I'd highly recommend "Civil Disobendience" by Henry Thoreau. It's been quite a while since I've read this and damn, this short book could have been written yesterday.

Dude goes to jail because he says it's morally wrong to pay taxes to a government that allows slavery and is fighting a war with Mexico. He was also against a standing army.

Someone pays his tax bill so he released after 1 night. He protests but they kick him out.

Yes it's from the 1880s, but this guy would have been stacking sats on his farm in his cabin in 2024.

Years ago, I purchased a highly recommended book on real estate investing that was written by a professor.  In typical academic style, prior launching into the subject, he attacked (what he perceived as) his opposition.  The entirety of chapter two was spent comparing stock market investments to real estate investments, to show you how stock market investing is a path to loss, whereas real estate investing allows you to pull in profits.

I didn't read much past that point, because the man is obviously an idiot.  You can make money investing in nearly anything. Pretending that your favorite investment vehicle is "the only real option" is very short-sighted.

Every investment vehicle has reasons not to invest in it.  The risks are hoisted high, with no mention of how to manage them, in an attempt to smear it.  In reality, all investing is about managing risk.  The higher the risk, the higher the reward, so the skill of risk management is what will allow you to play in the field of "higher rewards".

Invest in what you see to be valuable.  Do research. Start with your exit plan, then figure out your entry.  It doesn't matter if it's APPL, precious metals, BTC, SHTCN, seeds, or a classic car.  Looking at only one investment vehicle, or only one store of wealth, is how poor people do it.

Politics aside, in the nautical world, a dinghy (rubber or otherwise) is a type of boat. Considering how small they are, referring to them as "small boats" is technically correct.

I have a client where I performed several hours of clerical duties each week during July.  I was asked for tax forms, which I submitted promptly. They asked me to submit my hours for payment.  Now they're claiming they didn't hire me.

There are several points during my attempts at getting paid where I could have given in, made a lesser deal, or let them lead me down whatever twisted path they have in mind.

Instead, I'm standing firmly, and holding them to their agreement. They have no clue that the money is no longer the issue, and that their "Integrity Coin" balance is about to go negative.

I think they're showing that it doesn't matter. "Too powerful to play charades that aren't necessary" so-to-say.


You've never seen those people before. Even Bush Sr (former head of the CIA) had handlers when he was our active President.

They had him on so much Halcyon that he would babble incoherently when no teleprompter was present. As an aside, humor books called "Bushisms" made money from that. It's also what caused him to vomit on the Prime Minister of Japan.

His son told a room full of mega-corp owners that he considered them his base. Yet his family is controlled.

You can see the strings of the puppet, and maybe fingers of the puppet master, but even "he" probably works for people smart enough to remain hidden.


How about we only propagate personal experiences? Third-party info has become defunct.


If you're quitting nicotine, something that helped me is to remember that nic-fits only last a few minutes. Sure, those minutes feel 500% longer, but if you white-knuckle it through those few minutes, you're being successful at re-programming your neuronic pathways. During that time, I would also focus on what clean/pink/fluffy lungs look like in order to remind myself of what I really want.

She does have control over when she sells and buys, but it seems she's invested because it's good advice, and not because she wanted to learn how.

If she has a long term hold planned, this recent news is barely a blip, and means nothing. If she's more of a short, or mid, term investor, then she should be following her exit strategies when they are triggered.

She's basically a gambler, and not an investor.

🚨 For the first time, a government is being overthrown by 3D-printed weapons 🔫

The longest-lasting civil war today took an unexpected turn... when the resistance adopted plastic weapons and cryptocurrencies.

You NEED to know what's happening in Myanmar 👇

https://image.nostr.build/a2fdf9026e54b6b1da842627fb5b8c4bd194211838d838b3c0d791eb5db65441.jpg

https://image.nostr.build/90c607aedae1666db44e2cdf10bfc325b857c46a8afaebebbe2752b7e1b23cca.jpg

Myanmar has never had political stability since gaining independence 76 years ago.

The latest coup was in 2021, banks were drained, and the local currency lost 60% of its value in the following months.

Rebels have since been using CRYPTO to finance themselves.

https://image.nostr.build/ddaac81e9555922d2c8940c90ccbc8f37c6f4e1b987a79282a8324377d0e1724.png

They declared TETHER as the official currency 🏅

They launched a stablecoin and a crypto bank on the Polygon network that accesses Uniswap pools for buying and selling currencies.

They even created a digital lottery and boycotted the national Myanmar lottery, which saw its revenue drop by 80% 📉

https://image.nostr.build/4fd9c942150d77ed2c032af07f7d6f785b35ec52806f9c76a523398a6fad93a7.png

The rebels have raised about $100 million in recent years.

They even auctioned "revolutionary bonds": buyers could receive a share of a deposed general's mansion, for example.

