How about GApps tho? You know, the piece of spyware Google embeds in Android's system partition?
FYI:
Private open source alternative to it,
is MicroG

Heya Antik :D
Afaik, PoS (Proof of Stake) would weaken the chain, as it leads to more centralization, which makes it more vulnerable to attacks.
You can't blame people for the (sometimes) limited brainset they receive.
If it's unclear to the majority, then it's Lemmy which should aim to simplify the process of joining/explaining it to the general population.
Federated software is awesome, but sadly the recruiting process is still too difficult for many.
If it's unclear which app to download / which instance to join, then that's where a lot of registrations are being missed out on.
Note: For some reason, starting from v3.7, p2pool docs say
--out-peers 32 --in-peers 64(in is bigger);
probably just typos.
Oh did not know that, will alter the post accordingly!
Did a little digging as to why, and found the commit which changed it 🙂
Commit message:
Documentation: recommend more in-peers - This will balance out peers which can only have outgoing connections.

However, it is free software and you’re free to study how the program works,
and change it anyway as you wish, if you’d like to.
There are donation-less builds floating around, which I will not link, out of respect for the XMRig dev.
Happy studying, happy ethical hacking, happy mining, and happy holidays! Have happiness that money can’t buy :)
Thank you for your comment, wishing you happy holidays as well! 🎁
May the best product win (being AdBlockers ofc, lol)
In the meantime, you can spread public awareness about the issues with FIAT currencies around the globe.
I'm mostly talking about:
- Deficit spending: Where your central bankers are allowed to lend out more then they have, but ask interest for it.
- Fractional banking: Where your regional bankers are allowed to lend out X% of money that you deposit.
In laymans terms "printing money".
Both lead to eventual but guaranteed hyper inflation due to increases in the money supply.
See for yourself by looking up the EUM3, GBM3 and USM2 charts, which visualize the total circulating money supply.
Economics 101:
- Chart goes up? More in circulation, each unit worth less, due to abundancy
- Chart goes down? Less in circulation, each unit worth more, due to scarcity.
If you look up the charts, you'll see them generally rising over-time. With a small periodic dip here/there, but generally rising.
However, we need a system that has a frigging straight line.. Instead of centralized private entities (ECB, FED, BOE) pulling the strings as to where it goes.
My hope lies in crypto for this, which humanity is doing a good job of, of ruining it's reputation. But my faith in the OG crypto principles/projects remain.
Oh my, did not know that, but now I'm srsly tempted to already delete my account D:
Have not used FreeTube myself.
However it appears to be reputable / decent.
- It's source is open: https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube
- It's mentioned in the Invidious repo: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious#projects-using-invidious
Rule of thumb:
- Steer clear of proprietary / closed source software
- Always aim to use open source software if possible
Big tech writes the equivalent of digital heroin.
The longer they can keep you on their platforms,
the more they can data-farm you,
the more data they have on you,
the more they can sell about you / earn on you.
Detox yourself from your bad heroin addiction,
by switching to fair FOSS (Free Open Source Software) alternatives.
E.g. Use Invidious, Grayjay or NewPipe instead of YouTube.
The day that happens, will be the day I delete my account.
No amount of free games can justify the amount of spy-ware Google/Tencent will bring to the table.
You're both kinda right afaik.
MicroG reverse engineered, and re-written as much as possible from GApps libraries, from the ground up, as open source software.
These re-implementations are as light weight and privacy respecting as possible on your local device,
however the same does not count for the Google servers it communicates with (if you choose to enable them).
For SafetyNet attestation, a proprietary, isolated, DroidGuard blob is downloaded (if you choose to enable it).
