I have not tested all of them myself and not sure it exactly correspond to your needs but here are a few options :

• Koel
• Navidrome
• Airsonic
• Polaris

GrapheneOS is a harden Android that gives you more control over your phone and its data. It’s not the only FOSS variant based on AOSP and works only on Google’s Pixel hardware as of today for security reasons. I’ve been running it for years now and I honestly like it very much.

The core of Android is open source and named AOSP for short, it is built on top of the Linux kernel which is also free and open source. However Google have made AOSP not usable by abandonning most of the free app in favor of their own proprietary apps such as Google Messenger, Goole Photos etc… That’s why community project like LineageOS builds their own apps to make them usable instead of the old deprecated ones. Brands like Samsung, OnePlus, etc… are not building from AOSP but rather paying a licence fee to Google so they can use the Google Services that are almost necessary to modern Android.

OP is running GrapheneOS which is a Free and Open Source Operating System based on AOSP.

That’s post-state money, pre-state money existed far way before states even existed

The monopole of violence :D

I pay almost weekly using either Bitcoin’s Lightning Network or Monero. I mainly buy food, snacks, hardware and online services. I never used an online casino such as Binance or Kraken, therefore I don’t use them as crypto-bank nor do I do trading (never did), I often buy on centralized exchange but it goes straight to my wallet. As of today I never sold to cashout.

Take Nigeria, India, Peru or Vietnam as exemple, many people there don’t have bank accounts, however they have a smartphone connected to the internet. Those country have a high percent of people using crypto. Why ? Because thanks to that technology they are able to be there own bank simply by downloading an app. Some are not their own bank but have a banking experience. Most of them got the opportunity to own american dollar that way thanks to USDT and USDC stablecoin. It’s closer to what they know the USD in cash. However there is many people realizing that Bitcoin volatility isn’t bad because their local currency have worse volatility going down over the past 15 years where Bitcoin is going the opposite direction.

We started to see offchain system that don’t need an onchain transactions to transacts, it does not have the same level of security as the public ledger but what does that mean is that in the future we will probably not transact daily on the blockchain but on second layer that communicate to the base layer. Blockchain is inneficient by design but it allows us to have a decentralized immuable and neutral ledger, we will scale by other mean.

Money has no price, money as an ancient pre-historic technology is a way to build trust between people that don’t interact often together and thus need a language to express the labour of their work or the value of their properties. Bitcoin is not the money of the internet but rather the internet of money as stated by Andreas Antonopoulos.

If you want to learn more about money this article has nothing to do with crypto and explain fairly well how we don’t know how money came to existance (as it’s older than writing). It’s not the answer of what is money but a great explanation of how it was yeaaaaaars ago. https://medium.com/teatime-history/how-ancient-long-distance-trade-may-hold-the-secret-to-the-origin-of-money-22094482a475

If you don’t have Medium account consider using Freedium ;)

It’s Ethereum, and it happen because they have no way to verify what they sign in multi-sig setup. There is not a single hardware wallet (signing device) that can do that. The whole Ethereum and EVM ecosystem has been used to blindly signed for years. Today, some realized that developing an app for Ledger devices or other hww would not necessarly be throughing money out of the window :D

Your comment is quite misleading. Blockchain is all about verification and transparency and that is the reason why people knew about the hack that quickly. Authorities, private companies and individuals are following the funds block after block. The hack concern an exchange, a central entity with lots of ether tokens, not a blockchain.

From my understanding and this is still under investigation, the main issue is that the compromised exchange didn’t suffer from any breach. Their multi-sig setup signed a transaction liked if the company was agreeing. Could have been all the required key stolen ? Maybe. All the employee having keys getting corrupted ? Unlikely. From what I’ve read about the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), in multi-sig (Safe or Gnosis safe as exemples) setups, users have no way to verify what they are signing on their harware wallets (signing devices).The whole Ethereum ecosystem have been used to blindly signed for years and today they might realize that’s a bad design choice. Lazarus could have hacked the centralized coordinator entity such as app.safe.global, but as I said this is still under investigation and I’m not a professionnal just a free software enthousiast.

This is an Ethereum, actually more of a EVM Turing Complete, design issue if I understood it correctly. You don’t have this problem that much the on Bitcoin multi-sig UTXOs ecosystem were it’s simpler and many great hardware wallet let you verify on their screen what you are signing (hww without a trusted screen are not designed to be signing devices) but none, 0% let you verify what you sign with an Ethereum smarcontract. It is possible you can do that on Ledger with 1Inch from what I’ve understand, but no one cared until today and so no one wanted to fund the creation of ledger app for this.

A feature of blockchains, actually it’s not blockchain in itself but rather the competitive PoW consensus mechanism (Ethereum forked to PoS) enforced by game theory is immuability and finality of the transactions. With Bitcoin you cannot rollback. Ethereum did a rollback in the early days creating a fork named Ethereum Classic which is the ledger that did not rollback. I don’t think Ethereum will rollback again, especially for such a small amount of ether and I think if they wanted and had the opportunity, it would have been already done. People screaming they will are delusional but maybe I’m wrong :)

Finality might seem a scary feature at first, in reality it enable you to create reversible transactions through escrow multi-sig setup. Actually you don’t even need to, the mempool is not immuable on Bitcoin you can do a RBF. You don’t create trust by simply having a shiny blockchain, people thinking it removes trust don’t understand money nor distributed ledger. Whatever, with this hard finality system you can create softness emulating what the banking system usually offers. So you get the soft system built on top of a hard system, unlike internationnal banking on which you can’t put a hard system on top of.

Edits : Add nuance, clarifications, improved readability, etc…

Ethereum and EVM multi-sig is basically blind-signing on every hardware wallet. EVM is simply a bad design.
