I'm excited to give it another try. I seem to have really bad luck with sourdough starters and I've probably killed about three so I'm hoping that this fourth one or so is the charm. 😅


Day three of rehydrating a sourdough starter. So far, so good, I think. I've never really done this before, but it's still bubbling, so I'm assuming that means that the flour and water feed I gave it is being consumed still. And it is slowly starting to get a bit of a vinegar smell. I guess that was supposed to happen on day two, but it's moving a little bit slower. And everything that I've read says that it can take up to a week for it to be ready to bake with.

I like that design! They wouldent let me do "dirty fiat" on mine for whatever reason.


don't mind me just buying a harmonica to spice up these panic attacks.


Lmao truth.


Was gonna ask the same thing.


Cant forget i2p.


Your approach come off as being a little bit heavy-handed, but after giving it some thought I kind of appreciate what you're doing. We need privacy stress tests and unfortunately, gentle reminders don't seem to work.

We can jump up and down and scream about the importance of a VPN and basic privacy preserving techniques. But some people won't "get it" until they see some consequence like you showing how simple it was to grab a users IP.

It's actually a bit of breath of fresh air to see someone who's willing to stir up a pot a little bit in an effort to help the network grow rather than a malicious actor trying to genuinely fuck with people.


Yup. Im on 5.5 beta 2


Proper spot for some tunes.


Private notes is the big main change but group chats have also gotten waaay better in the last few releases


Sent to my bank.


True facts.


Wait what?


Damn this latest simpleX update is nice


So this is extremely petty, but I finally beat Venmo down. They gave me the leftover cash in my account and closed it, and I never sent them my ID. :Devilish:


I really got to hand it to Dell in their case design. It's gotten really good in the last few years and it makes swapping parts out stupid simple.


If you still want to spend money on separate hardware, I'm a big fan of old Dell OptiPlex Towers. You can find them pretty cheap on eBay. ~85$ gets you 8 to 16 gigs of ram and an i5 or i7 processor. For that price you'll probably have to provide your own hard drive but shop Around and you would be surprised what you can find.


A raspi is really not the best for a home server. An old laptop or desktop would give you much better performance than a Raspberry Pi would.


If you're into military sci-fi and looking for a light read. I really can't recommend Expeditionary Force enough. I have been ripping through this series. I'm already on Book 7.

I just added water to it and I'm supposed to check on it every four hours or so and then eventually give it a feeding of flour and water. It looks good so far but it's probably only been about 20 minutes or so since I added water.


No, somebody I did some work for sent me a package of freeze dried sourdough starter.


Rehydrating sourdough starter.


Not sure how it works on iOS but on android you can set a VPN to be always on. It starts on boot. No need to remember.


Mmmm birria. 🤌


Lol yeah always tradeoffs. I dont mind an extra tap to see an image but thats me. Seeing the image in its URL format allows me to briefly assess the link that it's coming from. But I understand that's not the average users habit.

An always on VPN is a simple soultion and might be less annoying for the average user.


So this is not a fix, More of a Band-Aid. But if you're using the #amethyst client, you can turn off automatic image rendering and link previews.

I genraly keep this off on most of my apps specifically because of issues like the IP leaker thats DMing people.

There have been instances in other programs such as Telegram where automatically downloading a malicious image can compromise your account.

Like the TNG character.


So there's this progression. First you see something like Cashu when you say, "Oh, it's a custodial lightning wallet with better privacy for users and no accounts." And then you realize, "Oh, I can use this to pay someone who is offline. I just send them a string and that’s the ecash note.” And then you realize, "Oh, this works over long range radio with very low bandwidth. And then you realize, oh, if we trust the same mint, we can actually use it to route  lightning payments without open channels to the mint (the channel is the trust). And we can use it as a lightning wallet for ourselves. And then you can say, oh, we can create these community mints for “islands” that are not connected to the internet.

And then you realize, "Oh, there can be more than one Uncle Jim, and we don't have to trust this one person. We can have shared custody, and this thing has better privacy." And suddenly you realize you are were not expecting anything like this at all when you first saw it, when it began. It has completely different implications than what I was expecting previously.

It's the same with Nostr. It's like, "Oh, this is not a very good protocol. It depends on a few relays and you can’t even store images on it and who would use it." And it's cumbersome. Now there are blogging platforms and communities and marketplaces and AI communicating over it. And there's this innovation that no one was expecting when they first started. It was like thinking about the protocol and trying to judge it by its design, but its use (and implications) is discovered, not designed. Same way you can send a calendar invite over email, or do encrypted group chats over it (DeltaChat).

It’s interesting to see, how we use technologies that in theory should not have worked, but in practice, they do. Bitcoin is one of them. The probability of its success was very low.

A friend of mine said in a podcast with me that Bitcoin’s risk adjusted value is actually better than a decade ago. Yes, you could have bought cheap Bitcoin. But its success back then was very improbable. Now you are buying the asset of the parallel financial system, back then, it was a membership card in a club of geeks. After several that have failed…


Please let's not start saying that ecash is self-custodial. It is not.

You hold the ecash, we get it. The ecash part is non-custodial, ok. It's been thought of that way since the 80s. It's fine to think that way if you're literally the central bank and the ecash you issue IS THE MONEY AND NOT A REPRESENTATION OF AN UNDERLYING ASSET – only a central bank can do this. Repeat with me: Only a central bank can do this.
Ecash today is a representative of an underlying asset. In Cashu and Fedimint that's BTC. You give up control over that underlying asset. You measure everything in terms of that underlying asset. It is all about the underlying asset. You have NO GUARANTEE WHATSOEVER TO REDEEM THAT UNDERLYING ASSET BACK – ecash systems the way we are building them today ARE CUSTODIAL – please don't make things more complicated than they need to be. Please do not manipulate language and especially, do not confuse noobs who are still learning. I almost want to say that a framing like this irresponsible.

What are you going to say to the noob who wants their Bitcoin back but the federation broke down during an update and the database got completely rekt? How is that non-custidal or self-custodial or whatever the opposite of custodial is.

With all due respect, this is a bad take.

Yup same it loads for me to. Religiou VPN usage wins again.

I noticed you can't view the image if you don't specify a npub that's authorized to view it.


Is that the 34,70,200,103 IP addy thats DMing people?


I don't know, I have yet to rehydrate it, but according to the internet it seems like it's definitely doable.


No, but I was kind of debating checking out Meshtastic. I was going to use these specifically for a reticulum.


Someone sent me freeze dried sourdough. Dident even know this was a thing. It's fucking brilliant though because you can mail sour dough without having to worry about it dying.

Users of Umbrel, MyNode, Lighting in a Box, Start9, Trezors, Ledgers, Coldcards, Passports etc...

Please be cautious in Telegram and Discord groups asking for help if something is not working.  There are scammers and teams of scammers that monitor these groups and will DM you to try to solicit information about your node, seed words, private keys, accounts etc under the guise that they are support or the lead developers on projects.

