Hey #monero dumbfucks, I'm on the hunt for the ultimate book about your shitcoin, give me your top recommendation, and I'll read it.
Rest assured, you'll have zero chance of converting me into Monero.
Reading 'The Communist Manifesto' didn't make me a communist, and reading 'Hijacking Bitcoin' didn't turn me into a BCH shitcoiner. But I still read them.

Any step you take towards greater #privacy is a step in the right direction. However, adding privacy measures on top of stock #android are largely ineffective. Stock Android is pure spyware, and all Google services and apps are spying tools.
It's also not a great idea to download #nostr or #bitcoin apps from the Aurora Store. If the apps are #opensource code, use 'Obtanium' instead, this allows you to download .APKs directly from their GitHub source.
You can still get services like Google Maps and fingerprint unlock working fine, I'm not sure why you'd think they wouldn't work. Uh, #grapheneOS is just a hardened version of Android that's stripped out all the Google shit, but you can still install them back.

This is my current #grapheneOS setup.
I have three distinct profiles on my phone, each serving a specific purpose.
𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲: This is my daily driver, free and open-source apps only. It has everything I need for my daily needs. For privacy reasons, I've excluded #bitcoin and #nostr related applications from this profile to maintain a low-profile and avoid leaking my online identity if someone were to snatch the phone out of my hands.
𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲: This secondary profile is designed as a decoy. I've installed a bunch of normie apps to make it more realistic, and some closed-source ones that I occasionally need. I rarely use this profile. I only switch to it when absolutely necessary, if you know what I mean.
𝗖𝘆𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗽𝘂𝗻𝗸 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲: This is where my true online identity lies, and where all the bitcoin and nostr apps reside. TOR, E2E chats, secret notes, and files are all here. I only access this profile when I'm alone and confident it's safe to do so.
All profiles have different passwords, obviously. Fingerprint disabled. And I've customized the color scheme of the menus for each one of them, so I can easily tell which profile I'm on.
While inside the Decoy Profile, you cannot see the installed apps from the other two profiles, but you can see that there are indeed two additional profiles on the device. I've taken extra steps to obscure this information by changing the profile picture on all three profiles to solid dark color that blends with the UI, and removed the profile names by using a invisible character, making them appear identical (i know it's not 100% fool proof but it's the best we can do).
All profiles have a pure black wallpaper, and the home screen has no icons, folders or widgets (except on the Decoy Profile). To access an app, I simply scroll up and open it from the default drawer, which displays all installed apps on that profile. This approach saves battery life and adds a slight bit of privacy.
Each profile has its own VPN running continuously, using different IP addresses, with killswitch turned on. All my free and open-source (#foss) apps are installed via Obtainium (aka downloads straight from the source). The closed-source 'normie' apps used in the Decoy Profile are from the Aurora Store (aka downloads from Play Store without needing an account).
Every app installed has most of its permissions stripped away, leaving only the absolute minimum required. Storage and contact scopes are always used.
Microphone, camera, NFC, bluetooth and location services, always turned off, unless absolutely needed for a brief moment.
Finally, I have disabled auto-updates on all apps and the operating system itself (by disabling 'System Updater' app). I want to be in control of my device, I choose when to update. I can't risk crowdstrike-like updates, so I wait a few days before updating.

I think you've got a solid setup going on, huge props for that. Unfortunately, Qubes OS isn't for me. It wasn't designed to take advantage of graphics cards.
I also rather not carry around extra USB flash drives, which are just more devices to worry about securing and managing.
I prefer to store all my files locally on my phone and laptop's internal storage, with the disks encrypted. My files are synced across both devices using Syncthing for convenience. If I ever need to wipe my #grapheneOS quickly, I still have the files on the laptop, and vice versa, including full backups of their settings and configurations. For critical data, I use VeraCrypt, there are Android apps that allow me to access them as well.

It depends whether you're syncing a large number of files and making numerous changes on a regular basis. There's an option in the settings that allows it to only sync when your phone is charging, which may help resolve your battery issue.

