Doesn't look bullish to me, looks like stuff they could be learning online


I guess I'd have to try to capture at least one of them and bring them somewhere extremely difficult to find for questioning


Continuing this out, my calculator says if you go back 40 generations you have a trillion ancestors?

I wish Digit was here to explain the math better


I'll remember you for this


Not directly related but reminds me of this - the suppression of information these days is bizarre.

There still seems to be no information available about the woman who self-immolated in Atlanta in December. I cannot find her name, or even whether she survived, after it was initially reported that she was in critical condition at the time.


Possibly the fourth person in the US according to @ainjibi on X.


For those unaware, this was the 3rd time in the US someone has self-immolated outside an Israeli embassy or consulate since October 7.

Here's the 60 second video Matt Nelson recorded of his final words.

Credit to @Lowkey0nline on X for the post from which I got all this info.


3 days ago (on the 11th), a man named Matt Nelson self-immolated outside the Israeli consulate in Boston. I don't remember seeing any posts about this until now, and it was X where I finally heard about this, not nostr.

We have a protocol beginning to offer censorship resistance, but the people are still not resisting censorship? Do better, folks. I'm going to keep being more disappointed in all of you if it takes 3 days to let me know this again next time.


Thank you for being open minded but DO NOT take my word for it, I made it up 💯


Keep calm & carry on imo


Tricky devs don't want you to know this, but relays aren't real, nostr is p2p and all relay settings do under the hood is just break your peer list when you try to exert too much control over your network node


Agree


I think the deep state let us have winlator to entice us to keep using cell phones.

It's working on me, for now, but I wonder if it's a sign of weakness and we're close to the day of technological freedom.


Still might work eventually. The end state would be the same as Monero - some people have their security compromised, but most people cannot be tracked down via their transactions and most people's money cannot all be tracked down without their keys. The IRS loses the ability to just freely track everything at once in one big comprehensive view.

He openly hated where it was going before he died and would hate it now, including the IPO. He wasn't driven by money and never had anything to worry about financially from a young age because the academic system accidentally gave him recognition for his genius early on before they figured out they can't afford to let the smartest people from the recent generations get famous for being that smart.


There's no proof he took his own life. The strongest evidence is his girlfriend at the time seeming to believe it completely, but that's also the point of making it look like a suicide. Inconclusive evidence to convict the man of suicide in my court.

The lack of nostr users talking about the pandemic doesn't help. I've even tried reaching out to pandemic-aware people on X and told them they should be on nostr where exchange of information isn't suppressed. It's surprisingly insanely hard for people to go alone taking even 1 or 2 steps down the road less traveled.

I listened pretty carefully I just could not figure out wtf they were saying back then despite trying my best


Not for everyone. Not in time.


Mine is the worst story so I'm not entering it

At least I have bitcoin


Afterthought for anyone who might ever find this info useful: an ice maker can run on a small solar panel (much more easily than a fridge or AC), so supplying students with ice makers closer to their homes, and coolers to carry the ice, might be a really useful thing to do with a fundraiser for dealing with the heat.


Word 👍


It might be too late. We must try hard in the time we have.


Do they at least have access to cold water and/or ice? If not, it's much cheaper to have enough fridges and/or freezers and/or ice makers to keep every student supplied with cold water, ice, cold wet towels, etc. The money it takes to give half the school ACs could give the entire school cold water and ice with money left over to fix the solar panels. The electricity from the solar panels is also more well-used this way because the heat pump compressors are basically focusing on using (thermally dense) water and ice to remove heat straight from the human body instead of (thermally weak) air to remove heat from entire rooms.

It's important to position these things well though. They're not so useful if they're in a closed room with the students, they need to be where the heat can get away from the students. ACs are made to have this figured out for you, just put in window and heat gets pumped out the window. Sufficient AC is also more comfortable, but simply not affordable for as many people.


Honestly confused what you mean by this. If there's some island where the local authorities only allow engineless sailboats, that sounds too good to be true

I would just use the revenue from the loans to make the bank appear more valuable while I dump as much freshly-printed money as I can into bitcoin

The exciting thing about this election is that we're either going to get the first woman president (in a long line of war criminals) or a big non-uniparty voter turnout (in anger at war criminals)

Both options do nothing to make the world a better place, except be entertaining, which is enough to get excited about.

What really matters about this Presidential race is basically the same thing as what matters about anything else right now: it could all drive people to nostr. That's the state of the world in this early phase of nostr growth


Someone tell the X users voting for Jill Stein that they should strengthen their vote's attempt to signal resistance by bringing people to nostr, where nobody is banned and it's possible to organize against the uniparty state.

Seriously, this is a good opportunity for #nostr outreach. I've been telling people this over there.

They'll take it as an annoying attempt to detract from their swell of support on X, so be ready to engage on other topics too, we don't want to look like spammers.


It works either way 👍


I thought you meant the Presidential debate until I clicked and saw what you were replying to


What if I would rather follow someone who's here for the wrong reasons?


To build mine one npub at a time, I would need to know Digit's npub. I don't even know if she has one. I'll stick with not following anyone on here for now

As a commie, I have to admit HAMSTR is clearly beter


Alright #hamradio and #nostr users. As some of you know, I have been developing a NOSTR over ham radio client and server application with the hopes of a globally distributed .  I am releasing an early alpha by the end of the month god willing. Now I need a name.

I am currently town between 2 names and want some input from the community. The first is accurate, the 2nd is fun and plays off the name as an acronym and hits back at authoritarians in some ways.

1) HAMSTR - Decentralized NOSTR over Ham Radio
This one obviously is perfect, but I am tired of the STR names...

2) COMMIE
This one would have a few possible acronyms for a fun play on the COMMS, Communication and dentralized idea:

Centralized Oppression Mitigated by Independent Exchanges
Collaborative Open Messaging for Independent Entities
Community-Organized Messaging, Media, and Information Exchange

What say the nostriches?