DO NOT EVER ENTER SEED WORDS INTO A WEB SITE, no matter who you think you are talking to
DO NOT UPLOAD wallet files
DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL "REPAIR" SOFTWARE that isn't in common use, verifiable etc.
DO NOT TRUST NAMES AND AVATARS to be who you think they are. VERIFY.

There is really no reason to ever immediately go to DMs for support.  Issues can and should be solved in public where possible so that others can search for the same solution, and chime in if something is nefarious.

This is why I'm still kind of on the fence about fedimint.

On one hand, everyone should be a self-sovereign  psychopath and run all their shit themselves. But, on the other hand, I also recognize that your grandma is not gonna run a lightning node.

I really don't want to encourage people to be custodians but if you're technically oriented and comfortable hosting some services then why not help your less technically inclined family and friends.

Support the arts and help me stack sats with a Nostr exclusive deal!

I have limited edition posters (prints) available from one of the artists I represent. Adrian Wong Shue was a world-renowned artist. He was mixed race (Jamaican and Chinese), and his figurative artwork has been exhibited and sold throughout the world.

Unfortunately, in the chaotic scramble we encountered while shutting down the studio after his untimely death last December 2023, some of the posters were slightly damaged. A few are frayed at the edges, and others are slightly torn around the border. The damage will not show when the posters are framed, but they cannot be offered for sale in this condition on our website at www.adrianwongshue.com. So, I offer this exclusive deal for you Nostr folk.

I have several dozen limited edition Songs of the Forest posters . . .

https://www.adrianwongshue.com/product-page/songs-of-the-forest

. . . and a couple dozen limited edition Sunshine at Midnight posters. Some include the artist’s name at the bottom, and others do not. Most are pencil-signed by the artist and come with a certificate of authenticity.

https://www.adrianwongshue.com/product-page/sunshine-at-midnight

As long as you cover the shipping from me here in Los Angeles to you wherever you are, I will accept whatever amount of BTC you offer for a poster. OR if you buy an undamaged one from the website with fiat (yes I know that’s a dirty word here), I will send a second slightly damaged one at no additional cost, that you can re-gift to an art enthusiast in your life, just in time for Valentine's Day! The less damaged ones will go first and the more damaged ones last, so it's first come, first served while supplies last!

As many of you know and have been following along, as part of my business I sell art for two different artists that I manage, Adrian Wong Shue at www.adrianwongshue.com and Rudy Cole at www.charcolestudio.com. (Rudy Cole is a well-known artist currently living in southern California who immigrated from Panama in the 1980s.)

When Adrian Wong Shue died in December 2023, I began working with his family (grown children) to empty the studio and process each of their personal collections of his artwork. Adrian was a prolific artist, creating masterpieces in a wide variety of mediums (paintings, etchings, sculptures, etc.). However, he also tended to hoard his artwork, and the reality is it’s similar now to managing a barn find of exotic vehicles. It's been almost two months, and I’ve only made a small dent in doing inventory!

As part of this process, I've come across so many beautiful images and pieces that I can't believe he had hidden away and never exhibited or sold. Some I didn't even know existed (including a trove of erotic etchings and drawings), and I've been working with him for years! The collections contain original artwork representative of different styles and mediums from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and more, up to and including 2022. I would estimate 90% of Adrian’s artwork has never before been seen publicly. I am in the process of putting more pieces available for sale on the website each week.

Now, though, I need your help. I need to make room to process the remainder of the collections. So, I'm going to start offering several exclusive deals here on Nostr.

This is your opportunity to get an authentic Wong Shue piece for your collection. If you want to negotiate prices or discuss the cost of shipping, please reach out. We also offer already framed Wong Shue originals and prints to rent for movie sets, restaurant décor, and office spaces.

Thanks, Nostr for taking the time to read.

People using a multitude of servers to upload their media files. NIP96 is a big step towards decentralizing this fundamental part of the protocol. Use sovbit.host if you want to participate in a freer, stronger and more decentralized #nostr 😎💪🤓 nostr:note1th2k0ae0tjnesw85ge9yllf9y67u72ymxkwewm8eqc7fgvk2x5usdzgrpn


According to the server, that was the 200th upload.


What client did you upload with?


Awesome Cashu list.

File server is free. I dont really have a front end for it. If someone uses amethyst, it's already in the list of compatible servers that you can upload to. I haven't used coracle in a while but I think you can also use it in coracle. Not sure what other clients support it right now.

I have ~80 gigs right now. With enough room for now.


Its mostly been my learning grounds. But im happy to host stuff for nostr.


Lmao. I kind of want one of those. I like the amount of shelving it has and I can put so many books on that.


I don't know why I never searched these combination of words, but laptop pillow desk found me exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.


yeah generally if I bring my laptop to bed that means I'm gonna be up stupid late writing code or doing a lot of keyboard interaction


Ok a guilty plesure of mine is being a lazy fuck and bringing my laptop to bed.

But Ive never really had a good "platform" for it whilst in bed. Is there a pillow like thing with a hard top thats decent for laptops? Dunno if this is a thing. Amazon has "bed desks" but they all look annoying AF to deal with.


Like, I know a come off as pretty salty a lot of the times, but I genuinely don't understand why it's so hard for people to like, just not be assholes.


Lmao.

Tl;dr : I was in a genuinely good mood when I left my house and then went to the grocery store to get some food for the next few days because I was out of a couple things and I just witnessed people being incredibly stupid and incredibly cruel to each other for no good reason and I got pretty pissed off.


I also want to talk to the hardcore #SelfHosting people out there. The ones who have a VM server and like 20 different VMs all running various services.

I want to encourage you to automate your setup. This will let you quickly recover from major errors, more easily test your backups and make it easy for others to reproduce your work.

Since I'm an #OpenSource #maxi, here's what I propose:

- Proxmox VE for the VM server
- Terraform to spin up VMs
- Ansible to install/configure software
- Packer to make the base images
- Borgmatic for backups

This stack is #FOSS, runs on pretty much whatever x86 hardware you have lying around, and can scale up to a cluster that allows you to provide services for a medium to large sized community.

Importantly, it also scales down to run on some old gaming rig that you have since retired and it now needs a new purpose.

I've been getting involved in maintaining and extending the Proxmox provider for Terraform and I'd love to have people here on #nostr that would be willing to help test out the code in different environments, configurations, and so forth. If this is you, hit me up so I can follow you.

Hell yeah im Absolutely for making it seem less complicated for people trying to host their own stuff.


wrote out an entire rant but deleted it deciding not to post it.

instead I'm just going to say I am very thankful for communities like the people on nostr and the local Bitcoiners and friends that I have.

Y'all are the real MVPs being the silver lining of hope in my overall attitude of disdain and despair for the rest of humanity.


:RedHeart:


I guess next I'm gonna have to actually dive into the technical documents instead of just getting a high level overview of it.


