Yeah - hard to find generally (and hard to obtain trusted public knowledge of such actions, not many will put it on display).
But the distinction could be:
1) active pressure from outside (the GOV branches) - not happened here I think
VS
2) proactive measure (in this case suspension of quite harmless domain)
I mean it's understandable for a fake b4nks URL redirect, CSAM, not much restricted FS service and as such.
But coordinator preemptively is just to much kneejerk IMO.

Action understandable for some heavy file sharing, or CASM, or something really sketchy.
This was apparently done preemptively for domain utilizing SW where even coordinator can't know who is who and is innocent by design.
So yes here could be the registrar blamed for such kneejerk.

"The cypherpunk’s architectural triumph has been tragically inverted: an immutable, transparent ledger has become a panoptic tool for state surveillance. The moment a wallet address is linked to a physical identity at a regulated gateway, the blockchain ceases to be a sanctuary of privacy and becomes an indelible public blueprint of an individual’s entire economic life. This capture is not a failure of the protocol’s engineering, but a reminder that sovereign authority is ultimately physical, not mathematical."

#nevent1q…r520
(Below is hastily written - from my past experience, the feeling from transition. No hate, I'm grateful for the project.)
Balancing the mixture of the Google vs nonGoogle parts.
The Private Space is lifesaver in case one needs to have also Google Play or any other Google service because some apps cannot be handled well enough in pure GOS.
Back then relative novelty compared to traditional profile switching.
Also battery life suffers when apps need the Firebase and there is none. So notifications and ability to be on reach.
Signal for example still doesn't work well (mainly the calls).
Finding alternatives for the apps outside of the GPlay. Not only putting them into Obtainium but also solving what solution should I choose from the 4 alternatives.
New UI, new bugs and unexpected behavior.
Repeated data migration. Setting up the storage scopes.
No available camera SW, so only usable is the Camera from Google.
(And the Google Photos being hardcoded in the preview so Immich can't be invoked from the camera app.)
Backing up the files - Syncthing, LocalSend, Immich for photos, Proton Drive - what else?
Keeping in mind what is backed-up to where by what and how often and is it reliable?
Failing many times because of Battery restrictions or being killed from the background running Active apps.
There is possibly no comprehensive guide nor a list of apps to solve the common problems.
Also because all is from one center (Google) and must be redistributed (to the apps).
The switch in ownership of an apps - like SimpleMobileTools vs Fossify.
.apk in general, the beta vs stable, the repos, for the Proton is not easy to find them all.
Nuances such as GPlay version of .apk vs for f-droid repos.
Verification of the .apk and how to do that.
The Privacy (GOS does not address much) vs Security (GOS main target).
Finding out the backup in the GOS is not reliable and often doesn't work, therefore can't be used to almost 1:1 copy to a new phone.
For reasons if something should stay connected it does need to be permanently in the notification area?
Especially the nostr apps (Amber, Citrine, Pokey) - add Signal, Meshcore, BitChat and alike, for example.
They pop up all the time back in the notification after being pushed out.
Sometimes, seems to me, apps failing work properly if they are not present there.
So the entire notification is still heavily occupied.
The distinction between Active apps (and how to achieve they stay alive) and the notification area. It's misleading.
And in case of low-RAM device, any ram hungry app will kill the apps from Active apps (always the case with the Camera).
Janky eSIM activation. Play integrity api used?
No decent keyboard before the FUTO one.
No good call filtering (only working solution if the one from Google) available to fight spam and unwanted calls.
I like GOS, daily driver; There is so much.

Ohh, yes - the DNS (this one is Mullvad), blocking somehow the Amber/relay connection. Interestingly, repost does worked, the quote doesn't. The request arrives at the signer minutes later. The networking combination of VPNs and DNS is difficult to use with remote signers.

E) this: sometimes it is on the main screen, sometimes not. Based on this I can choose to Pay BLIK or not. It's not persistent.

