>>>PEN GIVEAWAY<<<

Pen giveaway update!
https://i.nostr.build/RMLFw7fDK36rjS6X.jpg
Two new pens have arrived for future giveaways!!

These two don't have clips!! Now I prefer the clip versions, but I figured I should include a few of the clipless A1's for the few people who might prefer them. The clip can really be in some people's way and this model features a simple and sleek roll-stop instead. I'll give these away in future giveaways and I'll be sure to make it clear that this version is what is on offer.

As always, you can reply to this note, send me a DM or request through Simplex or 0XChat for this month's giveaway.

That's gorgeous!

This @ is worth a minimum of 250 sats.


Good point.

Done and done.

These Q cases I sell aren't the most complex construction, but each of them still contains a non-negligeable amount of work due to the tight 3mm spacing I use between each stitch.

I just ran the numbers and each of them contains about 174 stitch all individually done by hand.

Work is Bitcoin

I love it! Great entry!!


I had a friend who had that happen to them once. It sounds crazy to me.

I've had some pretty vivid dreams but nothing like living an entire life.


Two more pens showed up for future contests!
https://i.nostr.build/sY8o5mX5Bla2XS6j.jpg
That puts me at 5 pens to give away which means we have until February 2025 so far.

I'm looking forward to these giveaways, I've got a bunch of ideas about timing, entry requirements etc.

That being said, don't forget to submit your entries for this month's giveaway! You've got until the end of the month!

You may have heard of the "slippery slope"

First, you discover #nostr, then #LoRa and #Meshtastic, then things built on top of these like #reticulum and #nomadnet

After that, you decide to stick it to the closed source software. You purge Windows and macOS, switch to #GrapheneOS and #Linux.

Then you start purging the simple closed source #hardware starting with all those IoT devices. #Nest ain't hoovering up your data anymore. You tell #Ring to GFY. #OpenSource everything.

Next thing you know, you're driving around with your #phone in airplane mode. Good luck tracking your every move now, overlords.

Then you're biking & walking with your phone in airplane mode instead of driving. High gas prices, drivers licenses, car insurance, #ALPR systems... they ain't gonna stop you.

Then you start your own #garden and learning how to preserve food. 50% inflation on food? Not a huge deal. You got this.

Later your leaving all #electronics at home and paying for everything in cash. You know the routes that minimize exposure to security cameras. You're nearly a ghost.

I'm not sure what comes after that, but I'll let you know when I get there.

These may happen in a slightly different order. Each person has their own path. But once you start going down the "STOP FUCKING EXPLOITING ME" path, and stop paying the people who are doing it, it's extremely hard to stop. It feels so good to be free from all that nonsense. You want to keep going and never look back. #cypherpunk

Take the plunge. Start with just some small things. You won't regret it. And if I'm wrong, you can always turn back anytime.


That's awesome!


Love it.

I mean that's fair, but I would still definitely keep a good effort up on Nostr. It's a long-term investment.

People keep noting that Nostr is dead or that there are only a few of us on here.

I know some of this is probably joking. However, for me I find my 'People' are appearing more and more. In the 18 months, or so, I've been on Nostr the Homesteader, Permaculture, Self-sufficiency, grow your own food community is growing and reaching a point where my feed can mostly be those people.

Let's be positive about Nostr, strength in numbers and diversity of content. This is the way.

Her: do you want to donate to the children?
Me:no
Her : round up?
Me: No
Her: are you sure?
Me: I have 3 kids. Do you want to donate to them? They are expensive.


I'm not a fan of cities in general so it's a hard sell for me anyways.


Going to have to disagree there.

Traveling through the city (and GTA) is a nightmare. Traffic is simply insane at almost all times of the day. The noise ranges from "constant drone of traffic" to "annoyingly loud horn/siren/garbage truck.

The core of the city is nice on foot for a day but spending more than that is too much.

It's fine to visit for a day, maybe two but you'll never convince me it's a beautiful city, not when places like Venice exist.


Good question. My instinct tells me this isn't necessary but maybe I'm wrong?

"But how do I enter this contest through which I may be able to shame my Auntie!?" I hear you ask with great concern and worry.

Well pull up a upside-down business goose to use as a stool and let me tell you dear Nostrich how you may do so.

To enter is simple. I wish for handwriting samples! But not just any handwriting will do, oh no, I have a need for pangrams.
https://i.nostr.build/C80l3veJ3qrZBlbQ.jpg
Now a pangram is easy enough. It's a sentence that uses every letter of the (english) alphabet. You can look lists of them up online. Some examples are:

Jack amazed a few girls by dropping the antique onyx vase.

The five boxing wizards jump quickly.

Puzzled women bequeath jerks very exotic gifts.

Brown jars prevented the mixture from freezing too quickly.

You get the idea.

