With your own entropy, still the best signer npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook 🤣 God visits "the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children to the third and the fourth generation.” npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Ya timing is everything but I have hope sovereign individuals can outlast the likes of blackrock. If not, we’re all fucked npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Nah its survival is dependent on humans interest in its survival. Apathy in bitcoin is at ath. Its currently sheep getting slaughtered npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook There was no weak entropy fallback. Stop giving air time to air head feds. The weak PRNG (Yasmarang) wasn’t Coinkite’s fallback. It’s MicroPython’s built-in general-purpose RNG — introduced upstream in May 2018, and it didn’t enter Coldcard seed generation until the libNgU migration in March 2021. Every language runtime ships something like this for ordinary randomness (shuffling, jitter, non-security stuff), and that’s fine on its own. Coinkite’s actual design intent was the opposite of a fallback: route seed generation exclusively through their hardware TRNG and never touch the software one. Setting MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_RNG=0 was them trying to switch the software path off. The bug is that the switch didn’t take, and the symbol quietly resolved to the runtime’s default instead. So the “fallback” was collateral inheritance from their platform, activated by a link-time mistake, not a corner someone chose to cut in the seed logic. npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook I’m about to buy a shit ton of corn npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook https://blossom.primal.net/e13436d0859389fb7c65f12d9246d6609c8f7d626eae20c9aaceab16e656c4f5.gif npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Ignorance is bliss npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Yes npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Something like the open rollercoaster tycoon, doom, or freeciv would be dope npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook I’ll never get rid of my 2003 taco npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook I used to but then I read Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons. Every generation has distinct worldviews shaped by historical moments that aren’t cross compatible. Each mistakes its own formation for plain truth rather than the product of its era. Dialogue across the divide curdles into mutual incomprehension npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Fuck it, I’ll see how many I can do in 30 mins today.

It allows one person to build a 10x better product than a multi billion dollar company. Bitcoin could be as effective on both those fronts if enough people want to be sovereign. Not seeing that yet npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook 👌🏻and don’t listen to Elon’s bitch ass.

Ok then bitch, liquidate your holdings and cut me a check. Don’t buy his bs npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Ai psychosis and doomerism is when fiat brain rot and the Luciferian intellect collide 😂. The epistemic self-sufficiency Bitcoiners built by melting borrowed thinking and then reasoning from first principles make us primed to weather whatever may come. God speed friends npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook This could be a way for open models to close the gap… https://github.com/karpathy/autoresearch npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Using a dialed in ai workflow, you can get up to speed on projects quick af. For those of us with no reputation in the space and looking to make a career out of it, is it better to dabble in different projects or go really deep and supercharge one project? npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bitcoin-rapid-fire/id1476958861?i=1000561198110 npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bitcoin-rapid-fire/id1476958861?i=1000561198110 or https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/citadel-dispatch/id1546393840?i=1000649583742 npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook They done did lost their minds npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook The common argument I see thrown around is that it does affect the quality and it widens the surface area for attack npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Don’t skip leg day peeps https://blossom.primal.net/76540e0d29fef910c888e5357a8dec2bafc2176491d4c0da4c11aa06a4dcfe5f.mov npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook This run was a doozy… 🫠 https://blossom.primal.net/8d6ff533462ad3488dd75be08070123cc55ef69cd32a005bce4a4d0dce0699c0.mov npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Sweet! npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook 2 in one day for your viewing pleasure https://blossom.primal.net/ee861da0e16e9f51d2f0a7e3612a203dab5a781cb1d4eeb77b2a2ac31a5d6c77.mov npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Can’t forget day 6!

Anthropic apparently giving the middle finger to warmongering cunts lends credence to my prediction. Nukes don’t compare to the power of ai. Ai is virtually unlimited in its ability to proliferate, sustainably destabilizing (no MAD), faster at making decisions, super sneaky, and perhaps independent in achieving goals. In the context of accelerating global AI competition, anything more drastic than labeling anthropic a supply chain risk would likely have spooked markets. Big ai seems to have more strategic leverage over civilization itself than most if not all governments #nevent1q…d8ey npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Day 5 training in the jungle https://blossom.primal.net/7fa7e89edc66c6958ce1f5ed6de99373bfd8064fc01d72654171a41ea292108b.mov npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Did something just get murdered on the sidewalk?

The overwhelming majority tends to gamble it all away npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook I think it’s more like cantillionaires have unlimited runway. Bitcoin entrepreneurs are just waiting for capital to be priced on the free market. Everything’s currently retarded npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook It’s not up to them. Individuals (the aforementioned majority) could actually start using bitcoin to claim goods/services. Ya know, drum up sustainable demand for the coin npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook That’s why you prime your coin to burn for such contingencies npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook They get my coin over my dead body.

