Exactly 14 years ago , Satoshi Nakamoto designed the most pathetic / inefficient system ever invented by humankind : the blockchain.

Today, it weights 60 000 tons, wastes constantly 10 gigawatts (more than Belgium or Chile) to process less than 7 transactions per second :

Less than a 33 bps modem from 1990.

This could be a joke if it didn't have such gigantic environmental impact, wasn't enabling billion dollars ransomware industry and was not crushing thousands of lives in the process.

Can't wait for the "send us cryptocoins" section on websites to go the way of the AOL keyword.

@brauner you should use "b4 send --hide-cover-to-cc" then. ;) You can make that permanent with b4.send-hide-cover-to-cc.

@brauner maybe, but not until git-filter-repo is able to preserve notes (remember, we found out that it currently can't).

@ljs @brauner the contributor features are still considered experimental (I'm still fixing corner-case bugs), but many people find it suitable for day-to-day work.

@brauner no worries. Please let me know if some of the things are more clear after you read those docs.

@brauner thanks for writing that up! Have you visited b4.docs.kernel.org before trying things out? Many of your questions are really answered there (e.g. you use the cover letter to add To: and Cc: addressees, as well as use --auto-to-cc to populate it).

@DrCuff on the other hand, we have some great Trailer Parks.

Me: nobody sends more than 999 patches in a series, so let's "\d{1,3}/\d{1,3}"
@gregkh: [PATCH 6.1 0000/1146]

@kevinrothrock I doubt he knew about the rings until he read the protocol for the meeting. One of the staffers surely has read the LOTR and the design is very reminiscent of the tower with the eye of Sauron.

Considering that Russian soldiers are called "orks" by the Ukrainian defenders, this almost smells like intentional PR sabotage.

@GossiTheDog I see that when he said "let that sink in," he was referring to the Tesla stock price.

re: kernel.org, protonmail & wkd: incompatibility

@conor Eek. Protonmail is just not very good for this kind of work, period -- I see zero reason why you would want to use it for anything other than communicating with someone else who has a protonmail account.

Added "chatgpt" to my filter list where it joins "wordle".