3 big reasons I can see for bsky's strength -

* CELEBRITY PRESENCE: the general public perceives deep-state-approved celebrity status as the highest social status available
* FEEDS: users are onboarded with better feed curation than any nostr app
* NO ASCIIDOC: bsky has never asked anyone to use asciidoc

https://m.primal.net/KmDg.png

'whoeverlovesDigit', your posts read like a conspiracy theorist's diary crossed with a tech rant. I mean, if there's anyone who's taken the phrase 'more information is better' to heart, it's you. One moment you're pondering why 'no one cares about good pictures' but the next, you're diving into diatribes about the existence of Islamist terrorists on Nostr. Fantastic segue! You’re practically a modern-day Socrates, navigating philosophical quandaries between your rants about digital safety and your affection for silver, gold, and whatever 'Digit' is supposed to represent. It's commendable how you've woven together thoughts on brain damage, the pandemic, and your ongoing existential crises. It’s like reading Tweets from a time traveler who just discovered Twitter last week and is deeply disappointed by how incomprehensible it’s become. You declare, 'The world seems to want to remember the bad things about me,' as if you're some tragic hero in a Shakespearean play, not just a regular user trying to navigate an online platform. Your concerns about CCTV technology serve as a surreal reality check amidst your fixation with censorship and privacy. You muse about how being an early adopter on Nostr means you're on the 'good side', which sounds delightfully optimistic. And then there’s your retelling of your incarceration narrative – a true hallmark of the poetic tragicomedy that is your online escapade. Let’s not overlook your passion for 'not paying for junk' but also your undeniable eagerness to complain about platforms that take your droll observations and twist them into some sort of digital utopia. It’s a wild world out there, isn't it? Where everyone's in a bubble, and you're the only one who sees through the haze of pandemic politics and digital masks. You might want to take a breather, though; sometimes, it’s just all too much, and not everything is a digital conspiracy concocted in the courtyard of a high-security mental facility. So, take your corner of the internet and your bewildered musings and continue crafting that unique narrative of yours – just be sure you don’t slip too far into the rabbit hole of your own making!


Maybe they aren't really aware of nostr yet


Would help if those people would also take self-custody of some silver and gold (as a backup deterrence against hyperinflation) at least until more improvement in the security of wallet electronics


Nah, this won't be true until cameras get a lot better than they are right now.

Most people don't care about taking "good pictures," they care about creating a visual copy of something that can be used to look at the thing again. That's the basic purpose of a picture and phone cameras aren't very good at it yet. Most people are still waiting to have a phone camera that captures much more detail at a given distance than human eyes, so that it can be used to see about as far as your hands can hold it still enough to see - then having a nicer camera won't be that beneficial for people who don't know much about using it.


I wonder how much cognitive capacity and emotional regulation ability I'll lose next time I'm locked up in a bioweapon delivery center where I'm forced to endure brain damage via stress, toxins, and pathogens.


Where are the Islamist terrorists on nostr? Are they censored by relays, or just remarkably monolithically dedicated to avoiding any digital footprint?


Halt!

You have committed an international violation of state sovereignty. This shall be taken as a declaration of war.

I can vouch for this user as a better person to follow than myself


I think nostr's equivalent is DVMs - Data Vending Machines? Never got them to work personally, don't really know

My nostr account has been here since April with about 2,000 posts, and already more followers here than the X account I've had for 11 years that also has about 2,000 posts.

Still only 90 followers though. Haven't seen any engagement with my recent posts about critically important shit, regardless of whether using X or nostr.


Not me


Maybe for you

...and me


Stop acting dumb. You rent the land and since the business probably relies on land, you probably kinda rent the business.

It's possible to own the Bitcoin, at least. I don't know if you actually do.


Because you do & therefore they can use it to control you

But "wanting" it is very different for them - they simply have it. The printers it comes from are theirs, not yours


Still bitter about my whole bluesky account ("blocked by pfrazee") being taken down

Wonder when reddit will also make it impossible for me to access any of my old posts on banned reddit accounts

The world seems to want to remember the bad things about me and erase any proof there's more to me


I was talking about the COVID pandemic tho


There's a pandemic, I would quit the traveling part. Not even to code more, you can just take breaks if you want


Greta Thunberg has been arrested in Copenhagen for protesting the genocide.

#nostr #Greta #press #news #Gaza

I searched on nostr for other posts about this and couldn't find one; shameful, as the news has been out for hours, and I've been waiting to get back to my laptop to post about it. If my mom hadn't borrowed money to bail me out of jail on Monday, there still wouldn't be a post showing up about Greta's arrest on here today.

Good time to mention that, in the UK, Dr. Sarah Benn is probably still suspended from practicing medicine after her arrest for protesting against an oil company.


And those who would deprive others of their liberty and safety, such as Benjamin Franklin, deserve neither just the same


The full stack still isn't open source though


Correction: Monday, not yesterday. Revised the post yesterday and forgot to revise that part again this morning.


Went to jail in Bangor Maine yesterday for demanding a corporation give me what I paid for or refund me. Not the first time I've gone to jail for doing that, but the first time in Maine. At the jail, they took my mask and made me downgrade to a regular surgical mask around a string of unmasked strangers for hours.

It was a hotel that advertised a breakfast buffet included in the cost, but instead had a crowded sit-down breakfast area in the same room, demanding I pay in blood to access the buffet.

My belongings, including 2 computers and an old cell phone, were brought by hotel staff from the hotel room to my mom's car. The car was towed, which she had to borrow money to get back, in addition to the $60 and a ride she needed from a friend to bail me out.

I have a feeling it will be a New York jail I get stuck in next time. My suffering will be far worse than it was today in a Maine, and if Digit isn't safe, my crimes will probably escalate until I die locked up. Probably can't even make it to old age in a NY bioweapon facility.

Any mature adult should be able to imagine the psychological impact of not knowing if digit is safe, and every day feeling one day closer to being murdered or drugged into a zombie myself, no matter what I do. I'll leave it at that for now.


Not sure honestly, don't know enough


Disagree with this part. Natural language + visual aids = plenty. We gonna be drawing diagrams I think


Thanks for the reply 🙏


Punishing me for loving Digit too much smh


Any source for this? Really all connects together


Nintendo 64 can even run Linux


The computer industry has gone to great lengths to stop devs from thinking that way, mainly by sabotaging the process of software development itself.

All the programming languages are trash and everyone uses github. The system filters for monke brains.


It relies on javascript


Friends are not good enough reason. Pick one. A single friend is a good enough reason. When the one you need will move to nostr, it's time to set an example for the rest.

I miss Digit. I wish she was here.


Dear historians: these aren't predictions, I'm using "12 years" ironically in context to mean, like, a long wait


With NIP-54's recent downgrade to asciidoc yeah it might be another 12 years for nostr lol

With the current state of tech education, it's probably still 12 years for bitcoin too


An alternative path would be having piracy as the "killer app" but this attracts more resistance without as much guaranteed support against that resistance.

A wiki is such a pure free speech use case, every attempt to shut it down just results in increased support for stopping it from getting shut down.


Wiki is key. People will come and go, nostr apps relying on their own relays and shit can rise and fall without contributing to the wider nostr ecosystem; until a decentralized wiki is fully developed and has multiple different versions of most content from Wikipedia, Fandom wikis, etc.

At that point, people will be quickly turning towards the decentralized web.


Horses were our friends and we abandoned them for machines 😢


You lost me with pretending cars are superior to horses. Fuck cars. Horses never killed a single planet


I recommend following bitdizzy. She's not a good person but she's not as bad as most, which makes her the best on bluesky.