All red flags npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Extreme fear usually means only trend is up from here npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook 👌🏻 npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Slay your heroes npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook This round of education got hijacked by spooks, suits, and scammers. The plot was lost and the narrative wasn’t convincing. So many influencers sold out it was inevitable. We must do better next cycle or we’ll continue to spin our wheels and delay the bitcoin standard. The current price action tells us that pandering to institutions may well have been a waste of time. Deliberate individual adoption is the only way we see bitcoin’s price grind sustainably higher against the dollar npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending! Death! Death! Death! Forth Eorlingas! 😈 npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Yes but the massive paper to physical gold ratio, futures dominance, and centralized/opaque supply makes gold easily manipulable. Do you expect the trend to break soon? npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Awesome, I’m done with Airbnb fees and lurking on fb marketplace. I’ll be in Costa Rica soon for a couple months and would do the trench work of onboarding local landlords npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook I wonder if we could do something like this for Airbnb npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Yo if you’re recording these, send me some samples and I’ll cook up some edits for you npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook It’s tomorrow… 🫵🏻 I regret missing it yesterday npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Wow, I forgot he exists. Used to be obsessed after watching the first lecture of his Genesis series. But once you go deep enough, you see he pulled from many different disciplines to weave a patchwork that ostensibly justified Zionism. It was pretty clear during his Exodus round table npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Definitely, if humans aren’t in the loop. Code is cheap so it’s more engineering than developing now npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Hmm I guess it’s expensive but I don’t see why agents in a Ralph loop under the supervision of a comprehensive test suite can’t deliver top percentile results. You just iterate enough times until you see the desired behavior. Where are the risks? npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook I think we’re only lacking in the amount of resources being devoted to self sustaining citadels npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook It’s the “set up with opencode” doc https://ppq.ai/blog/using-opencode-with-payperq npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Trying to get it to work with my set up was a headache. I want to use it but had to go with ppq.ai instead. This guide made it seamless: https://ppq.ai/blog/using-opencode-with-payperq. Routstr needs something like that npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Awesome. Unfortunately, levering .5 bitcoin wont get you the point break gym you built out. Especially, in a destination hot spot. I assume you bridged other funding sources to get the deal done. Did the Mayakita resort or ledn help subsidize the deal? I want to duplicate the concept somewhere else npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook The question is, will the ride or dies (1-5% of global population) be able to strategically build out enough jdx distributed citadels quick enough to survive? I don’t think it takes convincing everyone with financial firepower. That’s not practical. Once at a critical mass, these bitcoin circular economies should draw in and reprogram NPCs over time. Agree tho that institutions can suck a dick and individual is all that matters npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Hodl like the fate of humanity depends on it… bc it does npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook lol you don’t have what it takes. Sell now, the road is too dangerous for you npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Came for ngu, stayed for freedom money npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Ah ok please let us know when you do npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Agreed, I can’t believe qubes 4.3 still has it as the default. Are you going with librewolf? npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook @npub1f6u…zcka npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook I was retarded and got out over my skis. Here’s a Claude summary of the yard sale: What Went Wrong: ∙ Qubes OS refused to start 4 critical VMs (sys-net, sys-firewall, sys-whonix, wallet) ∙ Initial errors: thin pool activation failures, then “snapshot already exists” conflicts ∙ Root cause: Massive over-allocation - 480GB promised to VMs but only 85GB actual thin pool space ∙ Final state: Thin pool corrupted with transaction ID mismatch, preventing all repairs Diagnosis Process: 1. Started with snapshot conflicts → tried to remove them 2. Hit pool activation failures → attempted refresh commands 3. Discovered only 9.6GB free in volume group (98% full) 4. Found 102 total volumes (way too many for fresh install) 5. Uncovered the real problem: 24 VMs × 20GB = 480GB allocated vs 85GB pool capacity 6. Thin provisioning worked until actual usage filled the 85GB, then pool corrupted What Went Right (lol): ∙ Successfully accessed dom0 and ran diagnostics ∙ Identified the space exhaustion issue ∙ Pool corruption caught before data operations attempted Prognosis: Poor. The thin pool has corrupted metadata with transaction mismatches. Standard repair commands failed. Without backups: ∙ Recovery options limited to rescue boot or Qubes forum expertise ∙ May require reinstall with proper space planning ∙ Some/all VM data likely unrecoverable Can anyone save me or tell me how to prevent this going forward on a fresh install? This experience was a hard lesson in the importance of backups.

I do wonder how they’ll spin kicking down the doors of a sacred monastery in Bhutan. Then again, maybe they stop short bc they’re worried China sees it as a proxy stack npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Maybe they had multiple accounts betting small amounts to stay under radar? Prediction markets will never give participants a fair shake on a fiat standard. Cantillionaires make the rules. However, such markets be fair on a bitcoin standard in a free market/free society npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook I understand him perfectly well. In fiat world, there’s a power hierarchy where those at the top make decisions based on information normies aren’t privy to. Unless you’re on the take, you’re in the dark npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook What if the player is the one rigging the game at gun point? npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Lol a sure-fire way to lose to China. Straight fud npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Every now and then I experience a dream that feels so real my body repels at its climax and kicks me back to this dimension. Coming out of the dream though, I’m able to stay in a sort of euphoric limbo for a short period of time. Not only do I vividly replay what feels like my life’s highlight reel, but I also get the sense that I’m consciously shaping and guiding footage as I observe it playing out in high fidelity. The surest way I’ve found to induce this phenomenon is by eating ice cream 30 mins or so prior to falling asleep. A closer look into this hypnopompic state may very well be a promising angle to tackle the hard problem of consciousness. Just a reminder that this reality is amazing and there is so much to explore npub154uk44gwxnpa2cn70qpl6x2mawqnl23cd8eaza6v66ul7xw2nf0syjwldc CptKook Look no further than Dostoevsky
