    very same factories that produce consumer goods with a profit incentive today, can do the same for the benefit of the people tomorrow.

    Yes. Until everyone ends up in poverty, because over time, nobody knows what to make and how much. The longer the supply chain the stronger the effect will be.

    How would a public get a voice? The government would have a voice.

    Why do you see a unified image when you open your eyes, even though each part of your visual cortex has access to only a small part of the world? What is special about the wrinkled outer layer of the brain, and what does that have to do with the way that you explore and come to understand the world? Are there new theories of how the brain operates? And in what ways is it doing something very different than current AI? Join Eagleman with guest Jeff Hawkins, theoretician and author of "A Thousand Brains" to dive into Hawkins' theory of many models running in the brain at once.

  • Why does the media print rags to riches stories?
  • deafboy deafboy Now 100%

    Communists and fascist are the conservatives on my side of the planet though. They both appeal on "the good old times, when the world was right". Both equally glorify physical labor and fight against the intellectualism.

    It’s the bullshit of hard work will result in success and money.

    That's funny, because it's not the liberal leaning folks who glorify the hard labor.

    Disappointment? Only if you mean the person that came up with FoomaticRIP.

    For those who did not read the entire thing, it's a so called "filter" that converts the document before it's sent to certain nasty types of printers. Except it's not executed on the print server. The unauthenticated print server can just ask a client to run it on their side. And it's designed to be able to execute ANY command.

  • Are there any neat cases for the Raspberry Pi 3B+?
  • deafboy deafboy Now 100%

    Flirc cases are nice, but the rubber parts do not handle the high temperatures well.

    One of my pis is running inside a cupboard, so not ideal in terms of ventilation. The rubbery top and bottom of the case has started to dissolve into a sticky oil that was a removed to clean up. The plastic underneath looks OK, so once the rest of it dissolves it will look normal again.

    The other pi with the same case that's out in the open shows no signs of degradation.

    zkSNACKs, the developer of Wasabi wallet, has shut down its coinjoin coordinator since June. The news is not surprising, considering that it has already been unavailable for the US customers since May. Since the wallet itself is non-custodial (you hold the keys), and it's using block filters to update your balance directly from the bitcoin network, the wallet functionality is intact. However, if you want to coinjoin, you have to find another public coordinator. A list of currently active coordinators is available on [wabisator.com](https://wabisator.com/), or [wasabist.io](https://wasabist.io/) Coordinators do not require any privileged access to private information, so it should be safe to use any 3rd party coordinator with enough real active users. At no point are your funds at risk of being stolen. However, a dedicated attacker running a public coordinator could still pull a de-anonymization attack by mixing your coins solely with their own outputs.

    Ever since the [interview with Lukas Seyfrid (CZ)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJUeYQy-W1Y), the chief of the hardware team, it was clear that Braiins is pivoting from the development of mining software, to building their own hardware. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/7ce63a7b-8908-4752-904c-1e3a0887fb02.png) This, I believe, is the first iteration of their effort in form of a consumer product, and while it is unlikely to make you a financial return on the investment, it's small form factor and nice anodized aluminum case can allow pretty much anyone to become familiar with the process of bitcoin mining. Or terrorize the testnet. The choice is yours. I think I might buy one, just to try the viability of a pure solar setup. **HW specifications:** ||| | ------------- | ------------- | | Price (pre-order) | $199.00 | | Hashrate | ~1Th/s | | Power Consumption | 40W - 55W | | Number of hashboards | 1 | | Number of ASIC chips | 4 | | Cooling Type | Active | | Noise | 40 dB | | Air outlet temperature | 40-50 °C | **But really, how much would it make in a year?** If we assume the current price and difficulty stays the same, the block subsidy is **3.125 BTC**, median fees around **0.2212 BTC**, free electricity, you'd get **0.001 BTC per 12 months**, which is roughly **65 USD**. A little more than 3 years to break even. It's not going to break any records, but I'm still excited for what's to come next.

    "Recent regulatory action against Consensys and Samourai has instilled fear among other crypto service providers operating in the United States." - Wasabi is the main competitor to Samourai's whirpool mixing service. The only one flying under the radar currently is Joinmarket. - Phoenix is the Lightning network wallet where users keep custody of their funds, but the channel management is outsourced to the company. The only remaining self custodial lightning wallet that remains is Breez. While this news is deeply troubling, it might push further development to more sustainable trustless self-custodial solutions in the long term.

    The Solomon's temple in Jerusalem was a mistake... according to samaritan israelites, who follows 5 books of the old testament, and pray on Mt. Gerizim, 48km north of Jerusalem. THE place to worship God. Most of the european christians probably know the term only from the story about the good samaritan. Today I've learned not only they are still a thing, practicing their barebones version of judaism, but in addition to israel and the west bank, some of them even live and practice their religion in brazil.

    The so called new religious movements are a guilty pleasure of mine. Some of their followers often claim to be inspired specifically by Zoroastrianism. But what is zoroastrianism? Apparently, it all started ~3000 years ago in the area currently known as iran, by the guy called Zarathustra. And although the number of active practitioners is rapidly declining, the ideas behind it affect us all to this day, as the christianity and islam seem to be highly inspired by the ideas behind zoroastrianism.

    A new type of vulnerability has been found, affecting the routing nodes, allowing the attacker to steal the amount locked in HTLC you're forwarding for them. Several scenarios and possible mitigations are suggested in the article.

    There's a new Trezor HW wallet available. It's a long awaited refresh of the original Trezor One. Two buttons, one screen, USB-C, and a new chip that makes it tick. Now with 100% more secure element! They also offer a new cold storage solution - https://trezor.io/trezor-keep-metal . The form factor is similar to cryptosteel, but the mechanism of entering the seed phrase is different. You punch a bunch of holes in the metal plates. Depending on what material is used, I'd say it's much more fool proof compared to cryptosteel. If an unsuspecting nocoiner opens it, there is no risk of them just spilling all the letters out and financially ruining the whole family in the process.

    I've tried Apacer AS2280Q4 2TB and ADATA SWORDFISH 500 GB. Both report `nvme nvme0: globally duplicate IDs for nsid 1` since Linux 5.19, if I attach more than one. Only the first drive is seen by the system. Workaround so far has been to stay on 5.15, but that's not a viable long-term solution. This error has been known for quite some time, and has been fixed downstream for specific distros and ssd models. Is there any chance the manufacturers will start to assign unique ID's to each drive, or mainline implements usable a universal workaround?

    Everyone knows helix antenna is needed for capturing NOAA satellite images, due to circular polarization of the signal, right? As I was listening to ISS APRS repeater (with great success!), I noticed NOAA 19 would pass over me shortly. Since the dipole was already set up outside, I decided to give it a go. Software used: - GQRX to capture the audio - Gpredict to know when to start the recording, and to compensate for the doppler shift - noaa-apt to convert the audio file to an image Hardware used: - RTL-SDR.com branded USB dongle - 3 lousy USB extension cords - "Bunny ear" retractable dipole antenna that I got in a bundle with one of the SDRs Now, there is not much to see in the image, but I sure as hell can spot some clouds there, and that's much more than I actually expected!

    Google is a search engine for human readable content. Shodan does the same for machine readable content. You can: - search for specific IP addresses, and it will show you the active ports, and running services. - search for a specific response header in the set of countries - browse through the screenshots of open VNC & RDP - open webcams - and more... The free accounts can use any feature, but the list of results is limited. But if you really want to look under the deck of the internet, the subscription is worth it. https://account.shodan.io/billing/member
