The silver academy is a sub-stack that covers what happens in silver. It’s readers are mostly precious metals collectors. They do not sell any precious metals and receive no proceeds from any sale resulting from you reading this article. You could have actually read and researched this yourself, but like most people, you don’t take the time to actually read things through. Read thoughtfully, carefully, don’t scan over and fire out a response before you understand the validity of sources cited.

Funny, flatpak works on MX, but it kills performance. I launch any flatpak program and it’s literally up to five minutes to launch. After re-imaging and using AppImages instead, it’s blazing fast. There must be something about the way MX implements flatpaks that screws the pooch.

I’ve bounced around alot, have numerous distributions on my Proxmox Hypervisor, but my favorite daily driver, for a really old computer, is ( MX Linux ) I’ve twice tried other distros to see if I could improve upon the stability and performance, as well as the very convenient availability of a feature rich KDE Desktop environment, and I came back to MX twice now. When I get a new fast computer, I’ll switch to Qubes OS, for it’s built-in hypervisor and security/privacy and isolation features, but until then, I’ll stick with MX.

IMHO, there are excellent reasons why MX ranks highest. I think it’s original roots in AntiX with the elimination of systemd has afforded it a substantial advantage over stock-standard Debian, my last daily driver which always had performance issues. With MX, on same hardware, system lock ups are far less frequent when the system is overtaxed.

This is the first I’ve seen of this. We’re talking about which redesign before the obvious discussion that we should have, “whether” the site needs a redesign. I’m open to changes if someone can justify them with a requirements change. Let’s first discuss current requirements, whether the current site meets those requirements, then decide if we want to change those requirements. From a consumer of the website, the current site meets all the requirements for it’s current mission. Thoughts??

We have no business in Ukraine. NATO is not a defense pact, it has morphed into the offensive alliance to take over Russia. Believe it or not, that will NOT be good for most of the world.

And how exactly have you verified this is not just an outright fabrication? This looks like MSM (MainStream Media) propaganda at a time when the USD is losing value against gold, the only real money. What credible other sources have you looked at to verify this?

A little off topic, but with the way censorship is ramping up all over the globe, this may be the new norm for savvy Linux users everywhere.

This is not the forum for political discussion, nor does this represent a community that takes sides on politics that have little to do with the promotion of sound money and Monero in particular. While you may pull at the heartstrings of some, your plea for support from this community is unwelcome. I would encourage you to publish your Kuno on twitter or “X”, as it’s now called where you will get more eyeballs.

I discourage the implementation of AppImage creation because it’s a cheap and dirty way to tick the box for Linux compatibility, yet this does not translate into usability for the Linux user. Some cons to this half-baked shortcut IMHO are:

• packages don’t update with operating system updates using native package managers like apt or yum so updates are clumsy and in some cases have broken my system.
• packages don’t integrate with operating system menu hierarchy.
• it can tend to circumvent the quality controls inherent in the package introduction processes of these distributions, therefore reducing it’s overall reliability as a tool. (it’s also a great way to sneak malicious code on to your machine, btw)

What you end up with is a broken app, which may not break your system entirely at first. Any of those that continue to attempt to correct these broken apps can either get lucky and fix the app, or make things worse and really break the Operating System. It is for these reasons I urge the developer community to avoid using snap, AppImage, or Flatpak and stick to releasing binaries for specific distributions like .deb or .rpm.

I’d rather wait a year longer for it than have you check off your “Linux compatibility” box and never look at it again.

I’m not a programmer, so if you find any statements factually incorrect, I’ll beg your forgiveness in advance and ask that you don’t bite my head off in your reply, just politely point out and correct factual misstatements and save your energy for writing code for binary installation package files like .deb or .rpm.

Sincerely,

Terrible conditions, I regret that the USA is the cause of all the unrest with it’s support of a coup, freezing the Venezuelan gold in London and funds in New York. Unfortunately, the leaders of my country have taken the path of colonial plunderers and will not stop until the Venezuelan people are under the yolk of the World Bank and have a US led puppet government in place. I urge you all to resist the overthrow of Maduro, for the replacement will not be an improvement.

It’s because the Khazarian bankers are behind Proton, as deep state as it gets.

No respect for the church go-ers.

The site(s) should operate like Nodes in a peer to peer network over TOR, where it is impossible to trace it back. We need strong enough technology where bravery is not required, the same way that Monero has been designed, for a hostile environment.

My problem with all the outreach to the crypto community is that none of the motives support the termination of centralized fiat currencies. Name me one problem on this earth that decentralization can’t improve upon.

New Trump is more enslaved to the central bankers than ever before. Trump’s video shows after he was “shot”, reaching up to his ear. As he pulls his hand away from his ear, no blood. The he went down and SS covered him up, then he comes up with blood, or something red, dripping down his ear. Coincidence?? See Bondslaves Biblical. The cabal loves their symbology, could this be why suddenly, the winds have shifted for Trump?

They will trample your God given rights to make enforcement as convenient as possible rather than respecting individual liberties, every time. This erosion of the protection of our rights must be reversed or we can only expect revolution. Let’s hope Europe sets the example for liberty that us Americans seem to have forgotten, but I’m not holding my breath.

Stay away, please. Proton is based in Switzerland, the home of the WEF, the BIS, and other evil central banker affiliated globalists organizations. Monero should not touch this with a ten foot pole.

Off topic. Not once was Monero mentioned. Good info, wrong forum to post on imho.

What about the Monero community working with the manufacturers on PoS terminals, providing coding assistance to embed nodes and wallets into them and provide the training to retailers willing to participate in pilot programs? I admit I don’t understand the new US laws on crypto and if this might presently be illegal.

Another idea is to create a legal fund to defend those prosecuted by any of these crypto related regulations. Establish precedence in the courts, making it more difficult to prosecute the free exercise of trade thru crypto and furthering privacy protections for private transactions.
