We do as well nearly since we have started our company. As said we pay our staff in Monero, not but some and try to use it. But also Incognet concerts Monero into fiat to pay bills

i am now wondering if even configuration.nix isnt even the right place to put my custom configurations. If you're staying on the same machine, it seems like it will be fine. But if you are going to a different machine, it seems like it could still cause a problem.

examples:

1. my old laptop used grub with the older legacy boot where my new one uses systemd boot with efi. My old configuration file had grub stuff, so replacing the new configuration file wholesale would not have worked.

2. i am using LUKS and at least one UUID for the swap was initiated in configuration.nix

When I moved from my old laptop to my new laptop, I had to manually merge the two configuration.nix files together manually to make sure that the old one didn't break the new one.

I am beginning to wonder if creating a new module such as shortwavesurfer2009.nix and then adding it to the imports of configuration.nix might not be the better way to go.

You have to do refactoring and modularize your configuration very well for multi-hosts NixOS configuration to work nicely. And that's the main reason my desktop is Arch Linux instead of NixOS to this day.

This can also be contra productive as some merchants and services will stop accept Monero

oh fun. i could not build #Haveno on #NixOS because the current shell.nix file was not sufficient. it worked on other systems like Ubuntu or Fedora with Nix installed, but not default NixOS. Then bvczxa said it worked fine on his system without realizing that was because he had added a configuration that isn't present in the default system.

Woodser set up a PR that supersedes both of ours, and incorporates all the changes from both of us. https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/pull/2857

Would be better to have Doug and Bawdy here on Nostr. When will you ask them?

SIM swapping: an attacker convinces your carrier they are you They take your number, reset your accounts via SMS Move 2FA off SMS now
shortwavesurfer2009 profile picture
I agree with this. And for those extremely security-conscious companies like banks that don't allow you to take your 2FA codes off of SMS, you could always switch to a mobile carrier that does not allow their employees to do SIM swaps and only exposes that interface through the website using a code that's unique to you.

I use cloaked wireless for this, but I think there's another one that's called cape.
