I have used to procrastinate on news sites a lot. This helped me: 1. Install Firefox on your phone (I use hardened FF called Fennec) 2. Uninstall all the other browsers (except Tor) 3. Install addon: 4. Add sites to block 5. Do the same for your other devices 7. Enjoy using your new free time meaningfuly *** You can also use your `/etc/hosts` (on desktop) file to block it everywhere ``` 0.0.0.0 www.example.com 0.0.0.0 example.com ::0 www.example.com ::0 example.com ```

I track every minute of my life. I know how much I sleep, how much I work for money and how much I work for myself (house, finance, general maintenance, ...). I know how much time I spend wit my kids alone and how much we spend as family together. I know how much time I have for myself. I know how much time I spend gaming or and how much is the hobby coding. I use to track it. Very simple yet feature compete app.

Paying with prepaid credit card is hell. It just fails with no proper error message to tell the user what's wrong. My observations: - Address must exists (be legit) - Country in address must match the VPN location - Tor does not work - Many VPN does not work neither - Hardened privacy browsers have problems as well It is just pain. We need everyone to accept Bitcoin (Lightning), to participate in the true open monetary network.

This is great! > Obtainium allows you to install and update Open-Source Apps directly from their releases pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available. This can replace the F-Droid quite easily. I love the simplicity of this approach. But what I will be missing are the anti-feature checks and the duedeligence that F-Droid team provided. Now, you are trully responsible for auditing apps you install. I like that, however it can be double-edged sword. Nevertheless, best approach seems to be: find the app on F-Droid, and then add it to the Obtanium. This way you get most recent updates and some checks.

Wanna Bitcoin privacy? 1. Take whole UTXO 2. Open channel to the big node 3. Spend it, gradually or at once 4. Remaining 1% is unspendable 5. Close channel to some charity, donation address. No doxxic change for you, donation for good cause, karma for you. That's Win-Win-Win!

Paying taxes is sposoring the terrorist organization. > Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of intentional violence and fear to achieve political or ideological aims. (Wikipedia) State uses violence or threat of violence (enforcing it's law) to achieve political or ideological goals. This, the State is Terrorist Organization and by paying taxes, you are the sponsor of it.

I am frightened by the "modern" people refusing to use cash with argument that it is inconvenient. They do it even in situations where they expose themself to the risk of the abuse by the State (buying/selling Bitcoin or doing agresive tax optimizations). It is crazy. For a small upside of inconvenience they are willing to risk a tax audit or at least bank asking very inconvenient questions. Woke up! Cash is the king. Cash is anonymous, hard to confiscate and fungible. Use it everywhere where you can. Many times it's better then Bitcoin, because it is trully anonymous! Woke up!

People move money from small banks to big ones to reduce risk of losing funds when small bank bankrupts. Why not move it to the biggest bank of them all then? Bank that will never fail, saftey of all deposits guaranteed by the State. It will reduce complexity, remove middle-man's, limits fees and transaction costs... ... Oh wait ... is that CBDC? Brace yourseld. Dark age of total money control is coming. "Through pain and suffering, you will learn, that Bitcoin is your Savior." -- Book of Satoshi, 24:13

(Un)stablecoins are very risky to hold. You expose yourself to two risks at once: - Bank failure (bankruptcy, confiscation, embezzlement, ...) - Shitcoin issuer (bankruptcy, confiscation, embezzlement, ...) Those risk MULTIPLIES!

#[0] is everything OK? For some time I have a problems with your channels. Channel to Wallet of Satoshi node comes online nearly immediately, but channels to LNBIG take a lot of time and sometimes they never work. Seems random. I have channels to lnd-7/old-lnd and lnd-3. Thanks!