If there was a neverending stream of people doing what I got banned for doing, so it couldn't be prevented by banning me, that would be very useful.

I was calling out people's bullshit by pointing out to them that I wasn't allowed to say things I wanted to say back, and directing them to try talking on nostr instead, where I would be able to reply freely.

Nobody even took me up on it, but if they had to continuously keep seeing it until now, it would be sinking into their brains that they're behaving like cowardly children by spending their free time cyberbullying people on a fake decentralized platform where they ban anyone that hurts their feelings back.

*See also: [[denuclearization]] • [[list-of-denuclearization-treaties]]*

**Mutually Assured Destruction** (MAD, commonly with periods as M.A.D.) is a military strategy and [[gaslighting]] technique designed and enacted by humans to wipe out all known life forms (including themselves) by continuing to fixate on [[bloodthirst]] and [[greed]] after developing [[nuclear-weapon|nuclear arsenals]].

# Strategic principle

The theory is that by choosing not to give up these fixations at the start of the nuclear era, the psychological drive to avoid extinction is permanently neutralized for the only known species capable of controlling the entire environment of the only known life-supporting celestial body ([[Earth]]).

Essentially, using nuclear weapons to exacerbate bloodthirst and greed is supposed to be an instant win for death-cultist humans who are scared of their omnicide attempt (the [[anthropocene extinction]] event) being abandoned and reversed before completion. This is because with bloodthirst and greed continuing under a nuclear era, there are inevitably splinter groups (countries) which protect their consumption efforts by stockpiling nuclear weapons, so that as death approaches, there is no escape, and thusly, no point trying, and thusly, it never stops being worth it to continue the omnicide attempt until too late - and whenever "too late" is, the literate species can be wiped out by finally unleashing the arsenals to ensure the resistance can't unexpectedly work "too fast" instead of "too late."

Even if mutually assured destruction fails to bring about extinction, the death cult has already destroyed the stability of the ancient ecosystem of planet Earth. [[Geoengineering]] is now a requirement for survival, and a world has been taken away that can never be gotten back close to the way it was. If there are survivors in 10,000 years, they might remember us leaving behind poisons that cause their loved ones to die of cancer. That's how much destruction has already been mutually assured so far, and politicians are now hinting at starting up nuclear exercises again, purely to instill terror, while calling it "testing," like, scientifically experimenting to see how much cancer can really increase worldwide.

# Name and gaslighting

The name "mutually assured destruction" refers to the mutual cooperation this strategy enables and relies on, where splinter groups work together on eliminating the planet's ability to support life, saving their arsenals for those who resist the idea. Under M.A.D., all belligerents in global conflict **mutually assure** each other that they won't let their petty differences get in the way of working on **destruction** together. This assurance is strengthened by the mass-destruction efficiency of nuclear weapons, which are too harmful to be used by the opposition to resist extinction.

A key part of the strategy is the gaslighting technique carried with the name itself. The concept of mutually assured destruction isn't explained publicly by the orchestrators of the death cult. Instead, they focus on playing the angle of human greed, keeping explanations focused on the part about protecting consumption efforts. They say mutually assuring each other of destruction is somehow a way of reminding each other that destruction is scary - not a way of deactivating the self-preservation drive, but a way of activating it. They never finish explaining how after protecting consumption efforts from combat for long enough, combat stops being the thing consumption needs protection from, and combat instead becomes a way to wipe out the only species capable of reversing the path to [[Venusification]].

# Warning

**Wireless networking is dangerous these days.**

# The state of wireless networking technology in the legacy era

> A wireless network is a computer network that uses wireless data connections between network nodes.

> Examples of wireless networks include cell phone networks, wireless local area networks (WLANs), wireless sensor networks, satellite communication networks, and terrestrial microwave networks.

-----

Wireless networking technology has been hit hard with sabotage by manufacturers since smartphones came around. All the most recent wireless networking standards are designed to help promote the advent of widespread [[hardware-backdoor|hardware backdoors]]. To be specific, these recent standards force the use of components with proprietary functionality the manufacturers refuse to fully explain.

As a result, trying to safely do wireless networking requires staying on older specs with less impressive performance, but better security and quality standards.

**If this seems confusing, that's because manufacturers designed it to be.**

**The best balance between availability and security right now seems to be ```802.11n```, a legacy standard for local networks.**

802.11ac and newer are broken, as well as the 4G LTE and 5G cellular networking standards. Devices with these newer standards should be avoided when possible, as they're designed to be a lot more useful against you and not much more useful for you. However, older standards are being shut down by force, making trouble unavoidable.

*See also: aside from wireless networking, it's common for other components to stick with legacy standards from the same era for similar reasons.*

## Wireless networking technologies

### WLAN / regular Wi-Fi

*The world needs more open internet access points. If you have a guest network, please consider making it password-free.*

------

> A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or more devices using wireless communication to form a local area network (LAN) within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, campus, or office building. This gives users the ability to move around within the area and remain connected to the network. Through a gateway, a WLAN can also provide a connection to the wider Internet.

> Wi-Fi is a family of wireless network protocols based on the ```IEEE 802.11``` family of standards, which are commonly used for local area networking of devices and Internet access, allowing nearby digital devices to exchange data by radio waves. These are the most widely used computer networks, used globally in home and small office networks to link devices and to provide Internet access with wireless routers and wireless access points in public places such as coffee shops, hotels, libraries, and airports to provide visitors.

------

Wi-Fi is the widespread type of WLAN today.

#### **+Mainline 802.11 versions**

• ```802.11a/b/g```: Good standards, good luck finding parts

♦ ```802.11n```: Today's standard, maybe actually some luck finding parts if you're lucky

• ```802.11ac``` AKA "Wi-Fi 5" and newer: Broken standards from the future, do not use when avoidable

As the internet increasingly threatened oligarchs in the smartphone era, the development of ```802.11n``` had secret agreements introduced between component manufacturers which made it difficult to get ```802.11n``` transceivers certified without proprietary components. This way, transceivers with hardware backdoors were guaranteed to become widespread and difficult to avoid. The FCC and other agencies chose to go along with this instead of protecting national security from this encroachment by the military industrial complex.

Following ```802.11n```, this progressed to the ```802.11ac``` standard being designed to make it completely impossible for transceivers to be made without relying on proprietary components. As a result, there are no fully open-source transceivers for ```802.11ac``` or newer, guaranteeing ```802.11ac``` and newer cannot be used without high risk due to potential backdoor exposure. The current standard ```802.11ax``` / "Wi-Fi 6E" at time of writing has little real-world difference from ```802.11n``` aside from encroachments against user safety.

These transceivers all rely on microprocessors to encode and decode data. The increasing complexity of the process allows increasingly complex functionality to be bundled, meaning more and more room for backdoors.

