No te confíes mucho de las máquinas virtuales porque con los recientes fallos de seguridad en los procesadores, han habido fallos teóricos que permiten la ejecución de código arbitrario en el anfitrión desde el huesped, o que desde un huesped se vea la memoria del otro.

Probablemente no sea malo pero trata de evitar software inseguro en la misma máquina física.

It's not a driver problem

With the laptops i have used, simply having the external monitor plugged before you turn it on was enough to make it display the bios etc. After that its the OS that handles it.

Newer laptops i'm not very sure. Sometimes you can see a monitor logo in one of the keyboard keys, and use fn that to cycle internal/external/both (and some default to NOT use the fn key, whatever).

If you manage to get into the bios you might see a similar option as well.

What do you like better? The way Firefox highlights a word when you double click on it? Or the way Pale Moon does? And why?

Look at the sentence, below, and notice that the space after Firefox is highlighted along with the word, but the space after the word Pale isn't. Firefox does it the way it is done for Firefox, below. But Pale Moon does it the way it is done for Pale, below.

The sentence:
Is Firefox better than Pale Moon?

Which way do you like it better, and why?

Cool

Neither. Use Waterfox.

Yes Firefox is bloated and full of garbage like chrome/chromium (you'd need ungoogled-chromium).

But Palemoon and Basilisk (same author) are NOT the answer. The author is a moron, who discriminates TOR users, accusing them of pedos. To such a short minded person, the idea of protective anonymity, whistle-blowing, or simply evading government censorship does not exist. They HAVE to be pedos, not unlike those that think Bitcoin has to be for criminals only...

In short, stay away and use Waterfox, pretty much a sane Firefox without the developer being an ass. If you add the Classic Theme Restorer add on you can even have a sane interface too! Oh and it supports the giant library of earlier addons that were made incompatible by later Firefox versions (it also supports the newer kind). They have their own archive backup of the mozilla addons repository since they removed the old ones.

Waterfox has been my main browser for years.

The double click highlight is something OS (gui) related, no such thing on Linux (Xorg)*. Plus in xorg the selection is already copied and can be pasted with the middle button (which tends to be a wheel nowdays).

You still have ctrl c and ctrl v as a secondary option. You cannot imagine how useful is too have two separate memory buffers at your disposal.

*Why xorg and not just linux? Because xorg works with other OSes, even OSX, but most notably the BSDs. Besides Linux is only a kernel the gui is actually Xorg (could be Wayland, but that's another newfangled thing). Well formally its name is something like The X Window System.

I never understood why grow meat in lab is good idea.

Let farmers grow the animal in natural way. Then slaughter the animal, get the meat. Or take a shotgun or rifle, kill the animal in wild and get the meat and trophies. Veganism is for pussies and gays.

No, the real hunters don't use firearms. Besides the lead taints the meat...

As for OP, i won't be so funny if he/she catches "felicidad" for real, to become "infelicidad".

There is no hacking it, you either become infected or not, if infected you either survive it or not. What will it be, we cannot know.
1766  Local / Español (Spanish) / Re: puedo recuperar mi bitcoin? on: March 14, 2020, 09:54:33 PM
Hola tengo una wallet ej: 1GahpXhGRjVPyQu1t5gZHvXu7mN1aghcGR con 0.1385 btc

tambien dispongo de un password me dice que es de bitcoin.org lo que pasa es que no tengo las palabras clave si que tengo un password pero no palabras clave.

Podria recuperar las palabras clave de alguna forma?

Podria vender esa cantidad de btc?

Gracias por el posible soporte

Ese password solo sirve si tienes respaldo de la cartera (el famoso wallet.dat si es Bitcoin Core).

Las palabras semilla, son mucho pero mucho mas importantes. En si mismas, son el respaldo. Por eso también deben protegerse muy bien, anotarse a mano en papel sin que ningún dispositivo digital pueda verlas, etc.

Normalmente cuando se crea una cartera, lo primero que te va mostrar son las palabras semilla, de ellas se deriva la llave privada que el usuario nunca ve.

Como han comentado otros, bitcoin.org no tiene carteras en línea, pero tiene enlace a varias otras carteras para descargar y usar. La original es la llamada Bitcoin Core, y una "liviana" muy popular es Electrum. No es recomendable crear o manipular carteras en sistemas operativos inseguros como Windows. Recomendable siempre es usar Linux o BSD para tratar asuntos serios como el manejo de dinero en la PC.

