So hard to pick… But I love those bushy dark maples with the leaves that are so blue they’re almost black in certain light. I call them goth maples.

Found a picture:

How? Like someone would have to have access to the device and also know how you hid the crypto and then presumably despite having the former decides to only take the latter. Unless I’m misunderstanding. Like crypto is cool, but you know what’s a cooler, a phone that also has crypto in it.

I think they mean you can see if you’ve got malware or something. Basically if you download something you shouldn’t, I think their theory is it’ll go for the low hanging fruit of a crypto wallet.

Yeah, this was my thought process. Security comes in layers and a huge amount of malicious software will scan for and send away unencrypted crypto sitting on a device. Setting up a small honeypot and monitoring for transactions gives me slight peace of mind. I just wanted to share my shower thought.

In this scenario I’d assume you don’t hide it. Have some in an app you have no password for.

Basically using a cryptowallet as a canary. Cool idea

Showerthoughts

!showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Create post

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
