One minute you’re young and wild, the next you’re buying ramekins

IDK why but something says this Wagner thing might be a head fake. To be clear I have no sources, no evidence and I am not claiming anything. It is just a feeling. It could be a very modern Trojan Horse of some kind.

Never use shred on a modern system. It is always ineffective, and in the case of SSDs can damage them (not just wear, but fills the disk to the max).

If you don't mind an attacker knowing how much free space you have, ideally you should also enable discards in luksOpen (check out the persistent setting) and mount.

There are only two outcomes of the Wagner Rebellion in Russia.

1. Putin puts it down and becomes even more powerful and entrenched and his popularity grows even more.

2. The military flips on him, some new leader is installed, the US celebrates but in a few weeks/months the new guy will be "even worse then Putin" on ever news station.

Option two will bring huge instability to the region and is actually more dangerous. While my opinion certainly isn't popular it is true. Wait and see.

What is happening in Russia?

But find a better guide. This one will damage your SSD

What does Prigozhin want?

The mercenary boss is in a power struggle with the Russian Ministry of Defense. The order was recently issued that all voluntary organizations, including mercenary troops, in Russia should be contractually bound to the Ministry of Defense by the end of June in order to put their existence on a legal footing. #Prigozhin does not want to sign because, in his eyes, it would mean submission. Now Prigozhin has probably made the decision to take action against the military.

I can only zap the notes of rebels 🏴‍☠️

Oh he just gone walk about mate. He will come back

Glass half full please

I’d take this a step further for the homies and remind them there’s nothing wrong with being able to live privately. it’s wrong for govt/big tech to monitor literal everything. here are some examples from my own life:

- don’t share your phone number for reward points at coffee shops, grocery stores, etc

- when someone calls and asks “Hi am I speaking to $name”, immediately ask who is calling before providing any information. if it’s sensitive information ask for their name and call back on the company’s publicly listed number

- no Alexa, ring cams, etc on your property

- leave the cell phone at home every once in a while

- use a unique email address per service

- pay cash

- do not install apps like facebook, instagram, etc on your phone

- browse the web without being logged in, block tracking, default no script

Let us have a moment of silence for our Damus using Nostriches that updated and lost the ability to Zap notes today. 🫂😭

(They can still Zap profiles on Damus and of course via other clients.)

PSA: Owning large amounts of BTC does not give you the power to change the rules of the Bitcoin protocol, because Bitcoin is not proof of stake like fiat or Ethereum.

Few people seem to realize this

Also change the SSH host keys as they are preconfigured (the same) on all downloads on some ARM devices and it goes without saying change the root passphrase.

I am working on my PhD in the study of religion.

I want to get it done ASAP so that I can explore this idea of bitcoin as a religion. Needing some motivation.

The weekend 🌴☀️

The playback had stalled on the clip, as the #zap bolt spun on her beta Amethyst instance. Spinning monotonously, like her memories surfacing resurfacing disjointed voices laughter giggles, the face -- him -- a chance glimpse that she would have missed as the clip panned the crowd
