  @BigSeanHarris Except it doesn’t reduce data.. It’s exactly like the patriot act, that was the opposite of patriotic.. And you are falling for it because of all the bots run by LLM’s. Ask grok how many verified accounts support BiP110? And it’s starts to make sense why 0.3% of blocks on average have signaled. As it’s literally about 0.3% of the community that supports the BiP. Please stop letting bots that control what social consensus appears to be, trick you, again. You are falling right into the trap. As Bitcoin is losing usecases, monetary use cases like $2 trillion annually in remittances that are now done one USDT on TRON ffs. Pick your battles wisely, and don’t forget this is a war, not one battle. You fighting a battle against bitcoins own community, bring drama, division to a community that needs to come together and work on adoption and scaling, not censoring things on a p2p censorship resistant network. The ONLY way to stop spam and send a message to prevent it, is to add true formal governance to Bitcoin, aka A Government and Committees of technocrats that actively censor txn believed to be spam. Do you see why that is a bad idea? Do you see some of you fellow bip110’s suggesting this exact thing? Literally making Bitcoin centralized and under the control of one entity that can be summoned to court and forced to censor txn they don’t want to, as bitcoin is for everyone, murders, spammers, big blockers, rap1sts, pedos, dictators, etc.. they can all USE Bitcoin and no one can stop them, but you think a BIP can stop subjective spam? Please step back and think about this please, for your own sake, and for the sake of the community and Bitcoin adoption, success. As growth = adoption = more use = number go up = more mining, rinse and repeat. Yet we are instead focused on keeping growth as low as possible, and did you know that luke and all the bip110’ers that were around during the blocksize wars actively made fun of those spending their bitcoin on good? Literally made fun of for making monetary txns, Luke especially. Riger Ver made a video of a solution that allowed you to pay with bitcoin at any store, and they all made fun of that can joked that it was “PayPal 2.0” and that bitcoin was digital gold and stupid to spend, ie make monetary txns!! Have you asked why they all did a complete 180 on this issue? Because I have yet to see a single one explain themselves.

  You can guess what students did on that final Tuesday. Fast forward to the end of the semester: I still hadn't seen any documentation or user manual, and it was due on exam day (the first day of finals week). A week before the deadline, they told me I'd have it before our 12 PM meeting on study day (Wednesday). I got the email at 11 PM Tuesday after work. I opened the files, got pissed, shut my laptop, played some Xbox, and passed out before midnight. The technical documentation was just one page with almost nothing useful—no database schema, website languages, PayPal details, or registered emails. Just the URL and some unimportant info taking up half a page. The user manual was one and a half pages with maybe five sentences and three pictures with arrows. Zero real explanation on how to use the site.I showed up at 12 PM and waited about five minutes. No one else was there, so I texted the group. No replies. I started fixing the user manual since I'd clearly have to redo it. While working quietly, Damien finally walked in. D: "Did you get the docs?" Me: "Yeah. You guys really think this is finished?" D: "Oh yeah, it should be good to turn in." Me: "I don't know. I think we should add more—this is for our client, and she won't understand it. Where are Jeff and Kirk?" D: "Hahaha, we all got messed up last night after finishing the docs. They're probably still passed out. I'm turning it in tomorrow. If you want to add anything, go ahead, but whatever I have is going in. I think it's ready, so I'm not doing more. I have other classes to study for. I already have an A in this class, and Kirk and Jeff do too, so they don't care."He said the magic words, then left with a flash drive. I went straight upstairs and told Professor Matt everything. I said I didn't want to leave my client hanging—yes, my client, not ours. Matt said he fully understood and even praised me for staying on top of it and protecting the client's experience with our students. He asked why. I told him, "What you're getting tomorrow for 'our' project is completely unacceptable. It's unfair to us and especially to our client." I showed him the website (which he liked) and the terrible docs. I asked for an extra week to finish proper documentation and a user guide—I had a clear plan. Matt agreed, but told me to forget the docs since I knew the site. Just focus on the client .So I created video tutorials with narration, drove to her shop to demonstrate everything and show her where the videos were. I even built a simple desktop program with buttons that opened the exact video she needed, so she wouldn't have to hunt through folders. I gave her my contact info and said I'd be around over the summer if she needed help with the site or anything else. Afterward, I updated Matt, who had his own update. He nearly failed the rest of the group because they slid an unmarked USB under his door. He only accepted it after they emailed to confirm he got it. Matt also called the client, who confirmed I was the only one who ever showed up to meetings. As a result, anyone in my group who had an A going into the project dropped to a C. Anyone with a B failed. Damien's GPA took a hit from this four-hour class. Kirk and Jeff both failed—Jeff couldn't graduate, and Kirk had to retake it next semester. My grade, which was an 84 before the project, jumped to an A. The next year, Damien asked how I did because he was confused about his own final grade. I just said I did fine and got an A. He still has no idea why. Don't mess with me and my grades, and I won't mess with you.

