TEEs worked for the last decade. The next decade needs Encrypted Execution Environments (E3s). 🚨 New research shows how Intel SGX & AMD SEV-SNP can be broken with just <$50 hardware. Replay, tamper, bypass attestation: all possible because TEEs decrypt data in memory.

On Thursday at 13:37 UTC+2 timdaub.eth lobbed a single line into the Kiwi News Telegram: “Retiring this chat…”. Write access vanished. Hundreds of crypto-addled devotees pounded “send,” watching bubbles evaporate in read-only purgatory. In that instant, marriages, trading tips, and decade-old memes froze in amber while group members screamed silently behind screens. For years that same thread had been their improbable monastery. Price-alerts sat next to wedding RSVPs; someone once crowdsourced a honeymoon entirely in Dogecoin. The absurd alchemy of late-night shitposting and dead-serious research made the channel sacred—an unregulated derivatives market of human emotion, all gift-wrapped in Telegram stickers.

Ethereum's worst enemy is institutional adoption. Honestly, think about it guys, the more institutions get involved, the more influence they wanna have on future hard fork decisions (and thus will make a core dev's job even more complicated), compliance as a "feature" instead of a _clear_ bug (just check the discussions around FOCIL), and having the constant urge to turn Ethereum into a business (believe me, institutions have this urge) instead of the biggest economic playground of our lives. Look, you can go all mainstream, but we should actually celebrate it when Ethereum isn't chosen by tradfi clowns. That means we're doing something right. I won't let Ethereum be tamed, neutered, or turned into just another corporate playground. Never.

This morning I've been reviewing our last months' SEAL 911 tickets. Guys, it's clear that soon (probably sooner than you think) a large portion of our ecosystem will be running on compromised devices. I mean, man, infostealers are probably the _biggest_ ecosystem problem right now. However, and that's what I want to address here, is that OS design choices like weak data compartmentalisation & permissive default trust models are the _major enablers_, especially on macOS and Windows. Please remember: these OSes weren't built with the strict sandboxing, strong application isolation, or zero-trust principles needed to defend against these today's threats! I understand that shifting most of the space to something like QubesOS isn't realistic, but we must start prioritising security-first OS choices in our ecosystem, not just UX. Honestly, fancy features won't stop your device from being compromised.

The Unwritten Rules of Farcaster: Curate > Tolerate Marie Kondo taught us to hold up every object and ask, “Does this spark joy?” Her Japanese art of decluttering changed the way millions of people look at objects, and the Farcaster team has given us all the tools we need to do the same for your timeline. If your feed feels chaotic, boring, or just plain annoying, maybe it’s time to KonMari your content. Mute the noise. Unfollow drama. Curate joy and build a space you actually want to scroll. Your attention is valuable, and you deserve a great feed, but it’s going to take some intentional work. ━━━━━✁┈┈┈┈┈┈ Commit to tidying up your feed and take action on your main feed. Does this content feel good? Informative? Inspiring? Or is it draining, noisy, or irrelevant? The team has given us many tools to tidy up your timeline. The first and easiest way is to change your feed from “Home” ( aka letting the algorithm decide) to “Following,” letting you see a reverse chronological feed of everyone you follow. The “show less” button on the Home feed is useless. I’ve tried to wrangle it this way, and it does nothing. I’ve done experiments from using it exclusively to unfollowing everyone (yes, I followed 0 people for two months to see what the home feed would deem worthy), and I’ve hated every moment. If your following feed isn’t sparking joy, why are you following those people? You don’t owe anyone your attention. You can choose what you see. If you aren’t quite ready to go nuclear and change your entire feed, you can take a much more nuanced approach. If it doesn’t spark joy, mute It. ━━━━━✁┈┈┈┈┈┈ Go step by step and MUTE: topics/channels, people, mini apps/frames. Maybe you are behind on the latest trending TV show. Maybe you are on a diet and don’t want temptation in your feed. Your mutes are private and are an extremely powerful feature. I get tired of mini apps/frames quickly. If I’ve installed it and turned on notifications, I don’t need that digital clutter and mute them liberally. The algorithm has recently been in love with some casters, and I don’t enjoy their content. I liberally mute channels, keywords, and even people whose content doesn’t spark joy. It’s my feed. It’s my attention. I decide who gets it. Within the Mute menu, you can choose just how far to go and make adjustments as needed. You can also easily undo any of this if you’ve gone too restrictive. It also works with tokens! ━━━━━✁┈┈┈┈┈┈ You are responsible for curating your own joy. If you don’t like how Farcaster looks today, you need to take action. You deserve feed that sparks joy. Curate your feed like you would a gallery, a garden, or your favorite cozy reading corner. Fill it with posts that make you laugh, think, and feel good. Mute with intention. Mute without guilt. Farcaster is changing, and it will continue to evolve and change. You have to use the tools the team gave us to create the vibe you want to see. If your feed doesn’t feel different from other socials, if it doesn’t feel like a sanctuary, you need to do some tidying up. You have more control than you think. Use it.

I agree. And I feel like the recent excessive quote-casting of women's pictures (regardless of how they're dressed) isn't funny. It's intentionally hostile. When I first joined Farcaster, I used my own face as my pfp. I was immediately harassed about it. I had someone publicly tell me my pfp indicated that I have a "high body count." It was really humiliating. Then there was that narrative about how women should “prove they’re real.” That time period emboldened a lot more harassment. I had people say I shouldn't use my face as my pfp, unless I proved to them that it was really me. Simultaneously, people said women SHOULD use their faces for their pfp, as proof that they exist, and aren’t scammers. Well, which one is it?! No matter what women do, they will always be considered “traps,” because they are women. I stopped using pictures of myself after that. And I will never again publicly share non-blurred pics. I absolutely HATE that I got bullied into that decision by guys who were pissed that not every woman out there wants to fuck them. (Sorry to be so blunt, but I think we all know that’s exactly what this is about.) Farcaster is the one remaining place on the internet where I can have countless intellectual conversations about sci-fi, art, computing, literature. But in the back of my mind is always this feeling of, “what if they find out how I look?” If I were to post pictures of myself, I know without a doubt, that all my other posts would be taken less seriously. Do men understand how much this feeling sucks? I ask this as a sincere question, not an accusation. I wonder if there is a comparable feeling for men? If not, here’s what it feels like (at least to me): It feels like there is a part of you that has always been, and will always be, shameful. And you must hide that part of you, if you want to be respected. And, when you ARE respected, that’s only because they don’t know how you look. It feels like your words are only taken seriously when they’re detached from your physical being. And worst of all, it feels like people you’ve become friends with, may not want to be your friend anymore if they find out you’re a “thirst trap.” I have a shit ton of respect for women sharing pics of themselves. And these past few days, I have lost a lot of respect for the people I've seen interacting with those pictures in a misogynist way
