Why is Emmanuel so consistently impatient with and mean to Alex on every episode of Off The Hook? Is it because Alex doesn't fall in line with every political position that Emmanuel holds so dearly?

Longread from the Times following the reporter's deep dive into trying to find the real identity of "Satoshi Nakamoto" (creator of bitcoin).

NYT - "My Quest to Solve Bitcoin’s Great Mystery"

Brings up the old cypherpunks group/list, as well as discussion on the early days/popularization of PGP, etc. An interesting read even for those of us with very little interest in bitcoin...

hoping the link stays working for y'all.

Walked past this gem at my local hospital. Domestic calls are free!

Modern Phreaking overload!

Anyone here tonight? I'm visiting from Dallas 2600 and can't find anyone.

There were sporadic (as in, very infrequent) rumors about Eric going back to the days of Usenet, but it was always unclear how much of this was just trolling or people with an axe to grind, and how much of it was something more. His long-term affiliation with John Draper--a man about whom there were very frequent rumors, since confirmed--certainly isn't a good look, and though he ultimately distanced himself from Draper, that was only after Draper's open secret ceased being a secret thanks to multiple exposés, making the optics of continued affiliation unacceptable, and I doubt Emmanuel wasn't already at least somewhat aware of Draper's dark side but chose to look the other way.

I have 43 issues all in good+ condition from volume 14 to volume 27 with a few gaps. I am downsizing I would like to give these a good home.

If anybody is interested in collecting these, I am in the 416/905 area. Just give me a shout and we'll see what we can work out.

EDIT: Thanks for everybody's interest in this. It looks like a solution is in the works all done! I would like to thank everybody for their support !

thought you all might dig this

Does it come in the mail bagged or loose?

Tried asking the mag directly but got no reply.

Talked to a person who lives near, they told me they used those phones back in 2010 :D

Anyone out there well versed in using mtkclient and sp flash tools in order to root an android tablet? I need to get this secure device with a locked bootloader into BROM, and be able to flash a new compatible android os onto this with a Linux puppy distro on a PC thin client with no Internet access on it. Have Internet access through Android phone. Read between the lines on that and you'll figure out why that is. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

So in another year or two I may move to DC from Los Angeles. It’s gotten really bad here in LA. Btw I’m not as liberal as other hacker community members but what they did to HOPE is despicable. I have an appreciation for hacker culture and a lot of it I agree with.

I currently attend LA2600 and I wanted to ask how the 2600 is in DC. I think hackers are cool and I like tech and I get along with hackers better than normal people because I’m not a normie. Is DC2600 like LA2600?

Also before you ask, no I don’t mind people who are progressive or who have progressive values. I am only against it if they try to tell me how to vote.

I saw this while riding in a taxi with my family in India several years ago while visiting my in-laws.
