<e​scapismgalore:matrix.org> what's the plan when github decides (or is forced) to ban the monero repos? is it realistic to move the repo hosting to tor completely and would there be a trustworthy host?

It would be problematic if there was only one host anyway...

I bet the CIA/shithub is pretty happy 'hosting' monero

we have so many mirrors it's like being in a funhouse

<e​scapismgalore:matrix.org> guess they'd have fast servers. devs just need good opsec.

<e​scapismgalore:matrix.org> hope they're in safe jurisdictions

<3​21bob321:monero.social> There is over 9000 mirrors of the repo

<s​mk:private.coffee> 70% of them will vanish the moment a single one receives and discloses a government request.

<s​mk:private.coffee> luckily, all anyone needs is one.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> hi ofrnxmr

<w​aywardson:matrix.org> Found why I was getting slow RPC responses. I am hosting monero on a hard drive, I calculate with dd average seek times of 50ms.

<w​aywardson:matrix.org> Found out why I was getting slow RPC responses. I am hosting monero on a hard drive, I calculate with dd average seek times of 50ms.

<w​aywardson:matrix.org> Many of the public monero node checkers will consider a response longer than a few second as timeout

<w​aywardson:matrix.org> To mitigate this monerod can be set to have less p2p peers, which would reduce seeking to new parts of the blockchain when peers try to download the blockchain

<w​aywardson:matrix.org> basically the amount of in peers you had would be the number of locations your drive would seek to (monerod downloads the blockchain sequentially)

<b​asses:matrix.org> they have gitlab and some contributor is selfhosting a forejo (Gitea) instance

<b​asses:matrix.org> with mirror for all monero projects

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> I have a mirror as well

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> Wownero has a mirror

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> Gitea, on tor

<b​asses:matrix.org> feel free to mirror monero source code anywhere

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> No, git.wownero.com was deprecated and they moved to codeberg.

I2P FTW.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> How to deanonymize mullvad in 1 step: send a lawful order

<k​evino:tchncs.de> stop offtopic bus !

<k​evino:tchncs.de> :)

<k​evino:tchncs.de> stop mullvad talk

<k​evino:tchncs.de> stop offtopic mullvad talk

<k​evino:tchncs.de> anything which adda monero support becomes anonymous 🙄

<k​evino:tchncs.de> any service which adda monero support becomes anonymous 🙄

<k​evino:tchncs.de> any service which adds monero support becomes anonymous 🙄

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Thanks ofrnxmr for stretching my talk. Not surprising coming from you

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I never said such things

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> And you know that

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I just said that mullvad marketing campaign was epic

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> And you transformed into "Mullvad > Tor"

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Grow some brain cell

Not you lolol

<k​evino:tchncs.de> any service which adds monero support becomes anonymous 🙄 🤌

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Who were you talking to?

Rando

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Oh

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I'm sorry for the misunderstanding

Npnp

Kevino, youre being sarcastic?

Theres nothing anonymous when your vps provider knows the source (your ip) and destination

The destination might not know the source, but the vpn provider knows both source and dest

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> VPN is inherent trust

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> And I trust mullvad

<k​evino:tchncs.de> who are you explaining ofrn ? 🤔

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Blame me

<k​evino:tchncs.de> yes ser 🫡

"VPN is inherent trust" << ty for summarizing 💯🫡

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> back in the game

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> mullvad is way more secure than i2p and tor

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> nice to know they dont track ur activity by not keeping logs

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> And the shit takes have begun!

"mullvad is way more secure than i2p and tor" << again, is this sarcasm?? Lol

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> mullvad never got anyone in trouble, but i2p just leaks out ur ip and tor has failed many times

Its borderline dangerous to be spreading such terrible "advice" in public

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> german federal police have cracked tor. stop it fed bot

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> use mullvad

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> Must be an impersonator, or he has decided to go full retard.

thinking a regulated and centralized entity is not going to give you up is something more ridiculous than naive

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> no logs

#trustmebro

"private dot coffe" home server

Thanks plow

It is an imposter lmao

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> rottenwheel youre a disappointment and you have ruined this community

ofrnxmr / kewbit imposter is back

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> I don't think it is an impersonator...

It is

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> I think he went full retard.

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> you make my blood boil

They made ofrnxmr account and tried to spread malware the other day

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> im going to take another walk

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> plowsof what's wrong with private.coffee?

<s​iren:kernal.eu> Hey at least he has humor

nothing inherently wrong with a homeserver. there was an "ofrnxmr" impersonator asking people to run a shell script the other day. with a kewbit profile picture, now this.. and kewbit already has a matrix account in this room (morg)

Asking ppl to inspect basicswsp shell script in one room, snd asking them to inspect haveno installer in another

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> from recommending wrong privacy concerns, not paying ccs and now spreading rumors

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> monero has fallen

kewbit2 is some special sort of imposter

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> I'd ping the original kewbit but what a waste of time that would be. It's like reading that other heckler. 😂

Does research like some 9-5 fed

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> kewbit what you opening pm for? We're here. Say it here.

