That feeling when you get a vulnerability report for a software library used in your project and the suggested remediation is "none" because no one has patched the vulnerability.
Second place is when the suggested remediation is "none" because other software dependencies have conflicts that prevent you from updating to a patched version.

I thought perhaps I had a few hundred notes, but turns out if you want a comprehensive history that includes everyone's interactions with my notes, it's over 26,000! Gonna bump up the to-do list priority on running my own relay.
I own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended.
Four ruffians break into my house.
"What the devil?" I exclaim as I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle.
Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and it nails the neighbor's dog.
I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads!" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and shrapnel set off car alarms.
Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He bleeds out in front of frantic paramedics since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up.
Just as the founding fathers intended.
It really is a form of puritanism, which is fine for one to choose for themselves of course. But shaming others for being "less pure" is when it becomes ridiculous.
It's a tale as old as time. People build their entire identity around one idea and inevitably some of them get culty about it.

My lightning node was down for weeks and I didn't notice because I had monitors on everything except the lnd process 😞
Sadly, no clue as to why it crashed.
The average beard is composed of 120,000 follicles, so if you pull out / lose 100 hairs per day then (assuming a random distribution) your average beard hair age will reach equilibrium at 3.29 years.
These are the weird math problems I find myself doing late at night.
I've had several neighbors over the years who were TSA agents, so it was interesting to observe them outside of work.
My conclusion was that they tend to be extremely average: intelligent enough to follow orders but not intelligent enough to question them.
I don't fear death; I expect it will be as peaceful as pre-birth.
I do fear that my words and thoughts will fail to be preserved and all traces of my existence will be lost. That is the ultimate death.
For sovereignty to be widespread it must be part of a social contract. People must come and together deploy these systems for the common good. Sovereignty only extends so far as the cooperation of one's fellows in society.

A couple weeks ago the Relay for Reddit app I've used for many years stopped working because the developer added a dependency on Google Play services to force paid subscriptions. GrapheneOS doesn't play well with that.
So I begrudgingly switched to the Infinity app. Well, this week it appears they started blocking all known VPN and data center IP addresses.
I hate this recurring feeling as a Cypherpunk that the walls keep closing in.
Few folks care about privacy and Bitcoiners are no exception. Probably only a bit higher than the general populace due to the Cypherpunk roots.
This should be pretty clear from comparing the exchange rate history of Bitcoin against privacy coins.
There is such a thing as being too close to a fireworks 🎆 show. It's hard to enjoy the view when you have soot raining down upon you and getting in your eyes.
Be the algorithm you want to see. nostr:nevent1qqsqc9p7qlr8jmxe3wf738qwur27hrhjswzekjarzmntwlv8jxsm5mspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzq0mhp4ja8fmy48zuk5p6uy37vtk8tx9dqdwcxm32sy8nsaa8gkeyqvzqqqqqqyzec3dt
I own the domain "bitcoin.toys" and have decided to sell it to someone dedicated to the intersection of Bitcoin and entertainment. Asking price is well below market value at only 21 BTC.
All proceeds will go to research and development of my pet #Bitcoin and #nostr projects. DM if interested.

Nah, we shill security services for folks who already have BTC and/or ETH. We don't tell folks that they SHOULD have BTC and/or ETH because we don't provide financial advice.
I'm taking
NMN
Resveratrol
Fish Oils Omega-3
Zinc
Vitamin D3
Selenium
And much more...
Tried Berberine a few years ago but stopped, wasn't sure it did much for me.
I'm not really sure of much at the moment because I've just started recently and want to go 6 months before comparing various tests.
I interact with plenty of accounts that are pseudonymous and have genderless names. So yes, in those cases I do. But it's irrelevant, so it's not a struggle by any means since I don't bother trying.
