El control no está en la intención de cambiar una situación, sino en cambiar tu posición para que el cambio se produzca naturalmente.

I don't know, what about it?

Pieter Wuille sobre se ha pronunciado sobre cambiar Bitcoin Core para dejar de retransmitir ciertas transacciones:

"No creo que esto sea del interés de los usuarios de nuestro software. El punto de participar en la transmisión de transacciones y tener un mempool es poder hacer una predicción sobre cómo serán los próximos bloques. Excluir intencionalmente transacciones para las cuales existe una demanda económica muy clara (aunque sea estúpida) interrumpe esa capacidad, sin eliminar la necesidad de validarlas cuando se extraen.

Por supuesto, cualquiera es libre de ejecutar o proporcionar software que transmita/guarde/extrape lo que desee, pero si su objetivo no es tener un mempool realista, también puede ejecutar el modo -blocksonly. Esto tiene ahorros de recursos significativamente mayores, si ese es el objetivo.

En la medida en que esto sea un intento de no solo no ver ciertas transacciones, sino también de desalentar su uso, esto como máximo hará que esas transacciones eviten los nodos que implementan esto, o en el peor de los casos resultará en una práctica de enviar transacciones directamente a los mineros, lo que tiene riesgos serios para la centralización de la minería. Aunque la no estandarización se ha utilizado históricamente para desalentar prácticas molestas, creo que esto es (a) mucho menos relevante en estos días donde bloques completos son la norma, por lo que de todos modos no reducirá los costos de operación del nodo, y (b) impotente para detener transacciones para las cuales ya existe un mercado existente, uno que paga decenas de BTC en tarifas por día.

Creo que la demanda de espacio en bloque que muchas de estas transacciones plantean es completamente equivocada, pero elegir no verlas es como enterrar la cabeza en la arena."

Buen comentario, muy sensato 👌

Hoy por primera vez en mi vida perdí un vuelo (de cabotaje) con mi familia 😪

Llegamos al aeropuerto un poco más de una hora antes de la salida pero nos dijeron que ya no podíamos despachar las valijas, porque el despacho de equipaje cierra dos horas antes del vuelo. Lo que más nos importaba despachar era el huevito y carrito del bebé, pero ya no se podía.

Curioso porque hace unos meses hicimos el mismo viaje con la misma empresa, y llegamos al aeropuerto con más o menos el mismo tiempo, y pudimos despachar las valijas sin drama. Cambios.

Por "solo" un monto considerable reprogramamos para mañana. Así que a primera hora salimos para el aeropuerto... 😅

9 Dangers of Google’s Power

1) The government is their data customer, so you’ve lost your civil liberties. Google can now act on the government’s behalf to do things that otherwise would be illegal

2) Supposedly you have a choice in this, but the more powerful they are, the harder it is to avoid. How many reCaptchas are on essential websites? Do a DNS lookup on employers’ emails, and you’ll find that you will truly struggle to get a job without it going to a Gmail server. The employer having a vanity domain doesn’t change it being Gmail.

3) Google profited from covid’s stay-at-home work, so they are motivated to (and did) help politicians promote lockdowns by suppressing contrary information with the goal of preventing you from going outside. For example, they literally took down Google docs from physicians presenting research critical of the government’s policies. [1]

4) Google search is the largest and most influential source of research for many, but also a US military cloud contractor. That’s a conflict of interest for them to promote endless war. As Julian Assange points out, during the Syrian civil war, they put John Kerry’s pro-intervention propaganda right below the front page’s search bar. [2] Why even wait till they search for Syria? Get em now! But no mention of Wikileaks cables showing the US encouraged ethnic violence to do regime change despite Assad making reforms.

5) While we’re on the subject of Wikileaks, guess what company John Podesta’s leaked emails were? So people mouth off about Google cloud’s supposed security, but these are the same Democrats that insist that Wikileaks was a Russian hack and not an organic inside leak like Assange says it is. So either Gmail is insecure or your political worldview is wrong. Which is it?

6) Having your data stored with Google is a huge risk you’ll lose it. For example a father uploaded a picture to send to a physician of his son’s groin medical issue. Google’s AI labeled it child porn, froze his accounts, and notified the police. [3] Even after the police and physician both cleared him of wrong-doing and wrote letters, Google still refused to give his accounts back to him. “He was cut off not only from his Google email but also his mobile provider and Google Fi – and he also lost all of his emails, contacts, photos and even his phone number.” [3] Even if we ignore the Orwellian automated notification of the police based on your private data, why can’t he get it back after the police completely clear him of wrong-doing?