After reading all the docs........Im less opposed to fedimint than I was. Its a complex system. But imo the tradeoffs are fair. I'm going to talk to some of my local Bitcoiners and see if they want to try and run a mint for our local meet up.

Because I learn the most by actually doing. So I can read all the theory I want, but I won't actually know how much of a pain in the ass it is to actually operate unless I run a mint myself.

Read it for yourself here.

Thankfully no, I haven't been accused of guzzling butter in a long time.


Exchange rate goes down, my sat-price stays the same.

Just sayin’, if you need hw or want my time, it’s on sale today.

I was referring to the sandwich....lmao.


10/10 would smash.


Next time someone accuses me of guzzling butter, I'm just going to tell them I'm giving my brain the good fat so I can think more gooder.


bonus points if it's a compote butter.

Your secret is safe with me lmao. 🫡 and all of nostr now.


I will neither confirm nor deny that this is also what I do.


Artichokes are just a vauge attempt at concealing the fact that you're just spooning butter down your gullet.


This is definitely how I try to live my life. Definitely not perfect, but I try.


It is actually Bitcoin. It is Bitcoin locked in two of two multi-sig that you pass back and forth. Each channel partner is in full control of their Bitcoin and can revoke channels and get their Bitcoin back at any time.


I'm in general pretty against custodians, but I've been letting some people use my lightning node via LNbits, so I've kind of been acting as a custodian.... If I am going to act as a custodian and Uncle Jim people onto the Bitcoin network, I would like a more private solution because as much as I love LNbits, it's really not the most private way of doing things. For the user.


I'm still pretty on the fence about this concept. I understand that people's grandmas aren't going to want to manage lightning nodes, so there are going to be some custodial trade-offs, especially at scale. Im still reading the docs though. This is my morning task. Lol.


I've been reading through the Doc's site in an attempt to kind of understand better. So far it seems like a custodial trade-off. It uses E-cash, so think cashu, for user privacy. They also urge that fetiments be run by what they are calling a 2nd party custodian. Friends, family, somebody trusted in your community that you could essentially go break their knees if they rug you.

To use their words, it's a community custody solution. The smaller the community, the higher the trust, but the lower the anonymity set. No matter what size of Fedimint  you join though, you are essentially trusting these Guardians not to collude to rug you, which is a possibility.


Damn this is pretty cool.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qqxnzdesxy6rqdp58qcrydfjqgsxedq7j0ltfhew0hnequ34lve0sxw4t4mkytrsas85vyrnvkydmhsrqsqqqa282dyxu8

To communicate, we need to connect. Mouth to ear, face to face, but also over longer distances.

For our parallel monetary system in the dark forest, we need some form of connectivity as well. That does not necessarily mean internet connection though. Local Cashu mints, or local lightning channels. The peer to peer nature of lightning is underappreciated. We do not need internet connectivity or uninterrupted connection to the whole bitcoin p2p network to be able to make local transactions.

Peer to peer messaging, using encryption and signatures is one of the better researched areas of cryptoanarchy, that's what cypherpunks started with.

Basic infrastructure can be built on email, with even simple apps and encrypted groups. DeltaChat is a good example. For high latency and resilience, mesh networks are even better. Reticulum is media independent (LoRA, tcp/ip, paper qr codes), encrypted by default and dynamic mesh routed protocol suite. For longer distances, take messages few times a day using a long range drone. Old school fidonet style mashed up with high tech UAV.

Btcpayserver, bluewallet or Zeus with local nodes, Cashu and others add payment infrastructure on top of mesh networks. For lightning, you can receive bitcoin state using Blockstream satellite receiver. Determine current prices using on chain data with UTXO.live.

Starlink or other ISPs are nice, but what if internet connection is down? Let's be conscious, play with the tech and know what we'll do. Direct experience is even better. We can do this.


:dab:


Pages via nomadnet, chatting via sideband, still waiting on parts for an rnode. So far what ive done works well.


Its pretty cool. Been messing with it for a bit now.


I definitely agree with this. Even if someone steals your private key but you have a 13th or 25th word set up, they won't be able to access your actual wallet without that final passphrase.

A common use of this would be a decoy wallet. You have a little bit of Bitcoin on an "unprotected" private key, but your real stash is hidden behind that password. You can also set a custom derivation path, but that's getting nerdy with it.


It is lol.


I do like this. The animation reminds me of Felix Colgrave.


...no?


But im a weirdo who like glitch and bleeding edge sound design.


Great stage performance, but as far as electronic music goes, it's pretty meh at least to my ears.


Initially I'm not a very big fan of fedimint, but I'm starting to get won over by use cases like this. Id have to run it myself to understand it. Mmmmm.


+1 Can confirm great book.

According to my friend that actually works with lasers, this is apparently a holy grail of laser repair FAQ.

https://www.repairfaq.org/sam/lasersam.htm


I'm not familiar with the state of Umbrel or Start 9 or other popular node implementations but do they offer self-hosted ZAP servers yet? I can understand not spinning up a server if you're not technically inclined But if you're already running a node and there's a one-click option, it's not really that much of an extra step to take.

I guess you do need a domain for lnurl soooo mmmmm. Damn. Even a one-click install would I guess take some extra effort and a domain.


And unfortunately, if channel data is out of date, you risk taking a penalty transaction.


Even a DNM's needed someplace to ship / drop stuff off to.


True facts.


I am meticulous in an extreme about my backups nowadays.


Yeah, I definitely recognize that running a lightning server is tricky. Especially based on the way that lightning is structured. Luckily I didn't have a lot of sats on them but when I was running Umbrel I definitely lost some sats to lightning for having a node nuke.


There definitely needs to be more competition in this space I think.


Yeah, this is why I'm trying to write my own scripts to help people do this as well.

I might bitch a lot about Umbrel, but I do appreciate the work that they and Start 9 do and other node instances.


These stats are still depressing. I know that running a LN node is not easy but damn. 96% custodial still?

They're doing better than me in the relationship department. Lmao


Considering I'm someone who got stickers from you I highly appreciate that.


collect only the necessary information you need to get them the product and then delete it once you have no more use for it?

Like if you were to buy a random item from me, I would need a physical address to get it to you. I personally don't care if you gave me your neighbor's address, a PO box, Or an address in some adjacent neighborhood As long You didn't blame me for the package getting lost after it's been delivered.

Once the item has been marked as delivered, you just delete the information and that's the end of the transaction.


Yeah, I actually have no idea how much that amount of RAM could cost, and I honestly don't even want to fucking know. Hope that old server gets put to good use. 😎


🤤 ohmygosh


And I would also argue, even though I can't say for certain, because I don't know how custodial solutions like wallet of Satoshi work, but I highly doubt that they're actually moving Bitcoin around and it's more like they're moving shit around on a ledger until you move it outside of their system. I would definitely believe that we've zapped a few Bitcoin, but anything over five, I have a hard time believing.


yeah I was gonna stay out of this but I definitely have to agree that if you want to convince people that nostr isn't full of a bunch of assholes this is definitely not the way to go about it.

