12:09:24 which mobile xmr wallet is recommended? should be open-source, audited and secure 12:13:26 Monerujo or Cake wallet 12:13:37 I'm not sure about "audited" 12:13:41 both are open source 15:00:09 I don't think any of the wallets have had a recent audit. 15:00:56 Wownero is now live on Stack Wallet if you wanted to try it out. nioc and others 15:01:10 Android only atm. Having a couple issues with iOS. 15:54:29 "Android only atm. Having a..." <- I use ios for just calling and texting, all the other app shit is on graphene 15:55:12 if i have to call people I at least want it to be reliable, anything internet related android can do fine 15:56:36 Sounds reasonable. 15:56:49 Does Stack work on graphene? Haven't checked yet. 15:57:17 Idk haven't used it 15:57:28 I'll give it a look. 15:58:32 I have one profile for security related things and another thats named "google play services", so that even if google play is sandboxed in the OS I don't want it fucking up and somehow being able to reach files within the same profile 15:59:06 So for anything installed from aurora is in a different profile 15:59:41 I'm assuming you use FDroid also, yeah? 15:59:59 So the things you don't have to get from Google Play you don't have to. 16:00:27 Yeah 16:00:32 I always go to fdroid first 16:01:00 * KNNY[m] uploaded an image: (166KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/JAscozmPeYdrkplarNAuutWI/Screenshot_20220930-090047.png > 16:01:07 App drawer check πŸŒοΈβ€β™‚οΈπŸ€ͺ 16:01:39 NewPipe any good?

I re-installed Windows 10 recently, and it uses 10-30% of CPU when doing absolutely NOTHING, with my new computer, while Ubuntu with GNOME (a very heavy desktop environment) uses 2-3% 18:40:03 You are just spoiled at how de-bloted any version of linux is 18:40:36 gunslinger_zach[: Or just at how Windows sucks 18:40:57 Windows 7 didn't use that much CPU 18:41:04 Yep but you don’t notice it until you make Linux you daily driver 18:41:04 * much CPU anyway 18:41:14 Windows 10 has tons of crap running in background by default 18:41:35 Who knows? Windows might be actually cryptomining, since it's closed-source there is no way to know 18:42:09 Try to find in Task Manager what uses CPU 18:42:39 Considering that Microsoft is a publicly Traided company, they may have to disclose that kind of revenue 18:44:45 "Do you think Windows has any..." <- https://nnmclub.to 18:44:45 Windows 10 LTSC by Paxweaver 18:44:45 Great job to cut off spying 18:44:45 System do nothing 18:45:10 > <@xtiveangels:matrix.sp-codes.de> https://nnmclub.to...

Windows might be..." <- Lol 21:18:01 You would know if Windows was cryptomining 21:18:24 It's probably easier to insert a cryptominer in an opensource project than in Windows 21:19:06 Proof of concept randomx sniffer from tevador https://github.com/tevador/randomx-sniffer 21:21:02 although number 2: modify operating system .. but i'd agree with RavFX 21:21:29 That's an interesting project. It helps prevent theft of CPU resources. 21:22:48 Crackpot Hypothesis: Windows implements this in their OS and then geolocates all Monero miners using Windows OS and shuts them down. Lol. I understand that this is highly unlikely (at least in the short term) 21:23:26 -1000 Fed Coin Credit Score haha 21:24:55 They could implement that in Windows and stop removing chunk of monero wallet with there anti virus.... 21:24:56 Instead if it detect mining it could tell you " We detected mining operation on you're system, is this one of you're making [ ] remember. 21:24:56 Then it could remember the binarie doing the mining and stop naging you about it, except if you choose no and in that case it could remove the unauthorized cryptominer 21:25:37 If you get a different miner it would detect it because it's a different binarie and ask you again 21:26:07 Could get rid of most unauthorized mining while stopping messing with people Monero installation 21:27:29 The project is a good tool in my opinion. As it enables people to detect when they are being stolen from. I am conspiracy oriented and elaborated on how the project could be deployed by Microsoft to attack Monero. 