something very @SuricrasiaOnline : the "hash function crisis", where some academic comes out of nowhere breaking all commonly-used hash functions at once, even being able to find collisions *by hand* for one of them

this actually happened in 2005, where Wang broke MD2, MD4, MD5, RIPEMD, HAVAL, SHA-0, and a theoretical attack (which is now becoming practical) against SHA-1

Wang's paper was initially rejected for being completely incomprehensible, but then attended the related conference for that anyway, and gave a 10 minute unplanned talk where she demonstrated the attacks (including the by-hand collision finding for MD2)

what a strange, inverted world.

it used to be we bought expensive, underpowered hardware to be able to use this revolutionary thing called the macOS.

now, we get affordable, insanely world-leading hardware... and the worst part is the bullshit toy spyware known as the macOS. i donate money every month to a project that will get some crapware free software OS running on it simply because even that garbage will be better than what comes on it.

A scammer is actively going through old CVE for exploitable conditions in old Bitcoin node software.

You should update your node software.
