I would like to see more safety options of a hardware wallet with yubikey two factor self sovereign authentication.

I've update my Ubuntu Linux kernel to the latest version. Am I now finally safe from root hackers? Now researching if I can lock it extra with a Yubikey.

I wish software nowadays would be a simple and uncomplicated as pen and paper... I am starting to hate computers and any so-called "smart" equipment. Do programmers and engineers really believe that all people should learn to think like them? Is Usability Testing with common people and User Friendly use of all, a thing of the past? Why do hackers have to prove that they are so smart stealing your data, etc. and not use their intelligence to make this world a better one for all of us to enjoy.

And with this simple short video Joe has managed again why I feel so good to live on Madeira...

Growing my own veggies and all kinds of fruit. We reduced supermarket expenses in half.

Freedom is an illusion. You cannot lose something that does not exist.

Message from PB Bitcoin Curaçao Here is how I would attack bitcoin if I were a bankster or a state level attacker. First, I would concentrate my attack on nodes. Because that is the most decentralized aspect of bitcoin. Miners are already very centralized, and devs are also a pretty small bunch. It's easy to compromise 20 miners and 20 devs. Not so easy to compromise or control 25,000 nodes, half of them on the tor network. I would start by infiltrating the devs. Nothing too extravagant, perhaps simple invite to a dinner on the Epstein island? And bring about a pro-spam attitude. Every time a new door opens up for spam, my compromised devs would do nothing about it and say stupid shit like "They are valid transactions", or " They paid the miner fee", or "That would be censorship", or "The fee market will chase them out with some magic smoke in the fee market that somehow won't chase out the real bitcoiners". All excuses to do nothing about spam. Ensure that the plebs are never given the tools to filter out that shit. "We can't do anything, and even if we could, we shouldn't." And when the time is right, I would flood the chain with filth and illicit materials. Child porn, bestiality, snuff pictures, state secrets, North Korean nuclear launch codes, racist and extremist memes, you name it. Of course that would cause many many nodes to just tap out. Nobody wants that shit at home on their own machine around their family. Than I would SWAT the homes of a few prominent bitcoiners. If a kid or a wife gets shot in the commotion, all the better. And I would parade them on town square as the examples. They might win their case in court after years and years. But who cares, so long as I get to ruin them. Of course this would be a great deal more difficult to do if they were just running a node. But accusing them of hosting and distributing child porn would gain huge popular support. As a result, many more nodes will tap out. The incentives to run a node for free are already pretty small. But risking to get SWAT'd over a hard drive that's got tons and tons of child porn, that would get me for sure. "Oh my god! Won't someone think of the children!" "I have no pity for those degenerate bitcoiners who collect and spread this child porn!" And the remaining handful of nodes can be licensed. You know, to make sure they are not child pornographers. It's the classic Hegelian dianetics: create a problem, offer the solution to the problem they created, and the solution is what they wanted to do all along. And even if the above plan doesn't work all that well, at least the bad PR on bitcoin suppresses adoption for a bit longer until I can fully implement my digital ID and my CBDC.

I will not recommend a Trezor anymore...