21:28:05 I don't think microsoft can attack more Monero with that. I mean, they already know when you install Monero anyway 21:29:14 Good point. I feel like an idiot for forgetting that haha. They could just geolocate everyone who has downloaded any Monero based software haha 21:29:25 Microsoft is a for profit corporation, they don't give a fsck about what you do with the OS but they don't like malware tainting there name because people associate Windows with Virus 21:31:39 And comparing now with 15 years ago, Microsoft did a wonderful job as far as malware management 21:32:42 That makes sense. I agree with you that presently Microsoft might not care much about what you are doing with their OS, but I think there is a decent chance of a government crackdown and the government will use Big Tech to surveil and target the masses (within the next 10 years). 21:34:50 But gouvernment can also inject spy stuff in opensource software.... (full message at ) 21:35:03 s/and/in/ 21:35:59 How is it possible for a government to inject spy stuff into Opensource software? 21:36:14 Monero utilization can be detected at ISP level. They don't need to picky back into you're OS. 21:36:28 True. 21:36:48 ISPs are a more effective point of control for the government. 21:36:49 fr33_yourself[m]: open a github account and commit 21:36:49 Or better, Login with some nice good old dev account that got hacked and commit from his? 21:37:39 I see. And they actually succeeded in doing this to Linux three times in the past? Also what is the "RC" you referred to? 21:38:01 Way easier than hacking into the Microsoft internal repository to place the backdoor. 21:38:01 Plus no microsoft dev have access to all the code, they all have access to the specific subsystem they know best and work on these. 21:38:01 You won't see a NTKRNL.exe DEV working on the taskbar 21:38:28 RC mean Release candidate. 21:38:28 It's when the kernel get released as beta so more people can test it 21:39:02 they usually have 7 to 9 RC before the kernel is deamed stable and incorporated into the many distributions 21:39:24 one RC per two week 21:39:25 one point release per week 21:39:43 I see, but I don't understand all of that terminology haha 21:41:35 The difference is that with Linux, everyone have access to all the code 21:41:35 Everyone can try to sneak a backdoor into a part of the code. 21:41:35 And there is not only the kernel, a normal linux distribution need at minimum like 200 dependencies. You only need to backdoor a widely used one 21:42:14 The kernel and some base libs are widely audited so the risk is lower, but the risk is still present 21:42:24 Your point is that ISPs are a more effective point of control than operating systems, correct? If so, just how censorship resistant are cryptocurrencies really? They are dependent on the condition that there will always be at least one geographical location that doesn't restrict how people use the internet, right? 21:43:30 RavFX[m]: Which do you think is easier to backdoor, Linux or Windows? Also which do personally use and why? 21:43:50 Well, some ISP have to record what you connect to and keep the log for a few year. 21:43:50 Just grep every connection to port 1808* then you know exactly who is using Monero in your country (assuming they have country wide data collection laws) 21:43:50 Of course, people using VPN and TOR are immune, kinda 21:45:29 fr33_yourself: I would say, the risk is the same: 21:45:29 * Linux is easier to backdoor because everyone can try to do it. 21:45:29 * Windows can have serious bugs that 3 letter agencies know about and abuse them for years 21:46:26 > <@al800:0wnz.at> Well, some ISP have to record what you connect to and keep the log for a few year.... (full message at ) 21:46:31 And I see more damage using opensource software, for example when that stupid guy decided to patch a npm very used depandancy to add code to detect you're IP. Russian IP = Delete everything you have, yay! 21:47:26 Many time people make malware in Python and Nodejs dependencies. Because it's easy! 21:48:14 Rucknium[m]: That's nice actually 21:48:23 > <@al800:0wnz.at> Well, some ISP have to record what you connect to and keep the log for a few year.... (full message at ) 21:49:25 Rucknium[m]: That is good. I think he is trying to encrypt the traffic between nodes or something like this? 21:49:33 We need better way to obfuscate what you are doing on the net. 21:49:33 and if using VPN, exit on where they don't give a fsck or exit in a country that have opposed alignement to you're country. 