It would seem someone is spinning up a bunch of Bitcoin Core 27 nodes to try and keep the percentage of Bitcoin Knots BIP-110 nodes from gaining a higher percentage. Who fears this and has the resources to do it?…
An interesting analysis of a paper covering an earlier version of Monero that was a bit too chatty between nodes on Tor, though already corrected in the latest version. And worth noting, compile your own node. I download the source…
And remember that all the big tech platforms are moving to you not being able to install software on your devices unless the developer is in their developer program with the proper signing key. It’s one part extortion for money,…
And you know a lot of other pharmaceutical poisons are in the water in other locations that use treated sewer water. I have a post about water quality and filtration with a good water picture option. And at the very…

The Windows 10 that was supposed to last forever debacle pushed many people to Linux. Throw in the complete tracking of people on Windows 11 with their GDID along with Apple and their ID system, and people concerned with privacy…
The changing face of warfare, as cheaper munitions produced in bulk take over from the more expensive systems of decades past. And as the drones evolve, so do the countermeasures. Unmanned systems of all types have firmly taken center…
