Dear Diary, today is a good day.

Woke up to 75k, my flu that was keeping me in bed for ~5 days is finally wearing off completely.
Next the dermatologist tells me that the ugly stain on my back is no cancer but simply some kind of old men wart (he used a slightly different term ofc). But the best of all was that my visit at the dermatologist was so quick that the parking fee was 0.00. That was truely the icing on the cake today.

Next would be Ross to get the promised pardon, that would even beat the free parking today..

While the candles show the wrong color right now, a new diff ATH seems like a good sign to me:

Damn, even though NexFundAI sounded so totally legit..

The FBI created its own cryptocurrency so it could watch suspected fraudsters use it – an idea that worked so well it produced arrests in three countries.

News of the Feds' currency, an Ethereum-based instrument named NexFundAI...

Things are getting really bad if you can't even trust some random shitcoin copycats..

This is how I understand it.  Do your own due diligence.

All my corn is long term gains at this point. Whenever I sell, I just make sure I set aside 25% for any quarter I sold in.

Also, taxation is theft.

Most taxation is not theft. It is gross misuse of funds by both extremely naive and corrupt individuals.  What's left of the rest is stolen by both groups. But then again let's not ask Germany why their leaders spend hundreds of thousands of euros on "make-up".

You can't make this shit up.

But she really looks cute on a trampoline.. *

A buddy from younger years always told me wrt the software we were selling then:
"Listen, shit will never shine, you can polish that as long as you want, it just won't shine."

can't someone nuke the shit out of this whole middle east region? such a bunch of retard countries, unbelievable.

You need to understand (unless your post was ironic): Nukes were not made for making war, they were made to prevent war.

Or we can say that there can be no winner in such a war - literally the entire northern hemisphere would be burned according to all the simulations that exist. If Iraq or Afghanistan had nuclear weapons, they would never have been attacked - just as Russia would not have attacked Ukraine if, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US had not exerted enormous pressure on Ukraine to surrender its nuclear weapons.

Nobody is going to press a worldwide suicide button. No one would be ready to use something like that.  

I am pretty sure that the personnel in charge of launching those nasty nuke-thingies are well trained and more than ready to do so when told to. I wouldn't rely on the appearance of another Stanislav Petrov the next time a selfless hero is needed to save the world.

In a heated environment like right now, a small mistake can easily set off an unstoppable chain of events.

As we learned in this fine place here only recently, the Russians have a system in place (sistema perimetr) that can launch all their strategic nukes without intervention of a human being. I'd bet big that the Chinese and the US have similar systems as well. Once in motion, there is no back.

There is actually no absolute requirement of some chump in a suit pressing a button to start a worldwide glow-fest.

This could likely escalate more than this if nothing is done.

"There's no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare " -Sun Tzu

It's the (military industrial) economy, stupid.

Sorry, I foolishly said the silent part out loud.

psycodad, it's the illusion that we (each) and our "values" are worth more or more important than the rest.
There can never be peace without respect.
Economy is used as a weapon, too. (I guess that's not really news to you, though)

I disagree. It's always money and power. Remove these two incentives and watch wars end the other day.
Values like in "defending our values" are just distractive slogans to lull the general populace into these wars.
At least for me I can say that my values do not need to be defended in Hindukush (alluding to how it was sold to the germans when they deployed troops to Afghanistan).

was supposed to happen at 8pm UTC has linux bombed world wide or what?

Obviously it was the latter, a bug in cups-browsed:

https://www.evilsocket.net/2024/09/26/Attacking-UNIX-systems-via-CUPS-Part-I/

Insanely overhyped, but now everybody knows the guy and possibly he might get a good hire.

Note: the El Reg article in my original post above has been updated meanwhile.

I'll leave this here uncommented as it is yet not clear if it is actually a desastrous linux RCE bug affecting every single linux machine out there or simply a run-of-the-mill f*ckup in cups-browsed:

No fix yet plus criticalness plus uncertainty plus talk of example exploit equals nightmare

Details about an as-yet-non-public critical 9.9-out-of-10-severity unauthenticated remote-code execution vulnerability affecting all GNU/Linux systems could be revealed today.

