  • I suppose that’s only a short-term effect.
    Long-term prognosis should be the oceans getting saltier because of the rivers carrying salt into the oceans until the equilibrium between salt being carried into the oceans and salt being sedimented at the ocean bed has been restored.
    Well, in geological time frames ‘short-term’ can be quite a long timespan.















  • You could try to get a used Dell Wyse 5070.
    If you pick the right dual ranked RAM modules (e.g. Patriot PSD416G26662S), you can have a max. of 2x16 GB.
    There’s a slot for SATA SSDs onboard and with the right adapter (PCIe A/E key -> M key) you can plug an NVME SSD in the WiFi PCIe slot, which gives plenty room for storage and even allow for a disk mirror setup.
    All that is very well within your budget and quite a beast that once was meant to be just a thin client.






  • Oh, they can go in one sentence, if done right.
    Nano offers fast transactions on a decentralized network while using very little energy.
    Strictly speaking it’s not just one blockchain, but one per account, which only the account owner can update (add blocks to it).
    This asynchronous design is what makes Nano so fast, because there’s no need to wait for others when updating one’s own blockchain.
    What it doesn’t have (yet?) is a sufficiently large network effect, which it may never acquire.
    But it is one example of an attempt at making digital money based on blockchain technology, which is not just a copycat, scam, rugpull or other malicious nonsense.
    Monero comes to mind as well and maybe a handful others.
    Sadly almost all around blockchain is not just not innovative, but outright evil.
