Gm #nostr Happy Sunday ☀️🫂💜

I love softwares like electrum where you can do much more things than advertised.

For all the other crapware in bitcoin space is the opposite, with very few exceptions.

Most of the wallets hide the fact that they are just bad by saying that they target an hypotetichal "non-techie user" implicitely admitting that who will use that shit will not be able to understand it is shit anyway, so its fine.

well, i just became a kde plasma maxi

all of my displays are now pretty close to the same contrast, brightness and color balance

this was impossible with gnome, not to mention a host of other bullshits to deal with

i can't quite see how it has a per-screen adjustment but it's close enough now that if i had a hardware color calibrator i could have some sort of semblance of uniform color... the little display is a little washed out compared to the big ones but it's near enough i'm gonna call it

been busy rearranging and tidying the setup

the center monitor is a FHD 144hz portable display that i use as my main viewer for web pages and playing games, the other two were previously a pair, set up in landscape side by side, both tilted inwards like now with their edges together

it's almost like i upgraded to 5 displays by rearranging them like this, now i can have two projects open in vertically split panes on each side as you see in the image

the speakers are probably better for acoustics this way too, with the tweeters at the top of each wider than the mid/bass

i've also rearranged and uncluttered the cables quite a lot doing this, the mini pc's tangle is mostly hidden behind the right monitor now, which is visually better

and yes, those monitors are a tiny bit precarious like that, on top of a smooth speaker cabinet... so i've zip-tied a jar full of water to the neck of the stand so they are more stable... i really should find actual metal weights to put there really

anyhow, no idea how i'm gonna like having two monitors like this in portrait, i've often thought of it and had monitors for some years now that can do it but never found it to be comfortable

been hankering to have a better monitor setup for some time now, but honestly i just want a wide 5k display, just one, about 32", OLED, 144hz, but it's the wrong time to be thinking about such things haha

regarding how the displays are configured to be arranged, the two at the top are sat right against each other and the bottom one in the middle between, like before, except with the two big ones rotated... having them actually arranged to reflect the physical layout puts huge invisible walls around the mouse movement, this is much easier, i can jump left to right at the top and down to the bottom smoothly without wondering where the cursor actually is haha

Fun fact: stablecoins don’t exist. There are only NGU coins (Bitcoin) and NGD coins (everything else).

Apparently the difference with Obscura is you use different VPN providers for the additional hop. So you don't have to trust Obscura or any single VPN.

"How is Obscura different from my VPN’s multihop?

Multihop VPNs claim they’re more secure because they direct your traffic through multiple servers. But the same provider still controls all of the servers, which means they can correlate your identity with your traffic.

In Obscura, we only control the first hop and use blind third-party relays for the exit hop. The result is that we can never correlate your identity with your traffic as we don’t even see your traffic in the first place!"

requirements to test? I've some free time for nerding

I could really use some dev help today testing my new Bitcoin API if anyone is feeling generous 🙏🙏

TECHNICALLY SPEAKING THE BRAZIL X BAN IS TRIVIAL TO CIRCUMVENT.

THAT IS MOSTLY IRRELEVANT.

WILL LIKELY STILL BE EFFECTIVE AT SILENCING BRAZILIANS WITH LARGE AUDIENCES. LARGE KNOWN X ACCOUNTS. THEY WILL RISK PUNISHMENT IF THEY POST.

NOSTR DOES NOT FIX THAT.

yeah (((they))) did nostr:note1kakp99sdktp6fkhn5cyghez9lrf4fpawe3ty090z0tt8yn4e7csqfg49n5
