    I would just pirate at that point. You're paying for the streaming service anyways. Use mullvad to download the torrent :). I'm pretty sure they ignore dmca requests. Not that they…

    I store my passwords on an encrypted file partition sqlite database. My script grabs the pass and immediately closes the partition afterwards. You can also just encrypt your passwo…

    I like mullvad. You can buy a prepaid card off amazon. I figured out how to setup wireguard on various unixes Mac/linux/openbsd

    I've been using device mapper+encryption to backup my files to encrypted filesystem on regular files. (cryptsetup on linux, vnconfig+bioctl on openbsd). Is there a reason for me to…

    I use x64dbg to make cheats. It is a binary debugger for x64/32. Check it out and learn assembly/winapi.. For serious debugging of binaries you'll want a DMA device to inject into …

    fzf, ripgrep are some command line tools I like. Check them out. Being able to quickly search your history with fuzzy finder is so useful.

    Stealing crypto is so lucrative. So there is a huge 'market' for this stuff now that wasn't there before. Security is more important now than ever. I started sandboxing Emacs and p…

    I use it, and even run wayland (sway) on my dell laptop. No bluetooth support. Encrypted disk. Takes a lot of time to setup. Generally similar to linux, but less hardware support.

    I love org-mode with emacs. I use it to organize my notes / game hacks / todo / pretty much anything using a tree structure. You can use drawers to hide things like sample code.

    I highly recommend OpenBSD for firewalls, vpn (wireguard), and other edge servers. It has served me well. I love how everything is organized.

    how would this work with internationalized strings? especially if you have to change the order of things? You'd still need a string version with object ordering I would think

    I'm pretty sure boost::format can do this, though not inline in the string. Do we really need more complexity in cpp? isn't it complex enough?

    I think of evolution as unassisted learning where agents compete with the each other for limited resources. Over time they get better and better at surviving by passing on genes. I…

    I should point out getting bitcoin anonymously requires some work too (if you buy BTC it is tied to your CC, and many exchanges require your ssn). Mullvad does allow you to send th…

    I use mullvad VPN with wireguard on OpenBSD (man wg). Works great. You can buy months with bitcoin for anonymity.

    Latex already has massive amounts of libraries. Simple things like chemistry or physics typesetting for example. That's hard to just switch away from. can it do freetype fonts? I u…

    I'm want to try them. I figure growing them myself is the safest way to go. Got 10 bags of Uncle Ben's brown rice growing mycelium right now.

    My biggest concern with weed is that it stays in your system for a long time, much longer than the actual high. THC is fat soluble, getting stored in the body's fatty tissue, and c…

    It doesn't even have to be a server like ssh. It could be a client side project engineered to somehow deliver all your ssh keys or bitcoin wallets. There is no reason backdoors cou…
