"[Dutch] #offshore #wind farms close to Borssele and Egmond aan Zee were powered down to a maximum of just two rotations per minute on May 13.

[#Migration models] provide predictions about when and where #birds will be, two days in advance, [giving] #grid operator TenneT time to guarantee the #stability of the high-voltage grid."

New paper!

If you want to assess the stability of the synchronization of a system of identical oscillators, you can use the Master Stability Function. However, what do you do in a real-world case, when the elements of the system are not exactly identical? We show how to extend the formalism and use it also when there are many-body interactions, such as in a simplicial complex.

More packages = more updates.
More updates = more bugs, more breakage, more vulnerabilities.

Kali just came out, yet 300+ updates and warnings on first boot.

What will it look like in a few months?

BashCoreX chooses minimalism not for looks, but for security, control, and long-term sanity.

@maikel basically, it boils down to the few key features of #Monero:

1. #Anonymity & #Privacy: Unlike with any other #cryptocurrency (aka. #Shitcoins) it's not just pseudonymous in that there is no mandatory linkage between individuals & their wallets, but the entire transaction history and balance is hidden. Unlike say #Bitcoin or #Ethereum one cannot track the coins from the moment of mining to their destination.

2. Speed: Monero's network does mine one block every 2 minutes. After 10 blocks any transfered balance gets unlocked for spending. That means that a transfer is completed at worst within 6 minutes and the balance is being unlocked at worst after 24 minutes. This makes it faster than Instant-#SEPA which only has a 1 hour SLA.

3. #Fungibility: Like #cash all it's coins are equal, since they cannot be tracked. This makes Monero the digital equivalent of cash.

4. #Scalability & #Stability: Monero adaptively self-adjusts block sizes and mining difficulty based upon demand (transactions in it's mempool aka. requested transactions that have to be added to the blockchain) and supply (total blockchain hashrate). Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum it has a fixed Tail Emission Rate of at least 0,6 #XMR (Monero) per block, so the miners solving it get at least 0,6 XMR (+ transaction fees), which is a longterm stable rate. Bitcoin and Ethereum will necessitate huge transfer fees once their last coins are mined to make sense, which will result in the crash of said cryptocurrencies as they'll be too expensive to trade!

5. Anti-#ASIC and focussed on #CPU|s of general-purpose machines: Whilst it does run on #ProofOfWork, it's specifically designed to run poorly on #GPU|s and not on #ASICs as the latter one are not just manufactured #eWaste but also inherently increase the centralization (with less than a dozen big miners controlling >50% of Bitcoin and Ethereum's hashrate respectably). Thus it's the "least worst" in that regard. #ProofOfStake is not possible due to it's privacy-based setup (#Staking necessitates a public balance) and unlike a #Shitcoin like #FileCoin it doesn't incentivize #hoarding components. (in this case: #HDD|s)

6. Accepted & Convertable: Whilst there is a concerted effort to ban Monero, there are payment processors like #NowPayments that accept Monero. It's low transaction fees and good speed make it useable in settings like Restaurants and Online Stores (sadly not retail, because it would need to be like 60x faster)... And even then it's easy to convert to/from Shitcoins.

That's the #TLDW of Whiteboard Crypto, Mental Outlaw and The Hated One

And finally:

7. Monero gets continously developed and enhanced, whereas Bitcoin, #Litecoin and Ethereum don't even do proper #upgrades via #HardForks (see #EthereumClassic)...

Can we please not need to move our home (the Vulpibus) around purely because of running out of currency or being at a free parking lot for too long?

We just need somewhere STABLE to park while we get our shit together.
Somewhere it's okay to put objects outside our vehicles while we arrange and rebuild the interior.
Somewhere it's okay to do a bit of mechanical work so long as we are clean about it (not spilling oil etc).

Township bylaws and corporate policies are really fucking shit for homeless folks including those living in vehicles.
