Update:
Sam Bent is now here.
Not with fediverse bridges, but native nostr now. Let's show him some love,

Give me Liberty, or Give me Death. HydraVeil is our Revolutionary New Linux app that allows you to create different isolated profiles, to resist AI Browser Fingerprinting from Cloudflare & Big Tech. Another feature of HydraVeil is routing your traffic though your choice of WireGuard or a Tor->Socks5 proxy (to evade Tor blocks), and to fool CDN packet speed tracing with different IPs for each profile.
Additionally, we provide VPN service for Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, and Routers. Tune in to our Podcast to combat Big Tech surveillance. Help me, help you.

I Made a Great SSH Tutorial Guide
Most of the guides don't cover the reasons why, so the concepts seem foreign and therefore harder. They also leave out critical security steps.
This guide covers:
-Why SSH keys
-How to generate a key & use it
-How to create users with correct access
-How to disable root & passwords
-How to Change the Port
It's a great reference for anyone new to using Linux for a VPS,

RetoSwap, an illegal darkweb market, openly posts on Twitter about doing 63 million in trade volume,
While Bisq, the Bitcoin software they originally adapted it from, is here on Nostr..
As Qubic attacks Monero, I think the Monero community should reassess their sole reliance on tyrannical spyware Big Tech. Obviously, everyone knows about the privacy and censorship aspects, but the thing they are missing here is the algorithm's ability to mold society.
You see, Qubic is primarily relying on propaganda and attention to sway miners away from the herd, to pledge alliance to his ponzi scheme coin. As he has no means to directly contact them through the Monero protocol itself, and so giving him attention is exactly what he craves.
Qubic is only able to spread this content so effectively, because of the Monero community's blind allegiance to platforms like Twitter, which are literally working against them.
On the other hand, Nostr has the "web of trust", to handle outsider spam, random bot accounts, and see who vouches for content. So on Nostr, Qubic wouldn't be able to easily bribe outsiders to repost, because those outsiders wouldn’t have the same influence to even be seen among the Monero pack. Also, there is no algorithmic feed, to promote things heavily against the community’s organic desires.
Further, it's clear Qubic is state funded, and in fact his cryptocurrency openly admits to investments from the WEF, EU commission, and other intergovernmental organizations. And so, his attack should not just be a wake-up call for smaller chains with Proof of Work, it should be a wake-up call for how we interact and structure our communities

If you're in a situation where you have to lie, then try to talk as much as possible with lots of useless details.
The goal is to overwhelm the listener with useless boring information, that they want to stop asking you questions.
Do you like Sam Bent?
"DoingFedTime" is a security, privacy, opsec, libertarian, and tech influencer. And he just gave me a shoutout on Twitter.
If you want to see Sam Bent come on Nostr, reply to this post, and I will send it to him. Remember, saying "yo we got community" sounds better if it's not just me.

