"Stop making excuses!"
I found this guiding principle very transformative. Don't deceive yourself and others with excuses as to why you do or don't do something. Excuses get in the way of you becoming a better you. They distract you from learning from mistakes and keep you stuck in place. I expect the same from the people around me. No excuses! Making mistakes or not doing things is perfectly OK. But justifying it with excuses doesn't allow for progress. In my mid-30s, I pinned a few leitmotifs in mirror writing behind my bathroom mirror so that I could see them in the mirror every morning.
In my mid-40s I can say - 'Stop making excuses' has the greatest transformative power.
keine gute Entwicklung. Bei uns im erweiterten Familienkreis gabs einen Scamversuch, der auf Social Media Daten beruhte. Meine Kinder haben es jetzt kapiert
😅
+1 @GrapheneOS allows for a duress pin / password which will wipe the phone once it is entered ... good feeling to have that even though I hope I will never need it...
Wow, geil! Hätte nicht gedacht, dass mir auf meiner Privacyreise mal ein Udo Jürgens Song begegnet. Das Stück ist sicherlich nach den Snowden Leaks 2013 entstanden.
Super Song, dazu tanz ich nackt auf der @Zitadelle2025 👏🤓💫
Hiking in the mountains 🏔 ...
(is accumulated proof of work,
is honest and can be tough, is genuine and verifiable, takes its time, doesn't allow for shortcuts, is sustainable, provides with new perspectives, is empowering, requires self-responsibility, is a personal and voluntary decision, disconnects you from the noise, pulls you out of the matrix, lets you enjoy the moment and look forward to the future)
... is like #Bitcoin 💜

In Deutschland kommt die elektronische Patientenakte. Obwohl meine Krankenkasse drängt, habe sie bis jetzt nicht aktiviert. Das Risiko von Gesundheits-Daten-Tracking und Daten-Leaks ist mir zu groß. Ob ich um die #ePa herum komme, weiß ich nicht. Was macht ihr?
Ich bin auf den Blogbeitrag von Kuketz sehr gespannt.

Zum Thema Expertentum:
Expertise und ideologielscher Bias müssen scharf voneinander getrennt sein. Alternativ müssen Experten ihren Bias offen legen, wenn sie einen haben.
In der Wissenschaft gilt der Grundsatz, einen Conflict of Interest immer transparent zu machen.
Mir scheint es auf der anderen Seite so zu sein, dass der Mainstream keine wirklich sachlich neutrale Expertise mehr zu ertragen vermag. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass von Experten eigentlich auch immer eine ideologische Stellungnahme erwartet wird, um eine ideologische Polarisierung zu verstärken.
Wirklich sachlich neutrale Expertise kann aber nicht ideologisch geprägt sein, weil sie im Sinne der Wahrheitsfindung ergebnisoffen sein muss.
Ich wünsche mir sehr, dass wir wieder mehr in der Lage sein können, die Faktenlage neutral zu analysieren, um dann wirklich sinnvolle Handlungen ableiten zu können. Wir sollten uns weniger mit ideologischem Bias im Expertentum aufhalten müssen.
Aber dahin scheint sich die Welt gerade nicht zu entwickeln ... das ist jetzt mein Bias 😉. Sachlich neutrale Analyse (aushalten können) wird immer mehr zu einer Super-Power.
I have reduced my digital advertising exposure to a minimum - very liberating 🤓:
- no more linear TV and no more commercials for years
- switched from Google Android to @GrapheneOS - no more mobile operating system tracking, no more Google data mining for ads in God mode
- switched from Google Chrome to Brave Browser (mobile/PC) / Vanadium => cookie tolerance and tracking in settings reduced as far as possible
- watch YouTube only via Brave Browser => blocks all advertising
- Accounts for all meta products deleted and apps removed (Whatsapp, FB, Insta)
- Checked all Android apps for trackers and permissions on https://exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/
=> deleted many apps & open accounts in browser only, because almost all apps track in order ro sell data to multiple data brokers
- switched to privacy email services @Tuta
and @Proton Mail to avoid email tracking
- use hide-my-email aliases from @Proton Mail for commercial burner log-ins
- Social media 90% Nostr / 10% X (twitter only in browser)
- only in-podcast and in-video advertising from content creators remain. Understand that they do it for monetization, but I always fast forward. Sorry, not sorry.
- I send V4V for pods that are V4V only
Our podcast @Nodesignal Podcast is Value 4 Value only. It works without advertising.
Be the change you want to see!
I use Brave to play YT videos. It works as long as I don't open videos via links posted in other apps, e.g. from Telegram. Once I use a YT link forwarded from another app, it requires a YT log in and won't play the video. Solution: close brave session (delete session history if not done automatically), use new VPN location (change IP address) and search video in brave/YT directly. Maybe it's the same with Newpipe.
KYC my ass.

