:disputed: bitcoin is not actually dead #fakenews

Again, I don't use nostr, and I don't use VPNs, so no, I wouldn't use a nostr VPN.

Just didn't load. A whole pile of javascript maybe?

>we administer a public Github repository of the changes we apply to make it better. github-only project = dead in the water, no one should use this crap

seems broken to me

First of all, because it's an internet standard, unlike any particular VPN -- all networks should implement scenic routing and all systems should support rfc7686, rfc7511 etc Secondly : because there is no central point of failure, unlike VPNs, the tor network is designed with security *from the tor network itself* in mind. Generally VPNs are a trusted third party - and trusted third parties *are security holes*. https://nakamotoinstitute.org/library/trusted-third-parties/ Thirdly: because we know it works, and was good enough against passive surveillance that the NSA had to do stuff like attack lower hanging fruit like the TBB instead of the network Fourthly, because it's free software and explicitly used in places where vpns fail, anyway [obfs bridges].

>For the low cost of $0 you can generate a key on Nostr and be completely self sovereign I'll look into that more, sure. Every time I look into nostr it's mostly github-dependent, relatively complex code but I'll take another look. In the meanwhile, the people who are going to be joining my fediverse instance are *not* going to do this. They don't know what a 'key' is and won't be learning anytime soon. You can keep getting others to be self-sovereign, that's fine, I'm going to work on reaching people who are stuck on linkedin/facebook.

Because my budget is spoken for until the end of october, due to unrelated-to-fediverse stuff, and so no domain name purchase yet

I don't use nostr, and I don't use VPNs, only tor.

> Stop using the Fediverse Fuck no. > But I can't stop github from existing You can stop actively sharing github links , ie by sharing https://gitworkshop.dev links instead of github for projects

Should default to tor instead if it's going to default to anything. :tor:

did they really have that many users?? Microsoft buying github/npm was a big deal, I'm not seeing it compare to that.

Work for a living, providing a good or service to customers.

stop using github!

sparrow wallet seems to be github only = no one should use sparrow wallet
