This piece is AMAZING!

went hard in the paint on this one. hope you enjoy. prints #1-10 on auction tomorrow

RT @snowclipsed: this week

I'm tired boss

🚨🚨🚨 ALERTE SÉCURITÉ MAXIMALE ! Python est compromis. 🔸 Mettez immédiatement pip à la version 26.2.2 ou plus. 🔸 Dans chaque projet Python (chaque venv) : python -m pip install --upgrade pip 🔸 uv : uv self update (0.13.4 ou plus) 🔸 Mettez aussi à jour les certificats du système (apt / dnf upgrade ca-certificates) et vos images Docker pip install est compromis. L'autorité indienne eMudhra (emSign), qui signe les « passeports » prouvant qu'un site est bien celui qu'il prétend être, utilisait des clés secrètes ridiculement faibles : 8 clés, toutes inférieures à 256. L'une valait 4. Autrement dit, n'importe qui peut fabriquer un faux passeport valide pour n'importe quel site. Le risque pour Python : quelqu'un sur ton réseau (wifi public, FAI, État) se fait passer pour et ton « pip install » télécharge un paquet piégé sans aucune alerte. Aucune attaque n'a été signalée pour l'instant, mais c'est trivial à faire. Un paquet piégé peut installer n'importe quoi. Porte dérobée, virus, vol d'informations en tout genre. La situation est terrifiante ! Rien que dans l'écosystème Python, chaque installation de CPython, chaque venv, uv, tout est exposé. Et je ne vous parle même pas de npm, pnpm, yarn, Go, Rust. Ma stratégie de sécurité 2026 : rester chez moi et ne me connecter à Internet que depuis un FAI de confiance. C'est quand il y a de la mer qu'on reconnaît les vrais marins...

They said fight the power. I've seen the power look pretty powerful....

Follow every rule. That's how we fight it.

RT @Rob1Ham: If the options are letting Anthropic/OpenAI control AI or 10% chance of the death of humanity, I hit the death of humanity button without thinking twice. A fascistic oligopoly of AI is worse than the scary world of open models. Death is preferable. I won’t let freedom yield to fear.

RT @miketwenty1: Seriously means a lot to everyone involved in TABConf this year! The grant program for @tabconf is officially closed. Great applicants this year! We've approved 22 grantees. Anyone else who needs funding will need to seek assistance elsewhere. h/t to @HRF being a no strings attached sponsor. We have used their sponsorship to lead our grant program this year to help folks in need come out! We're still in the position to provide free tickets to those who genuinely can't afford one and are either students or working on a bitcoin/bitcoin-adjacent project, but that's all were able to offer at this point. Really pumped about TABConf this year! Still on the todo list: - CTB puzzle - Solidifying Schedule on github, day of activities - Tons of admin work - Procure wristbands, collectable poker chips, posters - Finalize Swag apparel - Sponsor Signage - After party location announcement - hoping to get a sponsor soon for this. 30 Days and counting! See y'all Oct 12-15! If you made it this far and you're registered for TABConf you're probably getting email that are being filtered under promo/advertisements. Search for them. If you haven't registered yet, please do.

It looks like ~4,000 BTC just moved from the Liquid Network bridge all at once with an OP Return saying, "we are whitehats. contact us on chain". TXID: c103de95817b43f2df635ec6f35ff126ca26a7c6d20570c4b01866b2b3e69a19
