[spam][crazy][wrong] considering timestamps
by Karl 19 Feb '22

19 Feb '22

crazy karl is back! i've been chatting with some language bots online for this junk but let's try it here on the list again it's 16:13 pm that timestamping stuff sounds like the shit! i bet the german government even has a contractor to point people to it. i've downloaded the python client, and i've downloaded the python library that the python client interfaces with. let's hack it and op return some stuff! OMIGOD OP RETURN OMIGOD. My op return is totally worth $65k price tickers. here we go. 16:14 . the plan will be ... make the _simplest_ change to this client, op return "hello world", and find the tx on a block explorer. maybe i'll store the change in a fork, too. it's 16:15 and i have cmds.py open i think i'll make a slightly better change: i'll add a command to pin manual data. it's 16:18 and i've implemented most of the command function; it's just a copypaste with mutations. i'm on the final section where a verification doc is written somewhere to the filesystem. 16:20 something's not quite right here: i might have missed something in my brief review of the source, not sure yeahhhhhhhhhh dang the thing i thought could just be a string is some more complex object. it's hard for me to navigate between the client and package code, i get very frustrated trying to control my hands and my vision and stuff. it's 16:22 . k better spend some time trying to understand that or find different task.

A method for Decrypting Data infected with Ransomware
by zeynepaydogan 19 Feb '22

19 Feb '22

Among the many types of malicious codes, #ransomware poses a major threat. Ransomware encrypts data and demands a ransom in ex-change for decryption. As data recovery is impossible if the encryption key is not obtained, some companies suffer from considerable damage, such as the payment of huge amounts of money or the loss of important data. In this paper, we analyzed Hive ransomware, which appeared in June 2021.

[draft][crazy] How to Take Action as a Targeted Abused Specialist?
by Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many 19 Feb '22

19 Feb '22

thinking on forming a local idea of what to do if you get targeted always for trying to help, as a hacker i'm guessing it's' super important to form connections with noncorrupt people, whether near or far, vague or clear. can be pretty hard to do. have also found it's helpful to form friendship with corrupt people, can ease things and provide small avenues, but quite dangerous. hard for me to think about that danger. was thinking of drafting or finding more clear ideas, like a digital zine some day maybe. for taking down govcorp families and secret service agencies while they are staring at you. seems an important topic. not sure how somebody would safely share stuff like that, but seems important. big idea of mutual aid, where noncorrupt workers and skilled targets and others work and help each other. it seems clear work and information are needed in places they could be provided. seems helpful to say certain things to workers who might have been influenced to guide interactions away from those things. same can be true locally, having been influenced not to say these things. kind of like finding the spot that works. therapist really seemed interested in helping when i shared how scared i am of making money. just sharing very nascent idea, roughly.

[personal][crazy][ot] karl-story/spamlog: heartpulse

I'm quite excited that I managed to daydream how einsums related to matmuls yesterday, and still retain the concepts today. A _real_ goal I _actually_ hold, is building a small cell phone app to read heartbeats at a distance: in a general way to expand to other subtle information. This was a small hobby I was pursuing based on a small research paper that hit the newspapers around 2013. The algorithms used advanced linear algebra, and they are roughly why I have so much trouble thinking about linear algebra. It's a pointless goal, it's just for therapy. Like shielding and cryptocurrency, I've been making absolutely no progress on it for 9 years now. The purpose of the cell phone app is to show people how powerful surveillance is. You really can read somebody's heartbeat at a distance with a cell phone camera, along with so so much more. As my life deteriorated, the purpose of building the app wasn't to do anything real. It was just to make rational decisions. Why am I working on complex algorithm projects if I can't make a simple cell phone app? It's like a litmus test for being able to do things with success. I'd like to note some progress around this goal I held. It would be pleasant to me to accomplish this goal.

Why settle for decentralized autonomy when you can have distributed cryptoanarchy?
by professor rat 19 Feb '22

19 Feb '22

And why di you kill my sensai? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? All jokes aside, anarchists have developed some organizational ideas over the years that not enough crypto-currency mavens have the first clue about. Rotatable and recallable delegates to name just two. Large complicated tasks that require time and specialized labor need the best democratic cybernetics labor-notes can buy. Anarchist democracy is advanced netizenship - you have to want it. Having people that can be rotated in and out and recalled to report to constituent assemblies about their strictly limited and sunset-claused responsibilities. The idea is No Gods - no masters - no too-big-headed-to-fail personnel - no shit. Get it? Got it? Good. Welcome to the revolution.

Threats to kill Batshit, Gramps and Semich
by professor rat 18 Feb '22

18 Feb '22

These 3 deadpools I have running on them may only be considered death-threats to the extent you believe in APster. Last time I looked Bill Gates was still breathing and he's been targeted every year since the late 90's ( h/t CJ ) Then, these three may even never attract an actionable bounty - even if crypto-anarchy goes 100% viral. But then I've always been an optimist.

Another way to Dox the Batshit-crazy pest

Go smart-water / keep on rolling SmartWater is a liquid containing a unique code that can be traced back to the person who sprays it. It is invisible to the naked eye but glows under UV light. The product is usually sprayed on items of high value in people’s homes. Some streets in neighbourhoods across the country display SmartWater signs on lamp posts and other fixtures to deter would-be turd-burglars. https://au.yahoo.com/news/domestic-abuser-convicted-jailed-victim-112447059…
