Right? Who the hell is leaving their phone unlocked?? My phone automatically locks after 30sec of no activity, and you either need my fingerprint, or my ridiculously complicated password to get back in. And if you try rebooting, only my password can open it. Additionally, I have all my sensitive apps (all financial, social media, settings, bitcoin stuff, and email) configured with individual app locks. I'm not playing.

It's always good to get these guys off the street, but I don't know how I feel about some rando setting people up for social media clout. Because that's what this is really about. It's just a vehicle to get more exposure and more engagement, which leads to more money. Generally, I don't like self-appointed vigilantes, and it's worse when they're capitalizing on a real problem for the sake of clout. I dunno, it just rubs me the wrong way.

I just starred it and followed you on GitHub!

Sounds like a great idea! Have you been working on it for a long time?

Is that a project you're working on?

They probably get it from njump.me

That site has a bug that prevents it from properly updating profile data, and it's also the most common provider of profile information to client apps.

I use nosta.me which looks amazing, and always has up to date data.

Additionally, I use metadata.nostr.com to update my profile and to create backups. If your profile ever gets fucked up, you can swiftly restore a backup to restore it in one click.

Yeah, for real. I'm not doing that shit.

A panhandler that accepts lightning is definitely a professional. He's not letting any opportunities pass him by!

Why does this random homeless guy have a lightning wallet?

RSA 2048 is supposed to be secure until 2030. RSA 4096 is supposed to be secure until 2100. I'm not sure about AES-256, but I'd expect it to remain secure until at least 2050. But that's not considering quantum computing. It's based on the anticipated progression of conventional computers. Quantum changes the landscape entirely.

You can buy a vintage 1980 Pac-Man arcade game just like the one in this pic for about $3700.

That's why I think they should run some practical tests on it. See what it can do with our modern crypto algorithms. Because if it can break AES-256, it can break the blockchain. And that's terrifying. These real-world tests should be run, and the public should be informed as to their capabilities.

I'm not sure what, exactly, that means, but if it's capable of breaking encryption, I consider it a threat. And even if this Google computer isn't eventually sold to other companies and people, it's a safe bet others won't be far behind. Including foreign actors. If this technology breaks encryption, and is released into the wild, it's a threat to us all.

I've been reading about this Google quantum computer, and how its unreal performance proves the existence of the multiverse. Apparently, it solved a particular math problem in 5 minutes, compared with the 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years it would take our fastest supercomputer to solve the same problem.

That's shockingly good performance. What I'd like to see now are some real-world applications. What does it look like when this quantum computer is tasked with mining Bitcoin? How long does it take to break AES-256?

These real-world tests would allow people to relate better than some abstract math problem. And I think it would light a fire under cryptographers, and motivate them to develop new quantum-resistant cyphers which will be absolutely essential if this sort of quantum processing is going to be the future of computing. Because right now, we're not prepared. #bitcoin

No, the sense of unity came from such a shocking attack on the nation. I was in Manhattan that day, and witnessed firsthand the collective shell-shock, and desperate searching for something normal and familiar to latch onto. And when we reached out, we found another American just like us who was experiencing and feeling the same thing. Then came the anger, the resolve, and the strength we felt when we stood together in defiance. Notions of conspiracy theories and other nonsense had nothing to do with it.

I didn't mean my comment as a criticism of you. This was just the 3rd or 4th unprovoked left vs right post I had seen today, and it's something that's been bothering me for a while. It's so counterproductive and destructive to the collective discourse.

I don't know if you were around for 9/11, but one of the few good things to come from it was this sense of national unity that swept across the country in the days and weeks that followed. For that brief time, left and right didn't exist. We felt a closeness and solidarity that felt so good even when the focal point was something so horrible.

We lost that connection somewhere along the way, when it was us against the world, and we were all ready to fight on behalf of each other. I want to get back to that sense of unity. And posts like these are just a reminder of how far we've fallen.

Yeah, once you install GrapheneOS, you are its bitch. Oh, you were gonna watch something on Hulu? Lol no. We gotta do a system update right now.

The problem with all this constant left vs right nonsense is that drives unnecessary division. And that's exactly what the political class wants. Because as long as the rhetoric is left vs right, it's not the people vs the political and corporate class. It's just manufactured distraction from what really matters. Ask yourself, what are they trying distract us from and why when they're pitting us against each other?
