Hey @Dimi, you still sell hardware, yeah? I might be looking for some sticks of DDR4 (ECC, 2667MHz). Used is fine (kinda preferred to save money, honestly). 4x16 and 2x32. Possibly more if the price is right, but probably just adding 128GB will be enough. I want to support people like you, selling things on Nostr for bitcoin. I have my own hosting, but I'd be happy for you to be my hardware supplier. 😎

Trump: I couldn't manage to build a wall, but I'm going to make America great again this time around, I swear! China: we built a wall you can see from space over thousand of years ago. You might want to level up your game. Just sayin'

Built a row cover frame and a trellis. Both should last 10+ years with little to no maintenance. Feels good. Really good

has inspired me. I'm a day late, but I'm here and trying to make up for my lack or previous donations. First up: Debian. Turns out they are the ultimate form of #OpenSource. They want you to contribute effort, not money. Next up: Qubes. They get 14% more money when donations come in via bitcoin. No need to make Visa/Mastercard/PayPal rich! Glad to donate using decentralized money that is pushing green energy forward. Libreoffice accepts PayPal and credit cards. I'm happy to report that they accept donations over Tor! Thunderbird takes the same plus Google and Apple pay, and maybe a bank transfer? Couldn't donate over a mobile browser, but it worked from my desktop (and yes, over Tor) Situation is similar with KiCAD and FreeCAD: looks like the best option is to use a credit card using Stripe. It worked okay for KiCAD but said the card was declined for FreeCAD. I guess I don't have permission from Stripe or Visa or my financial institution to donate "my" money to FreeCAD. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ I guess I'll try again next month. Anyway, that's the report for this month.

If a protocol doesn't protect your identity (e.g. including IP address), and someone can go shake down people who post things they don't like, is it really censorship resistant? πŸ€”

I'm curious to know how strong people make their passwords these days. What's typical for you? I'll go first. For important things, it's 20+ characters and if that's not possible, then the maximum supported length. This includes passwords that I memorize. For just the standard accounts, usually 12 characters. But I'm probably going to crank that up just for funsies. It's just annoying to type in 32 characters of complete line noise in those rare circumstances where I have to do so for some reasons. #cybersecurity #security #infosec

I just wrote an ansible role to install and configure LNbits with just a single command. It hasn't been through code review yet, but it worked on my test environment. You can use the nginx.nginx, geerlingguy.certbot, and nginx.nginx_config roles to get TLS certs from LetsEncrypt. I've tested that as well.