7) You don’t really own things. As our previous article on this issue covered, Google can see ALL activity on stock Androids, such as 2FA or passwords. This means that often Google can access accounts off their platforms. Not your keys, not your coins. Remember the World Economic forum saying? “You will own nothing and be happy... because we have your 2FA and passwords”

8) Google isn’t even really a fully private company. It openly had one of the largest revolving doors of staff with the White House in history. [4] And as journalist James Corrbett points out, there are deep-rooted connections between the CIA’s money and Google. [5] Corbett’s article points to a 2006 interview, with ex-CIA agent Robert David Steele, who said “I think Google took money from the CIA when it was poor and it was starting up,” Steele said in the interview. “They’ve been together for quite a while.” [5]

Many companies SELL to government. But Google is one of the few that get favors FROM the NSA. According to the Washington Post, Google enlisted the NSA to help it ward off cyberattacks. [6] Since when is the NSA supposed to be the IT department for a PRIVATE company?!

9) Given the massive bias, conservatives and libertarians can’t even functionally communicate on top of a corrupt infrastructure. Youtube, organic search, paid advertising, Email, docs, maps, and more.

And what benefit do you get in return for using Gmail over other providers? Nothing, email can cross communicate. You’re a bitch slave to the empire for free

VM Burner Phones: Complete Guide

Did you know that you can create a virtual machine of a degoogled android on your desktop Linux PC, to create infinite fast burner phones to isolate spyware apps?

WhatsApp, Telegram, CashApp, Hushed Bitcoin SMS, Facebook,

These apps all worked for me on a VM of LineageOS.

Research by Amnesty International and the Intercept have presented significant evidence that apps such as “WhatsApp” by Meta are vulnerable to “0-click” Pegasus malware that can completely take control and do surveillance your phone without you ever even clicking a link. This presents the dangers of trusting many apps that do not take the same security precautions as privacy-focused apps from F-Droid.

However, telling readers of our website to “never install WhatsApp because of corrupt government malware” is usually a non-starter. So instead, we suggest putting known vulnerable spyware in a virtual machine.

Any Linux distro will do.

You have 2 main choices for virtual machine, Oracle Virtbox and QEMU KVM.

And for the phone OS, you want to do LineageOS.

For VMs, we recommend Lineage, and NOT Graphene and NOT Calyx.

Lineage is better suited for VMs because it’s got an x86 build, while as GrapheneOS has ARM builds that won’t work in a VM without a rebuild from source. CalyxOS won’t work in a traditional VM, but you could potentially use an Android Studio Developer Kit to recreate it in a test environment. We do NOT recommend doing this with Calyx as you likely will face technical hurdles with the Android Dev Studio configuration settings, while not getting any clear benefit over just using Lineage. Remember, the reason people want Calyx over Lineage for physical phones is to lock the bootloader. This isn’t relevant for a VM.

Virtual Machines

Let’s compare and contrast the 2 VM choices:

Choice 1) Oracle Virtbox

Pro: Oracle is more convenient and easy to setup. Also it’s easier to have a VPN outside the VM, to prevent IP leaks and manipulate your identity. While as VirtManager QEMU is forcing you to put it on the router, which is not convenient for the average user.

/

Con: Oracle’s Virtbox is open source for the VM itself, but the copy-paste functionality in the extension pack is not open source. Even with that “FOSS sacrifice”, I personally had copy-paste issues setting it up. Also Oracle is a shady company. They got their company’s name from selling database services to the CIA, and they are heavily involved with the US government’s mass surveillance program. Previous CEO and current chairman Larry Ellison criticized Edward Snowden saying essentially “nobody was being wrongfully hurt by the surveillance”.

Choice 2) VirtManager QEMU KVM

Pro: KVM is more private being more fully free and open source. Also this option is more secure. Technically malware will have a harder time escaping KVM (a level 1 hypervisor), but you’re very unlikely to face VM breakout with malware originally designed for phone baseband modems.

/

Con: Harder to setup. Even harder to get copy-paste functionality. And you won’t be able to put a VPN on your desktop, you’ll need an open source router to manage your identity.

Managing Identities

In my personal opinion, VPNs INSIDE the VM phone itself are bullshit and too high risk because these apps all jockey for higher level privileges. I want the VPN OUTSIDE the VM. But I’m sure that the internet has enough people who will disagree to curse me out.