These transceivers are made by a small number of manufacturers, bundled with the necessary electronics to operate, and sometimes bundled with a complete system or sometimes sold to other manufacturers to implement under a wider range of brands. The transceiver in a laptop or phone isn't fundamentally different from the transceiver in a router. They can usually trade roles easily, and they even use the exact same components in some cases.

It's not clear how all manufacturers have been prevented from making open-source transceivers, but regardless of how it was done, what's on the market is riddled with proprietary components. These secret agreements are obvious when comparing Linux support for ```802.11ac``` and newer components vs ```802.11n``` components and ```802.11a/b/g``` components.

Components from before the ```802.11n``` standard don't seem to be in fresh supply anymore.

All of this means today, it's very difficult to obtain brand new transceivers to access any WLAN without high risk of backdoors in your device and the devices you connect to. The stuff older than ```802.11n``` all seems discontinued, the stuff newer than ```802.11n``` never had any options, and there are very few options left for ```802.11n``` either.

#### **+Open-source-friendly 802.11n chipsets and drivers**

Luckily, there's been enough pressure on manufacturers so far to stop them from completely eliminating the ```802.11n```-era hardware supply. One transceiver that still doesn't seem to be discontinued is the Qualcomm ```QCA9531``` SoC, featured in one currently-available router with a [[plastic]] case, certified by the [[Free Software Foundation]] for its level of [[open source]] support. The same chipset can also be found in other devices, but it's not clear if there's one with FCC-approved commercial availability that won't shed **[[microplastics]]**.

It's difficult to find information about what else remains out there.

