Don't know how it works for large drug dealers but I would assume they use the same channels as money launderers: overseas accounts. You get in contact with a connections guy and they give you a list of accounts to pay in yuan (usually

And in case people think this is just propaganda, I can vouch for this as someone that lived in China for a few years as a foreigner and currently live in the UK. Everyone does it, it's normal, even police do it… I am much more concern

I for one am really worried about the UK Digital Visa system. There are just so many ways it can break down Airport WiFi - people can easily run deauth with aircrack-ng. Email server might be down Phone out of battery Etc

If I was Russian, sure. I think it’s best to always use exit nodes/proxies in geopolitically opposed countries to prevent collaboration between states. E.g. use western VPNs while in China, use Russian/Chinese tunnels in the west.

XMR -> other crypto -> fiat. Send your Monero around a few wallets and the government will know you have Monero but not the origin. There are probably alternatives to LocalMonero WIP

I completely disagree. Military service should be voluntary considering the risks and long term mental health effects. If my country ever implements conscription, the first thing I’m doing is getting another country’s citizenship at all cos

After moving to the UK, it has been my policy to pretend to see nothing. During my first week in university, I found a vulnerability in two of their servers allowing me to execute arbitrary code/commands + escalate to root due to a ver

This is not new at all. I did this 2-3 years back to find the phone number of some teachers/classmate with some random open source tool on GitHub.

My god this is an ignorant take. They were lucky to be born in a safe country. I am happy for them. Children do not choose where they are born. They did not choose to be in the way. I was gonna stay neutral in my wording but it irritates me

Killing people that “happen to be in the way” is actually a war crime FYI. Should that be changed?

Are you saying that the 30% children are also terrorists?

I’ve heard people argue that the intent is unclear when over 60% of the death toll in Gaza are civilians. I have obviously never been involved in war so I’m not sure if that’s normal.

> destroyed absolutely without question or hesitation I think the concern is this line. Israel is trying to “destroy absolutely without question” Hamas but at the same time “accidentally” targeting civilians and “incite terror” amongst P

There are p2p exchanges that are legitimate and actually decentralized. They can easily convert their traceable bitcoin to untraceable Monero over a few years and they’ll have enough to live off of for years.

I’ve hit something similar before. Ended up installing Linux on it instead. Was a few years ago so not sure if that would still work

I had access to this a few months back due to an insecure API endpoint by the name of “rainbow”. It was extremely useful until they noticed and shut it down. This was before GPT-4 itself was released to the public.

I dislike the vocabulary as well but XMR is by no means obscure. It’s the most widely accepted fully anonymous crypto currency used on most darkweb markets

My concern is that they are logging traffic and will retroactively enforce new laws. This is concerning for someone born in an Islamic country and having lived in China (both somewhat enemies of the UK occasionally - I don’t actually know i

The UK on its way towards becoming like China. I thought I would never have to use VPNs again after leaving but oh well. Notes from my 5 years in China: - Use a protocol like trojan-gfw over cloudflare. It 1: hides the fact that you’re usin