I have some questions for @npub1k3g…stj3 , 2 sets:
App in general:
1) What can be done while waiting for the counterparty to provide a code? For example, can I leave the app, switching to another one while shopping on the same device?
2) Regarding liquidity: this assumes someone is monitoring offers - so we are basically dependent on Polish daytime (and holidays)?
3) How long is a BLIK code valid? Can I generate one in advance for later use (e.g., a few minutes ahead) to avoid bothering the cashier?
Troubleshooting:
A) How long does it typically take for the coordinator to reach out via DM? Is it measured in days or hours? Does response time depend on whether I'm the taker or maker?
B) Nostr DMs are finicky; some apps don't work well or refuse cooperation with external signers like Amber. Should I switch to some preferred client?
C) I believe I encountered a bug and want to report it, but can't enable logging anywhere. If I provide the date and time of the event, can you retrieve any relevant data?
D) During disputes, the "Pay/Buy" option appears inactive on the main screen, though I can create a new payment offer via the right-side submenu. Is this a bug?
E) While the HTLC is settled - Dispute is in orange state - but why? If manually confirmed (I assume by coordinator) the dispute is in 'Coordinator is in review' state, is this not dependent on HTLC status?
Thank you for info on this, I'm not in hurry.

In the Jumble client, your profile displays: "This user has not set up NIP4-e DMs."
Amethyst shows no delivered DM. I sent one; check if it arrives.
Regarding the coordinator: there is no reaction. I had to import the nsec into another client because DMs do not work with a remote signer. The client used is YakyHonne.

There is a searchable database, made by our state news outlet that, utilizing long-term borrowing statistics from big Prague public library, attempts to recommend other books when searched, based on what people borrow altogether with the book user search for.
Nothing new - simple algo, yet it's with clear UI and no bloat around.
Also this is based on library data, not on eshop data (usually not publicly available and smaller sample per shop).
So looking at what a Czech bitcoiner is doing here. And yes.
If someone will borrow the 'Inventing Bitcoin - Yan Pritzker', he also borrow some Bitcoin and also more Bitcoin :D
Nothing unexpected tbh.
(I know, small sample - even in times of bull.)

Seeing yesterday a lot of positive references for @npub1k3g…stj3 proxy - decided to try it as well.
(Experienced bug possibly - overall if working it's great service, really.)
This was my first use.
So logged into a merchant, loaded basked with items and proceeded to payment.
Opened the @npub1k3g…stj3 app v0.7.0 > Pay BLIK > Entered amount > copied the LN payment info > switched to my LN wallet > sent sats.
(Payment status showed 'pending HTLC' due to hold invoice, I waited here a little bit until there is timeout and returned back into bitblik, didn't realize it's hodl invoice to that is why).
Upon return, the 'Waiting for a Taker' appeared.
Unfortunately offer expired, presenting 2 options:
New offer - same amount / Go Home.
And here the troubles start I think.
Because none of the offered actions worked, remained on the same screen regardless of the action performed. I had to force-quit the app and restart it.
The next offer ended flawlessly; I received the code, and the counterparty confirmed it in the Blik app.
For the first transaction, I did not see any code at all.
Later, I found out that repeatedly clicking 'New offer' likely created multiple duplicate entries. Several returned the error: "Offer details missing or invalid.
Sometimes in the main menu, an option appeared (full screen or the info for one of the offers) - once I was able to click on 'Cancel' for such offer. And one reappeared, presumably the first and I can later (an hour later) choose the 'Invalid BLIK code' - I had no chance to leave the screen (I didn't see any code at all).
This stuck on waiting for a code or dispute. The HTLC settled - maybe 3 hrs later. So unfortunately ended up paying twice.
Looking at the taker - he is the same npub for both the OK and malfunction one.
It is, I think, a bug in the app, not with the coordinator.
(And the BLIK counterparty cannot see 2 payments being charged, used only one code. Truth is, I have no way to prove this.)
There is an Offer Conflict Reported with contact info for coordinator.
Sent message - so far have no info from him, but he has already settled the payment.
I was thinking to fill an issue on GH (there is link in app for repo) but the repo is now in archived state.
And new one has no issues.
Have a lot of prtscn made along the way - this could be eventually shared more privately, but how?
Don't know what to do and expect.