But this $100 million is nothing compared to the nearly $1 billion that the junta has invested in the war since the coup.

https://image.nostr.build/eb9746cf073e54a643de3c70767aee6aa0be09634ae9af0578b67d5c902892c6.png

This ASYMMETRY of resources suggests a protracted conflict with no end in sight.

The junta is unable to eliminate all the decentralized insurgency hotspots... but it can exhaust them financially.

However, the asymmetry is decreasing, thanks to DISSIDENT TECHNOLOGIES...

JStark would be proud.

In recent months, there have been reports of FGC9s in use in Myanmar.

FGC9 is one of the most popular models of self-made firearms.

FGC = Fuck Gun Control

No one conquers a city with FGC9s.

... defend a mountain pass or a village surrounded by forest with them.

Moreover, the resistance has mastered the art of producing and piloting homemade patrol drones.

The insurgents have already liberated ~50% of the territory.

The military junta controls the most populous and economically significant areas.

China supported the last coup in 2021. The West never had enough incentive to confront Beijing 🇨🇳

But in 2024, everything starts to change.

https://image.nostr.build/56c5705a1c8f1e73685767d2b059cdf38d9002029369c667c4ce246a9090e595.png

China's interest is economic.

They need to be on the side of the "winner" to ensure access to Myanmar's strategic pipelines and ports.

But in March of this year, Beijing lost its patience.

Hold on to this:

😳 44,000 CHINESE were in Myanmar as "slaves"...

https://image.nostr.build/faa92bf49b76a74367313ae9dc701a20800fef77c00a74676e9003f557211332.png

...and they were finally discovered and "returned."

They were working in "ONLINE SCAM CENTERS" operating in the northern part of the country. They were lured with fake job advertisements.

This is a scam center on the border with Thailand, packed with Chinese workers, scamming people worldwide 👇

August 1, 2024

It is the fourth day since the electoral fraud occurred in Venezuela. The numbers of those injured, kidnapped, missing and dead increase every hour, while politicians only talk, the same dialogue as every day, some accept that Edmundo Gonzalez is the winner given the clear and concise evidence. Maria Corina Machado made sure that there is a website where you can verify the minutes with the total result of the machine where you voted, the minutes on this website reveal that Edmundo won by a large difference in points. Others keep repeating that Maduro show the minutes, since supposedly the ones he has are the winner, but as expected they create one excuse after another not to show them, today they were supposed to show them at 11am, it was agreed, but again they postponed it.

After three documented screw ups, contact them. Immediately ask them for their supervisor's name and contact info in case they are as incompetent as their staff.

It's okay to get mad, but always be polite. Don't cuss, etc, or give them any excuse to quit on you. Be tenacious and hold their feet to the fire. Become so annoying in your basic request that the staff will always remember your name.

Mine often throws errors 😕


Goals, I was told long ago, are best framed as loosely guided ideas to avoid creating expectation. The linear part of my thinking has a hard time with that. I enjoy destinations. Being in this moment, thinking about impossibilities or perhaps improbabilities, amplifies the obvious. Surrendering to a lack of control can be as much of an act of will as to not.


At that point, it's not taken; it's given away.

You can imply anything. It has no bearing.


You have the right to OWN food, you have the rights to BUY or GROW food. You do not have the right to food in general, i.e. someone else's food.

This brought me to think about how rights are based on verbs, not nouns. I don't have the right to food, but I do have the right to eat. I don't have the right to arms, but I do have the right to own and carry them. 🤔


I ripped them off upon harvest, but not because I know anything, just processing them as far as I could. Are there any negative effects that some would expect?


It's a signal to get more ammo.


It's a long story of constant failures. The short version is they charged my card immediately, but didn't ship until three weeks later (after I brought it to their attention). It still took them a week or two to finally send it off. When I got it, the wifi dongle was the wrong one (physical connector didn't match). They spent another month getting me the correct dongle. Then the S9 booted straight to an error. They made multiple appointments with me for troubleshooting, then would no-show on me. Meanwhile, this took tons of emails back and forth, with D-central often taking a week or two to reply, including threatening me with slower response time if I didn't act happy about their mistakes.

I'm pretty much soured on the idea of home mining after that. I would have been better off using the money to buy BTC, and my time spent doing almost anything else.


As long as you don't buy from D-Central in Canada. I had one of my worst experiences in purchasing after dealing with those posers.


Then it is definitely overpriced.


What's the estimated time for ROI?


We don't have anything resembling simulated intelligence though. Maybe under perfect conditions, for very specific uses, you can create that illusion, but when practical usage comes into play, it all falls apart. Any "scientist" would know this through a concept call "experimentation".


They can't be called scientists if they believe AI exists.


Considering inflation, they'll have to start accepting them again.

You don't have to dig deep. Any vegetation that you cut can be used as mucellium food in your bare areas. Once the colonies start, everything can really take off. Add some lactobascilus (LAB) to the effort, and you'll have a lush area.


