Last Notes npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist You Didn't Notice MP3 Is Now Free https://idiallo.com/blog/listen-mp3-is-free npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist When not using a broken system only makes it worse. https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2025/01/23/cvss-is-dead-to-us/ npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist You put a man without any respect for democracy in power to free one man from prison? You can check from following politic news but politics does affect you. The demise of American democracy will affect you. Good luck. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist City water. High taxes + rainy place = good quality city water. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I am doing the wireguard approach (although I failed so many times to get local LAN routing to work that i have up and started to use Tailscale...) But I also does not really have any external users for that reason 😅 npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist You feel comfortable exposing jellyfin to the open web? I do not trust myself nor most software with that. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I could see how the small size of farms would also limit the amount of risk that can be taken to innovate. If a massive company probably does not even want insurance. Talking that risk seems like a core thing. A massive company could probably also develop a more systemic approach, instead of buying "cures and fixes". npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist using their right to do whatever they want with their lifes. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist There is no free lunch. The massive upside potential of bitcoin comes with an equally massive risk. Nobody knowns what value of a bitcoin will be if/when bitcoin becomes a dominant currency. Maybe 1mil maybe 40k. At some point the purchasing power increase of bitcoin will increase with the global output increase. Paying of your mortgage is low risk use. Divide your money between the two according to the risk level you are comfortable with. Will you be able to sit through the next BTC crash without panic selling? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Followed matrix quite closely for a long time. I have never really liked the user interface. I actually started to onboard people but they complained quite a lot. It used to be increasingly slow and unstable, that have gotten a lot better I think. SimpleX seems quite new to me. Will have to look into it. But it will be hard to beat the spousal approval factor and intense scrutiny that the signal is under. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist What do you see as the thing I should use instead of signal and what is the trade off? Finnally starting to get traction with people moving onto signal. Seems like a very hard step to move platform again... npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Why is it a waste? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Multi verse is actually not a crazy theory in quantum mechanics, the traditional theory is much more weird IMO. With that said, it makes no sense to me that the fact quantum computation is so powerful is part of that debate. Quantum computers can use a lot of really funky physics, it makes sense that you can bild things with funky physics that you can not build with regular physics. Source: studied physics for 5 years... npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist As long as we are in the number go up phase, the usefulness of bitcoin is actually greatly deminished. Money is more usefull when it is stable in purchasing power. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist The amount of damage car centric design have made is staggering. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist A really good question. Must be neo-liberalism. I like the idea of a free market world. Humanty shows its best side when we are able to cooperate on a global scale. They loose me when they think markets is the solution to everything, even things that create awful markets like healthcare, schools, etc.. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I think many (me included) have been traumatized by really, really, really stupid corporate AI ideas that the product folks (or worse CEO) dreamed up after trying chat GPT for the first time.... npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist All the cypher punks are on nostr and he is on twitter? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Why are you separating threads from comments on a message? I feel like I am missing something here.... npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Private platforms and actors = moderation Public platforms and actors = censorship Private platforms have the right to moderate. Moderation will increase on nostr as well. It is just that nostr is the innovation to separate identity from a specific moderator. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Depending on you reading of trump I guess. I expect trump's disregard for democracy to starts shine through in his actions pretty fast. Then the need for social media outside of government control will be very clear. I always hope we never REALLY need any of this freedom tech. But yeah probably app interoperability will always be the best seller. Unless things go really dark. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I can really see why this time is different. He was so incredibly open with his disdane for democracy, and people still choose him. Where do you go from there? I really hope you all figure this out. Would be a shame to loose American democracy, even if it was pretty pathetic to beging with. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist As non-american I find it very weird many of otherwise mostly sensible side of americans use letters to refere to words. It is very confusing. In this case i guess you refere to the word retarded? When talking about the use of a word it must be ok to use the word even if in most contexts it is viewed as offensive. Do you not trust that people understand context at all? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Flotilla is looking really promising. Really like the architecture 1 relay is one community. