I think a lot…

Buon 2025 a tutti! NAP e libertà!

You are not ready to read this, I know.

Three historical figures who fought against communism, history has sold them to you as the bad guys.

They obviously did bad things, but they have hidden all the bad things the victors did that were much worse.

All the communist deaths are whitewashed and there have been many more.

Now you can call me fascist and nazi, only I am not, unlike "normal" people, I read history and history is not black and white, it is not good and bad, be wary of any story that sells you this.

Study the fuck up, read, learn, don't let them fool you, form your own narrative not the bullshit they sell you in school.

All states are garbage, defend yourself and your own family.

#Bitcoin.

The #Linux laptop segment isn't really serving the low-end of the market. The absolute cheapest Tuxedo laptop I found is like 3.25 #Monero and Framework and System76 are even higher. I see no Linux laptops in the below 2XMR category. Because I don't need much computing power on my laptop and because I don't use a laptop super often I'm honestly looking for something in the 1-1.25XMR area but am limited to buying Windows and installing Linux myself.

Stop shitcoining. Use Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is too slow for you, use Lightning. If Lightning is too unreliable for you, use Ecash.

Just stop goddamnit. Nobody cares about your ridiculous shitcoin and you're wasting your precious life.

The more I actually try to use Bitcoin Lightning, the more I hate it. I just want to send and receive digital shekels. All of this shit about channels, inbound/outbound liquidity, etc is a pain in the ass and gets between me and what I want. The fact that channels can arbitrarily get closed, leaving money in limbo for days is even more shit.

AlbyHub closed a new channel I opened after 13 fucking minutes... now I need to fund another one if I want my wallet to work, but I can't the funds in AlbyHub because they're too few and stuck in closed channels anyway.

I have an embedded node Zeus wallet on a phone with enough sats to do the job, but oh no! The channel's stuck as Inactive, and even if it does activate properly, there's too many zombie channels so any attempt at payment times out and goes nowhere.

I won't pretend Monero hasn't given me headaches and borderline heart attacks in the past, but it's got nothing on this Lightning shit. When it works well it works well, but just one piece out of alignment and it all goes to shit. Lightning fucking sucks, and I'm not willing to pretend it doesn't.

Which is the best way to install a personal #xmr node with Ubuntu Server 24.04?

Should I install Tor before or after installing the #monero cli wallet?

I already have a #xmr node at my home but I’m old and don’t remember the path. 😓

Your problem is that you're using lightning. Use Monero and that wouldn't be an issue.

Lol

I'm always getting monero reply guys interrupting my fun. Don't you have anything better to do?

Every fucking time lol #XMR
