I try to avoid posting from this profile. npub1h00dlum44jnxdjeqms0d9s0l0n0lslv84mcw5420qpu277d8y4mqpv0cnf <-- my main profile

How do you protect the cardboard from moisture? A lidless plastic storage box wrapped in jute fabric or similar might work even better. Filled with plastic waste like you say.

He did? (become a shitcoiner) I've been wondering what happened to him. He seemed to get it on a very deep level and was even able to put into words the economic future he pictured. Streaming sats and all that. But then completely disappeared from my radar.

Two weeks ago I asked for alternatives to Little Snitch on Linux and Android:

nostr:nevent1qqsqcuvclgekv70rqye5g30xtajklpqemfeq34yldj05p9yh77ghasqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzqstv5xf654zghrx2ruykg2q8wewvpm3fjcyljuklqc2vlw829u43qvzqqqqqqywxtgtm

I didn't get any replies, so I went out to search myself. Here's what I found:

Linux:

- opensnitch

Very similar to Little Snitch. To run on NixOS, add services.opensnitch.enable = true; and add opensnitch-ui to your packages

Homepage: https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch

- Portmaster

Open source, looks more advanced than LS, offer paid plan. Haven't tried yet since it's not available in nixpkgs.

Homepage: https://safing.io

Android:

- NetGuard

Open source, simple - allows blocking WiFi/mobile/both networking for single apps. Acts like a virtual VPN. F-Droid available afaik.

Homepage: https://netguard.me/

- GlassWire:

Free, analyses your network usage per App. App firewall like NetGuard available in paid plan. Also available for Windows

Homepage: https://www.glasswire.com/

Trying both at the moment, unless you pay for GlassWire NetGuard makes sense I guess.

Bonus: Mac OS

- LuLu

Open Source alternative to Little Snitch. Available on homebrew. Haven't tried yet but this will land on my work mac next week.

I hope this may help if you're on the same quest :) Stop the snooping #asknostr

Kudos to you for reporting back. Chances are you introduced your followers to a useful open-source tool. This is how you Nostr.

May the taxation be with you

You'd think getting a fast SSD means fast reads/writes, but that's not the case if you have a usb bottleneck in there, like you do when running a node on a rpi with an external SSD drive. Internal drives are insanely faster and you really feel the difference in the initial block download. It's hours vs. weeks.

You will probably want to upgrade from a rpi to a pc shortly after trying things out with the rpi. So it doesn't really matter if it's a 2TB or a 4TB external drive. When you upgrade from a rpi to some old pc you need to get some internal drives anyway. Could just do it straight away. Umbrel on a pc is easier to manage anyway imo. That being said bigger is better. Bigger means less hassle in the future.

That plus the social layer on Nostr. Repositories on nostr:npub1h0rnetjp2qka44ayzyjcdh90gs3gzrtq4f94033heng6w34s0pzq2yfv0g relays, git for the version control, The Nostr for managing Issues & PRs.

GitNestr development is still going. There's a separate heya.fund goal for the alpha version.

Note for future massive bounties like this: these kinds of bounties should probably be split into smaller chunks for sustainability. Sats for milestones. That would probably encourage more FOSS contributions.

GitNestr will itself provide the platform for easier payouts for bounties eventually. I hope we'll get lots of FOSS contributions once we release the alpha.

Oh right, Geyser is on Nostr now too

That's why they're sent via DM and then you can grab your own nuts