Flash drives and SSDs are quite affordable nowadays yeah, but internal storage for devices remains costly.
For instance, the Pixel 8 starts with 128 GB internal storage, if you want the 512 GB model, you'll have to pay almost twice as much. You can't add a microSD card to it, so you're essentially stuck with what you purchase initially. This issue is common in most premium laptops and tablets aswell.
About Handbrake, you should be using the GPU for encoding (if you have an NVIDIA card, choose the codec ending with 'NVEnc'), it will significantly increase the speed.
I'd rather not spend $200 right now, compress the files instead, and get more sats with that money.

If you're wondering how I sync my files between my #grapheneOS phone and my #linux desktop without using cloud services, the answer is by using an #opensource software called 'Syncthing'. It synchronizes the files locally, meaning that they are transferred directly from one device to another over a local network, automatically and instantly.

UK authorities have started arresting citizens over their social media posts.
All of you that have a real name and photo associated with your posts, good luck. It might be wise to educate yourself on #privacy matters and practice good operational security (#opsec). However, I'm afraid it may already be too late for most of you.
The most insidious form of censorship is not when big tech shadowbans your posts or deletes accounts, but rather when you are barred from posting altogether out of fear of arrest. #Nostr can't fix that.
Fortunately, those of us who value privacy, often referred to as "privacy paranoids", have been preparing for this eventuality for quite some time.

The AVIF format might be the future, however, it currently holds only 0.2% of the market share, and lacks compatibility with most image viewer software. I recommend WEBP instead.

Convert all your photos and images to the efficient WEBP format, using 95% lossy compression setting. This will significantly reduce file size while maintaining excellent visual quality.
In most cases, you won't notice any difference in image quality (unless zooming in a lot), and file sizes will be reduced by over 90%~.
For #linux users, using 'YOGA Image Optimizer' flatpak makes this process easy.

It depends on your relays and the content you don't want to miss out. Some relays have filters and censors. Some specialize in specific niche topics that not all users subscribe to. Personally, I prefer to use a a lot of relays rather than risk missing some post or vice versa. In the past, I've used fewer relays, haven't noticed any difference in speeds, #nostr has always been kinda slow. Some clients feel faster, smoother, and less buggy than others tho.

Hmmm. Now that you bring that up, I've noticed my #nostr client consumes an enormous amount of mobile data. It's insane. I've even disabled image and profile picture loading but no effect. What exactly is consuming all that data if nostr notes and 'accounts' are just text/jsons? #asknostr

2024-08-07 15:00:00

Uhm, it seems that most #nostr users use an average of 5 relays. Why aren't more people opting for 30+ relays like me? The only way to ensure that you don't miss a single post from any user, or vice versa, is to have a significant number of relays, especially the top ones. #asknostr

Why two of each? Well, having a backup in case something happens to the 'main' one is necessary. This is the minimum I can comfortably manage. Quality over quantity is really what matters to me. I'm happy with this approach. #minimalism

I've been on a mission to ditch all cables from my computer setup and go wireless wherever possible. However, what I thought would be a liberating pursuit of #minimalism has turned into a problem.
No device seems to last a full day on battery. I was already annoyed at having to keep my phone, tablet, laptop, and standing fan charged throughout the day. But since adding my mouse, keyboard, and headphones to the mix (which seem to drain their batteries at an alarming rate), I've found myself trapped in a never-ending loop of constantly getting up to plug stuff back in.

🔸𝟭. Never use the default Wi-Fi password, even if it appears to be random. Always change it. A Wi-Fi password should be at least 16 characters long. Governments and NSA recommend 20 characters as a minimum. It can be up to 63 characters long.
🔸𝟮. Change the username and password used to access the router gateway (admin panel) aswell. Anything but the default should be OK.
🔸𝟯. If you are using a default Wi-Fi network name (SSID) change it. When choosing network names, do not pick a name that makes it obvious that the network belongs to you. Some routers have an option to hide the SSID, when enabled, it requires you type in the name of the network when connecting, rather than picking the network from a list of those detected nearby, this can make the network a bit more secure.
🔸𝟰. Wi-Fi encryption should be WPA3 if your router supports it. WPA2 with AES is perfectly secure as long the Wi-Fi password is long. WEP and WPA1 are outdated and insecure.
🔸𝟱. Turn off WPS, UPnP and IPv6.
🔸𝟲. Use a password protected Guest Network whenever possible, not just for guests but for IoT devices too. Guest networks are usually isolated from the main network.
🔸𝟳. Make sure there is no port forwarding going on.

