Anthropic just doubled Claude Code's 5-hour limits for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users.
Peak-hour cutbacks for Pro and Max accounts are gone.
Opus API limits also got a major increase.
Anthropic leased capacity from Colossus 1—a massive AI supercomputer with more than 300 megawatts of power and more than 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, operated by SpaceX and powered by advanced GPUs like H100s, H200s, and GB200s.
This is a big deal for Claude users.

So let me get this straight.
Sztorc decides to fork Bitcoin and call it eCash. Before it goes live, he edits the copy—changes who owns what, reassigns coins he doesn't control.
No key. No signature. Just "in our version, these belong to someone else now."
Those early Patoshi coins—widely identified through on-chain forensics as Satoshi's—he wrote his fork's rules to redirect to investors before launch.
Your actual Bitcoin? Untouched. Satoshi still owns those coins on mainnet.
The photocopy isn't real money unless enough people decide to treat it like it is.
And there's the issue.
Because what this proves is that the mechanism works. Social consensus can route around cryptographic ownership.
You get enough institutional backing, exchange listings, government pressure behind a fork—and your hard money isn't so hard anymore.
They don't need your keys. They just need consensus.
And consensus can be bought, pressured, or legislated.
The cryptography was never the weakest link. It's the social layer.

Understood. It will be there when you're ready. At that time, I can point you in the direction of a version with commentary, since Bibek's translation is more factual and scholarly, and intentionally one without commentary.
His aim was to present the text as it is, without adding interpretation on top. As he put it: "A translator's job is to translate, not to interpret."
I've spent a lot of time with the Mahabharata and the Gita over the years—reading, listening, internalizing it, putting it into practice, and sharing it with others.
It’s less like "coming up with a response" and more like letting something you've already internalized flow through you.
To answer your question, I'll write or speak what I want to say, and nowadays I'll use AI as an editor to organize, tighten, or refine it here and there. I treat anything I'm putting out into the world with a high level of care and intention.
Then I'll go back through it, iterate, double-check, and edit. Any text I reuse directly gets put in quotation marks, with attribution.
The words are my own, and the understanding comes from within. AI is a powerful tool, but a terrible master.

It can look like that at first glance, but that's not really what the Bhagavad Gita is about.
There's an enormous body of commentary and discourse around it—it's far too deep to fully capture in a single post. But at a high level, this is the essence:
It's set on a battlefield within the Mahabharata—one of the greatest epics ever told, and widely considered the longest. The Gita itself is just a small portion of that larger story—18 chapters within a massive narrative.
The moment it captures is this:
A warrior, Arjuna, stands on the battlefield, about to enter a war against his own relatives, teachers, and friends. He breaks down—conflicted, uncertain, questioning whether he should act at all.
What follows is a dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna—appearing as his charioteer.
But Krishna isn't just a human advisor in this context—he is understood as the Divine manifest in human form, guiding Arjuna through that crisis.
That dialogue is about how to act when you're facing real conflict, moral tension, and uncertainty.
At the core, it's about dharma—your duty, or more precisely, right action in alignment with your nature and the reality of the moment.
Arjuna isn't being told to "praise God"—he's being shown how to see clearly and act rightly. The teaching is about:
- how to act without attachment to outcomes
- how to stay steady under pressure
- how to move forward when everything feels morally complex
From an Advaita Vedanta perspective, the "Lord" language isn't just pointing to something external.
It's both:
- the divine within (your true Self, pure consciousness)
- and the divine without (that same reality expressed as the entire universe)
That's where the idea of oneness comes in—not as a belief, but as something to be recognized.
And yes—the tradition also allows for that same reality to be approached through many forms—Krishna, Shiva, Vishnu, Ganesha, as well as the Divine Feminine in forms like Durga, Kali, and Lakshmi—not as separate competing gods, but as different expressions or doorways into the same underlying reality.
So when the text sounds "flowery" or like praise, a lot of it is actually describing that totality—the infinite showing up as both the inner Self and the outer world, in personal and impersonal forms.
And the real shift the Gita is pointing to—especially in moments of crisis, but not only then—is this:
You still act. You still fulfill your role.
But you do it from clarity instead of confusion, aligned with dharma, and without clinging to the result.
So no—it doesn't have to be read as devotional praise, though many do.
The Gita supports multiple readings—Shankara read it through Advaita (non-duality), Ramanuja through Vishishtadvaita (qualified non-duality), Madhva through Dvaita (duality). Same text, different conclusions about the nature of Self and reality.
It can be read, and in my opinion, should be read as a map for how to live—how to decide and act in alignment with one's purpose.

