I believe that anything that is not voluntary is coercion. This makes me a voluntaryist in earthly terms and an alien on Earth, where coercion is normalized. #Monero: 86VSR7QowFkiqxsvZrW9w6B1WLtCBpQEgjFVWW1sCyHE14ivHXfZoAeQWpGn5EKbcs4Z3sV5T2Vfie5bY5pSykg97vJXpRA

#Monero has waited two weeks for Anthropic’s OSS Scanner with ZERO response. Algorand was opened and merged in 19 hours! (same license issue on both). Monero is one of the most important privacy projects ever built. If you believe privacy is a human right and that the rules should apply equally, speak up! image

Around a dozen banking apps have begun specifically permitting GrapheneOS in addition to Google-approved operating systems, and the number is growing. Examples include AmeriCU Credit Union (US) and Switzerland’s UBS & UBS key4, which officially(!) support @GrapheneOS There's a good crowd-sourced list based on ongoing user reports: image h/t

image 2014 DHH: "We need anonymous currency just as much as we need private, encrypted communication. Security state regimes will get worse before better." "What I'd love is a truly anonymous currency that can be used like cash online, but with the same limitations. No buying a house in cash." "The tragedy of Bitcoin as a get-rich-quick bubble scheme is that the world DOES need an anonymous currency!" 2026 DHH: No results for "Monero from:dhh" Try searching for something else

If you don't belong to the blissful "nothing-to-hide" crowd, the state of security rn is genuinely terrifying. (a good site that keeps track of things: https://pwn.watch/) Every timeline currently looks like a cybersecurity forum :)) e.g. main page of StasherNews: - Security vulnerabilities discovered in the last 24 hours. - Several Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities Accidentally Posted To Public Mailing List - What's getting pwned right now - [PSA] XmrBazaar will be taken offline as a precaution due to critical PHP vulns image

The Shirky principle is the adage that “institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution” or “every entity tends to prolong the problem it is solving”. image An example of the Shirky principle are tax-filing companies who lobby the government to prevent it from offering a free and easy way to file taxes, to ensure that the companies can continue to make a profit. A similar example of this are private prison companies who lobby the government to support policies that increase the number of incarcerated people and the duration of their incarceration. One real-world example of the Shirky effect in this context is the cobra effect. It describes a case where British colonial officials in Delhi (India), set a bounty on dead cobras, in order to reduce the cobra population. However, this led citizens to breed the cobras for profit, and eventually to release them when the bounty was canceled. image ~Library StasherNews discussion:

Filippo Valsorda (Go cryptography maintainer and age author) just updated the Cryptographic Right Answers for the post-quantum era. Basically: stop inventing your own protocols, hug the hybrids before the harvest-now-decrypt-later crowd cashes in, and that symmetric crypto is still mostly fine. A clean, no-nonsense checklist for people who want their data to stay theirs past 2029. image Fun morning coffee read and really worth reading even if your OPSEC currently consists of "hope nobody looks too hard" :)

Nitter: Update Oct 10th seeking funding and legal help! X Corp sent C&Ds on Aug 24 & Sep 8 demanding permanent takedown of all Nitter instances + the repo. The Sep 7 update claiming legal representation was based on false assurances: no counsel in place rn. zedeus on HN: "I was misled by an individual who claimed to be helping the Nitter project pro bono with a team of lawyers. He made up a timeline of events that sounded mostly believable". image Looks like a bad-faith actor already tried to insert themselves into the situation: They're seeking real funding & legal help now!
