 It's amazing how many are seemingly coming out of the woodwork (no real action, just people in position detained with weapons) after people "forgot" the first one, and just before the election. I've seen this tactic used successfully before. It's a convenient narrative, and not original. Maybe he wants to sell the whole collection of assassination attempt sneakers? Not buying it. It's a psyop.

 💯 and that whole thing about the guy getting close enought to Obama while carrying a gun is the news media psyop retort from the Left throwing the blame on the secret service and positioning the narrative that it's happening on both sides is equally obvious political theater. 
 Still doing omad since this post. Reduced from 9oz steak to 6oz and now i’m down from 215lbs to...

 I remember trying to find Goody's while traveling through the Red Rock Country in Utah. I finally found a box at a chain drugstore in Moab, a tiny town at the base of the Bog Rock Cliffs, but none of the clerks had any idea what I was talking about. Fun times :) 
 #Tao Te Ching: Chapter 56

Those who know don't talk.
Those who talk don't know.

Close your mouth,
block off your senses,
blunt your sharpness,
untie your knots,
soften your glare,
settle your dust.
This is the primal identity.

Be like the Tao.
It can't be approached or withdrawn from,
benefited or harmed,
honored or brought into disgrace.
It gives itself up continually.
That is why it endures. 
 Gandhi was a politician.

 The day before Leclerc is due to set off (into a sketchy-at-best, homicidal-at-worst weather window) he’s asked about his “general diet for getting ready for the mountains.”

"I don’t want to sound grim or fatalistic… It’s undeniable, you know, that every time you go into the mountains, it could be your last time. So all these things that you love, you have to appreciate. Whatever dinner you want to possibly be your last dinner, you have to eat it. Because you’re going to the mountains.”

 Switched my #Fedora system fonts to #Inter for interface and document text, and, of course, my favorite, #Hack, for monospace and terminal.

Looks like after 24 years, GNOME might be making the switch from #Cantarell to Inter later this year as well. Inter is an absolutely gorgeous font that, unlike Cantarell, is passionately maintained.

I approve of the official switch, but I'm not waiting. Inter is the way.

 Nice mono font. I agree. It's been a long time coming. I hope they pull the trigger. 
 Looking for an open source document scanner, or card wallet for #Android? 

Look no further... OSS has them both. So good to finally find an awesome open source alternative to Adobe Scan. 

Seriously, check it out. It's kind of a big deal.

 #Tao Te Ching: Chapter 55

He who is in harmony with the Tao
is like a newborn child.
Its bones are soft, its muscles are weak,
but its grip is powerful.
It doesn't know about the union
of male and female,
yet its penis can stand erect,
so intense is its vital power.
It can scream its head off all day,
yet it never becomes hoarse,
so complete is its harmony.

The Master's power is like this.
He lets all things come and go
effortlessly, without desire.
He never expects results;
thus he is never disappointed.
He is never disappointed;
thus his spirit never grows old. 
 Happy birthday, Marc-André Leclerc. One of the greatest solo alpinists ever. "The Alpinist" is a must-watch. Marc-André exemplifies facing fear head-on and living life full-on. A true legend following his bliss. 💜
https://v.nostr.build/hE6lyykXCG5wtdx9.mp4

"Marc-André Leclerc climbs alone, far from the limelight. On remote alpine faces, the free-spirited 23-year-old Canadian makes some of the boldest solo ascents in history. Yet, he draws scant attention. 

With no cameras, no rope, and no margin for error, Leclerc's approach is the essence of solo adventure. Nomadic and publicity shy, he doesn’t own a phone or car, and is reluctant to let a film crew in on his pure vision of climbing. 

Veteran filmmaker Peter Mortimer (THE DAWN WALL) sets out to make a film about Leclerc but struggles to keep up with his elusive subject. Then, Leclerc embarks on a historic adventure in Patagonia that will redefine what is possible in solo climbing."

 Such a beautiful comment from my post on X. I had to share it here:

Marc a péri avec son copain. Nous prions tous qu'ils sont sortis tout droit de l'Avalanche et ont remonté un glaçon dans le sein de Notre Créateur dans les Jardins Spacieux du Paradis, Amen
Repose en Paix, cher Marc-André Leclerc
Squamish BC Canada manque encore Marc

Translation:

Marc perished with his buddy. We all pray that they came straight out of the Avalanche and climbed an icicle into the bosom of Our Creator in the Spacious Gardens of Paradise, Amen
Rest in Peace, dear Marc-Andre Leclerc
Squamish BC Canada still misses Marc

 This is the note I deleted on August 28 nostr:nprofile1qqstz4qgpj6fvwdmq7dx557pmx88zv8w4v7xr254mk... 
 I can also see the quote post on Amethyst, but if I tap on the original note or search for the note ID, it can't be found. 
 If I recall correctly a user can essentially "undelete" a note if they overwrite it with the exact content. My initial thought is that maybe the repost has done this in some way in order to recall the quote post. I'm sure someone will chime in with more details. 
 #Tao Te Ching: Chapter 54

Whoever is planted in the Tao
will not be rooted up.
Whoever embraces the Tao
will not slip away.
Her name will be held in honor
from generation to generation.

Let the Tao be present in your life
and you will become genuine.
Let it be present in your family
and your family will flourish.
Let it be present in your country
and your country will be an example
to all countries in the world.
Let it be present in the universe
and the universe will sing.

How do I know this is true?
By looking inside myself.

