Virtue Signaling Gone Wrong

Node-ipc is some sort of open source nodejs library used widely by developers and software companies. The guy who wrote or maintains this package took justice into his own hands and added rogue code that overwrites everything on your filesystem if your server has an IP address in Russia or Belarus. An NGO that collects reports of war crimes and government abuse in Russia/Belarus had servers running the package's code in Belarus. When the server's code was updated, the rogue code removes everything on the file system, which appear to be tens of thousands of messages detailing war crimes that were awaiting a process to pick them up and store them on servers or databases outside of the region. The data is likely not recoverable.

tl;dr: some faggot libtard coder wanted to get back on pootin but instead wrecked an Anti-Russia NGO and is now likely sued for cybercrime.

For a long time I avoided investing in most crypto because the majority are surveillance coins. XMR is a long-term hold (your own personal Swiss bank account), but I believe there are many more opportunities coming this year. Crypto is the highest appreciating asset, and it's important that we can make enough to escape the rat race and have the means to support our kin.

Here are a few improvements you should make when it comes to your crypto-currency wallet.

1) Never enter or store your seed phrase on any device. People have lost everything because they took a picture of their seed phrase or emailed it to themselves without any encryption. It's hard to get phished if you never enter your seed on any device.

2) Invest in a trusted hardware wallet (DYOR). Not only does it generate your seed phrase without ever being connected to the internet, but a 24 word phrase is far more secure than a 12 word hot wallet (like MetaMask).

3) For a more permanent way of ensuring your seed phrase doesn't wash away in the laundry, consider stamping your seed phrase into steel and stashing that someplace hidden. This backup to your assets will be more resistant to the elements like accidental floodings or a house fire than a paper copy sitting in your desk would.

4) You could also separate your seed phrase by dividing portions of it between trusted family members or friends. For example, say you keep the first third of your seed in a safe at your house, a second third in a safety deposit box at your bank, and the final third with your best friend. In case of a police raid or similar criminal break-in, they could not recover the entire phrase. You can see why having multiple backups is important too.

🇫🇷💥 SABOTAGE AGAINST FRENCH INTERNET CABLES: MAJOR OUTAGES

👉🏻 France's main internet service providers say that last night and midday, major sabotage operations were aimed at cutting fibre optic internet cables in Lille, Strasbourg, Marseille and Paris, the country's main cities.

🔎 This major sabotage has led to the shutdown of the internet in several entire districts of these major cities as well as the shutdown of telephone services, since the relay antennas are out of order.

📌 No one has claimed responsibility for the attack. The minister in charge of digital issues said he found it extremely worrying because it is unprecedented.

It seems that earlier tonight, members of Patriot Front (and Antifa) were arrested before they could do a flash mob against a sodomy pride event in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. An officer at the scene was recorded saying there was an informant within PF who tipped them off.

Infiltration is to be expected in groups. The pigs will use any excuse to arrest and flag dissidents, even if the charges fail to hold up. I'm not totally familiar with how red flag laws work, but it really wouldn't surprise me if a non-violent misdemeanor that took place across state lines could get a pro-White individual's guns taken away.

As always, it is important to examine the potential outcomes whenever participating in a publicly named "hate" group.

Never trust your cloud provider. If you are serious about maintaining the privacy and integrity of what you store in the cloud, you must encrypt your files before they are uploaded.

Just in time for Canada Day, the RCMP admits to using spyware to infiltrate the devices of multiple suspects, including the ability to remotely turn on the camera and microphone of a targeted phone or laptop. They kvetch over how the use of encryption makes surveillance difficult.

This isn't anything new, and not even surprising for the totalitarian shithole — after all, the Trudeau government tracked everyone's movements and the Canadian military openly admitted to using pandemic propaganda against its citizenry.

There are ways to harden your phone's security, but they generally shouldn't be used for anything you wouldn't say in front of a cop. Don't let yourself be a low-hanging fruit.

There have been a lot of wild events this week.