Now my dearest of Nostriches, I wish for you to send me an example of any pangram you find that you like. You may use one of these I've listed here or you may find your own. Write it out in your own handwriting and send me a picture of it! Yoy can reply to this note, send me a DM or request thrpugh Simplex or 0XChat.
https://i.nostr.build/jjL22ZroEEo8LFzO.jpg
You can make it as fancy or as plain as you like as you are not being judged on the relative "quality" of the handwriting. It is merely a proof-of-work.

You may send up to five (different) pangrams to have five chances to win. I'll repost this note every day for the month of October so people can get their entries in! The contest opens on the first of October and the draw will be on the 31st.

Now if you don't win this time fear not my frens, this will not be your only chance. I'll be doing one of these once a month on #nostronly.

I'm going to be honest, I'm a little jealous of the Vanishing Point. As much as I love the MaJohns, I do wish to grab myself a VP at some point.

https://i.nostr.build/iDTqEIkyRaomL6bl.jpg

My dearest Nostriches, I figured I would take a moment here to answer some questions about the contest that have come up since it started so strap in and prepare for some info straight to your brainholes.

Q: How do I submit to the contest?
A: You can respond to the daily notes I post or send me a DM either through your client, 0xChat or Simplex.

Q: Are you sharing or judging these entries at the end?
A: No. Unless you posted them publicly they won't be shared. Entries are simply a proof-of-work and not being judged on any metric.

Q: How long is the contest running?
A: This one is for the entire month of October and the draw will be in the 31st.

Q: Will there be more contests?
A: Yes.

Q: Will the contests always follow this format?
A: Probably not. A month is a long time to monopolize my notes with. Plus I'm sure people are sick of seeing very similar notes from me everyday. I will likely shorten them down to a week or two in future but this one will remain the way it is.

That's it for now but I'll post another Q&A note if there are any other questions that come up.

I'm going to keep doing these you know, this is far from the only one.

I'm going to do a monthly giveaway, each with one of these pens and the sealed giftbox.

So far I've got two pens sealed and several more on the way to be done for future giveaways.

I love fountain pens and I want to share that with Nostr as widely as I can.


Need a real one, the font and your info.


LOVE THIS


Now you have to write it out and send it to me to get the entry!


THIS IS THE BEST.

Love that you worked Bitcoin into it!

How many ppl actively use #nostr

I use it almost every day.

>>>PEN GIVEAWAY<<<

My dearest Nostriches, here is the still-official pen giveaway announcement... AGAIN!!

I'm giving away a brand new MaJohn A1 with an extra fine nib! This is one of my favorite #EDC pens and in the spirit of V4V, I want to give a lucky Nostrich a chance to win their own capless fountain pen so they can brag to their friends.
https://i.nostr.build/sY8o5mX5Bla2XS6j.jpg
"But how do I enter this contest!?" I hear you ask with great concern and worry.

Well pull up a well-dressed Gnome to use as a stool and let me tell you dear Nostrich.

To enter is simple. I wish for handwriting samples! But not just any handwriting will do, oh no, I have a need for pangrams.
https://i.nostr.build/C80l3veJ3qrZBlbQ.jpg
Now a pangram is easy enough. It's a sentence that uses every letter of the (english) alphabet. You can look lists of them up online. Some examples are:

Jack amazed a few girls by dropping the antique onyx vase.

The five boxing wizards jump quickly.

Puzzled women bequeath jerks very exotic gifts.

Brown jars prevented the mixture from freezing too quickly.

You get the idea.

Now my dearest of Nostriches, I wish for you to send me an example of any pangram you find that you like. You may use one of these I've listed here or you may find your own. Write it out in your own handwriting and send me a picture of it! Yoy can reply to this note, send me a DM or request thrpugh Simplex or 0XChat.
https://i.nostr.build/jjL22ZroEEo8LFzO.jpg
You can make it as fancy or as plain as you like as you are not being judged on the relative "quality" of the handwriting. It is merely a proof-of-work.

You may send up to five (different) pangrams to have five chances to win. I'll repost this note every day for the month of October so people can get their entries in! The contest opens on the first of October and the draw will be on the 31st.

Now if you don't win this time fear not my frens, this will not be your only chance. I'll be doing one of these once a month on #nostronly.
https://i.nostr.build/iDTqEIkyRaomL6bl.jpg
So if you or any of your frens like fountain pens that come in nicely decorated boxes then this is your chance to win a great daily driver of your own!

FACTS
Karine Jean-Pierre just said it is "categorically false" that FEMA uses it's funding to resettle illegal aliens.

This is in spite of the fact that it is literally advertised directly on FEMA's website.

FACTS Matter

I like you.

We probably disagree on a bunch of stuff, but you make excellent points.

I would also include Liberals (and indeed "Conservatives") in Canada. They're undoubtedly included in that 11%.


