Feeling a bit Weimar ish lately. maybe pile into $MSTU even harder. If things REALLY get wild maybe head downtown to the place where you can bugger a goose, slit its throat when you climax, and then they cook it for you.
Heading to #Taiwan in a bit. Any can't miss destinations or pro tips?
Taxes and forever wars probably at the top of my list.
Ahhh yes. I remember what it was like being young and absolutely certain about things.
that's funny. my dad was a Leica guy. left me a bunch of old 35mm stuff. a few nice Angieneux lenses. I sold it all on eBay. I wasn't using it and got tired of carting it around everywhere. The most important things my dad gave me are still with me, but none of it is in boxes.
Every case where the public picks up some rescue is a case where FEMA was unable to. its a PR liability for them, makes them look irresponsible. They're incentivized to showcase their response and prevent anyone else. Our tax dollars at work.
what do you like about OPnsense over pfSense? I've been using pfSense since 2015. whenever I try to upgrade I always end up going back.
Its fun to think that this fine fellow would have had no idea that decades after his death he would live on in this community.
I think there are a lot of people that take it for granted that github isn't a vulnerability. I tend to write it off thinking that the devs would figure something else out when the time comes. Using github definitely doesn't fit with the ethos of "trust minimized"
what machine is this? are you happy with it? I'm overdue for an upgrade.
Tornado Cash? Needed a banking license. Samourai Wallet? Needed a banking license. WhatsApp, Apple, X, probably all need licenses too.
Sounds retarded? Correct. That's why the SEC has proposed a rule to formalize licensing requirements for communication protocols.
In a speech at the annual U.S. Treasury Market Conference, Gensler announced to rule on proposed amendments to the Exchange Act by November, which expand the definition of the term "exchange" to mean "systems that bring together buyers and sellers of securities [...] (i.e. "communication protocols")."
Critics argue the rule may be weaponized to criminally indict software developers given the already hostile environment for crypto- and privacy devs.
If this rule passes, we are fucked beyond comprehension.

To me this comes down to whether we view financial exchanges as an expression of speech or something else. It feels like Bitcoin is a way to tip the scales in favor of financial transactions being recognized as speech which is a really good thing. if we let the government decide they are not speech... well that's a long road to hell.
Was just reading this, in the same vein...

Bruh the US blew those pipelines.

...they didn't shoot the dog. nice of them.
nostr:note137fdccsvmu5hemr2thlzzvs0dthmpgd54srz0lgep9kklmmcf74s6rz00mI like how you need testosterone to pull you from crypto into bitcoin.
Samourai Wallet has been forked. Some brave souls have picked up where Samourai Wallet left off and the fight for privacy lives on.
Excellent work in reigniting this flame in the darkest hour. Running your own Dojo now required.

I guess dojo acts as the coordinator? would this basically be whirlpool without a centralized coordinator then?
The number of times Microsoft thinks I clicked on something with the intention to rename it VS the number of times I actually wanted to rename something is the greatest ratio of all time.
