Client mode not only transmits packets for you, but when it receives packets from other nodes, it will retransmit them.
Client Mute does not retransmit packets from other nodes.
Say you have a solar power node up 30 feet on a flagpole outside your house, and you have several nodes inside your house for yourself, your spouse, and your kids or parents. Those nodes should be in client mute mode so that they don’t retransmit packets because the solar node up 30 feet on the mast would do a better job of that.
Yes, when you add the other node, make sure to put your sense cap in client mute mode instead of client mode.

As a blind person myself, I frequently interact with people who have service dogs and such. Hell, at one point in my life, I had a girlfriend who had a service dog because she was deafblind and I have seen her be denied rides in person.
Every driver who signs up for Uber in the Terms of Service has a thing about having to accept service animals, no matter whether it’s a pet ride or not. It’s just in the account Terms of Service when you create your driver account. If you read them, you will find it.
So if you absolutely unequivocally do not want service animals in your car, you cannot drive for either of these services.
I guess you could do like the restaurant deliveries or whatever, but to take passengers, you couldn’t do it.

So for example, if you want a $10,000 loan, you have to deposit $20,000 worth of crypto. That actually makes the loans quite safe, and if the price of crypto falls, you will lose your crypto unless you deposit more collateral.

Real crypto people use things like matrix and SimpleX, because they’re not centralized.
Those crypto people on Discord are just virtue signaling cucks.

shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Age Verification Is A Windfall for Big Tech—And A Death Sentence For Smaller PlatformsEnglish16·12 days agoI completely agree. The minute a platform asks me to do age verification is the moment I leave that platform.
I will take my traffic to platforms that won’t do shit like that.

shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Engineering For Slow Internet Even When Not Stuck In AntarcticaEnglish11·13 days agoThis is what IPFS is for. Instead of linking to a location that would be way far away off planet, it links to the content which could very well be cached on planet or on a relay station closer. Sure, one person has to pull it down from the incredibly far away place, but once it’s pulled down at least one time, everybody else pulls it from the more local version that that person has. However, though, timeouts will need to be increased. Maybe not to some insanely stupid amount, but they will need to be increased somewhat.

It doesn’t even matter how you access the one. Even if you access it over tor, as long as you can get to one instance, you’re in the Federation.
