Which path sounds better to you?
Monero
I have nothing against Bitcoin Cash. I just see no need for it.
The issue with Monero is that it cannot scale to world adoption levels.
It is fine as a niche coin for certain use cases and I like it as well but I have migrated to BCH as it is the future.
The stress test a year ago showed Monero tops out ~700k TX per day and node problems started around 300-500k. This is likely a fundamental flaw and will not be able to go much beyond this TX volume unless there is a complete redesign/rewrite.
BCH has good privacy with CashFusion and in a couple of years it will have 100% private tokens, we will have Monero as a token on BCH. This is much better because we get full access to all exchanges that BCH is on plus world scale and supreme privacy.
My bet is on BCH.
What GNU + Linux software could enable deep integration of backup, sync, and transfer; just as convenient and beginner-friendly (edit: and efficient) as what Apple provides?
- iCloud backup restore or peer-to-peer transfer, very early in the device setup process
- Two ways for things to be stored in iCloud, each with a corresponding list of per-app (not per-folder) toggle switches in iCloud Settings
- "Saved to iCloud" normal syncing
- Requires apps to use the right APIs and to handle conflicting changes
- Allows same data to be read and modified by multiple devices
- iCloud backup
- Available for all apps
- Separate backup per device
- Only downloaded when setting up a new device
- In app sandboxes, only excludes
tmp (Flatpak equivalent is somewhere in /run) and Library/Caches (equivalent to cache directory in Flatpak sandbox) by default- Allows apps to set
isExcludedFromBackup attribute for specific files (useful for things that are easy to recreate via download but are expected by the user to not be automatically deleted)- Includes system configuration such as home screen layout
- Backs up a list of installed apps without backing up their executables and assets
- Synced list of previously installed apps, not separate per-device

What a shit show to catch up to, but give em hell Iran! Fuck Israel!
like this
They hanged a man on the anniversary of Kian's death. Kian was a 10 year old who got shot by security forces.
So the IRI pinned the murder on someone else and hanged him.
Two years earlier Basijis first kidnapped a 16 year from the protests, then raped and beat her to death. They returned her body two weeks later, claiming she jumped off a building.
Those were two of the at least 551 deaths during those protests.
The US reported 19 deaths during the George Floyd protests. 19 too much. Not on the same scale as Iran. Domestically, those two are not (nah, were not, don't know what the Dons gonna do) comparable.
I have in-laws in Iran. That "crap" wasn't overblown, people got beaten and raped for protesting.
So yeah, Im not gonna cry about Iranian hits on Israeli industry or military bases, but I'm not gonna celebrate Iran either.
19 too much.
Weight until you hear how many people the US has murdered overseas. Though I know westerners don't care about foreigners.
True, lest not forget who has behind pretty much every recent conflict & escalation in the Middle East. Israeli influence in American politics is out of control:
c-span.org/clip/house-committe…
Allies don't draw you into provocative & endless wars so you can fight on their behalf. They don't use agents to black mail & control your politicians, & to influence your corporations & media. Nor do they buy them off or influence them to act against the interests of their people.
There is only one terrorist nation in the Middle East right now the US needs to worry about, and the least they could do is stop funding their genocides with tax payer money.
I don't see a source in your words.
Oh wait
I have in-laws in Iran. That “crap” wasn’t overblown, people got beaten and raped for protesting.
Just some second-hand hearsay, is that what passes for a source for you?
oh yeah , just some totally uncorroborated hearsay..

