Finally figured #AlbyHub and #AlbyGo out. Now I can #zap, and I can receive zaps too! In comparison with Telegram which takes 15% fee on transaction of stars, #Nostr with sats looks much better.

⚡Just made my first #zap!

I set up an #albyhub node, but to open my first lightning channel I asked to send... Lightning! How can I do it if I obviously have no lightning yet?! Also I see only one way to buy BTC in the AlbyHub, which is not working in my case. Ok, I see a little button in a distant corner "Node/advanced/Deposit Bitcoin". Is it safe to recieve btc with it (from my btc wallet), if I have no open channels yet? nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcprdmhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vfwde3x7tnpdenkzmnf9e3k75xqss4 nostr:nprofile1qqsrpykr62ymnmfvtka4elvmwv5pxps5luqpww87q48swqeetmnupucpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qd80d8w #alby #asknostr

1. How #cashu prevents double-spending, when offline? 2. Alice has a mint, and when she pays Bob, he gets nuts issued by Alice's mint, right? What if Alice's mint gets down, how Bob can get BTC then? nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgkwaehxw309a5xjum59ehx7um5wghxcctwvshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qrxnfk

A way towards to a #decentralized, community-driven #VPN service inspired by #nostr. Currently functional on Linux, Mac, Android, and likely Windows with #xray servers and clients. With #VLESSmixer the first server knows the user's IP address but not the destination websites, while the second server knows the destination websites but not the user's IP address. https://git.sr.ht/~atom4peace/vless-mixer/tree/master/item/Readme.md

#VLESSmixer #anonymity Suppose one has two #vpn (vless-reality proxy servers) but doesn't trust them. Vless-mixer does this: `Browser -> Server1 -> Server2 -> Web` The first server sees the user's IP address but does not know which websites the user is visiting. The second server sees the websites but only sees the first server's IP address as the client. How to Use (Linux) 1. Install `dhall-to-json`: This should be available in your repository. 2. Download the `vless-mixer` project: Choose the latest commit and download the `.tar.gz` file. 3. Create Configuration Files: Create `server1.dhall` and `server2.dhall` files similar to `server-example.dhall` from the VLESS links for different servers. 4. Generate JSON Configuration: ```dhall-to-json --explain --file config.dhall > config.json``` 5. Start Xray: ```xray -c config.json``` Connect to the SOCKS proxy at `127.0.0.1:1080` https://git.sr.ht/~atom4peace/vless-mixer/tree

Do you use VPN, proxy or Tor? #asknostr

Today I boil over because of #bash. Why`int` is not infinite in length, like Integer in #Haskell? Why`xxd` does not hex dump in one line without spaces and line breaks, and one have to write`xxd -p -c 9999` ? Why I expected such behavior from them, I wonder myself.

A year ago, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was murdered. He was killed in a prison in the Arctic Circle. A year later, no one has investigated his murder because everyone knows who wanted him dead the most. #Putin #Navalny #Russia #censorship

You know, #Apple has blocked a lot of #VPN and media apps in App Store in #Russia. Obviously, it's not ok. What Big Tech should do in dictatorships? Leaders of Russian opposition Vladimir Kara-Murza, Yulia Navalnaya and Ilya Yashin answers: 1: Put human rights first. Dictators’ “laws” are not legitimate under international standards. 2: Focus on real-world outcomes. Companies must consider the practical consequences of their actions on users and aim to protect them. Data-localization laws exist in many democracies to protect user data, but dictatorships use similar laws to target dissidents and fuel repression. 3: Establish mechanisms for dialogue with civil society. To understand how a law might harm users, tech companies should consult with users and their representatives. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/02/03/kara-murza-navalnaya-yashin-dictators-tech/ #censorship #socialmedia