Deadly


It all depends on the species. There's a whole kingdom of them. Some of the myco-supplements have many species in one mix. With this method, you can do research on the included species to see what conditions they thrive in.

You can also go to a flourishing area, and dig up a patch of mycellium. It will grow back, I promise. This will also give you the related microbes for a balances soil ecosystem. Use the soil dug up from the verdant area to innoculate portions of your barren area. In this case, you don't often know of the species you are dealing with, but local conditions, and observation, will guide you.

It requires thinking about every demographic that will use your system, donning their hat for several moments each, and making the difficult decisions about what can be implemented in a reasonable timeframe.


There have been quite a few Hollywood actors as members. Leah Remimi grew up in that group. Joe Rogan interviewed her, revealing some insights. I think there's a documentary about the dark side of Scientology too.


L Ron Hubbard bet a friend that he could start a cult. It seems to be based on victimhood and abuse, like many cults.

I would start seeds in Jan or Feb to give me a chance to sex them. If they're not 2', or taller, they're not going to produce much. If they're showing signs that they've already flipped, either accept a tiny harvest, or send them to compost.


In my area, Trader Joe's is hit or miss. If you want sugary sweets, they do have some tempting items. Sometimes an item will be a good deal here, but it mostly caters to the upper class (as a discount store to them), and many of the prices reflect the demographic they are aiming for.

I've had to return a tube of marimated spoiled meat, that nearly exploded in my fridge after less than 24 hours from purchase. I've heard of other ugly returns too.

The vibe is usually cool, if it's not busy. It's probably more fun to shop in, than it is to buy stuff from.


This reminded me that I was on a team that won a state drill competition. We had chrome (looking) helmets, no bayonette or firearm (as we were mostly minors), but our fake rifles looked snazzy, and none of the other teams had the moves we did. Fun stuff!

The advice might also be related to the idea that you're putting thorns in your compost. If you plan to handle it later, you might get poked.


This is going to be a sort of long one (or maybe it won't?), because I have a lot of thoughts as a tech and social media enthusiast, and some of those thoughts have to do with how I feel about the direction that social media is moving in. How I feel about Mastodon, and Nostr, side-by-side, and what the biggest problems with Bluesky are.

So, let's jump right the heck in ...

_**Nostr, the misconceptions, and the truth**_

I recently wrote about [Nostr](https://cmdr-nova.online/2024/07/11/nostr-the-strangest-and-clunkiest-twitter-replacement/), and its relayed protocol of user-owned identity that you can take ... wherever. I outlined a lot of thoughts and impressions I initially had, and then what I wrote went to Reddit, and then it found itself on Nostr. It got there entirely outside my own involvement. I posted to Mastodon, and almost nowhere else.

This inspired me to log back in, and set some things up (such as domain verification from one of a few domains I own), and then I explored a bit. I interacted with people, participated in some community events that came up spontaneously, and really dug into the extreme multitude of features that run across the Nostr network.

Let's just say, I was pretty floored, and _some_ of the impressions I had were wrong. Such as thinking that a place that is more centered around the idea of lacking censorship, or robust moderation, _must_ be filled with toxic, horrible trolls. In the couple of days I've been messing with the network, I think I've muted like one person who said some off-the-wall shit in my notifications.

But ... I think Nostr has nasty people just in the same way Twitter, Threads, and Mastodon do. They exist, and they always will, no matter where you go.
Suffice to say, I learned a lot about what decentralization was, and now is. I was given [an article](https://shreyanjain.net/2024/07/05/nostr-and-atproto.html) by user nostr:npub1njst6azswskk5gp3ns8r6nr8nj0qg65acu8gaa2u9yz7yszjxs9s6k7fqx   that gave some really in-depth information about the emergence of decentralization--Scuttlebutt, ActivityPub, and then ATProtocol, and Nostr.

I'm not going to lie, I originally started writing this as a hit piece against Bluesky, thinking their ATProtocol was just a riff of what Nostr was doing. But, _apparently_, both ATP and Nostr were developed independent of each other, and mostly without any knowledge of one or the other. I think that's ... actually pretty wild, and strange.

On the topic of decentralization, which is something I feel is integral to the future of the internet, I now understand Mastodon to be a place of islands, and decentralization that occurs in a way that's more like isolated communities talking to other isolated communities. Like the latter half of The Walking Dead.

In a way, it's decentralization, the half-measure. The full-measure, that comes with some iffy trade-offs some may not like, is Nostr, and ATProtocol.

You take your identity, your thoughts, your posts, and you move freely between pieces of software, and networks, and you lose _nothing_ (this is nearly the direct opposite of Mastodon, where moving to a new server means burning everything you've ever posted, to the ground). And, honestly, I'm kind of starting to feel like that's _how it should be_. The downside, is that, on Nostr, you have a public key, and a secret key. Your secret key is something you use to log in and sign events coming from your account, and your public key is basically your identity. That's not the iffy part, though. The iffy part, is that people can use your public key to see all of your data _except_ direct messages (which are encrypted).

