Here. Fixed it for you.

@shortwavesurfer @rar any advantage in using kagi instead of various searxNG/whoogle instances that are free to use? Also, brave's search engine is getting better.

@shortwavesurfer why did dgoon stop making the developer segment?

@moneromaxi @ShadowRebel I am guessing he hires a fiverr guy to do the dubs.. He should curb the enthusiasm a little.

>Tor network relies on a relatively small number of “centralized” node operators.

Here's a recent talk that argues to the contrary: https://media.ccc.de/v/camp2023-57172-a_guided_tour_through_tor_network_health_and_performance

@Saki I like I2P. I use it for my torrenting activities, it is great---no need for VPNs for torrenting anymore.

However, Tor has its own advantages, being more reachable by a greater number of people who might not be as tech savvy as us, is one of them. Like it or not, Tor's abundant exit nodes is one other advantage that it has over I2P. In the case of something like mitra.social microblogging service, if one hosts a onion-only instance of it, Tor allows him to federate with clearnet peers over the exit nodes, and thus allow the onion-only instances of mitra/pleroma to be also in connect with the greater fediverse.

>the Tor network relies on a relatively small number of “centralized” node operators.

Any sources that makes you say that?

>The lightning payments are custodial.

Imagine my shock.

@ShadowRebel in fact, I am posting these comments from my own mitra instance. It can play-nice with the lemmy instance of monero.town, since they all share the same ActivityPub protocol underneath.

No need for a newfangled protocol that tries to re-invent the wheel.

@ShadowRebel nostr might be cool and I do wish it would have more Monero people in there; but, mitra.social is already doing good things. It is ActivityPub compatible (thus federateable), it has baked-in Monero tips and subscriptions support, and it can work over tor + clearnet. Quite good for Monero people to be in.

>demonstrating that their funds (do not) originate from known (un-)lawful sources, without publicly revealing their entire transaction graph.

tbh, I am skeptical about how the current status quo of government apparatus defines the "lawful" and "unlawful." So, it is total obfuscation without compromises.

@simping4xmrchan it is quite /comfy/. I can sling my posts around the fediverse back from my own corner on the internet lol.

@simping4xmrchan don't mind me just trying posting to lemmy from my mitra instance. Let's see how will activitypub behave.
