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 @Technical Debt

hey @monostr why am I getting this note is unavailable? I've seen this several times already.

I am very interested in GNOME OS. I have been a GNOME user for years and them making their own reference distro is interesting to me. I'm also very interested in immutable Linux systems, as while it makes it harder to edit the base, it also makes things more stable, and I have ended up in dependency hell enough times to really appreciate that. #Linux

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"

What incredibly wise advice. And how sad that it has to be pointed out in such a way. View quoted note →

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

Sometimes you just get unlucky and end up with a god-awful #tor circuit.

not bad at all. now the monostr relay can be set to require 8 bit pow to relay View quoted note →

#Monostr is the first #Nostr client I have used that has NIP-13 PoW. Pretty cool exxwpt for tge fact you can turn it off.

From woodser: #Haveno v1.9.0 is tagged! 🎉 This version brings a major refresh of the user interface, plus many fixes and security improvements from community review, including findings from Kevlar and AI-assisted audits. Highlights: • A new startup wizard to choose your currency and Monero node, or import a wallet from its seed phrase • 24 new payment methods, including M-Pesa, Mercado Pago, GCash, BLIK, Wero, Pago Móvil, and Vipps MobilePay • All payment methods are now supported over the API for mobile access • The command line client is restored, and basic screen reader support is added • Monero is updated to v0.18.5.3 and Tor to v0.4.9.13 There is also an experimental native wallet mode, which runs wallets inside Haveno instead of through monero-wallet-rpc, so it's faster and lighter. Enable it under Settings > Preferences > "Use native wallet (experimental)". Please share feedback, since it could become the default in the future. This update is not mandatory, but it is recommended for all users. Arbitrators must update before users. Please back up your application directory before updating. Full release notes and the complete list of added payment methods:

Guessing #RetoSwap in <= 1 week. #Monero

Why on earth do people talk about biting your tongue? That shit fucking hurts. Chew, chew, chew, *bites tongue* FUCK!!!

Just joined the #Monero room on #Armada. I will say I was very happy to be given the option to open with my external signer application so that I could use Amber. And it did work, but it wasn't easy. The first time it didn't work, and I had to redo it.
