This is a pretty good video giving a real overview of Linux distributions. My only quibble is recommending Bazzite for an immutable distro that relies on Flatpaks. I hate Flatpaks and Snaps with a passion, Flatpaks being promoted by IBM/Red…
This is kind of funny, in that The Hated One misses the biggest problem with Signal, which explains his problems with it, metadata collection. They’re identifying you by phone number or payment, as it was always about tracking connections between…
Since I’ve moved to Paul Lamb’s Bitcoin Knots version based on Bitcoin Core 31.2, I was finally able to switch to the latest version of Electrs v0.12.0, and boy is the new indexing server noticeably faster. If unaware, there are…
The sad state of reporting in the world. I was a Boost Mobile customer for years with a cheap $15/mo phone plan as they were primarily a MVNO, Mobile Virtual Network Operator, or reseller. But just before I left they…
Certainly worth the billions in investment and rushing more data centers. In all, WaPo took a look at 3,000 AI-generated voting guides, which frequently shared false voting information that usually traced back to other AI-generated websites. In other words, the…
Buying a Raspberry Pi going forward looks pretty unreasonable. I have a couple Raspberry Pi 5’s which I’m using for a Bitcoin SHA256 and Bitcoin BLACKE2B node, which work better with more processing power, but also more of a power…
Paul Lamb has started a new version of Knots bringing in the Knots patches into version 31 of Bitcoin Core, for those continuing with Bitcoin SHA256 nodes who don’t want to run Bitcoin Core from the traitor developers who blew…
The moral of the story is if you are blessed with significant cryptocurrency wealth in self-custody , keep it a secret, and make sure you have a solid setup to secure it. I’d say multisig with wallets stashed at different…
Rossman seems to be getting people to forward malfeasance documentation to him, so I had to resubscribe. I had dropped him because he was too profane, but he’s putting out some good content. And this shows Flock is a bad…
This reminds me of Wells Fargo where they had crazy quotas on agents who were signing customers up for extra accounts behind their back. So, if you used an Apple Store to get a phone, you might check your account…
An interesting opinion piece, and I’ve always preferred opensource, only using Windows in the past for gaming and because it came with the computer, but no more after they’ve gone full spyware and AI slop. And Apple’s locked down operating…
I once had a Reddit account, but it’s kind of a toxic platform dominated by liberals, voice anything conservative and you get downvoted into oblivion. So I deleted my account. I do look at it on occasion for tech issues…
