@nprofile…t3va please help me understand from your point of view - can't government ban Tor? The entry nodes are known, so from the gov perspective they know you are connecting to tor. Once they know that, they will be knocking on your door.
Even if you connect via VPN, the gov will know you just connected to a VPN service and they will be knocking on your door again.
What am I missing?

That's not how governments act.
They let you connect, create a log of 100 of us, go to their homes in the middle of the night, arrest you in front of your family, call all TV stations, radios, even live stream your trial and do as much advertising as possible and scare as many people as possible.
That's how they do it.
And it works.

Why not? Why should you never mix them?
I thought that if you are paying with a wallet that has a mix of both, they get mixed and sent and the statistical probably says you probably made a genuine payment and the ownership changed hands.

Oh and for a couple of you who asked if I was looking to keep kyc and nkyc separate, the answer is no. That is exactly the point of this consolidation. I figured that if you make mixed payments, you pay a ton of fees but statistically each new payment could be a genuine payment?
But yeah I didn't think about change...
I guess I'm a noob.
I'll check those options you guys posted.

What connections can we establish between finding Christ, Christianity, the religious discovery in general and the Bitcoin rabbit hole. If you dont discuss it, thats ok, because I plan to write a few articles on this topic which sounded very interesting to me. I have seen many bitcoiners describe what can only be associated to a religious experience when discovering bitcoin.

Hey @nprofile…3tqm. Can I ask for help with something please? I'm not very versed in economics but I noticed this in Michael Saylor's presentation and I was wondering if I'm right or if I'm missing something:
So according to saylor, if you have 6.5 coins (or whatever amount) would could potentially have a crazy amount or Dollars in 20 years.
But my problem here is that - the reason why you may have millions in 20 years because the dollar is worth less (inflation) than 20y ago. In other words, it's the same bitcoin value, but the dollar just isn't worth shit and you need 1 million to buy milk.
So, when he says you will be "wealthy" that's not really true.
This insistence is measuring the value of bitcoin in dollars seems futile in the long run. It seems to me we should perhaps use gold as it's depreciation is far more stable and maybe say 1btc = 20 gold coins and in 20 years 1btc = 23 gold coins.
Does any of this make sense? Sorry for the long paragraph. I really appreciate you patience to read it.

Disagree.
Devs need to code better BECAUSE we need to upgrade the hardware all the time. - meaning that no matter what you do, hardware will need to be upgraded and that forces software to change. And changing software is more expensive than changing hardware. So coding well, is important because sooner or later we need to change the software.