  oh great, latam is in trouble now if these groups start targeting it. The security is laughably bad and so much so that even gov web sites in places like Mexico and Brazil do absurd things sometimes like disabling right click in the browser while also running 5+ year out of date wordpress based apps. I live in Argentina currently and find this a bit disturbing since mercado libre and mercado pago are tightly linked like how ebay and paypal used to be. Mercado pago getting pwned could turn into a major dumpster fire. I see this thing growing in latam in general because the comical security also extends to basically all mobile apps like rapi and pedidosYa(like uber eats) as just two almost obvious examples that almost certainly will get pwned eventually.

  small list off the top of my head. - paypal claims for ppl trying to scam (locks up money for 3-4 weeks) - people being lazy about shipping and waiting days / weeks without sending out the cards I bought - cards getting stuck in transit or looping in the USPS system for weeks with me having nothing to show for my money. (not the sellers fault necessarily) - sending $ and then getting refunded after days / weeks just due to whatever circumstance might come up - people sending empty packages & having to open paypal claims & fight to get my money back (& having my $ locked up for weeks) - people forgetting to add 1-2 cards within the package and then having to track down those cards & then get those shipped in a diff box at a later date. i’m sure there are a few others that i didn’t mention.

  @jordanbpeterson Hopefully the stupid people that think it's bad that Elon Musk became a Trillionaire never gain real power. Think about it, would the world really be a better place if Elon just took the money he made on PayPal and spent the rest of his life a beach somewhere so he wouldn't become a Billionaire or Trillionaire? That is such utter nonsense. Fortunately he wasn't done living and inventing, and instead gambled everything to start Space X, and then Tesla. Either of these companies could have broken Musk, success was not guaranteed. Instead each of these companies changed the world, making it better for everyone. The freedom to succeed to one's potential is one of the things that makes America great.

  So I found the place to sleep at 1:40 at night. Small resting place with the roof. I used the bench to lay down the sleeping bag and hide behind the table. Because on the other side there was a bigger road with the traffic. Time to time it was raining and at 4:20 something someone walked by with dogs and I got up. You can't sleep in the public when people start to walk by. It was cold and it started to rain again. I covered my body with a sleeping bag around me for over an hour before my body was ready to start moving. Then I made hot water to make a 3in1 and tactical food pack spicy noodle soup. Finally the sun was up and the energy went into my body to pack all the stuff. Now I'm writing the posts and warming myself with the sun. I'm ready to start moving and now I need to find a fuel station or Macdonald's to charge my powerbanks. I hope that one of my 25000mah powerbanks isn't broken and can be used again. I also need to find Lidl to recycle water bottles and buy new water. Still little tired but I hope to last one more day. I have no idea how far I will get today. Is it 20km or 80km or 120km. So it's hard to tell where I can stay. But I will constantly monitor the possibilities. And I need to wash my clothes. 58€ on my bank account and 15€ on PayPal. I hope that the bicycle keeps going without major issues. Although rear bike bags zippers are tiered and it is delicate job to get those bags closed. Still thinking about glass engraving and where to stay to make one. It all depends on the weather and the location. And I'm still little disappointed that YouTube algorithms and TikTok are not gaining enough followers. If I don't have more attention I won't have enough support and orders to continue the journey. I'm not sure I will get to Spain. So I reduced my goal to get to halfway at least. To 2500km entering France. Maybe I can keep going until my 40 birthday on 4th of August in France. But even for that I need to make some income. Like 520€ that I need to pay for debt payments before 22 of July. Otherwise my debt payments will be cancelled, my debt raises from 25000€ to 50000€ and my house will be taken away and sold forcefully with the small price. I tried to sell it before my journey but the co-owner stood against me. He told me he doesn't want me to sell this house and the price and conditions he offered where ridiculously low and bad for me. So let's continue!

