Crypto Sovereignty is a project by Erik Cason He dives deep into the weird, wild mix of philosophy, politics, and cryptography behind Bitcoin Instead of charts or trading tips, he explores how Bitcoin flips the script on authority, truth, and power It’s kind of like if Nietzsche, Foucault, and a cypherpunk walked into a bar and started talking about blockchains Erik argues that Bitcoin isn’t just money but it’s a tool for self-sovereignty and resistance It challenges the state, questions who gets to decide what’s “true,” and imagines a world where people verify, not trust “Bitcoin is a weapon for the defense of life, liberty, and property in cyberspace.” Can definitely recommend his book as well cryptosovereignty.org

Ethereum researcher Justin Drake stated in an interview that a 51% attack on Bitcoin would be much cheaper than on Ethereum, estimating the cost to attack Bitcoin at around $10 billion. In contrast, attacking Ethereum, due to its PoS mechanism, would require controlling over 50% of staked ETH (currently valued at approximately $44.8 billion), with price volatility potentially driving the cost even higher.

51% attack on Ethereum more difficult than on Bitcoin — Justin Drake

According to Ethereum researcher Justin Drake in a statement to Cointelegraph, it would cost roughly $10 billion to launch a 51% attack on Bitcoin ...

Is these people stupid? To do a 51% attack you require to be 51% of all nodes! To become 51% of all nodes you need a source of electricity. Lets just pretend you will use Iran as the 51% attack In Iran , you must buy a plot of land then must buy around 10-15 billion usd worth of miners You’re electricity cost will be like probably maybe 250k in total So you do all of this, and you get nothing at the end of it. Or Wipe out the internet for every country around the world including satellites ( but then again you cant do anything! ) The theory of a 51% attack is long outdated and is used by morons who want to cause fear in the system Hacking the FIAT system is alot easier than Bitcoin. Why hack bitcoin when you can hack and print and copy infinite cash

📱 Apple Clipboard Protection MacOS 16 will implement a new feature that will alert users when a Mac app accesses the clipboard without direct user interaction, preventing apps from unknowingly reading (copying) clipboard data. We already found something similar in iOS and Android, however, this doesn't happen in Windows and any running application can access the clipboard without restrictions, making it less secure by design. In Linux it will depend on the desktop environment used but there are no "default" warnings.

🌐 Kernel-level Tor isolation for any Linux application. • The Tor Project team has released an open source solution called oniux for isolating Tor at the kernel level for any Linux application. The project's source code is written in Rust and published under the MIT license.

"When running privacy-critical applications and services, developers want to be sure that every packet truly only goes through Tor. One mistyped proxy setting or one system call outside of a SOCKS shell, and suddenly your data is at risk. That’s why today we’re excited to introduce oniux: a small command-line utility that provides Tor network isolation for third-party applications using Linux namespaces. — The Tor Project explains." • It's worth noting that there is already a tool with a similar purpose, known as torsocks, which works by rewriting all libc networking functions to route traffic through the SOCKS proxy offered by Tor. This project has the notable drawback that applications making system calls not through the dynamically linked libc , whether malicious or not, can leak data. It also excludes support for purely static binaries and applications from the Zig ecosystem. • Oniux can be useful for running privacy-critical applications and services. Usage is as simple as adding a call to the "oniux" utility before running the desired program. For example, to send a request via curl over Tor, you can run " oniux curl URL ", and to route any requests within a shell session through Tor, you can run " oniux bash ". Isolation of graphical applications is supported.

We live in a time of comfort and abundance, but many people feel empty, anxious, and depressed. Modern life is easy compared to the past, yet people struggle with finding meaning and purpose. Too much comfort and lack of real challenges make us restless and unhappy. Social isolation, too much screen time, and fast-paced living increase feelings of loneliness and stress. Humans are built for close communities and overcoming hardship, but today we feel lost in big, impersonal societies. Real growth and happiness come from facing challenges, taking risks, and pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones. To feel truly alive, we must embrace uncertainty and struggle, not hide from it.

📱 Meta's most privacy-intrusive glasses Meta is developing facial recognition technology for its smart glasses and future camera-equipped headsets.

Meta’s next hardware project might be AI-infused headphones with cameras

Meta is in the early stages of “exploring” designs for AI-enabled headphones, according to a new report in The Information.

This feature, part of "super sensing" mode, would allow nearby faces to be identified by name, but only with voluntary activation by the user. But there's something even worse: people wouldn't be notified or have to give consent to be scanned. Although the current Ray-Ban Meta glasses turn on a light when recording, Meta is considering removing this signal in future versions. Additionally, the company has adjusted its privacy policies, enabling AI by default and removing the option to opt out of storing voice recordings.