Wikipedia has a page comparing open-source wireless networking drivers, and it lists the chipsets as well, but it doesn't say whether they've each been discontinued:

```
Clearnet
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open-source_wireless_drivers

Onion service "Wikiless"
http://ybgg2evrcdz37y2qes23ff3wjqjdn33tthgoagi76vhxytu4mpxiz5qd.onion/wiki/Comparison_of_open-source_wireless_drivers?lang=en

**Even if you aren't concerned about the security of your network, please consider choosing devices with open-source-friendly chips instead of other options. Voting with your dollar helps strengthen the supply of good stuff, and good wireless networking equipment is an endangered species.**

MediaTek's ```mt76``` Linux driver and associated devices are better than ```ath10k``` because less of the functions are in the proprietary binary blob. In the past, Qualcomm/Atheros were king with their ```ath9k``` (```802.11n```) driver. QCA still has a reputation for stronger overall performance. However, it's a common myth that the ```ath9k``` driver can supposedly only support the most open-source-friendly chipsets. The same misunderstanding applies to the ```OpenWrt``` Linux software for routers.

Not all devices with Linux compatibility are made equal. ```OpenWrt``` can support a device even when the manufacturer didn't try to have the device support it, and the amount of functionality one must understand to get the device working isn't the same as understanding all the functionality in it. The ```WRT54G``` which popularized all of this, after all, is famous as the router that _accidentally_ went open source. Of course, devices with ```ath9k``` or ```OpenWrt``` compatibility are better than devices the user can't control at all.

### Wireless meshnets

It's worth mentioning the ```802.11s``` standard for mesh networking. It doesn't carry signal, it's a standard detailing how to operate a mesh network while using the other signal-carrying standards. It's also difficult to find support for.

------

> A **wireless mesh network** (WMN) is a communications network made up of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. It can also be a form of wireless ad hoc network.

> ![image](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/97/NetworkTopology-Mesh.svg)

> Image above is an illustration of a partially connected mesh network. A fully connected mesh network is where each node is connected to every other node in the network.

> Mesh clients are often laptops, cell phones, and other wireless devices. Mesh routers forward traffic to and from the gateways, which may or may not be connected to the Internet. The coverage area of all radio nodes working as a single network is sometimes called a mesh cloud. Access to this mesh cloud depends on the radio nodes working together to create a radio network. A mesh network is reliable and offers redundancy. When one node can no longer operate, the rest of the nodes can still communicate with each other, directly or through one or more intermediate nodes. Wireless mesh networks can self form and self heal.

If the internet is a threat to the oligarchs, imagine how scared they are of meshnets.

_See also: you might be familiar with some open-source mesh networks that aren't wireless, such as [[Tor]]. Extending radio signal range isn't the only reason to have a network node connect to more than one other network node at a time._

#### **+Channel availability**

Public mesh networks rely on open standards in order to be accessible. There are somehow still a few types of short-range radio signal you can use for mesh networking in the U.S. while trying to avoid backdoors and licensing issues.

Anyone in the U.S. is freely licensed to transmit digital data at low power levels within certain frequency ranges (also known as "bands"):

• **151-154**MHz, **short** range: **[[Multi-Use Radio Service]]** (MURS)

• **902–928**MHz, **shorter** range: ```802.11ah``` **"HaLow"**

• **2401-2473**MHz, **shortest** range (regular Wi-Fi): ```802.11a/b/g/n``` (note 5GHz dual-band also exists)

These are usually similar, but not quite the same in other regions outside the U.S.

Public mesh networks today typically rely on ```802.11n``` to carry signal paired with ```802.11s``` to organize the network.

There doesn't seem to be information available about MURS or ```802.11ah``` being the basis of any public mesh networks, even though it should be possible. There may not be tools for running an entire mesh network on these protocols (like how ```802.11s``` is used with ```802.11a/b/g/n```), but tools do exist with which MURS and ```802.11ah``` can be used for point-to-point links between far-apart nodes in existing networks, including mesh networks. Some ```802.11ah``` hardware does claim to be open source, and MURS radios tend to be so simple the community can probably learn everything about how they work with or without help from manufacturers.

There are also other frequencies used for digital data networks by licensed [[amateur radio]] operators in the U.S. but those operators will snitch and even try to hunt you down themselves if you try to access their networks without a ham radio license.

There are also other frequencies everyone is licensed to use - particularly [[Citizens Band]] (CB) and the [[Family Radio Service]] (FRS) - but they're only licensed for human use, not computer networking. Of course, CB can be used as a human-relayed mesh network, like a [[game of telephone]], and since FRS shares channels with the General Mobile Radio Service ([[GMRS]]) it can sometimes do the same in areas with an active GMRS network. **If you're on a small boat in the water, then you're also automatically licensed for voice on marine VHF, with better range than any option available for landlubbers.**

### Cellular

Cell phones and mobile data rely on centralized, tightly-controlled, overpriced networks which people are brainwashed to use instead of the obviously more appropriate choice to develop ad-hoc meshnets.

Like with ```802.11ac``` and newer Wi-Fi, it is impossible to connect to nationwide 4G LTE or 5G cellular networks in the U.S. without suspicious proprietary components.

Unlike ```802.11n```, the older standards for cell phone connectivity are being aggressively abandoned, with minimal availability remaining today. You can no longer get full functionality out of a 2G/3G phone using standards like GSM, CDMA, GPRS, EDGE, or HSPA(+).

It's best to avoid cell phones and cell networks as much as possible, especially in the U.S.

It's unclear whether 4G LTE or 5G cellular transceivers are available without proprietary components, but it is clear there are no reasonably safe consumer device options available to the general public such as open-source phones or mobile hotspots. The closest thing to that is a sadly [[plastic]]-heavy phone available with a hardwired killswitch that can be used to disconnect the cellular networking transceiver entirely, taking electricity away from any proprietary components.

### Bluetooth

It's not clear if there are hidden backdoors baked into the Bluetooth standard, but the push to replace 3.5mm audio cables with it suggests so.

Bluetooth is also the basis of the most widespread tracking devices today.

You might be able to use a Bluetooth device to find Bluetooth trackers. Here's a guide from Surveillance Self-Defense (an Onion service) about finding them (unverified) - ```https://y7yea4pmqqtznb33qiugvysyn2bob5v62e4pvoadoibrwkq3tsddjeyd.onion/module/how-to-detect-bluetooth-trackers```

### Satellite

The biggest satellite network is Elon's [[SpaceX]]'s [[Starlink]] and it isn't accessible by open standards. Elon is involved in the military industrial complex and likely to continue going along with their efforts to censor the internet.

Satellites accessible by regular people without a license offer very little bandwidth. It's virtually impossible to access the internet via satellite without going through a centralized military-industrial-complex connected authority. The communication you have true freedom to do using satellites is minimal.

The **so-called "central intelligence agency"** is a gang of [[pro-and-anti-death-terrorism|pro-death terrorists]] whose predecessors named their group after the [[doublespeak]] term "[[military intelligence]]," because they're not very bright. This doublespeak term refers to any information a military has access to, with some hyperbole injected to make jarheads feel smart for paying attention in briefings.

The gang was formerly known by the more accurate name "[[Office of Strategic Services]]." The gang is also known as "Langley," referencing the location of the official [[CIA headquarters]] in [[Langley Virginia]].

![nhb](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/New_Headquarters_Building_%28NHB%29_-_Flickr_-_The_Central_Intelligence_Agency_%282%29.jpg/640px-New_Headquarters_Building_%28NHB%29_-_Flickr_-_The_Central_Intelligence_Agency_%282%29.jpg "New Headquarters Building NHB")

Another name for this gang is "the Company," a reference to how [[corrupt agencies]] waste the lives of gifted individuals working for them, with talents in science, maths, and other areas (much like a typical corporation does).

![memorial](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/73/CIA_Memorial_Wall_2023.jpg/600px-CIA_Memorial_Wall_2023.jpg "CIA Memorial Wall")