You shouldn't give drugs to homeless people.


That is an excellent point.

My feet get the trickle down. Legs get washed.

Follow up question:

Do you shave your face in the shower or in front of the mirror?


Attacking people in general usually has them doubling down on their original behavior.

The only times I (and most people I would venture) ever change behavior are when a decent argument is made politely. Kindness and patience always win over bullying.

My broad impression of the left is that they attempt to bully others to get their way.

The right imposes their way and then acts dismisssively when objections are brought up.

There's way more to it then that obviously but that's a start.


Love it.

Right?


And yet those who didn't want to get jabbed were largely attacked by the left proving their core values are opportunistic at best.

My body my choice doesn't apply when they change the "rules"around transmission and immunity of a well-marketed flu.


I used to work at a place that was part seasonal and part permanent.

The permanent guys WITHOUT FAIL called all of the seasonal guys "Jim."

They didn't bother remembering names. Just called everyone Jim.

It was beautiful.


But now you've started a thing and the thing is good.

I was really struggling with how I wanted to top off these pen prizes.

At first I was thinking of doing a sticker with some branding on it but that felt tacky. This isn't about me.

Then I was thinking of maybe doing a pangram or saying. Maybe a piece of scripture? Enh. It's closer but still didn't feel right.

But then it came to me.

Why not just do a wax seal?

Enter my second Rose Seal.
https://i.nostr.build/iDTqEIkyRaomL6bl.jpg
I haven't used this seal for my letters yet so I figured I would debut it for this contest!

It's quite a lovely larger seal and it works well to seal these pens up nicely!
https://i.nostr.build/sOvsGkfuPoNzj8mH.jpg
So far, I've got two done and ready for their respective contests. The first one to be won will be the green and red.
https://i.nostr.build/roiq8calWKayP5Yd.jpg
All pens will be sealed uniquely. The rose will likely stay the same for the time being but I'll mix up the colors to keep it interesting!

Anyways, wanted to share that minir update to the prizes. I wanted to make them special and I think this qualifies them for that.

Well pull up an ornately carved, wooden stool and let me tell you dear Nostrich.

To enter is simple. I need me a handwriting sample! But not just any handwriting will do, oh no, I have a need for pangrams.

Now a pangram is easy enough. It's a sentence that uses every letter of the (english) alphabet. You can look lists of them up online. Some examples are:

Jack amazed a few girls by dropping the antique onyx vase.

The five boxing wizards jump quickly.

Puzzled women bequeath jerks very exotic gifts.

Brown jars prevented the mixture from freezing too quickly.

You get the idea.

Now my dearest of Nostriches, I wish for you to send me an example of any pangram you find that you like, you can use one of these or you may find your own. Write it out in your own handwriting and send me a picture of it! You can make it as fancy or as plain as you like as you are not being judged on the relative "quality" of the handwriting. It is merely a proof-of-work.

You may send up to five (different) pangrams to have five chances to win. I'll repost this note every day for the month of October so people can get their entries in! The contest opens on the first of October and the draw will be on the 31st.

Now if you don't win this time fear not my frens, this will not be your only chance. I'll be doing one of these once a month on #nostronly.

So if you or any of your frens like fountain pens then this is your chance to win a great daily driver of your own!

Good Night! 🌙💤


I noticed that as well.


Love this.

I struggle a lot and I feel those consequences towards the bottom in the society around me.

I try to fight it the best I can but it's difficult when I'm working so often and I'm always tired or distracted or working on another project.

Solid answer though. Have me something to think about.

20  Woe to those who call evil good

and good evil,

who put darkness for light

and light for darkness,

who put bitter for sweet

and sweet for bitter!

21  Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,

and shrewd in their own sight!

22  Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,

and valiant men in mixing strong drink,

23  who acquit the guilty for a bribe,

and deprive the innocent of his right!

Good morning!! ☀☕

It's 10:28 PM here so GN!!!!


Oh shit man, I'm glad you're okay.

The corny chat group is awesome. I'm very thankful that you were in such good company while you were going through that.


Yes there is.

In a degrading society, greatness and achievement are not valued.

Makes it easier to stand out.


Yup.


It's pretty badass. I must find an exceptional home for it.


There will be a post explaining the whole thing very soon!


I hate it when people say "I'm speaking my truth."

Fucking cringiest shit ever.


It's too bad his handlers told him to onboard a WEF shill as a CEO.

OH FUCK


I always tip well in sit down restaurants, or at least I used to when we could afford to do that.

What I don't tip is mediocre service.

The Subway near us for example, the people are clearly just doing a job. They're not kind or engaging or even friendly and Hell, most of them barely speak english anymore. They are stingy with the toppings and they put you through as fast as they can.

I don't expect the world, but the "I'm just here for a paycheque" attitude really comes through and I refuse to tip that sort of thing.