Not entirely _too_ scary, unless you're doing a lot of weird things on your account. But definitely something you should know if you decide that this is a journey you want to take, and you're not jaded from hearing about how much Jack Dorsey loved Nostr and it's Bitcoin affiliation (a lot of people across different platforms hold a lot of dislike for the man).

_At this point, I'm less worried about the power consumption of BTC transactions, and have more shifted that focus to content farms from the likes of Microsoft and Nvidia buying up all the AI tech they can get their grubby little hands on_.

That aside, I'm not writing this to blow smoke up the Bluesky developer's butts. I, in fact, am not favorable of Bluesky and there are some specific reasons for that. Maybe this spells their downfall, or maybe they'll be a tight-knit community that doesn't really expand all that much, _forever_.

_**Bluesky, the Apple of social media**_

Bluesky is a place that a couple million people call home (I think, last I saw, it was around 6 million or so). There's no algorithm, and much like Nostr, you own your identity. Except, for now, that's _mostly_ tied to the website's central server.

Now, obviously, there are far less people populating Nostr, but Nostr and its relays are able, and _are_ connected to both ActivityPub and Bluesky (just, not through ATProtocol).

Most of what you'll see on bsky.app are quite a few furries, an actually impressive population of Second Life users, and _quite a lot_ of LGBTQ+ people. None of these things or communities are inherently bad. In fact, I think they're probably the _only_ reason Bluesky is really alive at all, today.

My angst and negative feelings about the direction of Bluesky have nothing to do with the LGBTQ+ community, or any other community residing on the platform.
The issues I mainly hold have to do with how far up their own asses the board and developers are, in regard to the platform, and its development over the past year or so. This is why I _kind of_ think of them as the Apple of social media. And you might think, "Hey, don't you _own_ like a billion pieces of Apple tech?"

Yeah, I do.

But this is more like if Apple skipped over having Steve Jobs and just went straight to some random guy who didn't know what he was doing. You know, like putting up a wall and locking out all potential users _for a year_, and keeping all new sign-ups under lock and key via exclusive codes. As you might imagine, having that walled-garden erected through six or seven different events where people were leaving Twitter in droves, _very likely probably_ worked _against_ the social network's best interest.

Mainly, because Threads came out of absolutely nowhere, and sucked up _most_ of those users.

That's only _half_ of the issue, though. The other part to all of this, is that the developers I see directly _on_ Bluesky do not recognize or acknowledge this _at all_. Paul Frazee, whose influence goes back quite a bit further than Bluesky, posts as though it's the greatest platform _ever made_ (maybe just because he's a developer for Bluesky). But the website, despite its six million some-odd users, _feels_ almost completely dead.

Which is _ridiculous_, because, as I've said, Nostr has far less users than that, and it most definitely doesn't feel dead when you post.

Not to mention, we're over a year into Bluesky, and it still, more or less, is propped up to look, feel, and act just like Twitter did in 2014. ATProtocol, in this respect, still feels mostly like an afterthought that's inaccessible to most users.

Meanwhile, if you _really_ like Nostr, you can get going with your own chunk of the network immediately, [with about a page](https://docs.soapbox.pub/ditto/install) of install commands.

It's this mixture of grandiosity that emanates from Bluesky, and the blunder of keeping their doors closed through one exodus after another, that I think they've shot themselves in the feet so much that they now don't have feet. They have stumps.

But, if you've followed me all the way through this article, I _think_ there's a way they can blow the doors open. But, then they'd have to sort of abandon their idea of the ATProtocol, and stop trying to be the center of social media they most definitely are not, and probably never will be. And, really, that's the final issue I have with Bluesky and the ATProtocol.

It _feels_ like they're trying to do Nostr, but be corporate-owned. Bluesky doesn't feel like it's owned by the people, developed by the people, and run by the people. It feels like it's run by some suits, who give the impression that the people will have their freedom, _as long as they say it's okay_.

And that, my buddy ol' pal, just ain't okay.

_**The elephant and the ostrich**_

Which brings us squarely back to Mastodon, and Nostr. Both platforms have their own merits. Nostr is about controlling your own content, and what you see, and largely eschews censorship to a high degree. But everyone can see almost everything you do and are talking about, whenever they want. Mastodon, on the other hand, puts the tools into a user's hands to _create_ a network, and build their own communities, while picking and choosing _who_ those communities interact with. A network that ... encourages users to police everyone around them ... which is how we end up with tyrannical admins acting like they work in a prison, and they've just been promoted to Warden.

If only there were some way to take the best parts of both of these animals, and make them _one_.

An elephrich.

