I've been watching a lot of old TV and movie stuff on YouTube lately. Old comedy routines. Larry David, Seinfeld, Adam Sandler, David Schwimmer, the three stooges... all those lovable Jewish actors. Remembering all of those good times they brought us.

... here at the end of all things ...

... and I'm just so sad that they won't be with us for much longer, that they are getting genocided by the Palestinians ...

... from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free??? ...

... I'm gonna miss those guys and gals, those good times. I'm so misty eyed right now I can hardly see the screen as I type.

GOVERNMENT TRYING TO CLOSE THE EXITS IS A BUY SIGNAL.

STACK IT. SECURE IT. IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS. NOW.

I did a secure communication experiment with a friend a while back. We gathered the public ssh keys of people we wanted in the group, then one of us would spin up a stock OpenBSD vps, add user accounts and ssh keys, and we would ssh in to communicate.

the stock install has enough old school BSD communication software to work.

After chatting and/or exchanging files, we could log off, and destroy the vps.

Then do it again, with a script to automate account and key additions.

I also learned that its possible to zip a Veracrypt container into a .jpg. Just fyi.

didn’t come up with a name for these experiments, but something like Samizdata would do.

There’s a FOSS yubi?

Apparently Google Bard is now beating OpenAI’s GPT4 in many tests.

Just a heads up for those who dont want to pay for GPT4. Google Bard is free.

History is repeating

This time It's bitcoin 🤘

Don’t fight amongst yourselves.

Fight against the system that oppresses you.

My desktop is now locked down with these bad boys.

Sudo commands cannot run without physical confirmation.

Vaccines are the reason why people don't die at 30 now.

Vaccines are the reason why people don't die at 30 now.

If we turned the clock back 50 years, even a low wage fast food employee would be making enough to buy a house and live comfortably. There is no need for “minimum wage” and all the hours people waste arguing about it.

That too is a fiat scam, because in a fixed monetary system, your currency doesn’t lose value.

ALL that changed during this period was inflation. They made the money worthless, but people don’t seem understand that they have and continue to rob us of our purchasing power. A slow rate of inflation is intentional so people don’t notice. But when you zoom out over half a century, it becomes clear that this is the primary way they have impoverished people.

#Bitcoin fixes this.
