Wow, that's dumb, an unencrypted EXT4 file system for Linux is supported. I always encrypt my laptop and desktop. I'm more of a Google Drive and Nextcloud user anyway.

There are some good features with 4.18. But right now I'm more interested in the KVM Microsoft Hyper-V improvements.

Guess i was right about that.
Shortly Ill be posting about the $0 price of btc, stay tuned.I have a movie pass, got in on some deal and got a year of it for like $90.00, already have seen like 15 movies on it so I am ahead even if they go bust. They keep changing the terms of service which is frustrating. It used to be, any movie, any showtime, only once. Now it is only certain movies and certain showtimes. So for me, it is now useless because none of the showtimes ever match up with when I want to see a movie. Which is usually the early showings on Saturday like 11 am to 1 pm. I didn't think it would last but I thought at $90.00 I would most likely be ahead of it before it went bust. A gamble, but it did pay off.

@momurda just out of curiosity sake do you think that blockchain will have a place in the financial industry, just not as cryptocurrency as it is now, or is it just all garbage?
-
@penguinwrangler As a currency it is garbage. for tracking merchandise it is useful.

@jaredbusch Yes a couple people here thought it was the best thing ever outside of bitcoin.
Being a subscriber is probably good, giving them investment money probably not -
@momurda The thing about it is this, who is going to be first to sign up for Moviepass? The people that like to see a lot of movies, which causes them to burn through their money. I saw a news release that had that they needed to reach 5 Million subscribers to be profitable. I guess the math works out that way. I won't resubscribe though.

My father in law uses it and goes to SO many movies. They definitely lost money on him.

Yeah, that's one crazy drop in value.

No. You are wrong. People discussed it here, yes. People said it was a good deal for the subscriber. No one here ever said it was a viable business model or was going to last.
Also you disregard for everything blockchain is also well documented that you have no understanding of the actual dynamics at play.
