How easy/hard is it to connect a #ledger to #qubes these days?

The docs I've found seem quite outdated. So it's either become quite trivial or so hard that people have given up.

Second best and related, how easy/hard is it to connect a ledger to #ubuntu?

#asknostr

I'd suggest attention is and we give it away way too cheaply.

I like the idea however have mixed feelings about bringing a computer outside. I guess if it is time I would have spent inside, that I can now spend outside, this could be beneficial. It does look great particularly for long form online reading.

TradFi and centralized crypto institutions -

"We need all your private and confidential information to open an account. Don't worry, we keep it safe and are blah, blah, blah certified..

Also these institutions -

"Oops we got hacked and your private and personal information got leaked to the dark web. Here's a couple months of free credit monitoring. (Now go away and don't ask any questions.)"

Say one lives in an apartment in an urban area. What would you suggest as the first security and performance upgrade to a setup that uses the provider's wifi router, hardwired to two separate wifi routers, one for my work and the other for the family stuff?

I grew up in a Roman Catholic household, rejected it, started a secular meditation practice, then gradually studied Buddhism. Today I'm a practicing Buddhist.

Why?

Because over the years I learned to rely on myself, not others. Catholicism teaches one to look for an external savior. Buddhism teaches one to look inside for what one needs.

So the latter is much more synchronized with my worldview.

After spending time in Singapore it's harder than ever to not view the United States as a slowly, yet accelerating, crumbling empire.

#qubesos needs a built-in incremental backup function.

Ever walked through the diamond district in NYC? An entire city avenue block long but it looks like this place dwarfs even it.

The Pentagon is probably appropriately-sized for America's military-industrial complex and associated bureaucracy.

The diamond industry I guess enjoys such huge margins on small stones they don't know what else to do with it.

The book describing the history of DeBeers is pretty fascinating if you haven't already read it. The anecdote that still sticks with me nearly 20 years after reading it is the one about how DeBeers pretty much invented and popularized the engagement ring.

Tradfi boyz hoping hard that NYC becomes crypto's capital so they can still get that condo in Williamsburg and move there w/their girl's flufferdoodle.

They're probably not "allowed" to disclose details due to regulations put in place to keep their customers "protected" out of "an abundance of caution"

How do we disable #replyguy?

Why not F-Droid?

What's the best way to deal w/it right now? I've seen some talk about filtering with relays, however with mixed results.
