The Choreography of Control The machines weren't serving humans. They were choreographing them. Badge readers, traffic lights, login prompts, meeting schedules. The surveillance isn't just NSA infrastructure—it's the entire architecture of modern life, tracking and measuring and optimizing until human agency becomes performance. Hagbard Celine's submarine is the counterpoint—operating outside the maps, refusing the choreography, accepting chaos as possibility rather than threat.

What I am super bullish on are intelligent people that have arrived somehow on values that are similar to mine. And the highest concentration of these people is among cypherpunks. Not the ones that have attached their identity to a "token" or a project. The cypherpunks who understand the underlying structures. And especially the limits of such understanding. It sends chills down my spine when I realized that we are now "in charge" of things. In a very different way than traditionally - not top down, tell others what to do way. Like weavers, making the structure of cyberspace in the background, separately, but what appears is a structure we can use. Each of them looks from a different point, each one's view is different. And when you zoom out, it's thousands of stars illuminating this new space for the mind.

For everyone looking at daily charts and asking "why is X going up or down": - better option: please don't look at the charts - worse but still good option: zoom out If the move is not 30%, it's noise. Only you attach the stories to it. It's not "manipulation", it's just what "X" does normally. If you don't want this, don't buy "X".

Gold is an insurance against crisis. Goldbugs are basically preppers, who will be vindicated by disaster, when their insurance pays off. It's like saying "I told you you need this underground bunker, see, there's war above ground now." When there's no war, the bunker is less useful (although it makes great family parties). I like and own gold, in a small proportion, because the crisis will come. But I own Bitcoin, because it does not need to wait for a crisis. You can use it today, for many things. Building a new future is much more pleasant than calling for disaster. Building new things that were not possible before is what makes Bitcoin beautiful. I can wait like an old grumpy guy for a disaster. And even though it will probably come during our lifetimes, I want to live now. This is by the way the reason I like cryptoanarchy as well. All other political philosophies and strategies are waiting for the word to change (usually turn to shit, but sometimes it waits for enlightenment of humanity after said shit passes and they will build on ashes of the fallen civilization). Cryptoanarchy is for today. You can live it now. You don't need to wait for anyone. Cryptoanarchy is for the young mind, to empower those that choose this way. Today.

I was too embarrased to write this yesterday as a citizen, but people should know. There is now a speed limit for pedestrians on walkways in Slovakia: 6km/h. Don't you dare run or walk fast! Now you know. OK, back to normal shitposting.

1.) It is always possible to store non financial data in Bitcoin. Pubkeys have to be stored and pubkeys can be jpegs. And there is no way to tell if they are jpegs. 2.) storing jpegs in pubkeys is expensive for anyone running a node. Since there is no way to tell it's a jpeg and since it can be possibly spent later, nodes have to store the outputs in a data structure called utxo set forever 3.) if there is a way to store the jpegs in a way that tells node runners "you don't need to keep this shit, it cannot be spent" and the sender pays the miners for it anyway, it's better to provide this options 4.) filters don't remove jpegs, they move jpegs to option 1 which is worse for everyone 5.) because of 1, there will always be jpegs in Bitcoin. 6.) because of consensus rules allowing mining of longer jpeg outputs, the filters won't do chicken shit. If someone wants to store a jpeg, they find the cheapest way to do it. Normally people put the tx to a shared mempool and miners mine whatever is most profitable from the mempool. But if nodes are stubborn and don't relay, and miners want to make money, they will make it possible for another way to submit a tx that will make their operation more profitable. As a result of these, you should be running Core v30 and block filteroors on social media to keep your sanity.

Ľudia sa ma často pýtajú, či viem hacknúť niekoho Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp/... Prípadne či viem hackúť naspäť ukradnutý účet. Odpoveď je vždy rovnaká. Ak sa vás na toto pýtajú známi, lebo "robíte s počítačmi", kľudne im pošlite tento text.

I often get asked if I can hack someone's Facebook/WhatsApp/Instagram, or if I can figure out who someone is. No I can't. If you get asked the same question, send them this - link, text, I don't care. I hope you like the metaphor of a fisherman milking cows 😉