Unlike Twitter (and any other mainstream garbage platforms that dumbfucks use), Nostr does not restrict access for users who use VPNs, TOR, or Adblockers.

You are then forced to become an investor (also known as a gambler), but guess what, they slap insane capital gains tax on that shit aswell.

Avoid all #bitcoin services that reward users with sats just for shopping or walking. Think about how they're making money off you — by selling your data and invading your privacy. Don't be dumbfuck.

We're 21 days away from the #bitcoin halving, yet dumbfucks are putting their money into Reddit shares instead. Complete circus of absurdity. And get this — it's only been a week since the IPO, and the CEO and COO already dumped their shares.

I feel sorry for all the #monero maxis dumbfucks. Their #XMR shitcoin is losing in every metric imaginable. It has the exact same fiat price it had 7 years ago, and it continues to drop marketcap rankings, is now at number 54 among all shitcoins, surpassed even by memecoins that were launched only three months ago. Have fun staying poor.

🔸 Preaches about #privacy while showing his face on videos.
🔸 Openly shares his real name on his social media.
🔸 Uses bigtech like: Twitter, Google, Patreon, Apple.
🔸 Uses MacOS over #linux.
🔸 Uses iOS over #grapheneOS.
🔸 Uses Telegram and Signal (real phone number attached).
🔸 Goes on podcasts to share details about his life.
🔸 Openly supports LGBTQ / makes his political beliefs known.
In conclusion, they claim to care about privacy, but they're practically doxxing themselves left and right.

8 billion dumbfucks, normies, traders and "investors" — competing against highly intelligent #bitcoin maximalists who went all-in into #btc years ago and will not sell under any circumstances, regardless of fiat price.

You know we are still early when there are still dumbfucks selling their #bitcoin for worthless fiat just 30 days before the halving.

Your “Taxes” are not going to benefit you or your community in any way. Given this, why don't you take every opportunity to avoid paying them?

2024-03-17 01:31:38

#bitcoin is for tax dodgers, not statists. While it is not possible to dodge every single tax, it is important to always strive for this goal.

2024-03-17 01:07:10

Sell your #bitcoin.
Normies, traders, investors — what are you waiting for to "cash out"?
Do it now!
Dump those sats back for fiat monopoly money! Remember to pay your capital gains tax like a good boy you are.
For real, I beg you, make the fiat value of bitcoin crash back to $20K or lower, so i can take more sats from dumbfucks like you who don't understand bitcoin.
The cheaper it gets, the more I'll snatch up.
Once your sats are in my wallet, they will be off the market, forever.
With enough time, we bitcoin maxis will absorb most sats in existence.

It's not a good idea to upload your encrypted files on big cloud platforms like Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, or Apple Cloud. Even if you use tools like Cryptomator or VeraCrypt before uploading, there's no guarantee that your encrypted files will stay secure in the long run.
These days, storage is pretty cheap, so those cloud services might still hang onto your encrypted files even if you delete them. The worry is that with the possible rise of quantum computers down the line, these services could potentially crack the encryption of your files and see the content. This concern also applies to people who have been inscribing encrypted zip files on the bitcoin timechain or sharing their encrypted files on the internet.
What you can do about this? Don't upload your encrypted files to the internet. Keep your offline storage hardware in a secure place. Use multiple encryption (encrypting a file several times with different algorithms). Use quantum-proof algorithms.
𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗽: Knowing this, it could be a smart move to acquire as many encrypted files as possible now, because you might have a chance to crack them open later on.

It is not the responsibility of Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok to protect your children from sexual harassment by predators on their platforms. It is YOUR responsibility as parents. Wake the hell up, there's absolutely no damn reason for kids to be on those platforms.