For now, though, I am at least pretty content to screw around with both while I feel around and see what sticks. In the age of corporate control and censorship so heavy that people can't even say "kill" or "suicide" any more (these are only two of the most egregious examples I can think of), I think it's healthy to explore your options, and cement your identity, and who you are online, before everything else we've come to know is lost _completely_.

If that's something you care about, at least.

I was thinking the same thing a few months ago, "When is the REAL Max Headroom going to make appearances randomly?"


My environment is MX Linux, Firefox, and Alby, and I always apply updates as soon as they are available.  My initial issue was that I was not able to select a theme, and it would show me a dialog box to switch to a different npub.  My spouse was able to select a theme (using the same environment, but on different hardware), but she was not able to complete the process once a theme was selected.

Currently, when I select a theme to preview, I get a red banner for a few seconds.  One said something about "profile not found".  Now they all say, "Error: Error: no site".  The page has a drop-down menu to select themes, and a bottom banner with a drop-down menu that says "All Notes", a "Use Theme" button, and my profile pic, but the rest of the page is completely white, no matter which theme I select.  When I click the "Use Theme" button, it flashes, but nothing happens.

Today she released a live song dedicated to her story and I can't find peace for a second. It's the birthday of her youngest son, a drummer, who always told her she should sing and she never found strength or time, you know how it is. Well this young man died about three years ago.
Suzanne is adorable auntie and great, strong, caring friend.
What I'm trying to say? Don't move your dreams, find the time. You are not old to start something you know you'd love. And ffs cherish your closest ones.


When I would switch people to Linux, they would quit calling me for help. The first few times this happened, I thought they were mad at me. I would call them to make sure everything was okay, and found they were more than happy with the change, and had no issues to call me about.

And yes, I'm known for helping my clients to the point of making myself nearly obsolete. Too bad that's not recognized financially. 🤣


I wish I could get it to play!


They're not my laptops, and there are no geeks in this org. I'm sure they would not be happy if I removed Windows.

I never understood the affinity for a communication tool that was designed to limit communication.

I set up two new laptops for an organization a couple of days ago. The initial sequence forced me to make a Microsoft account before letting me continue to the first login.

I kept looking for ways around it (Esc key, non-obvious opt-out link, etc), but could not pass that screen without submitting an email address to create a MS account.

If I get their permission, I'm going to make them dual-boot to Linux.


For those that can get it to work, sure.

I'm just going to keep it as an adjective. English is messed up enough already.


The etymology of "excuse" is:

"attempt to clear (someone) from blame"

also:

"pardon"

ex (meaning out or away)

causa (meaning accusation or justification for action)

The etymology of forgive is to "grant or pardon". Something that cannot be done solo.

I disagree that forgiveness (of people that aren't sorry) is essential for a better life. Better than what? Is my life so horrible because I won't forgive my mother in law for removing the dog? I have no emotions regarding the issue.

If pretending that forgiveness took place helps you process your emotions, and get them out, then it's healthy, but it's not forgiveness. If it's just a way to ignore your anger, it will kill you.

You don't have to be angry at someone to not forgive them. I'm don't agree that my mother-in-law should have sent her adult daughter's emotional support dog out of the house, but I'm not upset by it. I don't see any purpose or benefit to attempt to convince myself her actions are acceptable.

Also, I completely disagree that forgiveness is solo activity. You can't forgive someone that doesn't ask for it first. The rest is ego-stroking.


If they don't view themselves as being in the wrong, then telling them that you forgive them is insulting.

If you're not telling them, then you're not involving anyone else, so no one is forgiven.


Here's a great resource for receivers and other associated gear.

Some facts about bamboo:

1.Fast Growth: Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in the world. It has been recorded at growing 47.6 inches in 24 hours. Some species can even grow over a meter per day under optimal conditions. A new bamboo shoot reaches its full height in less than a year.

2. Oxygen Release: A grove of bamboo releases 35% more oxygen than any other tree out there.

3. Carbon Dioxide Absorption: Bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide at a rate of 17 tons per hectare every year. It can act as a valuable carbon sink given how fast the plant grows.

4. No Fertilizer Required: Bamboo doesn’t need fertilizer to grow. It can self-mulch by dropping its leaves and use the nutrients to grow.

5. Drought Resistance: Bamboos are drought-tolerant plants. They can grow in the desert.

6. Wood Replacement: Bamboos can be harvested in 3-5 years compared to the 20-30 years of most softwood trees.

7. Building Material: Bamboo is incredibly strong and sturdy. It has been used as support for concrete as well as scaffolding, bridges, and houses.

8. Soil Stability: Bamboo has a wide network of underground roots and rhizomes that prevent soil erosion.

9. Natural Air Conditioner: Bamboo cools the air surrounding it by up to 8 degrees in the summer.

10. Invasiveness: Some species of bamboo, especially ‘running’ bamboos, can be invasive due to their extensive root systems, which allow them to spread rapidly. However, not all species are invasive, and with proper management, the environmental impact can be minimized.

