Actually, I had read that Arch is affected, and current advice was to update

You'll probably want to move up to 5.6.1-2 out of an abundance of caution, as recommended here https://security.archlinux.org/CVE-2024-3094
This is the proper response when faced with institutions that obviously despise freedom, and which are full of people who hope to stomp the flame of your individual sovereignty out.
Rage on behalf of the machine
This is fantastic. I'm excited to follow the development.
Monero will weather this and be fine. I'd prefer to wait on tx at this point rather than consider LN as a better alternative.
What service are you using that generates the mempool tx with those graphics?
Edit: nevermind, found it: https://tx.town/
These reflections give some good perspective on the day to someone who wasn't able to be there. It is appreciated.
Happy to hear there was support, and thoughtful engaged support from multiple regions at that.
"One of the best ways to achieve justice is to expose injustice."
Cheers for doing your part to shed light on the injustices heaped upon Julian Assange and promoting the cause of true justice being done with your message. Keep up your worthwhile efforts to prompt those conversations.
Thanks for the update Chives. None of this surprises me while I sit and watch reddit continue to circle the same drain as other platforms that deserve to be paid no attention or given any trust or benefit of the doubt.
Chalk reddit up to another centralized platform that once showed sparks of promise and now is just another fully coopted and controlled cesspit.
I personally don't plan to go near the IPO as a profit play in either direction, and wouldn't invest capital in the business itself on principle alone. But to each their own.
I hope more continue to move to decentralized alternatives.
Can you post any thoughts on how the day went? Did you snap any photos of the stickers or anything else? I'd be interested to get some details from you as on-the-ground reports or impressions. The entire Assange and Wikileaks saga has been a wild ride and had a profound impact, and I feel the details and outcome of all this now will also have profound impact moving forward.
Love this! Well done.
This, but not just news or socials. For those advocating or claiming to be in support of privacy in almost any space, the use of Monero for value exchange is a great litmus test of their sincerity.
But as the OP mentions in the post, awareness and understanding of the use case for Monero is often the roadblock to adoption. Good to see the info spreading to those who claim to share similar values.
