More than 30 people were murdered in Melbourne during a series of ruthless assassinations over a period from the late 1990s and into the 2000s <<< https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-18/nsw-gang-investigators-look-at-melbo… Reposts not shallow-graves

FEDBOOK contracting is a good sign
by professor rat 18 May '22

18 May '22

Fedbook now marks a dirty high-water-mark of the globalized internet platform. Sort of like a McDonalds of the web. And now both corporates are receding from the fiction of Francis Fuck-yo-Mama that we had reached the end of history with corporate globalized neo-liberalism. You may say that's bad since the rise of Red Fascism in China and Chekist revanchism in Russia. But neither of those two can make any claim to global hegemony - and they know it. This leaves an opening for us and the posing of a stark choice - cryptoanarchist revolution or business-as-usual conformity. We are now the only valid and viable alternative to the status quo. Welcome to the revolution!

I thought it was funny that a supposedly ( world-is-flat ) globalized net platform was suddenly turning patriotic American standing firm against the looming totalitarian menace from the East. Remember " True Lies "? Similar preposterous nonsense. But I hear you - I'll put in some emoj's next time. Also add context for uber morons - like " FEDBOOK as last- (USA) line-of-defense

ISP/System/Remote-API Misbehaviors

This morning, I saw a long test upload of mine had failed. It keeps failing on restart. It calls out to a tool called arkb, but fails with this: Requesting: https://arweave.net:443/tx_anchor Error: timeout of 100000ms exceeded The error shows it is a simple GET request, and happens again when I run the process again. You can see the full error uploaded at https://arweave.net/bxVRcuA4AIDlVqV_Z5L2tW742TQkS4pwxVnw-FZotxA . Meanwhile, if I do the request manually, it's working fine: $ time curl https://arweave.net/tx_anchor t4cNiM_h_U_6lA0DGq5qYSb-vGGp3L7B0K0L74M6f-4LfJNZP2sHfe_nB3M3bQFF real 0m0.564s user 0m0.024s sys 0m0.011s Similarly, uploading the error message worked fine. The failure only happens from a specific arkb upload, and presently is happening reliably. It's frustrating that I see no immediate indication of why the error would occur, and would need to resort to a packet log to properly diagnose it. The call happens within a dependency library of arkb.

He's ignored all comradely, collegial and convivial requests to modify his output downwards so that's why I started a deadpool on him ( and his fellow spammers, Gramps and Nazi ) If cypherpunks can't clean up their own back yard how is crypto-anarchy ever supposed to work world-wide? Money where mouth is - put up or shut up - and TAKE out the TRASH - the worst first.

American Edge ads bash policymakers seeking to regulate the Internet as having a “misguided agenda,” or wanting to “take away the technology we use every day.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/05/17/american-edge-facebook… In advertisements and op-eds, American Edge plays on fears about the tech prowess of China, a talking point of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The group also argues, in ominous tones, that new antitrust laws will weaken the American tech sector, hurting the tools used by minority-owned small businesses and dismantling companies that could provide a line of defense against cyberattacks from an increasingly aggressive Russia.

Federal Judge Says Crypto Anonymity a Myth as US Authorities Charge American in $10,000,000 Sanction Evasion

So ' everyone a Mint ' is known and even 'everyone a remailer' -there's an App for that. Cypherpunks Subject: Everyone a remailer: Everyone a Mint: Everyone an assassin https://marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=100872510706876&w=2 APster the killer app Most judges are cops and can die along with them. Then, on top of this soon-to-be, imperfect, modified Brinworld that would be low hanging fruit for any hostile alien invaders such as seen in " Independence Day ", we now see incoming technologies that create cryptoanarchy by default. Ubiquitous quantum and strong AI mean perfect 'species anonymity'. And enough individual anonymity to satisfy the most radical crypto-anarchist. The revolution rolls on creating bounty law - viva la revolution.
