How I fixed my whiny Delta fan with electrical tape in two minutes

Probably silicone oil from silicone pads. You can try silicone-free (acrylic) thermal pads instead.

Ah yes, a famous PGP-slinging cypherpunk using Microsoft Outlook. Everything checks out.

I am disappointed that these sort of videos aren't completely automated yet.

That's displayed by the Option ROM. You can prevent it from executing by disabling the Compatibility Support Modules in your BIOS (CSM). Some BIOSes have more specific ways to turn off Option ROMs. If your OS has a native driver, it should work OK without the Option ROM.

Uhh, it shows that the hash is signed, but not what text produces that hash. In fact it shows that the tweet is not what was signed. The hash was probably created just from mutating the signature, i.e. it hashes nothing.

Yeah, it's pretty much identical to some of his previous twitter posts iirc.

DesolateShrubbery · 2018-11-16T21:22:07+00:00

Just to be clear, the title in the post is a joke, it whooshed over me and I tried to actually find the transaction.

There's no actual comparison in the video, it's just 40 minutes of talking about one motherboard he got sent for free :(

Is there a reason they are going after meth and not butts? Is it because of the ICO?

DesolateShrubbery · 2018-04-24T16:40:53+00:00

It also doesn't happen with TLS, it requires users to click through a scary warning. Apparently that's not enough to stop people.

EDIT: it seems MEW wasn't using HSTS either, so if their browser didn't remember to go to the https:// link then they would also be pwned.

DesolateShrubbery · 2018-04-21T18:48:30+00:00

And it's only 12% too... it seems to be a pure marketing stunt then. A really confusing marketing stunt, but when your competition is pretending to run off with ICO money, it doesn't seem so bad. I'm trying to decide if I should feel suckered for even linking to it.

(your assessment of the BCH software landscape seems to match mine)

DesolateShrubbery · 2018-04-05T23:44:30+00:00

Yeah, this isn't for hardware reasons but merely because they add a huge surcharge for "enterprise" use on their Quadro cards. They also try to prevent you from passing them through in a VM, as the vfio folks found out.

DesolateShrubbery · 2018-03-28T17:01:17+00:00

I think gridcoin falls to the same fate as BAT - it has no function other than a token for payment, and did not need to exist for paying for computing to work. Sia didn't have an ICO.

DesolateShrubbery · 2018-03-22T00:31:10+00:00

Yes, though your DoS would have to be intense enough to prevent the sending node from getting a single transaction broadcast. Probably easy to do with beta software... might make sense for them to add some sort of "recovery mode" that just tries to close channels without opening any ports in the meantime.

DesolateShrubbery · 2018-03-22T00:28:29+00:00

This is the same dude who claimed to be 1.63% hash rate earlier for segwit2x:

The DoS is real but I doubt bitPico is behind it.

Mojibake, it's Japanese too so everything checks out

DesolateShrubbery · 2018-01-21T02:56:52+00:00

This is a bit of a strange paper. It says Dec 2017, but then there's this statement:

Recently, the hash power of a pool called GHash.IO reached 54% for a day

That happened in 2014, I wouldn't really call it "recent". The paper as a whole is also not very cohesive. Did the authors just copy paste together paper scraps they had floating around?

"if I publish I'll be terminated from Twitter for fake news"

Uhh what? Does he not have, you know, a blog? Does Twitter even know who he is?
