Folks what questions do you have for this week’s #FreedomTechFriday?
Want nostr:nprofile1qqs936kc97s4k4gqjnmltljgqns0uadh08d77t5mypg3anxkneks37gpzemhxue69uhhsmtj9e6hxetwdaehgu3wdaexwqguwaehxw309ahx7um5wghx6at5d9h8jampd3kx2apwvdhk6v0sk82 opinion on a certain topic or tool? Need nostr:npub1lqvv69u549atefvcyfht30lemlyvl9jnz4l7c6ejs20yzpq7hh7sjjfx0r to tell you about mining?
No question just happy to see y'all live in podcasting 2.0 apps last week or as we call it LIT which stands for Live Item Tag.
Still some bugs I'm sure but y'all don't even show your faces so video is pointless imo. I only went on YouTube to troll Max and give words of encouragement. Gotta keep that ego on check.
Live is LIT!!!! 🔥
I want to know how you are getting on with your new router.
I just set it up today and so far it seems to have immediately fixed my internet woes
Regarding last weeks topic: Thoughts about duck.ai by duckduckgo. I use it to "privately" access Chat GPT (4o mini) without signup. They added image upload and web search. 👀
Useful info dude, thank you
Here is the question:
Do you think people who runs these knots, do they ever transact or just run their knots?
I like the idea of using a local 8B LLM on my laptop.
What’s the best way to add a web search layer on top of a model running f.e. in Ollama? Are there any standard good solutions?
I tried using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) myself, but it didn’t work as expected. Even using a separate embedded context LLM beforehand didn’t have the desired effect.
Ollama? greatest name choice. in math: yama-scale (O(Alpaka)).
The Lama/Alpaka are there for wool and stuff. If they spit in one's face one is medium length as an adult.
For Germans this name fits.
Which Bitcoin Privacy Technologies Leave a Blockchain Footprint and Create “Tainted” Coins?
In Bitcoin, all on-chain activity is permanently visible, and most privacy-enhancing techniques leave recognizable patterns. These can lead to “taint” — where coins are flagged by blockchain surveillance tools (like Chainalysis, Elliptic, or TRM Labs) as suspicious or high-risk.
GM Folks ✌🏻
Some great questions in here! Any more to add for this Fridays show? 👇
What risks are imposed by the human verification captchas across the internet? What is cloudflare and fingerprinting, and how is this used to track humans?
What flavor of Linux is the most privacy protecting straight out of the box?
Orange pilled my mother last year. Holding for her currently. Slowly gearing up for her own cold storage. Undecided on the best way because she's old and tech-illiterate. Suggestions?
Noted thanks
Just to add a layer of complexity to the situation: she lives in England and I live in the States. She's visiting for a month later on in the year. I'd like to stamp her seed in steel but I have concerns about her flying home with that. I have some ideas on how to mitigate risk, but I'd like for you guys to chime in...
Of course
FINAL CALL FOR MORE Q's FOR TOMORROW'S LIVE STREAM.
PICK THE BRAINS OF A SMART GUY, A ROBOT AND A VILLAGE IDIOT.

What are you most optimistic about in the Bitcoin and Monero space?
Noted, thanks
Re: lightning privacy in yesterday’s “sort of live” rip… when you say the privacy is pretty good when you “run your own channels”, does this include opening non-public channels to various LSPs (as with Alby Hub), or do you specifically mean opening channels only with other plebs on the Lightning network and hoping that you’re well-connected enough to find the routes you need?
Thanks in advance. Freedom Tech Fridays are an excellent addition to the UM lineup 🥷🤙
It mainly depends on how the routing is handled. If the LSP is doing it for you, then it’s not so good for your privacy. Perhaps nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0jmqtfs can comment on specifics here?
Thanks brother. I know connecting your Alby account to your node also gives Alby view access to transactions… so my next step is to self-host an Alby Lightning node on Start9, separately from the Alby hub cloud service node. Still figuring things out wrt Lightning addresses, Bolt12, etc etc
