Termux runs on Android natively and tries to make it behave like a distro with the team packaging a lot of packages for it, they usually have to patch the packages to use termux s PREFIX which is /data/data/com.termux/files/usr instead of /usr

I don't know what the future holds as currently some limitatiation on new android versions breaks termux and so it currently has forced itself on an older SDK version which makes it ineligible for google play (there's an experimental version on google play but the team recommends the f-droid version for now)

Running traditional Linux distros can also be done inside Termux via what's called proot which is like a chroot without requiring root.

That's cool but I wonder about the level of engagement on that platform, are there users actively using it?

I feel like it might be dying, solana not looking good at all

I'm trying to get better at front-end web development, a skill I've neglected for so long. I've always wanted to build some websites as a hobby but struggled to make them look pretty.

ecash looks fun like a gift card thing, but I wouldn't hold them there, I believe you should trust a mint to the same extent you'd trust a central exchange, you never know.

Thanks, this post made me make the move, I tried using Blink and for some reason the autowithdrawal failed, though this made me consider using coinos as my SN wallet.

Linux is the way

damn how come this one is too long? I thought the length was proportional to the amount of sats, but it seems to be the usual amount.

dang already taken in 4 minutes?

Yeah, lightning amazed me, after testing Bitcoin as a payment for the first time long before I knew about Lightning, I wondered, does anyone really use bitcoin for payments? slow confirmation times, and high fees.

Stacker News was my introduction to lightning and I learned so much after joining here, and everything feels a lot better now.

LN invoices expire pretty quickly though compared to e-cash, or am I forgetting something?

I think it would make sense to have a backup of them, and print out some sort of an 'expiration date' where if they don't claim it by then the author should be able to claim it back.

I used to have limited internet so I wouldn't go to many websites and places and stuck more with what I had, those times sparked more curiosity and productivity that I didn't think much of, but now that I have unlimited wi-fi, I'm starting to fall for the brainrot, it's crazy how much the internet controls our attention nowadays.

It's always nice if you can get some peaceful times off the internet, those are the times you actually think for yourself.

Woah that is cool, I signed up and look forward to see where this goes

Fish is my favorite shell.

Mainly the autocompletion is so good, I know there are zsh plugins to get something similar but still fish has it out of the box and nothing beats it for me.

I still use bash for scripting though, but maybe I should actually learn fish's scripting language, it looks neat. At least for personal scripts, because for portability I think bash scripts are still better.

I only installed fisher and the tide plugin to get some fancy prompts but apart from that, not much to customize.

Maintaining the config file is also very nice, for example often you just need to add something to PATH and fish has a dedicated fish_add_path function that does just that, no more PATH=$PATH:something to extend PATH.

This is a cool concept! I look forward to it, maybe I'll get to build my own wallet app some day, that's definitely one of my long term goals.

nice this post id is 699900

Is it the number 777 referring to luck? and since it's day 77?