There is this Moravec's paradox.
That is: from a human perspective - easy tasks (moving objects) are the hardest to teach an AI (or make a code that will operate the HW).
And vice versa, the hardest tasks for us (thinking, writing) are easier - achievable.
I'd like it when someone challenge the old status quo.
This guy - Arvind Narayanan - (also writing the AI Snake Oil newsletter) digging in to it.
"The famous aphorism is neither true nor useful"
"Moravec’s paradox never been empirically tested. (It’s often repeated as a fact by many AI researchers, including pioneers I know and respect, but that doesn’t mean I’ll take their claims at face value!)"
"It is really a statement about what the AI community finds it worthwhile to work on. It doesn’t have any predictive power about which problems are going to be easy or hard for AI."

Also the WoT reputation, is better than nothing, yet can't ultimately save the day. Or I am missing something. This could just happen here as well just it's not yet worth of targeting I think.

Afaik it won't help much because if model must be split between VRAM <> anything else - it's slow. And there is the KV cache for the context adding to the load. Iirc the inference, in case it doesn't using weights from VRAM, goes for RAM but this is computed on CPU - it's slow as hell (also dependent on how fast is CPU<>GPU communication). The Optane will be avoided and if not, the slowdown compared to RAM is even bigger.
Small models still do not fit in consumer HW - maybe for certain tasks & managing tool calls output but must be guided by bigger (API connected) model.
(Have no experience really, only I hope some day can offload the token consumption partially to my already existing HW, so far this is possible for simple tasks like generating the title for a conversation but not much more.)

Or try @npub1mft…rkl3 l (https://vexl.it/) for the same + there are some goods/services as well.
The phone number is only for matchmaking (and by extension the reputation, if you can reach the peers and ask about the counterparty, depends on how you source the contacts).
Encrypted, no account, live only in device.
It does use Signal messaging-like solution under the hood iirc, SMS is only for verification so no bots can use it.
So not even them can read and conclude if anything happened on the platform.
Only both counterparty can know (and it's necessity anyway for f2f).

Curious why you went the KYC route? Do you think it was a bad move after all this time?

Friendly reminder: you do not need the fcuking Docker Desktop. It's sluggish, wannabe AI enhanced, idk what else it does, fancy dashboard(?).
Basically all that is needed can be handled from the cli, goddamn.
Also it does create the infamous ~/.docker/desktop/vms/0/data/Docker.raw and this is (despite a setting in the GUI) often overridden by Docker resulting in insane amounts of storage taken by this volume.
And to make this worse, it's a static size regardless of whether there is something inside or not. Any prune won't make it smaller.
And if there is encryption in place it will get stuck forever creating this volume black box blob.
It's really beyond my understanding why the Desktop is always bundled with many installation guides, war crime this is.

I feel like Amethyst does that. If a comment note is clicked (from the Conversations feed) I'm starting in the position within entire history from original note - ending with all the comments.
Can quickly scroll up/down and return by sideway R>L swipe. Neat.
Amethyst is mobile (Android), so not sure if apply to the criteria as all examples are web/PWA.
I'm using Coracle also a lot, both PWA and mobile because of this ability to see more of the context.

Today I updated my Matrix server because of a fix to mitigate a signing-key compromise in Element Server Suite (ESS) by ignoring the affected key by default.
For my rooms, this means a migration, and after that everyone sees: "This room has been replaced and is no longer active."
The only quick, meaningful explanation of why this message is displayed is to be found here:
https://forum.torproject.org/t/tor-project-matrix-room-upgrades-coming-next-week/20536.
It's funny; the average user has no idea, everyone just clicking on it.
In effect, this also means old messages can't really be deleted anymore. That's only possible in the currently active room.
Also, if the room is private, users cannot migrate on their own. An admin must invite them one by one.
Manually, there is no script.
In general, I realized a few more things:
Communities are in the documentation but aren't used anymore; there are Spaces instead.
And Spaces don't have any (non-technical, user-facing) documentation on Matrix . org.
Rooms can't be migrated between Spaces and standalone rooms easily anyway.
(At least in Element, I couldn't figure it out, maybe it's client-dependent for now.)
Not to mention: the biggest hurdle is still identity (MXID) in Matrix, which is DNS-dependent. DNS is a scam, a chokepoint of rented addresses.
Resilient, DNSSEC provides nice protection against response tampering, but that's it.
@username:sub.domain.xyz. That's all. If the server where you create the account isn't hosted well, you're cooked the moment the identity is created.
Stolen, seized, or expired domains. Or just the fact that, along the DNS chain of command, there's usually a SPOF, with a single person holding the credentials.
This is something Nostr definitely handles better.