Invocation
Om! O Bhagavadgita, which Bhagavan (Lord) Narayana (Krishna's name) himself used to enlighten Partha (Arjuna) and which was incorporated into the Mahabharata by the ancient sage Vyasa (Vyasadeva or Vedavyasa)!
O you, of eighteen chapters, who showers down the immortal knowledge of advaita! O divine mother! I meditate on you, O Bhagavadgita, that frees me from worldly existence!
I bow before you, Vyasa, with the great intellect and eyes that are as large as the petals of a lotus in bloom! You lit the lamp of knowledge in which the Mahabharata provides the oil!
O you, who made the parijata (a divine flower) bloom and who holds the rod for driving cows! I bow before Krishna the giver of knowledge, who milked the ambrosia of the Gita!
All the Upanishads are like cows, Partha is the calf and the learned drink the milk that is the great ambrosia of the Gita.
I bow before Krishna, the Lord of the Universe! God, the son of Vasudeva (Krishna's father), the destroyer of Kansa (Krishna's evil uncle) and Chanura (a wrestler sent by Kansa), the supreme bliss of Devaki (Krishna's mother)!
Bhishma and Drona were the banks (this is a description of the Kurukshetra war), Jayadratha was the water, the king of Gandhara was the blue lotus, Shalya was the shark (or crocodile), Kripa was the current and Karna was the waves on the banks.
Ashvatthama and Vikarna were the terrible crocodiles, and Duryodhana was the whirlpool. With Keshava (Krishna) as the boatman, the Pandavas indeed crossed the river that was the war.
The words of Parashara's son (Vyasa) are the immortal lotus, its stamens are the different stories therein, bloomed by Hari's (Krishna) discourse, and its powerful fragrance the essence of the Gita.
The good and pure bees of this world drink this, every day and every night. May this produce great good in him who wishes to destroy the taint of kali yuga!
I bow before Madhava (Krishna), provider of supreme bliss! His compassion provides the dumb with speech and enables the crippled to traverse mountains.
Brahma, Varuna, Indra, Rudra and the Maruts praise him through divine hymns and the singers of the Sama Veda sing to him with their hymns and the consecutive parts of the Upanishads.
When established in meditation, the yogis see him, whose limits are unknown to even the gods and the demons, in their minds. I bow before that great God!

Most users don’t understand how the internet works.
Any website you visit can see your IP.
People leave X or Facebook for decentralization, but that just shifts the trust model from one large company to anyone who can spin up a relay on a $5 VPS or a Raspberry Pi.

Clients connect to multiple relays and load a lot of data. Tor-by-default can significantly hurt UX. Using a VPN is much faster—especially for new users who will think the client or protocol is broken when reactions, profile pictures, images, and comments take forever to load.
Lightweight chat apps like BitChat are different, so Tor there is more forgiving.

Welcome to Nostr.
You don’t need to exit Big Tech hardware to get most of the win.
You’ve already done the hardest part — moving off most surveillance apps and reducing identity correlation. That’s where the majority of tracking happens.
Hardware matters… but isolation matters more.
An iPhone running compartmentalized identities is far better than a “sovereign” device with everything mixed together.
For most people, app/protocol layer + compartmentalization = ~80–90% of the gain.
The key is threat modeling.
Who are you defending against?
– Big Tech tracking?
– data brokers?
– casual adversaries?
– state-level actors?
– principle-based sovereignty?
The answer changes everything.
Some privacy circles assume everyone should operate at the most extreme level. But not everyone is Edward Snowden, or Snowden on the lam with government secrets. Know your threat model and act accordingly.
You may not need the same level of privacy everywhere.
Business, banking, and daily logistics often benefit from convenience and compatibility — while private communications and research may warrant stronger isolation.
That’s where compartmentalization beats absolutism.
Proton is a solid step. I like it.
Some people will criticize it — that’s normal.
Also, realistically, Proton still doesn’t fully replace Google for many business workflows yet.
That’s okay. Mix and isolate rather than forcing purity.
If you want to go further, the practical path right now is:
GrapheneOS on Pixel (with movement toward Motorola hardware)
Linux laptops (Framework, System76)
Separate devices by identity instead of chasing one perfect device
I personally use Qubes OS.
It’s not for the faint of heart — even seasoned Linux users face a steep learning curve.
But it lets you run truly isolated environments on a single machine.
Think of it like multiple devices living inside one device, where activities, identities, and networks are compartmentalized by design.
GrapheneOS is outstanding, but there are trade-offs.
Some banking apps and services increasingly rely on Google Play integrity / verification, which can limit compatibility.
That’s another reason isolation by role often works better than one “perfect” device.
It can also be a pain to migrate back if you later decide to move to an iPhone or more mainstream Android setup.
For example, stripping EXIF/location metadata from photos improves privacy.
But you lose timeline and map context.
If you later import those photos into something like Google Photos, they may appear out of order, without locations, and harder to organize.
That’s the trade-off — stronger privacy often means giving up convenience and long-term data richness.
Linux phones, in my view, are the future of mobile sovereignty.
Full OS control, open stacks, and hardware-level transparency are where things are heading.
That said, they’re still maturing today.
I wouldn’t recommend daily driving one yet unless you’re comfortable with rough edges and limitations.
There are also minimalist or “dumb phone” paths like the Punkt and others.
Another high-impact step that often matters more than hardware:
Use a password manager with unique credentials.
Use email aliases (SimpleLogin or similar).
Use virtual cards (Privacy.com or similar).
I like Proton’s password manager, but the key idea is separation.
Generate unique logins, unique email addresses, and unique payment cards.
If one service gets breached, it doesn’t expose your primary inbox or your real card details.
You’re limiting blast radius — which is core OPSEC.
This quickly becomes a rabbit hole you can go as deep as you want… the real question is how far you need to go at this moment in time and in which areas of your life.
You’ll also hear very extreme advice:
self-host everything
air-gap networks
RF shielding paint
no Wi-Fi
full isolation from modern infrastructure
You can do those things. But most people don’t need to.
Do you have a family using Wi-Fi?
Do you need banking apps?
Do you run a business?
Those are real-world trade-offs.
Mitigation often beats elimination.
Also worth remembering:
More privacy = less convenience
No tool will save bad OPSEC
Behavior and compartmentalization matter more than software choices
You can run the most privacy-focused stack and open hardware… but poor OPSEC still defeats it.
Oversharing, identity mixing, and sloppy data hygiene will undo everything.
In practice, this often looks like isolating roles across devices.
For most people, the biggest upgrade isn’t switching hardware — it’s isolating roles:
front-facing device
private device
burner / travel device
Practicing good OPSEC, isolation, and compartmentalization matter more than perfect tools.