Well I'll have to add this movie to my list.


I hear the floor offers a wide variety off additional nutrients to those who may be cranky due to vitamin deficiencies.

Also spit if they're a bitch.

🤣🤣🤣🤣


This transgender stuff is just annoying. Ok, you can claim to be whatever gender you want, who gives a damn(?), it doesn’t really matter. But to claim that basic biology isn’t real is just wishful thinking.


Always treat servers with respect.

I once dated a girl who treated servers with a cold attitude, bordering on hostility.

I did not date her long after that.


You're my favorite.


Yes. 100% yes.

Never talk to the Police

In his viral video with 20 million views,

James Duane makes the surprising case for why you should never talk to the police:

A few of his many arguments are:
--They can and do lie about anything, including the law

--They can and do take things way out of context to hurt you, including exaggerating even your tone or pauses

--Even if you think you've done nothing wrong, it can and does lead to convictions:

--You may have unknowingly committed a crime, and you just admitted to it.

--You may bring up erroneous but believable evidence even if you're innocent

His core thesis is:
There is NOTHING TO GAIN by talking to the police, You CAN'T talk your way out of being arrested.

What you say CAN'T be used to HELP you, it CAN'T be submitted at trial, the judge would dismiss it as "hearsay".  Police and lawyers have confirmed, that NEVER ONCE did talking to the police help avoid an arrest.

But there is EVERYTHING TO LOSE, as they can twist and contort literally anything you say into a crime.

Numerous legal scholars and even police officers have agreed with his views, causing it go viral even though the mainstream media will never tell you about it.  Get this suppressed knowledge now, and smash the repost to help our fellow nostr family members,

Oh and probably some pen stuff too.

USPS has so many cool stamps. I've been wanting to get into writing letters with my #FountainPens and, ya know what, those stamps are kinda pushing me over the edge.

Seriously, go look at all the cool stamps.

That's crazy! So many plebs!


It's so valuable. I've been reading my old work from years past. I didn't journal as much as I should have, but more than I might have expected of myself.

I've picked it up again and I have no plans on putting it back down.


It shall have wall swords and everything.


We are clown nation.


Journaling is a massively useful skill. It helps you develop your identity by giving form to the events in your life both good and bad.

The best part is you can go back years later and revisit and recontextualize those major love events. You can also revisit old ideas with a fresh mind.

It really would be key throughout the curriculum.


How long until it becomes commonplace to see Lincoln and FDR as two of the worst (instead of best) presidents because of their despotism that expanded the tyranny of the State?


I can get behind this.

🥁🥁🥁


My ultimate plan is something approximating a school, or at least the first level of one. Some of my goals:

- Develop my handwriting skills to a level of mastery. This includes writing more often.
- Become a Master Penman which is still a thing.
- Develop a philosophy of handwriting through my writing.
- Develop a course or curriculum for handwriting/reading/journalling including all of the skills I've accumulated.
- Homeschool my daughter starting around 7/8 years old with a focus on handwriting, literacy and writing. These skills form the basis of critical thinking.
- All of this will be made available to the Nostr network so Bitcoiners will be able to homeschool their children using what I've developed as a base. They can add or subtract whatever they wish to/from it to fit their individual needs.

Not exactly a school per sé, but it forms the core of one that can be built on from there.

That's insane. I don't think I made the cut this time but it looks amazing anyways!


Well let's start with the easy stuff.

I work in a mine which means I'm on a 7 on/7 of schedule, 12 hours shifts. On my weeks off, I often do 2-3 overtime shifts depending on our financial needs.

At least two days are maintenance days, which include going across the US border to do some shopping, pick up packages and stock up on cheap gas. I usually end up helping my wife around the house with various things as well because she gets overwhelmed and is generally inefficient at times. She's young, she'll learn eventually.

I'm a husband and father so family time is important which also includes visiting friends. On my weeks off we also attend church on Sundays and I call my grandmother on Saturdays. Oh and we have chickens and dogs which require some work as well as the general property upkeep.

I'm working on developing my own fountain pen content on Nostr, Rumble, YouTube and anywhere else that makes sense.  My wife and I are also building a small design and photgraphy studio.

I dabble in some Nostr relay stuff when I have time (never) and sometimes I sleep.

So as you can see, I'm not waiting for anything. I simply don't have time.


Microsoft are pricing themselves out of the market with these data harvesting operations they're running.

I think I'll likely have to switch to Linux in the long term.


GOOD MORNING ☀☀


Good morning!! ☀☕

Who would have guessed it, but I find people on Nostr genuinely want to learn from each other

It’s actually social


I found an old journal with the beginnings of a full story I had started writing back many years ago now.

Just picked up where I left off.

Fuck it, I'll write a book. Might as well, it's not like I don't have a dozen other things I'm doing at the moment as well.

