it is amazing that ledger spent millions to try and break cold card and they just assumed that no dumb ass would be inept enough to fuck up the random number generator

2026-08-03 01:54:35 UTC

literally coldcard and coinkite engineering QA was the worst on the planet.
god damn we were all fooled on their marketing. myself included

low entropy collisions. people were generating the same wallet.
what a royal embarrassment. everyone blames NVK but it looks like the dude named doc_hex wrote all this terrible code.

all of these coldcard movements are causing tons of coinjoin datasets to be reduced. the only private way forward is lightning. coinjoin was a fun experiment but all of this new movement is reducing anonymity sets by a lot.

2026-08-02 11:22:27 UTC

do no trust a hardware wallet even the ones still standing with giving you a random seed.
do not trust a desktop wallet either. draw your own words from a bucket that are cut out and replace the word you drew each time. then use seed signer to calculate your 24th word.

exact replica of claude code is achieved with very easy steps.
1. install opencode
2. enable lsp https://opencode.ai/docs/lsp/
2. enable exa webfetch https://ricostacruz.com/posts/opencode-starter-kit
3. use no logging glm5.2 model on deepinfra
4. ask claude to create a open code command that exports its project memories and agents.md for each of your projects into opencode when you run the command
5. launch opencode in a directory of a project and run the command claude made and bring over your agents.md files
6. enjoy being free of anthropic with mythos level coding

i believe the data center produces its own power via natural gas turbines independent of the grid by using a natural gas pipeline.
data centers recycle water. cool water in hot water out
40,000 acres sounds like a lot but that's probably a phased buildout over 20 years
the data center hatred is the same as the factory hatred and power plant hatred that led to power production, manufacturing etc going over seas.

THREE DUMB ROUTERS TOPOLOGY
(Y-Configuration for Network Isolation)
INTERNET
|

[ROOT ROUTER]
192.168.0.1
(No WiFi, No devices)
|
+-----------------+-----------------+
| |
LAN Port 1 LAN Port 2
| |
| |
[WAN Port] [WAN Port]
[SECURE ROUTER] [IoT ROUTER]
192.168.1.1 192.168.2.1
NAT Enabled NAT Enabled

192.168.1.10 192.168.1.11 192.168.2.10 192.168.2.11
KEY DETAILS:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Root Router (The "Stem" of the Y)
├── WAN: Connected to Modem/Internet
├── LAN IP: 192.168.0.1 (or any base subnet)
├── DHCP: Can be disabled or only serve the two routers
└── IMPORTANT: No devices should connect directly here (no WiFi)
Secure Router (Left Branch)
├── WAN: Connected to Root Router LAN (gets IP like 192.168.0.2)
├── LAN IP: 192.168.1.1 (Different subnet!)
├── DHCP: Enabled (192.168.1.100-200)
└── Devices: PCs, Laptops, Phones, NAS (Your trusted devices)
IoT/Insecure Router (Right Branch)
├── WAN: Connected to Root Router LAN (gets IP like 192.168.0.3)
├── LAN IP: 192.168.2.1 (Different subnet!)
├── DHCP: Enabled (192.168.2.100-200)
└── Devices: Minecraft server, Smart home devices, Untrusted IoT
ISOLATION MECHANISM:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Traffic Flow:
• Secure PC → Secure Router → Root Router → Internet ✓
• IoT Device → IoT Router → Root Router → Internet ✓
• Secure PC → IoT Router → BLOCKED (Different subnet, behind NAT)
• IoT Device → Secure Router → BLOCKED (ARP broadcasts don't cross routers)
Why This Works:
1. Routers block Ethernet broadcasts (ARP cannot traverse)
2. Each network is its own "broadcast domain"
3. Double NAT prevents IP scanning between networks
4. Compromised IoT device cannot use traceroute to find Secure network
(Only sees: IoT Router → Root Router → Internet)
Configuration Checklist:
□ All three routers have different LAN subnets (e.g., 0.x, 1.x, 2.x)
□ Secondary routers connect via WAN ports (not LAN ports)
□ No "Bridge Mode" or "Access Point Mode" on secondary routers
□ Root router ideally has WiFi disabled (or use as guest network only)
□ UPnP disabled on Root Router (prevents IoT from opening ports inward)

and you want to be able to access your clawbot remotely so it gets its own access via tailscale

you don't want your local clawbot to see your local network with all your other computers and your home router but you do want your clawbot to have access to the internet

2026-02-15 12:34:06 UTC

simple way to isolate your clawbot that you host at home:
1. buy a glinet gateway
2. plug wan into local network
3. plug clawbot box into lan on glinet gateway
3. on glinet gateway, enable tailscale
4. disable local network access on glinet
via tailscale menu on glinet:
5. enable alternative route to 192.168.8.1
6. on other computer connect to tailscale via tailscale app
7. navigate to ip of the clawbot box via ip (192.168.8.xxx)
