we have removed yet another suspect from the game of Where in the World is Satoshi Nakamoto

 "I am here, to chew bubblegum, and kick ass, and i'm all outta bubblegum" 

 not holding my breath... instead i'm stacking sats and getting strapped 

 we are all satoshi, except CSW and Peter Todd 

 yeah, it looked fishy to me 

 this is vegetables... meat is what his stomach wants 😉  

 also, i had very bad tummy problems when i was little, right from the beginning, even the cow formula upset me, i was "colicky"

well, turns out i have celiac 

 this is the Dom Tower in Utrecht i think

never did the walk to the top of it but spent time there in christmas 2015, i think it was hmmm maybe 2016... i forget exactly

it's a beautiful city 

 oh wow ok that's a scale model, just noticed the wird scale on th etrees and signs and the person on the left lol 

 oh yeah i also learned that possibly one of my dutch cousins is also a client of the agent i'm renting through... i will have to try and arrange to meet him sometime, i bet he is not that distantly related... he's from the netherlands and there is only a few hundred of us in the world 

 i was instantly smelling fishes because of how it was being presented

it appeared on my radar because of that carvalho guy and he never won any credibility from me from his past performances 

 well, i have to say at this point he looks like he's being paid by VCs trying to sell a garbage project 

 i'm not familiar with this german acceent but i can almost comprehend the german... or is it swedish or something?, so many german words in it though, bereit, schuss... 

 ah... i love it though... it's a great example of where the american mountain man mind originated 

 australia has a great firewall now doesn't it?

most countries have government blocks on stuff now

like rutracker.org can't be seen from portugal, but via my wireguard tunnel to bulgaria i can see it just fine

and then, the other day, i had a site blocked in bulgaria, but turn off the tunnel and works from portugal

hooray for VPNs lol 

 you need to get a VPN that goes outside of australia

i cannot recommend enough wireguard as a basic first step to getting out from a restrictive network... if you know SSH and bash shell stuff you can set up something with a cheap VPS anywhere in the world, even set up multiple, for liek $5/month, and be able to appear wherever you want on the internet to the rest of the world

i get a lot of cloudflare captchas on some sites but i also rarely see a "this site is blocked yada yada" message

i take solace in the fact that the more governments try to stop messages passing across the wires the more incentive there is for other governments to turn a blind eye to letting traffic transit them since that profits their treasury

and that global government is never going to sell. end of. 

 ...probably the titties 

 i might be confusing it with another of their ditties... perhaps the one from Orgazmo 

 this one https://genius.com/Dvda-now-youre-a-man-annotated 

 "authentication token" is the most common expression in most internet services, for example github

https://docs.github.com/en/rest/authentication/authenticating-to-the-rest-api?apiVersion=2022-11-28 

 i run an adblocker and subscribe $9/month to not see that shit lol 

 yeah, i prefer to pay anyway... this is a better model IMO... my $9 is going to actually pay the artists i'm watching 

 wow

gonna be updating that for sure right away, i use that library 

 one of the many innovations of #golang over C

everything is wiped at allocation AND on free 

 ok tbh i'm not sure about at free... most golang signature and encryption implementations include a step at the end of stuff where they write zeroes to each byte/word of the memory of the objects

i think someone wrote a nice memfence thing also which triggers an interrupt when nearby memory is accessed 

 if they made the GC zero the memory at free that would be awesome... but i can see why it might not be... they should add a flag or something for sensitive values so they are definitely zeroed, that would put Go above all 

 i believe that the toyota corolla is the model of car with the most produced units of all time also

when i was in serbia my friend would say "what is the car with the most manufactured units in the world?" to prompt for Corolla which sounds the same as the serbian expression Ko Rola? "who's rolling?" 

 i was the best roller of course, that's why he was always nagging me about it... i learned to roll in amsterdam :) 

 toyota makes the best cars at all at all... 

 trying some mint tea, usually that helps open up the lungs a bit and relax my stomach... this breathing issue makes me tense 

 it was also a big part of how an animal rescue organisation was getting donations too, the whole thing is disgusting.