Cashu certainly has its place—but it's custodial by design.

2026-04-01 12:51:21 UTC

Cash is still king for OPSEC.
Most crypto isn't private.
Bitcoin is an open ledger.
Lightning is a leaky abstraction—channels are visible on-chain, nodes leak network metadata, and small adversarial node sets increase deanonymization risk.
CBDCs are surveillance by design.
Encryption is powerful.
Decentralization helps.
Privacy tech matters.
But digital is still digital.
It runs on devices.
It travels across networks.
If it left your hands, it's out there.
Maybe unreadable now.
Not forever.
You used to have OPSEC by default.
Wiretapping required a warrant.
Conversations didn't have logs.
Your face wasn't in a database.
Nobody was tracking your location 24/7.
You didn't opt into surveillance—it was built around you.

That’s right, but I have a use for it. FreshTomato’s solid on older Broadcom gear. I prefer modern hardware with full control. Don’t want my signal reaching the road, so my Beryl AX handles that at home and for travel.

I’ve talked in depth about privacy and security for years—here, with clients and organizations, elsewhere online, and on my website.
But sometimes it helps to just watch a demonstration of this basic understanding.
Your WiFi Can See You. Here's How.
https://file.nostrmedia.com/p/4eb88310d6b4ed95c6d66a395b3d3cf559b85faec8f7691dafd405a92e055d6d/3718e6270dc8dd0dbb29c5e2b82038f1203274e6bc4d02830be11bcd4cafdc37.mp4

https://youtu.be/0OdR8rRMz3I?si=O0ihGilLhDLrwVz5
Wi-Fi doesn’t just connect devices.
It fills a space with radio.
Those signals bounce off walls, furniture… and you.
That means your network isn’t only carrying data.
It’s sensing the space around you.
Movement changes the signal.
Presence changes the signal.
Your body changes the signal.
That data is analyzed to detect motion, track occupancy, and understand the space.
No camera required.
This isn’t theoretical.
Many already-deployed Xfinity gateways are compatible with “WiFi Motion”—an opt-in feature that uses existing devices to detect activity in a home.
And that’s the shallow end.
Wi-Fi sensing is not just motion detection.
The same signals can detect presence, count people, infer location, reconstruct body pose, and model the space itself.
RF systems already track objects.
RFID tags track movement.
Wi-Fi reflections track presence.
Radio itself becomes situational awareness.
So the real question isn’t “am I being recorded?”
It’s: what signals already surround me?
Because the environment doesn’t need eyes.
It already has radio.
That doesn’t mean “never use Wi-Fi.”
It means understand the trade-offs.
Wired when possible.
Disable radios when not needed.
Reduce what’s always broadcasting.
And remember your threat model.
If convenience wins—family, guests, smart devices—
that’s a conscious choice, not invisibility.
Total invisibility is a lie.
Privacy is about understanding the layers.
Good OPSEC is about understanding your environment.
Sometimes the thing mapping a space…
is the signal filling it.

This is concerning.
The FCC moved to deny authorization for new foreign-made consumer router models. That means upcoming models can’t legally be imported or sold in the U.S.
It also issued only a temporary waiver allowing firmware/security updates for already-approved devices through March 2027. That creates a potential update cliff unless extended.
Hardware trust isn’t a one-direction problem. Snowden documents described NSA “interdiction”—intercepting networking gear in transit, implanting surveillance tooling, then resealing and shipping it onward. Even Cisco publicly complained after those revelations.
Snowden’s operational takeaway was basically:
• minimize trust in vendor firmware
• prefer open-source firmware where possible
• segment your network
• assume routers are hostile infrastructure
• disable remote management
• encrypt above the router
There’s another issue: many privacy-friendly routers are foreign-made. Devices commonly used for OpenWrt and auditability—like GL.iNet_ models (Beryl, Slate, Flint)—are manufactured overseas.
"American” brands don’t necessarily solve this; companies like Linksys are foreign-owned and build hardware abroad.
Routers are inherently high-risk supply-chain devices—regardless of origin.
This policy doesn’t change that reality.
It just shifts which supply chain you’re being asked to trust.
