Btw! My girlfriend bought me the art of not being governed, because I told her about your keynote 💪🏻
Wow, that is amazing. Enjoy it!
Very cool!
Much appreciated
There are apps that you can use to interact with it that are open source. Actually quite a few.
By your logic, you couldn't use Nostr because there exist non open source Nostr clients.
Deep breathing with exhale longer than inhale works (activates the vagus nerve).
What were your top 3 things you learned at #39c3? Talks or otherwise.
Me:
- how meshcore routing works (and I built a MeshCore node at hardware hacking area)
- that there will be a fight against AI, “fascism,” and there will be more censorship
- a bit about how the Chinese firewall works
- I got a tropic square raspberry shield at CDC! They did a pretty cool badge with tropic square, eink, etc.
But honestly, I’m a bit disappointed that I didn’t feel any truly revolutionary idea, or something that really surprised me and enriched me. (I am not talking about meeting many amazing people, friends and new friends). So I want to fix that afterwards through crowdsourcing.
What was cool?
What's a problem with Meredith? The talk was great and she works for a non profit.
She should have shilled signal more.
And there's Nostr, where no one cares if you are a billionaire or not.
GM!

Thank you for interesting 10 minutes. :)
Hamburg síce okolo nejaký je, ale na hranici horizontu udalostí tejto čiernej diery sa flipne čas a priestor a ťahá ťa to do stredu kongresu a nedá sa ísť iným smerom.
This is beautiful

Yes. I think if someone follows you it propagates to the other side.
I like my safe distance from Fediverse, but it's nice to sometimes get a peek
Make it trending on Nostr too!
Any Nostriches going to #39c3?
How is it ending anonymity?
Why don't you like EU age control?
Collecting data for an article.
How it went:
Hackers: We'll help the states to regulate the evil megacorporations
How it should have gone:
Hackers: We'll build protocols that are so good that no one wants the evil megacorporations' products and we'll make the states obsolete.
This is a statist mindset. For us who believe in Declaration of independence of cyberspace, this looks very different. European union overreached to the sovereign extra-territory of the internet and sanctioning all the gangsters that put their nose where it does not belong is fun.
State sanctioning gangsters of other states is very nice popcorn level.
No, European regulators have no authority regulating anything on the internet and if they try, we will go around it.
They should fight, sanction each other and be generally unpleasant towards each other. Waiting and enjoying the reaction.
Bitcoin and Nostr were made to realize this independence, an infinite space for the free mind.

