NEWS: The U.S. Government is currently planning to award @Tesla a $400 million contract to buy armored Teslas.

The State Department's most recent procurement forecast, updated in December 2024, names Tesla as the recipient of the largest projected contract. The anticipated award date is 9/30/2025, with a 5 year contract length.

Nah the coding languages keep changing, things become quickly outdated & need either updating or just solid workarounds because screw updating. Also everyone's guides are like docker docker docker & without docker 🤗. Fools don't even know weve been building this shit for years without using docker. Then last theres discovery of a faster & mote effective route people recommend x y z the industry uses x you look up & find y then your makeshift of half written guides makes you fringe on trying to get z to work. Then last A appears a method you didn't even know existed or just miraculiously discovered with your own brain a quicker better method which reduces load times by 90%

Gamer w brainstorming ideas

If you ever get a group of devs together lmk I want in on influencing the idea. I always thought of a idle game which would looke like a beeper & if you coulf earn sats in it awesome.

If you distrust open-source, independent security-audited password managers, you can still use them to generate long, unique, high-entropy passwords. The risk of using low-entropy passwords that you can remember is a far greater risk for most people.

A 10-character password with mixed characters provides only about 26 bits of entropy, which can be cracked in seconds.

In contrast, even just a 12-character password with proper character mixing can achieve 78 bits of entropy, requiring decades to crack even with specialized hardware.

It's not just reused low-entropy passwords being sold on the dark web with the rest of your information that is a threat. With quantum computing just around the corner, the necessity for unique, high-entropy passwords is critical for information security.

People act precious about sharing email addresses, as if we don't already have battle-tested solutions like disposable emails/anonymous email aliases.

Practice good OPSEC. Using easily generated, disposable emails and long, unique passwords—through tools like SimpleLogin and a password manager like ProtonPass or BitWarden—is far more secure than carelessly plugging your one and only NSEC into random alpha/beta/stable apps that haven't passed a single independent security audit.

Using event signers like Amber or extensions like nos2x is better, as it reduces your dependency on 3rd party app security, but all the key/event signers we have have never been subjected to or passed an independent security audit.

Just because something's built on or compatible with Nostr doesn't make it secure, and just because someone is an outstanding developer does not make them a security professional. 99% of app developers are unqualified to audit their own apps—that's why proper security audits cost ~$15K+ and require a team of dedicated specialists.

The reality is: if you your nsec gets doxxed, everything attached to it is doxxed—period. There's no fallback, no way to keep your account and just change compromised login info. This is even more critical for businesses on Nostr and those outsourcing social media management—incompetent/disgruntled ex-employees are a very real threat.

Myself and many others have said time and time again: we need a parent/child key system—with the ability to generate, pause, and deactivate child keys—to match the basic privacy and security that we already have with disposable emails and lengthy unique passwords. The clock is ticking.

If cholesterol is so bad for you, then why does your liver produce more of it when you don't eat enough of it?

default transparency isnt "choosing what to reveal"

As long as you can buy Bitcoin, or any other crypto you can swap into Monero.

Monero isn't on many Cexs unfortunately.

If you're in The U.S. you can get it with Kraken.

But I recommend checking kycnot.me for places to buy it.

Did Bitcoin get a privacy update?

Last time I checked everything was shown on a public blockchain.

Might want to check out Monero with view keys bud.
