" Coderpunks ' may have deceased about 20 years ago. Be aware the walking dead. The Bitcoin Whitepaper was first released on the cryptography mailing list run by computer security expert, Perry Metzger. https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptography/comments/9f8ov7/the_cryptography_mail… Metzger took up where Coderpunks left off and sites like his are where all the Pinhead Nerds belong.

Cypherpunks are not Coderpunks
by professor rat 26 May '22

26 May '22

Cypherpunks discuss crypto-anarchism - Coderpunks delve into technicals of how to deliver that ( or possible coding dangers ) Its like the difference between political-economy and municipal engineering. Occasional overlapping posts are inevitable - and provided in good-faith - essential. Regular streams of coding-related material here though must eventually be regarded as an attack. Especially when they continue after repeated warnings to cease and desist. I don't know why Karl Semich hates our anarchist freedoms. But the remedy is clear. And an APster DDoS is always final.

Sedition, domestic terrorism, & a murder plot. Maybe Trump should be an honorary cypherpunk.
by professor rat 26 May '22

26 May '22

" When c-punks are called terrorists we will have done our job " Old proverb " . . . Trump, in his capacity as President of the United States, called for the death of the Vice President. It doesn’t matter that the military advisers or secret service agents in the room would never have acted on this. It only matters that Trump said it. It also matters greatly that Trump said this while watching a domestic terrorist attack whose specific goal was to murder Pence – as evidenced by the gallows the attackers put out front. . . ." ( Dubious source. Discuss )

Lumos System Can Find Hidden Cameras and IoT Devices in Your Airbnb or Hotel Room
by jim bell 25 May '22

25 May '22

https://thehackernews.com/2022/05/lumos-system-can-find-hidden-cameras.html A group of academics has devised a system that can be used on a phone or a laptop to identify and locate Wi-Fi-connected hidden IoT devices in unfamiliar physical spaces. With hidden cameras being increasingly used to snoop on individuals in hotel rooms and Airbnbs, the goal is to be able to pinpoint such rogue devices without much of a hassle. The system, dubbed Lumos, is designed with this intent in mind and to "visualize their presence using an augmented reality interface," said Rahul Anand Sharma, Elahe Soltanaghaei, Anthony Rowe, and Vyas Sekar of Carnegie Mellon University in a new paper.
