#invidious has a new patch that uses the html5 client if android client accesboint fails. So it works again for now.

Farside.link

I noticed it progressively. It started out a few days ago, when I got more and more errors. yesterday I had to click an average of 5 times on 'refresh the page' to get the video loading on the same instance.

really weird.

Keep it up!

What metadata is sufficient to prevent others from joining a node? And what do you mean with a node? A relay?

Normally only the relay would see ones location, but with your setup anyone can. This is a potential risk and I actually don't understand how you can suggest people that are most likely to be targeted by big-tech etc, to take it.

eg., anyone being bitcoin owner and maxi, that logs in on your server, will actually publish that they live in say, serbia or denmark. This is crucial identifying information for hackers (facebook).

Now, it is difficult in general to stay anonymous, but most people decide if they share pictures. But they won't think about protecting their ip address.

I would advise against this because you basically share part of the ip address of the devices that are connecting to you, publicly to anyone, while it is classified as personal data.

And your service will be targeted by bad actors to get more information about nostr users.

Also, how does it work? If a note is posted on your relay, and after a few months or longer someone queries for it, do you still have the geolocation data of that note stored in a database? How long do you keep this data? How is it stored?

I do appreciate the fact you openly stated this, nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6. Others can be already doing the tracking without telling the users.

In the end, people must learn to use tor or a vpn to mask their ip address.

I protect you from yourself by not providing a share option :) But I agree. Just only share it with those you think deserve it best.

And I agree

I see you are a vim user? :)

from historic perspective, towns are a proven concept.

Yes.

Haha funny but no.

It is crazy how easy functioning telescopes are build and how so few have one at home

That is a nice observation. Maybe you are right.

Harm To WhatsApp Or Our Users.

You must not (or assist others to) directly, indirectly, through automated or other means access, use, copy, adapt, modify, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute, license, sublicense, transfer, display, perform,

or otherwise exploit our Services in impermissible or unauthorized manners,

- you must not, if unauthorized. So you can do this if it is authorized? Interesting...

(f) collect information of or about our users in any impermissible or unauthorized manner;

(g) sell, resell, rent, or charge for our Services or data obtained from us or our Services in an unauthorized manner;

- so all above actions on data are allowed if authorized?

Those are pieces of the whatsapp terms of service as I viewed in its latest form as of this note. What draw my attention was the use of "unauthorized manner" as condition to it not being allowed. Focus on the short paragraphs.

(I modified the paragraph to make it more readable.

Any sentence can be searched inside of the webpage of the terms of service itself to find its corresponding place in the text.

I advice to copy all text and then paste it into a text editor to utilize it's search functions if it is capable enough.)

Ditch the meta and go to the real world.

People complain about not being able to hold bitcoin in your hands. But why would you want to have it in your hands in the first place?

The reason is that people want to be sure that nobody steals or alters it, that they can do something or notice it, if something happens. We want to feel it in our fingers, to be sure that we are the only ones who can spend it our dollar. If you cannot be sure of the above, even when litterally holding it in your fingers, what is the point of you holding it? Burning it? So, they apply this logic to the dollar.

But here is the catch:

Their very own dollar note they hold in their hands to show that it is touchable and thus better, is not the same dollar as when it was printed. In fact, they don't even own it because the wealth (portion of the dollar economy) can be diminished to the point where it can be safely ignored, on command of the issuer. Even if they know, they can not do anything against it.

Who wants to hold a banknote of the currency from Zimbabwe? I don't think many, because it doesn't make sense. The currency goes to zero while the government is stealing your wealth and there is nothing to do about it, so why even bother holding it?

(On a side note, those same people probably have no problems using a digital credit card to load themselves with invisible debt that is also untouchable.)

#₿itcoin protects against this. Even though you don't hold it in your hands, you can still be sure that it can not be manipulated via supply, on command.

So #Bitcoin provides the same confidence that you would get from physically holding, while not holding physically, whereas any FIAT currency fail to do,

even if you physically hold it.

Let that sink into their minds. Welcome in the #rabbithole.

This could be handy for #orangepilling.

Anybody who can distill this into a nice infograpic?

What about iceskating ads

What is redis used for?

Nice