..

In any case, linux sysadmins should keep their pagers charged and online (jokes about balls getting blown off accidentally intentionally skipped).

My bet right now is that the guy is hyping his findings up much, but you never know.

Its funny as I only have phone cameras and never watch porn on a phone.

Yeah, fuck that!

Thats what big screens are for!

Couldn't agree more.
When working on small parts, it's truely important to have a big screen.

Totally off-topic: I just finished Imminent by Luis Elizondo.

Very interesting to say the least. It was somehow scary to realize what a f*ckedup mess most probably all governments are.

The information therein makes it absolutely a recommended read. If you do not want it to appear in your amazon account because of reasons, it is available as epub on torrent, given the authors stated motivation for the book I might guess this is fine with him too as long as people actually read it.

In closing let me publicly state that I, for one, welcome our new overlords and am committed to fully cooperate on all levels!
I mean in all seriousness, it can't get any worse than now, so why not let them have a shot at running the shop here..

buddius interuptis

As designated resident smartass I have to intervene!

The correct form would be "buddius interuptus", in the same way that it's not "romanes eunt domus" but "romani ite domum".

It's okay to make slippery allusions or to paint political slogans on walls, but it has to be correct!

@JJG have been thinking a bit about what you said about spending some btc, and replacing it. Looked into some memorable ways of spending my first btc, and came across an island(https://wikitravel.org/en/Big_Corn_Island) I think we all need to visit at some point, it even has a floating Bitcoin bar(https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g612405-d24092796-Reviews-Bit_Coin_Island_Bar-Big_Corn_Island_Corn_Islands_Southern_Atlantic_Autonomous_Re.html)!

Has any one got some good/memorable suggestions for your first BTC purchase?

Will absolutely replace what I spend tho!

Do I get that right, you plan to spend BTC for something just for the sake of spending BTC and plan to later buy it back?

Can't follow this line of thought to be honest. Spending BTC is not fun, it's always painful as you sold always too early. Buying BTC is the fun part.

Again (mis-)quoting JimboToronto with: "Buy if you can, sell if you have to."

My reasoning is more on the utility of btc, wanting to transact in it and learn how to do that. Up to this point I buy, I transact to btc address and thats all great but I haven't sent/sold any for anything physical or a service. So yes your right I just want to spend some for the sake of it, and I 'm asking if anyone has anything memorable they have done for their "first time"

I get the Jimbo quote, only do it when you need to. But when I need to, I need to know how to do it too.


Understood, I see your point now.

It's actually good to see and actually experience things working and as somebody who needs to see things working myself (and stick my fingers into it) I support that view fully.
Though maybe just send some sats around (i.e. between your exchange and one or more of your wallets), no need to spend precious corn for funzies at this point in time (except of course if needed due to lack of dirty fiat as it is my situation - though I use it only for really urgent needs, funzies and luxuries are only planned for next year..).

Impressive move from (most likely) Mossad, placing explosive materials in thousands of beepers/pagers before shipping to Hezbollah terrorists and letting them detonate simultaneously resulting in deaths and many injured.

They had those devices in their pants which means a lot of them lost their testicles yesterday.

Anyone still rocking a pager in the year 2024, deserves to have their....

...eh, too soon?

Obviosuly there has been a new wave of "explosive incidents", this time affecting walkie-talkies and other devices like notebooks, tablets and smartphones.

I guess the worst reaction of hizbullah for bibi would be none at all. He probably has to up his provocations to a whole new level to keep the war going (and keeping him out of prison).

As they obviously removed the markers from the explosives this will pose quite new challenge for the TSAs of this world.

Also this seems to be quite an old trick of shin bet, they just scaled it up a tiny bit this time:

I miss proudhon atm!

One of his "it's going sub 1k soon" posts would be really encouraging and the best signal for incoming reversal.
His total absence or better silence however is very worrying at this point.
