So wait. This guy set up his site for selling stolen credentials on the CLEARNET? Did he accept payment in PayPal as well? What an idiot. Doesnâ(TM)t he know, situations like this are why God invented the darknet?
I still use pine in an 80x24. It processes the âDâ(TM) key as fast as my finger can tap. No fancy modern GUI will match the reflexes I spent my entire childhood training on videogames. But xterm can!
Running on the ETH chain, so every transaction will be slow and expensive. This is the same network that was brought to its knees by Crypto Kitties, fer chrisssakes
The Federal Government is corrupt beyond fixing. Which is why I joined thousands of others to concentrate our efforts â" the Free State Project.
Itâ(TM)s also why I use Tor, Monero, Signal, and look forward to getting a Purism phone. They will try to surveil; we will encrypt and use open systems!
These days, when I have a little money left over, I buy private untraceable crypto like Monero. Call me crazy, but stories like this one make me all the more certain that truly private currency is something that more people will come to value.
Or for that matter encryption that was classified as a âoemunition?â
I think I still have the T-Shirt of Perl code in the shape of a porpoise, from 20 years ago. It was ostensibly subject to US export controls. I used to wear it whenever I traveled internationally.
What is âshady moneyâ(TM)?
Isnâ(TM)t that just money that you or others earn or spend, that isnâ(TM)t monitored, approved, and taxes by people who did not earn it and have no business involving themselves in your personal transactions?
Seriously though, remember that not all crypto uses mining/proof-of-work. Some use proof-of-stake (terrible idea, IMO: âoehe who has the gold makes the rulesâ) and others use dustributed consensus among competing validators that are unlikely to collude. The latter do thousands of transactions per second on-chain, have negligible transaction fees, and donâ(TM)t needlessly burn energy like crappy old-tech BTC
Thank you. Screenshotted your post and saved it. Someday when Iâ(TM)m either fired, retired, or struck it rich, Iâ(TM)m showing this to my project manager.
Amen. Iâ(TM)ve been managing software development teams for nearly three decades, and IMO the single most important job of software management is to leave developers alone. Shield them from the Drama/Hot Feature/Management question of the Day. Keep their time in meetings to the barest minimum. Make sure their support responsibilities can be planned for, so they are not jumping into one emergency after another. Make sure customers arenâ(TM)t wasting their time with emails and chats. Absolutely resist the âoejust spend an extra few minutes documenting what you did the last 4 hoursâ/clicking pointless checkboxes/justifying every 30-minute interval of their day.
Software requires THINKING. Concentration, in long uninterrupted blocks. Thatâ(TM)s the secret to making the secret sauce: let them think and program.
The real test is Nethack.
Iâ(TM)ve been playing ~20 years, and ascended less than a dozen times. There are tens of thousands of games ttyrecâ(TM)d on the public nethack servers like nethack.alt.org
Letâ(TM)s see an AI get the Amulet of Yendor.
I have had Amazon Prime for years; just the other day I tried installing the streaming Amazon Music app which apparently Iâ(TM)m already paying for. The selection was pathetic, less than 20-30 songs per genre. There was no useful ability to find music âoesimilar toâ what I liked. I uninstalled the app within 12 hours of installing it. Useless even if it were free.

... which is why my crypto of choice is Monero

A quick search turns up commercial ready-to-use units, plus DIY instructions example
Monero FTW!
Yet another reason why we need an open source phone OS

Only PoW crypto is susceptible to 51% attacks. Ripple, for example, is not.
Many thanks to YOU, jaromil, for helping create Devuan. Your work means a lot to me and other seasoned *nix fans.

Where EXACTLY do you work? We might be able to get you some free pen testing ;)