Iran protests: Security forces intensify deadly crackdown on Kurdistan region
Iran's clerical rulers have stepped up suppression of persistent anti-government protests in the country's Kurdish region, deploying troops and killing at least four demonstrators on Sunday, activists and rights groups said.MEE and agencies (Middle East Eye)
it’s not like Iran isn’t known for authoritarianism and human rights abuses.
Iran certainly has its problems, but they don’t hold a candle to Israel’s (or the US’s) human rights abuses.
Meanwhile Iran has as much right to develop nukes as any country: precisely zero.
Okay? Iran isn’t even developing any, while Israel has had hundreds for decades, which they developed in secret as a rogue state.
Iran certainly has its problems, but they don’t hold a candle to Israel’s (or the US’s) human rights abuses.
The only difference in their favor I can currently see is that they’re not actively bombing another country to the ground. Internally, the human rights situation is „just as fucked“ at least even if you only take into account what their government itself says.
The only reason Israel, America's attack dog in the Middle East, has started a war of aggression on Iran is because Iran dares to oppose US foreign policy in the region. Had Iran got nuclear weapons they would be able to continue doing so with impunity.
That's it. All of that human rights, authoritarianism bullshit is propaganda for you, the westerner, to get your support for this imperialist war. The Mullahs hang gays from cranes so Israel should vaporize everyone in Iran, including the gays? Women who don't want to wear headscarves are being tortured so we will bomb all their apartment buildings to rubble? An adult person with average intelligence should be able to see themselves through the logic that a war with Iran is not going to improve an Iranian's circumstances in any way. Do not support this war.
I'll try to say this delicately enough to not get banned...
The modlog (which also contains the full text of my post) cites as the reason for the removal of my post "rule 1" which according to the sidebar is "Be civil and nice."
I think they consider any criticism of the government of Iran to be "incivility" and/or "meanness".
(Hopefully I'm not misinterpreting the mods here. Mods, please feel free to step in and correct any such misrepresentation.)

Strikes on Iran ease pressure on Israel to end starvation in Gaza
In the hours after Israel attacked Iran, food shipments and distribution in Gaza stopped and a French-Saudi summit meant to pave the way for wider recognition of a Palestinian state was postponed indefinitely.
International pressure over starvation and civilian killings in Gaza had apparently dissipated in little more than the time it took for the smoke of the first missile strikes to clear over Tehran.
Israel’s military moved fast to declare Iran its top priority, with the battle for Gaza relegated to second place. That shift was echoed in foreign ministries and newsrooms around the world.

