I seems like every time I post, the board double posts it!   wtf?

edit: except for this one.  Maybe it has something to do with the way images are handled?

Quite often I've seen it take ages to post something, so I think it isn't working, then I try to refresh and it turns out it did post the previous post anyway so indeed in those cases it always seems to end up in a double posting.

This does happen a lot.

same here. ive left it for a couple minutes sometimes and its still frozen when i return.. then when i do resend it its already posted.

seems to happen more 1st thing in the morning or maybe just after prolonged inactivity of not posting?

I remember a pattern of occasions from about 15 years ago, in which my car (in a carport) kept getting broken into, but part of the problem was that I had continued to forget to hit the lock on the alarm key.. so the fact of the matter was that it kept getting broken into by mere handle testing of some passerby.. and I am not even sure if it was the same person.. but I am sure that there were some occasions in which not too many valuables were taken, and there were other occasions in which I was saying "oh shit, I wished that had not gotten taken from me."

bit OT but where i lived back in the day you just left the car doors unlocked all the time and never left stuff in it overnight. otherwise peeps would bust a window anyway just to open the doors a search.

so let em open it and look. see? nothing here for you. maybe they will even be extra polite and close it after.

That sounds like survivor bias. Many people have never lost their coins, but that doesn't change the fact that many others did lose their coins. I've never needed my seat belt, but that doesn't guarantee I won't need it in the future.

True. But it can help a lot. I'm not installing Wine to run Windows malware.

btw i use hardware wallets and paper wallets for my main stash, core and my phone have spending amounts.
And that's how it should be Smiley As long as you can afford losing it, there's nothing wrong with using hot wallets.

funny you mention seat belts. i wear mine. but not for when i get hit although that reason is a pretty up there. but i wear them mainly to stay in the drivers seat when doing "stupid vapourminer things" like drifts, catching air in the favorite "how high can you get road jump" and stuff like that. as it sure does help still being in your seat to regain control when finally back on 4 wheels. so not sure if thats a good analogy? but off topic so..

survivorship bias is a thing thats for sure. as im living proof with all the seriously serious stupid things that i done lived through that a few friends didnt. RIP my some of old buddies.

anyhow i certainly dont advocate rolling with windows for security stuff for the general peeps with coin. but my results does go to show that if one is careful (and luck has a bit to do there too) you can be fairly safe.

gonna have to get my CP/M rig up. hack THAT

But, back to the same thing, to start this type of attack, the user will need to have at some point something that exposed him to the situation. Many still continue to use pirated OS, continue not to perform updates, not to mention using pirated software. If the person does not meet the basic requirements, no matter what OS he uses, he will be exposed to the same kind of problems.

basically, this. i am truly amazed at how many people run pirated software, and no matter what the OS you will get compromised doing that.

as for the OS yeah linux etc. ive run it. but i still run windows for 90% of my daily driver stuff. as it generally does what i want it.

consider: i have run windows and the same btc wallet (core) since literally 2011 and its run 24/7.  winxp, win7, win10. all running 24/7 with wallet.dat and core and connected to the net 24/7 also. i just move the 2011 wallet.dat to the new install/upgrade when they happen.

AND guess how much ive lost to malware/virus/ransomware: IN 12 YEARS OF A HOT CORE WALLET IN WINDOWS,. ZERO NOTHING NADA ZILCH NEGATIVE

so yeah linux is inherently  "safer" but even windows can be configured to be pretty close.

security all comes down to the person. rarely is it ONLY the OS thats the security problem..

just my observations over 12 years in the space, and certainly not to be taken as The Only Way To Do It., so have fun tearing my "security" apart.

btw i use hardware wallets and paper wallets for my main stash, core and my phone have spending amounts.

I can tell you from direct experience, the first thing about retiring or ending a career that you have to contend with is a loss of identity.

After many decades, a career and a title defines you to both yourself and the people around you. When you retire, you move from "I am an X" to "I was an X". So who am I now? (Of course it doesn't help that your friends and family will treat you differently, treat you like a bum because you are not slaving away at a job anymore like they still are. But that's a different story.)

You are, of course, the same person you were before all the career stuff even began, you just have lost that sense of self.

What helps to make the transition easier is to think of yourself in terms verbs instead of nouns. You are not a title, you are a person who does interesting stuff throughout your life. Instead of "I was a Sr. Project Manager, and now I'm a nothing" you say to yourself "I did project management for a while. Now I do [insert whatever interests or hobbies you have here]."


wut? seriously?

ones identity is tied to work?? 
NO NO NO NO

i always had a life (identity) very separate from work. i didnt socialize with coworkers off work.. well mostly.

im serious. get your real life started.

just retire. period.

The problem is now all the tards know he's a reverse indicator so using him for that now is going to get you burned.

Yes, anyone could solve this puzzle nowadays.

I wonder what percentage of the statistics of the reports are reports on old (more than six months) posts? How will the number of reports decrease because of this restriction? It would be very interesting to see Wink

when i checked my report stats recently there were about ~300 reports and, until a couple months ago, 3 were reported as "unhandled" and iirc it was at 3 for several years. then the other day i reported a post and noticed my "unhandled" went down to 2.

so either some very old report just aged out or some very old report from some ancient post finally got taken care of (not my report specifically, prolly mine is just one of many reports on that particular post).
