If things get really bad and they start shutting down centralized messaging services, what are our decentralized options?


Isn't the LN supposed to provide a solution to this?

Have the honour of witnessing all the halvings so far.

Can't wait to see what this one brings:)

Don't you have a nice house? I guess you have. Invite your friend and order make the best mexican food available.

ftfy

Isn't Bawb a Gen Xer? While he may not be an ambitious Boomer, neither is he an Uber-lazy Millennial incapable of cooking for himself.

He could try making some real carnitas, the basis of the best tacos.
____

Cut 4-5 lbs good fatty skin-on bone-in pork shoulder into 3" pieces after removing and reserving the skin. Salt liberally, and fry in enough lard to cover. Don't skimp on the lard.

After it's a nice brown add about a cup of orange juice (preferably fresh-squeezed, 3/4 cup of Coca Cola (preferably non-HFCS Mexi-Coke) and 1/2 cup evaporated milk along with a whole large onion, a few cloves of garlic, the juice of a couple of limes and a herb bundle. Oregano and bay leaves are standard. No cilantro though. That goes on later with chopped raw onions as a condiment. Likewise no chilies. Place skin on top and cover.

After it is back up to a boil, reduce the heat to a low boil (just over a simmer), and cook for at least a few hours (or overnight) until the juices are reduced to a thick gravy, enough to keep the meat moist while basically frying in the lard again. The meat should be super tender and moist, similar to what Americans call pulled pork.

Serve by cutting the pork, a chunk at a time, and some of the skin, into small pieces across the grain and piling on freshly made (or at least reheated) corn tortillas garnished with chopped raw onions, cilantro, pico de gallo, salsa verde (mmm, chili de arbol), etc.

Leftovers can be frozen and reheated by frying in a little of the lard and moistening with a little of the juice. The bulk of the lard can be reserved, frozen and used for your next batch.
___

These are not to be confused with TV-cooking-show/foodie website/Youtube bullshit. These are real Mexican carnitas, cooked the way experienced Mexican mamas and vendors make them.

They're best made in a heavy cast iron pot but a good stainless steel stockpot with a thick enough embedded aluminum bottom will do. Ideally they should be made over an open fire.





Bookmarking this. Looooooooooove me some carnitas. Semi-regularly make it using various recipes - like beer, still looking for that perfect one Wink

If it continues like this by the time my next pay packet comes around, there's a very good chance I'll buy back some of the corn I sold a while back Smiley

Plot twist: your next pay is not coming due to coronavirus-caused depression  Grin

Awww, sheeeeet!

What do you think is the small towell besides the bidet is used for? Of course, that is after you have *perfectly* cleaned it all. .....

I don't think I would touch that...for reasons....

Yeah, I don't think I'm capable of the faith necessary in trusting in the previous users.

It's not a pendulum, it's a cycle. It can't restart before it has either completed or a specific type of event happens that resets it. The "pendulum" does not simply stop at the halfway point and then go in the other direction.
It kind of does. It swings one way until it can't anymore, gradually slows down to zero, reverses its direction and repeats the same action but mirrored, then it resets and begins a new cycle.

It's the same thing, in some sense. If you project circular motion onto any straight line coplanar with the circle, you get harmonic (pendulum) motion.

Thanks. This was what i was trying to say by "looking at the circle sideways" before, but you explained it about 99% better  Grin

Being pedantic, not *quite* true.
With a small swing angle a pendulum closely approximates a sine wave, but this approximation gets worse with larger angles.

How can mounting a USB stick on an AutoRun-disabled VM affect your host's BIOS? Honest question, I want to know.
Don’t lost track of the fact that USB is an acronym for Universal Serial Bus. That device could contain any number of USB endpoints, each implementing a different device class. What if one of the endpoints identifies as a Human Interface Device — for example a keyboard — and injects a number of commands to the system? From the users perspective, invisibly. Or even deeper, a bridge device, giving it access to the underlying I2C bus - maybe even the SMB?
Yeah, but who is going to maintain the discipline required to ensure any potential infection does not spread from the separate PC to others in your stable?

