On version 2.0.4 it assigns some old UUID, and since both my Mint computers had config file originally copied from the same old computer, their UUIDs are the same. This resulted in only one being able to connect with other devices at a time. <br/> <br/>Switching back to version 2.0.3 on at least one device fixed the issue because that version creates a different UUID. <br/> <br/>Weird, huh? 2026-06-09T22:14:16Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2zmvcj95uev7gq6n4mtypsf36ahkr4pnnvz0kf3w679ewepnd0qgzyp95qgz3jgj75quv9hxw3x4ss29p0d6y9cxllm98pq5t7dky7thkjcgj4hl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstxwq05pat00vw37nyvvjvf88kj2z8q76706xg32v9djx9sl4r9vguwnwy8'>nevent1q…nwy8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>it&#39;s the naturalizing these billionaires do that gets under my skin. they&#39;re pissing on our backs and telling us its raining. 2026-06-01T16:52:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0xmtrjpxjdpdx6nufmr48ydazqt7kdgueg2evq6qxpew5fgtjtxqzyp95qgz3jgj75quv9hxw3x4ss29p0d6y9cxllm98pq5t7dky7thkjyt0ckf I was reading <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1fdrpydz4n2dpgpy5xhsa6rjg8ytggn82mt0addw6sf93272nhhnqsjlvhs" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Cory Doctorow</span> (<span class="italic">npub1fdr…lvhs</span>)</a></span> &#39;s blog about fraudster vs. fraudster: <br/> <br/><a href="https://pluralistic.net/2026/05/25/lying-spies/#spying-liars">https://pluralistic.net/2026/05/25/lying-spies/#spying-liars</a> <br/> <br/>That part part regarding Cox and Trump&#39;s FTC made me think of a sorta exaggerated analogy: <br/> <br/>It&#39;s like if someone claimed the had weapons-grade plutonium for sale.
