welcome to the linux side :3
not with trollstore
how did we get to this point?
theres a few who do, the activity is centered around irc and the forums.
paid a friend over lightning about a week ago :3
Sorry for swingingkoala, i promise we're not all this unhelpful x3
Never said you need ASIC, just said that bitcoin is not democratic, because the average Joe does not participate in mining.
Not quite, as the network is governed by the participating nodes, not just the nodes with miners attached to them. You can produce all the blocks you want, but if they dont comply with the rules they wont be accepted. A good article explaining governance is here.
There are many countries, where bitcoin use maybe could be used as an alternative to “dollarization”. Yet the only time I actually saw it happening was during the Ukraine invasion, when Russians traded roubles to bitcoin after leaving the country, since their currency more or less collapsed in the international market.
Theres a couple projects that aim to create a circular bitcoin economy, like Bitcoin Ekasi in South Africa, Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. Theres also miners supporting local energy development like Gridless.
It uses 0.2% of energy and still does not facilitate daily trade. While the whole banking sector (ATMs, banks, cyrrency production, datacenters) use around 0.4% of global energy.
If by "daily trade" you mean daily purchases like coffee, then yeah, the base layer isnt the best for that. Thats the task of the Lightning network, which allows for near-instant settlement with much lower fees compared to the base layer. The base layer is closer to wire transfers or cash than Visa.
Take VISA for example, it does around 24k transactions per second, while bitcoin does around 100. That’s 240 times more. By this it looks that you would need half the worlds energy production just to come closer to daily use as a currency
100 is a big overestimation, i think base layer TPS is 7-12? Which is why Lightning exists, because who wants to wait an unknown amount of time before their coffee payment goes through (and spend almost a dollar in fees at minimum)?
Also, transaction count doesnt equate to energy usage. Whether theres 100 transactions or 1,000,000, the network will use the same amount to process them. The energy usage depends on the number of active ASICs, and on the number of nodes in the network.
Rebalancing can be done on-chain via submarine swaps, but its usually cheaper to stay on lightning and send a payment to yourself.
thought this was fediverse satire at first (๑>◡<๑)
1: not very hard actually, the hardest part is gettin the cert onto your other devices x3
all you need to do is add each subdomain to the cert, add ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key to the http block, then enable ssl for each subdomain, like so:
http {
# cert
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/public.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/private.key;
server {
listen 12345:443 ssl;
server_name pi.hole;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:80;
}
}
server {
listen 12345:443 ssl;
server_name fox.hole;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:621;
}
}
}
2: correct, all traffic goes through nginx.
it seems to just be a lemmy/activitypub thing, usually grabbing the url and searching it (and then refreshing the page, sometimes) will fetch it theres some i still cant visit either way, like https://forum.dxcomplex.com/, but i assume thats because this instance isnt linked (and i havent bothered askin yet x3)
that's so cool, llms seem like they'll be more useful in a couple years