As one suffering an unreasonable mortgage right now, I couldn't agree more.

Rent your living space and stack like mad. Nothing else makes sense anymore.


Amazing read.


I was in a different state of mind when I received this reply.  I appreciated it then,  but looking back with a clear mind. This is one of the most profound responses I’ve ever received. Thank you Brisket! 🫂 nostr:note1azz8ug5w65nmqjkeyca23kkvz2df8gyyjfenw4z2fv94anvv0g9qk6t4cg

I needed that a lot more than I would have thought


I'm obviously against it, doesn't matter their faith.

You would know that if you were engaging with what I'm saying in good faith. Clearly you are not.

I'm done with this now.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You're insane buddy and you missed my point entirely.

I'm against rape and pedophilia. Full stop.

Muslim, Indian, Christian, Catholic, doesn't matter.

Nice way to lay accusations though. I'll let your comments speak for themselves. People can make up their own minds about you.


GM


That's fucking shit. Poor dude.


Fucking gold.


It's perfect, I'll take ten.


Looks amazing!


I just tried to think of my best follows.


Of course!

Cornychat frens came to mind easier.


Not all of them but best I could do off the top of my head.


Welcome! I gave you a list to get started but you really should follow as many people as you come across that even marginally interest you.

I hope you enjoy your time here and if you've got any questions, throw the hashtag #asknostr in there and you'll usually get at least a few responses.

Don't be afraid to reach out to me either, I'll either help or point you in the right direction if I don't have the answer.


Most of the accoutns I’ve followed on Nostr are personal

Which as I think about it makes total sense

An individual who is interested in freedom-of-speech etc

Is also someone who is keen to be as low time preference as possible

We can play the long game. Slowly but surely create capital

Brands on the other had, generally speaking, need a fast ROI

This will change as Nostr attracts more eyeballs over time

I'm in the same boat. I've done a ton of different jobs in my life and I've dealt with a huge range of different kinds of people.

That and I stopped living on autopilot a long time ago. I think a lot, very actively and as deeply as I can about many things.

Holy shit.


Alright *cracks knuckles* let's take a closer look at this shall we.

So this is in response to a specific post and reply.

Here is the post itself:
https://i.nostr.build/DQaoKstdoDVyF7bX.jpg
And here is the reply I made:
https://i.nostr.build/yvVyyyVF73bjcM5r.jpg
First things first. I'm against rape. I know. Revolutionary. I'm sure the trophy is in the mail.

I don't care what color your skin is, what ethnicity you are, where you went to school, what religious institution you attend or any other detail. If you rape girls,  boys and/or women, you deserve any and all bad things coming to you.

Now for those who haven't been following it or haven't heard, the UK has been dealing with a very specific issue for a while. Muslim rape gangs or "grooming gangs" for those who wish to lie about it.

Now I'm not up on every single detail of the situation but the Podcast of the Louts Eaters has been covering it pretty consistently for several years now. They claim this has been going on for decades.

They often post the mugshots and list the names of the defendants. Example here:
https://i.nostr.build/LQCi7l5mbm6uZkzh.jpg
Those are Muslim men with Muslim names and these men are are not the only ones who have been arrested for assaulting women in the UK. This is the pattern. There are gangs of Muslim men in the UK who clearly believe that all women are theirs to do with what they will and it has been happening despite the British Media's attempts at covering up the ethnicity of the attackers.

This does not mean I think all Muslims are bad, nor do I think they all hold the beliefs of these gangs do. I've met a few in my life and they all seemed to be very nice people. Some people are good and some aren't. Ethnicity isn't necessarily always a factor there.

That said, I will not apologize for offending your obviously delicate sensibilities. I do not care about your feelings if you're going to be a little prick like this. This isn't fucking Twitter where someone will push a button and ban me for you. This is Nostr bitch.

You can levy your accusations all you want. I do not care. If people don't like my take on things they can unfollow, block etc. I've done it myself, and then I move on. People can make up their own minds without you putting me on blast for a position you obviously have no knowledge or understanding of. Your response to this shows you are nothing more than an emotional child and I'll treat your opinions as such.

That's enough on this.

Sorry kids, show is over.


That could work!


Good for the monkeys for stopping a man from raping a 6 year old girl. I hope they brought him to within an inch of his life.

Yes, I hate pedophiles and those who would victimize women. I don't care what you look like, what your faith is, what kind of food you like or anything else.

Bad people are bad people and they're everywhere.


It's wild over there. I would certainly die.


How


Agreed.


These guys have been covering this situation for years.

https://youtu.be/k7oQ0xFtiog

I'm just acknowledging the reality of the situation over there. Maybe I'm wrong and if I am, great. I'll change my approach if presented with new information.

You can cry hate all you want, but you joined nostr which means on occasion you'll see things you don't like.

Just block me and move on if I bother you so much.