Ya cuando lo vi en 6000 comencé a recomendar a la gente que lo compren, ahora en 5400 está aun mejor. Si, luego de que se recupere la cosa y el mundo supere el corona virus, estas inversiones (para los sobrevivientes) habrán valido la pena.

Y si baja un poco mas, no desesperarse. Que volverá a subir luego, solo paciencia y aguante (keep calm & hold).

Discrepo.... de echo instalé exodus en otro pc y recuperé la billetera con las 12 palabras para mover los fondos que me quedaban de monedas de poco valor (hice eso por que mi pc estaba comprometido y no quería volver a utilizar exodus en el por que no sabía que había pasado) y los movimientos del robo persisten, es más cuando me robaron estaba exodus abierto y en el dashboard y empezaron a aparecer avisos en la parte superior derecha de los movimientos que se hacían, si fuera control remoto tendrían que entrar en las wallets de las diferentes monedas y hacer las transferencias poniendo direcciones y todo eso que se hace cuando envías fondos, a demás.. mira esto:

Billeteras Exodus & Neon Wallets: “muy vulnerables” para los hackers

Yo pienso que deberías usar Linux y otras carteras. Cuando manejas dinero de verdad en la PC, la inseguridad de Windows es sencillamente inaceptable.

Linux no será perfecto, pero es bastante mas seguro (por defecto) que Windows. Aunque trabajes mucho para intentar asegurar un Windows, nunca vas a lograr la seguridad de un Linux o BSD bien utilizado. Puede ser una barrera, pero es importante atravezarla. La otra alternativa sería una hardware wallet, pero solo para montos pequeños (montos grandes siembre deben ir a una cartera fría).

Esta impericia te costó €2500, en el foro hay casos con pérdidas de millones de dólares, y yo conozco uno que perdió 400mil por este mismo problema.

Así que el asunto no termina con evitar esas carteras. En general lo ideal es evitar todo tipo se software que no sea libre y de código abierto, especialmente carteras y el sistema operativo donde operan. Por supuesto hay mas, es toda una disciplina.

En general la "PC segura" debería ser aparte de la pc de entretenimiento. Esto la gente no le toma la seriedad necesaria. Con Bitcoin tu eres tu propio banco, así que espera ataques como se lo hacen a los bancos. Es lógico que van a buscar robarte, ya no estás jugando. Muchos de estos robos ni siquiera son dirigidos, sencillamente hay programas en la red buscando victimas al azar con software inseguro al que le pueden explotar fallos de seguridad.

Los ataques dirigidos son todavía peores, por eso la gente busca de mantenerse lo mas anónima posible. Puedes ser millonario, pero no lo aparentes...

Si, bueno tu decide si vale la pena la mano de obra y el tiempo en modificar las controladoras, o comprar mas contraladoras y ya. Los mismos que venden hashboards frecuentemente venden las controladoras, algunas no les funciona el almacenamiento interno (NAND flash) pero con BraiinsOS las pones a funcionar directo desde una memoria SD. La gente que no sabe las bota (literalmente)...

Ojo si la nand flash está buena, le puedes instalar el BrainsOS y no depender de la memoria SD.

Es realmente alarmante toda esta situación, España es un país que tiene un sistema hospitalario y de atención muy avanzado en comparación con Venezuela, hoy se acaba de confirmar que en Venezuela hay 2 casos de Covid-19 en Miranda, muy cerca de la Capital , fué proveniente de un vuelo de Europa, también hay posibles casos en San Cristóbal que está en Frontera con Colombia, supuestamente hay 3 casos en el Hospital Central y otro en una clínica, ( No aún confirmado ), es realmente fuerte porque Venezuela no está nada preparada para afrontar un tipo de desafío como este.

Quote
Rodríguez explicó que los dos primeros casos corresponden a una venezolana de 41 años que había viajado por Estados Unidos, Italia y España y a un hombre de 52 años procedente de este último país. Ambos son originarios del estado de Miranda.

Fuente: https://www.clarin.com/mundo/coronavirus-venezuela-confirma-primeros-casos-suspende-clases_0_rFFxRvVs.html

Muy tarde y mala la reacción gubernamental (como siempre). Maduro decretó en emergencia el sistema de salud nacional y luego el "estado de alarma" (art 338)... Pero ayer mismo la gente en la calle como si nada, rumbeando y todo. Hoy se ve gente en la calle también, transporte público (los autobuses) full gente, etc. Adivina que Estado (para los extranjeros: La mitad de Caracas está dentro del estado Miranda).