The early distribution of #bitcoin from 2009 to 2020 favored individuals with libertarian, anarcho-capitalist, and anti-statist ideologies who will refuse to sell their #btc to Blackrock, regardless of fiat price.
What do you think will happen when Grayscale finishes selling their coins, OTC markets dry up, and all remaining normie dumbfucks traders "cash out"? Do you think miners will have enough coins to meet the demand? Very few comprehend this. The true value of absolute scarcity will be revealed to the world.

Life is unfair. Don't moan. Don't complain. Be thick-skinned. Make the most of what you can. The more you value things outside your control, the less control you have.

If you truly want freedom, you don't beg for it (voting) — You do what you determine best for you and deal with the consequences of your own bad decisions, not the decisions of the majority of dumbfucks around you.

2024-03-05 17:54:02

Freedom must be distinguished from Democracy.
Democracy is inherently unfair and anti freedom. Why should i obey a ruler who I didn't vote for? Why should I suffer the consequences of other people's decisions?
Democracy has nothing to do with freedom, it's just a numbers game. Evil woke socialist rulers will always get more votes because dumbfucks with lower IQs outnumber the smarter individuals who see through their deception.
A truly fair system would be: allow me to choose my own ruler and only abide by the laws and fruits of that specific ruler. I would then bear the consequences of my choice, just as you would bear the consequences of yours. But even that is still not truly freedom.

2024-03-05 16:53:56

You can't vote your way to freedom. Once you understand freedom you won't have to vote.

#Nostr could learn a thing or two from #StackerNews.
Over there, everything comes with a price tag in sats, every post or comment requires you to pay some sats. This helps prevent spam, bots and low-quality content.
There are no meaningless Likes/Upvotes there aswell, only Zaps, so users zap each other all the time and sats are flying left and right. The platform takes a small fee and then rewards the best content, creating an environment where V4V is highly encouraged. It truly feels like a circular economy.
On the other hand, Nostr feels like it's still stuck in the fiat Twitter mindset, where meaningless Likes are still thing and barely anyone zaps.
Nostr should consider completely removing likes/reactions from clients and replacing them with zaps. There's no excuse for anyone not being able to pay 1 sat instead of a Like. Posts and comments should also cost a small fee that goes to relays. Additionally, implementing a paywall for DMs, so users who i not Follow have to pay a set a mount of sats would help against spam.

Google yourself.
I'm serious. Search your name, nicknames, and email address. You will be surprised by the amount of information available about you. All the websites you have registered on, posts on old forums and personal information of you on sites you may have forgotten about or were not aware of.
Everything you do on the internet is public. An attacker could potentially learn everything about you, your life, and your family through the information you share online. This is known as #OSINT (open-source intelligence).
Take a few hours out of your day to clean what you can, while you still can.

Nostr needs more zaps and less likes. Likes are basically fiat garbage. They're meaningless, #nostr clients should get rid of it and completely replace them with zaps. Even a tiny zap of 1 sat would be enough.
Moving forward, I will only be zapping posts.

Bitcoin conferences have cameras everywhere, people will be snapping photos and videos left and right and posting them on social media. There is no way to prevent this, unless you choose not to attend.
If you do decide to attend, just know that your real identity will be 100% linked to #bitcoin, indicating your strong interest and likely ownership of a significant amount of #btc, making you a potential target in the future.

I HAVE ZERO RESPECT FOR ANY OF THESE FAKE BITCOIN INFLUENCERS WHO TALK A BIG ON TWITTER BUT CAN'T BACK IT UP IN REALITY. YOU PRETEND TO CARE SO MUCH ABOUT BITCOIN AND FREEDOMS, BUT YOU REMAIN ON TWITTER CESSPOOL.
WHY HAVEN'T YOU JUMPED TO NOSTR? I KNOW WHY, BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF FAKES.
Just look at this guys @npub1xee…z3mx — Tweeting all day about #bitcoin and freedoms, finally joins #nostr after 2 fucking years, drops 4 posts, and then disappears back to Twitter shithole. All talk, no action.