We have been through an intense, if muffled crisis in the ongoing political-military confrontation between Russia and the West by way of Ukraine. The essence of this crisis is simple: Kiev and its Western supporters have lost the initiative in the Ukraine proxy war and may be on the verge of defeat, as high Western officials increasingly admit.
In response to this self-inflicted quandary, several important Western players have threatened further escalation. Most prominently, Great Britain’s Foreign Secretary David Cameron publicly encouraged Kiev to use British Storm Shadow missiles to strike inside Russia. French President Emmanuel Macron continued to threaten a direct – not covert, as at present – intervention by French, that is, NATO, troops (In addition, an intriguing and much-discussed article reported that a deployment of 1,500 troops from France’s Foreign Legion had already begun. While its sources were hard to assess, its claims appeared too plausible for easy dismissal.)
Moscow, in return, issued a set of stark warnings, laying down – or highlighting – red lines. It announced drills with tactical nuclear weapons. Belarus did the same; in Minsk’s case, the weapons in question are, of course, also Russian. In addition, the British and French ambassadors received extremely straight talk about the risks their respective governments were running.
Addressing London, Moscow made clear that Kiev striking inside Russia with British missiles would expose Britain to “catastrophic consequences,” in particular, Russian retaliation against British forces anywhere. Regarding France, Moscow blasted its “belligerent” and “provocative” conduct and defied as futile French attempts to produce “strategic ambiguity.”
For now, this particular crisis seems to have abated. There are some signs that the West got the message. NATO figurehead Jens Stoltenberg, for instance, has insisted that NATO is not planning to send troops – openly, that is – into Ukraine.
Yet it would be wrong to feel too reassured. For this crisis was, at its core, a clash between, on one side, a Western problem that has by no means gone away and, on the other side, a persistent Russian policy that, it seems, all too many in the West refuse to take seriously enough.
Message to the West: What’s behind Russia’s tactical nuclear drillsREAD MORE Message to the West: What’s behind Russia’s tactical nuclear drills
The Western problem is that a defeat at Russia’s hands would be worse by orders of magnitude than the fiasco of the rout-like retreat from Afghanistan in 2021. Ironically, that is so because the West itself has charged its needless confrontation with Russia with the power to do unprecedented damage to NATO and the EU:
First, by insisting on treating Ukraine as a de facto almost-NATO-member, which means that by defeating it, Moscow will also defeat Washington’s key alliance. Second, by investing large and growing sums of money and quantities of supplies into this proxy war, which means that the West has weakened itself and, perhaps even more importantly, revealed its own weakness. Third, by trying to ruin both Russia’s economy and its international standing; the failure of both attempts has resulted in a stronger Russia across these two domains and, once again, revealed more limits of Western power. Fourth, by radically subordinating the EU to NATO and Washington, the geopolitical damage has been, as it were, leveraged.
In short, when the Ukraine crisis started in 2013/14 and then greatly escalated in 2022, Russia had vital security interests at stake; the West did not. By now, however, the West has made choices that have charged this conflict and its outcome with the capacity to do great, strategic harm to its own credibility, cohesion, and power: Overreach has consequences. That, briefly, is why the West is at an impasse and remains there after this crisis.
On the other side, we have that persistent policy of Moscow, namely its nuclear doctrine. Much Western commentary tends to overlook or downplay this factor, caricaturing Russia’s repeated warnings about nuclear weapons as “saber-rattling.” Yet, in reality, these warnings are consistent expressions of a policy that has been developed since the early 2000s, that is, for almost a quarter-century.
A key feature of this doctrine is that Russia explicitly retains the option of using nuclear weapons at a relatively early stage in a major conflict and before an adversary has had recourse to them. Many Western analysts have described the purpose of this posture as facilitating a strategy of “escalating to deescalate” (sometimes abbreviated as E2DE), here meaning specifically to end a conventional conflict on favorable terms through a limited use of nuclear weapons to deter the adversary from continuing.
The term “escalate to de-escalate” emerged in the West, not Russia, and this Western interpretation of Russian policy has played an important role in Western politics and debates and, thus, has its critics as well. In addition – but this is a separate question – some analysts point out that the idea of E2DE is less of any country’s national property than something inherent in the logic of nuclear strategy, that other nuclear powers have had similar policies, and that the whole idea, whoever adopts it, may not work.
Russia’s nuclear drills are response to West’s ‘shameless’ policies – Moscow READ MORE Russia’s nuclear drills are response to West’s ‘shameless’ policies – Moscow
In addition, Russia’s nuclear doctrine is, as you would expect, complex. And, while France’s President Emmanuel Macron has made a habit of strutting a constant inconstancy he calls “strategic ambiguity,” Moscow is capable of inflicting some genuine calculated uncertainty on its adversaries, with less bragging but more effectively. Thus, one side of its nuclear doctrine stresses that nuclear weapons could only be used if the existence of the Russian state was in danger, as has just been underlined again by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov. But to misunderstand this as a promise that Moscow would only use nukes if Moscow were under siege and half of Russia’s territory or population gone already, would be foolish.
In reality, there also is room in its nuclear doctrine for treating the “unconditional territorial integrity and sovereignty” of Russia as critical thresholds. How do we know? From multiple Russian documents, which need not be cited here because Ryabkov has reminded us of this facet of Moscow’s policy, too. In the same statement in which he emphasized the criterion of “state existence.” Take that, Emmanuel.
A final point, it seems, needs highlighting as well: Russia has never restricted its option of using nuclear weapons, indeed any type of weapons, to the area of a specific local conflict, for instance, Ukraine. The opposite is the case. Moscow is explicitly reserving the right to strike beyond the confines of such a battlefield. That is something that President Vladimir Putin has made crystal clear in his address to Russia’s Federal Assembly in February of this year. It is exactly that message that Britain has received as well in the recent crisis.
Whichever way you parse it, official Russian nuclear doctrine has specific messages for potential adversaries. Moscow has consistently applied this doctrine throughout the Ukraine War and in its recent warnings – by drill and by diplomatic demarche – to its Western opponents.
But there is the rub: The West has a history of obstinately not hearing Russian messages. That is how we ended up in this war in the first place. Russia had warned the West repeatedly since, at the latest, President Vladimir Putin’s well-known speech at the Munich Security Conference in – wait for it – 2007. The last major warning came in late 2021, when Russia – with Sergey Ryabkov, incidentally, in the forefront – offered the West what turned out to be a last chance to abandon its unilateralism and specifically NATO expansion and, instead, negotiate a new security framework. The West brushed this offer off. With nuclear weapons in play, it is time that Western elites learn to, finally, listen when Russia sends a serious warning.

Milton Friedman, 1967
"a much-quoted passage in his inaugural address, President Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” It is a striking sign of the temper of our times that the controversy about this passage centered on its origin and not on its content. Neither half of the statement expresses a relation between the citizen and his government that is worthy of the ideals of free men in a free society. The paternalistic “what your country can do for you” implies that government is the patron, the citizen the ward, a view that is at odds with the free man’s belief in his own responsibility for his own destiny. The organismic “what you can do for your country” implies that government is the master or the deity, the citizen, the servant or the votary. To the free man, the country is the collection of individuals who compose it, not something over and above them. He is proud of a common heritage and loyal to common traditions. But he regards government as a means, an instrumentality, neither a grantor of favors and gifts, nor a master or god to be blindly worshipped and served. He recognizes no national goal except as it is the consensus of the goals that the citizens severally serve. He recognizes no national purpose except as it is the consensus of the purposes for which the citizens severally strive. The free man will ask neither what his country can do for him nor what he can do for his country. He will ask rather “What can I and my compatriots do through government” to help us discharge our individual responsibilities, to achieve our several goals and purposes, and above all, to protect our freedom? And he will accompany this question with another: How can we keep the government we create from becoming a Frankenstein that will destroy the very freedom we establish it to protect? Freedom is a rare and delicate plant. Our minds tell us, and history confirms, that the great threat to freedom is the concentration of power. Government is necessary to preserve our freedom, it is an instrument through which we can exercise our freedom; yet by concentrating power in political hands, it is also a threat to freedom. Even though the men who wield this power initially be of goodwill and even though they be not corrupted by the power they exercise, the power will both attract and form men of a different stamp."