I wish I had known this sooner.
If you work hard enough to achieve your dreams, you will eventually face conflict with the people closest around you, who met you under different conditions. As listening to your newest trials, tribulations, challenges, and ideas will wear them out, usually for no monetary reward.
Under this situation, the person(s) close to you may find it easier to speak quick words of pessimism about your idea or vision, as means of not having it consume their time, while still protecting the friendship. In other words, they love you, but not your idea. And would rather keep you around, by letting it die.
When you face this situation, the best course of action is to acknowledge that your idea is taxing the relationship and their time, and to treat their pessimism as purely their survival mechanism.
The wrong way to face a close ally's criticism, is to treat their pessimism as the authoritative judgment of your idea. Because you're not really asking them to effortlessly buy it as your fresh target audience. This whole time you've been asking them to invest their time (for free) in a vision that you have not yet brought into this world for them to see.
Take a step back, and let the relationship return to the conditions under which it originally developed, and you'll be surprised when one day, they come around. But remember, they’ll never do so, until it’s clear that your idea no longer needs them.
Just got a new batch of Pixel 9a in
Brand new, 10/10, no battery cycles.
We're lowering the previous price from $520, to now $435.
Please PLEASE stop using KYC SIM cards, iPhone, or stock android. You are harming the people you talk to.
Propaganda Lock
It's a condition where the person refuses to intake new or conflicting information on a given subject, because they have heard so much from the other side.
We all know propaganda lock exists for politics. In fact, it's the norm of political life.
But for technology it's dangerous. It's literally the blind allegiance to a given software, developer, or service, with the refusal to even consider counter-points of how they directly harm you.
Even worse, Google SEO dictates which articles and videos will be shown as "the experts" in networking, browsers, and resisting the NSA.
But if you are willing to venture outside the algorithm's box, you'll see there's a whole new world on the other side… https://HydraVeil.net
Social media popularity can be deceiving
The question is, what are you asking of the audience
In my case, I'm asking them to first change operating systems to Linux, then get cryptocurrency, and finally install, use, and pay for a revolutionary new way of using the internet. Which defies existing propaganda, where our competitors abuse the end-user for quick profit. And because we are shining a light on the huge problems with other browsers and VPNs, we are suppressed from mainstream tech influencers.
In your case, you're asking them to like a jpeg meme, that you didn't even make.
With this in mind, you might want to reconsider scrolling past my articles (and staying glued in the tyranny tech). I swear to you, if you scroll through this list of articles, you will find something on a subject interesting to you regarding privacy, and learn (even if you don't even use Linux yet)

Me:
Look this is a list of non-KYC VPS hosts linked below
Nostr User:
YES! YES! That's awesome!
Me:
But, keep in mind that both the EU and US have had proposed laws to force KYC in the future, that thankfully failed to pass so far, but someday they could. And emerging market hosts are less reliable for uptime/speed (asia, south america, & africa).
Nostr User:
What should we do?
Me:
Check out Arweave, it's a protocol that has no-KYC static file hosting, a CDN, domain system, and binding smart contracts.
Nostr User:
It's a shitcoin! Ugh I hate shitcoins!
Me:
Well, it's more like a decentralized stock, since the protocol earns revenue from hosting, that's locked into a pool to payout to the providers.
Nostr User:
Well I'm concerned that people will do payments in Arweave, instead of Bitcoin Lightning
Me:
That's unlikely, because Lightning is private and a commodity. While as Arweave coins are uniquely tied to the files you upload. So if you have a website, you wouldn't want everyone to see every non-website transaction you make.
Nostr User:
Well how does it work?
Me:

Linux surpasses over 6% of the desktop market!!!
Article from ZdNet cites these reasons:
--USA AI devs
--European businesses shifting
--European entrepreneurs shifting
Of course, they left out HydraVeil's kickass beta launch, but that's because my users keep a low radar to avoid being part of "unique visitor" statistics.

Donald Trump has national guard soldiers helping to stop homelessness in DC.
In my personal subjective view, this a very dangerous situation, as using any military for local law enforcement turns the average person into an enemy combatant. Militarized police are a stepping stone to government authoritarianism and over-reach of power.
I am NOT opposed to using the guard in actual crisis situations, such as the previous riots in LA.
I am NOT saying that homelessness is not a serious problem, or being handled by Democrats wrong.
I AM saying this is not the appropriate use of Trump's power. And homeless people sleeping in public is not the same type of violent crisis that the previous LA riots were.
Start the debate with food.
You say to them,
"Don't you agree that processed sugary foods are bad for you, but yet they are very popular among society, and in fact the norm?"
The person reluctantly agrees. Then:
"So these processed food manufacturers are willing to harm the majority of the population, and even though it's bad for them, the vast majority of consumers eat it. Now this same premise is how most aspects of our lives work.
It's true for Fiat Money vs Cryptocurrency
It's true for Social Media vs Nostr
It's true for Keynes vs Hayek
It's true for Windows/Mac vs Linux
It's true for WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord vs Signal/XMPP/others
It's true for iPhone/Stock vs Degoogled Android
It's true for Tor/Mullvad Browser vs HydraVeil
The majority is usually wrong, against their own interests. And society's gatekeeper "influencers" go along with it, because they profit from the groups that seized power.
I'm not saying blindly follow my words. I'm begging you to not blindly follow the words of my enemy, and evaluate for yourself.
