Not that I’m aware of, no. But I don’t have much reason to use that, so I haven’t really looked for something like that either.

Simplex is the better choice imo.

Financial institution security is quite frankly a freaking joke. My bank only has the options for 11 character passwords at maximum. It’s like oh come on that is way too easy these days

Cool? It was 20:9 or whatever.

The funny thing is when I saw the article title, that’s the first thing that came to my mind as well.

I like the reference to the ship of Thysius.

Will it boot into fast boot when starting up with like pressing the volume up or volume down key at boot? Because as long as you can get into fast boot, you can fix it.

As somebody who’s fucked up with custom ROMs several times and made bricks out of my phone, they are soft bricks and can be fixed. Sometimes it’s not easy, but it can be fixed.

Not at the moment. No. I used to have one of those Netgate firewalls using pfsense i could do vpn on but i really didnt see the point. By using ControlD as my DNS i block known malware, ads, and trackers for free. Obviously that does not protect from everything, but it goes a long way towards helping.

I use ControlD on my router and mobile devices

Very true

Because to go to a clearnet website through the tor network, you have three hops. And to go to a hidden service, you have six hops.

Clearnet: You, guard middle, exit, website <-> website, exit, middle, guard, you

Onion service You, guard, middle, your rendezvous, service rendezvous, service middle, service guard, service <-> service guard, service middle, service rendezvous, your rendezvous, your middle, your guard, you.

All those hops add latency because of having to traverse anywhere between three and six different networks over the internet.

As much as it slows down the internet, it seems like it might be worth it to just start using tor at all times for everything.

Mmm, why dont u tell them

Obviously they can print it and give everybody their 250,000 back or whatever and if they do such then we will have hyperinflation like nobody’s business and the 250k you get back will be not worth the paper it’s printed on so to speak it won’t be worth shit

This is what fiat currency, corruption, and price controls lead to.

From what I’ve heard, we have about 4,000 banks and so most of those are going to be smaller regional banks. We only have a few big ones that take up most of the news cycle.

I don’t know a whole hell of a lot about the UK, so I will speak to the US. When the Federal Reserve raised interest rates, it has put tons of pressure on the commercial real estate office sector and has put serious pressure on most all of the regional banks. Your JP Morgan and your Wells Fargo are decently alright. But your local town banks are absolutely hurting. And enough of those very well could go bust to cause major issues. JP Morgan going down would be slicing an artery, but all these little banks going down would be death by a thousand cuts. You end up dying either way. It’s just how quick does it happen?

It eats them like cookie monster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye8mB6VsUHw

We supposedly have $250k, but the FDIC has 1% of the money they say they cover. A very few big banks or many small banks fail and the FDIC is broke and the money would have to be printed by the fed and cause hyperinflation. I bet your regulator has only a small percent too.
