    I think the biggest place it has genuine benefit would be for something like deeds to homes, titles for cars and stuff like that. A permanent, auditable and public system for tracking the transfer and ownership of things.

    Unfortunately it comes with its own caveats, such as “what if I lose the wallet containing the deed to my home, and I want to sell it?”

    I never really understood the whole thing about picture based NFTs though.











  • I build cloud IT infrastructure for a living and I’ve been at it for several years. There’s a lot to it, but I’ve gotten to a point where I’ve developed a reputation for being a person who knows how it works and can figure out how to build effectively in it. I won’t call it easy, but I’ve become comfortable and adept with it, and so to some it appears to be easy for me.

    Just recently we had a person join our team with a background almost exclusively in OS administration. He’s doing alright for someone who is just starting out, but it’s obvious he’s intimidated and so he asks a lot of questions.

    I told him this.

    It’s perfectly okay to feel like you’re in over your head on all of this. There is a lot to learn. Besides server administration, you have to understand networking, permissions management, software development to a degree, database management and a ton more.

    There’s a plethora of services at your disposal. Much like a giant toolbox, your job is to understand when to pull out the right tool, as well as how to use said tool effectively. This is going to take time, and you’re only going to truly learn it by doing it. Take time and ask questions, and you’ll get the hang of it. When I started, I was in the same boat.

    I think that’s made him feel better about his inexperience, and I’ve seen him progressing at an admirable pace.









  • Important question time, and ChatGPT wasn’t able to help here. A friend of mine was talking about some neighbors he had in an apartment building that smoked an impressive amount of weed, and that it changed the atmosphere.

    For some reason I had immediately thought of “wow they replaced earth’s atmosphere with just weed smoke.”

    So now for the question. How big would a joint have to be to accomplish this?
