@NickSzabo4 @adam3us @theragetech @LukeDashjr Yeah, if so having a Bircoin full node may become as common as having an exit node for TOR Network (liability is way too big to even consider it)

When Bitcoin turns into an arbitrary content service, it greatly increases the legal liabilities and moral reservations of node operators, from mere financial regulation (which so far lobbyists etc. have largely dealt with), and narrow moral reservations, to a far broader swath of criminal and civil liability and very popular moral reservations. When this happens it invites these kinds of responses from node operatiors.

ugh. far worse than i could've imagined. skipped past slippery slope arguments, @lukedashjr / knots plan is to jump straight to the censorship tech that myself and @csuwildcat were specifically warning about with legal citations from prior internet cases. x.com/theragetech/st…

Software horror: litellm PyPI supply chain attack. Simple `pip install litellm` was enough to exfiltrate SSH keys, AWS/GCP/Azure creds, Kubernetes configs, git credentials, env vars (all your API keys), shell history, crypto wallets, SSL private keys, CI/CD secrets, database passwords. LiteLLM itself has 97 million downloads per month which is already terrible, but much worse, the contagion spreads to any project that depends on litellm. For example, if you did `pip install dspy` (which depended on litellm>=1.64.0), you'd also be pwnd. Same for any other large project that depended on litellm. Afaict the poisoned version was up for only less than ~1 hour. The attack had a bug which led to its discovery - Callum McMahon was using an MCP plugin inside Cursor that pulled in litellm as a transitive dependency. When litellm 1.82.8 installed, their machine ran out of RAM and crashed. So if the attacker didn't vibe code this attack it could have been undetected for many days or weeks. Supply chain attacks like this are basically the scariest thing imaginable in modern software. Every time you install any depedency you could be pulling in a poisoned package anywhere deep inside its entire depedency tree. This is especially risky with large projects that might have lots and lots of dependencies. The credentials that do get stolen in each attack can then be used to take over more accounts and compromise more packages. Classical software engineering would have you believe that dependencies are good (we're building pyramids from bricks), but imo this has to be re-evaluated, and it's why I've been so growingly averse to them, preferring to use LLMs to "yoink" functionality when it's simple enough and possible.

@PlayGOALS Hola, una key por favor. Argentina

@leo_haf @maciejsoltysiak @_dr_bonez I just figured it out. You can actually install BitcoinKnots, stop it, then install DATUM with requirements met and switch RPC credentials to those that are valid for your BitcoinCoreV29 (I refuse to use V30) Then I switch Bitcoin Knots to TestNet4 since I need one of those nodes

@maciejsoltysiak @IT4Bitcoin @_dr_bonez Umbrel is the only one where datum don’t run with Core, for now.

To all people running knots, why are you doing it? Because you think the filters/configurability are good? Or because Luke told you to?

@saifedean Where do you get Omega 3? Fish? Nuts? Of course you wouldn't need that much since your Omega 6 levels are way lower without industrial food.

Today marks ten years of me being a carnivore: eating only meat. Here are some reflections I wrote about this on the fifth anniversary. saifedean.com/meat

@maciejsoltysiak @_dr_bonez It seems using it with konts is only mandatory in datum Umbrel then

@IT4Bitcoin @_dr_bonez Datum Gateway needs getblocktemplate RPC for block construction. Out of the box it works with Core, Knots and Knobs, in both solo and pooled setting. Knots is recommended because you get more control over template parameters.

@nvk And actually he donated to openbsd many thousands lol OpenBSD rescued from unpowered oblivion by $20K bitcoin donation - Ars Technica share.google/aj3wM2Dj2n9FuY…

@nvk I think Mircea Popescu and trilema's crew used to have a client just like that. They didn't even add segwit, ultra conservative hehe

I'd get behind a Bitcoin distribution like OpenBSD. Just a tiny group of maintainers, ultra-grumpy with emphasis on security, correctness, and code quality over new features, L2 or large-scale adoption. So grumpy no one wants to participate.

