How easy/hard is it to connect a #ledger to #qubes these days?

The docs I've found seem quite outdated. So it's either become quite trivial or so hard that people have given up.

Second best and related, how easy/hard is it to connect a ledger to #ubuntu?

#asknostr


I've found the copy and move to other Qubes feature super convenient, once eI discovered it. Is this what you're using to move files among Qubes or have you found another way?


Interested. Working to make #qubesos my daily driver and want an ergonomic setup to plug a small laptop into. I've been hesitant to use a USB keyboard or mouse, which blocks the idea of an ergonomic setup.


I'd suggest attention is and we give it away way too cheaply.


I like the idea however have mixed feelings about bringing a computer outside. I guess if it is time I would have spent inside, that I can now spend outside, this could be beneficial. It does look great particularly for long form online reading.


For me -

Good days > 2 hrs outside

Better days > 4 hrs outside

Best days > 6 hrs outside

(And vitamin D pill are no substitute...)


My full quote to Politico regarding Satoshi and the HBO doc…
“For years, there's been endless speculation about the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, both in print and in media. Yet, until someone signs the private keys linked to Satoshi’s addresses, all of this remains mere conjecture.

Satoshi gave the world a profound gift in Bitcoin but deliberately chose to remain anonymous—a decision that must be respected. Efforts to unmask them are not just irresponsible but potentially dangerous.

Satoshi left the project early, and since then, countless others have contributed far more to Bitcoin’s evolution. Satoshi is no longer just one person; Satoshi is now everyone who works to restore a sound, incorruptible money standard for the world. We are all Satoshi.”


TradFi and centralized crypto institutions -

"We need all your private and confidential information to open an account. Don't worry, we keep it safe and are blah, blah, blah certified..

Also these institutions -

"Oops we got hacked and your private and personal information got leaked to the dark web. Here's a couple months of free credit monitoring. (Now go away and don't ask any questions.)"


Thank you for this, much appreciated. I look forward to making this a weekend project in the very near future.


Say one lives in an apartment in an urban area. What would you suggest as the first security and performance  upgrade to a setup that uses the provider's wifi router, hardwired to two separate wifi routers, one for my work and the other for the family stuff?


I grew up in a Roman Catholic household, rejected it, started a secular meditation practice, then gradually studied Buddhism. Today I'm a practicing Buddhist.

Why?

Because over the years I learned to rely on myself, not others. Catholicism teaches one to look for an external savior. Buddhism teaches one to look inside for what one needs.

So the latter is much more synchronized with my worldview.


After spending time in Singapore it's harder than ever to not view the United States as a slowly, yet accelerating, crumbling empire.


#qubesos needs a built-in incremental backup function.


Ever walked through the diamond district in NYC? An entire city avenue block long but it looks like this place dwarfs even it.

The Pentagon is probably appropriately-sized for America's military-industrial complex and associated bureaucracy.

The diamond industry I guess enjoys such huge margins on small stones they don't know what else to do with it.

The book describing the history of DeBeers is pretty fascinating if you haven't already read it. The anecdote that still sticks with me nearly 20 years after reading it is the one about how DeBeers pretty much invented and popularized the engagement ring.


Tradfi boyz hoping hard that NYC becomes crypto's capital so they can still get that condo in Williamsburg and move there w/their girl's flufferdoodle.


They're probably not "allowed" to disclose details due to regulations put in place to keep their customers "protected" out of "an abundance of caution"


If it's not open source, it's not private.

If you can't choose to use your own server, it's not private.

If you can't use it when the company is gone, it's not private.

If you can't create anonymous accounts, it's not private.

Stop trusting the marketing. Start verifying.


How do we disable #replyguy?


Why not F-Droid?

What's the best way to deal w/it right now? I've seen some talk about filtering with relays, however with mixed results.


We prioritize efficiency over beauty.


Does anyone have a solar powered #Starlink setup going that they're happy with? #AskNostr


I volunteered as a PM to get started on my first crypto project. The project lead wrote a post-mortem about a failed product launch. I replied to him describing how a PM could help the next launch attempt succeed and joined the project based on a subsequent conversation.

I do find it difficult to be accepted as a PM in the decentralized world, although as the year have passed that resistance seems to be diminishing. Rather than "management"I tend to think of the work as "coordinatation", which tends to be perceived as less centralized and heavy handed.

One tactical step you could take is to create a GitHub project board from an existing project and try and do some initial organization of current issues. If you're not a contributor to the repo, try forking it and creating the board in your fork.

Hope that helps a little...


America's becoming a country whose population can't bend over to put on and tie their shoes.

Looking for a privacy preserving self-hosted blog stack #asknostr  that goes beyond "nobody can connect the server IP to my identity" cc: nostr:nprofile1qqsrkl7gyds37xh2af37uwlknvjm32ska3hgr5d0cwgzdqy0ux2r2ncpzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzemhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skcwhq0n8


Just one more flush, really this time...


Thanks. I'm assuming that to add the NIP-05 address to your profile you have to prove ownership of the address?

Observing what's happening in the US makes more sense when the US is framed as a deteriorating superpower about to pass the torch (or have it taken), rather than as the world's dominant superpower having a firm grasp on that role.


Two question as I get started here -

- is there an easy way to find the Nostr accounts associated with X accounts (assuming the Nostr account exists)

- how can one identify legit accounts of popular Nostr users? Right now I'm going based on highest follower count among the various impersonator accounts


Seems like the frequency of SEC enforcement actions is highly correlated to the likelihood of interest rate cuts.
