Discord is the worst. Requires a phone number, does not allow email aliases and logs your chats.
Matrix and SimpleX is way better

Simple Nushell Script To Always Disable Laptop Internal Monitor When Using AR Glasses
Reply in thread
If it cannot detect the glasses or if they are disconnected, it will restore the other displays. I have been using a similar version of the script for about a year that was written in Bash https://lemmy.world/post/29660071, I decided to rewrite it in Nushell since I prefer Nushell over Bash.
Improvements are welcomed as this code is free for all to modify, share, and use.

Meta will kill small instances! Please read.
Could Threads essentially cause a kinda DDOS attack onto other instances or bloating other instances with data?

What does the -d mean in the run command?
Reply in thread
Otherwise -d does nothing different to the container, just runs the container "in the background" so you can continue entering other commands in the terminal without having to open another terminal tab or terminal window?

Are there handheld monitors? Like a handheld pc (steam deck) without the pc, just a monitor with a controller built into it?
Reply in thread
I was thinking it would look like the steam deck but have a hdmi port (or usb-c port) for video and audio (or at least video) and a regular usb port for the controller. I am fine with being tethered to my pc since I can get long cords and I would prefer do use this monitor and controller without batteries if possible.
I will check out the portable monitors and see if I can make it work. My goal is to game in my bed before bedtime and I do not want to buy a big TV in my room just to have a clear picture.

Nostr needs a Monero Takeover
I wish session remade their client with flutter and made it feature rich like Element/Jami/SimpleX.
I like how sessions handles users IDs as seed phrases and also wishes sessions will allow you to manage multiple user IDs from a single seed phrase.
Nostr FTW!

Which one scales better? Lemmy or kbin?
Reply in thread
To my understanding vertical scaling has limits which is the servers limitations as horizontal scaling if infinite since unlimited servers can be added

Any good dedicated VPN providers?
Reply in thread
I am considering just renting a server. The benefit of self hosting over a VPN is that I control my server completely, and I am not renting a server that I cannot physically reach.

Simple Bash Script To Always Disable Laptop Internal Monitor When Using AR Glasses

What company do you work for in XR?
I got the XReal One as a portable ergonomic monitor and I may use them as my main monitor going forward. I have a sit/stand desk with monitor arms which I can adjust the height and position for an ergonomic design to always look straight at the monitor and not looking down.
From my research currently the XReal Ones are the best AR/XR glasses on the market due to the chip built into them, not needing any other devices or software to run, just plug in play. The XReal One Pros which I think are coming out soon have some better specs but to me, not worth the extra money.
I been using them for regular desktop/laptop task and coding and I prefer to use the anchor mode when doing this. I sometimes also use the ultra-wide mode to simulate 2 monitors. I also been using them for gaming and I will either have it in follow or anchor mode but never use ultra-wide mode for gaming.

The github issue

Since DAI is currently being destroyed
I think stablecoins will always have a centralized point of failure. Weather it is an algorithm, or having the coin backed by the actual asset.
I think the best stablecoins are backed by the asset 1 to 1 or a little more then 1 to 1. Most stablecoins that do this are token on smart chain contracts which have another vulnerability which is being a smart contract. Smart contracts could contain a vulnerability and if it does have a vulnerability, a new contract will need to be made and users will have to switch their old token to the new tokens. Also censorship is an issue. https://cryptonews.com/news/tether-takes-action-blacklists-validator-address-linked-25-million-mev-bot-drain-heres-what-happened.htm
And these stablecoins are not private. The only private stablecoin platform out there is Haven but Haven assets are not backed 1 to 1.
I hope there are plently of stablecoins issued on Zano in the future. Zano allows you to create an asset without creating a smart contract. All assets on Zano are private. I would like to see Tether, USDC and other issue stablecoins on Zano. Trusting the issuers on backing the stablecoin and trusting the issuer to secure their private keys to prevent hackers from inflating the asset will be the only vulnerabilities, but you will have privacy and a censorship resistant stablecoin!

Forum Thread Comment Sorting
Reply in thread
For example on the website interface for this thread, there are 5 buttons
Hot - Top - New - Old - Chat
Hot, Top, New and Old do as they do and will nest the comments. Chat will have the comments non-nested and will be sorted from newest to oldest.
Another button can be added next to Chat called Forum. Forum will be the exact same as Chat, being non-nested comments except it will be sorted from oldest to newest. This will make any Lemmy thread act as a forum were comments are from oldest to newest. With this feature, Lemmy is now can behave as a link aggregator and a forum.

How do you fork a repo from github?
Reply in thread
Could I just migrate a repo from github to gitea? Not a fork but is essentially a fork by copying and pasting the repo from github to gitea.

The case for dropping old blocks to keep Monero blockchain size under control and future proof
I think all cryptocurrency blockchains that function as money or store of value should do this. However I think 1 years worth is better than 10 years worth of data, or perhaps even less than a years worth of data.
As long as the blockchain size remains small enough for the adverage Joe to store the entire chain onto their mining computer for when or if Monero reaches mainstream mass adoption usage. By mainstream mass adoption I mean Monero is used as much as Visa or Mastcard is globally which I would assume will mean that Monero will need to handle 1 million transactions per second.
