You could go to cloaked wireless where you know for a fact that your numbers can't be ported away from you because the company employees have no access to be able to do sim swaps or port outs and you can pay in #Monero.
I made a #Nix package for #Cuprate

Hey guys, i could use some help.
I am trying to build #Cuprate: https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/ with the instructions found in https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/pull/728/changes/48ee1bb9ed2dc3a0d7b53f66bb48f6273c964a26
It builds fine, but when attempting to run it i get
```
[nix-shell:~/build/cuprate/cuprate/target/release]$ ./cuprated -h
./cuprated: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[nix-shell:~/build/cuprate/cuprate/target/release]$
```
#NixOS
ah, okay. that would do it.
#NixOS

thanks for the great work
Today I finally stopped being lazy and upgraded my server from Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS to 26.04 LTS. #Linux
if you are on a device with Google spy services this is a strong possibility
my next phone will be running #NuraEco (formerly #PostMarketOS) based on Alpine Linux for exactly this reason. i think it should cost ~2 #Monero
actual:
Oct 14, 2025: 15.39 mXMR
Oct 23, 2026: 11.57 mXMR
YoY -24.6%

take the SMA of the tx count over alonger timeframe and it becomes fairly reliable
i will drink to staying boring 🍻
And paying for the privilege, lol.
ah, yeah fair enough. Since I only use the laptop occasionally, I don't find myself needing very many things that aren't already available in a stable package or whatever. It is definitely good to know that I can do it if I need to though.
That's precisely my thought. Keeping software up to date is a great thing, but I also need a good level of stability. And so, having the easy update rollback is a fantastic thing.
I used to play with like the Ubuntu beta versions, but I would always play with them inside of virtual machines while leaving my hardware on something that was stable.
And I play with beta software on my phone all the time, but that's at the application level, not the operating system level.
I've never really considered using Arch, mainly because of the fact that my phone is my primary computing device, and my laptop comes in a pretty distant second.
So I really need my laptop to just work for the few times that I do pick it up, and Arch is not really conducive to that.
Until I recently installed NixOS, I was on LMDE 7.
Yeah, that's something I do not want to do. I do not want to start importing unstable software. I see no problem with new, but I do not want to go as far as Bleeding Edge.
I have been using #Linux since 2011 and have never been on the latest Linux kernel at the time. As an example #NixOS 26.05 came with 6.18.x family while the newest stable is the 7.3 family. I made a one-line change to my configuration file, and now I am on the latest stable kernel, and will continue tracking the latest stable kernel.
The 6.18 family was originally released in, like, late 2025, and while I've been getting point releases, like, 6.18.56 released October 11th, that's still not the newest kernel family, obviously.
got #RetoSwap running on my new #NixOS install. thanks for the nudge @npub14w4…3rwx
I did give Nix a shot at one point, although I really think I ought to do so again.
At the time, I don't think I was totally prepared for using NixOS, but now I think I might have a better shot at it.
Its probably worth adding. Note people not wanting to draw attention to them selves than bitcoin.
i put Proof of Work on my notes not because the relays I use demand it, but because I know storage and transmitting bits aint free. even a small PoW shows that I would be ready if a relay said "I will cut down on the spam I host by requiring Pow"
Congratulations, I killed mine back in 2019 and haven't missed it since.
But, but, but, #Monero doesn't have a fixed block size, so a normal person can't run a node. They have to all be hosted in data centers, or at least that's what a certain coin maxi told me.
but SuperTestNet said we should all sell our #Monero because lightning was perfectly private... are you telling me a bitcoin maxi didnt know what they were on about? shocked! /s
What incredibly wise advice. And how sad that it has to be pointed out in such a way.
#nevent1q…l999
Thank you. This has been super helpful.
A lot of wallets don't have Tor built in even though they can access Tor over like a SOCKS proxy, or in my case, using the VPN.
now I get it. i have to use a server for my personal watcher realy.
what advantge has the personel watcher? if I use my npub whitch realy should I add?
I think I've come to a tentative conclusion about what's causing the problem, and I think that it might be TorVPN. To test that, I am trying out invizible in VPN mode to see if it stops happening. I was also having web browsing issues where sometimes I would get unable to connect messages like the website wasn't reachable, and I thought that it was because they saw that I was coming from a Tor exit node and refused to respond or something like that, but perhaps it was actually telling the truth, and something with TorVPN may have actually been the problem.
I had never used invizible as a whole device VPN before, so I thought it was normal and it turns out it may not be.
What the actual fuck?
Syncing #Monfluo to #tor nodes did a partial sync, then totally stopped pulling data before the sync was done. Changing to a different tor node did not restart the sync. However, changing to a clearnet node did.
#Monero
5 days off and we have a new monero client. Nice😎
yo, #MeshCore-Open just got a pretty sweet update that add their own online map because before, the only app map was in the proprietary app and open source apps weren't allowed to use it. I have asked specifically if other open source MeshCore apps like MeshCore 1 (MC1) and Meshy are going to be allowed to contribute to it.
I suspect the answer is probably yes, but haven't gotten an answer as of yet.

not bad at all. now the monostr relay can be set to require 8 bit pow to relay
#nevent1q…3vlj
That requires Bitcoin, which I don't have and don't want.
Only if it's also priced directly in Monero.
I wish I could say the same, but every time I've tried I2P, I have come away incredibly disappointed. And this was after several times, over like a year time span of trying it.
My main use case is that I want to synchronize my Monero wallet with my Monero node, and on Tor, I get 5 MBPS. On I2P, I get 40 KBPS.
I could possibly shorten my I2P tunnels to one-hop tunnels, but then that completely kills the privacy of using I2P, which I don't want to do. Especially not when I can get 5 Mbps through Tor, where I've got the six hops between the client and the server.
I can't go anywhere further from 6th gen consoles
