Interested in everything interesting. I also fly occasionally 🪂 If, you feel lucky, try the Bitcoin Lightning #lottery www.satoshi.si Signal: nonce.01 XMR: 86JLdrP1GECSSWpJr18RaFdGnSXh2ubaP7oue8f2NDEj8YQytJLXd6thv7NQdz3yv1gAeMfQaM2kujUBPQtGyHE3AyokRcC

You know the saying "If you can't beat them, buy them"

Maybe that's the case now when financial institutions are heavily buying Bitcoin.

Limit supply of 21 million we all are so proud of, have a flaw imo and that flaws are financial institutions buying people's money with debt they can get at stupidly low rates which we plebs can't.

When you hold the majority of the supply, you dictate the price.

The story of an [Onion King](https://www.outsiderclub.com/the-onion-king-of-chicago/) might give us some clues. But that's history and onions can't be traded at futures markets anymore.

But the manipulation of [Gold](https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2019/05/20/yes-gold-is-being-manipulated-but-to-what-extent/) and other "stuff" are very much in progress today!

It's not a question if Bitcoin will be captured but when that will be.

They plan decades ahead. That's why they can't keep phase with today's innovations.

What comes after that remains a mystery but definitely nothing good for us plebs.

And by capturing it I mean that they will manipulate it and regulate the shit out of it, like they do with most financial instruments.

If the ship goes down, my future will go down with it 🫡

Just some morning thoughts 🤔

The Node was and is online. I was checking at [Amboss](https://amboss.space/node/029ca6d8397617d1bbe42714613dce0f262aa4db67123431113a148f5467029a0b) .

#Albyhub just doesn't like opening custom channels for some reason atm.

I ttried with #ThunderHub and channel was established easily 👍

Anyone else struggle to open ⚡ channel with Mullvad in albyhub?

Oh right, came back up right after I start looking at Nostr for possible issues.

All good

The fact Putin's plane arived right on time to Alaska shows respect for Trump and will to negotiate.

Putin likes to keep the other side waiting btw, but apparently not this time 🤝

Our military use to have them. Still has some I think. I took a ride in the back a couple of times and this thing can't be stopped by anything. When you think you'll roll over it keeps going, when you think no way you gonna came out of the swamp it keeps going, when you see no bottom of the hole ahead it bumps and keep going, when there's no road it drives like there was one.

#Pinzgauer is really a piece of engineering achievement but the gas ⛽ consumption is wohooohoooo.

Maybe US could point to EU VPNs and boost the EU mining just to give back you know, for blowing up Nord stream or expansion of NATO towards Russia.

If that wouldn't happen we would still have cheap Russian energy.

There was Twitter before shitcoins and Twitter today became one huge shitcoin.

Not just bicycles but e-bicycles! Super green, because if we torture ourselves on regular bikes, we’ll be breathing too hard and contributing to CO₂ emissions.

The future is mandatory e-bikes! Saving the planet from our own exhausted lungs.

Yes Layer.

Lightning is a good example.

Nobody needs to touched physically anything. If you have an outdated device, a malicious actor can be across the street and get into your computer or your server remotely.

Check if your old Logitech is on the list in the blog I posted.

Or even better. But new patched device.

Many of you here knows about variety of #cybersecurity treats, but I'm sure there's still someone who doesn't know about #MouseJack attack and still uses outdated wireless mouse.

The volnurability has been discovered in 2016 but unfortunately there are still cheap wireless mouses on the shelfs prone to MouseJacking

It's basically getting into your computer from across the street in seconds just because you might be using an old or cheap wireless mouse. Not Bluetooth but wireless.

This little piece plugged into your #USB can be used by #hacker or a script kiddie to literally own your computer by injecting malicious scripts. It's really easy. (Watch video bellow)

This blog explains the #volnurability and have a list of devices and if you're using any of them do not use it gor everyday use.

The dongle is also not something you throw away and it can be used or be sold for penetration testing.

Luckily we have Nostr! 🖖

Brutal work week half done.

