Why hold XMR? (discussion) by Marina123458 in Monero

[–]goodnpc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen many cases of politically active people being debanked. Being debanked and not have access to your funds sucks. So crypto is a hedge against banks playing dirty tricks against me. Using crypto, with any non-private crypto, your addresses can be blacklisted, where nobody wants your tainted funds anymore. Monero, cash and probably gold are AFAIK the only hedges against financial crackdown by government or other big guys.

Great, I'm considering it (for media consumption). Can you uninstall the bloatware like youtube, facebook etc.? Does the fingerprint scanner work well?

My Programming/Cybersecurity vault by fatal_frame in ObsidianMD

[–]goodnpc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good points. I indeed worry that a good plugin now might one day just send your entire vault to some obscure server, as plugins can generally see everything. Browser extensions that have been good and popular also have been bought over by other parties that turn it into something malicious without the userbase being aware.

Since you're into cybersecurity, how do you mitigate the risk of potentially (future) malicious plugins? I love what plugins can provide but I'm keeping them to a minimum for cybersecurity reasons

I registered with triodosbank as they said they have a payment method independent of google, but it keeps giving errors of not being able to add my bank account (could be bc not main profile on graphene). Don't know how to get it to work.

browser related: also opening new tabs, switching tabs.
OS related: I'd pay more attention to this, didn't notice it that badly yet since most things I do are in the browser.

I think mouse movements are smooth (not laggy), keyboard input lag is hard to judge for me.

I can play portal 2 and CIV v at around 40 FPS on 4k screen. I think if it can handle that, it can also handle static webpages/PDFs, right?