Wait, what? I never accused anybody of raping anyone?

I feel like I could sit down surg you and learn ten years worth of theological knowledge in an hour.


Yup. Same tactic, different day.


So I should buy a beefy server and run it as a relay then.


I was just thinking about this earlier.

Interesting thought and approach.


I think I'm going to stop saying "on Nostr" and replace it with "in my network (as in "are there any good notes on Nostr?", "Is there censorship on Nostr?", etc)

There is no single Nostr network, but rather a patchwork of voluntary islands. Each npub who posts to relays has a personal network in that moment.

Who or what is "on Nostr" is different depending on where, when and how you exist in that graph. Talking in terms of "on Nostr" is just a guarantee to have constant disagreements about our subjective experiences in our region of the graph.


FUCKING MORNING


"Your most secret ambitions to be tyrants, thus shroud themselves in words  of virtue."


Imagine a world, where you choose which food you eat, which books you read, and which clothes you wear, based upon which one gave you the biggest tax write-off. This is Nostr in 2024.

This only comes about because the donors don't even realize that they are reducing the selection of available products through their funneled donations.

They don't find out which products were never built. Like the East Germans, who were so excited to get a Trabby because they didn't know the West Germans were driving a Mercedes or a Volkswagen or a Porsche.

They put lots of money into the Central Committee and eventually got a buggy car out, and they were happy.


Unfortunately no, I am not that skilled.

There are some who are though!

As long as it's a nice rock.


Believe it or not, this one is actually pretty cheap! I spent less than $30 CAD on it.

It's small, lightweight and decently reliable. All-in-all a good buy.

It only comes in a few more subdued colors.

I picked up my first pocket pen!

The Hongdian M2

I've had it for almost a week now and so far I'm liking it!

Larger review and more pictures incoming shortly.

I'm also refining my review note structure. I'm working on improving them in several ways:
1. Consistent paragraph structure addressing the same things in each paragraph across all notes.
2. More variation in photos, including some nicer still life style shots.
3. Adding dimesions and weights to give people the best idea of the pen in question.

Along with this, I'm learning Davinci Resolve as an editing program. I used to be an Adobe guy but I've since ditched their abusive software and moved to Davinci. It might take a bit to get proficient but I'll get there.

The first video has been shot and I'll edit it when I get the chance. I'm working on the scripts/points for another few videos as well.

This is all in between working and being dad, husband and friend etc. so I pray those of you following my work have patience with me while I build whatever this ends up being.

And as always,

May your pen always be inked! 🖋

Fucking amazing.

Excellent response and sentiment. You've worded yourself very well and I couldn't agree more.

I think you are 100% correct that we as individuals should learn how do deal with offensive language internally instead of imposing arbitrary rules on others to forcefully modify their speech. That dovetails nicely into my point about giving our power away to the language we use.

I also find myself agreeing strongly with your point regarding intention in speech. It is impossible to discern another's intention which is what makes ideas like "microaggressions" absolutely absurd and unworkable.

Very good sir, I'm impressed with your articulation on this. Thank you for fleshing your thoughts out and sharing them.

I appreciate you.

Truth Social is BORING

Gab is BORING

X is BORING but there is still a lot information concerning the deep state political war against Trump & military that I can't find anywhere else.

Nostr is awesome. I'm seeing lots of organic content and useful information that I have not seen on the internet since the early days of facebook before the deep state took it over and censored many.

Big fan of this technique.


I want to run my own relay but can't on my current server. I don't want to pay for a VPS or dedicated server because they are too expensive. I'm paying '$2.29' USD per MONTH for shared hosting with namecheap. That is SUPER CHEAP and I don't think I've ever experienced downtime with them.

Makes me think why do so many small businesses not have websites? It's so cheap to host a website.

I am currently using Citrine relay but I want to run a relay that is online 24/7 and run on a server and not my phone. I have over 200 apps installed and I find that only the decentralized apps seem to slow down my phone.

I don't think the internet and smartphones are powerful enough yet to handle full decentralization.

Ethereum is a tech company that released a securitised token. They kept a large portion of the supply , gave some to their buddies and can increase supply by the push of a button.

It’s built on proof of stake , essentially benefiting those who hold more of it; an incentive to buy more.

Think about the founders and members behind ethereum. Think about their staking benefits . It’s a money printing machine for early developers and investors .

There’s no true utility , and even if you argue there is , it’s not a Bitcoin competitor . It’s just another tech company , nothing special .

My wife and her aunt constantly call each other "scunts" affectionately so this made me laugh.


For those who are setting up personal cloud relays:

1) Trolls will `@` their way onto your relay. It's a loophole you should be careful about using.

2) Overuse of blastr will result in relays black-listing or rate-limiting you as spam, and will result in your notes being spread too wide, to keep things up to date or use delete persistently.

