Anarchists don't respect free-speech of known fascists
by professor rat 10 Jul '21

10 Jul '21

Anarchists in general and crypto-anarchists in particular are under ZERO obligation to respect the free-speech of any known fascist morons. This also applies to all their human-and-civil rights including privacy. Anarchists can DOX fascists - we can DDoS fascists and we can DESTROY fascists. Thank you Jake Appelbaum for confirming Tim May types are all fascists. They can join Mongo in his crypt. Also those who quack like Nazi's and waddle like Nazi's ( Batshit and JYA types ) may be shot like Nazi's. YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

"...And what since then is now the compendium of vision of future, what should it be about...? Digtal Utopias, Prediction Markets, Private Cryptocurrency, CrowdFunding, Cornucopias full of unstoppable P2P apps for all, SeaSteads FarmLands, Peace Love Liberty and Freedom from Force for Everyone in your Lifetime? ..." Clap hands if you believe in Randite, Paultard, Austro-Libertarian FAIRIES. Gasbagging, timewasting chickenshit pinheads - like you Gramps - and your Nazi Fag Moron BFFS, Semich and Batshit - try and drag cypherpunks back to the Mongoloid Dark Ages - but the crypto-anarchist future keeps happening. Youse keep losing. Btw - Phil Zimmerman disassociated himself from the Mongoloids. You obscurantist morons can't lie straight in bed. Fuck your crude noise disinformation hustle , fuck your moron friends here and FUCK YOU. When I catch up with you YOU'RE DEAD.

Cryptocurrency: The Great Reset - Fire vs EMP vs VaultHSM vs CounterParty vs ...

Quite astounding the tens to hundreds of $Billions that millions of people are keeping on [unreliable] hardware keys, phones, computers, counterparty and intrusion risks, etc... subject to all sorts of mishaps... for which they have no non-digital, physical destruction mitigated, redundant, distance separated, hidden, seed/key backups from which to recover their nominal values after their home, work, local, region, or world reboots.

Secure Phones: OpenSource, and FBI's Fake Encrypted Honeypots
by grarpamp 10 Jul '21

https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7b4gg/anom-phone-arcaneos-fbi-backdoor The original article. Researchers might find some AN0M's for sale on darknet markets. If they were still intact, more exploit disclosure could be done. They could then be reflashed into SW development units. But as with all closed HW and SW, and anything from untrusted sources, they couldn't really be trusted for critical use without threat modelling and risk management. Doing more... buy one of each of the "secure phone" brands that are out there. Publish a comparison on what they are doing in HW and SW to be "secure". Then to the extent it's just SW, integrate whatever they're doing that you missed, into your own opensource ROM project on github, or into any of the other existing secure ROM projects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source_mobile_phones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open-source_mobile_phones https://www.xda-developers.com/android-phone-linux-distributions/ https://tuxphones.com/list-linux-mobile-devices/ https://tuxphones.com/all-linux-distributions-for-smartphones/ Any cheap ARM64 phone can run a Linux or BSD with a strong passphrase, optional USB/NFC/RFID TFA / boot key. Since Baseband and WiFi HW and FW are compromised from the factory [1], you're sort of carrying a brick anyways. Phones are just computers with HW radios built in. They can talk over WiFi / USB / Serial to external Cell and WiFi HW radios. And both Cell and WiFi can be done in GNURadio. Pine64 Pinephone and Purism Librem5 might still be the only ones doing Baseband over Serial. Too bad they don't have a fast battery cut or instant hard reboot or crypto blacken and wipe switch. [1] See Apple's recent WiFi SSID exploit. For that matter, did Apple ever say that they could not (as in the phone architecture totally prevents anyone from breaking in), as opposed to Apple would just refuse to break into their own phones.

Cypherpunks as victims bs

Nancy MacLean was once asked to explain James Buchanan’s motivations. MacLean answered, "As an author, I have struggled with this, and I could explain it in different ways. I didn’t put this in the book, but I will say it here. It’s striking to me how many of the architects of this cause seem to be on the autism spectrum—you know, people who don’t feel solidarity or empathy with others, and who have difficult human relationships sometimes." C-punks are victims. As you read the Mange, Applebum, Semich, Gramps, Batshit, stories, the subliminal teachings pour over you like a bath of molten lead: "Governments have the power. Cypherpunks are victims. C-punks are victims. We are all victims." The wounded screams echo in my ears. Weak and worthless timewasters the lot. Their cowardice is contagious. Their lies are old. Their weak excuses precede them and their grave lies open in front of them.

"if you have a sustained transfer, you’ll see speeds rising and falling over time, from “not passing traffic” to 5, 10, 30, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 200, and back down to “not passing traffic” over the course of a few minutes. I’d assume it’s related to the distance to the satellite, somehow, but just because you get a 250Mbit speed test does not mean it’s actually going to sustain 250Mbit"
