(#2kzsn4a) I’m open to other suggestions? Maybe a service that can provide a an altcoin payment method and gateway as a service? 🤔

(#2kzsn4a) @mckinley@twtxt.net That may be true. I tried some “decentralized exchanges” but I have issue with “trust” so this is proving to be quite hard to figure out how to support accepting XMR as a “payment method” 🤔

So turns out the following are banned in Australia

DASH, XMR or ZEC.

(#4sjthna) @bender@twtxt.net Thank you ! 🙇‍♂️

(#o2wztra) Looks like his feed occasionally has problems too :/

(#o2wztra) @bender@twtxt.net Agree maybe it’s time to rethink the data stored here, I’ve been leaning towards this anyway over the past year or so.

(#o2wztra) I dunno what to say, but the Twt @movq@www.uninformativ.de replied to #cjlg4da just isn’t there. I can see it in @johanbove@johanbove.info ’s feed

$ ./yarnc stats https://johanbove.info/twtxt.txt | grep cjlg4da
  1 : (#cjlg4da)

But neither my pod nor the search engine ever ingested it. Hmm? Without modifying the tools I’m not even sure which Twt it was.

(#2hmj7aq) @darren@twtxt.net The few always spoil it for the many 😢

(#e7zaicq) I agree with your sentiment 👌

(#2hmj7aq) Hmmmm

Monero, a privacy-focused cryptocurrency, is not illegal globally but is banned in some countries due to its potential use in illicit activities. Countries like Dubai, Japan, South Korea, and Australia have either banned or recommended a ban on privacy coins like Monero.23 Oct 2023

That’s not good 😌

(#sa4jlsq) If I try and get a PoC up and running that’s useful enough, any takers? I mean c’mon it’ll only cost you $0.15-$0.20 🤣

(#sa4jlsq) Interesting. Good to see I’ll have competition 😅

(#2hmj7aq) @mckinley@twtxt.net And what about some of the other aspects that make Bitcoin awful. Like the stupid instability of it’s fiat conversation price and the stupid amouns of energy it consumes? How does Monero compare?

(#2hmj7aq) Ahy is Monaro/XMR considered good / better btw? 🤔

(#2hmj7aq) @mckinley@twtxt.net Looks like XMR is much more stable than bloody BTC which is nice 🤣

(#sa4jlsq) @mckinley@twtxt.net I was mostly only thinking about use-based. Is there a desire for than this?

(#2hmj7aq) @mckinley@twtxt.net Will do! 👌

(#sa4jlsq) I think realistically a micro container like this needs to cost the consumer only $0.15/month if at all feasible

(#sa4jlsq) @mckinley@twtxt.net Based on your previous comment I think I need to reduce the price to a round $0.20

(#sa4jlsq) @mckinley@twtxt.net Yea the idea is micro costs to the consumer. No one really does this, that I know of, which is frustrating if you want to run a few small things without the overhead of a whole server or the operational efforts.

(#cqsnisq) Yeah could
be 🤔 Juat experimenting with what’s possible 😅

(#6wse6fa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de You are right, I do! But I work remotely for a bank where most of it’s employees live/work in the state of Victoria, so there 🙄

(#sa4jlsq) @mckinley@twtxt.net Most little web apps, websites, static sites, whatever run perfectly fine with good performance on just 100mCores, a lot of what I run only has between 100m-500m of CPU allocated to it.

(#sa4jlsq) @mckinley@twtxt.net Yup!

Does this sound reasonable for running small workloads? 🤔

$0.50/month for
100 mCores
64 MB Memory
1 GB Storage
1 GB Bandwidth

@pratikbaid3@twtxt.net is looking for a few small projects to add to his contractor/freelance CV and has reached out to me to see if he could do a bit of work on the Yarn.social mobile app. He’s done work before in the past and has done a pretty decent job.

Two projects we’ve discussed:

• Flutter upgrade and cleanup, ensuring the mobile app builds successfully with the latest Flutter (which breaks all the time 🤦‍♂️)
  
• A UI/UX Redesign of the Mobile App with a Bottom Nav Bar layout. This would end up having something like Timeline | Mentioned | Profile – Maybe it could also have “Search” too if I somehow found the time to add an appropriate search endpoint to the API.
  

What do y’all think? 🤔

(#6wse6fa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Well it’s screwed with my working hours somewhat, but this year I’ve decided to just “not give a shit”™ and just get up at the normal time and start at the time I had been starting work the past 6 months, 8.30am. In practise it probably means I end up working a bit longer for ½ the year, but oh well, at least I don’t have to fiddle with my alarm clock ⏰

(#lkr7vhq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I immediately thought of this when you asked, because we use eBPF-based tools in Kubernetes clusters. It’s very powerful stuff and you can do a lot very cheaply with it, including tying packets to processes.

(#f57rmoq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t mind the binary size. It’s a taxed odd between size, portability and feature.

(#lkr7vhq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de An eBPF logger would do the trick here 👌

(#d6xxntq) @bender@twtxt.net This is true!

(#reqcmca) @bender@twtxt.net That’s precisely what I’m talking about. Investing in good businesses that are well established. If they also produce an income in the form of a distribution or dividend, that that’s even better. YOu can have some tax benefits too if you do it right. But the trap? (I think) is falling into this false sense of security of thinking you can leverage up to the bank’s LVR (Loan to Value Ratio) only to get caught up. Best to be conservative so you can take the wild swings and obviously diversity.

(#d6xxntq) @bender@twtxt.net No I meant like a “savings account” 🤣 You guys (us) are lucky I guess? A savings account here in Oz barely gets you 0.35%pa to 1.5%pa depending on how much money you have in it (0-$10k, $10-20k, $20-$30k, up to $50k)

(#rvxb4rq) @slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net wut?!

(#d6xxntq) @adi@twtxt.net putting money into a bank account that earns interest is also called investing 😆

(#reqcmca) income producing assets 👌 The math works out if you’re conservative and don’t over leverage 😅

(#reqcmca) Not betting on the market no.

(#d6xxntq) @bender@twtxt.net Is it really gambling though if you’re investing long-term? How is it any different from borrowing money from the bank to. buy property? 🤔

(#yfwrbxq) @bender@twtxt.net Haha

(#rtt6tqq) @bender@twtxt.net It did indeed, except I fell over the car’s trailer hitch on my shin, fuck that hurt 😞 thank god I didn’t break my leg (just badly bruised)

(#f3fjk3a) It was the first project I ever wrote in Go 😆

(#f3fjk3a) @shreyan@twtxt.net Haha 🤣

(#d6xxntq) @xuu@txt.sour.is What would you consider to be “over leveraging”? 🤔

(#bhyd2xq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Fuxk 🤬

Why don’t more people borrow to invest and increase their portfolio and wealth? 🤔