I’m accidentally becoming a #FediMerch guy.
Shiny stickers
Last year, I wrote a blog post, Fediverse for Freedom – which was about the importance of a free and open Fediverse, and how and why public institutions can support it. Since then, I’ve referred to this blog post in many of my talks and in conversations, and started to use the hashtag #FediverseForFreedom.
Ahead of FOSDEM back in February, I created some stickers to share – a Fediverse logo, overlaid with the text “I Am Part Of The Rebel Alliance #FediverseForFreedom”. They were quite a hit at the time, and since then I’ve used the same image in presentations. When people have seen them, I’ve quite often been asked where they came from.
Last week, Elena Rossini – writer of the fantastic The Future is Federated blog/newsletter, talented filmmaker and photographer, and (perhaps) the Fediverse’s Number One Fan – released a great, four minute video that both explains and promotes the Fediverse and open platforms not owned by billionaires1
videos.elenarossini.com/videos…
One of the stickers shows up in several shots of the the video, and once again, I heard that people would like to be able to get some for themselves.
A simple site
I’ve been wanting to make the stickers available for a while, but the release of the video finally pushed me into getting this done!
I’d recently bought some stickers myself, from the talented Robb Knight, and he mentioned that he used Stripe Payment Links for his site. I already had a Stripe account, so thought I’d try the same thing.
So: now you can visit fediverseforfreedom.org (.com points to .org), and click on a link to to get a handful of stickers shipped in your direction! You can also easily just tell your friends, “oh yeah, I got them from Fediverse For Freedom dot org”. Nice and straightforward.
There’s a bit more information about it all on that simple site, but I thought it might be interesting to write down a bit more about how I made it.
The site is running on Codeberg Pages. Previously I’ve put these kinds of one-off, single page sites up on GitHub Pages, or on Glitch. I’m feeling increasingly less comfortable about having all of my stuff on GitHub and hosted in the US; and, unfortunately, Glitch is going away soon (more on this in a future post). So in this case I chose Codeberg Pages, although I’m aware that they are themselves a platform that is currently in maintenance mode. I’m open to suggestions for similar sites, as I’ll need to migrate some Glitch apps somewhere very soon!
Apart from that: the whole operation is very low tech. Stripe Payment Links are convenient – Stripe itself can handle a huge variety of payment types – but, on the backend… it does not do much. No order acknowledgement emails, order management tools, or anything like that. All I get is a basic dashboard with information about the orders. I whipped up some simple Python that uses the Stripe API to grab the postal addresses of orders, and then creates SVG address labels for printing. The same code also grabs the email addresses so that I can send an email thanking the customer for the order.
In terms of shipping, that’s also a manual process – no “drop-shipping” here, I’m getting the stickers from my regular supplier (StickerApp), putting them in envelopes, and posting them out myself. That also means that delivery times will vary – although I had enough in stock to cover all of the initial orders, I’ve also been in Amsterdam for the past 3 days, so the first batch will go out on Monday.
One more thing I’m experimenting with here is GoatCounter, just to get a sense of traffic and interest. I didn’t want to put a load of invasive Google Analytics onto such a basic page, and I’ve had GoatCounter recommended to me a few times now – like Mastodon, it has also benefited from NLNet funding from the European Union in the past, and I wanted to see what was possible. It seems to do just what I wanted, whilst also being unintrusive.
What’s next?
Look… I don’t intend to become some kind of merch magnate, but I do know that some people share my own desire to display our commitment to the Fediverse and related causes, and if I can help folks to do so, then I will (did you know we already made a t-shirt? Elena has asked me for more in the same vein!).
If you want to look for other ways to show your support in public, and to give back to people or projects that work on tools that you use, take a look at the Awesome Fediverse Merch list that Jeff Sikes is curating. Plenty of options for everyone.
Finally – remember to support the creators of your favourite sites, services, and open source software directly, whenever you can!
- Remember, as I heard in a keynote at the PublicSpaces conference this week: “the Internet is currently controlled by four or five fucked up right wing white men” – it’s time to rewild the internet, and take ownership of our data and choices. ↩︎

How can we combine two audio recording inputs (mics) into one audio input source in Manjaro?
My partner and I are running Manjaro and very new to it. Trying to switch as much as possible over to daily use with Manjaro.
We have pipewire, not pulseaudio
We record multiple times a week on OBS, and my partner and I are in the same room. We have two mics side by side both inputs going into my PC. Linux, and therefore OBS, are recognizing the two mic inputs separately as you might expect.
OBS can set up both of these separate inputs, but the issue is we're having significant problems with echo and the noise suppression/noise gates are not sufficient.
This was not an issue on windows, where we used Voicemeeter to combine our inputs into one mic for OBS. I am looking to emulate that on Linux to see if it solves our problems.
We have tried a mic merge sink, but it creates an OUTPUT device, not an input device.
SOLUTION:
QPWGraph was the answer (or something like it, Helvum was also recommended) While it looks intimidating at first you just need to understand it's a series of outputs and inputs and you play mix and match. This allowed us to take the outputs of the mics and connect them directly to a single OBS mic source. This 100% did all that Voicemeeter was doing for us, and the results were also the same.
We do not experience echo, overlap, feedback, or any of the issues we were having by adding the two mics separately in OBS. Our issue was NOT the setup, as some people focused on here. As soon as we got the mics going into that same input, all was good and we successfully ran a recording session 100% in Manjaro.
In the end, this did everything we wanted from Voicemeeter + MORE, as I can now isolate different outputs as well. So for instance in recordings I can manage the volume of discord and the background music separately. So this was an amazing solution and the result was exactly what was needed, and ultimately was much easier than Voicemeeter.
Thank you to those here that recommended it, and the people at the Manjaro forums.
like this
I've just created an OBS audio capture device, then opened qpwgraph and put both mic's into it.
It should do what you want, but I am not sure that will fix the problem. Give it a shot and let us know.
I definitely recommend playing around with easyeffects a bit more as well.

