the Android VLC is absolutely different from the desktop version.

Unfortunately, google maps is much more than a map. Shops with ratings and business hours, traffic, public transports, sattelite and street views are typically missing from these alternatives (fair rating is likely impossible).

I like Organic Maps though in case if network issues. Hopes Kartaview succeeds too.

All your session cookies are stored in plaintext.

63.3K commits from 1K+ contributors and still pre-alpha, it’s amazing what a nightmare web browsers have become!

It seems to me that there will be much less relays than there are AP nodes. Users won’t publish/subscribe to hundred of relays (if they did, relays would not scale). Hence more bad content to less moderators, and poor moderation.

Adding client filters would just shift the censorship power to those maintaining them.

Same as CP used against encryption.

Had the same experience with Lydia advertising their new brand name by email yesterday.

The entropy of otp codes is low compared to the seed’s. I’d never though about what that meant for reversion. Good point !

In actually decreases with time (by half every four year, unless the value increases equally, which is unlikely in the long run). However you should compare the energy per transaction, which is pretty lame (5txs per seconds or similar).

Sharik is very nice on smartphone: https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.marchello.sharik/ No need to install anything on the receiver side; handles Wifi hotshot itself.

That would make sense. Thx

I use Monero for donations too on a regular basis. From what I understand, the people accepting donations would no longer be allowed to sell them to professional platforms (silly as those are the ones KYCing).

So that you can’t sell later ?

It generated a suffix of two digits when I tried (you can set it explicitely but it is mandatory).

Pow does not limit spam in bitcoin. Fees do. Pow is used as a decentralized election mecanism to distribute the block production.

They will allow to hide your phone number from your profile, but what about your profile name ? This will identify you after your username is used. So you must also remove your name from your profile, this will confuse your previous contacts (I’m not sure if names come from profile or contact list actually).

I feel the options for phone number display are not sufficient to have several privacy profiles.

You would likely face another issue in that scenario: briar + hotspot draining your battery.

A phone number will always be required to limit bot accounts.

I don’t get it; if I pay my taxes in my country of residence, how is it illegal to work for a foreign entity ?

Why would I need a visa if I stay in my own country ?

Not sure why they used sha256 though, it mostly defeats the goal of protecting from bots (those can get access to ASICs, as oposed to regular users).

He pinged the local IP to check if the network card was up on his suspended machine…
