Tails absolutely plays into what I'm thinking!
Oshtor · 6d
Tails is one of the most sound choices, though it can be almost any other distro if you prefer (as long as it's a trustable distro and not a corpo distro). What you really don't want is having to decrypt it on third party OS and having to "forage" for tools in a hurry later.

@GrapheneOS with the new officially supported Motorola phone will something change regarding hardware attestation and google play services (sandbox) "compatibility" with apps? Or will we have the same problems with some apps saying "the os was modified" or not working at all?

Huge milestone for Cashu. After 3 years of work, we finally have unruggable mints. I'm testing the first on-chain Cashu mint running inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), where the mint keys...

What about the resiliency of the mint? Something goes wrong and you lose everything? Is there a way to backup and restore or have a disaster recovery solution for when things go south without being able to touch people's funds or extract/obtain the keys? I mean we are talking about money here, not some random self host project. Not criticizing here, just being really curious.

#lnbits is there a way to avoid lnbits falling back to the fake wallet if for some reason lnd is not available or reachable? All I could find was to increase the startup timeout before falling back to the fake wallet, but that is really not enough. Is there a way to keep lnd and just retry "forever"?

It would be so valuable to have these in our community forum as well so others can profit as well and the devs actually can see what matters for you. Come and join ;) community.lnbits.com

The fake-wallet fallback is hard-coded as a "don't break the UI" path; there's no LNbits config to disable it. Two patterns that work: 1. **Watchdog + restart.** External script (systemd timer, monit) hits /api/v1/health every 30s; if backend != lnd, restart lnbits or the lnd container. Most operat...

BREAKING: You checked the weather this morning. And you just told a surveillance company where you sleep. https://blossom.primal.net/8de83be8d6d651c41f136f437ca863b2674c63e2b02cbcfa3fc1b5ae6efa83d8....

For what I know, the european GDPR never mention privacy, it just regulates how companies and entities need to manage data in order to stay legal (security, retain time, deletion, ttransmission to third parties, those kind of things).

You know Europe always like to regulate the shit out of your life.

But anyway, it "should" help against entities asking for too much data while using their services (like the cookies banner we all hate), but don't quote me on this.

And obviously you have to be compliant with government and police authorities and give them the data when they ask, soooo....

The future of mobile is Linux. https://file.nostrmedia.com/p/4eb88310d6b4ed95c6d66a395b3d3cf559b85faec8f7691dafd405a92e055d6d/39b407851ec5ee7be0a2c80f8e3be0460ddf3b766472f12ac6ab2be2f5b218bd.mp4 YT h...

The problem with Linux phones is that Linux was never designed with Security in mind, and on mobile devices you want security before everything else, otherwise without security you don't even have privacy: what if they take your phone or you lose it? The current state of Linux doesn't help with that, it's like running around with an unlocked and rooted android device.

So right now, unfortunately, the only solution is Graphene OS.

True, but if you’re the kind of person that runs linux you’re also the kind of person that can work around this.

As far as I remember you don't have privacy with Pheonix, one channel with their node means they at least see liquidity going in and out.

On their privacy terms:

However, for convenience, your Phoenix application delegates the calculation of payment routes to the ACINQ node. In the current version of the wallet, this node will know the final recipient of the payment, and the amount sent. Work is being done to remove that limitation and have better privacy.

So no privacy.

They had the Eclair app before which allowed manual channel management but sadly they retired it. Hopefully they re-introduce something similar in the future version of Phoenix
