Reminds me of Slackware Live AKA SLAX and my days carrying a mini-CD with it wherever I went. Beautiful times.

Nostr solves this. You don't need to "create an account", you just generate a key pair. That is your account. On what relays you store your data is orthogonal to this. As long as an event is signed by your private key, it is

Stock photos. AI generated. There are options...

AI generated photos would probably look good enough for the book to be successful.

Unlike a safe, a hardware wallet doesn't store money, it stores private keys. These keys are derived from a seed phrase you are supposed to back up offline.

> If anything unlawful which you forward for Nostr is ever found on your computer That can only happen if you are running a Nostr relay. Nostr clients don't forward anything.

Exactly! While such research is cool, I think this has been long solved using HTTPS everywhere. You simply can't trust the router. Without HTTPS, all you need is a honeypot router that acts as a man-in-the-middle, which is not that har

Clients can add new features and users that use these clients will be able to use these new features. Relays are there just to store and forward the data.

Average users still don't understand Bitcoin, after 14 years. And yet, it is successful. > seems to be the same people that were convinced NFT's were going to be big that are backing it. No. It's quite the opposite.

I would guess, it really depends how far you go. Protection money for running a small mom&pop shop selling kebab or souvenirs for tourists is probably less than the protection money you pay for the same kinds of businesses to the govern

I didn't mean "investors". I meant local people. Average micro-business. I don't know Albania too well - I only spent a couple of weeks there, but I had a feeling it was bustling of small businesses. I have spent however

Old Apple laptops, like the 2012 mentioned, yes. Newer ones don't really last long anymore.

2012 MBP was indeed my final reliable Apple product. I "upgraded" away from it unfortunately (because jobs always paid for these things) which resulted in me throwing away at least 3 newer models, which simply stopped working. I&#

I don't see posts like this as "feedback for Apple", but as encouragement for people to look into alternatives. Sure, lots of people do indeed prefer Apple's laptop-as-a-service model, but others do not. It is this latte

It's probably easier to start a small business in Albania though than it is in the EU - mostly due to less regulation and, yes, also corruption - you need less money to bend the rules - and everybody can do that - not just those with p

Can't comment for all aspects of a Linux desktop versus an OpenBSD desktop, but one example that comes to mind is the sound system. Just try reading the design paper of sndio [1]. It is a pure joy to read. A beautiful architecture. N

Indeed! I am heating myself exclusively with wood every winter for 10 years now, since I moved to the countryside. Energy does literally grow on trees.
