So my Raspberry Pi 5 Raspiblitz Bitcoin/Lightning node finally finished syncing the whole Bitcoin blockchain as well as the Lightning network. And it’s super easy to install what they call apps, but mostly web interfaces. The menu system allows you…
Woke Microsoft is trying to get people to buy new PCs capable of more spying. There was never a good reason to force the hardware requirements of Windows 11 on people, unless they’re just doing so to sell computers on…
Basically, discrimination is towards straight, white, male, conservative, and god fearing; or possessing any of those traits could get you kicked out of the community projects as many are run by extreme leftists who have no tolerance for views other…
This is hilarious. The CIA’s investment firm, In-Q-Tel, invested in the company behind Pokemon Go, and started media hype to get everyone using the app/game to capture Pokemon. But as we learn today, they were manipulating users to go photograph…
The whole Linux kernel maintainer ban has to do with government sanctions imposed on Russia and certain Russian companies and individuals. Consequently, the whole thing is pretty silly as these maintainers were responsible for certain drivers being supported and contributing…
Looks like my days of using Firefox are numbered as Mozilla has gone crazy. It’s classic OCGFC by the way, demand board seats for donations to make sure your money is spent properly, and pervert or bend the organization to…

Back when I was Northern California, I looked into the EZ-Pass RFID chip system as we were driving to the San Francisco Bay a lot to go sailing with a buddy who belonged to a sailing club. The interest for…
I used to watch MKBHD’s videos back when he was still in college to see the new smartphones, but with so many views it didn’t take long for him to sell out and lose all credibility. So I found this…
I came across this project yesterday and decided to give it a try on my Raspberry Pi 5 with 2 TB SSD (my Pi 4 only has a 1 TB SSD and down to 96 GB free). Consequently, I’ve been…
This is a great project mapping out automated license plate reader cameras. This will allow you to map out routes and avoid them. Though, this technology goes way back and is much more insidious than you think. I used to…
Since Broadcom has taken over VMware, they’ve been attempting to gouge corporate customers to the point that AT&T was suing them (I believe they worked out a deal). They’ve adjusted some pricing and trying to address those migrating away, but…
