MacUpdater is a great macOS software that will cease service in January 2026. If you want an alternative, I recommend

Updatest

Your new home for macOS app updates

, which is based on homebrew and does not require third-party servers. Although, if you know how to use homebrew, you don't really need this type of software.

Good morning! I forgot to say good morning because of all the nonsense I read. - Islamists who think they're so important, as if they contribute anything to the world other than hatred and backwardness. - Western elites obsessed with repopulating Europe. - Bitcoiners now embroiled in the debate of the month, quantum computing. - People praising an unscrupulous braggart (an Islamist, by the way) like Andrew Tate, who should be the model not to follow for any man. - Epstein's list that never comes out, the Bitcoin reserve that never comes out, BOLT12 that is not implemented in LND, Star Citizen unfinished, GNU HURD without Wayland, and I still don't have a fusion reactor, let alone a quantum computer. Another week and no positive progress in the world.

More than quantum threats and even more than spam, I am concerned about the lack of interest in Bitcoin privacy. However, as you know, without privacy there is no freedom and so on. That said, it's also worth studying what Signal or SimpleX have done with regard to quantum computing. It's all about assessing the risk-benefit ratio, which is obviously not the same in Bitcoin as it is in Signal. Just another drama, while the bad guys continue to win day after day, as the world gets worse and worse and Bitcoin has failed to solve anything (and neither has Monero 😂).

😂 I don't know anyone who died from Covid.

How to clean UTXO with Lightning. Open a private channel, for example, for 1 Bitcoin to a node that has a lot of liquidity. Send it through this channel to Boltz and perform a swap in liquid because it is much cheaper. For security and to avoid time and liquidity analysis, do not do everything at the same time and break it down. Use AMP and MMP if available. Boltz will not know where that money comes from, and if you make several transactions, they will not know that they are from the same user, as long as you use Tor. Boltz will only know that so much money arrived and that it was sent to a certain Liquid address, nothing else. The private node you are connected to also does not know where that money is going. It may be to Boltz, it may not. Once you have everything in Liquid and want to return to Bitcoin, use sideswap so that the provider is different and cannot associate the last swap in the chain. You start with a UTXO that has a history associated with you and end up with a UTXO that has nothing to do with you. You can reuse the channel as many times as you want. And the cost of this is ridiculously low. Good luck tracking this. It may seem more difficult than Monero, but this leaves no complete log of the entire process on a blockchain, only partial logs on the servers that perform swaps with missing information, information that is not even available to them on another server. I have yet to see Chainalysis show any de-anonymization attacks on Lightning.

Arthur Hayes' articles are excellent, among the best out there along with Michael Howell's. Of course, you have to keep in mind that Arthur is a shitcoiner and will always try to sell you the shitcoins he wants to see rise in value, but if you keep this in mind and also ignore his Bitcoin price predictions, which are also false, the rest is pure gold on how the fiat system scam works. Since 2008, and even more so since Covid, the technique used by central banks to inject liquidity into the system, the famous QE, has become very evident. But this changed with Janet Yellen and how the market was flooded with liquidity through the US Treasury despite the Federal Reserve conducting QT. Now they are going to use another system, RMP or Reserve Management Purchases, all to mask inflation. It's worth reading Arthur's article so you can understand all this crap. https://medium.com/@cryptohayes/love-language-2b38c6786fa0

When you try to do something in life by saving in Fiat.

How much would these things cost now? Think about what is really happening with the degradation of the fiat currency.

Good morning: The total degradation of fiat has also reached boxing and martial arts fights, which are sinking lower every day. How ridiculous everything that is happening around boxing is. They wouldn't have the balls to go against this.
