I sometimes play with the idea to quit my average life in Europe and move to El Salvador and look for something to start there 🥹

Am I the only one?

What’s the first word that comes to mind when you see this ? ❄️

10 Quick Tips to become Invisible

1. Avoid VPNs that don’t accept cryptocurrency, but remember they see your home IP. So it's not anonymous without Tor or it's alternatives

2. Avoid Big Tech, but if you have to, then use the LibRedirect browser extension and/or Farside.link service to use Tor or LibreWolf without JavaScript

3. If a website blocks you, try Vanilla Firefox with your VPN set to Port 443 TCP. Modify Firefox to reduce telemetry by setting "block dangerous and deceptive content" and "provide search suggestions" both to off

4. Linux isn’t as hard as you think. You don't need the command line.

5. Keep passwords in offline storage, such as KeePass. Then keep that in VeraCrypt

6. Wear a Bitcoin logo shirt at local public events, then get the info of people who approach you, so you can buy/sell for in-person cash

7. Avoid SMS, but if you have to, then use VoIP and never the number of the SIM card you get service from, to hide your physical location

8. Avoid email, but if you have to, then go for open source software you control.

It's not as hard as people make it out to be.

9. If a friend refuses to use privacy tech (such as Signal/Session), instead of cursing them out, increase the value your friendship offers, to make it worth it to install a new app

10. Be aware that Cloudflare sees ALL content on their network, including passwords.

Check DNS record tools (such as bgp.tools) or Ombrello to see if the site uses them:

Consider sharing this so freedom doesn't die

$2.75 for my delicious shrimp & cheese, and two bean & cheese pupusas for dinner last night. Eating the leftovers for breakfast this morning. I couldn’t eat at a gas station in the US for that price.

Time to stop being a lazy fucker and sharpen those knives.

Traveling west is always way easier for me. More than 3 hours east always messes me up. I do fine with 5-6hrs heading west.

Roman nurseries in Alicante (Spain). They are more than 2000 years old and still usable, which means that the sea level has not risen for shit in the last 2000 years.

Climate change is about taxes and lies.

Uggghhh. I hope the jet lag doesn’t get me going back.

Ngl the 6 hour time difference between El Salvador and Hawaii is rough. I can’t sleep!

Taxes should be voluntary, but if you don't pay them then you get zero access to public services and you also don't get to vote.

Some people will choose this and that's fine. Everyone should have a right to opt out, but it goes both ways.

If you want to participate in civilization then you must contribute to civilization. No freeloaders.

Lost my money license in a boating accident

On this day 68 years ago, Rosa Parks got on a bus, sat down where she wasn't allowed to sit, and told the State to go fuck itself.

#Bitcoin  argument with a friend that couldn't understand how I could trust a system when I don't know who created it.

I told him: that's the point. I don't have to know, I just have to look at the math behind.

He said: yea but what if that person secretly controls the system and changes the math.

I said he can't because we all independently run our own version of the math.

He said yea but still what if the founder has some sort of secret trick.

I despair.

Is this really such a hard concept to grasp?

From the perspective of regular Bitcoin users, ordinal transactions are inefficient, space wise. They use more block space than they could get away with because of the extra data.

But to get those transactions into blocks, senders have to outbid other transactions. That is, the transactions are still efficient, fee wise.

There’s no need to ban them. Either the extra data has enough value to justify the fees, or they don’t.
