so, i don't want trouble with my landlady, and her bank has interfered with me paying her

i have notified her agent here as she and her man seem to have already gone else where other than their own little house here in pretty Sao Vicente, and maybe after some to and fro i will hear about other options but this is worrying me a bit because the current main plan for responding to this is that i draw out large amounts of cash from an ATM using the CC payment network and i figure if the EU banking cartels are getting this antsy this is gonna put me on their radar, if i plul it from one location/operator

so, i'm gonna take a few steps here

firstly, there is several bank options i have in front of me, some of them seem to be foreign based operations, and so this may help reduce my profile on the radar

i'm probably going to go for a bit of a walk this evening, and sample some usage of the payment networks to accumulate my rent payment without any single one of them seeing a big thing all at once, because this is so shady as fuck, and i kinda need the air, tbh

i think that my extra-eu based bank is probably not in the crosshairs at this point, but i'm taking it on advisement that the escalation may continue, and it may be in the future

government overreach into financial privacy in europe is now officially a problem that has impacted my life and has disrupted my mind so much that i have been unable to put it on the task of doing some work on my realy relay... and this is a Bad Thing ™️

also, just want to say, if any y'all are distrustful of the normies and that they are gonna all rat you out like communist snitch brigades, you need not be so alarmed

maybe this is the case in densely populated, highly liberal/progressive areas that i know some of you live in

but the rest of the world is starting to become alert to what's going on and they are and were always allies to our cause, and they will help us when they can

Orange pill your landlady! Bitcoin is the gold bars in a Swiss vault of the digital age.

well, i mentioned to her gopher that i can easily pay her by bitcoin, so, doing my bit

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

just a small addendum, i have discovered that for some reason my https://realy.lol relay is getting out of memory killed (oom killed) after running for some time, and i'm not sure why, i have a bug to fix

but manyana, because i'm gonna take a big long walk to spread out my necessary cash withdrawals so as to not cause too much alarm, since my landlady's bank is interfering with her business

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

first thing i have discovered is it appears that right off the bat after mere minutes my relay's VIRT field in top is showing 7.5Gb

and high CPU usage

i have some debugging to do tomorrow

the RES field is also slowly ticking up and right now at 3gb so there is YET ANOTHER resource leak here somewhere, but at least ... well, idk... before it was CPU and that was a shit, and now it's memory, and it bombs the process

yes, the resident memory amount keeps increasing, so there is some place in this code that is consuming memory and not letting it go, and it's not just threads this time, it's actual memory

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

does anyone else experience problems with terminal layout using VTE based terminals (tilix, gnome-terminal) and the `top` tool?

every so often it goes totally spaz and renders double linebreaks and ruins the output so it isn't readable

any suggestions for a better process monitor than top most appreciated

i also wouldn't mind some kind of tool that lets me have a log of a process such that it keeps a periodic sample of its resource usage over time because out of the blue my fork of relayer is now blowing up memory

i'm in the process of revising my dev system, backing up some critical data so i can do a reinstall but *sigh* the eternal vigilance of network software developers...

our pay rate is high because our problems don't sleep

Orange pill the landlady. Probably easier said than done, but maybe not impossible.

I’m not too worried about my neighbors and such, but my government (USA) is not to be trusted. Basically, the whole establishment was taken over (a long time ago) by radical elites who would be perfectly happy to burn this entire place to the ground and then rule over the ashes. That’s not really my game. I don’t really understand that mentality either. Why, as an elite, would you f**k the working class? What benefit does that provide to you? On the short-term it provides more money to the elites, which just becomes a game to them rather than necessity. On the long-term it erodes the elite’s way of life because they’re largely incapable of providing for themselves so they’re reliant upon the group of people that they’re screwing. Why would they do that?

Anyway, as far as financial oversight goes, we the people (of all countries) ultimately have the power to tell the establishment where to go and what we’re going to put up with. The trick is to get some small percentage of the population all acting in relative unison to send the message to the overlords that we’re not going to take it. Bitcoin is an interesting step in that direction. It doesn’t look like revolt so it’s not largely perceived as such. All the cards are laid out on the table for everyone to see so not a whole lot of people are threatened by it, well, maybe the banks and a few governments are but then they should be threatened by it. That’s kind of the whole point.