Unfortunately my paycheck will not reflect the fact I'm working for 2.5 people atm.

But life is good and I don't care so much.

It's not leatning curve that's difficult. It's the mindset. We all know how important it is to use password managers online, but most web surfers are still scare of them. It's the basics Internet hygiene and they failed in it.

Hypothetically. If Nostr completely stops working on Android, I still won't kneel to an Apple ecosystem.

I rather sign notes manually on a piece of paper 📜

It can decode Paul's emojis 🤷

My site isn’t fully compatible because it uses a different approach. While it can decode Paul's emojis, full compatibility isn’t possible since there isn’t a single standard way to encode emojis using zero bytes. Different systems may use different encoding strategies, so universal support isn’t guaranteed.

Imagine Reddit but with Bitcoin tips and not some useless stickers like Reddit have.

Really like the UI of #Bitchat, but have the security vulnerabilities highlighted here been resolved yet?

Sheesh… that’s the kind of stuff they don’t sell to regular people. Whatever they’re on, it’s top-shelf, no doubt.

Since nano3 doesn't come out of the box with something like connecting to home assistant, may we know more how you're doing it

Do we have any Canaan Avalon nano3 users here?

If you are you know how cool it would be to have a schedule for your #mining power for your home miner.

In the EU, where electricity prices aren't cheap, it's a good practice to switch between Low, Medium, and High power modes based on the electricity rates at different times of the day or night.

I've created a Python script that you can run on a small Raspberry Pi Zero. This script will automate your #Canaan #Avalon #Nano3 power consumption based on your preferred schedule.

Enjoy ☕

I needed to make a few fact checks.

his was the sad reality...

ChatGPT:

"Partly true but misleading.

Marx had seven children with his wife, Jenny von Westphalen. Only three survived to adulthood. Four died in childhood.

The causes of death were related to poverty, poor living conditions, and diseases common in 19th-century Europe among poor families (like tuberculosis and bronchitis), not literally "starvation to death."

While Marx and his family lived in significant poverty for years, especially in London, it's not accurate to say that his children literally starved to death. But it is accurate that chronic poverty contributed heavily to poor health and child deaths.

Example:

His son, Guido, died of tuberculosis at age 4.

Another daughter, Franziska, died of bronchitis aged under 2.

These deaths were sadly very common in poor families during that time — not unusual, but still tragic.

---

Did two of Karl Marx's daughters commit suicide?

Yes, this is sadly true.

Eleanor Marx, his youngest daughter, committed suicide in 1898 by poisoning herself. She was distraught over her partner's betrayal (he secretly married another woman) and other personal issues.

Laura Marx, another daughter, also committed suicide together with her husband, Paul Lafargue, in 1911 in a joint suicide pact. They believed that old age was diminishing their ability to contribute meaningfully to their political causes.

These tragedies happened long after Karl Marx himself had died (he died in 1883), so they were not directly tied to his life situation but rather to their own personal and political struggles.

---

Did Karl Marx's wife Jenny von Westphalen support him his whole life?

Yes — but it's complicated.

Jenny was from a wealthy Prussian aristocratic family and sacrificed a comfortable life to marry Marx.

She deeply supported Marx emotionally and intellectually, helping him with editing his works, translating, and political correspondence.

But their marriage faced serious hardships: extreme poverty, the death of their children, and Marx's own flaws (including at least one extramarital affair — his housemaid Helene Demuth is believed to have had Marx's child, though this was hidden for decades).

Despite everything, Jenny stayed with him until her death in 1881, just two years before Marx himself died. Her letters show a mixture of deep love, frustration, suffering, and loyalty.

Summary:

Claim True/False Explanation

4 children died of starvation ❌ Partly true Died young, from diseases linked to poverty, not literal starvation

2 children committed suicide ✅ True Eleanor (1898) and Laura (1911) died by suicide

Wife supported Marx all his life ✅ True (with hardship) Stayed with him through poverty, child deaths, and personal struggles
