: "David Chaum and the cypherpunks are right. Modern crypto is mostly wrong. I say ‘mostly’ because crypto is littered with fully anonymous actors jealously guarding their True Names. Unfortunately a lot of those anonymous individuals are among the worst scammers in crypto.

But the rest of crypto went down the path of using centralized exchanges. KYC AML CFT PEP SOF* checks and all the rest. [KYC = Know Your Customer; AML = Anti Money Laundering; CFT = Combating Financing of Terrorism; PEP – Politically Exposed Person, SOF = Source of Funds] The problem is that these exchanges have a foot in both worlds: they’re cypherpunk on the side where they’re getting tokens from the raw chaos of the blockchains. They’re TradFi (traditional finance) where they are taking copies of passports and verifying home addresses. As a result, all the legal liability piles up in the exchanges and they also have huge opportunities for operating their own scams: see FTX.

The SEC case against Coinbase is likely to be where a lot of this mess gets sorted out but I am not liking Coinbase’s chances."

The Manifesto from Timothy C. May and several essays from other are essential reads for thinking about succumbing to regulators.

Perhaps even for those already under those chains these words of wisdom might provide useful ideas on how to be subversive against modern .

Technology has a political frame. In the last centuries this has been the one of oppression of the nation-state.

But arose.
And we, as , proudly bring on their vision with a rigorous ideological framework.

Our political frame is the one of freedom.

Remember how all the data stored locally from Signal Desktop is completely unencrypted?

Since the developers clearly aren't interested in changing this, I've written a shell script that makes it a breeze to encrypt and decrypt your Signal Desktop data using VeraCrypt.

It will also create a launcher for you (an .app on MacOS and a shell script on Linux) to automatically mount the encrypted storage before launching Signal, and automatically unmount it when exiting.

Just run the launcher instead of the app, and pretend that the password prompt is a Signal feature :)

Yes, this community is designed for and among others.

However, this server has been denied by AWS SES, SendGrid, and TurboSMTP lol.

A bit annoying, as we do not plan to have illegal activities occur on this server, but are treated as such. Going to try Mailgun next.

Unless, someone has a better recommendation?

"The wanted to demonstrate a crucial point: that these open technologies were designed to protect people from oppression"

go further: instead of protecting themselves individually they build the alternative organizing in communities.

Zugegeben: 1986 (ich 15), 1990 (ich 19) und auch 2000 (ein Jahr, bei dem ich als Teen ernste Zweifel hatte, dass ich oder sonstwer es je sehen würde) hatte ich andere Erwartungen an die Cyberpunk-Zukunft 2020, als wir sie in real erlebten. Aber neben Assange und Snowden gibt es min 1 weitere lupenreine "Real-Cyberpunk- (bzw Cypherpunk-)Story", die unbedingt und von Herzen jedem ans Herz gelegt sei. youtube.com/watch?v=y2JUvnAeRn

Could editing a post be used as a canary? Replace the text with something fairly informative, like a 🤐, and then readers are alerted to the edited post and can see the original.