If I didn't know any better, I'd suspect 'ml' is run by , but that's just wild speculation based on tons of coincidences. No hard evidence.
Edit2:
I've censored myself as I'm fully aware I'll get completely and immediately censored if I try to imply a certain country may be directing things here.
I mean it seems like you do not understand the rule that keeps getting cited, the reason russian gets removed when used as an insult is often times it is used in a racist or atleast racist adjacent way, and so the way .ml has decided to deal with that is that it just, isnt an insult, that is not that you can never critisize the russian federation ever, but you cannot use russian as an insult, because agian it is often used racistly or atleast racist adjacent.
Edit: If you would like proof I am more than happy if asked to levy a critisism of the Russian Federation and then you can report it and we will see if it gets taken down

Graphene OS Situation
I know the generall guidance for private phones was Pixel with graphene OS. I was financially planing on buying a 10th gen pixel when they come out later this year to only put gos on it.
However with the recent news, I am wondering if this is still the recommended best practice from this community.
I am worried that if the gos team needs to spend tonnes of ressources on maintaining basic drivers and stuff then they won't have any time to work on the privacy and security features they are best known for.
What is your oppinion?
Also does anyone have a way to dpam feedback to google? I couldn't finf a generall feedback form, but if they know that people aren't buying their hardware because of this decision, they might back down. (I really fell in love with gos researching it lately so I would hate to have to switch to something like /e/ os or calyx or something)
like this
OK First thing GOS team is currently assuming that Pixel 10+ won't meet their requirements. But for older Pixels it's tough. Google just stopped sharing vendor blob, device tree, and instead of openly developing AOSP now it is fully behind close doors only releasing source later with full update. But I have hope. I've been daily driving custom ROMs for 10+ years and before I could afford Pixel I had cheap phones which also didn't share any of these things but custom ROMs were very much thriving and they will always. Yes there may be a little more delay for new devices. All the new features may take longer but GOS already has a lot of security and privacy stuff figured out.
I think we should all support however we can to not just GOS but also other Custom ROMs. Because there will always be those who'll stop society from progressing and all we can do is fight back with donations, our time, and resources.

Despite the well-preserved site, modern waste such as soda cans and yogurt containers were observed near the wreck, and this has already posed questions about sea pollution even at extreme depths. The researchers have thus considered incorporating environmental awareness and anti-pollution studies into their ongoing research and public outreach.

Well, yeah, but what is the motive for the terrorism, I mean.
Terrorism is violence with a political goal. So what is the political goal of this?

"No Space For Bezos": Why Venice Locals Are Against The Billionaire's Wedding
"No Space For Bezos": Why Venice Locals Are Against The Billionaire's Wedding
Activists have ramped up their "No space for Bezos" campaign after Luigi Brugnaro, Venice's millionaire mayor, confirmed in March that the couple would be getting married in the city.Anushree Jonko (NDTV)
Activists have ramped up their "No space for Bezos" campaign after Luigi Brugnaro, Venice's millionaire mayor, confirmed in March that the couple would be getting married in the city.The locals erected a banner reading "No Bezos" on the bell tower of San Giorgio basilica on the Venetian island of San Giorgio, where the couple is rumoured to be exchanging vows.
According to a report by the NYT, Federica Toninello, a protest organiser, said that one of the venues could be The Misericordia, a former charity turned events hall. But she said that Bezos will never get to the venue. "Bezos will never get to the Misericordia," she said, adding, "We will line the streets with our bodies, block the canals with lifesavers, dinghies and our boats."
Na Haby Stella Faye, another protester, said, "We have a chance to disrupt a ten million dollar wedding - let's do it."