People over on blue sky are overly concerned about censorship and mute lists and things like that IMO. But behavior like this just goes and confirms their beliefs and fuels anger.

If they want to use a platform that is aimed towards creating "safe spaces" for themselves so they don't have to see certain things, then that's ultimately their prerogative.


Yeah, I've had my eye on that project for a while.


Ignorance is bliss. 😂


You can use a seed signer to sign with sentinel. I do wish there was a XMR version of seed signer. I dont like "hardware wallets" That store my private keys. Like CC or trezor.


Ok so again not 100% sure what im doing here on #reticulum but an update.

So I now have a "main node" that is a propagation node and has a few connections to the main testnets so I can talk to people who still have default settings. I have 2 "clients" that connect to that node. Both sideband and a non-node nomadnet client on my laptop. Im not sure if this is an ideal or even a typical set-up, but the idea was to be able to use my own node as a "router" and still have a decent connection to the existing testnets.

I guess the next thing I'd like to do is figure out if I can use the same identity with my clients and my Node. Because it would be nice if someone messaged my node, I'd see it on sideband and not miss it.

Still waiting on parts for the Rnode to finish the build 100% those should be here tomorrow. (I hope This ice storm has been a mess lol.) Still got a mess of reading to do, but this has been a fun rabbit hole to go down so far.

:RedHeart:


So I guess my goal is just general connectivity and communication. Not really trying to run a private network yet. I had the idea i could use the node that's serving the nomadnet pages to connect my phone to the wider network without needing to use anothers server, if that makes sense. Kinda like running my own Core node if we are sticking to bitcoin analogies.

It's sounding like I should open a few more TPC connections on the box that's hosting my nomadnet pages.  Then I should be able to connect sideband to that node via the TCP connection I set up? or am I off the mark?

Thanks for the help.


Ok so still tinkering here not 100% sure I know what I'm doing with #reticulum yet.

That being said. I've moved my page to a new box, but the node address should still be the same. There is a new I2P address and I set up a TCP server. I'm not sure if this cuts me off from the wider network or not, but I've been sending test messages that seem to be stuck in an "on propagation net" state (at least in sideband.) If anyone wants to test the endpoints  they are below.

I set my propagation node on sideband to be my node's propagation address (not sure if that's what's breaking things or if I kinda cut myself off from the wider net despite having a few interfaces set up on this node.) if someone messing with reticulum could try pinging me on my sideband or node address it would be interesting to see If I can receive messages still

Sideband address:

I keep taking long walks in this cold snap. -10 ish at night and hasent been over 0 in 3 days.


yeah I've noticed there's always 2 sats left over in every mint that I've added.


Part of the reason I like nostrudel it shows that under mentions. Yana will to.


Oh wow the display for that on Amethyst looks really good, I thought it was a screenshot for a second.


Smooth upgrade? Ive been wating a bit.


Also the file need to be in .nomadnetwork/storage/files but for some reason the link only works if its labeled /file/filename. using "files" in the link breaks it even thats the proper file path.


I used a "labeled link" so it looks like:

`F40c`_`[Core Install`c268b4cb9faaea5878c9a167cb975f37:/file/coreinstall.sh]`_`f

Ngl the type of markdown they use is fucked. But the link structure is color > label > node Id > path to file. Its in the guide section.


I don't think it was an out of body experience. I was in a location that I guess I could consider a reoccurring dream because I've had several dreams in this particular backyard.


I wish I still had it.


I figured out how to serve files on NomadNet so I added my Core install script and the bitcoin white paper because why the hell not.

Same. I kept a dream journal and everything when I was younger to try and improve dream recall.


And I guess to be fair it's been ages since I've actively practiced lucid dreaming.


Yeah, I wasn't really super exhausted, but after doing a lot of annoying mental work I decided to sit down and close my eyes for a little bit and then started dreaming.

I'm not exactly sure this would classify it as lucid, but I kept switching between a first and third person perspective when I seemingly needed to.


Ive been getting into localy hosted wikis with info I might need for later.


Is lucid napping a thing? Played Nap Roulette and had a short really restorative nap. But kept swapping between 1st and 3rd person perspectives.

I am an independent open source software/hardware maintainer and my dream is to be able to earn enough doing that to pay for my food and shelter.

I sell the hardware at just above cost to fund experimenting with new designs (and now, apparently, to save up for desktop computer repairs).

I'm committed to open source hardware/firmware/software and long term support!

yeah I'm not sure what the other systems use but I know Umbral leans pretty heavily on Docker and I definitely would  like to ditch Docker for something a little bit simpler


Like I can think of some dorky options that I would like to see things like I2P support for all the things or better options besides TOR for accessing your device outside of your network.

But if I'm trying to make something that's focused on non-technical users, then something like that wouldn't necessarily be that appealing at least at first. UI would be key.


I had an thought last night. I'm not really a front-end guy but I'm kind of curious what it would take to be a decent competitor to something like Umbrel or Start 9. Also wondering what would set another product like that apart from Start 9, umbrel, or yunohost.

#privacytechpro privacy tool recommendations:

if you want to share a link a yt video on desktop in a way that isn't tracked by #google / #youtube, use #invidious (a youtube frontend) to share

*note

*isn't tracked by google

*always use a vpn.

from invidious faq:

"Q: What data is shared with YouTube?
A: By default, the video stream is fetched directly from Google's servers (googlevideo.com) in order to reduce the bandwidth required by invidious, meaning that Google will be able to see your IP address and some other data commonly sent by web browsers, like your user-agent string.

If you don't want that to happen, you can go to the preferences page and check the Proxy videos option. When this option is enabled, the Invidious instance will be used as a relay (also known as a "proxy") between you and Google's servers, which will hide your IP address and the other information sent by your browser."

go to https://invidious.io/ -> tap 'use invidious' -> choose a server -> paste the yt link in the search box -> tap share

on desktop you can use the ff extension called #LibRedirect to make this process much faster (there is a library of other front-ends included)

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/

on #android i recommend #UntrackMe for easy front-end privacy respecting link sharing

https://framagit.org/tom79/nitterizeme

it's only available on f-droid.

*note: if you have to use f-droid, i recommend f-droid basic (it has unattended updates)

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fdroid.basic/

also...

#LibreTube (more private) or #NewPipe are both great front-end apps for watching and sharing yt videos on android

#NewPipe

https://newpipe.net/

or #LibreTube (more private...it proxies all requests via piped and prevents google servers from accessing your ip address) are both awesome youtube front-end apps for watching and sharing

read about the differences here:

pro tip: use an always-on vpn like #mullvad

https://mullvad.net/en

or #protonvpn

https://github.com/protonvpn/android-app

...and take advantage of their splittunneling function to keep the vpn always-on but still exclude specific apps (proton also allows web addresses) from the vpn for apps/sites that don't play nicely with vpns (and many payment processors)

and as always, i recommend using #GrapheneOS for the best privacy and security on android ( factory unlocked recent-ish #pixel required )

Oh man I shouldn't laugh I'm so sorry. That looks utterly fucked


Could play with the rnode a bit today to 🤔


Rather just build my own company and hire Bitcoiners when I get to that point. Lmao.


