Not sure this belongs in the Lemmy community.

I can’t help but being sceptical that this is based on a cryptocurrency. There are some good ideas in nym, but I’ll stick with Tor for now.

I use Debian stable on desktop and it’s pretty great. It’s more up to date than Ubuntu LTS, and there wasn’t any extra tinkering needed in my case (and I’m a developer).

Granted, Stable used to be always very stale, even to the point of being nicknamed Debian Stale, but something has happened in recent years and it’s rarely the case anymore. A new release every two years helps, I guess.

I don’t know if you’ve heard about Lightning Network, but this is a layer on top of the bitcoin blockchain that is much more suitable for small payments. That’s how I do most of my bitcoin payments now, and while it’s still a maturing technology, it mostly works well. Transactions are fast and inexpensive.

Wow, this is straight-up fraud. Goes to show that nobody should trust extraordinary claims from closed-source developers.

And still they come to clean the offices, and still they let them stay in the offices. It turned out paying was optional this whole time.

Yeah kbin’s developer says his ddos counter-measures affects federation: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/10415

TBH I think it may be because kbin and even some lemmy servers are getting absolutely hammered right now.

This may be it. kbin.social was outright down a bit earlier, and now I get a captcha page. Perhaps the ActivityPub stuff gets a captcha too, which obviously would break it. I guess I’ll try again another time.

Thanks! I hate posting duplicates and I tried to search before posting, but that’s life :-(