Let’s talk about snapshots real quickly. So while snapshots are convenient, they are NOT good for getting a new identity. If you don’t believe me, try taking a snapshot, installing Hushed and registering an account, and then rewind the clock by restoring from the snapshot. When you reinstall Hushed, you’ll find that it recognizes and remembers you.

Instead, the best way to get a new identity, is through the VM’s storage file. When you first setup Lineage, then save a copy of the file itself (with the same name or it messes up setup) and put it in a different folder. Then when you want a new identity, delete the original file and setup the VM to point to the new location. If you want both identities at the same time, for Oracle you need to modify where the entry your VM manager points to. For KVM, I found it more intuitive to spin up new VMs with different datasets without snapshots.

In summary, if you use Oracle without copy-paste extension pack, you can probably get this up and running in a single day.

Linux → VPN → Oracle Virtbox → Lineage

Or if you hate Oracle, then:

VPN Router → Linux → QEMU VirtManager KVM → Lineage

Un par de golpes para pensar y cerrar el año 😅 https://joantubau.substack.com/p/preferencias-reveladas:

...

"Los precios coordinan la escasez"

...

"Un precio alto incentiva un uso eficiente del recurso, cuando todo está caro ya no consumes sin pensártelo antes."

...

"Los precios son un simple mensajero. El elevado precio de la vivienda, en ausencia de burbujas, nos dice que debemos construir más casas. El político suele cortar la cabeza del pobre emisario, ignorando la señal, para complicar la asignación tomando el control del mercado. Los precios han fluctuado desde el primer intercambio registrado y yo me pregunto: ¿qué tiene de malo que el petróleo esté caro? Un precio solo informa de la escasez. Debemos entonces reducir el consumo o buscar nuevos ofertantes. A corto plazo, la primera opción es la más realista."

...

"¿Estás gastando tu tiempo correctamente? La economía estudia la gestión eficiente de los recursos. De todos ellos, el tiempo es el más escaso. Cualquier viejo millonario se cambiaría sin pensárselo por un joven arruinado. Tienes la obligación moral de invertirlo con gente interesante. La vida es un regalo y si así no lo entiendes desperdiciarás los días en reuniones con personas que conducen un BMW y leen el último libro de Harari."

...

"Todo cambio empieza por el agradecimiento."

...

"Los precios, si sabes interpretarlos, te ayudan a tomar la decisión correcta."

...

"La crisis destapa los precios reales" (¿Argentina?)

...

"El tiempo es oro. Lo desconocemos a los 20, lo rellenamos sin criterio a los 40 y lloramos a los 60. Incapaces de decidir, atrapados en expectativas profesionales, internas y externas, el incremento de los precios es para muchos una bendición."

...

"El dinero no compra la felicidad. Nuestros padres tuvieron menor poder adquisitivo y no por ello fueron menos felices. Las encuestas son constantes: el 30% se declara ‘muy feliz’ y no sube el porcentaje. Una explicación es que somos animales sociales en un juego de suma cero, solo satisfechos si ganamos más que nuestro cuñado. La segunda hipótesis es que una vida más cómoda no es necesariamente una vida mejor."

...

"No puedes huir de tus problemas. Porque no puedes huir de ti mismo."

Como dice el Dr. Daniel López Rosetti, “Somos seres emocionales que razonan”. Un lindo artículo al respecto https://joantubau.substack.com/p/pensar-rapido-pensar-despacio

...

"Decidimos emocionalmente para, después, justificarlo racionalmente."

...

"Los humanos, como producto de la evolución, estamos diseñados para la supervivencia y la reproducción. Todos los programas mentales están configurados para primero sobrevivir y luego reproducirte. Ni felicidad, ni propósito, ni cuentos. Supervivencia y reproducción. Esta es la programación. Cada una de las acciones se procesa desde un cerebro que no describe la realidad, sino que la interpreta, en la optimización de esos objetivos."

...

"No quieres ser indeciso. Tampoco impulsivo. El secreto consiste en responder emocionalmente de forma selectiva, en las situaciones de verdadero riesgo."

...

#emocionalidad #racionalidad #joantubau

La gente feliz no consume https://joantubau.substack.com/p/la-gente-feliz-no-consume, en resumen:

1. Compra experiencias y no bienes materiales

2. Ayuda a los demás

3. Compra pequeños placeres

4. Contrata menos garantías

5. Paga ahora y consume después

6. Piensa en lo que no estás pensando

7. Vigila con las comparaciones

8. La sabiduría de las masas
