@yacineMTB man, that was always my approach for programming (before ai). “But people get frustrated” so it’s ngmi for u

folks are so obsessed with the "institutionalisation" of Ethereum, trying to drag it into the same exact cages as the old financial system. I fucking reject that guys. Being _and_ staying the outsider is Ethereum's power move, not a liability. Anything that snuggles up to entrenched institutions inherits their rules, their incentives, their surveillance. Look around guys, some chains are already suffocating under it. Ethereum must thrive beyond those walls: permissionless to join, independent, and fearless (this is probably the most important trait these days). Ethereum will win _because_ it refuses to play by their rules.

sent this to the team today everything great comes from being able to delay gratification for as long as possible and it feels like we're collectively losing our ability to do that

Very common millennial experience to have an elderly racist in your life who is proud of you and wants to see you succeed

I had a productive meeting with President Trump this afternoon. I’m looking forward to building more housing in New York City.

I've decided to try to make YouTube videos. They'll be educational and about malware. However, I'll have a slightly different format.
I don't particularly want to produce YouTube videos. I don't like YouTube "culture". But, conversely, I've decided to be the change I want to see in the world.
My grievance with cybersecurity tech YouTubers is over emphasis on applicability. Many of them want to show off their code (sometimes bad code), the latest hacks or exploits, and whatever cool "hacker tool" is popular at the moment. I think this is disconnected from reality and doesn't accurately illustrate the beauty of malware (or hacking, whatever).
What drew me into malware initially was the "ideas" behind malware. There is something so amazing about process injection, or maintaining persistence on a machine. Yes, we in cybersecurity are hyper aware of these concepts, but when I was younger and new to the field, I was in absolute awe these things were possible.
Hence, I want to take a Sam O'nella Academy approach. I don't plan on showing my face because nobody gives a fuck about my face (or rather, you shouldn't give a fuck about my face). I don't intend on showing a dumb staged setup with LED lights and expensive gadgets to give the facade of a techy. I intend on making straight forward, comical, playfully hyperbolic, videos which explain malware concepts from a high level.
I want to explain WHY malware does the thing it does. I want to explain challenges people face. I want to explain WHY things are the way they are now or historically.
I want you to sit down, plop your ass in front of the computer (or phone), and watch a silly video of someone explaining WHY and HOW malware does what it does WITHOUT looking at code. I think if someone can see the beauty behind these concepts they will be more compelled to do more. If they are not compelled to do more, at least they can have an appreciation for malware researchers (offensive and defensive).
Malware is a lot of fun to me. It's going to sound cliche, and corny, and dorky, and lame, but I think it's beautiful. I LOVE malware. It's my heart beat. I also love anti-malware software. The way they fight back and forth is like a song and dance to me. The going back and forth, the evolution, the repetition, the cat pictures.
I want to produce something where I can show this to others as well in simple terms. I want people to see what I see when I think of malware.
People want to discuss the "big" malware like Stuxnet. Yes, Stuxnet was cool, but Stuxnet is a drop in the bucket. There is so much more cool malware that exists. I want people to look at something as common as Information Stealer malware and understand WHY it does what it does and see the beauty in it just as much as you see beauty in something like Stuxnet
tldr I'm a massive nerd and I want to show why malware is cool and badass

In like, 2020 I read this paper from 2006 about a malware keylogging idea. It was briefly discussed on forums and some cybersecurity conventions.
No one ever produced code for the idea.
Every few months I return back to the idea and poke around for a bit.
I have no idea why I've been obsessed with this idea for FIVE FUCKING YEARS. Regardless, today after poking around some more I think I finally figured it out.