3) Use relay-syncing, where possible, including with the personal relays of your frens, relays from your geographic area, or with topical relays like christpill or an OtherStuff relay like thecitadel. But avoid anything too spammy or otherwise gross.

4)  Assume that zap comments and reactions from people not on your whitelist might be lewd or threatening. (I know, how desperate can they be, but it be.) Just thought you should know; don't know of any reasonable way of mitigating that, yet. And I guarantee that those zaps are only 1 sat.

5) Consider also having a relay on a device you control, like a laptop. Then you can work offline and sync with your cloud relay, when you go back online. (And this online/offline syncing is the next phase of relay development, and will open up some nifty new use cases, so you'll be ahead of the curve.)


I have no idea how to do any of this. Bahahaha

I made a relay for pen enthusiasts!!

wss://TheWritingDesk.nostr1.com

It's a paid relay which will hopefully help keep away spammers and help with the operating costs. It has been curated specifically for fountain pen users, writers, calligraphers and artists!

I am planning to post some exclusive stuff over there as well so feel free to join in!

Many great conversations had already today.

This is a great place to be despite the flaws.

I'll be here no matter the setbacks. To build on Nostr is to build on a solid foundation for the long term. I'm thrilled to be a part of this ecosystem.

Thank you all for being along with me in this amazing digital place.

Want to know how to onboard the normies to BTC? Heres how this normie was orangepilled.

I met a miner in 2014. I already understood the "what" of #bitcoin, knowing people who shaped on silk road,  but he taught me, in non technical language, the "why".

1. People in developing parts of the world, often with limited/no literacy skills can have their ancestral homes, farms and land taken by predatory corporations because they can't prove ownership. Bitcoin fixes this.

2. People see war, famine, drought happening and want to help. NGOs response is slow at best. Corrupt at worst. Bitcoin fixes this.

3. Banking corruption, from the 2007 crash then, now inflation is taking the food from your, and your babies, mouths. Bitcoin fixes ths

4. 2 billion people worldwide (and recently growing in the west) means no access to financial products.  Bitcoin fixs this.

5. Remittance payments. Some of the poorest people in the world travel abroad for work and send money back to their families. Companies like western union take an obscene fee, especially on smaller amounts. Bitcoin fixs this.

I only met this guy once, we spoke for hours on a rooftop in Peru. I'd love to meet him again and thank him. I bet he's here on #nostr


This is most well-articulated version of this argument I've seen so far.


He's not saying that anyone should be able to limit another's speech, just that it's not necessary to be a dick just because you can be. It's about the individual choosing not to throw slurs when technically they could. And don't give me that crap about "guardian kings." Slurs come about by social consensus over time and we all know at least a few, some more well-known than others.

I fall on a different side of this argument.

Although I understand how and why (at least to some degree) these things come about, I feel that by giving them power, we rob ourselves of some of our own. If one loses their mind every time some rando on the internet calls them a spook then they really don't have the power in that situation, the slur does.

I don't believe in giving your power to the language others use and I certainly don't believe in giving power over to a single word.

I actually legitimately struggle with this one as my wife is black and my daughter is a little mochachino. My wife has experienced some racial profiling since we've been together (legitimately, not crying wolf) and I have no doubt in my mind that my daughter will as well.

My wife handles it with grace and indifference and I wish to grant my daughter with that same ability.


Gilded Sauron


Attacking Nostr "because you can" is like pouring red wine on a wedding dress simply because you’re able to do so. Technically, you might have the ability to take such an action, but that doesn't justify it. In both cases, the act causes harm to something others care about, with no constructive outcome.

The wedding dress is a symbol of an important event, just as Nostr is a platform that a community has built up and invested in. Ruining the dress—or in Nostr’s case, disrupting the user base and causing people to leave—serves no purpose other than to destroy the hard work and joy of others.

The argument "because I can" overlooks responsibility. Just because one has the ability doesn’t mean it’s right to use it in destructive ways.


I think this is where I'm largely landing on the issue.


I'm wondering if maybe it would have been better for the attack to have been announced prior as a stress test of some sort. Maybe then, with some heads up, people wouldn't now be so angry about it.

I don't really know where I fall on this but I definitely see the better arguments coming from the "It was bad" camp. I see the utility of it, but I can't help but feel that the anger over it is completely justified.

Fumbled ball for sure.


Very good point.


As bitcoin use increases and on-chain transaction fees rise, could bitcoin become more a physical currency?

If demand only increases, some people like new users won't understand and won't want to pay more than the sats value in transaction fees.

Some will tell me there's lightning network for that but if on-chain fees rise, so will the cost of creating lightning channels, custodial lightning wallets will make you pay a subscription for that like alby cloud already.

One alternative would be to exchange bitcoin physically without the person knowing the private key, like a satscard or opendime. #asknostr


Lame.