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Talking to otherwise politically interested people, there is zero insight about the internets danger to the stability of democracy, zero. The solution to the paradox is probably that they have no idea what they I are doing. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist 😂 In a nostr thread, discussing operating systems from a freedom perspective, normal is weird. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist This is the kind of paranoia I expect from this bunch of beautiful crazy people! I have wanted to check out graphene os lots of times. One day! npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist That is indeed how 99% of people think. It is the "I have nothing to hide"/"nobody is interested in me" equivalent. I would expect the paranoid crypto anarchists to get a severe allergic reaction to giving up that kind of power even if they do not require the freedom right now. I would not argue against having a decoy government phone to keep up the appearance of being a normal citizen. That is not my level of paranoia though... npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Any suggestion for good "community" nostr apps? Looking to have an alternative to the local Facebook group. Something along the lines of being able to join a community by scanning a QR code/follow a link. Then you are only shown notes and replies from the community. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I can not understand the large number of people that are willing to sacrifice a lot to decentralice money and social media but use a phone that they need the governments and a private companies permission to run software on. I understand that 99% people do not care about neither until it is to late. But I would assume we, the 1% paranoid crypto anarchists would care about both. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist At least publicly, there is a worry from politics that cash is dissapearing. Not from a privacy aspect of course, but from a robustness aspect. In a crisis, cash is king. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist This is such an underrated strategy. Not only will it hurt the Russian war effort in a non-violent way. Also, after the war and when Putin loose power, some of these Russians can return and bring back knowledge and values that could help build a better Russia that is less likely to start a war again. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Dehumanization is dangerous. This is how we end up doing the most horrible things to each other. From a purely strategic sense. Violence feeds violence. Any violence that can be avoided gives makes the road shorter to a peaceful co-existence of Russia and Ukraine in the future. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Our relationship with violence is unhinged. Long term security is not reachable by violence. The reason Sweden and Denmark stopped centuries of wars and became close friends was not beacuse of violence. That Japan stopped with it's violence after world war 2 was not because of violence. Israel will not stop Palestinian violence through violence. There is just a new villain back stories playing out in hundreds of tragedies in Gaza right now. The west should really think about what we could have done to help Russia in the 90's to stop the country from gliding back into dictatorship. The answer to lasting peace is probably quite complex. But building more capability for violence is straightforward. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Signal. It has the most eyes on it. Imagine beeing the security researcher exposing a severe signal issue. Of course I would be shitting my pants. In this situation probably already have pegasus on my device. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I see it like a directed graph. Every transaction is a node with bitcoin coming in and out. By using the heuristic that a Node in this graph is a transaction by single person it is possible to track you. Mixing breaks this heuristic by includeing multiple people in the same Node npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist As I understand mixers, it is like everyone putting their coins in a pot to melt the coins and create new ones. Everyone then takes out one coin each. To an outside observer they just know what coins went in an what coins went out. Not any relation between them. So it is a lot better than just switching coins with each other. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Democracy matters. Voting is a basic step. Organize and fight for change. If we give up on democracy we will soon lose it. Then even bitcoin will help you be free. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist This was unexpectedly fun to think about. I have no finance knowledge only maths knowledge. They way I would tackle the issue would be to start with calculating the value of the bond at the start of they day. Then identifying the important changes. 1. The riskyness change. 6% to 12% return to take on the risk. 2. The increased time until I get the coupons. Then calculate the value after those changes. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist 😂 npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist First episode I listened to was about why there would be no more episodes. Related to my frustration at leftist open source community for not appreciating bitcoin at all, and beeing aleanated from most bitcoiner because they have so many other weird ideas. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist If I remember correctly, there are similar exceptions for apps that big businesses use, like slack and office. Enougj big companies would move platform, not enough private users do. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist The only thing we learn from history is that we do not learn from history. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist IMO buy bitcoin if you have a use for it. Not based on price speculation, especially based on your national political events. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Though. We might end up forcing governments hand. Make them offer a cashu like solution denominated in <insert local currency> with global lightning based interopability. That would be a hughe victory and an "end state" for bitcoin "scaling" that I would be quite happy with. