@cobordism @hyc @voxel IMHO the only thing that moving #Ethereum from #PoW to #PoS achieved is raising the wall to make it harder, more expensive amd less attractive for #SmallInvestors to fiddle with it.

• #NotFinancialAdvice but I would've always disrecommended that espechally after #Buterin et. al. decided to #Backroll due to them and others having been #HornyForMoney and wanting to pull funds from #TheDAO.

Demondtrably, #EthereumClassic would at least be more trustworthy, alas that's an Opinion based off 'vibes'…

• Whether the PoS transition did save energy is debateable since #Ethereum uses #ASIC|s which makes it way more polluting due to these being useless for anything else. #Scalpers are shit but at the very least a #CPU or #GPU can be reused elsewhere…

@WB2EEE @Zugschlus @elly Which only applied to a small subset of machines and almost all #Linux #sysadmins know to properly test stuff or at the very least have proper #backups, use #snapshots to test stuff and be able to #backroll stuff if not quickly setup stuff easily.

• Again I blame both #CrowdStrike and #Microsoft because the first one made a #Rootkit and pushed it without proper #QA #testing and the latter one signed that shit and build an OS that doesn't easily allow for reproduceable and automated system installations!

Further proving my point in that the amount of issues would not have happened on Linux!