@npub19mu…jnft
In the last week I've seen a bunch of code that was procedural, stiff, coupled and glued together, dependant on concretions, with all the responsibility in the world in a single method. Classes with 4 functions, each with 150 lines of code, some of them just with 150 of SQL.
I thought, since I have 20 years of experience, and I'm a fairy decent programmer, and I know quality and what it takes to make code reasonable, I made a presentation to explain to my boss and my colleagues who don't read, don't watch YouTube, don't get formal education and the reason why they are there is because they have degrees in physics and maths and can make the machine do what they want, and my presentation would be a reminder that small modules can really help make changes later on and when combined the potential, the cyclomatic complexity, the accidental complexity remain low and we don't require as much cognitive load to understand and change code.
But I gave up doing the presentation. I'm gonna shut up and have a bad time going through their code and make a fool out of myself, you know why?
I realised it's easier and cheaper to find people with large cognitive capacity and lots of energy than to find and pay someone who is an artisan.
Good code is for your own company if you have one. All they want is ship things at the lowest price and whatever comes next, is someone else's problem.

Don't know. I think violence is the only way out of here.

I don't know....
Do you know how tor works? I don't. I trust that millions of other people use it and seems to not have been reports, but in actually I can't trust it if I can't really verify? It seems that I get different IPS and that kinda makes me happy for some uses.
I don't know anything about mullvad.

VPN must be the best lie ever to be told. A centralised service, used by everyone who doesn't want to be seen all in one convenient log for the CIA to read.
Oh, and you pay for it!

When was the last time that upon revealing mass surveillance, unlawful discrimination, war crimes, evidence of torture and atrocities, changed the state of things?

No. I disagree.
The ISP is an implementation detail to facilitate I/O. You can achieve the same using LoraWan, radio, satellite comms. Just not that convenient.
Email server is software. It can be ran anywhere.
However, DNS needs approval from only a few corporations who are in this monopoly business.

How do we go around the DNS centralisation problem?
@npub1gcx…nj5z you had an idea the other day using Nostr. I didn't quite understand it, but would it be worth actually developing a new protocol for this outside of Nostr? A specific Decentralised Domain Name Server Protocol?

But I really like the idea of running a base and grassroots distro :)

Does anyone have a simple setup for a self-hosted email server?
I'm tempted to start with postfix and dkim and all that stuff, but I wonder if there is a better/simpler way to do this?

Not here to change your mind, unless you define "best".

And now you are gonna say that Nostr isn't decentralised.

That's a strange connection. I don't understand exactly whats happening there.

I wish they did. They can't. They are tied to the governments too much.

The way the next few days are gonna be:
1. Work
2. Family
3. Flutter
4. Fitness
5. Finding peace
Every other thing outside of this top 5, I should do my best to run away from.

2024-04-05 19:46:29

I'm gonna use some anonymity from Nostr and extensively criticise all coding work I find. I'll use it to vent all my frustrations with my fellow co-workers and superiors, and I shall tell the world how absolutely shit it is when you are surrounded by idiots.
And no, I'm not buying that book.

@npub1gcx…nj5z I just did the thing where I sent zaps to all amethyst developers. I sent 1000 sats but I had to go and click on each one, go to wallet, approve, go back click another one, approve....
And some of them, including you, didn't work out because of no route in lightning but the button still showed "paid".
Question: is there a way to make one single payment where you just set the zap distribution yourself and the sats get send to each person?

You know @npub1sg6…f63m after much thought, I actually start agreeing - slack is just email.
Why not just use email?

Also... Theres a good chance humanity will be wiped out in the next few months, years. Noone is doing anything about it, the new generation doesn't know how to fight, the neocons don't have a reverse gear.... I don't see us getting out of this without nuclear war
At that point, if there's anything left, maybe personal computers and lora networks running rudimentary relays, may be of some interest.

You raise 2 good points.
I'm not sure about the model and technicalities but I would like to address the other point:
What if Nostr is a bitcoiners only club? What if we are in this closed loop echo chamber, with little tolerance for anybody non-bitcoin?
The thing Nostr needs the most is to be attacked and to ossify in time. Time will carry enough events (life events) that at any given point a tsunami of people can come suddenly looking for shelter. The protocol allows for them to come in.
I doubt that day never comes.
Having said that, I KNOW we are not very well like by the general population, and will increasingly be disliked since the propaganda of the fiat-bodies will rely on this exact premise.
Just like bitcoin - this all depends on how much freedom is each person's priority.
