When you are asked to make answers for security questions, avoid using the real answer. Make up one or use a random jumbo of characters.

In case someone doxxes you, they won't be able to get into your accounts via this method.

Just sent in my first patch to the kernel.

This changes the kernel CSPRNG from ChaCha20 to ChaCha8 providing ~2x performance improvement without sacrificing security.

So I took a random 100W solar panel I have laying around, plugged it into one of those Chinesium 120V grid tie inverters that you can just plug into the wall, and it sits in my yard and it actually makes me 20¢ per day.

Eat your heart out miners.

Binance’s regional manager for Africa escaped custody in Nigeria and fled the country last month. But now he’s been arrested by authorities in Kenya and will soon be sent back to Nigeria.

With the April 19 bitcoin "halving," am resharing an essay I wrote on it from early in 2024. "Bitcoin's Baptism in the Heavenly City of 21st Century Financiers." #bitcoin #cryptocurrency #halving #crypto #BitcoinHalving

There's something deliciously karmic in the massive, unprecedented storm caused by hitting . It covers so many bases I don't even know where to begin enumerate them. But one I just discovered is that the city is hosting in a few days the , the “longest running” summit. The only way it could have been even more meaningful would be if the was some bullshit going on too.

firefly, to privacy in Swiss authorities intervene, Proton Mail not blocked in India

Everything you need to know about so-called 'Swiss Privacy' we learned decades ago from Operation Thesaurus, AKA, Operation Rubicon. We learned that CIA operations and black budget banking are actually headquartered in the Swiss underground.

Operation Rubicon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Rubicon

Crypto AG
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_AG

If you trust any third-party server to protect your privacy, you're a rube. If you trust Proton Mail to protect your privacy, you're a rube getting 'crossed' by the Swiss Rubi-con. Either you own your keys and your data on your computer or else you have no privacy. Someone else's promise that your data will be 'encrypted' so they can't decipher it is a hollow pledge. If you send any form of plaintext to a remote server, no matter how much they claim to encrypt it, you have zero assurance of data privacy.

Watch the phan boiz rage outlet!

It's coming ... and profitability of the mining is about to go to the toilet ... 😥 😅 Hope for new price action soon ...

If you use Discord, you might wanna know this.

A service called Spy Pet is scraping Discord servers, archiving and tracking users' messages and activity, and then selling access to that data.

Spy Pet scrapes more than 10,000 Discord servers, and besides selling access to anyone with cryptocurrency, it offers the data for training AI models or to assist law enforcement agencies, according to its website.

Spy Pet claims to be tracking more than 14,000 servers, 600 million users, and includes a database of more than 3 billion messages.

(The article is paywalled probably, etc but it's here) https://www.404media.co/a-spy-site-is-scraping-discord-and-selling-users-messages

I am so ready for this absurdly overblown LLM hype cycle to wrap up, so the adults can get back to the real work.

> an intense competition is underway to mine the first block after the halving, which could contain a rare and collectible fragment of a bitcoin known as an "epic sat."

You'll know that Bitcoin is mainstream when people just call them "scams" instead of "crypto scams"
