    That QAnon book is really great, I read it a few months ago. The book gives more variety to how QAnon thought destroys families in how the backgrounds are different and not all families have a happy ending where the QAnon-infected family member suddenly becomes a totally normal and grounded person. It also gives good insight on how cults like QAnon attract people who have gotten themselves into a personal crisis and who may get rattled by other significant events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

    I just read ‘‘The Politics of Bitcoin: Software as Right-Wing Extremism’’ by David Golumbia. The book analyzes really well the ideological roots and assumptions that are baked in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. It also debunks many of the arguments crypto-enthusiasts make. Even though I have invested in various cryptocurrencies, I find the crypto community icky because of its general right-wing libertarian sentiment. I don’t view crypto as money, more like gambling with a volatile asset.

    What else? Got a new SSD for my laptop server and restored my backups into it. A little bit of tinkering and now I am again syncing my files with Nextcloud.

    Kävin eilen Lidlissä ja hain reippaasti juotavaa, eli vappuaattoon on varustauduttu. Tällä kertaa en tee sitä virhettä, että juon energiajuomia alkoholin lisäksi, siitä ei hyvää seuraa. Keli näyttää olevan ainakin aurinkoinen. Näen paljolti opiskeluaikaisia kavereita ja tuttuja. Hyvää vappua kaikille!
