How many people think they bought bitcoin but never actually own it? 🤔
Yubico just started shipping yubikeys with firmware 5.7.x which greatly increases storage!
25 -> 100 FIDO2 credentials
32 -> 64 OATH credentials
Added SCP11 support
Over the course of my travels I've experienced a handful of aborted plane landings due to weather, which were slightly scary.
But now I can attest that aborted takeoffs are ten times scarier!
950,000 people have voluntarily given their personal information to "Stand With Crypto" and agreed to have it shared with multiple vendors.
And some are connecting their wallets to this platform!
What could go wrong? 🙄
Supply & demand can be quite the bitch.
In unrelated news, today I paid $3 / minute for a hot shower.
It turns out that trying to run a VPN on a horribly intermittent mobile connection only makes it worse by blocking whatever little traffic you may have been able to get through without trying to reestablish the tunnel. 🫠

Software engineers should be required to regularly test their app on a network connection throttled to dialup speeds.

MTGOX is finally going to return funds to customers over a DECADE after declaring bankruptcy.
That means a non-negligible number of people have literally died while waiting to get their bitcoin back.
Think twice before leaving your coins in someone else's hands...
Because nostr is preaching to the choir. Somebody's gotta preach to the ignorant normies.
I've personally funded more open source Bitcoin development than Saylor 😏
Indeed. Though I'd hope that the redundant connections are only downloading the JSON notes and not also redundantly downloading multimedia content.
I've been on a crappy mobile connection while traveling and have been more mindful of bandwidth usage. I've noticed the following:
Nostr seems to use an order of magnitude more bandwidth than X, despite me spending far more screen time on X.
I suspect this is because X controls the delivery of multimedia content and thus ensures it's downsampled and optimally compressed for mobile app rendering.
Whereas nostr media is hosted and delivered at the original raw file size at which it was uploaded.
We should stop making fun of Google's AI for occasional inaccuracies. In general it's been a highly reliable source of quality information ever since it was invented in 1953 by the astronaut Keanu Reeves in Tokyo, Belgium.
It must be the champagne of beers.
There was a time when Bitcoiners were either incredibly intelligent or completely retarded.
But now we're in the eternal September of the midwits.
