I've been off nostr for a bit... What's going on here 🤣

Elon has:

- satelites that provide internet but its easy to add spy hardware on top

- millions of spy devices on the road; each with 8 always on cameras

- plans to implant chips in peoples brain

- contracts with us gov to send spy satelites to space

- bought Twitter and uses it to spread bs

- wants to turn X into a financial super app

- ties with Peter Thiel

This is definitely not good.

Good afternoon.

The Bitcoin conference currently has a lot of political theater, and the Trump headliner is front and center much to everyone’s joy or frustration depending on where you stand on that, but I’ll take a moment to highlight something that’ll get lost in the shuffle.

Today on the main stage, Jason Maier (author A Progressive’s Case for Bitcoin) interviewed progressive congressman Rho Khanna. They talked about a lot of stuff but the TLDR headline takeaway statement from Khanna was “Bitcoin is about freedom. Bitcoin is about human rights.”

And around the same time, a bunch of Democrat Congress people sent a letter to the DNC chair saying the party needs to embrace this industry better, and basically that the Warren wing of the party isn’t the way to go here anymore. Whether it’s polling data, sheer numbers about how many Americans own this stuff, or more knowledge conversations about bitcoin’s energy impact and other things, being anti-bitcoin is a losing strategy.

Yes, a lot of this will be forgotten after the election, both from Republicans and Democrats. Politicians gonna politic. And there will be shitcoinery. Politicians are currently in their pandering phase. But when I began writing about this industry nearly seven years ago, I would not have expected to see this much explicit support by 2024.

The builders, the educators, the advocates- all of your work does matter. At least when it comes to protecting Americans and others against some of the most potentially hostile government positions, the narrative war is working. We need more work on the right to privacy, and that imo is the harder battle, but given how successful things have been on other fronts, I think that front is workable too.

Immutable money. Unstoppable voice. Endless memes.

Thats even worse. Speaks volumes about his moral compass. I mean he seriously believes that there is only scamming left as an opportunity?? What a stupid populist BS.

Me: pays for a music subscription service

Also me: listens to the same free 8 hour track on YouTube for months now

🤦‍♂️

The split layout is the best feature. The way my arms rest when typing feels so much more natural because I can adjust the distance between the two halves.

Layers are the hardest to get into. 😆 The Glove80 doesn't force me to use them, though. I was not brave enough to go fully minimalist 😬. It basically is a full sized keyboard. Only the numpad is missing. Right now I use layers only for keys I need to control my window manager.

Oh awesome. I've got a Glove80 some weeks ago. Trained for 30 minutes a day until I felt that I can completely switch to it as my daily driver. It's harder to adjust to that kind of keyboard than I expected. Still not as fast as I was with my normal keyboard though.

This was a very civil bar fight.

Wow, he looks great for his age!

Switching is handled transparently. If Syncthing detects known peers in the local network it'll connect locally only, and avoid public internet altogether.

Heads up if using the testing / unstable version of Debian, Ubuntu, NixOS or other Linux OS based on these, there is malicious code in the latest xz package: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/29/4

>The malicious injection present in the xz versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1

>Luckily xz 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 have not yet widely been integrated by linux distributions, and where they have, mostly in pre-release versions.

Running stable versions are fine:

₿ xz --version

xz (XZ Utils) 5.4.1

liblzma 5.4.1

Things will get more interesting as the author of the malicious code has even more suspicious PRs for libarchive:

https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/pull/1609

He replaced safe printf calls with unsafe versions. We as devs must be more vigilant when we accept PRs and add new dependencies.

but it was clear from the beginning that fees must rise to sustain the network on the long run.

Why are the beginning and the end cut off? Why is it so hard to give credit to the original author? The irony is that this behavior isn't much different from what the video criticizes. But the message is important.

For those that are interested, here's the original: https://youtu.be/Wnl9RWOvRY4

Yes of course 😬 Doesn't mean that they can't be specialized for AI more though.

I can run quite a few models on gpt4all on my dated amd64 system without any problem. Everything above 7B is a problem though.

Can't wait until all processors include ai accelerators. Holding if until next year building my new rig.

No you have to disable it manually. At least for me it was activated by default.

Thats why the likes of Google never really put up a fight with the ad blocking industry. It's only lately that they try to be more strict about blocking ads.

I've asked where this is ad coming from in a follow up question. This ad placed not by OpenAI, but from the plug-in vendor. Doesn't make it less annoying though.

I guess it was bound to happen. I've just prompted the *paid* version of ChatGPT for something with the WebRequests plugin activated. I got an ad the at the end of the response...

Yes, that's what I've been using. The release version on GitHub was lacking behind the official website the whole time. Now it's updated. 👍👍

Yeah, these could be good together. Instead of the name above it could say boosted by X y and x others.