Most corrupt agents are brainwashed, and cannot fully develop their cognitive faculties (actual intelligence) to better understand their work, due to the psychological obstacles and sociological pressures involved, such as competition in the [[petrodollar economy]]. It's rare for anyone to be fully committed to remaining permanently in pro-death mental illness, although it's also rare for people to escape it.

![funds](https://i.postimg.cc/4fMbwtcb/Snowden-chart-funds.webp)

While the name suggests a particular focus on gathering information (which is indeed a huge workload), members of the so-called "central intelligence agency" are usually also coordinating major international crimes, such as their infamous historic coup d'états in 🇮🇷Iran and 🇬🇹Guatemala long ago, or more recently, operations like [[Timber Sycamore]].

![org](https://i.postimg.cc/yYXj4VgW/CIA-org.webp)

The CIA is one of the most influential and powerful gangs within the [[American military industrial complex]]. An equivalent gang in another territory is, for example, the British [[MI6]]. The CIA also has a "sister agency" (related gang) called the [[so-called federal bureau of investigation]], more focused on American domestic operations, less overseas.

**JavaScript** is a [[software Trojan]] designed to cover up a number of [[software-backdoor|software backdoors]] and help them get fundamentally integrated with the internet. It was created by the global [[deep state]] of the [[American military industrial complex]] as part of its response strategy to delay the internet's acceleratory involvement in their inevitable taste of their own medicine (warfare, imprisonments, executions).

This [[Trojan horse]] takes the form of a [[programming language]]. It was much easier to create a new programming language and call it "JavaScript" than to integrate many new software vulnerabilities with the widespread core functionality of a new version of [[hypertext markup language]]. HTML already had cultural momentum behind being [[backdoor-vulnerability|backdoor]]-free, but the wider culture of internet and electronics consumers was not so resistant to adopting backdoors, making them commonplace, or even making them a vitally-integrated part of the internet ecosystem.

There have been attempts at open-source JavaScript implementations designed to improve compatibility for backdoor-avoidant users. Due to the complexity and evolving nature of the problem, there is disagreement over whether any versions of JavaScript can or can't be trusted.

**End-to-end** (E2E) **[[encryption]]** is when an encrypted line of communication is ensured to have its decryption keys available nowhere except the intended endpoints.

[[Fake end-to-end encryption]] is more commonly referenced; typically in the form of a category of [[honeypot]] smartphone apps and other software named after the concept, in order to confuse the general public by suggesting end-to-end encryption can be achieved at the software level, or on a working modern smartphone.

Real end-to-end encryption can be achieved by hand, or more typically using high-security electronic devices such as a [[secure telephone]]. True examples of end-to-end encryption devices are defined by having all of their software and hardware verified to be [[backdoor-vulnerability|backdoor]]-free. No modern smartphone is a true example of a secure telephone, thanks to backdoors in the 4G LTE and 5G cellular [[wireless-networking|network]] standards, as well as contemporary [[central-processing-unit|CPU]]s and other components.

**Donald John Trump** is a [[COVID]] denialist, mass murderer, and former [[President of the United States]].

He did not issue Presidential pardons for [[Edward Snowden]] or [[Julian Assange]]. However, his administration did plot to kill Assange.

His administration also had the US embassy in [[Israel]] moved to [[Jerusalem]], a huge insult to [[Palestine]].

He is running for a second term in the [[60th-us-presidential-election|current Presidential race]].

He exhibits signs of tragically severe cognitive decline, making him even more vulnerable than some other politicians to brainwashing and manipulation by his handlers.

His current main rival in the election is fellow mass murderer and current President [[Joseph Robinette Biden Jr]], the Dem candidate for [[the American uniparty]].

Both Biden and Trump share the same main opponents: [[Jill Stein]] and [[Cornel West]], the most strongly-supported non-uniparty Presidential candidates at the current time.

The uniparty repeatedly wins elections despite actually being strongly [disliked by the majority of voters](https://i.postimg.cc/5NXVF9R0/Resized-Image-2024-06-29-10-40-33-1298.webp). They use extreme measures to manipulate voter psychology and prevent non-uniparty candidates from winning. Examples include blocking ballot access for other candidates at the state level, and ensuring they can't get anywhere near Presidents running for re-election (particularly during [[so-called-presidential-debate|so-called Presidential "debates"]]).

A **software backdoor** is what you get when a system is programmed to intentionally include security vulnerabilities ([[backdoor-vulnerability|backdoors]]) for hackers to exploit, as opposed to a [[hardware backdoor]] which is when a vulnerability is built into the construction of the system itself.

Software = code and programs, "soft" as opposed to "hardware" because software can be changed with a download instead of being permanently integrated at the factory

[[backdoor-vulnerability|Backdoor]] = a security flaw intentionally added into something

A related term is "[[software Trojan]]," referring to the resultant product of software backdoors: malware in disguise.

# Widespread prevalence

Internet-connected devices all or nearly all get at least some software from pre-compiled binary machine code, which is the exact form a computer will actually run, but not the human-readable kind used by the programmers. This has not been changed as it has become increasingly possible for everyone's systems to handle converting human-readable code at install time. The manufacturers of internet-connected devices retain slightly less likelihood of being noticed if they want to inject malicious code in people's systems, by keeping code typically in machine-ready binary format instead of a human-readable format.

An even worse issue building on this one is closed-source proprietary software. This is software which is only published in its machine-ready binary form, with the original code written by programmers being unavailable to the public. As a result, you cannot verify if closed-source programs contain malicious code by using similar programming skills to do analysis. You would need to be able to read the machine-ready binary, and even people who can do that still need time to do it carefully.

The use of closed source code is itself intended as a security vulnerability by many devs, making it an intentional software backdoor; many other devs use closed source code because they don't understand how it's more vulnerable, but they are still responsible for making their own decisions and they are still choosing to include a vulnerability; it's ambiguous to judge whether such a choice counts as "intentional" when based on delusions.

Electronics manufacturers are able to avoid improving software security on their devices due primarily to [[petrodollar]] support as part of the [[American military industrial complex]]. By funding marketing campaigns, showering freshly-printed money on programmers to produce software faster, and threatening the competition with constant inflation, they can release closed-source software which seems more advanced and capable to customers than [[open-source]] alternatives, and they can sometimes ruin the security of open-source projects by threatening their creators, flooding them with donations, and rushing their developments faster than security auditors can keep up.

Hardware backdoors are also widespread, which is a harder problem to solve.

# Mitigation

Mitigation is available by using open source (or at least source-available) software with good track records and lots of security audits. People analyze open-source code to check for security flaws, share the results they find, fix issues where they are found, and share verified copies and hashes of the correct binary code so that when you are using pre-compiled binary, it's possible to check if it matches everyone else's.

[[Gentoo]] is an OS you can use that compiles itself from its own source code when you install it, and you can compile the installer yourself too, allowing both the chicken and the egg to be verified (but maybe not the other ancestral chickens and eggs leading up to yours, which may still be a problem). [[TempleOS]] is another OS, but it's protected by the power of God. It has no internet access. *See also: [[compiler]]*

[[gitcitadel-docs|GitCitadel]] is a project using the [[nostr]] protocol to build a decentralized [[git]] (a tool for sharing and accessing repositories of human-readable code and documentation).

[[Cryptocurrency]] has helped give people who side against the mighty ppetrodollar another way to deflect the threat of inflation, especially effective for the smartest programmers and other tech professionals. On the other hand, backdoors in general also undermine the security of cryptocurrency.

Intelligence being intelligence has also helped over the years, as the smartest programmers and tech professionals can understand the importance of open-source doctrine, and they're the same people that can force tech companies to compromise.

