 Day late and dollar short. Finally got my boosting issues resolved. Anyways, my first experience with Linux was SuSE 7 back in high school. Shout out to Mr. Halalay. Made a huge impression on my life. 

This is a zipcode boost, btw

Heard about [Zen browser](https://zen-browser.app/) on [FLOSS Weekly](https://fountain.fm/episode/U8jNhXa49rsXv2dN8XZK) this morning. Decided to take it for a spin and I'm liking it so far. May replace LibreWolf for me

 GM, #nostriches. Telegram's translation feature has really spoiled me. Are the any #nostr clients that effortlessly allow you to translate posts?

 Forgive me, but in what way is that a privacy concern. Aren't all of these notes public? Obviously excluding DMs 
 I'm still really enjoying #nixOS but I have so much work to do on my config. I end up avoiding using my laptop simply because I haven't had the time to figure out the Nix way of doing something. I'll get there eventually. NixOS is still a very exciting, fun approach that I highly suggest to anyone even slightly curious

 Idk. It's been a day and a half so maybe I'm just brain dead. Everything I saw in the post seemed like common knowledge though. I'm an Eastern Orthodox convert though so maybe we have a different relationship to all that history

 I love how many people on Nostr will just post some random question out there. Then a homie sees it and boosts it with the tag #asknostr to try getting the question answered. #nostriches are real ones

Today the Church of Russia joyfully forms a chorus, / praising her New Martyrs and Confessors; / hierarchs and priests, royal passion-bearers, right-believing princes and princesses, / venerable men and women, and all Orthodox Christians. / Having laid down their life for faith in Christ during the days of godless persecution, / they preserved the truth by the shedding of blood. / By their protection, O long-suffering Lord, / preserve our land in Orthodoxy until the end of the age.

 New case and upgraded antenna from Muzi Works for my Heltec. Case was a bear to assemble. Probably just user error

 How have you added GPS functionality?  
 Ahhhhh I see. I haven't tried that. Just put coordinates in for fixed GPS. I'll tinker with that later and see if I can get it to work for me

 Does anyone attend a church that accepts #bitcoin donations? How does that work? I assume it is treated similarly by the IRS as far as being a tax-free institution goes? What about the tax writeoff the donator? Would that be the value at the time the donation was given?

And how does holding the sats practically work? A hardware wallet? Multisig?

#asknostr #plebchain #christian 
 Do you have anything constructive to add? 
 I understand the concern and appreciate it, but we have to be able to meet normies where they are. I am trying to view things from the current status quo and seeing how we can integrate BTC. Telling the 65 year old treasurer that we need to burn the system down is unproductive, even if true lol

Why do you hate the term wallet for BTC? Do you like it for others? 
 Thanks! I'll take a look. Cold Card has a pretty decent video walkthrough too. But would likely be an uphill battle to get buy-in.

And yeah, you're right about wallets 
 Bane? In what way? I understand it being an inaccurate term but idk about a bane. It helped make BTC approachable enough for a slowbro like me to get started 
 Why is that a necessary precursor? 
 TBH, I think that may be more of a personal thing. Without a doubt I'm sure plenty feel just like you. I, however, need to get my hands dirty and make mistakes. If it wasn't for a BTC wallet appearing to be approachable I may not have stayed interested long enough to learn about keys, signing, &c. I'm sorry it caused you so much anguish though 
 Oh no lol I don't take personal responsibility lol just saying that it sucks you had to go through that.

So do you just describe a wallet as a key management system for signing blockchain transactions?

Also, I think things like Nostr can help bridge the information/jargon gap. I asked a stupid question the other day about zap.store and it helped me understand the obvious about keys. Playing with Nostr and Amber can help solidify these concepts so that things like BTC can be understood more as they actually are

 What's your actual name, if you don't mind, so that I can properly remember you in my prayers?

Also, what's your religious background if any and how did you stumble across Orthodoxy? 
 Yup, similarish here too. It'd be funny if it didn't make sense. At my son's baptize last weekend I walked in on a convo two friends were having. The one, who has 9 children, was saying how thankful, in a sense, he is that the world is so upside-down. The contrast of church life and secular life is so striking that you can't pretend that things are just fine. So of course we're discovering the Church. It's the only thing that could make sense 
 I made a community for the #orthodox christians and for those who are interested in Orthodoxy.

 Why would I want to associate my npub with my apps in zap.store? I understand using WoT to see what the homies have installed and such, but seems like I'm just putting what apps I have installed for everyone to see. Am I missing something? Am I being paranoid?

#asknostr #plebchain 
 I understand that I don't NEED to enter anything. Just trying to understand the tradeoffs, if any.

Interesting point about how any npub can be entered. Wouldn't that muddy the waters? If I plugged your npub in then it'd appear to your friends that you have not only your apps, but my apps installed as well, correct? Apologies if I'm missing something simple or overcomplicating things 
 Thank you! I think I understand better now. I didn't think about the obvious amount point you made. Also, I overlooked that what's being checked is the signer's identity. I thought it would show me whether a friend has Fountain installed or not. Thank you, and Elsat, for your patience.

FWIW, I have enjoyed zap.store for the short time I've been using it