This is kind of why I stopped looking for jobs in the Bitcoin space. wouldn't mind doing Sysadmin or web dev work for a Bitcoin company....but im not a hardcore simp and so far ive been rejected even if I get an interview.


I just don't have to go into the Fiat mines. Ice storm shut down the whole town.


Well, since everything is iced over and I still have power for now, might as well start running those server updates I was going to do on Sunday.


Well, if I lose power due to this ice storm, my lightning node will be down for a little while.


Duuude. Fuck.


Ah neato an ice storm.


"are we centralizing or decentralizing?"

"how central are the biggest relays? how many relays would need to be taken down/censored for X% of nostr hsers using clients that dont shopoet the outbox-model?"

"what % of events with e-tags leave relay hints?"

important questions we don't have tools to answer yet

maybe someone will build them and get their work funded with grants

I just wanna be palying with my rnode and Reticulum.

It turns out I don't have all the connectors that I thought I needed and I'm going to upgrade my antenna so it's going to be a few more days before I finish building out the handheld device. But I know it works. I got my phone connected to it with sideband. And some nostrich pinged me on nomadnet. Its cool to see peeps useing the network.


It's always awkward when the front of the house is slammed and nobody's ordering food, so I just sit here twiddling my thumbs.

I wonder why. Lmao.


It probably didn't help that one of our older regulars was complaining about something he had to deal with involving the government and then I was also talking about the recent crap I realized I had to do with FinCin. So we both where kinda going at it.

I've use Debian for servers mostly but I've been debating if it's a good idea to give myself a fresh install and only use Debian,  put this KDE environment on it and just move away from pop.


Remembering Aaron Swartz (November 8, 1986 – January 11, 2013), an internet freedom activist who believed knowledge should be free and not behind a pay wall. He helped build RSS spec, Creative Commons and reddit to name a few.

All I've done so far is change the theme around, explored the settings, and restored my shortcuts. I haven't really done much of a deeper dive than that.


None that I've noticed so far, but I also haven't been using it super extensively today because I've been dealing with shit away from my computer, and I do have gnome still installed just in case, but once I get used to KDE I'll probably get rid of it.


Let's just buy the rights to Netscape's logo and be done with it.


Yarp


Luckily I don't have to but it is just that good.


I would commit a various amount of crimes for a proper affogato. 🤌


Im running pop os. But it should be fine on most distros. I *think* they have builds for most distros. Just check their website.


Minorly annoying though I have a small amount of shell scripts that launch specific programs and now I have to remap all of those.


I do lmao.


Gotta love those live "oh shit" moments that help you learn.


Ive been using gnome for ages. But after reading that plasma had better Integration with KDE Connect i had to test it out.


Damn KDE plasma where you been all my life.


:RedHeart:


Ok, so I'm super late to this game, but let me post about some of the stuff I host for #nostr. I made a home page for all the stuff I host today. Ill work on cleaning up the page and making it more streamlined as I learn, but this what I can do for now.

What is "sovbit" short for? Sovereign Bitcoiner. Corny but simple and to the point. I'm hosting this stuff because I want to help the network, and I want to ease the tech burden where I can.

What I do is just a drop in the bucket, and I'm still learning. There are lots of other great services out there for relays, zaps and nostr addresses. I don't see myself taking down these services anytime soon, I'm here for the long run. So if you decide to use any of these, thank you in advance and as always you can reach out if there are any issues.

* The home page : https://sovbit.host

* Main paid relay : https://nostr.sovbit.host

* Nostdress server : https://zap.sovbit.host (this will NOT give you a wallet this is simply a server that lets you use your own node or wallet for zaps via my server)

* Nip-05 or Nostr address :  This is on the main page Via a lnbits server I host. I wanted to make a fancy front end for it, but for now an Iframe works. 10 sats if you want a sovbit.host Nip 05


I like debian a lot. Current Daily driver is pop-os and debating swapping to kde plasma for a desktop envroment. Pop Has a decent default UI but is prolly not a good distribution for server if thats what you mean by "node pc"

This took me an embarrassingly long time to work out all the kinks, but I got it all working at last. I took this on mainly to improve on my Bash scripting.

This first script will install Bitcoin Core, Tor, and I2P on a fresh box on a Debian based system (Ubuntu and the like), then configure Core based on your install choices. (I.E. if you install only TOR it will ask you if you want to only use TOR or let your node run in a hybrid mode that allows IPv4 connections.) It compiles core from scratch. I don't really have a reason why I chose to compile from scratch vs grabbing and moving a precompiled binary, but that's what it does.

Next I'll put out a script that installs LND or CLN (and some front end like RTL) and configures it based on your networking options available. The plan is to make a thing for Fulcrum and maybe other node tools if people want them. I want to make running your own node as easy as I can, and the more tools we have out there the better.

So anyway, I hope this helps at least one person and let me know if there are install scripts I should focus on after LN. Let me know if I need to improve on anything or if you encounter issues, Happy to help. #bitcoin #noderunner

Dont quote me on this but I think most clients try and do everything as locally as possible. Keeping key genaration and such off of their own servers.

There are exceptions like ZBD that dont allow you to get your private key. I would consider yourself compromised if you logged into ZBD.


Tl;dr nope no key rotation.

Do you ever listen to the podcast The Man Who Wasn't Satoshi nakamoto? It's definitely my guilty little pleasure.

It's Arthur Van Pelt, and one other person following all of the Craig Wright bullshit.


The government might make me rage to no end. But bolognese always makes me happy.


Some of you will think im just "anti-government" when I say this, which at this point is largely true, but I still try to not make snap judgements, or go all bandwagon. But...

I am starting to believe that we are entering a time where running a small business "illegally" is going to be the only way for honest people to make any income from that small business. The bureaucratic State has reached such proportions that it is now a cancerous tumor the same size as the patient it is on. And there is no way for the patient to survive but to cut the whole thing off.
When the bureacratic State raids a farmers home for no other reason than he is selling natural milk and beef to customers who want to buy natural milk and beef, your country has reached a tipping point. And either they survive, or you do. It may be uncomfortable, but it is reality.


It is truly maddening.


It definitely feels like do this or we cap your knees type set up and I think that's what's the most uncomfortable part about this for me.

I just want to be left alone.


Like it's only been a few days and I'm genuinely starting to regret trying to operate this fucking "business" above board.


And apparently, on the first of this year, a law went into place called a beneficial ownership report. Which is completely redundant in its reporting. I am already Registered in my state which includes my Social Security number and ID and home address.

But apparently, if I don't send the exact same information to FinCen, it is a civil penalty of up to $500 a day or jail time until I comply.


SURLY SEEMS THAT WAY.


