15:19:22 <br-m> <riekak:matrix.org> What sites are y'all using monero on to buy equipment / gear?
15:20:16 <btcdwed> https://xmrbazaar.com/
15:44:19 <BlueyHealer> just warning there is a lot of AI slop including the banner :(
15:45:21 <btcdwed> in bazaar?
15:52:31 <BlueyHealer> yeah
16:08:50 <br-m> <ja4erp:lemox.xyz> “Does anyone know how I can sign up on monero.social? It tells me that registrations are disabled, but I’d like to know if there’s space for one more.
16:09:30 <br-m> <riekak:matrix.org> Has anyone use
16:09:30 <br-m> <riekak:matrix.org> citizen-erased.com?
16:26:59 <br-m> <riekak:matrix.org> @ja4erp:lemox.xyz: Im pretty sure its just temporarily disabled due to maintenance, they haven't said why but it is disabled ATM so I think you just have to wait and keep checking
16:28:42 <br-m> <ravfx:xmr.mx> Its been month if not years that its disabled
16:31:15 <br-m> <ravfx:xmr.mx> Problem with open registration is that the homeserver eventually get aids. Is also why mine are also disabled (i will allow people i know from the chat or ask a payment)
16:32:38 <br-m> <ravfx:xmr.mx> Asking for payment/donation for unknows is the best way to filter
16:33:27 <BlueyHealer> Imagine if they were registering to learn how to purchase your first XMR in the first place...
16:33:43 <BlueyHealer> I've also seen some Lemmy/Mastodon servers ask for short essays.
16:34:21 <Cindy> not just lemmy/mastodon
16:34:31 <Cindy> just fediverse in general (XMPP too)
16:35:14 <BlueyHealer> Not seen that on XMPP!
16:38:25 <Cindy> check out disroot :P
16:56:12 <nioc> can AI do short essays?  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
16:59:21 <sech1> Do AI Dream of Electric Sheep?
16:59:46 <br-m> <ravfx:xmr.mx> nioc: Yeah, and they pop out perfect syntax too
16:59:54 <Cindy> too perfec
17:00:00 <Cindy> too perfect though*
17:00:07 <Cindy> that's how they catch you
17:00:10 <sech1> You're absolutely right!
17:00:17 <Cindy> if it sounds too AI, you're not getting in
17:07:18 <nioc> @seen PKD
23:32:32 <max_farelli> hey guys, I have a quick question about running a monerod node (docs were not much helpful here), is running with public-node 1 required to accept incoming peer connections? Right now I have 0 incoming connections, outbound connections are full (18080 port is open, and I'm running no-igd=1), I do not want to open a restricted rpc port since I'm not
23:32:32 <max_farelli> sure I will maintain this node long term and I don't want to bother anyone.
23:51:19 <br-m> <ofrnxmr> max_farelli: no, it is not
23:52:10 <br-m> <ofrnxmr> You need to be able to accept incoming connections on your public ip address. Probably need to oort forward on your router
23:52:29 <br-m> <ofrnxmr> Or can try removing --no-igd and see if it does it automaotically