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> offtopic. be a man and respond. if you arent stop harassing me and smearing my ccs campaign

he seems to be making great points, i think we can give this alt a chance!

keep it up and we'll keep withholding your ccs payment

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> Lol, harassing you? Fuck you.

Plowsof told me "i wont pay kewbit. Over my dead body!"

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> Your 'main' was ignored two days ago and I had the decency of informing you.

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> i have bills to pay and youre fucking over my life over internet clout

Too bad. Fuck yo bills

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> diego, you, and who can forget the shadow core cabal

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> Omg!!! He's going to die from starvation!

Lets move to #monero-offtopic

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> Told you, girls, he didn't sound like an impersonator.

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> The pseudo mod hits again. 😂😂😂

It is an imposter 🫠

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> showing your true fucking colours dude

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> again

who

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> 🙄🙄🙄

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> Were your mom always at work when you were growing up?

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> mileston 1

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> milestone 1

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> how fucking hard is it to pay out i have submitted everything

Offtopic

Fuck yo milestone, kewbit2

<k​ewbit:private.coffee> sorry nice to get that off my chest

Send your monero addr

and sign it w pgp key 😂 (rip)

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> Got paid two days ago. He gives himself away that easy... repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/c…245d4ee0bc92afaa81c01f14b03aacaafa4

Ye. Thats what i was saying.. fed does research like this his his 9-5 job

Not the first time he showed up knowing too much but still missing key details

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Guys next time take screenshot his messages looked fun

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> No u.

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> Hit libera.monerologs.net if that wets your panties.

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Tru tru

<k​ewbit:matrix.org> wtf

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> wtf

<k​ewbit:matrix.org> is this shit now

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> is this shit now

<k​ewbit:matrix.org> who owns private.coffee is that supposed to represent an actual domain

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> there was someone impersonating you

<k​ewbit:matrix.org> btw, if you ever need to verify me if someone is actually me then use my public key and encrypt a message, if its me I can tell you what the message says, any one else wouldnt be able to: kewbit.org/public-key

<k​ewbit:matrix.org> btw, if you ever need to verify if someone is actually me then use my public key and encrypt a message, if its me I can tell you what the message says, any one else wouldnt be able to: kewbit.org/public-key

<k​ewbit:matrix.org> and is anchored on the getmonero.org repo too repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/c…als/-/merge_requests/489#note_26721

<b​asses:matrix.org> just add your socials on your website

<b​asses:matrix.org> and use keyoxide.org

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> After fcmp we should also lower conf to 5 , 20min restricts velocity of money

<k​ewbit:matrix.org> I've added my twitter to the website, everything else I dont use, I cant really use reddit because it expects a residential IP and I've configured a tripple NAT'ted VPN setup where I work from

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Did imposter kewbit even use the correct PfP?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Monero.social is broken so i cant see a lot of pfp. Appears blank to me.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> asking because they DID use kewbits pfp when trying to impersonate me 😅

<k​evino:tchncs.de> so it was a troll impersonator ?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Yes, ofc

If your safety depends on the good will of one service, it's a bad OPSEC, not a bad service.

But yeah, for some cases the browsing data being in another jurisdiction, especially unfriendly, is enough.

<s​mk:private.coffee> i'm not saying mullvad's better than tor or anything like that, but... you should see how they've handled lawful orders in the past.

<s​mk:private.coffee> there have been attempted seizures of their (and riseup's) equipment

<s​mk:private.coffee> the people doing the seizures were quite disappointed with what they found (no disk in the machines)

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> what are you saying

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> i use mullvad, i'm using it right now, and my name is kewbit

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> liar im kewbit

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> you are the decoy

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Only on tuesdays

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> oh my bad

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> sorry kewbit

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> i mean me

<s​mk:private.coffee> i'm saying there are ways for centralized entities to prove they are trustworthy.. but those ways are trial-by-fire, and if you're even slightly concerned about those things happening, you probably shouldn't be using them in the first place.

<s​mk:private.coffee> not every centralized entity is inherently evil. they just have the opportunity to be.

<s​mk:private.coffee> the best solution is still to not use them at all, but if one chooses to use one, mullvad's far from a bad choice.

<j​ack_ma_blabla:matrix.org> did something break ? or is someone accepting 0-conf txs , seeing double spend tx stuck in mempool almost on a daily basis

<i​mprevisto:matrix.org> what's the reason for unlock time? to prevent short-term forks/attacks from working?

<i​mprevisto:matrix.org> and why is the block number changeable in unlock time?
