This is one of the US political instruments, and not part of the society. Money existed for like 4,000 years before KYC/AML, and the society was just fine in regards to money.

Fortunately crypto exists. Fortunately, it is perfectly usable in real world while avoiding most of the KYC/AML crap.

Thankfully it doesn't matter because this happens on a blockchain so banks can go pound sand with their restriction and KYC/AML horseshit. Given that this is Coinbase sponsored I'm not sure this will be even available to the

Given that this protocol is Coinbase sponsored, you can be sure that the whole KYC/AML bullshit is going to be applied to every transaction. Want to read a paid message? Please upload your recent utility bill and confirm your identity

Except sometimes it works in the other direction. Quite a few of my friends while sheltering from russian bombs in Kharkov still cheered russian efforts to annex Ukraine.

This project does exactly the opposite of what the GP was talking about. We need to selfhost to be independent of Cloudflare, not dive even deeper into it. cloudflared exists to embrace and extinguish and absolutely fuck that and everythi

Do I get it right that translated from marketingspeak it means "log viewer with backend"?

I was in college when you were born. And managed thousands of pre-systemd instances including a vast zoo of unixes which were long gone by the time systemd ate the world. You're wrong.

See, that's the point. Some problems do not exist and do not require coding. cron worked just fine for decades until systemd crowd decided to "get coding".

At this point we're not talking about distros w/o systemd as there are none left speaking from a practical perspective. We should be discussing management of the metastases, because systemd people still exist and they still want a
