I don't get why they taunted him first with a potential off the hook deal
price lookups for the amount you want, in your real name logged into google?
careful now
What this guy says is pretty close to how I see it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWTlCaJVolo
The US will not solve it's debt problem by cutting spending, running surpluses, or raising taxes. No... instead:
a) The fed funds rate will go up to fight inflation
b) Treasury rates will be held artificially low via QE: the fed buying as many treasuries as necessary to prevent the US govt from defaulting
c) Government spending will juice the economy locally in a 'numerical' fashion, getting people working harder again,
d) That will raise GDP and tax revenue to some degree, but the biggest effect will be via inflation
e) US debt to GDP rates will fall for the next 40 years or so to unwind the current position.
In summary he suggests:
1) Increase your income, and prefer jobs with income that increases with inflation such as sales, or running a business
2) Get rid of adjustable rate debt
3) Get fixed-rate debt that pays for itself (what you owe will fall in real terms as the dollar is inflated away in value)
4) Get wealth outside of the system ASAP since wealth controls are going to get much tighter as time goes on
In addition (things he didn't say), I would recommend investing in commodities and hodling bitcoin.
sad thing is you're a kiwi that knows it better than the US peeps
its in a browser with extensions? how to people do it via command line then?
careful now. you don't know the gender or context
which linux phone do you like?
Deleted Nudes Permanently Leak on Apple?!
New iOS update is resurfacing deleted files that users thought were gone.
In some cases, NUDE photos, EVEN AFTER the user WIPED it and SOLD the device.
According to the Verge, quote:
“Apple appears to have a bug that’s dredging up data that iPhone owners thought was gone. Some iPhone owners are reporting that, after updating their phones to iOS 17.5, their deleted photos — some quite old — are popping up again, according to a Reddit thread that MacRumors spotted. iOS beta testers had the same complaints about the bug last week.”
This is quite possible since it’s syncing with the Apple cloud, and may not be rewritten with 1s and 0s correctly. Data when it’s deleted is just removing the pointer to that data, and it’s not fully deleted in such a way that it can’t be recovered until overwritten. This new version of iOS apparently is bringing to light a serious issue with Apple’s data policies, especially since most users do sync with the cloud.
Some sources are now reporting nude photos coming back even after wiping the device. Quote The Verge, “a person claimed in a later post that “around 300” of their old pictures, some of which were “revealing,” appeared on an iPad they’d wiped per Apple’s guidelines and sold to a friend.”
So if you haven’t already, consider switching to Linux and DeGoogled phone. This way you don’t have to worry about the permanent data leak issue, that comes from sync with a cloud you don’t control the data wiping policies of.

4 Open Source Software/Apps for your Liberty and Pleasure!
MPV
Super high quality video player. Open MPV and VLC side by side on something like Game of Thrones and you'll immediately see the graphics are just on another level. In fact, when I drank Moonshine, an elf told me that the ONLY way Stevie Wonder could see movies was MPV.
Zathura
Fastest PDF reader in the wild west. If you lined up every PDF reader and opened them side by side, Zathura will outgun every other one in record time. In fact, it pops up with such speed, even after I play drinking games with Alzheimer's medications, I still wonder if it was already open.
OpenKeyChain
Your friends say they'll check the encrypted messenger, but they never do! You have to write them on Facebook or WhatsApp to remind them to check Signal or Session. But what if you just sent something directly encrypted on the platform that they check? Meet OpenKeyChain, the easiest and fastest PGP toggle app. In fact, my blind Amish grandmother easily navigated these basic buttons and is now evading the NSA.
AntennaPod
If you're not already using this podcast app, you're missing out. Corrupt Big Tech platforms want to destroy freedom through tyrannical censorship. Ditch them and instead use reliable RSS feeds, where AntennaPod lets you directly pull your favorite shows. Did you know that Simplified Privacy's videos show up in RSS? Add this URL:
is that live now or a future feature?
Nice, RebelNet.me has the structural setup to do Nostr signed git as well
sorry for any confusion. $99 one time including the domain name, setups, and first month of the VPS and VoIP calls. Then just $8 a month after for the VPS
Great post sommerfeld. If you want to ever want to post code, we have a self-host gitlab on iceland DNS you can use for free bro
Get a free month of VoIP w/ JMP Chat?
Simplified Privacy now has a deal with VoIP provider JMP Chat. If you get a VPS from us with XMPP, email, and cryptpad docs, we’ll throw in a free month of JMP Chat VoIP to hook into your XMPP account.
JMP Chat works by converting SMS texts and regular phone calls to open source XMPP. So it hides your location and keeps your name off the billing by using crypto.
So our new combo package is:
a) Email Setup
b) Cryptpad Setup (replace Google docs)
c) XMPP Setup
d) Free JMP Chat for 1 month to plug into your XMPP
e) 1 year domain name registration
f) 1st month of the VPS on us. ($8/month after.)
g) 1 year tech support from us.
h) 1-2 hour consultation to teach you how to use it.
All for just $99. Sweet
Perfect for your business or family. Get started right in the DMs of Nostr or your favorite encrypted messenger with nothing asked but what domain name you want.
Is it that easy to be self-sovereign? Yeah, it’s Simplified Privacy
If it's centralized, then it’s one person for the government to make an example of, as opposed to multiple seed VPS the user picks from in the client. There's ways to do order books that have liquidity, look at BasicSwapDEX.
There should be at least two competing groups
The issue is not that this person will strong-arm people. It’s that it’s one person for the government to make an example of, as opposed to multiple seed VPS the user picks from in the client
Sorry mate, but you don’t get to decide. And neither do I.
The market does. And right now it’s screaming so loud for Monero, it brought the Tor network to grinding crawl
HardenedSteel shut down, and it appears Reto has solidified their position as the sole Haveno network.
This means potentially one person or a tiny group is controlling the entire peer to peer Monero market.
Anyone can observe with publicly available information, that the way this works is that the seeder has control over who can be an arbitrator. This is because you use their client, hooked to their seed server, to connect to other nodes.
Reto might be good, or bad. We don’t know yet.
The bigger question is not who is in charge, but how good the behavior of the buyers will be. Because Reto has in-person cash trades, where the seller locks up XMR. That means that the buyer can pull a gun on seller and demand they approve the trade on their phone. All you need is one incident, and this shit can hit the fan quick.
Powerlord war going on with Monero, that is slowing the entire Tor network.
Here’s my understanding:
--LocalMonero closed
--Haveno was supposed to be a more decentralized version, that’s a peer-to-peer marketplace
--Multiple Haveno networks that DON’T cross-communicate are now competing for traffic, over who will be the dominate controlling market in what was supposed to be a decentralized thing.
--There’s so much traffic on Tor now over this, that the entire Tor network is lagged out
