Advocate of the devil here: Would it then not become just a numbers game? This post is liked by x amount of people on this forum? What does that add exactly?-Shades (November 30, 2018, 08:09 AM)
The point of it would be so that you could express thanks or approval or give some form of feedback without having to create a new reply which would therefore ping everyone who has signed up to be notified of new replies. It also helps keep threads on topic instead of having a bunch of superfluous "thanks" or "nice" replies.
This would be especially handy, IMO, in threads such as the latest Steam or GOG giveaways.
As things are now, I have to choose between no reply at all (which can give the OP the idea that nobody cared about what they had to say/share) or possibly bothering a bunch of people with notifications just to say something like "thanks" or "I enjoyed that" etc. Often times I choose the former.-Deozaan (November 30, 2018, 11:17 AM)
If you're very concerned about security, I wouldn't trust WordPress, private or not. Not that it's not capable, it's just that WordPress is a big target. Keeping things that you'd rather not have anyone see but it's not disastrous if someone does? It's probably fine for that. But really secure things? I'd suggest somewhere else, IMO.I'll second that - There is no true 'privacy' on the internet.-wraith808 (July 07, 2018, 09:34 AM)
I wonder if it's a new(ish) policy to just drop off the package and leave.-Deozaan (November 17, 2018, 08:23 PM)
I get a disproportionate number of packages, and I can say that yes unless it is needed for a signature, in my area, everyone just drops and dashes.-wraith808 (November 17, 2018, 08:51 PM)

But then the Bitcoin Core team crippled Bitcoin, which slowed (and regressed) adoption, while driving transaction fees through the roofYes, multiple forks (what are they up to, like 4 now?) have been driven by the internal conflict about trans fees, security, and how to scale the network properly.-Deozaan (November 07, 2018, 10:27 PM)
But the intent was for the transaction payments to increase as the BTC production dropped off. However the transaction payments (e.g. cost...) part has turned into a rather total shit show that nobody is happy about.I thought the promise was low-cost (and fast) transactions ... maybe that's why nobody's happy about it.-Stoic Joker (November 06, 2018, 03:59 PM)-tomos (November 07, 2018, 04:24 AM)

I can, SAMBA v1 has been disabled by default after Windows 10 updates. Now I have to access my 4TB NAS, (no updates available), via FTP because re-enabling it didn't work on my computer.-4wd (October 23, 2018, 06:42 PM)