So because I started advertising on radio I decided to register my web development and hosting business "officially"

I've been doing it under the table for years, but for some reason I thought because I was starting to advertise publicly in my local area that I should at least be a registered business. Maybe I could get to a point where I could pay employees and not get hit by the IRS for tax evasion.


I shouldn't laugh, but I lolled.


Genuinely wondering why I even bothered to set up a legal business at this point.


That is an entirely fair point.


Neat but sus. I dont want to rely on their servers. The hardware design is really freaking cool though. I will give it that.

"hAcKeR"

Whether it was an inside job or actually a hacker, I still think it's a pretty brilliant move to get people all worked up about price action and play them for fools.


Supposedly, the Twitter account for the SEC got hacked and said that the Bitcoin ETF had been approved and Ginsler had to say that the account was hacked and it's not approved.

yeah. its a bit different, but point being you don't need a device or use the network to hand over bitcoin to someone.  and you need to sweep so the person getting the paper wallet needs to understand that. Old tech I guess lol

One minor downside from ordering electronics from China is that more often than not I get a tracking number to a Chinese website.

How does liquid help with balancing lightning channels?


:RedHeart:


I still dont get the hype around liquid or fedimints. I get that LN has its flaws and could eventualy  be replaced with something better. But im not sure that either liquid or fedimints are the way.


No, that's super cool. I didn't know there was a bread git. 😅

I'm such a sucker for that lemongrass soap.

Yup thats where I published it.


## Chef's notes

This bread is super simple to make and takes a bit to dial in.

The only real notes I have here is you can use whatever round pan you want to bake it in. Or use a square one, just make sure the walls of the pan are high.

Less is more with this bread. You really don't want to over knead the bread here. If you're used to making bread that need a lot of kneading, this will feel odd.

## Details

- ⏲ Prep time: 27 hours
- 🍳 Cook time: 50 to 60 min
- 🍽 Servings: 1 loaf

## Ingredients

- 1-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1-3/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
- 3-1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal or additional flour

## Directions

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Using a rubber spatula, stir in 3-1/2 cups flour and salt to form a soft, sticky dough. Do not knead. Cover and let rise at room temperature 1 hour.
2. Stir down dough (dough will be sticky). Turn onto a floured surface; with floured hands pat into a 9-in. square. Fold square into thirds, forming a 9x3-in. rectangle. Fold rectangle into thirds, forming a 3-in. square. Place in a large greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise at room temperature until almost doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch down dough and repeat folding process. Return dough to bowl; refrigerate, covered, overnight.
4. Grease the bottom of a roasting pan with sides at least 4 in. high; dust pan with cornmeal. Turn dough onto a floured surface. Knead gently 6-8 times; shape into a 6-in. round loaf. Place into prepared pan; dust top with remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Cover pan and let rise at room temperature until dough expands to a 7-1/2-in. loaf, about 1-1/4 hours.
5. Preheat oven to 500°. Using a sharp knife, make a slash (1/4 in. deep) across top of loaf. Cover pan tightly with foil. Bake on lowest oven rack 25 minutes.
6. Reduce oven setting to 450°. Remove foil; bake bread until deep golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Remove loaf to a wire rack to cool.

Simple bread with a nice crust. Easy to make, just takes time.

Badge question #asknostr

If I want to make and epic badge, can it be done in browser or do I need / want a script to speed it up?


regular reminder that lightning *is* a “shared utxo” protocol that uses covenants (and multisig) to scale bitcoin payment tx thruput

most of the commentary against it points out that it does not scale number of holders in relation to # of utxos. in my mind this is a good sign of the protocol’s success (it shipped and people use it and they found drawbacks with the MVP). It’s also a sign of bad messaging around the applicability of 2-party accounts to certain payment situations (venmo for example)

sometimes it is useful to have multiparty channels; i’d argue that liquid is one such example of this.

federated mints are another one; note that both of these multiparty systems require consensus algorithms to function. fedimints were using BFS, (iiuc they just changed to a new one). liquid uses “nakamoto consensus” aka a blockchain to keep track and agree on shared balance states

Lightning was shipped as the minimum viable product to scale tx thru-put and it succeeded at that. it did this with minimalist, 2-party design as consensus from 2-parties is the simplest case. this meant it could avoid tricky consensus questions and focus on privacy + throughput instead

shipping multi-party utxos at scale will require a solutions for managing consensus amongst stakeholders in the “shared utxo”; see Ark and already existing federations for examples of contending with this problem 🫡


I guess this assumes that I get caught, but... Goddamn do I want some of these fucking things to go away.


I wonder how much trouble it would get if I shot out the street lights in my neighborhood.


I like slnt. Their decail can be cut off for extra stelth and Their pouches are magnetic, not velcro, so it  brings less attention to you opening and closing the bag.


TLDR, it's not a Bitcoin-specific problem. It's a problem with computers in general and how we represent time on computers.


If I recall correctly, it's actually referring to the UNIX date problem, which is a well acknowledged problem in UNIX formatted time which most computers use it will occur in the year 2038. I don't know what the fix is for this, maybe there's a simple solution, but because the issue is still a handful of years away no one's bothered to fix the problem.

Or maybe it's already been fixed. Either way it will cause a problem with timekeeping for computers.

Here is a wiki about it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem


HA I WIN. FIXED IT ALL.

Not to mention the eventual hard fork where we have to upgrade to a more quantum resistant cyrpto system.

Looks dank to me!


This is why im mainly a beer guy. 😂 I was thankful for the education though.


So my French co-worker today taught me how to properly taste wine and apparently I was so bad at tasting wine that I wasn't even holding my glass properly when I went to go smell my glass and taste it. He told me I was holding my glass like a caveman. 😂


I knew I liked Mosaic hops for some reason. 😅


God we literally had marathon lan parties back in the day. I have a very distinct memory of being hyper excited because we got our first 24-port switch.

Our old switch broke and then somebody's dad I think helped us buy the 24-port switch. It must have been pretty hilarious for the clerk to see a gaggle of nerds super excited about getting a 24 port switch so we can continue our lan party.


Reticulum compatible cashu wallet. Take my nuts.

Oh wow. This is cool AF.


It takes a little bit to dial in a recipe that you really like but once you get it down you wont go back to store bought.


I'm going to have to contact our ISP because I thought the IP was supposed to be static. So having a change like this was a little bit frustrating. And of course because I thought it was supposed to be static it was the last thing that I checked.


Facts


Fucking hell it was DNS issue. There was an outage in my area and my IP address changed. 😭


Lmao ipv4 addy changed after an outage in my area. It was a DNS issue. 😭


Well crap. Im Genuinely confused as to why my LNbits wallet can't fund my other LNbits. It's worked for months and all of a sudden nothing.


All i can think of is trying a new funding source.


Lmao. Fair. I'm assuming if they know what the issue is that it appears in that line of the log but for whatever reason I guess lnbits doesn't know why it can't connect.

