I’m not sure who would use this over the opensource git package, but if you do, you probably want to turn off Microsoft’s telemetry. Unless you want to help Microsoft train its AI with your activity. Opt-out instructions included…
The whole purpose of a mixing service it to give you financial privacy on a public blockchain, as it breaks the tracking of transactions to a point you might have been identified. And there is a compelling reason for this,…
For one, these politicians and tech megacorps don’t care about children as they’re all for murdering babies in the womb, and mutilating them for gender dysphoria. And I’d bet they would support a measure like in the Netherlands where you…
Banks are the absolute worst, as they’re still fighting you getting rewards for holding stablecoins, while they don’t pay you much interest for your bank account when they lend out 90% of your money making good returns. As stablecoins are…
Some of the responses to the X announcement were brutal, but deserved. And count me in for never running unpatched Bitcoin Core ever again, as I’m running the BIP-110 patched version of Bitcoin Knots, itself a patched version of Bitcoin…

Nice analysis of the age verification movement and how many Linux distributions are going to bend the knee. And like Sam Bent, I’m thinking of Artix Linux as well to replace my Endeavor OS installs as they don’t use systemd…
They were keeping the data for one year, now adjusted to 30 days unless there is a warrant. And the biggest thing, they never have many quality examples of it actually helping catch criminals. And there is always good old-fashioned…
A good reason to avoid all these biometric KYC methods, as these entities aren’t trustworthy to keep your biometric data safe, even sharing it and making it more vulnerable. And it can’t be changed later after a hack. The…
This is even starting to happen here in Cheyenne, with the city council annexing more and more land, harassing a local farmstand with prime property near a lot of hotels and a large apartment complex… In the county just outside…
