It's a bit unfortunate. In 2018, I was envisioning a future where people generally would pay using cryptocurrency.. because it is a technology that works by design, decentralized.. how is this not just the set solution?

At the time i was selling some used stuff on our national popular marketplace, but nobody wanted to pay me with crypto.

Now lately it just carries this dark atmosphere of being used for bad and illegal services.

Me and my close friend would send each other crypto when owning up for stuff like paying the rest of the half of the food when he paid for us both. He lost interest, and we eventually went back to normal stuff.

Though with the hopefully coming traction of decentralized services like fediverse services, maybe we'll also then see a new traction of cryptocurrency being an ok option for payment again.

I have a dumb question.. what is preventing the crawlers from just eating the shit and just burn though the energy to get through the computational task?

I wonder if any colorblind people completely didn't understand this meme

Hmmm, may drink strategically to dodge rules like no self brought alcohol on the festival, or a way to feel the effect good enough before needing to run to the bus.

But to deal with drama? No that I'm taking fully in so I can learn from it if something similar happens again

I have pretty much been studying a language every day for the past 4 years, 3 years with Japanese and now 1 year with German.

They already had a controversy some time (years?) ago, saying stuff like "Bitcoin is all we need", "everything other than Bitcoin is a shitcoin", "we don't want to associate with the criminal record Monero carries"... something like that.

What you can do is to use non-kyc exchanges, send XMR in, exchange to Bitcoin, and withdraw directly to Proton. Proton won't be all hurr durr about dirty Bitcoin.

There are 2 instances that use anti bot features that I could find. That is https://search.canine.tools/ and https://search.fredix.xyz/

Personally, the fastest and most reliable in my opinion are https://priv.au/ and https://searx.tiekoetter.com/ I used to use Tiekoetter's instance for nearly a year before I hosted my own. Otherwise I would recommend checking here: https://searx.space/

With that said, I still didn't answer your question, because I am hosting my own instance, but I would not recommend joining unless you really want to. I'm going to move it to central Europe, it's currently hosted in Romania.

Damn, is it actually Eivith? Thanks for all the support help in the Matrix chat

Damn, I too went to this same route of Google -> duckduckgo -> Searx. While it is true searx is unreliable at times, if you enable more engines and find an instance that has anti botting features, it should be pretty solid

My friend is a crazy heavy anime watcher. One time he decided to watch an anime without subtitles, and he understood soo much... Pretty much got it all. Didn't study Japanese, just casually having nearly 300 days (7200 hours) of watch time according to MyAnimeList.

It's cool and all, but there are MUCH better and faster ways to learn Japanese than spending 2 years non-stop watching anime to reach his kind of level

I made a website to practice reading my wristwatch: https://aadniz.github.io/niwa-practicer/ (works best on PC, and I'm well aware of many issues)

Since depth is important to recognizing the odd and even, quickly mapping them to the number, I made it "fake" 3D, tracing each layer in krita.

There was no deep motivation for this other than refreshing myself a bit of React from University. With my neverending list of project plans, I felt like this one was a good choice for that. Here is the source code: https://github.com/Aadniz/niwa-practicer

I use Reddit to investigate niche topics. Sometimes I want people's say instead of these blogs showing top 10 house renting service.

The pure scale of Reddit users makes it more attractive in this regards right now

I've listened to a lot of different music over the years. I listen to music so much all day mostly as background noise... I recently moved to a new place, and the neighbor sometimes plays Jazz in the weekends. I seriously open the windows and turn off my own music. Something about it is just soo nice and chill. Something with the vibe, I don't know. The closest genre I listen to similar to Jazz, is Downtempo. Here for reference: Youtube Music | Spotify

Future of Infosec.pub (self.infosecpub)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by Typewar to c/infosecpub
 

It seems like Lemmy took off 2 years ago with the announcement of Reddit's API blocking 3rd party apps. Many instances popped up, and some disappeared equally fast. More people have now moved over since the actual announcement becoming alive.

I'm a bit new to the decentralized hosts with federation/mesh social networks on the web, and are wondering if anyone with long time experience using something like Mastodon would shine a perspective on how these services usually operate? Does popular instances suddenly disappear, resulting in people losing contact with each other? losing progress, reputation, communities and their history? Since it's open source, and it's meant to be run by the people, for the people. How is the stability and long-term plan for Infosec.pub? I would like to stick around this service for hopefully many years.

Most of the instances in the instance section (https://infosec.pub/instances) is gone. I would be interested to see the statistics on how long all these instances lived before they were shut down, and compare those numbers to the big instances people are signing up to.

Lastly, there seems to be no way to migrate your account to another instance [1], so long-term reliability is indeed important.