There is the Yubikey which types for you like a USB keyboard. There is that Rubber Ducky, which types like a USB keyboard and can type like it was there at 100 words per second or something as fast as a keyboard will accept, such as Windows-R, CMD, and do any number of commands from the command prompt.

As for virgin clean PC's, I used to (and still do) use something called Deep Freeze, reboot to restore thing. If the host computer it's installed on gets infected, before it can propagate any problems to the rest of the network (assuming you disconnected it physically from the rest of the network), you just reboot, and it's back as new, as if it was never updated.

Most malware is unaware of it's existence. It's great for setting up kiosks that provide internet access through regular browsers. At the end of the session, reboot, it's back to the way it was. If you need to update anything, reboot, turn it off, update, reboot, and it will stay that way.

In theory, it can still be hacked, but in practice it's as if the whole computer is one giant VM. Reboot, and it's back to the way it was yesterday.

If you need to save data or files or documents, you save them on a different drive or partition or folder designated as such. But the rest of the OS, reboot, and it goes back to the way it was.

I recall reading an article where they made a 'flash drive' act like an ethernet adapter and would intercept all internet traffic for a man-in-the-middle attack.

Had a Gox notification that my claim is 'agreed'. 

Seems civil rehabilitation and bankruptcy proceedings are both running.  No news on when anything will be paid out, though.  Next creditors meeting in March.

Claimants should have had a confirmation mail - do check if you are involved.

Had my amount agreed a long time ago though.

Just noticed a fairly significant OPSEC violation in the claims: Have access to all claims, names and amounts!

I'd be a millionaire by now if I didn't keep spending 0.1BTC here, 0.05BTC there on takeaways and stuff over the years.
I like to think I helped the cause.
Though in reality, it probably ended up in the hands of whales :/

If you are in the accumulation phase of your bitcoin, then any spending of bitcoin should be obviously considered as having a replacement (a subsequent buy).

Once you get to your maintenance or liquidation phase, then you are likely to have a bit more flexibility, which might allow you to  consider the size and/or portion of your bitcoin a little bit differently, and surely maintenance means what it's name implies.....

In other words, no matter what phase you are in, you should be considering how you are spending your money in terms of gresham's law, and of course, spending the worse monies first, and if you are really depleting the size of your bitcoin holdings because of spending, then you likely have invested too much into bitcoin....   I am not saying that there is NOT any value in spending bitcoin, and I have spent some and found some value in trying to play around or figure out the bitcoin ecosystem in that direction... ... and so spending bitcoin would merely amount to whatever it's dollar value at the time, and so who fucking cares if it would add up to a $million right now.. because you still have to live, and most people can only stock so much away into investing, anyhow.

Surely, any of us who have the ability or the actual fortune to have an income that is greater than our living expenses should feel grateful to be able to do that, but we are still tasked with trying to figure out our own budgets and figuring out how much to live within our means including the value of deferred gratification, when possible.   So, yeah, it makes way more sense to be living it up with a lot of luxuries maybe including buying cups of coffee when you can make it much cheaper without loss of quality and when you have a lot of extra value coming in versus if you are in a stage of setting up your investments, including if you are in a BTC accumulation stage.

Basically, the situation I'm in is if I didn't have BTC to supplement my income I'd have a very sad life; never eating out, no holidays, no 'nice' things every-so-often.
I'm VERY lucky to have BTC. Very.

Observing $10,140

Only 82 days until the halvening, things are looking good.



I hold LFC personally responsible for the Bart.
119  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 19, 2020, 08:50:01 AM
but then i figure if folks like me we not actually using bitcoin what good is it?

so, no regerts.



Fuckin' a dude.

If nobody uses said commodity for its intended purpose, it is indeed no different from a Ponzi scheme. I can't help but think if there was more people with your mindset, Bitcoin would have arrived to a greater degree within the mainstream than it currently has. However, it is doing just fine, so hodlers HODL on, if you must.

my theory is this: until halving in May 2020 volume on marketplaces will decline because miners and others will hold back their BTC and plan to sell it after halving. they are speculating the price will increase after halving.

so low volume is not good for markets because then markets are easier to manipulate by big fishes.

any thoughts on this?

I would have thought if miners were not selling, the price would go up. Its definitely not doing that.