Se suponía que ya era el momento del toque de queda y el cierre de todo lo no esencial por dos semanas al menos en caso que aparezcan mas casos y aislarlos.
1771  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Can Coronavirus hurt Trump in the upcoming US elections?. on: March 14, 2020, 08:38:29 PM
Does the Stock market fall in this sitaution, potentially wiping out all of the gains that Trump has taken credit for in the last 3 years? If so, then MAYBE.

S&P 500 is still up but only ~10% since Trump's inauguration and we're officially in a bear market... it's very likely we'll test your "maybe". Although it started going rapidly up in the last few minutes for reasons yet unknown.

Meanwhile, if we take the title of the thread literally: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/12/coronavirus-brazilian-official-who-met-trump-tests-positive.html

My next portion of that expained that if the administration is able to show that they're doing everything they can do to combat this -- then Americans may not be so quick to blame the administration for inaction and may understand that.

But I don't think thats what happening now. The Media has said that Trumps response to the coronavirus isn't good enough and that they're not doing enough to combat this. This is going to make people VERY VERY angry.

So yes, we're putting my MAYBE to the test. We'll only know in November of 2020 Smiley

When did that Brazilian met with Trump? On average you would need to wait 11 days afterwards.

Remember 9 - 11?  The US quickly stopped ALL air traffic, the exact same thing should have been done, but they haven't. This is one reason they failed to contain it properly. Trump is only "considering" now to halt "some" traffic, but that is not how this works. To be really sure, you have to stop ALL (yeah, North Korea style), then wait two weeks, isolate & treat any cases and wait two more weeks.

Done properly you could then lift it. But, NONE of the countries did this properly, China kinda did but a month too late and it of course escaped the country. What people have a hard time grasping, is those 11 days on average you get infected but show no symptoms. By the time you recognize the symptoms, you have already spread the virus to many others the previous two weeks.

And with the infections also come the deaths, then come the lamenting why they didn't act. Hey, you had this coming since January and even now, you are still letting air traffic. would have been easier if a terrorist hijacked and crashed another plane, it would probably saved more lives too...

See? Politicians. He had the power to stop all air traffic, but didn't. Its too late now.

1773  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's price, and mental health. on: March 14, 2020, 07:59:19 PM
It's that time again, where bitcoin(and pretty much almost every other non-stablecoin cryptocurrencies) does a huge nosedive. This is just a reminder that whatever amount you've "lost" with the market  crash, in the end, it's just money. Money can be made back in the future through multiple various ways, whereas you have only one life to live. It's not the end.

Whether you're invested in bitcoin, whatever altcoin, or even the stock markets, if you've been having suicidal thoughts, please think twice and try talking to a professional.

For the suicide hotline for the country you're in, please refer to this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines

Times like today are so reminiscent of the last market crash whereas suicide-related posts and suicide hotlines are popping out on multiple crypto-related subreddits. But yea, this might be cheesy as hell, and while a lot of people here have been here since like forever(hence are probably immune to the effects of these crashes at this point), but if this saves one person it's well worth it.

Happy trading and investing!

You do not lose anything unless you panic sell. If it is your own money, all you have to do is wait for the crisis to be over, i'm sure things will eventually return to normal (for bitcoin anyway).

Margin trading in another matter entirely, but people not using margin have nothing to worry. A good margin trader knows to set up stop loss and such things.

From 7.5k to 10k and back to 5k. Nothing to worry, it'll go back up eventually. Worry more about surviving the pandemy.
1774  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would a (bicycle) merchant go about accepting bitcoin? on: March 14, 2020, 07:53:33 PM
Actually the simplest method (might not be legal in some countries) is for the shop owner to get his/her very own bitcoin wallet. As simple as that, a mere p2p transaction.

For legality maybe he/she could use his own fiat to make accounting happy, just make it look like he/she is giving a gift from his/her own pocket, no one really needs to know he actually got bitcoin.

To do it formally it depends on each country's regulation.

To make some dollies on extremely volatile, classic, cash grabbing, roulette-like, FED(fake) stock market.
Change my mind  Cool

There's nothing changing on the Bitcoin side. Bitcoin is still a revolution for human life. But the age of others is slowly closing.
Cryptocurrencies have a purpose, vision. (not all) This still makes me think the potential is high.

Well that sounds logical, everything is cheap right now some could have sold their bitcoin to buy cheap stock, assets etc, then when the market recovers they sell and buy back bitcoin or whatever.

