[spam] [paranoia] tty stream
does anyone recognise the UI element displaying this on tty1? It happened for maybe half an hour today on raspbian. Systemd was in graphical mode, but I mostly use the ttys. I haven't seen it before or since. https://youtu.be/TPKA_xgI8_8 note: if using youtube, we should move to freer alternatives, I think one might have been called peertube? unsure. Figuring out the unexpected system behaviors I experience seems good. Let me know if there are threads on this list I should be catching up on and replying to. It's hard to cover them all.
ttys
On old ttys sometimes bad hardware... bios or video flash corrupted, cooling fans locked up, chips sockets cables connectors weak, disks returning garbage, boot sectors virus, dust cakes zinc whiskers keyboard muck, etc.
Systemd was in graphical mode
Sometimes these splash screens daemons, or buggy chip+os video mode driver poking can be.
alternatives
Peertube, dtube, lbry, bittorrent, storj, etc. Offline distributed usually expire unless paid. Abusing blockchains with bulk data often unhelpful bloat.

This isn't relevant to a raspberry pi of course but is pretty cool extensive story of digital history.

I didn't find any other processes using the tty device file than the terminal I had open. This is clearly not a buggy chip to me, as tty's are kernel level concepts. Similarly video drivers usually don't have tty splash screens that I'm aware. I figure it was some rogue splashscreen process but wasn't sure how to look for it given nothing else had the device open with `sudo fuser /dev/tty1`.

^_^ !!!! Offline distributed usually expire unless paid.

A blockchain network severely slows down if the chain gets bulked, but usually in hacker circles software code is what is trusted to defend against that, rather than community norms. Re slowness, see bitcoin sv stn which takes huge resources to sync the chain due to its gigabyte blocks. Great for preventing destruction of data on chains designed for it of course.

dtube is not spam.
