I'm so sorry to say it, but today @linuxjournal closed down for good. As you can imagine we are all so sad that this is the end. You can read my final goodbye here:

scratchy lets you quickly bootstrap a Linux distro in a (non-Docker) container and interactively execute something in it:

Currently supports bootstrapping Arch, but it's super easy to add more scripts for other distros! Contributions always welcome!

Based on feedback, I added content about alternative technologies and locating Exit Nodes.

A huge thanks to everyone who attended. We all made this event a success together, and I'm already looking forward to the next one!

Keeping with the cypherpunk ethos, it would be great if I could refer people to a hosting provider that accepts Bitcoin.

Seeking recommendations if you've got any, thanks!

Interesting historical detail:

There is only one BIP that has ever reached the status "Rejected". It's BIP 109 by Gavin Andresen.

See the table on the readme of https://github.com/bitcoin/bips

Plenty have been withdrawn though.

Bitcoin may do to banks what the internet did to libraries.

Bitcoin may do to central banks what the printing press & age of enlightenment did to the Church's monopoly on knowledge.

Except that systems of money have stronger network effects than systems of knowledge, so perhaps the events that unfold will be even more acute and accelerated, compared to whats happening with the internet.