What is the matter with Simple Taproot Channels on LND not being used much? Having trouble finding a node to open one.

I'd like to read (in my opinion) high quality and not much biased critique, like this one.
And especially from someone who is an expert (unlike me) for this programming stuff.
So lets explore some Vervaekeism (had to use Kagi search as it's a novelty to me) about how getting dirty with code can reveal us that the syntax is not mere ceremony; boilerplate is meaningful.
*the part about the domestication of us humans (with the example of wood-burning stoves) really reminds me of how it took me almost 3 yrs to learn how to operate the downdraft gasification boiler that replaced the old 'just burn the pile of wood somehow'.
Not to mention that one tiny broken part in the mechanism responsible for dealing with the pressure difference between building heating and long-distance hot water pipeline for the heat distribution.
Spend 4 days with no heat and hot water in lowest temperatures this winter.
Undisclosed and thus not well understood complexity that can't be explained correctly by the AI can be hard to fix.
(Despite the manuals, years of the forum posts and entire FAQ knowledge being available basically online for AI to digest.)
And that is easier with hardware as it offers quite direct feedback, with the hot stuff, if done wrong.

Signal may not be perfect.
But every single time I use anything different, it remind me how clean the UI/UX is.
And I hope they won't change anything about it at all.
For example, started few months unused Matrix client, the Element:
+++ does work with VPN, alias email service, no questions asked, no phone verification
- there is left bar menu, opening one submenu, with Home and rest of whatever call it, rooms?
- this Home opening sub-menu People/Rooms/System Alers chats
- some rooms are only visible under Home, while some in left menu, idk why
- there is a division between rooms and space - can't understand difference
- Almost 3/4 of rooms have now the message: This room has been replaced and is no longer active. But why, some large upgrade?
- if I do not visit every room and migrate myself into new one, I'm basically with no info about it's dead end situation
- rooms chat are clumsy, full of info like: changed their profile picture 4 times, changed their name, and left. Umm, cool and what?
- more spam and unrelated service info, especially if there is Discord/TG/IRC<>Matrix bridge connection
- so messages look like shit: RoomBridge <UserXYZ:Discord> 'Actual message'
- hard to react on this
- hard to meaningfully search the content
- servers suck, if it fck up itself, entire room is corrupted
- moderation on this mess is almost impossible
- clients suck as well - monoculture now, Element only afaik 'usable'
- have no info what is shared where and what rules are applied to such connections
- some bridges are one way, some rooms have apparently mixed modes
- so many rooms have 'End-to-end encryption isn't enabled'
- it even can't be enabled because of: 'Enabling encryption may prevent many bots and bridges from working correctly.' (Ok, this does make sense.)
- if I leave old rooms, some remain in notifications, stuck forever and I can't get rid of them
Feels like Element won't starting for few more months on my machine yet again.
SimpleX still is quite promising.

Dark (2017) - it's not easy to watch due to its complicated storyline, and keeping track on the family connections is no easy task, so a pen & paper may come handy.

Generally, I may lose interest as have no time to binge watch and rarely can keep up with the series. So unless it's a group activity, like 'let's watch together' I'm the same.

As my consumption of sugar and caffeine dropped to basically 0 for prolonged periods of time, it is interesting to see how even moderate sugar intake (a few hours before sleep) can change the qualities of my dreams.
Sugar-assisted dreams are:
- very vivid and colorful, feeling like almost the IPS vs OLED; until this happened to me, I had no idea it could be that different
- more unhinged content; I can almost run in the dreams or swiftly switch the place of the story to another
No nightmares, it is just different, not worse in general. Before my lifestyle changed to this, mainly no sugar/carbs diet, it did not occur to me.
I had no dreams like that despite being 'high on carbs' all the time.
Now that there is some, say, more normal baseline, the difference can be seen and compared to the normal state.