  Password Safety Passwords are one of the main locks on modern life. They protect email, banking, shopping accounts, medical portals, social media, cloud storage, phones, computers, and work accounts. A weak password is dangerous because it gives attackers an easy door. A reused password is dangerous because one stolen password can unlock many accounts. A password manager can help because it lets a person use strong, unique passwords without trying to memorize all of them. Password safety matters because many attacks do not begin with a genius hacker breaking through a wall. They begin with someone guessing, stealing, buying, or reusing a password. Weak passwords are dangerous because they are easy to guess. Passwords like “123456,” “password,” “admin,” birthdays, pet names, simple Bible references, names with a number added, or common words with one symbol are not strong protection. Attackers do not have to sit and guess by hand. They can use automated tools that try huge lists of common passwords, leaked passwords, names, dates, patterns, and small changes. A password that feels personal to you may still be easy for software to guess. Short passwords are especially risky. The shorter a password is, the fewer possible combinations there are. That makes it easier for an attacker to crack, especially if a website’s password database has been stolen. This is why modern guidance favors long passwords or passphrases instead of short passwords that only look complicated. NIST’s password guidance emphasizes length and screening against commonly used or compromised passwords, while CISA recommends strong, unique passwords and password managers. A weak password also creates a false sense of safety. A person may think, “No one knows this password.” The problem is that attackers do not need to know you personally. They can attack the system. They can use leaked password lists. They can try common patterns. They can trick people through fake login pages. They can use malware. They can test stolen credentials across many websites. Password reuse is even more dangerous. If you use the same password on several accounts, one breach can become many breaches. For example, if a small shopping site is hacked and your password is stolen, attackers may try that same email and password on your email account, bank account, Facebook, Amazon, PayPal, Apple, Google, Microsoft, or other services. This is called credential stuffing. It works because many people reuse passwords. The attacker does not need to break every site. They only need one weak site to expose the password. Then they test it everywhere else. This is why one reused password can become a chain reaction. A stolen social media password can damage your reputation. A stolen shopping password can expose payment details. A stolen cloud password can expose private photos, documents, tax files, and saved information. A stolen banking password can cause financial harm. A stolen email password may be the worst of all. Email is often the master key to your digital life. If someone gets into your email, they may be able to reset passwords for other accounts. They can look for bank alerts, receipts, saved documents, contacts, old messages, and security codes. They can impersonate you. They can send scams to your friends and family. They can lock you out of your own accounts. That is why your email password should be one of your strongest passwords. It should be unique. It should not be used anywhere else. It should also have two-factor authentication turned on. Two-factor authentication adds another layer of protection. Even if someone steals your password, they may still need a second proof, such as a code, app approval, security key, or passkey. The FTC recommends strong passwords and two-factor authentication as important ways to protect accounts. Password managers help solve the biggest human problem with passwords. People cannot realistically memorize strong, unique passwords for every account. So they often make passwords shorter, simpler, or reused. A password manager helps by generating long, random passwords, storing them in an encrypted vault, and filling them in when needed. Instead of remembering fifty passwords, you remember one very strong master password. CISA describes password managers as tools that generate, store, and fill in passwords, and notes that they can warn about weak or reused passwords. A good password manager helps in several ways. It creates stronger passwords than most people would create on their own. It helps every account have its own password. It reduces the temptation to reuse passwords. It can warn when a password has been reused. It can help identify weak passwords. It can make changing passwords easier after a breach. It can also reduce mistakes because you do not need to keep passwords in notebooks, text files, spreadsheets, browser notes, or memory tricks. Password managers are not magic. You still need to use them wisely. Your master password must be strong. You should protect the password manager with two-factor authentication. You should keep your devices secure. You should be careful about fake login pages. You should not share your master password casually. You should choose a reputable password manager and keep it updated. Still, for most people, a password manager is much safer than reusing weak passwords across many accounts. The best password strategy is simple. Use a long, strong, unique password for every important account. Use a password manager to create and store those passwords. Turn on two-factor authentication for email, banking, social media, shopping, cloud storage, and any account that matters. Do not reuse passwords. Do not use obvious passwords. Do not save passwords in plain text files. Do not send passwords by email or text. Do not click login links in suspicious messages. Go directly to the official website or app when signing in. If you have reused passwords in the past, start with the most important accounts first. Change your email password. Change your banking passwords. Change your Apple, Google, Microsoft, and cloud passwords. Change shopping accounts that store payment information. Change social media accounts. Then work through the rest. The goal is not to become paranoid. The goal is to stop making it easy. A strong password is a stronger lock. A unique password keeps one breach from becoming ten breaches. A password manager helps you keep strong locks on many doors without trying to carry every key in your head. Password safety is not complicated at its heart. Weak passwords invite guessing. Reused passwords spread damage. Strong, unique passwords limit the danger. Password managers make that possible for ordinary people. In a world where so much of life is online, password safety is basic wisdom.
