. . : : The Hacker's Manifesto : : . . Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager arrested in computer crime scandal", "Hacker arrested after bank tampering"... Damn Kids. They're all alike. But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain ever take a look behind the eyes of a hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him? I am a hacker, enter my world... Mine is a world that begins with school. I've listened to the teacher explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Mrs. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..." Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike. I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to do. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed up. Not because it doesn't like me... or feels threatened by me... or thinks I'm a smart ass... or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here... Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike. And then it happened... A door opened to a world... Rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day to day incompetencies is sought... A board is found. "This is it... This is where I belong..." I know everyone here... Even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all... Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike... You bet your ass we're all alike... We've been spoon fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... The bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert. This is our world now... The world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... And you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... And you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, you cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... After all, We're all alike. +++The Mentor+++
It’s good!
Security above everything: why every month is Cybersecurity Awareness Month at Kraken https://blog.kraken.com/product/security/security-above-everything-why-every-month-is-cybersecurity-awareness-month-at-kraken https://image.nostr.build/6e42ebd3e2e9e5f90ba6914f583ac7ad055534e82aba1924615717d8b62bdc53.jpg
Hello
#[0] What do you know?
We will be accepting #bitcoin #lightning payments at #THOTCON this year using #[4] PoS. https://nostr.build/i/0defc9828d531c1ce10e7b9ef70037f6f750e02cb8b03032253d1b440e0adbc9.jpg
Shave and a haircut.
GM! Remember what today is. Believe even less of what you read today.
The #Bitcoin white paper is on the Williams F1 car in Australia this weekend.
GM!
I recently spent time with 150 8th graders as part of a career day at a local middle school. I spoke to them about my path in cybersecurity & cryptocurrency. I was surprised by their interest & knowledge of #Bitcoin. Several of them, mostly girls told me that owned some. They asked questions about self custody and private key management. I was expecting to start getting questions about the FUD we constantly hear (criminal use, climate impact, scams, etc). I heard non of that. Just engaging conversations about the utility, the value and global benefits of #Bitcoin. They get it. I later realized these same kids are not on Twitter or Facebook and they don’t read or watch mainstream media. They are not inundated with anti-crypto FUD 24/7. I didn’t know what to expect about my visit, but I now have more hope for the future.

Avoided, but if you need to cover it up with strong cologne or perfume, I’ll take the BO.
Back from 2 weeks of travel. What did I miss?
Bulleit for cocktails, Blanton’s or if special occasion Black Maple Hill for sipping
When where?
GM! What’s your weekend plans? I’m headed to meet some family for a fried chicken lunch.
What did you learn today?