Jan 06 21:47:56 nostr poetry[3695725]: 2024-01-06 21:47:56.09 | ERROR | lnbits.app:check_funding_source:145 | The backend for LNbitsWallet isn't working properly: 'Failed to connect to https://sovbit.dev due to: '

Is the error. So I assume that if it knows the issue it shows up after the "due to" bit.


And unfortunately I'm not sure where else I can look in my logs to try and suss out what's going on here.


They do plenty of logging, they're just not giving me anything to fucking work with. It's really fucking frustrating because the server that is the back end for my funding source is pingable from the server that LNbits is complaining about, but for some fucking reason, this particular instance of LNbits is saying that it's not working properly but also the error is blank.

It was all fine this morning now something is busted.


Fucking hell.

Warning failed to connect to funding source due to 'blank'. At least give me something to work with here lnbits FFS.


Ok so its just my secondary LNbits. My main LNbits seems fine.


Well shit. Changing TLS certs might have fucked something up. LNBits seems to think its connected to a "void wallet" and now I cant send payments.

Not really sure what to do here....reciving seems to be fine but I cant zap ATM.


This would probably make a good crust for baking a ham.


Is 2600 worth the sub? I have a store in my town that should have a copy of the most recent edition. Ill read it and decide, but I was wondering if others had subbed to it.  The yearly sub is super reasonable

Well, if you consider rotting, then I hope you find the motivation to get up. I had to finish baking off bread before work today, so that's why I got up today.


I dont ever see myself going back to any other form of social media. Soooo ill be going down with the ship if it sinks. So to speak.


Somedays you just need to lounge around naked for a bit.


100% dont get it either.


Lol as a cook I like that idea.


Reporting in 👍


I forgot this video was a thing. 😂


+1 Ive adopted a pretty similar policy recently.


So like a wiki or something?


Any and all radio content pls. I dont have a license yet. Id like to know more about LoRa. I'm actually building a small LoRa device that connects to the reticulum network.


Unpopular opinion. If Cloudflare went down, it would actually be okay. People would log into their DNS provider and switch back the name servers. Then people online would scream "WE TOLD YOU SO!!!", even though in actuality we'd be over it with half a day of downtime at most.


I think some people are specifically ripping and uploading YouTube videos which would definitely fall into the morally grey category, especially if the person who's uploading the video isn't the original uploader and is thus not getting the sats that are getting tipped.

It's definitely a little bit annoying. Which is ironic because I'm pretty staunch about freedom of information and don't really mind torrenting and other forms of piracy.


I still quadruple check addresses if it's like anything over a hundred bucks.


True.


It's definitely a bit of a trip. It feels kind of weird to run an ad. All of my business has been word of mouth up to this point.  Actively advertising even if it's a work trade Feels different. I'm not sure if it's really good or bad yet but guess we'll see.


Man, radio ads are so corny. I just got back the final mix down for the radio commercial. I'm going to run. 😅 Super glad I'm not providing my voice for this.


I'm just lazy and like to read the full changelog before updating and I haven't gotten around to doing that.


Think ill upgrade after work.


RTFM dummy.
Loool but this answers my question about expanding the scope of  TLS certs in LND
nostr:nevent1qqsvqpf5845zfc672ryypl3da3dzwj4u686dctyrvdfpd7zh8vq97fqpvemhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0dec82c33vah8wurrw3jx2cesv9snqvrgveungmrkv9jxvar4xquxxcmn8ymrwdmdwgmnx6pev3j8vvn6wemnsen489ek6mt9wfe8z0mzwfhkzerrv9ehg0t5wf6k2q3qgnwpctdec0aa00hfy4lvadftu08ccs9677mr73h9ddv2zvw8fu9sxpqqqqqqznw4clv


Ah so to answer this whole clusterfuck there is a setting in the lnd.conf you can put called tlsextraips that allows any extra IP to connect and more than one IP can be set. Just gotta nuke the old cert and key then reboot LND.

So I allowed the address that docker was using and boom issue solved. Its a janky workaround until I figure out the other issues.


I have that to. But I put nas in quotes becuse its a pi with a few SSDs pluged into it. Need to build a real and more robust nas.


Lmao. Now using syncthing to backup my data directories for both Bitcoin and Lightning to my "NAS"


:dab:


Good to know. ive been close to pulling the trigger on one myself. Building one sounds fun though.


I don't generally see a problem with them as long as whoever's using them understands that in a fire you will definitely lose that private key.

It's probably not the best for super long-term storage, but for a short to mid-term way of storing your private keys and stacking corn, it's not horrible. I've used plenty of paper wallets in the past myself Either as a way as to gift Bitcoin or to store some of my own.


Yana + amber is a sweet setup.


Not sure if this will be an unpopular take but... Obscuring all of the technical detail from people holding private keys -- essentially giving them an "easy button" -- can often result in them feeling less confident about the keys because they don't have any sense of what's going under the hood. Letting them get their hands a little dirty, letting them work with bitcoin primatives (especially ones that are portable between different tools), can help to significantly increase the confidence with which people hold their keys.


I wish i had a better source of it. I might have found a farmer last night though. They came into the wine shop I cook at and I got their card.


Goat is so good.


Absolutely. I think they're all slated to show up by the 6th, so I imagine middle of next weekish I should have it all set up and running.


I started messing with it after I saw your post last weekish. Its pretty fun. Im building the handheld thing (rnode I think) once the parts get here.

There's also two or three lesser known variations of the Wilhelm scream.


Ill stop being lazy, read the change log and update soon though. V2 transport sounds useful.


I know but it's always a boost of energy when I go to these meetups which is weird because as an introvert I don't usually get energy from crowds.


Not gonna lie, missing my local Bitcoin meetup because I'm stuck in the fiat mines really blows.


I still have yet to upgrade to v26.


I was wondering if there was a way that I could exclude it from the build or something. I'm going to have to actually take a look at the code when I get back home from my day job.


I like the way that you're doing things though I'm gonna have to read up on that because Docker just seems to add unnecessary complexity and since I'm not doing everything in Docker to begin with it's just more bullshit that can go wrong.


What's super weird is it gives me an IPv6 address in the time out error I can ping the address but when I go and curl the address to try and find the file it times out.


I don't really know how else to describe it. I can take a screenshot when I get home, but when the front end is building after I run "NPM start build" It downloads missing assets and it hangs then  times out specifically on that mp4 file.


I could avoid using Docker entirely if that "mempool-promo.mp4" download dident time out when I try and build the front end. The back end builds and runs just fine. It's the front end that's giving me problems when I try to build it.


Oh wow looks like that quoted weird. I hope the question makes sense.


Anyone smarter than me with Docker know way to maybe force this?
Ive tryed networkmode: host in my compose file but that borks everything.

I know using localhost ponts to the docker container so ofc it wont see the lnd api running. Mempool should be useing the Bridge Network in docker (If my understanding is correct that's how you get it to communicate to the local machine.) But when i use the Machines, LAN address. The connection is refused due to it being outside of the TLS certs scope.

