So my country has now put a law that forces certain places to require showing a proof of vaccination in order to enter. Well, this morning I tried going into one of them, couldn't since I'm not vaccinated, went out for like 5 minutes while downloading a fake digital vaccine-thingy and overwriting it with my basic info, then came back to the establishment and showed it.

They let me in. Turns out the employees at the door are underpaid wagies that aren't remunerated enough to give half a shit of what goes in or out of the place, so they just half-assedly look at whatever you show them and so long as it seems to have official-looking logos, some kinda-legit looking text in uppercase, and some random QR code they say "alright, come in".

I'm kinda pissed because I wasted 4 minutes falsifying information when I could have just showed the fake vaccine proof with random data. And well, from now on I'll be relying on my fellow countrymen's mediocrity and half-assed labor in order to go by without getting the mark of the beast.

@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io sure, but it would fit the part where minting is centralized. also multiple roots should be possible?
half of bitcoin etc. is the distributed db part after all, no point if one just replicates that.
i'm not up to speed, but there is gnu taler which also aims for this space.

@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io @csddumi @Moon @cjd @silverpill if someone implements this: think about repurposing DNS for this, it is a distributed database working for decades.

@NimisCogitat@mastodon.social leaders are always a great idea!

@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io you only have to hate them if you are involved in wrongthink.

_are you?_

@nexusplasma@troet.cafe aha, ich bin also das problem, leibhaftig. gut zu wissen.

@aral 95% of the spam my rspamd filters is prevented by greylisting. greylisting is perfectly fine if one implements SMTP correctly, which means that there will be multiple attempts to deliver mail.
what really makes shit hard is stuff like dkim, spf, dmarc, because everyone has a different idea what is required and they make configuration of a mail server even harder.
sorry for the rant.

meanwhile i think that climate change (while it's likely true, can't argue with absorbtion) response is largely an op to push new shitty technology and externalize costs to consumers. all while the replacement technologies are creating toxic waste which can't be recycled. those will be more problematic than climate change, IMO.

@iron_bug i sure hope so, the alternative is that everyone is really that brainwashed..

@Elfie @CapitalB ich vermute inzwischen könnte man das auch beim namen nennen und die leute fändens geil. voll science fiction ey!

In 2022, look for ways to free yourself from control, and avoid imposing your control on others.