21:49:33 You are an american? Use a Russian VPN. 21:49:33 You are chinese? Use a American VPN.. 21:50:45 The best is to make it so it does look like something else. 21:50:45 Can they just initiate client->node and node->node a la TLS on port 443? 21:50:59 that way it will look like other encrypted https traffic 21:51:18 using a specific port is really giving the information away to the ISP 21:52:00 So in practice, people in China bypass their internet restrictions by purchasing and connecting to US VPN services or by using TOR with a bridge? Or some combination thereof? 21:53:09 Kindof. 21:53:09 they just need vpn or tor and exit not in china. 21:53:09 BUT china gonna know you are using a VPN, what if they have good relation to you're VPN exit country and ask them the info. 21:53:09 If the US gouv ask Russia about my IP, Russia will tell them to fsck off 21:53:30 And Russia have no power on me, they are on another contient 21:53:37 s/contient/continent/ 21:54:13 > <@al800:0wnz.at> We need better way to obfuscate what you are doing on the net.... (full message at ) 21:54:32 Having a VPN exiting in a unfriendly country to you're country prevent you're country receiving response from the other country 21:54:59 They can't 21:54:59 Except if the execute the splinternet plan 21:56:27 WEF talked about the splinternet as a way to lower the risk of cyber attack 21:56:27 to make it simple, you have one internet for america, one internet for latin america, one internet for europe. 21:56:27 All connection between theses are based on whitelist only. 21:56:27 That way it prevent information circulating all around (that's probably the real reason, cyberattack are the excuse they gonna use if they are going to execute that plan) 21:56:32 > <@al800:0wnz.at> Kindof.... (full message at ) 21:57:19 Non, they don't care much actually. 21:57:19 You can just buy a Hong Kong SIM, and use it totally unfiltered in china, access everything without a VPN 21:58:09 > <@al800:0wnz.at> WEF talked about the splinternet as a way to lower the risk of cyber attack...

How do you know this by the way? Do you have friends/contacts that live in China? I was under the impression that it was much worse there (like police questioning you if they find out you are using a VPN) 21:59:44 RavFX[m]: Gotcha. That is good info 22:00:45 fr33_yourself[m]: For a matter, yes, I do have friends there.... (full message at ) 22:00:56 My understanding regarding the Monero network's persistence is correct though right? As long as there is some place in the world where nodes can be maintained without getting "whacked" then we are good? 22:01:29 Yeah, as long as we don't have a splinternet, monero should be totally unstoppable. 22:02:34 > <@al800:0wnz.at> For a matter, yes, I do have friends there....

Thanks for explaining the consequences of that. Fingers crossed we don't have to face that scenario in the future. 22:08:19 Rucknium[m]: Haha good one 22:08:33 RavFX[m]: U're one step from intergalactic warfare. 22:08:42 We need to setup mesh network that cross border, and that is faster than Lora πŸ˜„ 22:08:42 The satellites are a good idea actually 22:09:20 Rav, if you don't mind my asking what do you do for a living? 22:09:46 You seem very knowledgeable regarding tech 22:10:00 I just do code and get paid with and accumulate the monero 22:10:42 No monero, no code 22:11:55 RavFX[m]: Who do you code for? Are you free-lance? Do you ever find yourself without projects to work on? And what type of development do you do? 22:12:44 Free lance but I have big profile customers. 22:12:44 Quite surprised I was actually able to get them to pay me that way lol 22:13:25 For now I'm kind of fully booked because I have projects of my own too 22:13:56 Nice. Sounds like a good gig. 22:14:00 I can do c++ and web shiet 22:14:04 How long have you been programming for? 22:15:15 Programming for crypto, since 2017 ish 22:15:15 That was after like 7 years of no "work" at all 22:16:00 But I got bored and I wanted more 22:16:03 So you spent 7 years learning to program. And have only been doing it for income since 2017? 22:16:32 is something broken, i appear to have access to your private messages 22:16:58 yeah, maybe I should stfu lol 22:17:17 Sorry for blowing up the chat. I was just curious. 22:17:44 Anyways, thanks for all of your answers RavFX 22:19:48 RavFX[m]: Now go open your door for fr33_yourself[m], he's anxious to meet you.
