    Yes and all that technical debt, complexity and loss in decentralization could be avoided by simply increasing the block size. BCH for example has zero-conf transactions and the average fee is also <$0.01.

    But that would mean that you’d be able to use it as an actual means of exchange instead of this crippled “Internet gold” bastardization that BTC has become.





  • Let’s not forget that one of the of the core developers is a fascist and Jack gave them 14BTC:

    That anonymous Brazilian is Giovanni Torres Parra, a developer who has also built at least two webpages devoted to disseminating the work of the far-right conspiracy theorist Olavo de Carvalho. Before he died in 2022 after contracting COVID-19, de Carvalho — known as Olavo — praised Brazil’s military dictatorship, claimed that Pepsi-Cola was flavored with stem cells of aborted fetuses, preached that tolerance for homosexuality was “incompatible” with democracy, and had an office in Virginia decorated with portraits of Confederate generals.











    • Terminal: termux is the best, just don’t use the google play version, it’s outdated. Just use the fdroid version.
    • EBook Reader: I’ve used most of them, I really like KOReader for it’s built in calibre functionality.
    • file sync: syncthing full stop.
    • file sharing: Warpinator if its your own machines, otherwise go to pairdrop.net
    • IDE: Acode on fdroid is probably the best mobile-optimized one I’ve tried.
    • Backup: Titanium Backup is probably still the best option for backing up appdata.

    Hope this helps!



  • There isn’t much more you can do to streamline that workflow for ebooks, though the default Calibre library filesystem of subfolders by author makes it frustrating if your library is large and the books author is towards the end of the alphabet.

    My new workflow (which is my old workflow but it’s been broken since Calibre companion was bought by some asshole) is use syncthing to sync your calibre autoimport folder, then use the Calibre reading list plugin to upload it to your device next time it connects.

    For my reading app I use KOreader, it will allow you to connect to Calibre as a wireless device and let you browse your OPDS server if you have it enabled. Also it’s available on basically anything.

    I eventually intend to host my Calibre library on my server and run it through a reverse proxy so I don’t have to worry about being connected to my home network for updated, but that’s a bit further down the road lol.