in reply to 3abas • • •From I've seen they certainly used that initially with mostly older, cheaper, and slower drones in the initial waves intentionally to bleed out the iron dome but have been changing their strategy as the "Iron Dome" is weakened and/or gaps are discovered.
With each wave they adjust their strategy. Interspersing more Hypersonics and layering the drones in different patterns/locations to more readily distract/avoid the iron dome.
From estimated ratios of 9 impacts out of/150 launched in the first few waves vs 9/50 in the more recent waves.
Though obviously Israel hides the damage/strikes through media blackouts on military sites so we can't know for sure how accurate these estimates are and we mainly only get reporting on impacts in Tel-Aviv or other militarized "civilian" zones.

in reply to IttihadChe • • •Oh for sure, I'm just saying they don't even need to hit any targets and they'd still be winning long term. They are capable of much more, and Israel can't fight Iran without US.
Satanyahu is betting on forcing Trump to agree to war with Iran on his watch. Avoiding that is thankfully one of Trump's main priorities, hopefully they don't succeed in changing his calculus on it.
And they aren't able to and won't be able to maintain media blackout much longer, Iran has stated that they will keep going and will go harder, and we've already seen some seriously damaged neighborhoods. As long as Iran keeps it reasonable (and what is reasonable has changed tremendously in the last two years of genocide and western media going hard to defend and justify Israeli war crimes), I think Trump can tolerate way more destruction of Tel Aviv than netanyahu thought he would.

Israel has made bombings and terrorism become normal for people in yemen, lebanon, syria and Iraq. Israel has made the lives of millions unsafe in the middleeast.
Germany, UK you created Israel government and the US enabled its colonization and genocide since day 1. Europe should take them back or stop them.
In 2025, the humans of the world nations still compete in every scientific advancement known to mankind, and mine every precious and rare material source, and employ every advancement and investment in programming, AI, engineering and design on the planet for intimidation and colonization launching metals into each other bodies, polluting and destroying the planet climate and resources, spreading pain and murder to each other for selfish gain. Now those maniacs are threatening with nuclear missiles. People who do everything in their power and utilize everything in the possession to bring humanity and the world down.
All because they want few Zionists to rule in aparthied and colonization and not give democracy to whom they see as inferior races of other humans instead of working and lifting each other. The world nations should stop this instead of heading toward WWIII as if humans cant learn history.

Please apply the same logic to sympathizing with civilians who are not responsible for Likud's actions, a large proportion of whom have also been protesting against the party in the past year.
The current Israeli administration is ruthless and bloodthirsty and it's diminishing the should of it's people. That being said, I don't think any major power in the world, including China and Russia are sad to see Iran's nuclear program get set back.

This could be bloodless, but unfortunately the state will not allow that
shoo
in reply to arrow74 • • •Nobody expects the state to relinquish power without violence, but that doesn't mean it's OK to cheer clips of massive explosions within lethal range of civilian houses.
I have yet to see anyone share hard evidence that these are targeted at military areas, let alone actually hitting them. Just a bunch of equivocation about military reserves and public opinion polls. Isreal rightfully caught shit for their pager attack being too indiscriminate but an explosion clearing half a city block isn't?
arrow74
in reply to shoo • • •I think you're forgetting differences in military capabilities.
Israel can be more selective in it's targets in Gaza, but they deliberately chose hospitals. Iran, the nation defending itself, has to send large missile barrages to try and break through the iron dome defense. Those will be less precise
shoo
in reply to arrow74 • • •I don't see how that makes a difference? Israel bombing civilians with precision doesn't make imprecise bombing of civilians more acceptable. Everyone ends up just as dead. It just makes it more palatable for people who value retribution above civilian lives.
To put it another way: if you want to hit a military target but can't do so without outsized collateral damage, you don't have ethical grounds to make the attack. You don't see people defending the USA's use of Agent Orange in Vietnam just because it was the only feasible way to clear foliage.

Also the US was the invader during the Vietnam War so that's a bad example all around

Show me the evidence that these missiles are falling on targets with strategic importance; show me that they're making efforts to not waste human lives. It's clear that Israel's attacks are not and they're rightly called out for it. Why is Iran above the same scrutiny?
Why is it a bad example? Does being the defender in a war make you immune to war crimes? It's indiscriminate killing of non combatants either way.