When I joined a home mining group, I thought it was peculiar that all of them were so concerned about fire. Most of them were under-clocking their systema too.

After a while, I realized it was mostly hype and BS; a way for these guys to feel their manhood or something. People were recommending cables that didn't even exist, along with some extreme measures, (including potentially dangerous ones); all in the name of preventing fire.

I thought my S9 was going to be some kind of home-built nightmare when it arrived. Instead, the power supply was UL certified, and even with custom fans, it drew less wattage than my space heater (which I leave on for days on end). Good luck trying to make a fire happen in that scenario.

I'm not saying you should store flash paper and black powder on it, but if it's UL certified, it's as dangerous as every "off the shelf" electrical device in your home.

If you're asking someone to ALLOW you sovereignty, then you don't understand it.


Yes you can. It's called a "real time demo". Make a fake employee to be the target, make fake documents that indicate typical data they would store (customer records, balance sheet, HR records, or whatever would be typical for their dept/industry), then hold a meeting where you demonstrate a compromise.

The resulting information should be 100% financial, showing how much they can lose, and how much they can spend to prevent the loss.


I've been working (solo, and with others) on concepts around "owning land in common" while keeping sovereignty. My idea is a network of properties that coordinate resources together, synergizing a parallel system.

When you finally start to improve yourself you’re going to make the people around you deeply uncomfortable.

Because up to this point you’ve had an unspoken agreement to be losers together.

You start winning?

“Hey man that wasn’t part of our deal?”

You become a mirror.

A mirror that people don’t like looking in.

Because it reflects their choices back at them in opposition to yours.

You’re gonna have to go it alone.

I've had to cover mine in winter due to the exposed land I'm on. Years ago, they were under some tree cover, and didn't need any assistance through winter.

Even when they had tree cover, I watched the winter temps to see if I needed to take additional measures.

At the same time, I've seen some here growing in a swampy ditch! (which I got samples of).


You might be able to grow some varieties of opuntia.

I'll post a pic later of one that seems nearly unphased to nearly any condition.

There's also an opuntia that I bought from  the produce section of a grocery store. It was in a cooler, spent last winter in a tent, and is now showing a new paddle.


My damaged cutting is throwing pups galore! They get bigger every day, I swear. I love how the new growth looks like it's glowing.

1. Go to https://nostrsync.live and backup all of your notes (unless you have a backup file already)

2. Open the backup file in your favorite text editor

3. Search for phrase


After one day, there already have been many changes to this Trichocereus.

I've often stated that we have more to fear from Artificial Stupidity than we do A.I.


I don't understand why people use Apple or Ebay. They're both disgusting.

I'd take it home. The problem is, my space is so small, I'd have to move out!


I'd be so tempted to take the snake.


This variety of Trichocereus is called "Fire", and was my tallest. The first winter at a new location damaged it a couple of years ago, so I saved cuttings, which almost all died last winter. This last remaining chunk is throwing pups like crazy this season. These pictures are from June 9th-22nd.

I installed it as a required dependency for something else I was installing on a server, which was fine.

Then, I decided to install Node and figured I would use Docker, since it's all the rage.

I ended up with Node not being available from the command line, but Docker showed an installed version. "Okay", I thought, "there's probably some configuration to do, but for now I'll remove the image from Docker."

That is when Docker informed me that the image was not installed. I verified that it showed an installed version, then decided to wipe the drive clean, mostly to clear the aura of bad design.


Ike warned of the military industrial complex when boomers were children.


New laptop arrived today. It's a Framework 16 DIY edition. Every component can be replaced,  upgraded, and is sold separately in their store or marketplace. Comes with or without OS.

I don't think Docker and I are going to get along.

It has "bottom up" design written all over it, with no sense of what is needed by the end-user.


#grief #parenting #writing

My middle child passed away a little over 2 years ago. He was 18 years old. Among many other hardships and tragedies in my life this pain is sharply unique. In some ways I've been coping well, in other ways not so much.

I am a reader and a writer. Words, language, and stories are nearly as dear to my wellbeing as food and water.

I have been writing less and less over the last couple years.

Sometimes my feelings of grief and outrage and near-relentless sorrow well up and I can breathe into the pain and make room for it and let it flow through me and out. Some of the feelings are knotted tight, coiled into nooks and caves in my inner being. I think the only way I can release or incorporate these trapped feelings is by sharing and being seen.

https://i.ibb.co/qNT2c70/img-1-1719183259634.jpg

Whenever I try to choose a memorial piece that my child’s bones will be incorporated into, I feel as though I will shatter, as though the next breath, or the one after that will begin the cracks that will spread irreversibly through me. I know this is not true. Still, I stopped looking at memorial art.

