This morning, I saw a long test upload of mine had failed. It keeps failing on restart. It calls out to a tool called arkb, but fails with this: Requesting: https://arweave.net:443/tx_anchor Error: timeout of 100000ms exceeded The error shows it is a simple GET request, and happens again when I run the process again. You can see the full error uploaded at https://arweave.net/bxVRcuA4AIDlVqV_Z5L2tW742TQkS4pwxVnw-FZotxA . Meanwhile, if I do the request manually, it's working fine: $ time curl https://arweave.net/tx_anchor t4cNiM_h_U_6lA0DGq5qYSb-vGGp3L7B0K0L74M6f-4LfJNZP2sHfe_nB3M3bQFF real 0m0.564s user 0m0.024s sys 0m0.011s Similarly, uploading the error message worked fine. The failure only happens from a specific arkb upload, and presently is happening reliably. It's frustrating that I see no immediate indication of why the error would occur, and would need to resort to a packet log to properly diagnose it. The call happens within a dependency library of arkb.

He's ignored all comradely, collegial and convivial requests to modify his output downwards so that's why I started a deadpool on him ( and his fellow spammers, Gramps and Nazi ) If cypherpunks can't clean up their own back yard how is crypto-anarchy ever supposed to work world-wide? Money where mouth is - put up or shut up - and TAKE out the TRASH - the worst first.

FEDBOOK as last-line-of-defense

American Edge ads bash policymakers seeking to regulate the Internet as having a “misguided agenda,” or wanting to “take away the technology we use every day.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/05/17/american-edge-facebook… In advertisements and op-eds, American Edge plays on fears about the tech prowess of China, a talking point of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The group also argues, in ominous tones, that new antitrust laws will weaken the American tech sector, hurting the tools used by minority-owned small businesses and dismantling companies that could provide a line of defense against cyberattacks from an increasingly aggressive Russia.

Federal Judge Says Crypto Anonymity a Myth as US Authorities Charge American in $10,000,000 Sanction Evasion

So ' everyone a Mint ' is known and even 'everyone a remailer' -there's an App for that. Cypherpunks Subject: Everyone a remailer: Everyone a Mint: Everyone an assassin https://marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=100872510706876&w=2 APster the killer app Most judges are cops and can die along with them. Then, on top of this soon-to-be, imperfect, modified Brinworld that would be low hanging fruit for any hostile alien invaders such as seen in " Independence Day ", we now see incoming technologies that create cryptoanarchy by default. Ubiquitous quantum and strong AI mean perfect 'species anonymity'. And enough individual anonymity to satisfy the most radical crypto-anarchist. The revolution rolls on creating bounty law - viva la revolution.

Durham's four-year-old nothingburger
by professor rat 17 May '22

A strong conspiracy case usually involves the testimony of a key insider who can verify the government’s theory and narrate events from within the group — explaining how various, ostensibly distinct pieces of evidence fit into a coherent whole and how the disparate actions of participants served a singular objective. Durham’s team, however, has so far failed to persuade anyone to serve as this kind of witness. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/05/16/john-durham-has-already-w… Reposts not endoscopes