But if you happen to have a lot of fiat, currently bitcoin is also very cheap to buy, such an opportunity does not come often. If you survive the virus, that is.

1778  Other / Politics & Society / Re: WHO declares Global Pandemic. How bad is it? on: March 12, 2020, 09:43:07 PM
The hospital I predominantly work in, and our local network, are currently prepping hard for what is to come in the few weeks. The reports coming out of Italy are tragic. Hospitals at 200% capacity. 10% rate of admission to intensive care units. All elective work cancelled. Patients being ventilated in operating rooms, in corridors, in store cupboards. Anywhere there is space to put a bed and a spare ventilator. Anyone over the age of 65, or with significant comorbidities (cancer, previous transplants, heart failure, severe diabetes) is not even being assessed by the critical care team. Read that again. It's not that patients over 65 are being turned down for admission to intensive care - they aren't even being considered, seen, assessed. They get an oxygen mask, and that's it. If they deteriorate, they are palliated. All the resources are going to the young and fit, and even then, hospitals can't cope.

Many countries are on identical trajectories to Italy, just delayed by a few weeks:

Even if you are still think this is "just the flu", it will completely flood your local healthcare systems for weeks to months. A lot of people are going to die from a lot of unrelated conditions because there is nowhere to care for them and no-one to look after them.

Just wait until reports start coming from countries with poor healthcare systems (like mine); You think Italy is bad? At least they had something to work with...

It was probably the same thing in China and Iran, it was simply that information from those countries are hard to come by. Now we see the very same thing happening in the United States and Spain and many others. But at least all those "first world" countries do have some functional healthcare system.

The world was unprepared for this, worldwide protocols to contain and mitigate a new virus simply do not work good enough. Many of us are on our own, literally: no medic, no medicine, no oxygen mask, no nothing. Maybe a prayer, maybe.

I'm sure some Machiavellian minds are already considering the benefits of reduction in world population, especially the elderly. But that's what you do when your resources are limited: Prioritize.

Be thankful, at least you still have some resources to allocate, and try not to become a patient too...
1779  Other / Politics & Society / Re: If you could change one thing about America, what would you change? on: March 12, 2020, 09:29:44 PM
End The Federal Reserve. It is the most heinous criminal organization that has caused more human suffering, loss of life, and wasted toiling and effort than any organization that has ever existed in human history.

That would need to also end fractional reserve banking and abandon the Chicago school of economy and embrace the Austrian school. The Austrians want gold as currency (not a fiat backed in gold or bank notes, but actual gold coins). But we now have Bitcoin, which is a good substitute.

Of course switching to the Austrian school mentality implies changing many (bad) habits, such as getting in debt rather than save to buy/invest.

In short, yes: just embrace the Austrian school. Teach about Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, Huerta de Soto, and friends.
The question was about America, but its equally valid for All the World.

Of course, the bankers would not tolerate such a thing, which is why the status quo remains...

If banks were forced to play with full reserve rules, no national reserve would be needed, but they would shrink inevitably. Under those rules, you can still let them loan your money, but during the loan that money becomes unavailable to you. Also, if you don't allow it, logically you have to pay the bank to keep your money safe, not the other way around... Remember, with money that doesn't lose value overtime, the need for banks shrinks. Unfortunately gold is a bit too risky to keep around: Enter Bitcoin.

If you still have fears of deflation, you have yet to read the Austrians. Don't fear it, it works, and beautifully too; its simply slower to growth, but bubbles an crashes are no more. Read and recommend others to read Austrian economics, its free online: https://mises.org

I will be trying to update this thread with some news about how the coronavirus (COVID-19) is affecting people around the world

12th March 2020:

- Ireland: all schools and colleges closed
- Spain: death toll in Spain increases from 47 to 84
- Spain: La Liga football games suspended for two weeks
- US actor Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson test positive for coronavirus in Australia
- Tennis: ATP Tour postponed ALL play for six weeks


More updates will be added..

I saw the Spain president talking and they suspended anything were crowds could gather, such as theaters, museums etc; its not just football.

In Venezuela Maduro declared a national health emergency and stopped flights coming from Europe and Colombia; also any events with crowds are forbidden (conveniently today was another opposition gathering, but who cares).

Colombia declared national health emergency
Ecuador declared national health emergency
El Salvador declared Orange Alert
Bolivia declared national emergency
Panama declared national emergency