I believe I need to share my experiences, both for my own health and for the possibility that my words could positively affect someone who needs to hear them. I kept putting it off because I wanted the right words, the right timing, the right platform, the right schedule, the right persona. Because it is my learned inclination to be reserved and private and to keep most of my Self hidden most of the time.

This morning I cried suddenly, missing his smile, his laugh, his hug. I knew it was time and I promised myself that I would write AND SHARE something TODAY, and here it is.

Probiotic kraut!


Opera became a loan company a few years ago. They're willing to pander to an income at this point.


When I first saw MySpace, I couldn't figure out why the users all wanted the same web page. It seemed opposite of the name.


You're kinda hot when you say that.


Add bone meal after salting, so something worthy can eventually grow there again.


It's like air guitar, but with with DJs.


#asknostr About good LN wallets to use for zaps.


I'm not a mead maker, but I've made beer several times.  Sometimes the air-lock won't appear to be active. I've seen where sometimes it takes minutes for a single bubble to form. Also, you won't see any bubbles until enough pressure builds up.

I've also had ferments that made a column of foam through the top of the air-lock. Some looked like a torrent inside the bottle, others seemed like no activity was taking place (but sugars were still turned into alcohol at the expected percentage).

The type of yeast makes a large difference, and the conditions it thrives in (temperature, food source, etc).

Since you have bubbles in the jar, activity is taking place. The one thing I do know about mead, is that patience is needed for fermenting. I look forward to seeing more of this project!


Ironically, I can use all of those, but choose not to.


It's the classic "divide and conquer" tactic.

Divisions have been placed before us all, and promoted heavily.

Seeing what we have in common is a super power that creates community. Community is security.


If you have the Internet runs, you probably need more fiber.


I'm so old, I remember waiting while a jpg loads line by line... and that was before Primal made it cool!


I guess I'm confused why you would advocate for something that already exists. No one can stop you from working. The government (or corporations) do not dictate when you retire, you do.


One of my favorite songs by Orange Goblin.

Their first three albums are absolutely amazing, btw.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xtGs1_mpwmE


Send them on a walk.


Retirement doesn't happen when some lets you retire. It happens after you have enough money to quit working. Some people keep working anyway, but that's partially due to the unknown level of increasing prices.


Sounds like logic from the publicly educated.


Rule #1 from Zombieland ... Cardio.


There's another category.  I find it boring like water.  It's important, but I don't feel the need to discuss it constantly.


Miles Davis? That album came out decades later.

This is the "divorce causing" jazz they were referring to.

Trending lists are crap, and I never want to see them.


I Daniel Booned it.


Agreeing would be centralization.  We must never agree! :P


I might nuke it from space. It's the only way to be sure.


Other clients are fine. Nostrudel has been my replacement, even though it's on different hardware. Primal loads names and pfps perfectly on my phone.


No, it's random. Some times they're there, sometimes not.


I found you on Global. I had to wade through tons of mostr accounts, but it works.


I don't know. It started doing this after Ditto eresed parts of my profile, but I don't know if that's related. I did add a new profile to Amber and Amethyst after that fiasco, but have since removed it to see if the interface will work again, but that didn't do it.

Clearing cache didn't fix it either.


I miss pfps


Maybe you forgot to make the clicky-remote sound? I'm old school that way.


In a "fermenting for your garden" class I attended a few weekends ago, the instructor said that when plants are in the proper conditions (soil with the right microbes, and nutrients that are bioavailable to plants, etc), that the skin of the plants thickens and prevents pests from taking over.  He said his garden has plenty of bugs, but no damage.


I agree with Edward Snowden and Meredith Whittaker from Signal, “upload moderation” is a surveillance ploy.

So what are some ways to tackle CSAM without violating privacy rights or eroding encryption? I offer a few suggestions in this video and I’m open to feedback. 💜

Of the three movies, I like the one with Heath Ledger the best. The Mick Jagger one is sightly cheesy, and the newest one tries to be too artsy.


You can find me by tuning your pineal gland to channel 5.


I think they are upset about their name.


When the corrupt state enprisioned his mother, he faught back, and in unusual ways.

Three movies were made about Ned Kelly (one starring Mick Jagger, another starring Heath Ledger, and a third which contains Russell Crowe for a good portion), and most people still don't know who he is.


Looking healthy!


Confidence means "with faith".


Now I'm not sure. Still a lot of robot pics, and "this note won't load" in my feed. I'm even on all the same relays as someone boosting the "this note won't load" note.


Many of the ancient megalithic pyramid structures have cannals below them, no matter what continent they are on.


I'm stoked for you! Hoorah! 😀


The jester originates from the shaman. That is why they are often depicted wearing two colors (a symbol that they are standing between two worlds). As an advisor, giving bad news can be lethal, so giving it as a joke might be safer, eh?

Later, the jester is depicted as a buffoon that says what everyone is thinking, and less of an advisor with supernatural talents.