new york. everywhere those blues run the place it's a shithole 

 i knew there was something suspect about pubky

the name alone puts me off, personally... but if it's basically just rebranded keet then sorry #notsorry it's not going anywhere

it also reminds me once again about how important auth and paid relays are for privacy on nostr, and getting messaging working will be a huge boon for adoption

alby opening up signup is a big booster for nostr as well, because being able to streamline the key management and lightning in one little tool is critical for enabling payng for relays, which is critical for actual privacy... tooling to streamline deploying private relays like what cloudfodder does with relay.tools is also a big part of how we win

nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqwrcm9wm0wz5cwsd8vkkk7lehu5txctzhejrym64yxa8rnemgknfqythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcqypcmrxcfylnllhlyhzu8f4c69vs6qj3j7mqafd3na7gqjhun90mhzl9nkff 

 it's stringified json even lol

and yes, generally no impediment to changing it, most codecs will swallow whatever you can un-escape out of the content field, so long as it has the main fields in it

relays don't even look at what's inside the content field at all for any reason, only the tags, and only the single letter prefixed ones are indexed

changing the rest of the structure of an event is probably gonna break stuff though, but honestly, for what reason would you do this? and profiles don't even use tag fields necessarily, though often clients will populate them with any hashtags in the "about" field 

 unlike mastodon, or BS, or FC, you don't need to ask someone to implement it in your client

btw is it you who came up with this idiotic name "pubky"?

did you consider that maybe you are just being obstructed by a problem almost all nostr devs whine about except for the in-group who have push access to the nips repo - that being the ridiculously slow and arbitrary responses to any proposal at all... i've pretty much quit even bothering to file issues over stuff these days

also if you aren't #nostronly you may kindly sit and spin 

 me too... super excited about checking out a new madeira "little house" out on the edge of nowhere that i visited the area around it the other day

the further i am from the machinations of government and evil bankster sumbitches the happier i am 

 i think any far out of the way place has sufficient quality of a frontier about it though

doesn't have to be actually unknown to have that sense of peace and possibility

it has a BBQ! woooot! having no BBQ has been the worst thing about this place here, second only to the goddamn chihuahuas 

 and yes, i'll absolutely be buying a shit-ton of nice wood for that fireplace and it will cook my food pretty much every day 

 also, i'm guessing they won't complain about me growing some vegies in that dirt patch to the side there... it's winter coming but it doesn't frost so i'll for sure be able to grow lettuce and cabbage and a few other things, not even sure what i would grow

it's on a minimum 2 month lease too, but i'm gonna probably just stick there until i stack enough sats to make the move to wyoming or montana or utah or whatever 

 oh yeah, i bet i can grow strawberries in it too... that's a bit more work but i know they grow well here, over on the other side of the island in Camara da Lobos i walked past big strawberry fields 

 camara *de lobos  

 yeah, it is possible, also i looked into it and all of the instrucitons included the use of apache or nginx... which put me off completely

making a git repo that is only https is the easiest part, literally it's just SSH, the rest is done over SSH... if you know of an easy guide how to get the http side working i'd be very happy to hear about it... i don't want to use docker or apache though 

 Alifi is always begging when I eat meat at the local sombuente, but he https://i.nostr.build/GJZTSE4K2HiGeN6N.jpg is extra extra excited about this goat liver.

I was reading something the other day about vitamin A and liver is one of the best sources

And this is the best liver. It's going on my regular now. Goat is easy to get around here. I love goats. They are the GOAT 

 private, secret channels 

 i like the yolks of duck eggs but the white is icky compared to chickens

but that makes sense... here there is practically only one kind of egg you can buy and it's cage eggs that must be fed soy... soy is just so fucked up, i mean, i was fed it a lot as a kid and it was probably less toxic a product then but now i wouldn't eat it if the alternative was to starve, this genetic modification is *shudder* so utterly wrong and unnecessary

i've never had problems with eggs before but i realise that i've mainly ate free range for years 

 Yeah, I think so. Quantum computers have a complex somewhat analogue computation mechanism but I can imagine ways to do it to get a 12 value "bit"

As it is, transistors work via a three part mechanism made of three diodes. Diodes are basically like those valves with balls in them that in one direction they don't obstruct flow of liquid, but in the other they block. Or a simple Reed valve (yes, diodes are valves) where you have a flap that closes when fluid pushes it one direction, and opens in the other.

Transistors only do two states, but I think you can even stack them so they have 3, and then as I say, two normal transistors and a trinary, and you have a circuit that can represent 12 values.

I do think that base 12 is the best. I believe our universe is entirely based on 12s. The Babylonians had a base 60 system which is based on 2, 2, 2, 3, 5

A lot of math is more precisely calculated compared to the 2 and 5 of decimal. 

 The ones that use sundials? 

