Yeah there seems to be a sense of urgency on this issue recently. Odell put out a warning of sorts on the latest episode of RHR.
Yes this is puzzling because afaik there was only one method for dice rolls with a Coldcard and apparently there are two. 🤔
He wasn't suggesting you have to use Coldcard just talking about a feature it has. Besides Foundation copied the Coldcard code & used it to make their own wallet so they are the same, although I would never buy Foundation on principle.
My wallet of choice is the Coldcard paired with Sparrow wallet on my laptop for transactions. I think most decent hardware wallets will allow a passphrase but imo Coldcard is the best.
For a small amount of money a seed phrase is usually be secure enough if you make sure nobody has access to it. For a larger amount you can add a passphrase on top which makes the seedphrase useless if someone has accees to the list of words but not the passphrase. For even larger amounts multi-sig wallets such as 3 of 5 or 5 of 7 work but with the added security comes added complexity.
How long had Coldcard had two dice modes? Is this recent with the new Q version because I only was aware of one mode with 100+ rolls recommended.
Yikes! Turns out Clem, who is French, lives or did live in Ireland. My bad! I was a Mint user for a long time but had no idea about an Ireland connection. I just think of Clem as being from France & Mint as being from the internet!
I recently found him here on Nostr. I follow & listen to loads of podcasts & not one of them posts the same episode 20 times but I guess he's desperate for someone to listen to him. 🤷♂️
The pace of innovation has increased so much from those days then even someone as informed as he was probably can't predict even 25 yrs from now. I'd love to see the changes in 50yrs but I won't be around then
FFs! Stop posting this shit or I'll just unfollow you. Like a goddamn spammer. It's fucking annoying.
Fresh version of Windows user-friendly Zorin OS arrives to tempt the Linux-wary
One of the more widely used Ubuntu spinoffs, non-techie friendly Zorin has put out three editions of its latest version – Zorin OS 17.1 – and there are still more to come.
Zorin OS, like its Irish cousin Linux Mint, is not a distro intended to appeal to existing Linux users. Instead, it targets not-very-technical Windows users. For instance, as the Reg has covered in depth before, Windows 11 won't run on a lot of existing PCs, many of which are still perfectly capable, well-specified kit. We suspect that there are also lots of people who, perfectly understandably, held off from the underwhelming Windows 8 or 8.1. For those still on Windows 7 or 8.x, the free Windows 10 upgrades have ended.
If you have a geriatric PC that, when it was new, ran Windows 7 reasonably well, then today it will run Zorin OS just fine. The fact that Zorin OS 17.1 is still based on the 2022 release of Ubuntu is a distinct advantage, in terms of support for older hardware.
Zorin is definitely not being aimed at the Linux pros or bleeding edge Linux users. This is probably a good thing as we do need more newbie-friendly Linux distros, and this one has been around for a while too, so is quite mature and ready to use.
And we are certainly seeing from the worldwide stats that Linux desktop use is picking up slowly. A 1% increase overall equates to an over 30% increase in actual Linux desktop users.

Linux Mint isn't Irish. Not sure where you got that from. Its creator Clement Lefebvre is French but Mint isn't French or Irish.
I deleted my account before Elon bought it. I used Nitter to checksome accounts after that but Elon has blocked every access to the site apart rom those with accounts so there's no way for me to see anything now. It's a shame but I'm not going back & it's been a couple of years I prefer life with less social media anyway.
Don't remember ever hearing that song before, sounds very dated.
Lol! Using your phone is uneccesasy. How much electricity do you use charging it? How much battery usage is wasted on you scrolling through pointless shit on your phone? What do you do with the phone when you replace it, is it 100% recycled?
I like the word retarded. I also like imbecile, moron, and fuckwit 👍
The Biden administration and its allies throughout the federal government do not actually care about the facts. They are intentionally ignoring them because they get in the way of the ultimate goal; suppress bitcoin and make it as hard as possible for American citizens to leverage the most liberating network humanity has ever come into contact with so that they can usher in a CBDC to usher people into a tightly controlled digital panopticon in the wake of the crumbling of the incumbent monetary and financial systems as well as the loss in confidence in the institution of the federal government itself.

Not going to happen.