You don't need to be 100% self-sufficient if you build a community to trade and cooperate. Division of labour is better.

But you do need those community ties to be strong enough to prevent rats and feds from destroying it.


By build an ark I mean:

Get a generator, some chickens and start building community ties so that you can buy black market gas with bitcoin.


Absolutely! I've invested my time, energy and capital into nostr and I have already gotten more out of it in the time I've been here than in the years prior on corporate tech.

You're very welcome!

I'm trying to make the point to my wife as well.

You're starting from scratch so you're building up here. It'll take some time but it'll be worth it in the long run because this isn't a foundation of sand.

If my wife had started using her npub when I made it for her (same day as mine) she would already likely have built up the kind of feed she currently values on legacy socials. Ideas, memes, meal ideas and homesteading.

Same goes for anyone else at this point.


Well number one is get on Nostr and use that as the primary "platform" instead of other social media. Build out a relay for private community and put energy/capital into nostr-based solutions like creatr or nostr.build.

I guess in terms of building from scratch you would need to diversify your video platforms. My personal preferences would be:

Rumble
Nostr Alternatives
YouTube

There seem to be a few nostr-based video services and I would focus on building out a presence there as they become more robust.

Rumble because it's not YouTube and there seems to be a lot of tips of content missing due to the prevalence of political creators. Open market basically.

Youtube as tertiary backup.

Not really sure how one might try to migrate an audience from legacy social media.


I think about this a lot.

#Tao Te Ching: Chapter 36

If you want to shrink something,
you must first allow it to expand.
If you want to get rid of something,
you must first allow it to flourish.
If you want to take something,
you must first allow it to be given.
This is called the subtle perception
of the way things are.

The soft overcomes the hard.
The slow overcomes the fast.
Let your workings remain a mystery.
Just show people the results.


That's wild. I understand though. Not every client is robust enough to deflect the attacks.

Definitely spelled it wrong.


I think I fixed it.


YHWH/YHVH (Yahweh/Yehovah) cursed Jesus (Yeshua) according to his own law;

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”
- Gal 3.13

a hanged man is cursed by God
- Deut 21.23

Thank you Jesus (Yeshua) for freeing us from YHWH/YHVH (Yahweh/Yehovah) and his cursed law.

Although it did give me an idea.

Something to think about.

Whenever there is a loophole that allows for easy money it will be closed. I think this is why one should focus on quality and what one can offer others as oppose to simply making easy money.

hot take: kamala harris isn't as dumb as she wants you to think she is.

yes, you read that right.

her entire career as a prosecutor was built on reading and probing people.

if you can't win by laying out the facts, you win on creating perception.

you create a story.

when Kamala does a funny accent, laughs too much, or repeats a slogan - she's creating a narrative about herself.

these are not emergent accidents in her political journey, like Trump speaking his mind and hitting a controversial note, or Biden tripping down a flight of stairs.

she is in control of the story being told about her.

this is why she has almost completely stopped saying "the unburdened by what has been" line in the last 60 days.

the mockery has already been made, the well has been dried - it has reached the point of diminishing returns in terms of right wing press coverage.

she, of course, gains from a completely manufactured "uninterested" left-wing press (do we really think *nobody* on the left wants to interview her, and isn't frustrated by the lack of access?)

but her coverage from a right wing press standpoint is almost solely focused on either:

a) completely impossible to legislate campaign promises like unrealized gain taxes, or $25000 housing credits

or

b) her new gaffe/accent/repeated line-of-the-week

coverage of either of these things has zero effect on independent voters.

this coverage/commentary does not make an even SLIGHTLY informed voter lean decisively against her

they are also such milquetoast subjects at this point that they won't galvanize republicans to turn out en masse as well

you want to know what democrats/left wing establishment were most worried about, but have almost completely memory-holed?

the 1st trump assassination attempt

zero coverage on ANY network on the shooter's motives, and hardly a mention from Trump himself in about 4 weeks until the 2nd failed attempt

trump not leaning into his 1st assassination attempt is quite possibly the biggest self-own in american politics I have ever seen

meanwhile, kamala and a highly coordinated group of democratic operatives are running one of the most impressive operations of political persuasion I have ever seen

it's what was completely lacking from Clinton's campaign back in 2016, but what was learned from Biden's successful "basement" strategy in 2020.

this is what will likely lead to Kamala in the whitehouse in 2024, barring any unforeseen story regarding her that she can't get coordinated responses and handling of

want to try and make a difference as an individual that can't stand her and her backers?

stop focusing on what she says/doesn't say, and focus on who she is and what she does.

she grew up with two professors as parents.

her father was a post-Keynsian economist who wrote dissertations on Marxism.

start deeply researching what both those terms and fields of study imply, and educate yourself and your community on the absolute travesty they have wrought in their wake

and i'll keep making the videos long after the election ✌
