It's disappointing how slow astral.ninja is over #tor
Snort.social is lightning fast. Obviously it is massively stripped down, but I appreciate the features on astral but the speed in just unbearable.
Iris.to client is nice but I can't find the 'notifications' section.

What is the best way to get a non-kyc credit card or prepaid card that I can use to purchase things online with BTC or Monero?

How do I use this?

I would strongly encourage you to flash coreboot. I flashed HEADS and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. There are definitely some confusing hang ups, but it was very satisfying and if I can do it you can too. Really good thing to do.

This is a good point, and it's very much worth emphasizing @npub19uj…5j3z that the growing pains as you adjust to Qubes are really you learning new habits which will equip you with a way to view security and managing your digital world that applies to all other digital endeavors. It's not just a Qubes niche learning curve that doesn't help you later on.

Qubes is also affected. Look at the Qubes Security Bulletin released: https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/qsb-090-zenbleed-cve-2023-20593-xsa-433/20037

I'm a little confused. If anyone can get my Nostr public address and see my feed, can they not also 'follow' other people? Does this not just create an opportunity for a troll to completely ruin your feed? #asknostr #nostrnewbie

2023-07-24 12:33:35

- reply

I think if you create a new account with them they will probably assign you some default relays, in which case the client would matter, but in general clients should not effect what you see (open to being educated).

2023-07-24 12:16:35

- reply

Help me understand why it matters if it is mostly japanese users? Aren't you going to get the relays you subscribe to? And so the clients are just portals for that?

2023-07-24 11:36:59

What are some other good web based clients? What are you using?
Thanks

2023-07-24 11:14:18

Does astral.ninja not work when one is behind #tor ? #asknostr
When I login via my private key, the feed just endlessly 'buffers' and never populates with broadcasts.

It's not even a conspiracy theory. Elon said this from the very beginning very openly and loudly. Hardly a conspiracy.

Isn't the nuclear family a unit within the extended family? Sort of a nested hierarchy.
In what way are the two distinct?

I'm quite well versed in this but would still love to see the guide.
To add on to your metadata point, you can look at projects like Fawkes for a subtle way to alter your photos so that facial recognition software cannot attach your image to your social media or other things you've inadvertently put online, or terms of service allowed companies to put online.
I'm using Tor so I am not too worried about anonymity, but I just want to get a grasp of what the protocol offers and does not offer in this respect.
Thanks for your response.

My concern if it is the same as any other kind of online engagement is that people may mistake the 'censorship resistant' architecture for 'anonymizing' if that is not the case.

2023-07-23 04:02:43

What are peoples tips for security and anonymity using Nostr?
I take it your IP is still attached to all of your broadcasts, but how is it stored?
Can someone help me understand the privacy dynamic on Nostr as a technology?

If you go the extra mile and at best arrive in the same place, you just walked a mile for nothing.
Instead walk somewhere you can't get to by bus.
If you want to do it as a technical exercise to improve your abilities and understanding of a technology that makes more sense.

Why would you create an OS for this? Easier to just flash a USB with TAILS if you are on windows, connect to your client via torbrowser, or use whonix / qubes if you want a really secure virtualized environment.
Not sure why going to all that effort would be worth it in light of the available options. Care to inform me?

2023-07-22 08:41:36

This is neat and makes sense. I'll take the advice and start by following everyone I see posting in a productive manner and then start to trim and hone in later down the line.

I use coriander powder to make a Chicken Curry marinade.
3 tbsp cooking oil
1/3 cup of greek yoghurt
1 tbsp kashmiri chili powder
1 tbsp crushed garlic
1 tbsp crushed ginger
2 tsp coriander powder
2 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp Tandoori powder
Mix all of that up, and then stir in 800g of chicken thigh's sliced up. Marinade for at least 6hrs, ideally overnight, and viola. Epic curry ensues.

Do you have a restriction on the amount of RAM that AppVM has access to?
Browser tabs take up a lot of RAM, so if you have more you may want to boost the amount you are assigning the dispvm.

I'm a fan. Do you know much about the forthcoming changes in the move to Whonix-17 based on debian-12 (bookworm)?
I'd love to know more about the practical security implications of the changes, if any, as I'm not a technical user.

2023-07-22 05:44:47

What is the trouble? Are you talking about simply accessing clients via Fedora Appvm's?
I'm using a whonix disp vm and having no trouble, so I presume you are referring to something more complicated.

2023-07-22 05:39:28

I have a question regarding how one should set up various Nostr feeds. (What should I call them?)
If I want to have a personal broadcasting feed on a specific topic, say a political topic, and a personal Nostr account, is the best move to post only political related information on Nostr key #2 and repost it with my person Nostr key #1?
In order to keep the 2nd feed more on-topic for a broader audience?
Do we have channels that are emerging as rebroadcasters of interesting information someone can direct me to?

2023-07-22 05:35:40

Can you get more specific on this?
At what point do you think 'consequences' moves to a point of punishment that is essentially a coercive / forceful effort to shut down speech, rather than a natural and fair reaction to the content of ones speech?
Is it at the point of a threat of violence? How do you consider the loss of livelihood in this?

2023-07-22 05:26:21

I'm new to Nostr and I have a question:
How do you improve the quality of your feed for interesting content and people?
Is the best way to search for terms of things you are interested in and find people that way? How important is the relay you are using? Or are the relays not curated in this way yet?
Thanks!
