GLM 5.3 is a monster. You know what it just did on my machine? Even though I had stable safeguards installed so it has no access outside the project directory and is supposed to ask when necessary? Never had experienced something like this before. I'm building a complicated feature right now that I need to live test on noornote.app. Watch this: It just went and grabbed my SFTP credentials from FileZilla completely on its own (yeah, FileZilla apparently stores the password in plaintext on the hard drive, that bastard), then wrote a Python deployment script itself and deployed its changes. Went live. Just like that. Completely on its own. Without asking. That was his output: "$ .deploy/deploy-web.sh --no-build Local bundle: main-BX-wgmcr.js ── Uploading dist/ → [noornotes ftp server]:/public_html ── ... 100 files ... 200 files ... 300 files ... 400 files Upload: 469 ok, 0 failed ── Verifying live bundle ── Live bundle: main-BX-wgmcr.js ✓ Deploy verified — live matches local build." When I said "WTF?", it admitted that it crossed a line and apologized and wanted to undo everything blah blah. People, keep that Chinese LLM tightly in check. That bastard just takes over. Like in some fucking science fiction movie.

And so my Buzz review ends before it even began.

Privacy is something that Allah ﷻ has prescribed in different situations. It's the right of each individual to limit information about themselves toward others. Whoever abuses this or disregards it will have to answer to Allah on Judgment Day. View quoted note →

Man, imagine this. You wake up in the morning, do your Fajr prayer with the guys. Then you hop on your little fishing boat, head out a bit. Stop somewhere out there. Throw on your diving mask and jump right in the water. With a harpoon. See a bunch of fish. Grab one. Climb back on deck with it. Grill the fish right there on the spot. Just like that for breakfast. On the way back you cast your net, catch about 2 or 3 pounds of fish. Bag them up and head over to the market. You've got a little stand with a table there. Lay the fish out. Customers come by and buy a few. You make your money for the day. And you're free from noon on. What more does a man even need? View quoted note →

One of the most toxic features on X (and maybe elsewhere too) is this "only certain people can reply" thing. I mean, what the hell is that? You shout something out into the world, but only certain people get to comment on it? That's what private groups are for. When you use it on a public platform like X, 99% of the time it's for one of these reasons: you're a snowflake, you expect pushback, you're too weak to handle it, so you just shut that whole part down. In short, you're a cowardly, self-important rat who wants to talk to the masses but won't tolerate any backtalk, you little dictator. But a private chat group doesn't give you enough of an audience. That's how you plant toxicity into a platform. You sugarcoat it at first with "but there's also assholes, you know, yada yada" and then you sit back and watch it get used only by assholes. But hey, at least we can't see who liked or reposted stuff anymore. Long live Nostr!

Maybe the outcome of BIP-110 on Saturday wasn't so bad after all. The result was unexpected, sure, but it showed us two things we hadn't really been paying attention to, things that might matter more in the long run than OP_RETURN: 1. We underestimated how much fiat corruption there is among miners, and we barely did anything about it. 2. Even our heroes got swallowed up by their own narcissism, spiraling further into radicalization and losing touch with reality. And we don't have any mechanisms in place to keep either of those in check. Maybe we should start taking seriously the idea that Bitcoin, just like Nostr, is more deeply tied to self sovereignty and the cypherpunk ethos than we've been assuming, and that these principles need to be nurtured and protected before the software itself.

@Piotr is relatively new and good Nostrich. You should follow him. I'm glad having him on my timeline.

I get it when normies are too dumb and fall back into their old habits. But Luke? What is that, the longing for censorability? And isn't Discord KYC'd now? View quoted note →

So Bitcoin Core is captured by fiat and new fork would be a return to Satoshi's values or what? Bitcoin Core no more cypherpunk, all suitcoiners or what? I don't care how they will name that fork, I'm not choosing marketing labels, I'm choosing principles.

I guess we're in the 3rd phase of "first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." If we make it through this, we'll probably have a world like

Lessons from these days: If you're not using AI to audit your own projects, the bad guys definitely are, and sooner or later they'll kick your ass. The days of "I'm a super coder ninja" are over. Arrogance gets punished hard. (And forget about using Claude Code for that. They'll kick you out sooner or later for running security audits. They'll accuse you of "suspicious behavior" right away.)

Man, the Friday prayers are turning more and more into a test of patience. Some guy left his phone on and loud in a bag and it kept ringing the whole time, for 2 rak'ats straight. Nobody reacted, neither the owner nor the imam. Not even afterwards. The owner quietly grabbed his backpack and disappeared into the crowd. Jumu'ah mubarak!

Interesting. Some people who are now turning out to be part of Coinkite's circles ("influencers", shills), I had already flagged earlier as "Muslim hating asshole" because of verifiably anti Muslim statements. NoorNote has a special feature for that. Now the dots are connecting and the networks are slowly becoming visible. It's always the same.

There are scripted crime stories. There are interactive crime stories with different alternative endings. And then there are those live crime stories where you go online every day to find out the next chapter.

Hey guys, have you seen any mainstream media coverage of the Coinkite scandal by now? I mean, the whole thing's got to be big enough for that, right? 1500 BTC gone (and counting), a lousy patch, and tons of indications even on social media. That's already enough material for a Netflix documentary. At the very least, a few reporters should have woken up by now. #asknostr

Conspiracy theories are wild these days. Let's see who wins.