 John Lennon's 'Mind Games' (Meditation Mixes), produced by Sean Ono Lennon, is here and it's wonderful 🔊🧘🏼‍♀️💜

MAKING THE MEDITATION MIXES

To create MIND GAMES (Meditation Mixes), various sound design techniques and processes have been applied to the original 1973 two-inch multitrack recordings, and in some cases have been enhanced with additional instrumentation from Sean Ono Lennon, son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon. They were mixed and engineered by Sam Gannon with additional recording engineered by Scott Holingsworth.

MIND GAMES (Meditation Mixes) create their own space while maintaining firm, authentic roots in John Lennon’s original recording of the original song. Each of the nine mixes has been radically altered, slowed down and extended, ranging from 5 to 10 to upwards of 23 minutes, allowing for the musical soundtrack to wash over the listener and provide a relaxing, immersive, deep listening and meditative experience. Four of the tracks are presented as Binaural versions that each focus on different types of brain waves: Beta, Delta, Gamma, and Theta.

Dubbed ‘Mind’, ‘Space’, ‘Spirit’, and ‘Love’, these tracks feature a Binaural Beat, an auditory illusion created within the brain when the left and right ears hear two slightly different frequencies whose difference is perceived as a new frequency which can activate different brain patterns for scientifically proven therapeutic effects. Beta waves occur when thinking, Delta waves are produced when completely relaxed in deep sleep, Gamma waves are associated with high levels of thought and focus, and Theta waves are produced while sleeping or daydreaming.

Digital Release Track List:

1. Mind (Mind Games Meditation Mix / Binaural ∿Gamma Waves∿ 100Hz)
2. Magic - (Mind Games Meditation Mix)
3. Space - (Mind Games Meditation Mix / Binaural ∿Theta Waves∿ 8Hz)
4. Seed - (Mind Games Meditation Mix)
5. Yes - (Mind Games Meditation Mix)
6. Spirit - (Mind Games Meditation Mix / Binaural ∿Beta Waves∿ 15Hz)
7. Surrender - (Mind Games Meditation Mix)
8. Peace - (Mind Games Meditation Mix)
9. Love - (Mind Games Meditation Mix / Binaural ∿Delta Waves∿ 0.5Hz) 
 #Tao Te Ching: Chapter 53

The great Way is easy,
yet people prefer the side paths.
Be aware when things are out of balance.
Stay centered within the Tao.

When rich speculators prosper
While farmers lose their land;
when government officials spend money
on weapons instead of cures;
when the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible
while the poor have nowhere to turn—
all this is robbery and chaos.
It is not in keeping with the Tao.

 #Tao Te Ching: Chapter 52

In the beginning was the Tao.
All things issue from it;
all things return to it.

To find the origin,
trace back the manifestations.
When you recognize the children
and find the mother,
you will be free of sorrow.

If you close your mind in judgements
and traffic with desires,
your heart will be troubled.
If you keep your mind from judging
and aren't led by the senses,
your heart will find peace.

Seeing into darkness is clarity.
Knowing how to yield is strength.
Use your own light
and return to the source of light.
This is called practicing eternity.

It's the wrong tone. I'm actively looking for an alternative and nostrmedia is shaping up to be an awesome alternative that basically implemented search after reading my back and forth with FC in a day. 

Listening to customer FB is important if you value the future of the service you are trying to get Content creators to pay premium for. 

FC can check the "If/when I do it, it'll be a pain and on my own terms and it'll cost more money than you're already paying a premium for, so it'll happen when/if it happens" at the door. 

I like FC and I have been a big supporter of NB, and have sent many customers their way, but when a dev starts talking like that, I'm out. 
 I did contact you directly. It was a basic inquiry.  I reposted your words. I did not paraphrase. I let your words speak for themselves. They speak loud and clear.

To now backtrack and sat it's an English issue because English is not your first language feels like a cop out. You said what you said quite clearly, you said it how you said it... own it.

We've had many interactions over the past couple if years. Your replies have always been articulate and clear. This time is no different.

In spite of similar behavior and tone in the past, I've been a long time supporter, and have promoted Nostr Build for a long while now. There was really no competition before. There is now.

I will not be renewing my storage plan. Let this serve as a lesson. No bad blood. It is what it is. 
 Cool. It is my understanding that they will not persist once a paid account is cancelled. Either way, I repost all the time, and most people don't dig up old Nostr posts, so as a creator, I'm happy to make the switch for better media organization and support. 
 Can someone please zap me 21 peters I need to test something  
 Careful what you wish for...I see 21+ DPS in your immediate future.

 #Tao Te Ching: Chapter 51

Every being in the universe
is an expression of the Tao.
It springs into existence,
unconscious, perfect, free,
takes on a physical body,
lets circumstances complete it.
That is why every being
spontaneously honors the Tao.

The Tao gives birth to all beings,
nourishes them, maintains them,
cares for them, comforts them, protects them,
takes them back to itself,
creating without possessing,
acting without expecting,
guiding without interfering.
That is why love of the Tao
is in the very nature of things.

 #Tao Te Ching: Chapter 50

The Master gives himself up
to whatever the moment brings.
He knows that he is going to die,
and he has nothing left to hold on to:
no illusions in his mind,
no resistances in his body.
He doesn't think about his actions;
they flow from the core of his being.
He holds nothing back from life;
therefore he is ready for death,
as a man is ready for sleep
after a good day's work. 
 #Tao Te Ching: Chapter 49

The Master has no mind of her own.
She works with the mind of the people.

She is good to people who are good.
She is also good to people who aren't good.
This is true goodness.

She trusts people who are trustworthy.
She also trusts people who aren't trustworthy.
This is true trust.

The Master's mind is like space.
People don't understand her.
They look to her and wait.
She treats them like her own children.
