My view (not an expert) is, 'don't let perfect become the enemy of progress'.
If you are now, or think you are likely to be in real danger then this does NOT apply to you. You need to look at something like cash exchange in a public space (but take steps to maintain your anonimty) or I've also heard of pple using amazon gift cards to obscure then linknfrom you fiat to btc)
TL;DR
using a non custdial P2P, which doesn't ask for ID, is alrleady moving the needle a long way in the right direction for your privacy. Don't sweat about which fiat to use, unless you're a human rights activist in danger or someone with a target on their back (in which case, I'm not qualified to advise you, but tools exist to help - if you have time, try lookng here https://my.cracktheorange.com/).
extended ramblings...
For everyone else, the point is to make it much harder for governments (& criminals) to track what we do with our money, particularly how much fiat we convert into hard money. Sure, they could look at my bank statements, and try to identify which transfers are to peers in (allegedly) exchange for btc. They'd have to go through these (receiving fiat bank) accounts, one by one. High volume P2P vendors will probably be known but, as time goes on, & if more peers use P2P to exchange into/out of btc, this becomes harder for agencies to work through. If you do something to justify the effort to analyse all you fiat TXs, then they will do that. BUT this is very different from being able to effortlessly inspect every spend and receive in your fiat account, and use algorithms to categorise us by whatever metrics they consider relevant for control and supervision of 'the peasants' (us).
So use whatever fiat is easy for you, and for which you can find a peer to match your exchange need (buy/sell). With challenger banks (e.g. Revolut) it's easy to switch fiat into whichever flavour of weak money you need to complete the exchange. Buy 'little' (below your banks 'fraud protection' threshold, you can find this out by trial and error - start with say < $200 - 300 & see if they call to ask 'Are you sure?', or askNostr) & often.
It's like how inoculation against polio / measles etc works, we're building up resistance of the herd until it's not practical to mass-surveil.
Hope that helps.
I agree with you 100%.
But, thank you for sharing the link. I entered this because of the desire to learn about technology and help others with what I know. I don't like people who monetize their teachings from scratch. I agree with people who share teachings, you can make zaps or other voluntary payments for their quality of teaching.
#LinuxMint is the friendliest, you already have all the basic applications installed.
For any other questions, do not hesitate to ask. Welcome to the free world.

That's really how I think it's configured, can someone make me a little zap to test it?
I'll give it back to you

1. You have to go to Wallet of Satoshi, Send. Copy the duration similar to email ....@walletofsatoshi.com. You have to paste that address in your #Nostr user settings

I love the summary.
Just one thing, on #NodeSystem: do we have to discard #RoninDojo already? Do we have to rely on another node system?
Okay, how to avoid it?
What solutions can there be?
I can think of a solution for the use of data: use a router with SIM or E-SIM and connect a clean phone via Wi-Fi. What do you think?
Una solución puede esta , es algo que no se practica suficiente:
1. Grava tus semillas en formato metálico.
2. Guarda bien tus semillas y una segunda copia en otro lugar geográfico.
Yesterday they asked to evict all the volunteers and those affected at 4:00 p.m. so that the army could enter and clear and clean the area where the politicians were going to be.
The rest of the streets, houses, etc. are full of mud, cars and lifeless people.
This is the type of people who govern in Spain.

Testing:
#LinuxMint 21.2 installed based on #Ubuntu 22.04, or earlier, you cannot run #Nostr Desktop #Gossip 0.12 AppImage, it does not have the latest update libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38
If you have #LinuxMint 20.3 installed based on #Ubuntu 20.04, or earlier, you cannot run #Nostr Desktop #Gossip 0.12 AppImage, it does not have the latest update libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38
#Lume, yes it is for Windows and MacOS.

Se ha creado un mapa para que la gente pueda poner su ubicación y la ayuda que necesita. Hay que dar difusión para que la gente pueda decir qué necesita en concreto y dónde, para hacerlo todo mucho más eficiente. Sólo hay que acceder a https://ayudaterreta.com/ y añadir la ubicación y lo que necesitas.
#Lume is not for Windows and MacOS. For our dear #linux we have #gossip. I've tried it with the Appimage but I haven't managed to make it work. I've looked for information on how to make it run but I haven't found anything. Remember with the downloaded files: Don't trust verify.
Great. There are many installation manuals, but there are no good private and security practices.
Thanks a lot
