Started using Linux in 2010 on a virtual machine on a Windows XP machine that was really not meant to run it and it was God awful. But I knew that it was the virtual machine not Linux itself. After that I was using my laptop for school and a Windows update completely broke it and I absolutely had to use it for the next class that I was going to in like five minutes and I had a flash drive with a live Linux environment already on it and so I just used that. However, once I was done with class that day, my first thought was why should I even go in and attempt to fix this Windows machine when Linux has been working fine for me all day. And so I just went ahead and wiped the disk and ran the installer. And I’ve been using Linux ever since. I do generally keep a Windows virtual machine around, just in case, but it’s extremely rare that I’ve ever needed to use it.

I mostly follow the Dave Ramsey every dollar plan. So I have my budget worked out in such a way that once I’m done paying everything and moving money around, my bank account has like $5 in it that’s just there to absorb any weird charges I might forget about. It doesn’t normally happen, but it helps to have it just for that reason. I also have a specific amount that I put into my savings every month and the vast majority of my money I take out of the fiat system entirely every single month.

By using PeerTube instead

Yeah, definitely Earthbending for sure.

A gunman could walk in with an AK-47 and shoot everybody dead on live tv… Oh wait, you mean what will happen in the debate? Well obviously since it’s already over, we know the answer to that.

Consume everything you can. Go down the rabbit hole so deep you’re afraid you’ll never come back. To start with, I suggest Monero Talk. That’s where you can start to listen to podcasts about it. And to get your first, you can go to xmrbazaar.com and click “Earn XMR”

I have actually found IPv6 simpler to set up and manage than I thought it would be. As I run at least one or two internet facing services from my home network, which I cannot do with IPv4 because my ISP is fully CGNAT. I even successfully set up my own static IPv6 address on my server so that I can just point my domain name at it and then anything I need I can just hit my domain and it will give the IP address instead of me having to remember it.

Well, I can’t help you with the fact that you don’t have a whole lot of money to begin with, but as far as the fees and regulations and currency issues, Monero would solve that.

I donate sometimes with monero

While not outright obvious, the title is technically correct. It is open source money.

I use the T-Mobile Connect prepaid plan now, but I’ve heard very good things about Mint Mobile and for a long time I used Ting Mobile before it was bought by Dish Network.

Edit: btw i run a community !t_mobile@lemmy.ml If anyone has any interesting topics.

I got the 50 from this video.

Ugh, Yes, you could. But, Cloudflare.

If you self-host, it’s better, but it’s still not great. The people would then know the IP address of your server that you were hosting it on, so you’d have to make sure it was a VPS and not done from home.

Because encryption doesn’t work for rooms over 50 people, so any room over that size is public by default. And most of the usage is the Matrix.org home server.

Accept Monero and you will get free advertisement because the Monero community very much cares about businesses that accept Monero and will drive traffic to you. Also, the Monero community is extremely aligned with privacy.

No, the only one that knows your IP is your server. So your server knows your IP because you talked to it and the server knows the recipient servers IP because that’s who you’re sending to. And the recipient knows their servers IP but doesn’t know your servers IP and doesn’t know your IP. Now you can find the recipient servers IP by doing a ping obviously and they can find your servers IP that same way but they can’t find your IP directly and you can’t find their IP directly. Now, this may change for audio calls because that uses WebRTC, but I can’t speak to that.
