There's nothing in the bitcoin whitepaper about getting rich quick. If that's your goal, go ahead and send your money to FTX, Luna, Voyager, or Binance. But that's not my goal. I'm here so I can have self-sovereignty of

Binance is an exchange, and exchanges are not needed for cryptocurrency to work. They just make it easier to enter/exit the ecosystem.

The USP of cryptocurrency is the ability to self-custody. If you sent your money to a company like Voyager, instead of controlling your keys yourself, you missed the point.

Scrubbing sounds useful. I'll start doing that every so often. I thought trim was enabled by default ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Btrfs#SSD_TRIM ). Does fstrim do something more than that or is it the same thi

Was I supposed to be maintaining my btrfs partition all this time? I just formatted my disk as btrfs when I bought my laptop and haven't thought about it since.

This is an article about darknet markets, and when I hear "darknet markets" I think of drugs. The impression I get from Bruce Schneier's blog is that other shady stuff like stealing credit cards or murder-for-hire sites (whic

The focal distance won't be an inch away of course. Every headset I've seen specs for puts the focal distance at 20ft. For normal human eyes, 20ft is optical infinity, so there's no difference optically between looking into a

Right now every state that lets you pay taxes with crypto immediately converts it into USD. So the govt is not taking on any volatility risk.