 Or if the old system finally implodes, which gets more and more likely by the day. 

 part of the reason why i became a mech keyboard freak was after killing dozens of shitty membrane keyboards

i can destroy one in about a year, laptop keyboards are even more delicate, maybe 6 months i can kill one of those

my current keyboard, i have two of them, one for backup, the switches are socketed so i can pull them out and replace them if i need to

the switches stand up to way more usage than membrane switches though, i mean, probably i could get away with not getting another keyboard for 10 years, pretty much if i do get another one it's going to be because it has more keys, i'd like at least 90 so i can have a dedicated number pad on it. there is a cherry POS ortholinea that i've had my eyes on, it has 140 keys... but for now i'm good, really i just want the 90 key 5x18 grid 

 well, you read my posts... that's part of the reason why i love these ortholinear mech keyboards and why i type dvorak layout... it's literally because i type so much... if you typed as much as me you wolud also want light keys, mechanical, and ortho too 

 it took me about a week of 2h a day doing typing lessons with the new layout before i could type again without looking and about 3 weeks i was typing faster because it was less strain... dvorak is definitely superior

i'd be willing to modify the layout further if i had a tool that tracks the frequency and sequencing of keypresses to figure out if they could be optimized further, but it's pretty good as it is 

 my typing output is at least over 5000 words a day on average... "a lot" is quite relative

i also have issues with pain from typing, so i really like these super light gateron whites - had cherry silvers before... the gaterons springs have 38nm resistance force and actuate just under 2mm down, so i don't have to push very hard on them

if you read what people say about these kind of "fast" switches most say "you make more typos" but i have not found that to be the case... maybe at first, yes, but once you get used to the light touch you don't 

 btw, if average keystrokes per word is 6 then that means 30,000 keystrokes per day

if you look at the specs on many keyboard switches they are only rated to run for about 1,000,000 which works out to 33 days per key

only mechanical keyboards can withstand this much work... i've had many keyboards crap out on me between 1 and 2 years after buying them 

 yeah, i think you may find you don't get much faster but it takes less effort, that's why the pain is reduced 

 but yeah, i did get faster... before dvorak i was topping out around 65wpm, and i itested recently i'm at 95 nowadays, on the ortholinear fast keys 

 lol, bitcoin developer clueless about running LN infra

credibility just fell below 0 for me reading this

 for someone who is drowning in bitcoin you seem a little uninformed 

 It probably can do noise protocol. I mean, private keys are all the same with most algorithms, only the 4ubkey is different. Probably can use these keys with TLS easy enough. 

 yeah, TLS certs are such a racket 

 some people are just incorrigible 

 some say that houston is a better place to live without this bullshit 

 begging to the government to put a commercial garden or build a shop

there is already plenty of law and case law relating to neighbours suing for damages over your impeding their customary enjoyment of their own property, such as building a tall building next to low buildings, and such. it's really not necessary to have a government zoning bullshit, it just makes for an ugly, uniform, institutionalised vibe

zoning laws in most of the Balkans are extremely lax if any at all... most of the commieblocks have shops at the bottom floor, or workshops or garages... people set up shops wherever. there is no laws against you laying out a bunch of stock to sell on the side of the road even, anywhere, no permission required so long as you aren't blocking traffic 

 something to do with the sex shop?

i don't see what's weird about the picture on the right, looks like many highways i've been on in my life 

 yes, i was trying to remember what it reminded me of... outer suburbs of Budapest 

 Very interesting stuff.

In Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya it talks about how after Jesus the Age of Pisces would have two phases, just as the symbol and the constellation are two fish in opposite directions, the age is divided into two periods.

The first, about 1200 years, is the Age of Jesus. This spans the time from the life of Jesus and the establishment of his church. This period is notable by the lack of strong governments and the beginning of free markets.

Nick Szabo has a good article about how Christianity and church clocks were the basis of the modern concept of employment, by establishing a common clock, similar to how Bitcoin's protocol is all about what computer scientists call "weak synchrony"

Then, beginning around 1000-1200 we see the first establishment of copyright, and letters patent, government protected monopolies on business, and the government registered corporations.

From then until now has been the real dark age, the second fish of the Age of Pisces. The age of Satan. The age of atheism, which is really just satanism lite, with the Devil hiding under the capital S Science. As in Fauci style.

There is a massive disaster coming in the next 30 years, that will almost like this podcaster describes in a hypothetical total destruction of centralized power, mean the end of the modern state.

It will also mean a massive loss of our modern internet, because the sin is going to fry most electrical infrastructure and radio systems are going to mostly be destroyed. We will have to go underground, we will all have to be armed, because the centralized systems will no longer function, and there inevitably will be marauding gangs who only listen to when you are prepared and able to kill them.

But what we have gained will not be lost. We will continue in the pockets and holes we build to shelter from an "evil" sun, as happened the same 12800 years ago. We will devise telecoms devices that use entanglement and computers that run purely on light and magnetism, and energy from nuclear and antimatter.

Probably our ancestors who long ago left, leaving behind Giza, will return and help us, maybe they evac, or maybe they just come teach us as they did long ago to Adam, giving us the agriculture we now depend on.

Haha.

I need to think about this for a bit but it might just work. Especially if I brew it myself according to this recipe and brew it for like 2% alcohol.
