Can there be a challenge that actually does some maliciously useful compute? Like make their crawlers mine bitcoin or something.

[–] nymnympseudonym@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The Monero community spent a long time trying to find a "useful PoW" function. The problem is that most computations that are useful are not also easy to verify as correct. javascript optimization was one direction that got pursued pretty far.

But at the end of the day, a crypto that actually intends to withstand attacks from major governments requires a system that is decentralized, trustless, and verifiable, and the only solutions that have been found to date involve algorithms for which a GPU or even custom ASIC confers no significant advantage over a consumer-grade CPU.

Crazy. DDoS attacks are illegal here in the UK.

Is there a migration tool? If not would be awesome to migrate everything including issues and stuff. Bet even more people would move.

Codeberg has very good migration tools built in. You need to do one repo at a time, but it can move issues, releases, and everything.

I mean, we really have to ask ourselves - as a civilization - whether human collaboration is more important than AI data harvesting.

Gosh. Corporations are rampantly attempting to access resources so they can perform copyright infringement en-masse. I wonder if there is a legal mechanism to stop them? Oh, no there isn't because our government is fully corrupted.
