There is a comparison between these three systems in the Condorcet wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method#Comparison_wi...
None are perfect but IRV is in use and effective. Tactical voting is still an option but at scale either obvious or difficult to organize without being obvious.
For startups/new breweries it can be a double edged sword leading to high initial debt or overhead costs but with the right leadership/strategy/product it definitely pays out over time.
Tether is analogous to the gold standard but without verifying the gold exists in reserves, or ever existed at all. Exchanges are facilitating billions in money laundering and fraud while eating massive fees and paying millions to founders. Transactions can be hidden behind shell wallets/groups and filtered through many exchanges reducing transparency and increasing odds of successful illegal activity.
There is a ton of legitimate criticism just looking at the fraud side of Crypto and how lack of regulation in that space enables a ton of crime. It's often drowned out by PR or the next big blockchain based thing that seems flashy but still comes with all the same problems as regular physical money.
It's like asking your IT group to install spyware on users workstations instead of respecting or enforcing HR policy. It's a people problem, not a tech problem.
The concept that government is there to help is taken like a conspiracy theory and slowly 'Starving the beast' provides ample opportunity for failure that only furthers anti-federalist mentality. Or as some should be saying as they campaign, "Government doesn't work, elect me and I'll prove it!"
I used to run pihole on various Linux distros I was testing for home server stuff. It used to be that some distros needed a few packages added to support pihole properly but nowadays the app itself is more streamlined and/or most common distros include the minimum components. I think pihole did focus on streamlining to enable easier docker support which is where I should be putting my install whenever I get back to messing with the homelab. I've been working in windows systems for work so everything is currently Win Server based which plex doesn't seem happy with but is easier than running the whole thing as VMs on my older hardware.
You should still by from a trusted or well reviewed source/manufacturer. My issue is the cheaper long cables I have all work but charging is not fast, just normal speed.
