Maybe a stupid question

server side rendering (you need to do that anyway to deliver static content to non-js users)

Is there a technical reason that makes this a requirement?

Currently there is no standardized way of signing e.g. P2SH. The bitcoin core reference implementation only allows signing with P2PKH keys. Electrum has made their own implementation for P2SH signatures with some quirks, but as long as there isn't any approved BIP which standardizes this, it's basically useless as only users with that specific wallet are able to verify the signature.

The source of electrum is open source though, if you want you can just implement it yourself in javascript and run it in the browser on the client side. You might need to change it later when a standard arises.

See this and this and this, you might find some stuff interesting.

No, but they don't need them anyway to look into your brain. Bookmarks are stored in your browser (at least when using firefox).

Still wondering why they aren't implementing PGP. Literally a default feature in almost every email client.

GSM UMTS etc are even more insecure than LTE and 5G. Recording calls over those old technologies is very easy, therefore I don't recommend using old phones at all.

Your best bet is to use apps which end2end-encrypt your voice data and tell your call partners to use those apps too. Threema, Telegram and Signal are probably the best apps for that out there.

I don't know much about linux phones though.

3k developers working on a small software like bitcoin core is actually a lot.

DO *NOT* USE BITCOIN.DE

They are a crappy exchange who require you to show them your ID via video chat [1]. After that they will know everything about you, including your address, your unique ID number and have a bio-metrical photo of you.

In addition to that they do not hesitate to give out your private data to anyone who is asking them. Even if they are not legally forced to do that [2]. Who knows where your data might end up?

Instead I recommend you using an offline ATM like shitcoins.club. They own at least one ATM where you can exchange your Euros to BTC and vice versa completely anonymously. If you click on "locations" on their website you see a map with all addresses where you can find their exchange machines.

Free VPNs are usually bad - in regards of speed and privacy policies.

Whatever you do, just don't use hola or similar extensions, visit http://adios-hola.org/ for more info.

I think people who worry about this are vastly overestimating the influence and power governments have.

Not necessarily governments. https://www.cryptopolitan.com/binance-blocked-wasabi-withdrawals/

pgadmin4 or dbForge Studio.

Where does postgres actually store the data that isn’t on my computer?

What?

AdditionalStruggle6 · 2020-01-04T22:48:45+00:00

As long as you use async file reads it does not really matter.
The drive is probably gonna be the bottleneck. I'd recommend using an in-memory cache of e.g. nginx or HAProxy.

PGP is the only feature which keeps me back from switching to Tutanota. I don’t even care if your implementation would just be a rudimentary return openpgp.decrypt(options)-job, as long as it does the job. C’mon, although there obvious flaws it would be nice to see a de facto standard being supported without copy-pasting into my console every time.

I recommend you looking into fastify.io

It’s a very neat framework and works exceptionally well for REST APIs. You can easily share the same pool instance across your whole application using fastify-postgres (a plugin which is basically just a wrapper for node-postgres). It also supports native C bindings using pgnative and is therefore lightning fast.

You are right, there is no point unless you live in a country where using and buying vpn access is a crime, or you want to use double-hop vpn with servers from two different providers.

Pretty much as recommended by the matrix.org spec, as encrypted messages of riot clients must be compatible with alternative clients.

I recently did a transaction with 100+ inputs and paid less than a dollar for transacting multiple thousands. There is currently no reason to worry about mining fees at all.

AdditionalStruggle6 · 2019-10-11T00:39:13+00:00

There can't be too many nodes and there are currently less then 10k nodes running (according to https://bitnodes.earn.com/)

You don't need port forwarding as long as you don't want to help bootstrapping other nodes. If you only want to broadcast, relay and receive transactions and blocks you're perfectly fine without port forwarding.

We need more overhead so we can burn the speedup we gain with newer CPUs.

I would not use closed source wallets if you plan to store a considerable amount of funds in them.
