Apparently a #bitcoin #mining #operation got #caught trying to #steal #gas and creating a #secret #powerplant https://gizmodo.com/a-bitcoin-mining-ope.. A local #pub tried to tap into the #gas #supply where I used to live too - on a *live* gas main pipe! It's only because it happened literally directly outside our house that we were able to stop it. If it wasn't for the risk of #explosion , it would have been better to let them do it and then #report them.
#elonmusk has no choice but to #bendover and take whatever the #chinese give him, as they #steal his #ip and take 50% ownership of his #china based #tesla #company https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/musk-p.. I'll build my own #ev thanks.
Interesting #discussion on #vps #cpu time #steal https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/17.. I have often wondered a few times about potentially setting up my own, perhaps specifically to #compute for the #jvm in some safe way. It could end up incredibly cheap if all that is deployed is a #jar file, it uses limited #disk and has a #network connection... Remove #dynamic #memory #allocation and things could get super interesting!
