Here's my take What we fail to understand as indians is that these indian crypto exchanges are just like any other bank. If we consider them as crypto or as most users understand that crypto is freedom, decentralised or privacy, then we are the biggest fool in this argument. Any Indian crypto exchange is a bank or worst it's like a bank but without any assurances or insurance. If your bank account gets hacked or the bank becomes insolvent without your causing it, then RBI steps in and Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) will step in and reimburse the users affected. Unlike in Wazirx, Bitbns, Vauld case, I want you to read carefully and try to understand the point I'm making. As we study crypto is freedom, decentralised and privacy focused (Web3.0) but we created our accounts on these centralised exchanges (Web2.0) with our KYC documents. If a exchange is hacked then we should forget about that money as that money was never yours. When you deposit your...

This post is going to be as blunt as possible and let me take out all my anger, sorrow emotions all together. On July 18 2024 wazirx exchange experienced a cyber hack in their cold wallets. I noticed it happened live while I was with my father for his regular checkup. I was of the opinion that it must be a hoax or might be little amount as they must have had all their funds in cold wallets and wallets don't get hacked as it is backed by blockchain and we hold the private key. So I went on with my day and when I return back that evening it was raining tweets all over and it was catastrophic. Ideally I should have withdrawn the money as it was unfolding at 11 o clock but the wazirx fan in me was too strong to withdraw. I didn't withdraw when the government announced ban on crypto in 2018. I didn't withdraw when FTX fraud happened, lol I brought some during the downturn hoping to get some return but lost!  I didn't withdraw when Terra LUNA happened, I also brought some in ...

Today we will learn how to install and use shortwave app on your computer. P.S it requires an active internet connection to stream. What's shortwave? Shortwave is an open source gnome based application, specifically meant to stream radio. This app is only available for Linux users. You can use vlc, rhythm box but you won't have fun using them because they are all in one apps like for playing music and movies and this one just does one thing that is to stream radio. But bruh why stream radio instead of Spotify? Why? Because I like it that way, I don't like the machines, algorithms determine my musical tastes or manipulate me into liking anything. Also it's free and doesn't require an account to just listen to music unlike Spotify. Call me old school but you just can't beat radio as you can get information and listen to music for free, entertainment. You can also stream music through your Chromecast or any casting device as it has casting feature built-in the app...

Today we will learn how to install and use uniget UI software. It is an open source software which is available at GitHub. Open source meaning you can checkout the code and find out if there's anything suspicious about the software. Or you can report the bugs to the developer by raising an issue. So what's uniget UI? How do I explain this to a non-techie person? You know there is something called as terminal in windows which is almost the same as Linux. You can use it to install/remove apps with just one command, but for a normal user it's a bummer so that's why this app exists. It is a all in one place to download your software/apps without using your web browser. Because when you use Google chrome to search for let's say notepad++ The search results might have sponsored links at the top from different developers of the same competition or malware software. I know you are not that gullible to download malware from the internet but just to be safe than to be sorry t...

Today we will learn how to enable usb tethering from your Android device to macbook.  In this case I'm using a macbook pro mid 2010 model. It is running mac os 10.10 Yosemite.  There isn't any out of the box Android usb support for Mac os running Yosemite, although iphone might work but I've not tried as I don't have an iPhone. The wifi on this device is busted and the usb wifi gives crappy internet speed for larger downloads. So my best bet is to use internet via USB tethering.  Upon research I came to know about a software called ho rndis. Don't download it's latest version as it won't support Yosemite. Download it's version from 2013. I'll leave a link which worked for me here 1) Download https://github.com/jwise/HoRNDIS/releases/download/rel2/HoRNDIS-rel2.pkg 2) Once downloaded open the package it will tell mac os doesn't allow untrusted apps. It's okay. 3) Go to mac os system preferences ---> security & privacy ---> general ---...

Hello there, Today we will learn how to get the Matrix code as a screensaver in linux. If you have watched the Matrix movie or like the screen text of the Matrix you can now enjoy it as screensaver. There are two methods to install this screensaver. One is a GUI and another terminal based. Let's start with gui first as many people freakout for terminal method. GUI METHOD 1) If you are already on Ubuntu based distribution like linux mint or mx linux. Then you need to open it's software center like the one in Android called play store.  What's a linux distribution? Linux is broadly categorised into flavours of different types of window managers.
