Oh yeah, I would just get it with no OS installed. Although, if they were going to do anything malicious it would probably be with the custom BIOS lol
I think since coreboot would be installed I *should* be able to flash it again myself so I don't have to trust them with that either

Does anyone have experience with NovaCustom.com laptops? They seem to be one of the only places to directly get a laptop with coreboot and intel-ME disabled for Monero

The only thing I've watched that came out in 2025 was Takopii. It was fine and an interesting enough story but I wasn't big on how self-indulgent and suffer-porny it was. I feel like it's one of those where some people will REALLY like it but it doesn't have mass appeal.

The conclusion I've come to is, unfortunately, that people do it on purpose because they enjoy being upset and starting fights. Everybody knows that 'you catch more flies with honey than vinegar' so if they're out here being sour, I can only assume it's by choice.

I'm honestly not so sure it's "easily" disproved. A lot of what I've seen so far for debunking it seems to be based on (inaccurate) assumptions for what flat earthers believe or using scientific theories as proof (ie gravity) or just having to believe what we've been shown from a relatively small set of entities.
For example, being able to see far away objects that should be completely obscured by the curvature of the earth, such as a mountain range hundreds of miles away where even the peak should be hundreds to thousands of feet below the horizon. The globe explanation is that it's some form of light refraction or bending but for 99% of people that explaination relies on the testimony of a specialist and is not something a layperson could prove.
And just to be clear, I don't think the earth is flat, I just think its interesting that I've yet to see anyone who CAN understand and explain the physics and mathmatics of all this take the time to understand what flat earthers are claiming and show how it's wrong in a respectful way.

2026-01-27 14:46:14 UTC

I've been diving in to the flat earth rabbit hole lately. I'm far from convinced but I do think it's valuable to have people asking questions about "established facts".
I don't think I've ever seen someone seriously sit down and refute a lot of flat earth claims, it's always a lot of handwaving which is giving (unfortunately) heavy covid "trust the science" vibes.

Serious question, wouldn't you just need to send a weather balloon up like this as night to prove flat earth? If it's night where you send it up, at altitude, you'll either not be able to see the sun or you would right?

No no that's fair, it definitely doesn't hurt to be optimistic at times, but pessimism is my default stance

2026-01-23 13:56:55 UTC

I really think it's better to be a pessimist because when you're wrong, things are better than you were expecting and when you're right, you're already prepared for the worst.
Also I don't mean being a doomer who's blacklilled on everything, I just mean having a healthy skepticism of things.

I was talking about any coins as they exist now. Currently there are no coins that work better as private digital cash.
I agree that a lot of people will move off monero if a real alternative were to come out because monero is far from perfect.
But the reason people don't use zcash or LN (instead of monero) is because they are not actually better, despite what monero haters say all the time.

Nostr should allow for something like sub-npubs for different topics, languages, or whatever. Then people can choose which sub-npubs they want to follow. I feel like that would allow for better discovery of someone's alts.
It would also mean a client doesn't need to auth against multiple nsecs to get notifications and feeds for multiple identities.
You could even have "private" sub-npubs for posting to private relays, where it's not linked from your main but still verifiably the same owner

Would you say that's generally ok from a privacy perspective?
Also how does that work with taxes? I don't know much about stable coins but I assume as long as the "price" of USDC is the same when you send it elsewhere, they shouldn't try to slap capital gains on you right?