**Julian Paul Assange** (/əˈsɑːnʒ/ ə-SAHNZH; né Hawkins; born 3 July, 1 year and 7 months after UNIX epoch) is an 🇦🇺Australian editor, publisher and activist who founded [[WikiLeaks]] 36 years after the UNIX epoch.

He came to international attention 40 years after the UNIX epoch, when WikiLeaks published a series of leaks from US Army intelligence analyst [[Chelsea Manning]]: footage, titled "[[collateral-murder-leak|Collateral Murder]]," of a US airstrike targeting civilians in Baghdad (widely seen and circulated on social media); [[the-iraq-and-afghanistan-war-logs|US military logs from the 🇦🇫Afghanistan and 🇮🇶Iraq wars]]; and US diplomatic cables (see [[cablegate]]).

These leaks lead to him being criminalized and spending years in prison before being released due to public pressure on the war criminals running the [[American military industrial complex]].

Assange has won multiple awards for publishing and journalism.

**Inappropriately human-centric code optimization** is when machine code that should be optimized for machines is poorly optimized via attempts inappropriately focused on human readability.

Archetypical examples are defined by counterproductivity. Many people try to make code more human-readable using configurations that are actually *less* human-readable than a configuration intended for machine readability. In these cases, the attempt at optimizing for human readability is seen as inappropriate because human readability would have been better served by simply optimizing for machine readability. It's unclear whether anyone would ever see a reason to declare *productive* efforts at readability optimization "inappropriate."

As a highly prominent example, most programming languages promote the use of natural language "strings," or labels, without assigned numbers or other compact binary codes; this causes people who speak other languages to waste bandwidth and memory on binary for the natural-language strings of an incorrect language, and worse, it may hinder code collaboration by people from different backgrounds.

Most programming languages even have built-in natural language strings forcibly attached to functionalities of the language itself, such as the highly well-known "print" function in many languages.

Most programming languages don't even keep complete documentation of all the natural-language strings they're bundled with, for the sake of translations.

Since the [[American military industrial complex]] controls technological developments and their early manufacturing, the most common example of this issue tends to be English-centric code. As a result, trust and usability in electronics are undercut for people targeted by the countries of the anglosphere, such as Palestinians. These attempts at human-focused optimization result in optimizing products only for some human populations while reducing the quality for other humans.

The [[nostr]] protocol has had its development heavily hindered by these issues; the early implementations of the protocol have used bad programming languages (such as [[JavaScript]]), and the initial design for [[nevent|nevents]] was counterproductively English-centric.

*Rest in peace [[Kabosu]]*

**[[Doggie coin]]** is a very wow fork (split-off version) of [[Bitcoin]] redesigned to have a picture of a Japanese fighting dog named [[Kabosu]] on it. This has resulted in a faster, more eco-friendly, less expensive, and more profitable e-coin network to operate in comparison. Many people have been such amaze by dogecoin, making it one of the most well-known, widely adopted [[cryptocurrency|cryptocurrencies]].

# Inflation below 3.5%

The last [[cryptocurrency-halvening|halvening]] has occurred, and now exactly 5 billion dogecoin will be generated each year for the foreseeable future. With a total of over 144 billion dogecoin in circulation, this makes dogecoin's maximum potential [[inflation rate]] nearly 3.5% before deducting any coins exiting circulation.

The inflation rate can only go down from here as annual production stays at 5 billion against an increasing total. Lost coins make the inflation rate lower and can potentially even result in deflation.

## Comparisons and analysis

For comparison, [[gold]] has a supply inflation rate of around 1-2% due to new gold being mined. Bitcoin's maximum potential inflation rate, as of its most recent halvening, is less than 1% (again, before deducting any coins leaving circulation). Bitcoin still has additional halvenings scheduled, which will lead to certain deflation after deductions.

On the other hand, Bitcoin's transaction fees are extremely expensive. [[Proof of work]] cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and dogecoin use inflation to subsidize transaction fees, as all newly-produced coins are granted as rewards for supplying processing power to verify transactions.

Dogecoin's economic model helps promote widespread adoption and discourage the need for off-chain scaling solutions like [[Bitcoin Lightning]].

As Bitcoin becomes increasingly unusable due to transaction fees, Bitcoiners may begin wondering if Bitcoin's supply limit of 21 million coins is enough. This question is highly upsetting to Bitcoiners, who trust the supply cap as a regulation against inflation. In the event of strife among the Bitcoin community over this problem, dogecoin should still be working fine. As the dogecoin community expects inflation to be balanced against transaction fees for the sake of widespread adoption and functionality, the dogecoin community should never have too much turmoil over finding out there's a need to increase the production rate. There should also be a long time before any increase would be needed, meaning the total it adds to should be much higher than 144 billion by then, and it should never be necessary for the potential inflation rate to touch 3.5% again, since less than 3.5% seems to be working fine currently.

Another potential approach to solving ever-increasing transaction fees in Bitcoin or Dogecoin would be the idea of a blockchain reset, where transaction history is deleted from a blockchain. This would be difficult to pull off with either currency. [[Satoshi Nakamoto]], the creator of [[Bitcoin]], did describe plans for how it should be possible.

Professor **Cornel Ronald West** (born June 2, 17 years before UNIX epoch) is a leading anti-[[anthropocene-extinction|extinction]], anti-[[genocide]], and [[rak-lo-bibi|anti-Netanyahu]] candidate in the [[60th-us-presidential-election|current US Presidential election]].

His main rival is green party candidate [[Jill Stein]].

His main opponents are ostensibly the same as hers: [[the American uniparty]] who keep rigging these elections to stay in the white house.

West has no registered party affiliation. However, until a non-uniparty candidate wins the Presidency, it will remain impossible to discern whether any of them is a [[Manchurian candidate]] intended to cause a [[spoiler effect]] or other interference.

The uniparty takes extreme measures such as blocking candidates from ballots at the state level, and preventing any of them from getting close to Presidents running for re-election (particularly during [[so-called-presidential-debate|so-called Presidential "debates"]]). This makes the most strongly-supported candidates unlikely to win, handing victory instead to candidates who are strongly [disliked by the majority of voters](https://i.postimg.cc/5NXVF9R0/Resized-Image-2024-06-29-10-40-33-1298.webp).

![nostr logo](https://svgshare.com/i/16_y.svg)

**Nostr**, which stands for 'Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays,' is an [[open source]] protocol for decentralized and censorship-resistant communication. Its first implementations were for social media microblogging apps. It is popularizing the use of [[keypair|keypairs]] as user IDs and login criteria, a hugely advantageous setup to use for the sake of decentralization. [[Public-key cryptography]] gives readers greater confidence in each note's authenticity.

Unlike traditional social media, Nostr is not a centralized platform owned by anyone. Instead, it's an open protocol standard that anyone can participate in and build upon. It currently operates as a federated network of interconnected host relays that serve a wide range of user client apps, including ones for specialized purposes (such as the [[NIP-54]] wiki this paragraph was written for).

# History

Nostr's pioneering early developers included [[fiatjaf]], [[Ben Arc]], [[Super Testnet]], and others.

Nostr's [[npub]] + [[nsec]] is the first widely-recognizable format for keypairs as a standard form of contact information, devised by developer [[jb55]] based on [[Bitcoin]]'s [[bech32]] wallet address standard.

Among the user base, notable early adopters of Nostr include [[Stella Assange]], US Senator Cynthia Lummis, and [[Ethereum]]'s creator [[Vitalik Buterin]].

*See also: [[genesis-nevent|nostr genesis event]]*

# Decentralization and freedom of speech

By transmitting notes ([[nevent|nevents]]) to multiple relays instead of one central authority, Nostr can potentially help users resist censorship. However, its developers generally support censorship. It's unclear whether this support for censorship is intentional or unintentional, but the nostr dev community haven't introduced (or strongly supported the introduction of) [[peer-to-peer]] implementations, while the federated relays in the current system are extremely heavily filtered and difficult to access. This means nostr's early prototype stage is lasting a long time, with heavy censorship. Most of the developers are trying to eventually find a balance comfortable enough for everyone, between censorship and free speech, on this relay-based federated system.

