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

    Jump

  • 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

  • Welcome man, I want to say this , that this discuss is the place where I got engagement even though it's 3 comments. I posted this on hackernews and nothing. I genuinely feel welcomes by your community.

    I saw this when trying to post it and since i was part of the discuss online and it showed local and I found discuss , I thought it was pretty interesting to post it here.

    Thanks for being inclusive. Thanks a lot.

    could you please tell what seperates it from planify though?

    oh yes I was commenting to some other post , not sure how It commented it here. My bad

  • 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

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

    Jump

  • 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)

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

    Jump

  • 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.

  • yes I think it does indeed have better ratio than 7z with better speed , I think without the need of extraction.

  • Traditional file compression doesn't work that well as compared to upx. Upx supports as much as 500 mb/s on any reasonable device (this is very comparable to https://github.com/mhx/dwarfs) , which is honestly insane.

    Jump

  • 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

     
        
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:

     
        

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)

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

    Jump

  • 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.
