Cypherpunks write code. #monero #anarchocapitalism #floss #nixos #gnu #linux #emacs #typescript #nextjs

What awoke me from my dogmatic slumber was #bitcoin, but soon after I discovered #monero and realized it implements the ideas of p2p cash better.

This pushed me down a rabbit hole where I learned to code (first #python then #javascript and now #typescript) & I took my digital identity in my own hands with #selfhosting whatever service I use.

I love #nixos - tinkering with my machine has never been the same since.

How do you discover new nostr people to follow?

What are YOUR thoughts on manifestV3?

I wish bitcoin still embodied these values... But who would do silk road on bitcoin with chainalysis? Is bitcoin still permissionless with all the regulation on so called Crypto Asset Service Providers?

Right... So basically all the effort that went into creating a following on the corresponding npub is for naught.

The account can never be trusted again and is at constant risk of MITM attack

What if your nostr private key gets compromised, as in stolen?

Well... But it had a critical bug from sept 2022 till just now where an observer could basically deduce the true spender https://monero.observer/rucknium-discovers-critical-privacy-vulnerability-wownero-decoy-selection-algorithm/

So delicious, for the rest of us, to witness your dread. Poetic justice consumate.

You want democracy? Have at it. You want the wealthfare state? I won't stop you. You want total surveillance? Whatevs.

But I will not be sucked down the vortex with you. I abandon ship. It doesn't take genius what comes at the end of this road you travel - I won't follow this road with you.

Take it,

Change it,

Or leave it.

These are the options you always have.

In regards to Germany and the broader EU, I decided to leave it. There is nothing left for me here. A husk of former innovation and philosophy. The hollow oak tree depicted in atlas shrugged.

I must look elsewhere. Build my future in cyberspace. Declare sovereignty. Venture on my own path.

Live free or fucking die

Anyone running Linux on their M1 (or M2) Mac?

Here to share my journey.

https://asahilinux.org/ with Fedora is working really well, but got some annoyances due to the limited software available for aarch64.

The good things are:

- I learn to compile more things - looking at you Signal and Keybase

- Power efficiency and shared memory without the closed garden

- Fedora seems to be a very good distro (coming from Debian)

- Webcam, speakers, USBC ports just work

The (not so) bad so far:

- will think twice what software worth the hassle and no closed source stuff is available to build

- will need to master some emulators like qemu and Box86/Box64

- The built-in microphone hasn't been reverse-engineered yet

- Fingerprint sensor won't work

#linux #aarch64 #asahi

I know someone who rocks nixos on apple silicon. They have a lot of software packaged for arm. Look into it :)
