demesisx, to linux in Energy Efficient X Compositors?
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I use picom with XMonad and it’s pretty damned efficient.

infosec.pub/comment/5743487

I linked a definition to that a few comments down.

I also run a community on XMonad: infosec.pub/c/xmonad

Nix flakes are all I need to completely replace Docker.

demesisx, to opensource in Don't be that guy.
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

Agreed. That and I hate Docker with a burning passion.

I think it’s funny. We are the new “I use Arch, BTW” and I’m happy to embrace it.

Guilty. But substitute Mormonism with the proper way to do things.

Are you sure about that?

demesisx, to linux in Easiest way to switch distros
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I wish you luck… but honestly, it sounds like a lot of painful steps to get the exact same thing that a solid config flake in NixOS would get you.

I use NixOS btw. ;)

It’s funny when you pretend that each of those weren’t 100% coordinated by the DNC to prevent Bernie from winning a bunch of states and perhaps the presidency.

Colin Furze takes oil money.

demesisx, (edited ) to linux in Spending a few days with Hyprland made me realize how awesome Gnome is
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I use xmonad as my main WM, so Hyprland would be a very easy transition. I would have switched by now but I just love Haskell

so much.

I’m not talented enough to port Hyprland to Haskell (at least the configuration aspect) but I wish someone wanted to do that. What I like about xmonad is that its core is actually formally verified.

I use Arch BTW. jk

@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I’d absolutely use this. I’m glad to see people using this incredibly powerful concept to solve problems that would literally be impossible to solve without it. It is especially encouraging that they used Monero since it has an extra layer of untraceability built-in. Blockchain is experiencing kind of a backlash in public perception, but like tech closely related to it like NFT’s, it is a VERY viable idea that just so happens to be tainted by greed and disinformation.


Voting is another concept that would become unhackable overnight…but would also probably:

A. enable the creation of a CBDC (which would also allow the state to REVOKE ownership of your own money)

B. force a state to pick a technology/crypto of choice (and tip the scales toward that crypto)

both of which I somehow am vehemently against yet moderate a (ghosty) community on blockchain voting. 😅

Nice. He recognized a good technology. You sound SO stupid.

Here’s some easy ways to spot fraud in a crypto project:

  • not open source
  • not decentralized
  • anonymous team (not always a sign of sketchiness)
  • the crypto is locked in someone else’s wallet (not your keys, not your crypto)
  • promises of ROI that are too good to be true (like TerraLunas 20% guaranteed return or the unsustainably high return promised by FTX)
  • not formally verified
  • an actual use-case rather than leveraging buzz-words to sell a utility token (looking at you IOTA and AGIX)
  • initial token allocation is all insiders (Ergo had one of the fairest launches in the whole space, for example so I’d be shocked to see that one be a pump and dump)

I didn’t predict the failure of FTX or TerraLuna but they also didn’t smell right to me because they ticked MANY of the warning boxes above. I’m fairly centered around Cardano ecosystem projects but even in that ecosystem there’s bound to be some fraud. I protect myself by sticking to my gut feeling and using that small checklist. I have yet to be defrauded and I’ve been investing the space since 2017. It’s not hard and I am not Nostradamus but thanks for the compliment.