Considering that many of the apps for Nostr are still user-hostile, it takes a certain level of IQ and determination to even be here. 😜


I think that worked! Thank you!


It all depends on the organization. Sometimes the role is very active (organizing activities, people, funds, etc),. For other organizations, the board members may act more like subject matter experts, and only become active when something calls for their expertise.

For most businesses, it is similar to a council of elders, making sure the larger picture has an optimal goal.

Library (if it hasn't become a homeless shelter).


Greater transport, and increased communication, in addition to breaking down compounds, and generating new ones.


Nah, a monopolist in a fiat regime.


I don't think that's going to change how people are displayed.


They are delicious poison, and the money seems to go to a good cause. Obvously, the work of satan.

I've thought about buying cases of Girl Scout Cookies while they're selling (which is a limited duration each year). Then, a few months after sales stop, when everyone has finished their cookies and going through withdrawls, open my black market sales at 300% of the original retail price.


Maybe we all died, and no one sent the memo?


Not just cookies...Girl Scout Cookies! This is hilarious!🤣


Ever since my Ditto fiasco, half the people in my feed appear as robot icons with npub names. 🤮

It's like Nostr is broken now. Did my relays get messed with? Is this a new defect with Amethyst? Any clues as how to remedy this?


Get a college degree.


Maybe you love your culture, but not your state? I know my state opposes me, so I'm not fond of it. The people and terrain, however, are lovely!


The world needs more Frank Zappa.


It's "Cheeky Monday" on sub.fm for the next hour or so.


That is, unless you want your lightning address, name, picture, etc removed in one shot.


Something avoid, apparently.


I lost all my follows after using Ditto.

If I was following you before, it might take me a while to add you back.


I didn't. And fuck you.


I used a browser extension.


I played with Ditto, and now my profile is screwed up. Fucking lame.


Now my profile in Nostr is screwed up. Fucking lame.


Now that I've completed the following steps ...

5. Copy the desired username, including "@oregonbitcoiners.com".
6. Go to: Settings->Edit Profile
7. In the "Username" text field, paste your username from step 5.
8. Press the "Save" button

... I should be posting to the right place?


For me, using Firefox in Linux, the steps were:

1. Go to: Settings->Identity
2. Enter a desired username
3. Answer the question, "Why do you wan this name?" in the text area with a snarky answer.
4. Hit the "Request" button.


Why the fuck not?


Yeah, you can't fill a closed bucket, but there are plenty of people that would be able to apply discernment when taught what to look for.

Just because most people don't know or practice orienteering, does not mean they would be opposed to, or not able to, learn how to use a map and compass together.

I believe the Trivium was removed from public education intentionally. It now takes outside effort (from themselves or others) for people to learn the concepts related to critical thinking.

How to change your Android phone's DNS to Google, Cloudflare or Other DNS Provider

You should know the risks when you use your phone to browse the internet on a public network. Turning on Private DNS ensures your queries are encrypted and protected from malicious actors. This guide shows you how to change your phone’s DNS to Google or Cloudflare (or other) for a faster and more secure browsing experience.

Besides the speed and performance, these DNS services offer additional security, like DNS-over-HTTPS and DNSSEC. And they don't keep a log of user activity, which could pose a security risk. And since your browsing activity is encrypted, your ISP or a hacker cannot determine the websites you visit.

Although the linked article mentions Google and Cloudflare, there is also an option to set a private DNS hostname as well, such as Quad9. You just need to type the actual DNS address in to use it.

The iPhone can do the same thing (but Wi-Fi only as far as I recall), so it is worth exploring these settings under Wi-Fi settings.

"Automatic registration would replace the coming-of-age tradition that all 18-year-old male U.S. citizens experience when they get a card in the mail from Uncle Sam informing them that they're required under threat of criminal penalties to register for the Selective Service."

🤣🤣🤣 For me, the principal of the high school pulled me out of class, took me to the front office, and coerced me with threats.


And is it measuring purity? Volume? Availability? Temperature? Pressure?


Thank you! It was a hard road, but the lesson has been a major blessing for me.


Maybe, but the devs decided to keep it a mystery.


Mostly due to mostr.


Love being presented as the opposite of fear is a dead end. Trying to love your way out of fear is an exercise in futility.

You might as well say that the opposite of drunk driving is puppies.

Fear is eliminated by confidence. The word confidence comes from the Latin words for "with trust/faith".

It took me most of my life to learn the antidote, and love isn't it.


I think it's a "wiki for cities".


"A new Nostr client? Cool!"
Goes to the Satlantis page
"Absolutely no description? What are the prices for? Hmm, a description of a city. What is this solving?"

It looks slick, and appears to be useless.

If a new user can't tell why they would want to use your software, they won't use it.


Those are also the same symptoms for magnesium deficiency. Something to consider while enhancing your diet.
