Google closing down its services to "Certified Android" devices only Not long now...

Close... Correction: You don't have to use Micro$oft 365. View quoted note →

Finally migrated my infrastructure to a new connection manager. Highly, highly recommend xpipe.io. In a couple clicks it can trace your infrastructure a bare-metal host, virtualised environment with VMs and LXCs, down to the docker or kubernetes containers. Along with syncing everything encrypted to my private gitea repo, this is a killer solution as far as connection managers go!

#Portainer or #Komodo?

Portainer.io - Enterprise Kubernetes & Docker Container Management Platform

Operational control for Kubernetes, Docker & Podman without specialist overhead. Govern multi-cluster infrastructure or deploy OT software at scale.

Home | Komodo

Build and deployment system

I'm currently using Portainer but strongly considering a full migration of my 6 prod servers to Komodo.

We're winning so hard /s

@Zapstore Assuming you're the uploaders of the Element X app on the Zapstore as it's signed by yourselves, unsure if you're aware but there's been a security disclosure today as announced a month ago:

Element Blog

Coordinated Matrix security update

A new coordinated security fix for all Matrix server implementations is now published as part of the Matrix 1.16 off‑cycle spec update.

The latest release (3 days ago) is supported to deal with the security issue, and would be great if it was made available on the store as soon as possible. Much appreciated!

Everyone that's been trading their fiat in for Bitcoin using CEXs and KYC, is about to get a rude awakening. Back in 2014 when KYC started becoming more common, we knew it was a bad idea. Enter the 2018s, 2019s and y'all became complacent - Looking at NGU after the block size wars, you thought we won. And well, we did, just maybe not you so much. They KNOW you OWN Bitcoin, in some way, shape or form. And knowledge is power. They will hold that over you, unless you (try to) run. They will use it against you, unless you (try to) run. They will demand tax on your unrealized gains. They will come for you. You'll argue you don't hold any, lost it in a boating accident, and they'll say "prove it". You're in their territory. Bitcoin is GFY money, when you MAKE IT your territory by *fully* opting out. It was never about partial opt-out. Maybe you missed the memo. There is no compromise to be made here. There never was. It was just a simple choice. To opt out, or not.

With the recent drama in financial censorship in videogame stores, makes me think Nostr could work for this. PoW-powered videogame store. A game is given its own nsec/npub identity. Developers upload the game using PoW. Review system is also PoW-based. PoW and sats (limited extent on the latter) influence the score of a game. Any game above a certain threshold is made part of a discovery/indexation system that puts these front and center. Slop titles are pushed down as users mark it as such. Good titles become more and more discoverable.

@EVAN KALOUDIS How well do you think LNDHub will be supported into the foreseeable future by Zeus? I'm asking because it seems like it's the only way I can connect Zeus to my LNbits wallet (NWC is a no go apparently), but LNDHub seems like it's only supported by Zeus and BlueWallet and never really took off. So I guess my other question is, aside from LNDHub/NWC, are there any other options on the horizon? Or does this become a LNbits limitation instead?

Has anyone been able to get a Start9 powered node to run NWC via LNbits? Every time I connect a wallet, it works until I try to make a payment - Besides it timing out, I'm then completely unable to re-init that connection even after restarting the wallet. It just dies permanently.

Note to self: AVOID Blitz Wallet when trying out Lightning wallets. Their fees per lightning TX are horrendous.

This is huge.... Amazing potential. View quoted note →

I haven't used @Breez wallet in a good couple years I think, but I see it's finally at a point I can actually recommend it to pretty much anyone as a starting point. Postives: It's self-custodial, has a sleek UI, has an emergency sweep option to close channels and revert to on-chain if need be, and #Lightning fees are decently low. Could use some options such as - Contacts/Nostr integration - Profile seems to have no function other than the app automatically knowing when someone on Breez sent you money, i.e., can't send to profile. - For some reason I MUST have a fiat currency enabled. The one negative: Only negative so far is the constant need of apps nowadays in being AIO, in fact, I think that's a major detraction from what the app fundamentally IS and what it fundamentally DOES, as in, what APPLICATION it serves. I think this negative really shows considering last I tired it it already had Podcasts and Stores I believe, and so far it's the same selection. Hasn't visibly grown in an any way.

Oops... You're welcome. If you know, you know.

The surface web is officially diving deep into a dark age of censorship. Prepare accordingly. Get a #VPN / #SOCKS tunnel while you can. All that's happening in the UK, EU? It's coming for you, wherever you are. If you want to retain your privacy, switch to distributed networks. Decentralization is now a must, much like the early years of the internet boom. #Nostr and running a #Matrix homeserver for your community are good options (at least while Nostr catches up on feature-parity and software-maturity).
