A sneaky way of shutting down forums and driving activity to the major tech platforms for surveillance and policing, destroying free speech online. And after the crackdowns on online comments, people are self-censoring on those platforms already. You’d have to…
(Headline article at bottom) As we’ve had supposedly accidental undersea cable cuts around Europe, the timing of this announcement is suspicious. You’d have to think they’re grooming the public for internet outages and cable disruptions. And this would go along…
Today it’s pirate sites, but what will it be tomorrow? An easy way around this is to run your own DNS servers with Unbound that go out to the authoritative DNS server for that domain recursively. This gives you security…
An interesting new project from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, but this one paragraph caught my interest as it implied some legislative requirements forthcoming, at least to begin with in the UK. With the move to have Windows and macOS lockdown…
You think it’s bad now, wait until they implement their Central Bank Digital Currency, where they’ll use stupid AI systems to limit what you can do with your own money, and good luck getting someone to review faulty decisions. And…
The end of the W900 being new from the factory. The switch is to the more modern W990 (at right) and W880 models. This is the end of an era, and transition to a new one. Even Peterbilt is moving…

The pressure for revenue strikes all megacorps. We’re still using an old 4K box Roku made back in the 2010’s. Consequently, I haven’t seen these advertisements on ours, but then I’ve disabled some domains in my Pi-Hole DNS/Unbound servers that…
Roger Ver is more like Bitcoin Judas, as he tried to hijack Bitcoin which spun off Bitcoin Cash as the majority of the Bitcoin community rejected his takeover attempt. If you held Bitcoin when this happened, you were able to…
You’d have to assume Telegram is compromised, and perhaps always was. I have a post that has a detailed review with two telling things, no source code for server side, and choosing their own cryptographic solution instead of tried and…
At least Bitcoin is deflationary, so it would make money for our broke government over time. And It’s not a lot of money to be invested, $80 billion, as there are bigger ETF flows at present. But as the OCGFC…
An interesting law passed by the legislature in Kentucky protects your right to self-custody of your Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. It’s possible that legislation could be passed to where you’re only allowed to have custodial wallets managed by a third…
