Hey #nostr Interesting article about the Zodiac killer case.. A self-taught codebreaker claims he's finally cracked it, and the twist is that his solution also connects to the Black Dahlia murder from 1947. Former NSA cryptographers and retired LAPD homicide detectives are backing him up. Whether you're a true crime fan or not, this one's semi-interesting. The Codebreaker Alex Baber, a 50-year-old self-taught cryptographer from West Virginia with autism, claims to have cracked the Zodiac killer's infamous Z13 cipher—a 13-character code the killer sent in 1970 that has stumped experts for decades. The Method Baber used AI to generate 71 million possible 13-letter names, then cross-referenced them against military, census, and other records using known details about the Zodiac killer. After nine months of 18-20 hour days, he narrowed candidates from millions to one name: "Marvin Merrill." The Connection Marvin Merrill was an alias used by Marvin Margolis—a man who had been a suspect in the 1947 Black Dahlia murder. Margolis was a WWII Navy corpsman and premed student who had lived with victim Elizabeth Short shortly before her death. He changed his name and moved after her murder. Supporting Evidence Two retired LAPD homicide detectives and three former NSA cryptographers have endorsed the findings. They point to additional links, including a 1992 sketch Margolis made before his death depicting a woman named "Elizabeth" with the word "Zodiac" allegedly hidden in the shading. The detectives view it as a deathbed confession to both crimes. The Status While the retired detectives consider the cases solved with "overwhelming circumstantial evidence," the LAPD has not prioritized investigating further. The findings are explored in a new podcast called "Killer in the Code."

About #maduro … REPOSTED.. As a Venezuelan, I can say this plainly: much of the left leaning media is going to aggressively twist this story. What needs to be understood is that when the bombs fell, they struck only military bases and an international airport that had already been closed, with all international flights suspended. Many Venezuelans did not panic, they cheered from their homes when they saw the helicopters. This was not random or uninformed support. Roughly 75% of Venezuelans voted for María Corina Machado, backing her platform and her openly stated plan to pursue cooperation with the United States, including the possibility of U.S. intervention, to remove Nicolás Maduro from power in exchange for reopening Venezuela to free trade. This was a calculated choice. Venezuela has resources the United States wants, and the United States has the leverage and support Venezuela needs. It was a path we knowingly chose, fully aware of the risks involved. Love it or hate it, do not accept the narrative at face value. This was not imposed on us. We chose this path.

Hey there #damus peeps and #nostr - Happy New Year…. After getting fed up with the shit that Alby did to my Sats combined with their shitty documentation I decided to look at alternatives.. unfortunately there is zero way to self host a lightning wallet (due to the need to have liquidity on the chain to back it). But so far for the 100 bucks worth of bitcoin I spent using #cluborange at least I have something that seems stable enough and there’s enough usage of it that I won’t outright *lose* sats.. I’ll get right to the point - If you are looking for a decent way to send sats around without the risk of losing a lightning channel - for now at least Club Orange seems to get the job done.. and I have a referral link if you decide to join… @Club Orange
