I didn't know EXIF stored Wi-Fi/network data too. Sneaky bastards!

Afaik they use the WiFi or even mobile data to find out your possible location. So "only" location info is saved, no matter how (in)accurate, not actual network details.
The common sense photo apps (at least on my phone) usually have a setting to (dis)allow "location tags".

but who knows what could be hiding inside the picture file... There's also the possibility of using steganography, which encodes data in the actual pixels (small, deliberate modulation of the R, G, B channels and other image data, imperceivable to the eye, but capable of carrying information). You can't escape the matrix, or so it seems.

This is a bit too paranoid imho. I mean, there are so many images on the internet, it would be near-impossible to search all of them for that small hidden info.
And if you expect some not-visible info is stored there you can always open the image, resize to smaller (so the not-visible info may get lost between surrounding pixels), printscreen and crop the new image, and publish that one. It's not much extra work after you already open the image to remove EXIF.

I've only unset the location info and I know (I've checked multiple times) that the GPS field is empty. The rest of the info... let'em have it, I don't care.

Apparently, the WO is fulfilling the function of OpSec testbed and discussion. Some of the best geolocators I know, all of which have at least some skin in the game, gathered in one place exchanging ideas and test pics.

I use a 10 year old canon camera to post here.

 the downside is 4000x3000 is best photo quality.  the upside is no data.

LOL, you dox yourself on a daily basis.

Of course I am doxxed already via ebay account.

It did not matter years ago and I so believed in btc that when I was promoting it via sales on ebay I made a decision to be open and transparent.

My fault was that I used btc for payments and never put much aside for hodl.

Just look at my old address  it handled over 600 btc in business deals.


1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje my old profile address

https://btc1.trezor.io/address/bc1qmu9aky8nfqt7jrcp8pmzav5aurc5tj29w3y3d5


And my ebay account did a few million dollars in sales.

I supposed I could use an old spare account to post which would make opsec.

Not to worry as so far btc never reached numbers big enough to matter. As I waited too long to go the route of hodl.

So the 2-4 million that was possible for me is around 200k-300k.

Although adding a third coin  this is is possible.

I SUPPOSE I COULD HALT THIS ACCOUNT and go to a different account which I do not use.

If I ever talk my wife into moving maybe I will try opsec.

Yes, it's a shame you can't exclude location data from smartphone cameras. I haven't bought a new DSLR in ages, but maybe you can't also on GPS-equipped models, so i hope one can turn off GPS on them (would save a lot of battery, too).
Even if you turn off GPS on smartphones, there's something like network (and wifi) based location, which is unprecise to say the least, which is probably also getting stored as EXIF data.

I'm pretty sure on Android, it's an option but it's one of those on or off things and once you switch it on, there are no reminders. I recall being asked when I first used the camera. It should definitely be a bigger part of the UI as there are times when it's certainly useful.

New month brought new lows.
My sell order still unfilled.
What was I thinking?

Monroe was for looks,
But for IQ, it's Savant.
Two sweet Marilyns!

Saylor is selling.
Wait, what? 32 bitcoins?
OMG, we're doomed!

Cycles come and go.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc.
Yet, it will survive!

2034.
One million dollars per coin.
Too fatalistic?

Tor, Whonix, Mullvad.
Then, a stupid cat photo,
And, poof, OPSEC gone!

Walls are rising high,
Auroras light up the sky,
All stars, but no moon!

Noooo, there is more upside. High resolution image sensors are lacking sharpness (at the cost of noise) but the necessary in-camera sharpening (or in post-production if you process raw image data) is also adding noise in the process. The bigger pixel size also lets you gather more light per pixel than more recent, higher resolution sensors with the same size. I find that older sensors produce sharper and overall more color neutral pictures than newer ones, and there are other benefits of some of Nikon's sub 8-Mexgapixel sensors in the upper infrared wavelength area, which produce more vivid false color IR pics than recent ones, which deliver more sterile looking "chromey" results with near-infrared filters. Above 820nm it's monochrome, but regarding false color IR newer is actually worse.

I once had a stock Nikon D70s for IR, which got me very nice, vivid pics with its weak IR-block filter, which emphasized the colors at the cutoff point, because it allowed to gather lots of IR at shorter exposure times (2-4 secs). You can't compare that to my current, IR-converted Canon EOS-M, which is much faster at 1/30 secs and below in the same daylight situations, but too much of the color gets lost to deliver much "colder" looking pictures.
I am still pretty annoyed about myself remembering that i destroyed that Nikon in a meltdown...

I bet your 4000x3000 pixels camera can rival many modern smartphones in lens and image quality.

It's just that it's so much easier with a phone. And that's exactly what they want us to feel.

They can just do stuff you can't do with a smartphone.
And all those lenses you can use are the cream on the (ole) pie.


Back to business:

Bitcoin shows weakness
That's just part of the cycle
It will rise again

Nice effort to find that, but according to what I've read, if you downsize the image 4x on both sizes, the relevant dots are most probably lost beyond code correction.

That is the beauty of the WO. It attracts a unique mix of minds, from macro analysts to geolocation experts. It has naturally evolved into a high level think tank where people test their skills and exchange serious ideas, far beyond just standard market chatter.

MSaylor wrote a philosophical piece on bitcoin here:

https://x.com/saylor/status/2062853047991103638

This paper describes four major Bitcoin ideologies:

    Bitcoin Maximalists
    Bitcoin Capitalists
    Bitcoin Technologists
    Bitcoin Fundamentalists

Which brand are you?
For me-a 50/0/20/30 mix...well, maybe up to 5% for the second item and then 25% for the last.
I am somewhat of a mosaic (genetic mix)
