Few

I gamed a ton as a kid, then took a 25-year break. Picked up a Steam Deck for a long flight and ended up rediscovering the joy of gaming.

Grabbed this from the booth at DEFCON two years ago. Been self hosting Bitcoin ever since. Still running solid, barely have to touch it, just keeps chugging along. Hopefully some DEFCON venders accept lightning payments this next week and I can spend these sweet self hosted zaps.

Words matter? This guy?

Gab has the best response - “We do this to protect you. Unless they pay us, then screw you.”

Hidden room? Like behind a bookshelf? What does that even mean? 🙄

I’m not saying security isn’t necessary, especially when there are real threats like physical assaults, but I also believe violence and force are the lowest forms of communication. Too often we ask, “How do we stop the crackheads, shoplifters, alcoholics?” when the better question is, “What systems allowed or even encouraged this behavior?” Other people aren’t the enemy. The real fight is against the systems of injustice that shape their lives and ours.

Two weeks! LFG! #defcon #hacker #lasvegas

Pete’s a good dude. I’ve been listening to him since the early WBD days. The new pod’s decent. I don’t question his intentions, and I think it’s fair to say he’s not calling anyone “the enemy.” He’s clearly doing a lot of good for his town. My only critique is the private security part. The only kind of security I can really get behind is when the community has buy in and skin in the game. When it’s just one person funding it, it starts to feel like a benevolent dictator situation.

The only correct follow up: Oh, and Mr. Powell, just out of curiosity, what would you generally do if you knew someone was on the Epstein list?