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist For really places it is common to pump heat from the ground instead of air. That way air temperature is not a problem. Miner waste heat is still a valuable resource but not a primary output. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist This one? https://www.parl.ca/documentviewer/en/42-1/bill/c-69/first-reading npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist #nevent1q…x94f this retrospecting is of course triggered by this publication npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] /msg09964.html "At first, most users would run network nodes, but as the network grows beyond a certain point, it would be left more and more to specialists with server farms of specialized hardware." - Satoshi Find it really interesting that we have ended up valuing decentrazation of full nodes much more than Satoshi did at the time of announcing Bitcoin. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist gm npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Often overlooked fact is that decentralised systems are not only difficult to stop in practice, but also appears difficult to stop in law. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist "In both regulations, purely decentralised protocols are left out." npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Diversity and competition , relays and clients can try things and follow visions freely without having the responsibility of the network that a centralized company have. Multiple different solutions can co exists while keeping a network effect together. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Best thing I have read in ages #nevent1q…quwj npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I would worry about collisions. The object with the id could livee longer than then pointer. When the memmory is free again we might have a new different object at the same point in memmory... npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I think you are right that bitcoin should be for money. But not because it was the original intent, fuck Satoshi, kill your heroes, it should be money because i belive that is where it will do the biggest positive impact on the world. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Yes we can not stop it, nor should we. But are you as exited about a future with a bitcoin blockhains full of rich people's jpegs as opposed to a future with a blockchain full off developing world people's channel open and close transactions? To me it higligt that bitcoins utility is threatened by global inequality. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist When shit hits the fan, that is when you pay for your past convenience. #nevent1q…3h7w npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist There is an "install" option to add a webpage to the home screen in Firefox on android. Seems to work fine. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist That was the first one I tried... But the add to Firefox button i greyed out and not working... https://i.imgur.com/HtBJzCM.png npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Not finding any NIP-07 extensions for Firefox on android at all.... npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Would be cool to have a feed with people close, but for that it zip code is way to fine-grained. Worked with maps before, any assumption you make about zip codes will break somewhere. Maybe some GPS coordinate grid, easiest could be to remove some digits at the end of the coordinated. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Northern Europe. And I would have to be really desperate to want to live in 🇺🇸 😉 npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Indeed, it is extra special as it is the first spring I have my own. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Digging in the garden and learning postgres ☀️ https://i.imgur.com/fB2nkPj.jpg npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I think the word Faith is central to my problem with religion. You HAVE faith, not convinced by the evidence into faith. (That is at least the picture I have gotten after speeking to and reading religious people) npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist All top 5 in HDI are in 20 twenty of lowest importance of religion. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Good example could be to compare https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Importance_of_religion_by_country npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist The argument that religious beliefs are good for society is IMO very week. I see very little correlation between safe, prosperous, high-trust societies and religious beliefs. What I see is religion beeing used as an effective excuses to do what you would have otherwise already done, bee it good and bad. The issues with that is of course that we often exempt religious beliefs from the scrutiny and demands we place on other beliefs. Both demands from within and for each others. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist People ask for features but reliability often has a bigger impact on experience. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist America is really good at things that private enterprise does well. Other things like planning cities and generally creating a society where people thrive, not so much. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist It is very dangerous to use past performance as an indicator for future performance. We bitcoin maxis should also remember that more often for what it's worth. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Do you want to produce an OS image? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Hashtag emojis can easily be changed later, so just go for it and if someone have a better idea later it can just change. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Reminds me of the the saying. Most people overestimate what can happen in a year and underestimate what can happen in a decade. 2 years is such an incredible short time. Applying general purpose technology takes time. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Compose probably turned 3 hours of work setting up my relay to 20 minutes. dB, relay, proxy. Glue the stuff together and done! npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I prefer using containers and docker-compose to configure it all. Dockerfiles and docker-compose.yml force me to document what I had to do to get something working. