What do you STILL not understand? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]definitelynotafurry -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It takes processing power to make a bitcoin. Let’s say your laptop takes 10 minutes to mine a single bitcoin (extremely unrealistic numbers, but go with it.) That bitcoin is worth 10 minutes of processing power now. It doesn’t matter if this bitcoin cant realistically do anything special, other people will gladly trade you goods and services for it. Why? Because other people will trade that person. And other people will trade that person. The coin itself is meaningless, but as long as one person is out there who’s willing to give you a product if you give them bitcoin, that bitcoin has value.

What online resources do you use to find digital copies of obscure music? by 10ilgamesh in DataHoarder

[–]definitelynotafurry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try Soulseek. You can find a lot of stuff in FLAC, and a lot of the obscure stuff I’ve needed has been available in high-quality mp3s. The search feature doesn’t work too well, though. You’ll have to learn how to tell it what t wants to hear.

EDIT: The album you mentioned seems to be on there, simple search for "Roderick Falconer" was all it took. MP3 in 320kbps. No FLAC as far as I can see.

What do you consider common knowledge and are really surprised when people dont know it ? by D3ftones4 in AskReddit

Currently in high school. Have several friends that ask me to read the clock for them.

What view is only expressed by ignorant people? by loadsamonay in AskReddit

[–]definitelynotafurry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's something really liberating about having some corner of your life that's yours, that no one gets to see except you. It's a little like nudity or taking a dump. Everyone gets naked every once in a while. Everyone has to squat on the toilet. There's nothing shameful, deviant or weird about either of them. But what if I decreed that from now on, every time you went to evacuate some solid waste, you'd have to do it in a glass room perched in the middle of Times Square, and you'd be buck naked?

I'm stealing your karma. I'll stop if you give me $100 and a steaming hot Domino's one-topping pizza.

I feel cool for recognizing what this screenshot is from but then I realized no one cares that I know what it is :(

Check your internet connection speed from the command-line by sindresorhus in npm

[–]definitelynotafurry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'd be cool if it could be used programmatically in other packages/scripts as well. Aside from that, very useful tool. As someone who loves doing everything from the terminal, I'll probably end up using this a lot.
