Yes, Taler by design allows identifiction of the receiver.

It does not reveal the sender.

It allows you to create and arbitrate your own tokens and to create your own "bank".

Here's a Video doing a good job at explaining it jn detail.

This.

However sometimes the user can't access the device. Depending on your system, I recommend adding your user to the dialout/serial group.

I.e. quick online search

ooh, nice!

I've just red up on Tvix and looked at a few discussions regarding the post-drama work.

Would you mind pointing me towards more sources on the restructure?

For anyone worried about the Nix drama, a fork has already happened.

You can find it under lix.systems.

I have three things to say:

1. Everyone, please make sure you've set up sound disk encryption
2. That's not a suprise (for me at least)
3. It's not much different on mobile (db is unecrypted) - check out molly (signal fork) if you want to encrypt it. However encrypted db means no messages until you decrypt it.

Unfortunately time does not care about people

I cleaned my bin.

All that's left is a symlink: sh -> /nix/store/...

Nix has an open issue on integrating IPFS support.

There's also an old tutorial.

What would you tell a direct ancestor of yourself, living in the year 2024?

FreeTube has built in SponsorBlock, you can tell it to automatically and seamlessly skip sections of videos, such as sponsors, self ads, intros, outros,...

You're playing Devils Advocate, and you probaly know it xD

Anyway, I prefer NixOS for it's declarativity, reproducibility and immutability.

Example: You want nginx with acme setup? Just tell it to, and NixOS will figure out the steps to reach the desired state.

• NixOS
  • disko + nixos-anywhere (automatic partitioning & remote installation of new systems)
  • stylix (system-wide theming)
  • agenix (secret management)
  • impermanence (managing persistent data)
  • nixos containers for sandboxing applications & services (using systemd-nspawn)
• TMPFS as /
• LUKS
  • BTRFS as /nix (might try bcachefs)
  • SWAP partition (= RAM size, to susbend to disk)
• Greetd with TUIgreet (DM)
• SwayFX (WM)
• Kitty & foot (term)
• Nushell (shell)
• Helix (editor)
• Firefox (browser)
• slackhq/nebula (c.f. self-hosted tailscale, connecting my systems beyond double NATs)

EDIT1: fix "DE" -> "DM"