There was a nationwide internet outage for Rogers customers in Canada, which prevented all debit card transactions, and even interfered with police communications. They claim it was due to a failed update to the network. Incompetence or a cyber attack?

The now-bankrupt Sri Lanka is popping off. There have been massive riots over food (with soldiers authorized to use lethal force), and protesters taking DIRECT ACTION against their president by burning his mansion down.

But I think most exciting for me is to see the Farmers' Revolt taking place in the Netherlands. My understanding is that their government said "since cows cause too much pollution, we need to seize farmers' land to build housing for new migrants."

Inspired by the Freedom Convoy at the start of the year, the farmers have been taking to the streets. In response to the non-violent protest, Dutch pigs actually opened fire on a youth in a tractor! That 16 year old behind the wheel has been arrested for attempted homicide (despite driving in the opposite direction) and it has emboldened protesters. The resistance have been blocking highways, airports, and food distribution centers, as well as spraying manure on riot police and government buildings. They're not letting up; they even have a tank. And now German Farmers are following suit.

These 3 significant events show that chaos can happen anywhere. During a brief period when the banking system is down, cash is king. $100-300 in small denominations should be kept on hand. I believe food insecurity will be one of the biggest issues this decade. I don't have a crystal ball, but you don't need one when the United Nations says world hunger is a good thing (archive). Yes, our enemies have the unchecked egos of cartoon supervillains. Factor in the wheat fields and food processing facilities that have gone up in flames to boot. Grow your own heirloom vegetables, and make connections with local farmers.

And remember... things can escalate on a moment's notice.

Metadata Removal
Metadata consists of pieces of information that characterize data. Metadata is useful for manipulating and classifying a pool of data, but can reveal sensitive pieces of information that one may not want to reveal. Bits of information such as the manufacturer and model of phone used to take a photo all the way down to GPS coordinates can be embedded in files as metadata. Cleaning files of this information before sharing them is absolutely crucial which is why I have made this list - to enable you to scrub as much metadata as possible from your files before you share them.

While this list is not by any means comprehensive, these tools should help you stay safe if you use them properly. I have ranked them from easiest (top) to hardest (bottom) to use. Carefully read the documentation for each tool beforehand. Each tool is free and open source software.

How disillusioned teenage boys and loose-lipped dissidents end up with journalists at their (parents') door.

@PrivSecGoy

(Also note how they publicly show the exterior of the apartment building, the button they pressed for that residence, the floor number the family lives on, and the father's uncensored face at 3:28)

And just for the record, this isn't meant to be funny. A lot of young people have growing pains, trying to make sense of the world – maybe they spent too much time on /b/ or /pol/, maybe they had a toxic household with absent/abusive/neglectful parents, maybe they were just astute and clued in that things weren't exactly as they were told it was by adults, or maybe they just were edgy attention-seekers.

Regardless, these are kids and their brains haven't fully developed yet. If these journos were legitimately concerned of a terror attack by these minors, they would have reported their findings to the feds. Instead, they brought a camera man to confront the kid's family.

These journalists are desperately trying to get recognition for being the Shabbos Goy they are. This is an example of one of the many encounters between taxpayer-funded organizations that intimidate and cause emotional distress and economic/psychological harm to vulnerable teenage dissidents.

Let's call it what it is – State-sanctioned child abuse.

Handbook of Hate Memes

"Hate memes as early warning signs
Hateful thoughts about others and often strong (visual) frames that carry them have been described for centuries in human history. In more recent times, the Second World War and the Holocaust loom large as an extreme outgrowth of hateful thought and action. Although the origins of this mass violence lie in a complex interplay of actors and factors that bring it from idea to deed, an ever-present element is precisely this hateful framing of ‘the other’. Those who are not like us, have different ideas, different behavior, different values, different culture, different religion, and above all look different to us."

Notes: this is a sort of a coffee table book co-funded by the EU with illustrations and examples of rightwing meme culture. It contains everything from Pepe the frog to Tyrone and the Happy merchant. (2022)
