Glad my OVH VPS was in Gravelines, not Strasbourg.

Absolutely incredible negligence.

Also, I feel like cooking ground lamb unseasoned, and just eating it with cheese is some sort of culinary malpractice, but Beecher's cheese is pretty much a seasoning of its own.

Came up with a very simple Keto meal that was surprisingly delicious:

1 Lb ground lamb, cooked in 1Tbsp boar oil. Don't drain the fat! Serve over a bowl of fresh spinach with 2oz of Beecher's Flagship cheese grated on top.

Stir and eat with a fork.

Why does stuff like this make me lose weight?

Fun fact: The camera is still unsecured at the same IP I found it at.

Found an unsecured camera in Russia early last year. Witnessed some shady business.

People often ask me questions about Bitcoin, and I'm tired of answered the same questions repeatedly, so here are the answers.

Q: When should I invest in Bitcoin?
A: Never.

Q: What altcoins are good investments?
A: None of them.

Q: Have you made money trading crypto?
A: Yes, thousands in profits.

Q: Do you recommend crypto investing, and why?
A: No, it's an endless pump & dump scheme with few winners.

Finished some major backhaul on my accounts.

I deleted 121,000 emails from my Gmail accounts this week. Finally decided to part with those digital receipts from 2004.

Set my Google account and all my passwords to transfer to my wife if I die. I didn't know I could do that!

I deleted all the dumb e-mail rules I made for sorting mailing lists and unsubscribed from like 300+ mailing lists.

For the first time in a decade, I had no unread e-mails. I woke up with only 2 new emails this morning!

I'm certain you could wreak havoc on plenty of websites using this tool. It takes a bit of processing power, but you can take two JPEG images, and brute-force them into having the same MD5 checksum.