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist #[0] recommend npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Verifying my Nostr Nests identity: sv2O0lvASTafkQhQuSsv3mbEMbmF8BrHsNYfSMNemog https://nostrnests.com npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I do not envy the politician that want to try and enact this as a policy... 🙈 npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Higher taxes would reduce velocity right? VAT/income tax will shrink the money supply in proportion to the velocity. If money moves really fast it will be taxed much more than if it just sits still in a bank account. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I think this clearly shows that regular people should never know there is a lightning network nor that there is something called on chain. bitcoin should just take 2 seconds to send and cost 2 cents. Merchants accepting bitcoin in a way that does not meet this requirement is doing the network more harm than good right now. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Worried about the #[0] trend. Feels like the proof of stake version of nostr while paid relays with lightning is the proof of work version. The user experience of having to convince 5 people you are not a bot before gaining proper access to the platform seems bad. If this is popular you might have issues to get the attention of verified people beacuse they filter out non verified bots. Reminds me of the torrenting sites where you where required to build a reputation by seeding but it was essentially impossible to get a good ratio as a new user. The decentralization aspect is troubling as well. This does not look to be just another NIP. It is by putting some people at the top of a trust hierarchy. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Finnaly a good use of decentraliserad social media! On our way to the forest in the cargo bike! #DogsOfNostr https://i.imgur.com/thZXREw.jpg npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Depending on where you are coming from, but making home made food, listening to when you are full, varied foods including vegtable/fruit, and reduce sugar goes a long way. Processed meat and beef can also be good to reduce, appears in a lot of studies in the wrong column. Incorporating som lentils, peas, and/or beans are good. Olive oil also. I am a fan of the milder taste of canola oil for cooking. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Use podman instead? 😉 npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist We can never guarantee that governments will not make it illegal to use bitcoin in a pseudonymous way. Depending on technology we can make it more or less difficult. For example, It is much harder to limit the freedom of individuals than it is to limit the freedom companies are allowed to give customers. Further, torrenting is a good example of technology making legislation inefficient even if it actually becomes illegal for individuals. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I care about buying groceries with bitcoin. Government can and and should ask questions if large unexplained sums appear. That does not mean that we should be ok with every transaction beein de-anonymized. There is still a value in moving away from the current system where all interactions with digital money is through companies with KYC requirements. My fear is that we just recreate the current system but with lightning as a settlement layer. We should aim to win back more freedoms than that. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Loss of funds is not my primary concern. I see a clear risk that KYC-free custodial LN wallets will go the way of the KYC-free exchange. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Non bitcoin/nostr-dev content Could maybe be bootstrapped with good account switching UX as bitcoiners have other interests as well. Normalize and make it easy to have multiple accounts for different interests. Better search and suggestions for people to get past the spam and bitcoiner content. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Companies making billions in profits and firing people beacuse they updated their excel sheets with a new risk free rate to discount future earnings. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist If you want to do really fancy stuff with containers take a look at the SDKs. You can run either docker or podman as the backend. https://podman.io/blogs/2020/08/10/podman-go-bindings.html https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/sdk/ npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist The hardware wallet will make it really hard to take your bitcoin even if your main computer/phone is compromised. The steel backup protects you from the even larger dangers to your bitcoin: water, fire, and someone cleaning out your papers. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Will of course depend on the amount of bitcoin and your threat model. Hardware wallet with a metal seed backup is a sweet spot for many. For example a coldcard + cryptosteel capsule. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist https://www.theonion.com/spacex-crew-member-realizes-he-fired-after-being-locked-1850213418 npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Alright, that is what I hoped for. I might not share you deep suspicion of government (not growing up in the US probably helped 😅) But "the problem is real even if I hate all the solutions I can think of" is coherent and impressive position. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Decentralization is really hard. But I am sceptical the solution lies in the buzzwords I hear at work. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Sometimes it's is simplicity and limitations that foster the greatest innovations. In many cases less is more. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I know climate change has ended up on one side of that weird "culture war" or whatever Americans are up to. But do you really think that climate change is not a major concern? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Decentralization has a network effect. Also the initial userbase preferences.
