That’s why I specified a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency. They use so much less energy that it is practically negligible in comparison, and more on the order of traditional online transactions.

Yeah, exactly. A regular user isn’t going to notice an extra few cents on their electricity bill (boiling water costs more), but a data centre certainly will when you scale up.

Scarcity is what powers this type of challenge: you have to prove you spent a certain amount of electricity in exchange for access to the site, and because electricity isn’t free, this imposes a dollar cost on bots.

You could skip the detour through hashes/electricity and do something with a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency, and just pay for access. The site owner actually gets compensated instead of burning dead dinosaurs.

Obviously there are practical roadblocks to this today that a JavaScript proof-of-work challenge doesn’t face, but longer term…

What video adapter is in there?

Have you tried dmesg over SSH? Sometimes you can get an extra message or two if the display freezes before the entire kernel does.

Sure, maybe you don’t need to put your sexual identity in a post asking for help configuring nginx, but in an introductory post where you’re explicitly describing yourself… Yeah, I think you should be allowed to mention your sexuality.

How does it compare to keycloak?

I run Gentoo as my main distro, and have for a couple years now. It’s a pretty stable rolling release (IMO more stable than Arch), and since you’re already an advanced user, the experience should be pretty rewarding!

The wiki is great, and the installation handbook is top notch.

You get to control exactly what features each package is compiled with, so no bloat at all.

KDE 6 just landed too!
