I understand the nutshell wallet has built-in TOR, but does the mint?
Not to be accessed over TOR necessarily, but to connect to the Lightning backend. Show-stopper for those on nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnfdenx7tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7qpq26ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns88n2rp nodes unfortunately. Does it have SOCKS option? Looking through the .env options it seems only the wallet has this.
Personally, good.

I come back to Nostr after some time, and I see people shilling Signal as an alternative to other platforms.
Nevermind the fact it's still centralised and people are at the mercy of a Big Corp, just like most of the platforms initially ran away from.
Matrix is THE best current alternative, using an optionally federated approach. The new IRC.
Album Art can say as much as a meme.
Will be posting some from my collection.
This is a 2-disc album by Heaven Shall Burn, titled Of Truth (Disc 1) & Sacrifice (Disk 2).
This video, KEEPS..... GETTING... WORSE, as it goes.
And people believed him*
Forgot that bit.
I think every decent person wants Ross to be free, but to actually believe a politician would do it, on day 1 no less, is naive.
Even from a math PoV, probabilities were it all pointed to this very scenario. Politicians tell many lies to get to a position of power, why would this be any different?
Only thing left to do is pressure, and kill heroes.
Took you long enough 🙂
I sent two #Nostr links to a friend.
Their response was
"Holy massive wall of links Batman!"
Paying tax on your Bitcoin is the most degenerate thing one can do.
Consistently seeking permission from your masters.
You deserve nothing.
You will own nothing.
You will be happy.
Wow, finished checking out #Umbrel #node after a few years.
Surprised to see how garbage it still is compared to other plug&play node stacks.
Dojo server is years out of date. That's right 🤢
Can't use LNbits with Core-Lightning.
In fact, pretty much no service at all can be used with Core-Lightning. 🤮
Many services are severely out of date. 😫
Umbrel is very likely putting its users into risk, and these are the sort of practices that made me leave it in the first place. Hugely disappointing, but at least the second chance was given. 😵💫
The UI is pretty and all, but functionally I can't even say it gives you is the bare minimum at this point... When you stack it against the competition, the bar is much, much higher than this.
A Russian friend recently got banned from Discord.
Good thing I had onboarded them onto our Matrix server.
Until Nostr is ready for such a demographic, It's the only way forward.
They can get back to business as usual:
- VoiP with friends.
- Screensharing while gaming.
- Able to engage with the wider internet by way of Matrix Spaces.
- Sharing gaming guides.
- Engage in gaming threads.
Anyone still using Discord is enabling censorship and loss of freedom of information.
😬
Worth mentioning - Matrix also allows for bridging with Telegram, Discord, Whatsapp, Signal etc Interoperability can greatly aid in trasitioning users from proprietary messaging to open messaging.
Matrix 2.0 is a game-changer for the #Matrix eco-system.
It works.
It's fast.
It's secure (with refinements being made).
It's featureful - Now with native 1:1 and Group #VoiP (No more Jitsi).
The new auth service also supports upstream OpenID providers making authentication a breeze for new users - Perhaps #nostr could integrate somehow..
In the clip below, would be way faster on first login due to no device to verify and nothing to sync.
Disclaimer: Zero effort was put into editing this quick clip.
Path Of Exile 2 #POE is GOOD. It's already set the bar, but I suspect it'll do it again for the F2P market when it fully releases next year.
Lastly, runs OOTB on both Linux and Steam Deck. No tweaks, no issues - It just works.
Can recommend for ARPG fans.

If you're not constantly on the road, and have a house with an internet connection, you have no excuse.

Over the years, Bitcoin has proved itself as an opportunity.
An opportunity to take back control and with that, financial responsibility.
If you hold Bitcoin, if you hold sats, you have a due diligence to YOUR sats, to keep custody OF YOUR sats. Otherwise they aren't yours. That's a fiat mindset - Borrowing/Using money that's not yours.
This is why there's been a massive push for self-custody lightning, and most recently with Alby's excellent decision to sunset their some of their custodial services in favor of #albyhub. I've been outspoken against Alby's custody services in the past, not from a user experience PoV but because in the long-term it was prone to bring issues, and bring issues it did, bring issues it shall.
One of Bitcoin's strength is in decentralizing money. Custodial services centralise money and identities. Take of that what you will.
Look after your sats, or you've already lost them.
From a networking perspevtibe this is very true, and aids confusion - The way I see protocols wrapped in protocols, ecash is a layer 3 regardless of its properties in relation to whichever protocols its wrapped under, i.e, as a Bitcoiner it matters whether I can trustlessly settle back on-chain, but from a networking and protocol perspective it's the relation between the protocols and how they intertwine that matters, i.e How can two languages interact for the same purpose, how does one carry the other.
Haven't had Arch break for me for 4 years now (last time I did a clean install).
Usually it'll only break if you do something to break it.
Also, Arch wiki is one of the best resources to keep at hand for anything Linux (many times relevant for other distros too).
