 Who doesn't love a good homemade Tahini.

Toasted sesame seeds, avocado oil (I prefer the neutral oil but olive oil works as well), salt, and a food processor is all you need. I tossed some garlic into this batch as well.

Holy crapstacks that was annoying. Fixed it. Pip was broken somehow.  it kept thowing a conflict with the openssl/pyopenssl versions I had installed. Nuked and resinatlled pip, upgrade the conflicting packages, reinstall certbot. Finaly renewed the cert I need..


Ill take a closer look at it.


What more is needed than : "penis butter, stick it in your mouth and swallow. Its the tasty treat that everyone can enjoy"


Aaah ok ok. I used esxi at my old job a lot


Today was supposed to be a maintenance day for web clients but it seems like nothing needs done on that end so of course something else needed to break 😅


Oh shit! Mabey I could. Gonna try that. I just need a cert for one fekken domain to renew.


Ive seen talk about proxmox a lot. Its like docker yeah? Just a container system?


Certbot on my node is fucking up and wont let me renew due to some python error. Ive tried a mess of things and I think at this point I need to nuke and pave.

Minorly annoying becasue this effect a mess of my own upstream services. Like zaps and such.


What does the ideal realy offer. #asknostr


Lmao. Or just call it a painful lesson. They can afford it.


It depends on your client. You can add sticker packs in amethyst that let you do that.

I don't think people should be locked in to shitty #propritary #IoT devices. I feel that people should have the option to choose #OpenSource #hardware and #software.

And I'm not just talking about it, I just my money where my mouth is! For example, tonight's project was to extend #FOSS that collects temperature, humidity and other environmantal sensor measurements to send the data to a server of your choice in a format that is easier to use.

https://github.com/Scrin/RuuviBridge/pull/13

Here's the kicker: I didn't even know the programming language it was written in before tonight. Still, I got it done. Now the consumers of this data do not require any parsing; they can juat use the measurements directly. It's tested and verified to work correctly. It's backward compatible. I have submitted my changes upstream.

When to comes to letting people do what they want with their #technology, and helping #decentralize things... I don't fuck around.

Oh, and the sensors that are used here, they're open source software AND HARDWARE. The collection takes place on a raspberry pi and go to HomeAssistant or whatever home automation software you want to use.

Boost this shit. Spread the word that you can still have nice things without centralized, corportate solutions like Google Nest and crap like it. We can have nice things and not pay with out privacy.

yeah I probably could have phrased that a little bit better because a phone tree is ultimately really dumb.  it doesn't know how to handle unexpected inputs other than asking you to repeat things over and over again 😂


Big same.  I just wanted to ask a living, breathing, employee a question about a product before I made an 80 min round trip.


I find it extremely ironic as somebody who absolutely loves technology, that something like a simple phone tree can be so infuriating


All good questions. And TLDR who knows. It could be a speculator playing the arbitrage between markets, it could be someone who mined before ASICs, it could even be feds, who the fuck knows. Thats kinda the point with a DEX IMO. Thats why you also take care to coinjoin the Sats you get from these markets before spending or storage just in case.


Your still ruggable.

I use nextcloud for a lot of shit but its still a pain in the ass.


Transfering phones has remined me just how much bullshit we collect on our phones. Its asinine. Contatcs, chat backups, app databases.

Absolutly. Things like coinjoin only give you forward looking privacy if your coming from a KYC exchange.

KYC is a permanent record of buying BTC. The price you pay for "cheaper" bitcoin is giving your identity over to potentially adversarial actors.

 If bitcoin really is freedom money and if we really are out here to subvert the FIAT system there might be a point where your door will be knocked on by government goons because you bought Bitcoin on a regulated exchange where you handed over your personal information.

Everyone has their own risk tollerence but Im here assuming that things will get worse before it gets better.


Yeah I really like the "sit down have a beer / coffee wait a block and hand cash over" method.

It depends on how you are running your node. If its bitcoind its in your /home/username/.bitcoin file. Core gui has a button to open it.

If you using umbril youll need to ssh into it and check umbrils data folder for it.


Heck yeah. I was kinda doing the same thing....then I found this a while ago.

