I think 99% of nostriches wouldn't fall for this, but feel free to pass this along to the 1% who think it'd be a great idea to go through KYC...with biometrics to get access to some shitcoin. https://www.nationthailand.com/business/tech/40054582

While some awesome nostriches are coding alternatives, I think we still need to promote and support alternatives to keep the mainstream web free as well. Too many people are still here, and we should be fighting for them too. Hopefully, more options like this will continue to be developed and shared with the masses. https://www.ghacks.net/2025/08/16/nextdns-adds-an-option-to-bypass-age-verification-on-websites/

It feels like more and more of the world's governments are moving towards KYCing access to the internet. Here are just two more examples: https://www.wired.com/story/bluesky-goes-dark-in-mississippi-age-verification/ https://reclaimthenet.org/brazil-uses-child-safety-as-cover-for-online-digital-id-surge This is why freedom tech is so important. We need to be able to be free of this government overreach! #freedomtech

If you make it over to #Thailand, this stuff costs about 70 Thai baht. At the present rate, that's about 2.15 US dollars. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/15-50-1-i5130262416-s21656464843.html nostr:nevent1qqsvksrtxl6mvaezq9hcjz7ka00wpk6w4dhp694r5f3n4ezyc5jgs7glm4prn

Do we have many nostriches behind the Great Firewall? If so, what's the state of BTC adoption on the ground? I know Alipay is practically everywhere now, but is anyone still taking the risk to use Bitcoin (or even XMR) day-to-day? If so, what are the options for buying and spending your coins in the PC? https://www.idnfinancials.com/news/54986/china-tightens-financial-control-crypto-now-fully-banned #China #PRC #asknostr

What other options exist for us out there? Is self-hosting an offline AI the only real option today? nostr:nevent1qqsd58gr6rlxv2jdaxh4egfwj96l3mrmtwjer65weswunuc74rpcmqsptkxj8

I missed this news! Is the restaurant accepting on-chain payments or Lightning? #asknostr nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqntcggz30qhq60ltqdx32zku9d46unhrkjtcv7fml7jx3dh4h94nqy2hwumn8ghj7erfw36x7tnsw43z7un9d3shjqpq60w72szpfez67h3lukc65xtanpgm0xta5d66q3urhfkwr7ykyesq2hrsld

I've set up #Bitchat on my phone and got another friend to do the same. Both are Android. We've both messed around with the app, tried toggling Bluetooth on and off, etc. Unfortunately, neither of us can see the other. Any recommendations for fixing this? Or any ideas of what we overlooked? #asknostr

Nostriches, when are we going to fork the Brave browser? Let's dump BAT and use lightning or cashu to earn while surfing. That would help to avoid KYC nonsense on Brave as well! #asknostr #grownostr

Aside from not having WiFi at home at all, is there any other way for privacy-minded folks to combat or counteract this? https://youtube.com/shorts/-ExoDU0e-x8 #privacy #asknostr

I know Nostr seems to be predominantly keto or carnivore, but... Has anyone tried to nixtamalize corn themselves? Did you use wood ash (as in the attached video) or another method? Is it a process you'd repeat again? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fPDZOjMqsk #asknostr #traditionalfood #wapf

In #privacy news, I've just learned that Google pulled down some kind of Italian blog about the Latin Mass. https://reclaimthenet.org/catholic-blog-messainlatino-removed A couple of quick thoughts: 1. Why would Google want to censor religious news and discussion? What's in it for them? 2. How easy would it be to do a mass migration of blog articles for a site like that? Assuming they have a backup of their content, is there any way for them to post all of that content as articles to Nostr (without manually posting each one)? 3. Alternatively, moving forward, do we have any kind of tools that allow for Nostr back-up posting of blog articles? I know I've seen similar for Twitter notes, but has anyone built something similar for Nostr? #asknostr

I know I'm a little late to the party here, but forgive me. I'm just discovering #Reticulum for the first time now. Last night, I watched this video on YouTube about a guy named Juraj sending sats with a LoRa broadcast, using the Reticulum protocol and cashu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAX8GFn5uCI If I understand everything correctly, that broadcast is encrypted, so there's little threat of the tokens being stolen. As long as the cashu mint is still up and running, the recipient gets his sats and can convert them back to LN or even standard BTC thereafter. Super cool!

#Meshtastic & #Reticulum nerds, I'm thinking about getting a bunch of cheap devices and playing with both protocols. If I've understood things correctly, Meshtastic works more like a radio in that each device itself is what has an 'identity' and that your phone app merely helps you to access any messages that come through. Thus, if some friends and I wanted to test out Meshtastic, we'll each need our own LoRa devices, even if all at the same office or residence. For Reticulum, the RNode device relays messages, but your identity is actually tied to Sideband or whatever software you're using. So in that case, we could get away with a single RNode device on a single property but have different mobile devices with Sideband. At least, for testing purposes when everyone is within reasonable range of the device. Am I on the right path so far? #asknostr
