  • I would do everything in VMs, mostly Linux and probably one Windows. Proxmox would be only for managing VMs. I want everything in VMs because it’s more flexible for partitioning storage and i can have both Linux and Windows runing at the same time (which can’t be done with dualboot). I am student of computer science so i use it for programming, both for college and side projects. Sometimes there are a lot of programs i have so OS kind of gets bloated, not so much from performance standpoint but just mental overhead of having 10, 20, 30 programs and having to keep in mind what program needs what dependencies, env variables, etc… so i want to kind of group them to VMs and CTs.






  • Sure, they are not perfectly stable, there is always inflation (sometimes more, sometimes less).

    But its not as volatile as crypto. In last 24h difference between monero high an low is ~2% (which isnt terrible by itself but on a longer period its larger difference) and regular currency effectively has almost no volatility in 24h period.

    Acording to google 1 year inflation was ~3.4% for dollar. (so probably diff hig low is just a bit higher) Difference between monero 1 year low an high was greater than 20%. So monero is something like 6 times more volatile. (and i am not talking about inflation, but volatility)

    So its not exactly the same situation regarding stability.


  • But that only guarantees safe one way transaction. If that is all you want thats ok.

    But for safer transaction you want something like smart contracts. So you can actualy know you are gonna get what you buy for example.

    Without some kind of smart contracts you are actualy relying on exchanges (so in reality it isn’t really trustless).

    Does monero have some kind of smart contract mechanism? In which case I am talking nonsense😂.



  • I dont understand what service you would give or get from that.

    Something like filecoin, you can provide storage or buy storage without need for some external exchange. Because it is basically “baked in” the crypto (or should be, i am not completely sure it works that way).







  • Would there be a way to 3D print plastic part of a battery and just fill it with standard battery types (cylindrical batteries) and make them swapable? Because as far as i know there isn’t really any electronics in batteries, just different voltages based on number of batteries in series and different mounting mechanism. It just seems like a silly vendor lock-in.
