  • Basically I don't want anybody to get screwed with inflation, I don't want to make you rich , I just want you to beat inflation

    If you want to get more returns, then invest all of the money in index fund etc. , this is not going to replace it.

    This is to replace the banking system eating major profits. I want you , yes you dear reader , to earn the majority of profits of it being inflation protected

  • I am not treating it as an investing strategy. Since that is separate.

    Even in investing there is an emergency fund which are usually fixed deposits in India or cd's in America. They are also fixed and would cost money if you want to get them quickly.

    Think of what I am saying as this : imagine a way where it's basically just a bank account except it doesn't pay very less or less than inflation, it pays you exactly that of inflation so you're money is inflation protected in banks yet at the same time you can transact as usual.

    The best part , you don't have to know all the details, taxes etc.

    I want to create a not for profit for this to not be like visa .

    I also want to use this combined with upi to make upi more stable since this whole idea came from the fact that somebody called upi great but commented that India has a lot of inflation which they dislike if they are going to treat rupees as their store of value, upi is basically India's visa except 0 and I mean 0 fees.

    I do hope you read the post

    What if banks could protect your money against inflation – a proposal

    Hey I am the creator of this proposal! I was just wondering about What if banks could protect your money against inflation. Feedback & more importantly criticism is vital for such project.

    Disclosure : I have no banking & legal experience than some of what I learnt in 9th and 10th class and this is just a proposal to see how practical it is. Please don't discount it because of this fact and atleast still read it and please give me constructive criticism !

  • t I started using QGIS professionally when the small city that hired me to, among a lot of other duties, be the new GIS department.

    Turns out they thought ArcGIS cost the same as like Office or Acrobat, and they didn’t budget for it for the fiscal year that started 2 weeks before I started working.

    Anyway, I’ve gotten pretty good with

    great I had heard about superproductivity from techlore but I brushed it off

    could you please tell what seperates it from planify though?

    QGIS

  • okay so what alternative do you suggest which could be better used in exe formats I feel that unzipping from exe isn't the best solution to this problem

    (like some exe contain some zip file inside them and extract them)

  • I mean , I use linux but I can use wine to run the content inside , so in some sense "every content" is cross platform. I think it ultimately adds to better performance specifically for executable torrents in the long run over things like zip.

  • What advantage does it have over existing methods? It’s great that it’s cross-platform, but so are zip files. And the content inside isn’t cross-platform, so I don’t think that ultimately adds anything.

    https://github.com/upx/upx/issues/437

    It states that the more people use and report upx as non antivirus to windows , the better detection rate occurs. This software is open source y'all. Not sure why you all have got your pitchforks

    heres https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/e61c808be19688dacff19d9439563410067e6eb72a9cc8afdb2644a785d056b1 , upx virustotal link.

  • I had actually agreed with you , here was my initial comment , though I just wanted to look into upx github page more

     undefined
        
    okay now I understand what you mean.
    Basically the same threat model follows if you want to unpack a upx
    and it also states
    - We will *NOT* add any sort of protection and/or encryption.
        This only gives people a false feeling of security because
        all "protectors" can be broken by definition.
    
    What would you recommend instead ? .
    But also if you are extracting that file , you are basically running it , but the main issue is that antivirus can't read it
    
    
    
      

    new response:

     undefined
        
    
    But on  https://upx.github.io/ , its given as
    
    >secure: as UPX is documented Open Source since many years any relevant Security/Antivirus software is able to peek inside UPX compressed apps to verify them
    
    I am really sorry mate but please read about upx once because I don't know why but you just seem so defensive to this change without actually giving any good reason. Though you do seem knowledgable so I am obviously looking to have more discussion , but just a bit more detailed.
    Thanks , have a good day / good night
    
      
  • . Malware is enough of a problem that there’s no way I’d want to start downloading crap that’s been UPXed since that’s going to make it impossible to determine if it’s legitimate or not by (most) endpoint tools, or they’ll just see UPX and go ‘bad shit!’ on everything.

    You had clearly misunderstood what this tool is. Its tool for better compression of executables which could be used in data sensitive (Like , most people would agree with me that some times decrypting on our own local device could be better since it could be more predictable than waiting for seeders , because there are very less seeders)

  • well then you could still extract it using upx , (basically if I remember correctly , you use upx on one exe file to generate another (I think this is the intended use case of what I am suggesting) & then use antivirus on that. according to their website you can list, test and unpack your executables. Also, a checksum of both the compressed and uncompressed file is maintained internally.

    Linuxer @discuss.online

    We should probably use upx to package executable in torrenting space (Discussion)

    UPX is open source and works on linux , windows and mac (ie. cross platform) I would like to know why the torrenting space isn't using it already / having a mature discussion about it.