@TuckerGringo Quedó lindo. Pero sabías que el BCRA le choreó la foto a un fotógrafo que inclusive la había registrado y todo? Un plagio de 50 pesos: el misterio del gaucho Rivero en el billete - LA NACION share.google/HmO41ZUyDXeH2z…

@DamianCatanzaro A mí nunca me pasa. Uso @LibreWolf_Brows y @ublockorigin, será por eso?

YouTube, es tanto pedir que me muestres los videos en su idioma original? Me niego a instalar extensiones en Chrome solo para que me muestren de nuevo los títulos en español o ingles segun el video, es ridículo lo que están haciendo, ni hablar de Instagram traduciendo audio.

@kbrewFL Where did you sit? I rode Flying Dinosaur in Osaka and sat in the back row. The experience was absolutely insane — the inertia back there is overwhelming, yet exhilarating. The adrenaline rush hit so hard it felt as if a worm were trying to crawl out of the back of my neck.

HOLY SHIT!!!! Flying Dinosaur was NUTS!!!! There’s actually two pretzel loops on it. This is easily the best flying coaster ever and it’s going in my top 5 all time coasters. And even better… this was my 700th!!!!

@GamevoxPosting Ustedes no están listos para esta discusión

@DamianCatanzaro Pero así y todo hay quienes lo hacen igual. youtu.be/bpvlEbdA6qI?fe…

@DamianCatanzaro Es peligroso, la raspberry pi no tiene la gestión de energía adecuada para un NAS Hacela Firewall o Media Center si querés, incluso nodo pero NAS es otra liga de consumo.

Alguno de acá usó una RaspberryPi para armarse un MiniNAS? Mi idea es ponerle 2 discos de 1tb o 2tb en RAID para tener redundancia en los datos, lo quiero solo para storear y backups, no necesito una gran velocidad de lectura/escritura. Se la bancará? TrueNas o Unraid?

@Perlanocte @m4tuzzalen Ese sería un Subaru Justi

@m4tuzzalen El verdadero rey de la naturaleza (me pongo de pie): el tejón de la miel. Googleen. Se le para de manos hasta a tres leones a la vez. Está loco. Las crías de leopardo nacen imitando su pelaje para evitar que se los coman. No hay discusión. Fin.

Leí a uno decir que los leones son las Amarok de los animales y ahora no lo puedo desver

@DamianCatanzaro Vale 23mil usd. Solo en argentina te cobran 45mil usd el Crosstrek. Es el auto más usado en chile fuera del distrito federal y probablemente el más seguro del mundo para uso en hielo y nieve.

Estuve hablando mucho de autos últimamente pero es porque estuve investigando bastante y llegué a una conclusión, si las automotrices le dieran mas bola al software venderian mas autos, hoy en dia a la gente comun como yo, no a los fierreros, les venden los autos por los specs que tienen, y la mayoria de estos specs son software con hardware que ya tiene el auto. No te cuesta nada hacer una pantalla que no se tilde y ande fluida, o una camara 360 para estacionar, o el crucero adaptativo, son todos sensores que valen 2 mangos y muchos autos lo tienen implementado a nivel hardware pero hacen mal el software. Doy un ejemplo de un auto caro y de buena marca, Subaru Crosstrek, es un auto de 45 mil dólares, miren lo que es la pantalla, la UI es asquerosa, es lenta y ademas de eso tiene reportes de que se tilda. Esta es una de las razones por la que creo que los autos chinos se van a vender cada vez mas, entendieron lo que quiere la gente normal, un auto simple con buen andar y buen software.

I think this has to be the nerdiest book I’ve ever bought! 😂

@lauti_rioss Si. Urawa Red son muy apasionadosDesde la popular de Saitama Stadium contra cerezo Osaka en Octubre del año pasado. Dicen "Dale boh, Dale boh, dale Boke" XD

Estoy fascinado con la hinchada de Urawa Red Diamons, el mejor descubrimiento de este mundial de clubes Los japoneses no paran de alentar y lo viven como si fuesen argentinos.