Ive been on the fuck swan train for a few years now. Props to getting off of them 🤙


Eh. Depends on your needs. They are both good options for a degoogled phone. But they handle google play apps very differently from what I understand.

Calyx has a modified version of the gapps package allowing you to use paystore and google stuff much more smoothly if you need to. Graphine uses a sandboxing method and does not have any version of Gapps in the OS making it much more private but can make using play store apps a bit harder.

 this is just off the top of my head so i could be missing some nuance but this is my understanding of the main differences between the operating systems


I don't have a facepalm epic enough for this fail. If swan wasn't dead it is now.

I've eaten it a few times now it really is good. We did crostini's with this cheese for a wine tasting a few days back and it was really good. Ive also eaten it plain.


For more context its a French cheese. Creamy with a barnyard finish and dispite the smell its actually a cow cheese.

Wallet of Satoshi is the gmail of LN wallets: "I've got nothing to hide, read my emails Google employee" turns into "its only for small amounts, you can rug pull me, censor my transactions and spy on me, it's fine"


I've found a few servers that gossip won't talk to because the crypto is weak (no strong ciphersuites). After a lot of reading I've decided this isn't something I'm going to change. Gossip will continue to use strong modern crypto only. I suspect a lot of subtle bugs in SSL may have been inspired by government actors craftily sabotaging the standards process so that they could MitM or decrypt the streams.

A Cypherpunk's Manifesto
Eric Hughes
March 9, 1993
---------------------

Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.

If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of their interaction. Each party can speak about their own memory of this; how could anyone prevent it? One could pass laws against it, but the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all. If many parties speak together in the same forum, each can speak to all the others and aggregate together knowledge about individuals and other parties. The power of electronic communications has enabled such group speech, and it will not go away merely because we might want it to.

Since we desire privacy, we must ensure that each party to a transaction have knowledge only of that which is directly necessary for that transaction. Since any information can be spoken of, we must ensure that we reveal as little as possible. In most cases personal identity is not salient. When I purchase a magazine at a store and hand cash to the clerk, there is no need to know who I am. When I ask my electronic mail provider to send and receive messages, my provider need not know to whom I am speaking or what I am saying or what others are saying to me; my provider only need know how to get the message there and how much I owe them in fees. When my identity is revealed by the underlying mechanism of the transaction, I have no privacy. I cannot here selectively reveal myself; I must always reveal myself.

Therefore, privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction systems. Until now, cash has been the primary such system. An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy.

Privacy in an open society also requires cryptography. If I say something, I want it heard only by those for whom I intend it. If the content of my speech is available to the world, I have no privacy. To encrypt is to indicate the desire for privacy, and to encrypt with weak cryptography is to indicate not too much desire for privacy. Furthermore, to reveal one's identity with assurance when the default is anonymity requires the cryptographic signature.

We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak. To try to prevent their speech is to fight against the realities of information. Information does not just want to be free, it longs to be free. Information expands to fill the available storage space. Information is Rumor's younger, stronger cousin; Information is fleeter of foot, has more eyes, knows more, and understands less than Rumor.

We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.

We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money.

Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down.

Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is fundamentally a private act. The act of encryption, in fact, removes information from the public realm. Even laws against cryptography reach only so far as a nation's border and the arm of its violence. Cryptography will ineluctably spread over the whole globe, and with it the anonymous transactions systems that it makes possible.

For privacy to be widespread it must be part of a social contract. People must come and together deploy these systems for the common good. Privacy only extends so far as the cooperation of one's fellows in society. We the Cypherpunks seek your questions and your concerns and hope we may engage you so that we do not deceive ourselves. We will not, however, be moved out of our course because some may disagree with our goals.

The Cypherpunks are actively engaged in making the networks safer for privacy. Let us proceed together apace.

Onward.

Well said. And true.


If you are running core bitcoin you can easily read Satoshi's first message directly out of the blockchain. The famous "The Times 03/Jan/2009..."

New alpha release of #bija just dropped :)

Installation instructions for Linux are available in the link below.

Feedback, bug reports, pull requests, and suggestions all welcomed.

