      Good for them finding a way to mine cryptocurrency like that. Quite a good incentive to get the shit fixed, isn’t it?

        I find the concept of hijacking someone’s computer to do cryptomining remotely so that you can make money off their hardware quite surreal. Like, the entire concept wasn’t a conceivable thing for me until recent years. Now couple that with Docker containers running who knows where and it gets a bit trippy. It reminds me of all kinds of parasites and their eccentricities from back in college but now in digital form. I’m not unfamiliar with cryptominers or malware, I just have a different POV.