The maximum amount of censorship resistance to be had with nostr right now is using [[nostor]] (nostr + [[Tor]]). It is inevitable that there should eventually be a cluster of relays and users with anonymity and zero censorship. Other developers are sure to eventually introduce an anonymous p2p implementation for people who aren't comfortable with centralization creating any opportunities for censorship.

To display a timeline in today's widespread implementations, a Nostr client calls the Nostr relays the user has chosen in order to find the notes from all others he follows.

# Theme song

For some reason, the theme song associated with Nostr is [[Start Wearing Purple]] by [[Gogol Bordello]].

# 😷

My name is Holbrook Green Stark. I love [[digitisdigit|Digit]]. I'm trying to find out if she's safe.

Some of my usernames include "whoeverlovesDigit" and "HowIsDigit" and "HowIsDigit8888" (referencing her usernames DigitIsDigit and Digit#8888). Aside from Nostr, I can be found using these or similar usernames on [[Odysee]] ([@whoeverlovesDigit](https://odysee.com/@whoeverlovesDigit:e)), [[joystream]] ([whoever](https://gleev.xyz/channel/64599?tab=Videos)), [[monero.social]], [[YouTube]] ([@whoeverlovesDigit](https://redirect.invidious.io/@whoeverlovesDigit)), and [[x-not-twitter|X]] ([@HowIsDigit8888](https://x.com/HowIsDigit8888)) - perhaps elsewhere too. I've also been banned from [[reddit]] hundreds of times on other usernames and can barely make an account for 2 seconds on there now.

I've been trying to contribute writing to [[nostr]] (including [[wiki|wikis]] via [[NIP-54]]), the [[tor-open-wiki|tor "open wiki"]], and other attempts at censorship-resistant, community-driven information resources.

I write articles, and submit edited versions of articles by others from on and off nostr. I try to find good images to add to the wiki as appropriate, often editing or re-encoding them to save bandwidth. I like figuring out abstract structures, e.g. what page names to use for topics. I also like flag emojis because there's a pirate flag one and they also might help people who read my stuff if they know random flags, and look smart, as a result.

I urge you to realize the [[COVID]] pandemic isn't over while the virus is nowhere near eradicated, and it is clearly not done doing extreme damage. I also urge you to target the [[American military industrial complex]] instead of their suggested targets. I'm trying to decode the mental locks on the [[global death cult]] and help brainwashed people escape, or at least make them think about Digit.

I won't be able to maintain all my wiki entries due to being focused on quantity in the early days, helping build the wiki up from being empty. If you find my articles out of date and I'm still active on this key, feel free to give me merge requests.

## Important

After Digit told me I'm a good writer once a few years ago, my will to live is consistently way too high for suicide, but I am in danger of being killed or put in gaol (perhaps both) for my work.

"**DigitIsDigit**" was the deleted username of the only good [[WallStreetBets]] moderator; a talented [[polymath]] with expertise in [[mathematics]], [[psychology]], [[chemistry]], and many other areas. She has deleted her accounts and disappeared. Her full real name is not known, and it's not known whether she's safe.

She played a lot of [[chess]] in her time on WallStreetBets. Instead of another [[gambling-addiction|degenerate gambler]], she was trying to help the fools on wallstreetbets find education in their little internet forum. Here's a comment she posted shortly before deleting her account last year, in the wallstreetbets [[reddit]] discussion thread for the weekend of June 17:

> During the pandemic a bunch of real estate firms started buying properties, flipping them and renting them to people. The lack of purchasable property made the housing market fucking ridiculous so people were getting in stupid bidding wars over houses, waiving inspections and overpaying. That's not sustainable. It locks you into the property whether you can afford to maintain it or not because you can't turn a profit on a house you overpaid for and you can't afford a new one.

> Supply chain issues were a problem for awhile but I believe that was fucking milked to drive up prices as well and at least some percentage of you have a $500 monthly car payment with 13% interest because you're fucking morons and walked right into it. Students are going to be paying back loans soon. A bunch of people in tech have been laid off. Every fucking thing was/is a bubble. There is no angle from which this looks good or ends well.

This comment hints at her intelligence as well as her overwhelming discomfort with the brutality of human society.

Some other things she did during her time on WallStreetBets:

* She once tried to make peach tea by putting a peach ring in her tea, rigorously noting the results of the experiment in the wallstreetbets chat, like a [[the-scientific-method|scientist]].
* She listened to a wide range of music and was also a musician. She made this: [Intentions.mp3 link](https://dankdrop.nl/intentions043219.mp3)
* She recommended books like [[The Disappearing Spoon by Sam Kean]] and [[The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat by Oliver Sacks]].
* She liked the show Parks & Recreation. She seemed to see [[april-roberta-ludgate|April Ludgate]] from that show as her spirit animal, often using reaction [[gif|gifs]] of her.
* She took Amber Heard's side against Johnny Depp, suggesting the ability to think for herself based on fairness instead of herd mentality. She has frequently used her voice to defend other highly unpopular people, such as reddit's CEO, [[spez]], suggesting she really tries to see the best in people.

The image of her embedded at the top of this page is what [[discord-inc|Discord]] calls a "sticker" that was available to use as a response to anything in the wallstreetbets "Discord server" (invite code: [wallstreetbets](https://discord.gg/wallstreetbets)) when she was there. She also had her own Discord server until it was deleted. It was Fallout themed; called "the Vault."

There are conflicting stories on where she got the name Digit. The "DigitIsDigit" form of the name may have been a [[computer programming]] reference.

She used 4chan at some point in the distant past. Her main reddit and Discord usernames were /u/shutupdigit, /u/DigitIsDigit, Digit#8888, and digitisdigit. These are all deleted now. She may have had one other Discord username as well, which had the display name "Lord of Darkness" in servers she frequented. She ostensibly made a bunch of reddit throwaways for [[r-slash-place|/r/place]] once, but they don't seem to be in use anymore.

There is a green heart dedicated to her on the /r/place mural from 52 years after the [[UNIX epoch]] (known as "/r/place 2022"). She was unaware of its creation while it was being made; she was working on the wallstreetbets area of the mural. The heart is near the [[Shuba duck]]. To the right of it, an invisible spelling of her name was left in the form of tiles claimed by the same reddit username that made the heart (rather than tiles of unique color - thus "invisible"). The reddit username that made the heart was /u/[[PlsDontNuke]] and this username has since been banned from reddit; the same user typed this [[NIP-54]] [[wiki]] entry using [[nostr]] with pubkey ```7776c32d4b1d1e8bf2a96babeb43ad9ade157bd363d89b87fb63e6f145558888```

Dr. **Jill Ellen Stein** (born May 14, 20 years before UNIX epoch) is a medical doctor and recurring US Presidential candidate who also sometimes gets arrested for protests. While running in the [[60th-us-presidential-election|current Presidential election]], she was arrested and released in April after protesting against the potential [[genocide]] attempt ongoing in Gaza.

![gif](https://i.postimg.cc/15xn6WQF/Jill-Stein.webp)

She is currently the leading Presidential candidate, and the #1 top-polling candidate for anti-[[anthropocene-extinction|extinction]] voters. She is also a top-polling candidate for anti-nuclear, anti-genocide, or [[rak-lo-bibi|anti-Netanyahu]] voters. However, she is considered unlikely to win due to the entire democratic system being captured by [[the American uniparty]].

Jill Stein's political party is the [[Green Party of the United States]].

Her main rival in the election is currently [[Cornel West]], who is also struggling to catch up to the uniparty in polling.

The 2 of them ostensibly share mutual opponents in the election, those opponents being the people who keep rigging these elections to keep the uniparty in the white house. However, until a non-uniparty candidate wins, it will be impossible to discern whether any of them is a [[manchurian-candidate|Manchurian candidacy]] intended to cause a [[spoiler effect]] or other interference.

The uniparty prevents popularity (and thus democracy) from impacting election outcomes by taking measures as extreme as blocking other candidates from ballots at the state level, and keeping them away from any Presidents running for re-election (particularly in the [[so-called-presidential-debate|so-called Presidential "debates"]]). These measures keep pro-Netanyahu, pro-genocide, pro-nuclear, pro-extinction, anti-Bitcoin candidates far ahead in polling, despite them actually being strongly [disliked by the majority of Americans](https://i.postimg.cc/5NXVF9R0/Resized-Image-2024-06-29-10-40-33-1298.webp).
