Term invented by Ciro Santilli, it refers to Richard Feynman, after helping to build the atomic bomb:
And I would go along and I would see people building a bridge, or they'd be making a new road, and I thought, they're crazy, they just don't understand, they don't understand. Why are they making new things? It's so useless.

PostgreSQL getting started Updated 2025-07-16
On Ubuntu 20.10 PostgreSQL 12.6, login with psql on my default username without sudo fails with: stackoverflow.com/questions/11919391/postgresql-error-fatal-role-username-does-not-exist
This is the one that worked on Ubuntu 21.04: stackoverflow.com/questions/11919391/postgresql-error-fatal-role-username-does-not-exist/38444152#38444152
sudo -u postgres createuser -s $(whoami)
createdb $(whoami)
Explanation:
  • sudo -u postgres uses the postgres user via peer authentication
  • -s in createuser -s: make it a superuser
  • createdb: TODO why do we have to create a table with the same name as the user? Otherwise login fails.
You can now run psql without any password. This works without password due to peer authentication:
sudo cat /etc/postgresql/12/main/pg_hba.conf
shows that peer authentication is available to all users apparently:
local   all             postgres                                peer

# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            ADDRESS                 METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all             all                                     peer
List users:
psql -c '\du'
output:
                                    List of roles
  Role name  |                         Attributes                         | Member of

 postgres    | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication, Bypass RLS | {}
Delete user later on:
psql -c 'DROP USER username;'

createdb testdb0

Delete a database:
psql -c 'DROP DATABASE "testdb0";'
If you didn't give a database from the command line e.g.:
psql
you can do that afterwards with:
\c testdb0
Let's create a table and test that it is working:
psql testdb0 -c 'CREATE TABLE table0 (int0 INT, char0 CHAR(16));'
List tables, no special tables:
psql testdb0 -c '\dt'
gives:
        List of relations
 Schema |  Name  | Type  | Owner
--------+--------+-------+-------
 public | table0 | table | ciro
(1 row)
View table schema: stackoverflow.com/questions/109325/postgresql-describe-table
psql testdb0 -c '\d+ table0'
output:
                                      Table "public.table0"
 Column |     Type      | Collation | Nullable | Default | Storage  | Stats target | Description

 char0  | character(16) |           |          |         | extended |              |
Insert some data into it and get the data out:
psql testdb0 -c "INSERT INTO table0 (int0, char0) VALUES (2, 'two'), (3, 'three'), (5, 'five'), (7, 'seven');"
psql testdb0 -c 'SELECT * FROM table0;'
output:
 int0 |      char0
------+------------------
    2 | two
    3 | three
    5 | five
    7 | seven
(4 rows)
Delete the table:
psql testdb0 -c 'DROP TABLE table0;'

Crazy shady crypto people seem to like Ciro Santilli, so this is in order.
For the love of God do dot give us proceeds of crime.
Giving to Ciro Santilli is the worst possible way to launder your money, as donations amounts are clearly publicly disclosed (though not donor identities if they with to remain anonymous), and clear records kept of every donation made (including private note of donor identities if known). Also suspicious donations are promptly reported to the authorities.
Donation refunds upon donor's requests are only made at our discretion, and may be declined, unless required by law of course. This is to reduce the risks of us unknowingly serving as money mules or aiding money laundering.
Ciro Santilli believes that he is not require to report large donations to either:
But note that Ciro will preventively report if there are any further suspicious aspects to any donations received.

Reviews mostly old RPG and strategy games. And hentai games when it is possible to hide the porn from YouTube. He also sponsors Hentai and uploads it on his website: www.ssethtzeentach.com/nsfw
Ciro Santilli really likes his sense of humor, always going into "politically incorrect" areas, and often making fun of both dictatorships and the USA. He actually knows a bit about politics. Due to the nature of his humour, many of his earlier videos have been taken down from YouTube apparently, www.ssethtzeentach.com/videos mentions:
Ever since going full time, I'm usually very clean and stay out of trouble, but in the past a fair number of my videos were taken down.
The videos are also incredibly packed full of well selected edited-in "memes jokes". He particularly likes very short snippets of gay porn which cannot actually be taken down as porn, even though the obviously are porn excerpts, like the buffed dude blowing a kiss to his tit.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw8v5__Ytf4 Heroes of Might and Magic III (2018) is one of the best reviews. Sseth likes to find and make fun of game breaking imbalances, something that Ciro likes due to his Ciro Santilli's self perceived creative personality.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOJdDvf-tUs The Sseth Streaming Experience (2019), being a live stream, likely shows more realistically how Seth actually talks in real life.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG9g2byXR2c Might and Magic VI (Re)Review is another good video (2021)
Sseth has a certain vaporwave aesthetic, which Ciro also enjoys.

This feels so right. Doesn't have to be taken so literally for non-Monks, but all have clear less-extreme applications to non monks.
