Since this is a global push and coordinated around the world, what’s happening in Brazil gives some insight in what they’d like to do elsewhere. Brazil’s virtual patrol rule also lets police pull connection data with no warrant. By…
Good update on what’s going on in Bitcoin and the BIP-110 fork. I switched my Bitcoin nodes back to Bitcoin Knots 29.3 pre BIP-110 on the legacy chain after the soft fork stalled out and it was clear the miners…
If you want to break free from search that tracks you and is forcing AI on you, try SearXNG, a privacy proxy for search that allows you to control what search engines you pull information from. It’s an opensource project,…