Enjoy!

https://github.com/BrightonBTC/bija/releases/tag/v0.0.8-alpha


It's been some time in the making, but our latest major release, SeedSigner v0.6.0, dropped last night and it's a monster...

https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1628174326712213506/pu/vid/1920x1080/3DrwLqn8iZmNDTOn.mp4

This release has been ~8 months in the making and includes work from more contributors than any other previous release.

0.6.0's marquee feature is SeedSigner OS, that includes a custom Linux kernel created using Buildroot (https://buildroot.org).

(big kudos to #[0] & #[1] for all of their work on this amazing leap forward for our project!)

SeedSigner OS's key features include:

. Remove microSD after start-up
. Networking/BT/swap/usb removed from kernel
. Deployment image is ~100x smaller
. Build from scratch with minimal commands

Other new features in 0.6.0 include:

. Receive/change address explorer
. BIP-85 deterministic seed derivation
. p2tr (taproot) signing
. Compact SeedQR enabled by default
. MicroSD removal & reinsertion notification
. Keeper coordinator option
. Various UI tweaks & minor bugfixes

SeedSigner OS may also open the door for some interesting new features down the road, possibly including reproducible builds, PSBT transfer via MicroSD, and others... 🤞

Many of us are also very excited about #[2] ’s work on NIP-26 delegated signing using SeedSigner — many of the improvements to our current feature set will serve to enhance that functionality if/when it is introduced.

If you are receiving value from SeedSigner, or just appreciate the importance of the things we’re working on, please consider zapping this note. This Nostr profile is configured to route lightning payments to our development fund, the proceeds from which are distributed to our contributors:

Btw, I’ll be making an announcement soon on our next disbursement from the development fund for our contributors, stay tuned.

In the meantime, a big thank you to ALL of our contributors -- SeedSigner is an amazing FOSS tool that's been built for, and by, the bitcoin community.

BIG🧡 to all of you!

KYC Bitcoin: Individuals are on Lists

-----------------------------

What is KYC/AML?
	•	The acronym stands for Know Your Customer / Anti Money Laundering.
	•	In practice it stands for the surveillance measures companies are often compelled to take against their customers by financial regulators.
	•	Methods differ but often include: Passport Scans, Driver License Uploads, Social Security Numbers, Home Address, Phone Number, Face Scans.
	•	Bitcoin companies will also store all withdrawal and deposit addresses which can then be used to track bitcoin transactions on the bitcoin block chain.
	•	This data is then stored and shared. Regulations often require companies to hold this information for a set number of years but in practice users should assume this data will be held indefinitely. Data is often stored insecurely, which results in frequent hacks and leaks.
	•	KYC/AML data collection puts all honest users at risk of theft, extortion, and persecution while being ineffective at stopping crime. Criminals often use counterfeit, bought, or stolen credentials to get around the requirements. Criminals can buy "verified" accounts for as little as $200.

During the early days of bitcoin most services did not require this sensitive user data, but as adoption increased so did the surveillance measures. At this point, most large bitcoin companies are collecting and storing massive lists of bitcoiners, our sensitive personal information, and our transaction history.

Lists of Bitcoiners

KYC/AML policies are a direct attack on bitcoiners. Lists of bitcoiners and our transaction history will inevitably be used against us.

Once you are on a list with your bitcoin transaction history that record will always exist. Generally speaking, tracking bitcoin is based on probability analysis of ownership change. Surveillance firms use various heuristics to determine if you are sending bitcoin to yourself or if ownership is actually changing hands.  You can obtain better privacy going forward by using collaborative transactions such as coinjoin to break this probability analysis.

Fortunately, you can buy bitcoin without providing intimate personal information. Tools such as peach, hodlhodl, robosats, and bisq help; mining is also a solid option: anyone can plug a miner into power and internet and earn bitcoin by mining privately.

You can also earn bitcoin by providing goods and/or services that can be purchased with bitcoin. Long term, circular economies will mitigate this threat: most people will not buy bitcoin - they will earn bitcoin - most people will not sell bitcoin - they will spend bitcoin.

There is no such thing as KYC or No KYC bitcoin, there are bitcoiners on lists and those that are not on lists. 🤙

They don’t even have User IDs. It’s great. A new product so they’re still building features out.
