    This week-long retreat with my co-workers is great but it also means that I have to explain how I spent my sabbatical approximately 100 times in a row.

    ceresbzns,

    @evacide
    So how did you spend your sabbatical?

    The thing I don't get about is this: its sole value is as the 'app store of crypto' allowing countless third party things to take advantage of utility... but, gas prices are always so ridiculously high that it costs more to use ether than 99% of the actual transactions on the network. so like 'you had one job' eth, and you totally fucked it up. it's this kind of thing that makes as a whole seem like a cult or constant grift at worst.

    ceresbzns,

    Layer 2 scaling protocols are actively working towards solving this problem. There are some pretty effective working models in place already. Transactions on optimistic rollups are already sub $1. Next protocol upgrade will drive these costs down even further.

    ceresbzns,

    @neotoy
    There's also side chains that are pretty cheap, but those introduce some challenging security tradeoffs

    I had been part of an underground movement that was hiding huge rubber dildos in places where cops where bound to discover them, such as in their desk drawers, on their front porches, on the belts instead of Billy clubs, in their cars where their shotguns used to be, etc.

    The police were literally running the whole town like a closed-campus prison, but we all still had our phones, so we would upload videos of cops discovering these huge dildos in order to get folks to join the resistance.

    Eventually, some cop ran past me, catching me in the act of hiding a huge dildo in a mailbox, but he didnt try to arrest me. He just yelled and waved a gun at me while running away. Then another cop ran past. And another. Then I saw the mob, sprinting after them, huge dildos flopping in their hands. I joined the chase.

    It was D-Day.

    And I see that the Daixin ransomware leak site is back online after a hiatus. Their spokesperson tells me that they have been working on other projects but will be resuming ransomware work soon.

    Hmmm.

    I started listening to “The Dispossessed” by Ursula Le Guin as a sort of follow up to “Babel-17” by Samuel Delany because I heard that it expands on the discorporate theme. Excited to get into it—my first time reading Le Guin.

    ceresbzns,

    @TypeErr0r
    My partner kept telling me for five years that I should read Le Guin and then I finally did and I was like "THIS IS AMAZING" and she was like "THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU"

    "Another way of thinking about this is that if a company can only stay in business by externalizing the cost of security, maybe it shouldn’t stay in business."
    -- Bruce Schneier : Click Here To Kill Everybody

    ceresbzns,

    @elfin

    Bruce always gets so close to the real point and then manages to miss it completely

    ceresbzns,

    @elfin

    So, the challenging thing here is that EVERY company externalizes the cost of security to a greater or lesser extent. Courts, military, police, these are all literally just externalized systems for enforcing property rights, mostly for the benefit of capital holders and corporations.

    Now, one might think that Bruce's assertion is therefore a scathing condemnation of the police state, but I've read enough of Bruce's writing to know that he's not an anticapitalist or even particularly antiauthoritarian.

    Somehow, he's lived through the same decade as the rest of us and come out of it thinking, for whatever reason, that better policy is the solution - rather than addressing the fundamental antisocial incentives and property relationships that underpin our society which keep leading to the outcomes he decries (rightfully) as dystopian and undesirable.

    The final episode of Picard is - so far - offensively bad. Actually worse than any episode of the preceeding 3 series.

    Need to go wash my brain after this.

    ceresbzns,

    @whalecoiner
    Yes. Picard has been truly awful. The first season was basically a Mass Effect 3 x TNG AU fanfic

    Are there any good sources that track recent breaches and compromised websites? A blog format is ideal but I'm interested in anything online. Reddit and Twitter used to be great sources but both have become pretty useless for this.

    Our daughter was born---several weeks early. Everyone's fine, but of course that means you won't see my mug on stream for a while. When I come back, you can reasonably expect even worse puns.

    When my kids were much younger, they were excited about a nest of baby birds in our backyard. They were watching it when a blue jay swooped in and snatched a baby bird away. They screamed. My son's favorite bird after that has always been blue jays.

    gulovsen, to law

    I'm reading the indictment in U.S. v. Kane, et al. which was unsealed yesterday...

    TL;DR - a couple of guys in the U.S. launched a project and paid a "market maker" to wash and spoof trade their project's token on several exchanges and now they're looking at a maximum sentence of 5-20 years in prison (if convicted).

    Fun fact - most exchanges require this sort of arrangement for tokens to get and stay listed on their platform.

    Seems bad. 🤔

    @law

    ceresbzns,

    @gulovsen

    This honestly seems like it might be a net positive development (well, not for Kane et Al obviously).

    Much like how the SEC forced Kraken to stop staking is pushing ETH stakers to decentralized providers, this seems like it might push token trading off cexes and onto dexes. (Not that I want shitcoin casino operators anywhere, but it seems kind of inevitable)
