- Comment on From millions of dollars to under a grand: The dramatic fall of the NFT 1 week ago:
Not the entire supply, just enough to affect prices. Basically the stock market but without even the appearance of it not being manipulated to hell.
And it’s not Russia, or not just them, anyone with enough money to play can fuck people with sub-8 figure net worths over.
- Comment on From millions of dollars to under a grand: The dramatic fall of the NFT 2 weeks ago:
But that increases the money supply. This way they can take money from other people. For example Russia can get USD without printing and inflating RUB.

You buy enough to raise the price, announce that you’re buying it, schmucks try to get in on the wave, you dump while tweeting diamond hands.
Repeat.

In Nginx you can do rewrites so services think they are at the root.

The supply of an asset is the volume of that asset available for purchase.
If I buy all of that, supply becomes zero.

You misunderstand, if I own the GDP of a world power, what’s preventing me from buying a ton of Bitcoin and fucking with the supply that way?
Crypto nowadays looks like a pump and dump free for all.
- Comment on From millions of dollars to under a grand: The dramatic fall of the NFT 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but a currency practically needs a military and an economy to back it.
Who is going to stop me from fucking with the bitcoin supply if I own the US economy?
- Comment on Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant 3 weeks ago:
Claude code has them, it’s just that this guy apparently doesn’t know how to do Terraform either
- Comment on Oracle Layoffs: Tech giant to slash 30,000 jobs as banks pull out from financing AI data centres | Company Business News 3 weeks ago:
It’s not unheard of, in certain cases in certain more civilised states it does happen.
The state should be able to sue as layoffs put strain on the social system.

The guy who put the chat bot on the server, and then that guy may sue the other one if applicable.
- Comment on Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant 3 weeks ago:
I’m an engineer using Terraform and Claude Code as well in a much larger and more expensive setup than his.
You do not let Claude Code run
terraform apply, it has zero benefits. All it does is that it runs the command and obscures the output. Most of the time is going to be spent in waiting for the automation anyway, most of the effort that you can spare is before running apply.Also:
applying delete protections to Terraform and AWS permissions, and moving the Terraform state file to S3 storage instead of his local machine
These both take like 20 seconds, and should be in the getting started manual of Terraform and AWS databases respectively. Setting up remote state is 5 minutes in vanilla Terraform, 30 seconds in something like Terragrunt.
Also, use OpenTofu, stop supporting corporate acquisitions, also takes zero effort and money.
And finally:
most sysadmins will spot the baseline issues with Grigorev’s approach, including granting wide-ranging permissions to what’s effectively a subordinate of his, as well as not scoping permissions in a production environment to begin with.
No, not subordinate. Tool. Two big differences with it. A subordinate might understand more than you do about the code, a tool will guess and rely on you. And the second one is that you practically can’t separate your and your tools’ permissions, I mean Claude Code will supposedly ask you if it can use some tool or another and you can whitelist actions it can take, but it will never be completely locked out of destroying your database the way you can lock another user out.

- Comment on xkcd #3211: Amperage 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think so, also electric chargers of varying quality are super ubiquitous in Europe.
My little Eastern European hometown of 20k people has two stations of 8 plugs each.

Morrowind is definitely a looker, that art style is something Beth has never been able to approach again.
But hard agree on the VFX.

Less and less these days.
In fact, some old Windows games ran better for me on Linux than new Windows.

- Comment on How many containers are you all running? 1 month ago:
Yeah that shit is more common than people think.
A big part of the business of cloud providers is that most orgs have no idea how to do shit. Their enterprise consultants are also wildly variable in competence.
There was also a large amount of useless bullshit that I needed to cut down since being hired at my current spot, but the amount of containers is actually warranted. We do have that traffic, which is both happy and sad, since while business is booming, I have to deal with this.
- Comment on How many containers are you all running? 1 month ago:
I know using work as an example is cheating, but around 1400-1500 to 5000-6000 depending on load throughout the day.
At home it’s 12.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Car heating can be adjusted to decimals usually. So can the heating in my home. The oven can’t, because the chicken doesn’t care if it’s 180 or 181 degrees.
- Comment on Android won't kill sideloading after all, but new verification rules will make it harder 2 months ago:
Okay, but Google uses it in a way where directly going to the server they host F-Droid.apk, downloading and installing it counts as sideloading.
If anything, using Google Play is sideloading by that definition, since I can’t just download a release from the originators’ server, they need to first transfer it into a secondary location, Google’s servers, and I can only install it from there.

- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 2 months ago:
IMO it’s great but it is a departure from earlier titles in more than just going to 3D, and the sides are a 90s caricature of the US/China/Middle-Eastern people, so it’s something that you definitely couldn’t make today.
Like the “terrorist” side gets suicide bombers and a unit called “angry mob” to which Chinese flamethrowers or American snipers are a good counter, while China gets two soldiers for the price of one and propaganda loudspeakers everywhere that makes units fight harder.
