DMT and strange synchronicities

I feel like DMT is calling me again

During the COVID lockdown about 5 years ago, I managed to ‘get hold of some’ and had a few relatively small experiences with it. Even those were so unbelievably profound that I completely lost my nerve. I ended up flushing everything I had and getting rid of all my lab gear. I basically decided that whatever door I’d opened, I wasn’t ready to go any further through it at that time.

Since then I had barely thought about doing it again. But recently something strange has started happening. I keep noticing what I can only describe as synchronicities, NOT coincidences. Things appearing at exactly the right moment, strange references and bizzare connections that seem to keep pointing me back towards DMT. Individually, I can explain every one of them away. Taken together, though, its starting to feel weird.

Obviously there’s a rational explanation. Maybe DMT has come back into my thoughts for whatever reason, so I’m subconsciously noticing anything connected to it. Confirmation bias, pattern recognition, frequency illusion, whatever you want to call it. I understand all of that. But there’s still this persistent feeling that something is trying to get my attention. It’s extremely difficult to explain without sounding completely fucking crazy lol.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this after staying away from DMT for years?

Thanks for reading

PS A perfect example. I came home from work and accidentally knocked my TV remote onto the floor. YouTube came on, and the first video staring at me was a Vice video with Hamilton Morris called “Does the human brain actually produce DMT or is it a myth?”

Is this is NOT a ghost, what it is?!!

Hi everyone.

I posted this on another subreddit, but I’ve decided to post it here because I’m looking for different interpretations or explanations of what it might be, particularly from a logical perspective, because I’m a skeptic.

Assuming it’s not a ghost, what other logical explanations can you think of?

Thanks for reading

Something strange at a ‘haunted’ hospital in the Czech Republic

Hello everyone

A friend of ours sent us this screenshot yesterday from a security camera at a hospital he works nights at in Prague, which has a long history of reported hauntings. If you look at the end of the corridor, there’s something there. My girlfriend is convinced it’s a ghost, but I’m a big skeptic!! Anyway, I decided to post it here and see what other people make of it.

EDIT: UPDATE

The person who originally sent me the pictures messaged me with some more information about the camera. Apparently it isn’t recording continuously. It’s a motion-activated IR security camera because that whole block has been empty for years. The first picture was taken automatically after the camera registered a motion event. After I posted the picture on another subred, someone asked whether the shape might just be something that’s always sitting at the end of the corridor. So I asked him about it and he remotely activated the camera and took another picture. That’s the second picture. Whatever appears in the first image isn’t visible in the second one. Obviously none of this proves what caused the camera to activate in the first place or what the shape actually is. I just thought I’d add the extra information to make it clear what actually happened.

EDIT: UPDATE 2

Something strange caught on a security camera at a ‘haunted’ hospital in the Czech Republic

A friend of ours sent us this screenshot earlier today from a security camera at a hospital he works nights at in Prague, which has a long history of reported hauntings. If you look at the end of the corridor, there’s something there. My girlfriend is convinced it’s a ghost, but I’m a big sceptic!! Anyway, I decided to post it here and see what other people make of it. What do you think it is?

EDIT: There is an UPDATE to this post

Why is a 24-word seed phrase even necessary if a 7-word Diceware passphrase would take millions of years to crack?

I am about to create my new seed for my Trezor (either using the Trezor itself or dice I haven’t decided) after the CC fiasco and I have been thinking about this for several days now.

Imagine there was no seed phrase at all. Instead, you generated seven completely random words yourself using physical dice and a 7776 word Diceware list, and those seven words were your entire secret.

That gives roughly 90 bits of entropy, or around 1.2 × 10²⁷ possible combinations. Even assuming an attacker could test one trillion guesses every second, it would take roughly 20 million years on average to find the correct combination.

So why do we need a 24-word BIP39 seed containing 256 bits of entropy?
Wouldn’t ~90 bits of genuinely random, independently generated entropy already make brute forcing effectively impossible?

I’m not suggesting anyone actually replace their BIP39 seed with seven words just to be clear! I’m asking the more fundamental question of why we need 256 bits of entropy when seven properly dice-generated words already seem to provide vastly more brute force resistance than we could realistically need.

How easy is it to make a serious mistake when generate your own 24-word BIP39 seed, even if follow proper instructions?

Recent events have made me reluctant to rely entirely on hardware-wallet entropy, so I’m going to use five precision casino dice instead.

For those who have done it, what are the most common ways people get it wrong and what advice do you have for someone doing it for the first time?!

EDIT: Sorry for the typos I wasn’t wearing my glasses!!

Trezor Safe 7: 20-word SLIP39 generated by Trezor vs 24-word BIP39 generated with dice?

Greetings

Because of the CC disaster, I’ve just bought a Bitcoin-only Trezor Safe 7 and I’m trying to decide how to generate my backup.

My original plan was to generate my own 24-word BIP39 seed using physical dice, so I wouldn’t have to trust the hardware wallet’s RNG, then import it into my Trezor. However, I’m now wondering whether I’m just introducing unnecessary complexity and more opportunities for human error.

The alternative is simply letting the Safe 7 generate its standard 20-word SLIP39 backup and stamping the words onto numbered stainless-steel washers. I’ll use a very strong passphrase either way and keep it physically separate from the seed backup.

From a security perspective, which approach would you choose and why: Trezor-generated 20-word SLIP39, or properly dice-generated 24-word BIP39?

Thanks in advance for your advice