I watched the HBO ‘Money Electric’ documentary. Yes, it was entertaining. However, compared to documentaries like ‘Human B’ and ‘Mysterium Satoshi’ (arte), which each attempt to approach an essence of Bitcoin in an individual way, it is very superficial.
It seems to me that the real intention of the filmmaker was to document the nation-state adoption of Bitcoin over the course of the past 3-4 years. Hence the many shots with Samson Mow and Prince Philip.
As there hasn't been much news about nation-state adoption since El Salvador, the film footage that was recorded probably didn't provide that much after all.
So a new (old) story had to be found: ‘Who is Satoshi?’
Bitcoin is so endlessly interesting, its technology is a marvel, its social layer is so diverse and full of enthusiastic individuals who want to change the world for the better. And all the filmmaker can think of is 'Who the fuck is Satoshi!?!'
Tell me you don't understand Bitcoin without telling me you don't understand Bitcoin - by pseudo-investigatively pursuing this question and clumsily confronting your Satoshi candidate, yes, Peter Todd, with your supposed revelations using thin arguments.
Had the author of the documentary used his time-consuming research to really dive deeper into the essence of Bitcoin, had he tried to understand what gift Satoshi gave the world, then he would have treated the character Satoshi and his creation Bitcoin with more reverence and focused the documentary more profoundly.
If you haven't seen the documentary yet, save yourself some time and watch “Human B” or “Mystery Satoshi” again. Or simply read a good book like the “Genesis Book” by Aaron van Wirdum. After reading this deep dive into the prehistory of Bitcoin, it becomes clear that there are many relevant facts on the path to the creation of Bitcoin - but the question of who Satoshi ultimately is is not one of them.
The crucial thing is that Satoshi did what was necessary after he launched a new, decentralized, global, inflation-resistant and censorship-resistant money - he kept his pseudonymity and ultimately disappeared.
Much more interesting is the question of where I got the documentary without an HBO account. LOL.
100%
Pseudonymity is and has always been a key feature of the Bitcoin privacy model.
This should apply to your own pubkey and identity as well as Satoshi's. If Satoshi had wanted to reveal his identity, he would have done so. It is a matter of decency to respect this.
I am so tired of this KYC mentality, which is also inherent in the documentary.

If the state forces you to only use fully KYCed paper bitcoin on some centralized fully suveilled custodian exchange, this ain't Bitcoin for sure.
HOWEVER, If you can privately flip a coin to generate a seed, use FOSS wallets and DIY signer, verify your txs on a node with the software of your choice, run coinjoins, YES, it is Bitcoin.
If Bitcoin loses its dissident-money qualities, we will lose it in its form as fuck-you-money. MAKE BITCOIN FUCK-YOU-MONEY AGAIN
Hab mir beim Reupload den Kopf gestoßen 👦

Besides my Bitcoin node, I want to self-host more stuff (PW-Manager, SimpleX, file Sharing, music/video, Nostr, google docs equivalent, etc.).
I am torn between yunohost on a vps and @start9 on a local mini server.
Ideally, I move my node from my raspiblitz to the new instance. But not a must.
What are your recommendations?
#asknostr
Hadere noch mit mir, weil ich einigen Normie Accounts folge, die nicht auf nostr sind. Aus meiner Sicht ist Bitcoin Twitter aber tot. Evtl mach ich einfach einen anon x Account. Gebe mir bis Ende des Jahres. Ich kann nicht zentralisiert, wenn es auch dezentral geht...😅