These are fascists. If there’s anything to be learned from WWII, it’s that no one is more antifascist than communists.
Palestinians don’t have a nation. They’ve been under occupation by European settler-colonists for about 80 years.
Palestinians have the right under UN law to struggle against their occupiers by any means necessary, including armed struggle, while the State of Israel, as an occupier, has no right to “self defense.”
As for Iran, it is an anti-imperialist state retaliating against an unprovoked attack by an imperialist state, which it has the right to do by UN law. Marxist-Leninists give Iran our critical support1 in the struggle against imperialist states, not to mention the struggle against genocide.

in reply to davel • • •Holy fuck you don't even know what a nation is lmfao
If you knew anything about WW2, you'd know that strategic bombing of population centers was a futile effort that wasted lives. Allies and Axis both admitted it, and the Allies even stuck to day bombing to limit collateral damage.
I've been asking up and down this thread for any context on what these bombs hit, any evidence at all, and all I get is equivocation like yours.
Your "critical support" isn't very critical at all, it's pretty one dimensional. Isreal bombs a population center: bad. Iran bombs an Isreal population center: good. I've seen no depth beyond that.
davel
in reply to shoo • • •I do, actually, but since you were the one talking about nations’ flags, I assumed that you didn’t know the difference between a nation and a state. Israeli Zionists clearly do know the difference, and they want an ethnically-cleaned, “Greater Israel” nation-state. Because they’re settler-colonialists; they’re fascists.
No, they did it in order to hit their targets, which were often cities. The US also dropped two atomic bombs on city centers with no warning at all.
Obviously neither one is “good.” You’re putting words in my mouth.

in reply to davel • • •You're just wildly incorrect on all fronts here.
A nation is not a nation state, and a population doesn't have to be a sovereign state to have a flag.
Exactly, to limit collateral damage. Germany (and the RAF's night bombing, to be fair) also targeted cities with strategic war industries, they just cared more about their pilots' safety than civilian lives.
I'm not at all, I'm pointing out the lack of criticism for clips like the one above. There's not even reserved judgment until we know what got hit and who died, just full throated support based only on the name of the city being bombed. I'm the only one here wanting evidence that these attacks are targeting anything of value and limiting non combatant deaths.
Remember when Israel was criticized for half-hearted pamphlet dropping to warn of barrages? All the scorn at Israel's reports of the use of human shields? The outrage over bombing population centers and refugee camps allegedly hiding rockets? Zionists saying Palestinians deserved bombing because they elected Hamas and had parties celebrating Oct 7 and X% of Palestines supported Y?
I'm seeing the exact same comments in reverse. Just read the comments on this post. But this time nobody bats an eye because the "right" people are dying.

How many residents have fired a weapon against a Palestinian? 30% if you're being generous? That's about the same as the population of children.
You're OK with those odds? Or does your form of communism always cheer at indiscriminate death so long as some of the right people get caught in it? If X% of the population drinks the apartheid propoganda kool-aid it's open season? What's your number?

Israel is obviously filled with genocidal people, and those who support genocide are not going to get my sympathy, but there are those who are actively fighting it even. So I do feel sympathy for innocent people dying because of genocidal governments and their need to bomb every living thing around them.

I remember a video of an Israeli rocket hitting just outside a shop window in Yemen/Iran at a similar distance and people were balking that it could be hitting anything of strategic importance. Suddenly pictures of collapsed apartments and hospitals are fine because it's the guys you don't like?
Apparently it's a bad take for me to think civilians shouldn't be bombed regardless of how much Zionist brainwashing they have. People talking about "they deserve it" and pointing to Isreal opinion polls showing 60% support X awful thing. Last time I checked, a rocket doesn't take a survey before it explodes. So 4/10 people in that explosion deserve to die by association?
