I was thinking about Rothbard's two means to acquiring wealth: the political means (coercive) and the economic means (voluntary) and it dawned on me that this is the true distinction between ancomms and ancaps.
The ancoms use the political means, the ancaps use the economic.
You know things are bad when the media arm of the State is making fun of itself this perfectly

Describing essentially what I do. Strongly carb-restricted "paleo" ish + dairy. Basically just buy whole food ingredients (vegetables, fruit, meat, fish) and combine them myself (except for the dairy products).
It's the healthiest I've ever been.
Wow I love this

When people ask about your politics and you tell them "I believe all human interactions should be entirely voluntary" their heads really explode even though this is clearly unobjectionable and quite simple
There's a lot of great stuff in this thread

Interesting that you're designing for this, because we're building an entire computing paradigm meant to facilitate this: https://github.com/operating-function/pallas
We should talk 😉
At this time, our GitHub repo and all of our docs are squarely aimed at software developers. We are a little ways off from have a product and written material appropriate for a wider audience, but the ultimate goal is your grandma should be running our software one day :)
To put it simply and overly briefly: open source sovereign personal server software that connects peer to peer with other similar nodes. "new Internet, new FOSS software market" yadda yadda lol
One of the main techniques of speed reading is NOT subvocalizing the words in your head. Basically just going to pure information without the stopover in virtualized speech.
Point being: might not be a problem for reading (or may even be beneficial!)
I don't know a ton about speed reading, but one tip I had heard was you slowly count to 10 over and over again (just barely whispered) as you're reading the words. It's hard at first, but you kind of get used to it. Once you can get the meaning of the words just by looking at them (rather than "saying them in your head" - which is impossible while youre counting aloud), you can scan them faster and faster.
The upper bound for how fast you can scan your eyes over words is much higher than the speed at which you can "say them".
The other thing is looking at batches of words at a time. Like divide the page into two or three columns and look at the batch of words in one column on the current line, then hop directly to the next column, wrapping around when needed.
So rather than sliding your eyes slowly over every word, you instantly "hop" two or three times per line
You can probably understand this pretty well without having to learn any actual programming.
How familiar are you with cryptography and cryptographic signatures? ("Not at all" is an acceptable answer)
Unless you answer exactly the same (or do some sort of fuzzing on creating many valid hashes to begin with) - like including punctuation and upper/lowercase - the hashes won't match.
But I like the idea and there's something there
This is incredible!
(Also, imagine if Guy just took the BTC and disappeared from public life? Lololol. Obviously won't happen but the idea is hilarious)

Control, posterity, reliability, fun, training.
(I'm assuming you're talking about Nostr relays. But I also publish other stuff to other servers of mine so I guess it works either way)
God is the supreme statist fantasy - a nanny being more powerful than the most obscene one world government.
God is the ultimate incarnation of pure fiat.
Most "freedom influencers" are too scared to publicly agree due of audience capture.
Show me a "theist anarchist" and I'll show you someone who doesn't understand what the "arch" in an-arch means.
Fake thing that "exists" purely by decree and only in the intangible fantasy realm and if you refuse to believe in it and act in accordance, the people who maintain that the thing exists will get mad at you (and perhaps arrest or kill you).

Any other ideas?
Man, if I didn't know better I would think Nostr was spying on me. I was reading reviews of various adjustable dumbbells this morning.
I think I'm going to go with the Powerblock Elites.
I was comparing these exact two products this morning. Was leaning towards Power blocks, mostly because of price (and less rolling around). Why do you prefer them?
"unified" is optional in my view. At least for namespaces. I think there is a lot of value in subnets being able to define their own names - like DNS, for instance. That should be local to a subnet.
Nothing stopping multiple subnets from all using the same DNS provider, which would make it _something like_ global, but another federation of subnets could have their own DNS.
A good portion of my life is built on top of my Obsidian markdown vault. The best part of it is that it's just markdown files in a folder.
I'll definitely be trying comet!
