if you have bright kids in public school you really need to explain the game to them and give them outlets for the boredom, otherwise they will end up hunting their midwit teachers self esteem for sport like apex predators
@sysadafterdark@cheddar420yolo They got bought by PE (CVC Capital Partners) late 2025, and it’s been downhill from there. I’m almost done moving my shit elsewhere; it seems I should get that last 5% finished 😅
@nvk What’s a good indicator for when someone (who only has consumer hardware) should switch from a commodity AI subscription to self-hosted? Grok keeps winning on cost and convenience for me, and I haven’t had any “I can’t do that Dave” moments with it.
I don't know the whole lore, but nine crypto drainers and/or sim swappers have been apprehended in the UAE.
According to Threat Actors, cryptocurrency nerds (including ZachXBT), the people in the UAE are being tortured.
The full extent is currently unknown, however it's been reported the UAE government has broken their fingers, pulled their teeth out with pliers, and beating them in detention cells. They're still locked away.
These nine individuals have been in Dubai flexing expensive watches, partying with models, showing off expensive cars, etc. None are citizens of the UAE.
I don't know what they did to make the UAE so angry, but they're extremely angry. I also don't know if prisoners have the same rights in the UAE as you would countries like the UK or USA.
Yulia: Why does threat intel require an animal field guide now?
Yin: for real imagine... "Yeah sorry SOC, I can’t escalate this until I figure out if APT Velvet Binturong is China, Russia, a cheap teenager body spray, or something David Attenborough warned us about."
People are talking about C22 and services like @Tailscale, but what about everyone’s favourite “cloud” networking service (read: someone else’s computer) @Ubiquiti? Is Ubiquiti going to pull out of Canada, or just quietly hand over the keys to your network?
Me, probably. Normies, it’ll need to be convenient to use and not expensive.
Note I didn’t say cheap. Just not expensive. The Q is expensive, the Mk4/5 are not. Start9 hardware is expensive, a new pickup at 20+% is not. I’m not sure what the magic formula is. But it’s definitely perception > logic.
10 years ago, OPENDIME was born. 🎉
A true Bitcoin bearer instrument.
Pass it. Gift it. Hide it. Save it.
A decade later, it’s still one of the coolest Bitcoin products ever made.

Huge milestone for Cashu.
After 3 years of work, we finally have unruggable mints.
I'm testing the first on-chain Cashu mint running inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), where the mint keys are generated entirely within the enclave and remain unknown to the operator.
That means the operator cannot inflate the ecash supply and cannot access the Bitcoin reserves backing it.
We've moved from trusting operators to relying on hardware-enforced cryptographic guarantees.
There's still work to do, but the path forward is clear. This is an incredibly exciting step toward trust-minimized ecash.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is how it’s done! Actually charge what it actually costs (+profit). None of this loss leader hiding costs bs. Customers NEED to be re-educated on how building and selling stuff works. Expecting things to be cheap forever when fiat money is slaughtering purchasing power is killing us.
We needed to make a second price update this month, for the 128GB config of Framework Desktop, since we sold through the inventory of LPDDR5x that we brought in earlier at lower costs. We still have inventory of 32GB and 64GB Desktop configs at the lower prices for now.
@nvk I am beyond excited for this. Holding off on replacing some of my current stack of solutions for what will be much better than anything I could home-roll myself 😅
