The closing the lid, not so much , the logging out bit I'm not so sure.

Yeah, but you need to go into the command line

Don't worry, Tether will fill it with shitcoin soon.

Bout the same as a tower PC. Maybe a laptop with the fan at high.

LFG

Really want to splurge on a start9. I just love saving money too much

"look everyone is using custodial lightning so we should embrace that" makes me feel sick. I always thought this was a temporary measure until we had better wallets, TIL the plan now is to embrace it fully for mass onboarding.

We're working with a few partners to try an alternative approach. If it fails then it fails, but at least I can sleep at night knowing we tried.

Mass onboarding into custody seems like a disaster without a really good non-custodial offboarding plan.

Makes sense. He’s obsessed with historical details and folklore. Keeps his horror movies original

All Robert Eggers movies are excellent. Guy’s a legend

Shitty morning, send memes plz

I think I'm a creature of the night. Can't escape it.

Studio Ghibli films will always be some of my favorites 🥹🤣🤣

Another day, another exchange I am suspended from.

All of my funds are conjoined or swapped between LN/XMR for privacy before sending to exchanges, triggering all sorts of nonsense AML flags.

The exchange I am with now is requesting proof of funds, meaning it wants to see fiat coming into my bank account from an entity I have a business relationship with, asking me to "kindly assist them" in surveilling me.

Except that all of my business relationships are handled in bitcoin – meaning that it is impossible for me to show proof of fiat funds.

Alternatively, the exchange says, I could send them “the address” to which I received payment in the last year, matching the amount of money I have exchanged on their platform.

Obviously no such address exists as I create a new address for each transaction (and so should you). Additionally, much of my money comes in through donations, for which I simply do not have an invoice.

I could now send them every single zap I ever received on nostr in the past year – for context, that would be over 250 zaps in the past week alone, s/o to all the zappers – or I could move my business to Switzerland, where I can exchange up to 1000 CHF per day KYC-free (for now), which is what I’m going to do.

However, since I’ll be more heavily relying on peer-to-peer exchanges from now on, I’ll likely have my bank account flagged for receiving weekly payments from randos on the internet, making it fairly foreseeable that I’ll be losing my bank account in the coming months as well.

Fundamental rights violations aside, the amount of complete nonsense work – and with that costs – this system creates both for the Government and private institutions is absolutely astonishing. If there ever was a true bullshit job, compliance officer would no doubt be it.

It’s time we end the global discrimination complex inherent to the financial system in which we are all guilty until proven innocent, only to upkeep an inefficient system that is useless in preventing crime but formidable for imposing mass surveillance on the people.

So no, I will not "kindly assist you" in surveilling me, and if I die on this hill.

Until then, shill me your favorite tools to pay my bills in bitcoin 👇

sigh i can never seem to have a hobby distinct from coding. the first thing I want to do with this electric guitar is build a realtime app that displays notes via the graphics card when I play them. could be the start of a rocksmith like ui which currently doesn't exist outside of that game apparently.

"It's doesn't work well with TOR." was his first thing. That's becoming increasingly false.

Maybe he's a shitcoiner and will be like, oh man I can't zap with muh privacy shitcoin.

Primal forces pulling from only 1 node at a time.. where nostr allows pulling from multiple nodes at a time — this is a fundamental fork of the nostr architecture that has gone undisputed up until this point.

The primal cache node is connected to multiple relays — but users can’t decide which relays. It’s hard-coded. This is fundamentally weak architecture.

I won’t be participating in Primal’s fork of nostr.