Original post on the bird app by Arnaud Bertrand that I react to above:
This is a huge escalation. For the first time ever the US started sanctioning former senior EU officials, namely former European Commissioner Thierry Breton.
If anyone doubted there was a Euro-US split going on, this is yet another hostile action by the US that makes it loud and clear.
The official reason is, as expected, completely Orwellian. They sanction Breton because of his involvement in the Digital Services Act (DSA), which they claim was "extraterritorial legislation" even though it was designed to regulate content on European soil, viewed by European users.
You can perfectly disagree with the DSA for plenty of reasons. But the fact is that it was policing content shown in Europe to Europeans (wherever the content may have come from).
What the Americans are doing here however - sanctioning former EU officials for drafting EU legislation in Europe aimed at Europeans - is textbook extraterritoriality. Hence the "Orwellian" nature of this move by the US: accusing others of precisely what you're doing yourself.
Americans say this is all about "free speech", a narrative which a frightening amount of people seem to believe. When the truth is the exact opposite: this move is about ensuring American tech platforms remain the unchallenged gatekeepers of Europe's information space, free from any oversight by Europeans themselves.
And, case in point, the very fact that so many people believe this "free speech" narrative is proof in and of itself of just how effective these platforms are at shaping narratives.
For the record I'm not arguing in the least that the DSA was a good piece of legislation or that Thierry Breton is some sort of tragic hero here. What I am arguing in favor of, as I consistently do, is sovereignty. I heavily dislike the EU in its present form precisely because they systematically kowtow to the US at the expense of European interests.
That's a logical error I see way too many people make: they hate the EU for the same reasons I do and then cheer hostile actions by the US because, hey, who doesn't like to see an institution one hates under attack? But that's completely incoherent: you can't cheer the master punishing the servant if your complaint was the servitude in the first place....
Now it'll be interesting to see how the EU responds. If one cares about European sovereignty, this is not a precedent that can go unanswered, otherwise it's a very slippery slope: every time Europe passes legislation the US dislikes, the officials responsible can expect to be sanctioned.
If the EU doesn't do anything to respond forcefully it's an institutional message they send to all their rank and file: "don't do anything to anger the Americans because we won't have your back."
Sadly, I wouldn't hold my breath. The most we're likely to get is a strongly worded statement, and even that would be surprising. Which is precisely the problem: those who despise the EU for bending the knee to Washington are probably about to watch them bend the knee once more. There's nothing to applaud here.
I think you can't even say, because 5G uses many frequencies, so the question is - what kind of 5G?
What would be cool is if your phone allowed you to choose which frequencies are you willing to talk on.
Because the access point has to be closer in mmWave. The distance is not up to scale in the simulation.
nostr:npub1ethjfqkqfwu6hsavdlxayu68uzf2v0wrwfqhzptpsft8gcxt2npsxwt6n9 and nostr:npub1j0ht2m9jgs6mccyvkffd2dlnfusmqfx9mjlwg6fsmfwxm9rfuwdq40w6rf
No, I did not say that. I've only said they mmWave are usually closer to you and do beamforming, but mmWave is not used much outside of very concentrated areas.
BTW 5G often uses the same frequencies as 4G, they mainly added the 3.5GHz, most of the other frequencies are rarely used (where I'm at at least). 3.5 is between two wifi (2.4 and 5GHz).
It was very possible. Putin could have chosen not to invade.
It's quite strange how many complicated stories you have to invent to justify mass murder.
When the soldiers stay home, there's no war. When the border is respected, there's no war.
This war was entirely Putin's making. He gave the order.
What peace talks? There was no war.
Putin always said that he won't tolerate a free country to associate with whoever they want? And NATO is warmonger? I think the one that does not tolerate a free country to do whatever fuck they want on their territory and bombs it instead is a warmonger. Maybe the word means to you something else than to me.
Should you keep WiFi access point as far as possible, or is your intuition about non-ionizing radiation completely wrong?
How is invading Ukraine keeping the serial killer out? If anything, it's more likely he'll attack.
And why didn't they attack? Russia is now weak, attacking them would be easiest now.
I think it's more likely that this story is total bullshit. A story made up to justify murder, even though they were not attacked.
So tldr: was someone bombing Moscow? No. Then it's not important what was going on in Putin's head to justify whatever story he made to bomb Kyiv.
Inappropriate response of this type is not even terrorism, I would call it war crime.
Proportionality is important. Don't talk yourself into justifying actions of psycho murderers.
There was no credible threat of violence.
The response is not proportional to the threat.
Parroting "justifications" does not change the simple fact that it's Putin that attacked.
If I walk in front of your fence (not on your property) with a scary rock, it does not justify you shooting me and bombing my home, whatever story you made about the rock and what I might do with it.
With violence, the key is proportionality of response to threat. Invading a foreign country because they talk to someone is very disproportionate.
Push war? Which soldier crossed the border? West-ukrainian soldier went to Russia? Or did Russian soldiers cross the border to Ukraine?
Does Putin push peace by bombing residential buildings?
Peace is quite simple - Putin takes his soldiers back to wherever they came from and poof, magic, there's peace!
I've heard someone even claim that Putin is very humanitarian in his bombing.
It's quite simple - NATO did not threaten Russia with violence, let alone invade. The boots of Russian soldiers crossed the border. So it is very clear who is the attacker. Talking yourself out of this simple fact leads to cognitive dissonance.
People shouldn't learn whatever you consider important. A farmer saving in BTC should not waste time learning to audit psbts, it will literally give them zero value. They should use whatever open source hw wallet, ideally one that will keep stablecoins as well (no coldcard, it also isn't FOSS). He makes steaks and milk and people who are interested and good in computer security make wallets.
No reason for a farmer to make DIY wallets either.
I see this tendency often that people should learn whatever someone considers important. The beauty of Bitcoin is you can go as deep as you want. If people get self custody and non KYC, they're already much better off than most people and that's good enough. Now go make the 🥩.
