  • Most people use custodial wallets (they don't really hold the coins) and multiple wallets have had hacks (or ""hacks"") where a lot of user funds were stolen.

    I personally like

    • Electrum for Bitcoin
    • Feather for Monero
    • Guarda for Ethereum based coins because it allows you to generate a new address each time.
  • If you're saying reddit temp banned you, you made a new account, and then you made a new account and that was instantly banned... yeah, I had 7 accounts all logged into an app, one was banned, therefore all 7 were banned, and when I removed them and cleared app cache and disconnected from wifi (so I had a mobile IP) that account was instantly banned as well. So I guess even 3rd party apps send (sent lol) some unique identifier to reddit.

  • Just helping spread information to those that may want to watch new episodes and movies in a different language or that are inaccessible in their region (and use a converter box to record and reupload them, if they're angelic and technologically inclined)

    it's not exactly widely known that these services are available unless you're terminally online, have infosec interest, or buy and sell new and limited edition sneakers with bots.

  • yup that's why I mentioned only using the VPN config file and not running any programs from them. there's a reason they have so many clean residential IPs to stream from and it's not because they pay people 10/20$/mo

    surfahark and nordvpn and almost all free browser extension vpns do this. always read the terms of service!

  • Sure, the dictator who windowfalls or poloniumteas anyone that says something he doesn't like is the same as the party of people who have the worldview that allowing abortion at the doctor is the same as allowing adults to be murdered in the street.

    Not.

    Some day you'll realize people are brainwashed. Not just other people either, but me, you, your mom, my mom, everyone is to some extent. American Tea Party Republicans have been told their entire lives that abortion and birth control is morally equivalent to shooting someone in the street. Yay for Baby Jeebus. And you believe that terminating a growing series of cells that would turn into a human isn't murder. They think you're evil for that. You don't think you're evil, and they don't think they're evil, you simply share opposing worldviews. That's why having multiple cultures in a melting pot can be such a clusterfuck... I suppose they call it a melting pot for a reason, and not like, a cohesive utopia.

    Thankfully states like California are stepping up and helping women in states like TX, and we still have federal law on our side. But you can't have it both ways -- you can't want state laws for things like marijuana and federal laws for things like abortion.

    Local, state, and federal laws exist for a reason. Trust me, the last thing you want is to grant 'the good guys' currently in power writing federal law over free and open abortion access. Because then the next 'bad guys' will come in and yank that right out. Like they did.

    Separation of church, state, and even more importantly, the branches of government.

    But comparing 200+ different people in power all with differing views on a plethora of ideas to a dictator who brutally and publicly murders anyone who speaks out against him, and lets murders and rapists out of prison (but not his political opponents) as long as they'll be body bags for a failing war he can't admit he lost?

    Think more. Read more history and less current news and memes. Please. Your older self will thank you for it.

    There is SO MUCH astroturfing going on today on the internet to sway ideas and ideologies of entire groups of people, even entire political parties and generations. If you asked 1,000 people on he street to sit down and decide what articles/memes/posts were bots, and what was legitimate and organic, I think you'd have a higher detection number rolling dice. https://gvwire.com/2023/11/14/spamouflage-chinas-massive-online-disinformation-campaign-targets-americans/

    ^ That's just the one that's beneficial for the West to post about right now. Surely there won't be similar English articles about Eglin this week.

    edit: I accidentally a words

  • Similarly to your story, you don't fire the IT person who makes a grave mistake that costs a lot of time/money/lost data, because you can be damn sure they'll never, ever do that again.

    Unless it was gross negligence and the person is just an idiot, any capable person will learn from their mistakes, and never make the big ones twice.

  • my Russian wife was browsing the internal news yesterday to see what level of information is provided over there

    How do you do that? Or is your wife one of those "Russian brides" that you pay but they never actually come to you?

    (I'm just joking... I hope.. I am actually curious how to read internal Russian news. I have a couple VPS in Moscow.)

  • Yup. I built a crypto trading bot waaaay back in the day (2012ish). 2014 onward the crypto scene started to really fill with scammers and of course people figured out the same strategies (not that what I was doing was unique or even smart, just paid attention to price differences mostly). The best way to do this pre- and during COVID was to pump & dump crypto before it was regulated. Use a token generator and give it some kind of special ideological meaning and pay people to hype it up. Now? Go directly to jail, do not pass go.

    I mean, sort of. Not always, or you wouldn't have fucking SpongeBob coin overloading the BTC mempool and making transactions insanely expensive.

  • Are you British?

    In many places in America we give a quick honk to let someone know the light is green after 5 seconds or so (or a 5 second blast after 1 second if you're in Chicago for example.. partly joking) generally they are looking at their phone or otherwise distracted.

    It's a polite "hey bud, you're holding up traffic"

  • In many stores around me the fitting rooms are locked and require keys for entry due to theft. I'm not sure that was it. I'm wondering if OP is overthinking the situation and the guy just remembered something semi-traumatic from earlier in the day, or saw something bad happening behind OP or something.