I guess my real question is, is if I reissue my LND TLS cert does that break anything other than other local connections possibly?

My next option is to reissue my LND TLS cert so docker can connect to LND. For some reason mempool via docker can not connect to my local REST api (via 127.0.0.1) and using the machines lan address refuses the connection because it's outside of the TLS certs scope.

I just want local ln stats lol.


Trying to not run mempool in docker and the asset "mempool-promo.mp4" keeps timing out and stopping the build. I can ping the server but curl times out. 😑 annoying.


Ironically enough, I know that it's because the Bitcoin network works too well that I'm paranoid to send it somewhere that's not under my control. A mistyped key or a non-capital letter somewhere in the address will completely screw me over.


Ooof. I had to send a very significant amount of Bitcoin to a different wallet the other day and oooh man. I still triple check an address even if I copy and paste it.


Anytime I send more than like a hundred dollars of Bitcoin I get a sphincter pucker, so I get it.


I always forget that if I restart my node I need to reload my second lnbits instance that gets used for zaps and other things 😅


:RedHeart:


Fixed.


I mean, it feels illegal. It probably isn't realistically speaking because US law is pretty fucked up. But the fact that I am a customer of theirs, I want to close my account, and they refuse to close my account because it's suspended, and the only way to unsuspended is to give them my ID feels really, really fucked up.


Lmao venmo refuses to unsuspend and close my account unless I give them my ID to unsuspend my account. This has to be illegal, but im guessing its not.


Lmao. Deff not.

Sata that gets power from ddr3 what the fuck.

You warned me and like a fool I did not listen.


Yeah, my coworker who's been cooking for longer than I've been alive clued me in on that trick. Since then I've been really able to dial in the heat of the mustard I'm making. It's pretty cool.


## Chef's notes

This is a base recipe. You can and should modify it to your tastes.

For a honey mustard, add a couple tablespoons of honey.

You can affect the taste by changing the vinegar around, like a white or sherry vinegar. You can use beer instead of vinegar. Also chop up some fresh herbs like tarragon and chuck it in. You can also play with the water and vinegar ratio for less of a bite (or more).

If you want a more yellow mustard, chuck in some turmeric and sugar.

Play with the heat of the mustard by changing the seeds and the heat of the liquid you start with. Black mustard being the hottest. Starting with a cold liquid will make for a hotter mustard instead of a warm liquid. (IE white mustard seeds in a warm liquid will make for a mellow mustard vs black seeds in a cold liquid)

## Details

- ⏲ Prep time: 10ish min.
- 🍳 Cook time: 48 hours
- 🍽 Servings: About a 3/4 full 8oz jar

## Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons of brown or black whole mustard seeds
- 1/4 cup ground mustard powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

## Directions

1. Grind seeds in a spice grinder or in a mortar and pestle tell the seeds are at the desired consistency.
2. Mix the dry stuff together. (seeds, salt and powder)
3. Mix the wets in.
4. Cover and let sit for 2 days. (I use a jar) Wait time is important here. It will look soupy at first and thicken up as the seeds absorb the liquid. The time also allows the mustard to mellow. Fresh made mustard is harsh and bitter tasting so give it time.

Yet another condiment you don't need to buy at the store anon. As with the rest of the condiments I post, this is a base recipe, tweak as needed.


Eating dinner and winding down for the day.


Man for someone who loves to explore food so much I sure as hell picked the wrong roomate 😅


Tomorrow, January 4th, the verdict in Julian Assange's extradition trial will be delivered, and honestly, I can't bring myself to think that today we are celebrating the birth of the key to humanity's freedom and tomorrow, a man who did nothing wrong and has been deprived of his freedom may be stripped away of all his human rights.

I've been thinking a lot about this, especially after chatting with @Stella and John Shipton last year. They really opened my eyes to how messed up this whole situation is. If you're curious, check out our full talk here: https://youtu.be/ugeDIda5Zac

I hope tomorrow's verdict brings Julian closer to being freed and back with his family. But this isn't the end of the road for Assange. His final appeal in London's High Court is set for February. This could be his last chance to avoid extradition to the United States, where he faces serious charges. This moment is key, not just for Assange but for journalism and civil liberties worldwide.

If you're in the US, this is your call to action. Hit up your congressperson. Tell them to push Biden to drop all charges against Assange. Your voice can make a difference.

With this, I want to say that even though I'm totally blown away and super thankful for Bitcoin turning 15 today, it's tough to really get into the party mood. Knowing there are so many freedom fighters out there getting their wings clipped, it hits hard... We could be next...

Today isn't just about partying and celebrating for me. Today, I'm all about standing up to the establishment, reminding them they can't shut us down. We've got to keep fighting every single day, but especially on days like today, especially every January 3rd.

Hey nostr, I have some nodes to sell!

Not only could you get some solid hardware (even nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll started selling some of these), but you also get my time & expertise. We’ll figure out how you need me to spend my time to help you - I am looking to be a resource to plebs trying to navigate migrating away from a rpi, devs looking to cleanup their digital environment, or enterprises looking to scale their solutions.

Laptop & desktop purchasers will be guided on installation, setup, & maintenance of their new physical & virtual servers! Proxmox is FOSS software we will use to allow for the commoditization of all of your machine’s resources, allowing you to get the most out of your purchase. With one physical machine, you'll be able to cram a dozen virtual ones inside while I'll show you how to manage their compute/memory/storage requirements and interactions.

These are used ebay purchases, I'm not trying to profit off the hardware, just stacking sats with my time. Shipping or pickup at #chibitdevs included. Until I offload this hardware and complete the hourlies, I’ll be restricting my assistance to these buyers. But, I'll likely eventually offer support for byo hw/sw.

https://btcpay.dimi.gg is now live, please chat with me before a purchase if you have any questions. Payjoin enabled.


Also I kind of doubt that they are on nostr unfortunately.


Yeah, I'd like to pay for them too, but I also don't use Google Play, so I just rock their unpaid version. As far as I'm aware, there's no downside to using the unpaid version other than you're just using their software for free.

Would I like to have that $50? Yes, because that's either a couple days worth of lunch or $50 worth of Bitcoin. But I am so sick of this show-me-your-id-every-fucking-turn in the legacy goddamn system that I am willing to give it up. Seriously, fuck all those, fuck the surveillance state, fuck this dystopia.


Lmao first time using venmo in like a year plus. A homie payed me back for lunch. Went to transfer the money to my cash app account. Wait a day to verify the bank account with the two little deposit thingies that they do once the account was verified and I initiate the transfer of 50 bucks. I immediately get an email saying my account is suspended unless I send them my ID.

It's genuinely not worth the $50 for me to send them my fucking ID. They can eat shit and die.


Wooow. Its not us its you. Sure, credential stuffing is something that's very easy to not get affected by, especially if you're using a password manager and generate random passwords, but holy shit what a cop out.
