And wisdom is choosing the now :)


If it’s digital, then I get that. However, if you download my work and start trying to say it’s yours, or sell it as if it was yours, then that’s not cool. That wouldn’t be too far off from ripping a physical piece of art off a gallery wall and selling it on ebay lol


Going to give this a read.

I’m an artist. If I come up with some original characters, are you saying that I shouldn’t have the right to protect my creations? Shouldn’t be able to prevent others from trying to steal my art and then make money from it?


Thank you! 🙏


Could you elaborate?


Good to hear, because that’s the one I had my eye on 😂


Hey nostr:npub1hxfkcs9gvtm49702rmwn2aeuvhkd2w6f0svm4sl84g8glhzx5u9srk5p6t - you were recommended, so thought I’d see if you had any thoughts! And your community looks great, I look forward to checking it out more.

Question for node runners, specifically on Umbrel and Raspberry Pi 5.

Just got my first node set up!

Running on Raspberry Pi 5 8GB, 2TB SSD drive, enclosure with heat sink and fan, as well as a powered USB hub.

My overall interest will mainly be around:

- Bitcoin Core Node
- Maybe a Lightning Node
- Likely a BTCpay server
- Home media server (family photo/video archive)

1) First, I’m just curious if there’s anything I should be doing first thing. For example, maybe security related, etc.?

2) Second, I’m wondering what is considered the best app for a family photo archive? Think along the lines of Google Photos sort of thing… something where I can consolidate multiple years worth of family memories. Would be good if my wife could access it somehow to help organize it. Would also be amazing if it could be viewed on other devices in the home, like our TV. Anything like that?

3) What is the best way to make backups of the SSD drive so if something happens I have a backup to fall back on? Is there a good way to make a clone of the drive?

4) Fourth, even though I already have a 2TB drive, I’m already thinking ahead on what to do to expand storage on the future if/when needed. Would this be as simple is just plugging in another USB drive into one of the USB ports, and Umbrel would recognize an additional drive connected and use it in addition to the first? What’s the best way to handle this?

That’s it for now.

Thanks!


Good night moon 🌕


There can't be real change until the Overton window shifts far enough that the well meaning people (that don't realize they are modern slaves) see the truth about how things actually are.

Once regular people can clearly see - unclouded by lies - then they will naturally move towards freedom. Right now, they are simply looking at shadows on the wall of the cave they're in, not realizing that they are even in a cave, or where the source of the shadows are coming from.

The only way the current situation can persist is because:
a) the truth is concealed in various ways that they don't see
b) the truth is too hard to accept and therefore any mention of it sounds absolutely crazy... because this truth means the lie they've believed their whole lives would have to be so big that it would shatter the world perception they've had since birth... and people have a hard time swallowing a pill like that

The only way out is to move that Overton window one way or another. To show people the way out of the cave and show them the blue sky and sun shining.


for my business... I'm starting to give the option in project quotes to get a discount if they pay in bitcoin. It's not forced or required, but now just a small incentive for them to do so. And if it's not for them, then that's okay... all they have to do is ignore it.

At very least, they are being exposed to the possibility of using bitcoin.


Instead they to “Doublings”

The founder of Telegram has been kidnapped.

Why don't they (the EU States) in this case, arrest the CEO of Apple and Samsung or Google, for people using browsers and phones in the commission of crimes? Or ISPs or anyone else transmitting data? No one can answer this, because Ambulance Chasers are Computer Illiterates.

This question touches Bitcoin of course, and will have profound effects if the people who make these bad decisions are not re-educated and their ignorance neutralized.

The CEOs of Bitcoin companies must assert the truth of how things work at all times to defend not only their businesses but their hundreds of millions of users.
https://m.primal.net/KLOm.jpg


You’re right. Words matter. If English is not used correctly, it is not possible to convey meaning accurately. Or understand the true nature of an event or problem. The unethical nature of what has happened is not conveyed by “arrest” which implies a proper legal process where a criminal was interdicted.

Pavel was kidnapped. He did not know there was a kidnap order placed on his head. It was an Organized Crime style hit. PERIOD.


1984

Darkness has come to Europe, Pavel Durov, owner of Telegram, is arrested in France for refusing to censor his platform according to the new postulates of the European Soviet Union.

This is another reminder of why you don't have to use centralized platforms.

Nostr > Twitter, Instagram, TikToK...
Simplex > Signal, Telegram, Whatsapp...
Bitcoin > Banks, Visa, Matercard...
Bisq, Robosats, lnp2pbot, Mostro > Binance, Bitfinex, Kraken, Coinbase...

Darkness looms over us, learn how to defend yourself.

In ten years, the U.S. Congressional Budget Office projects $12.9 trillion in interest payments, and nothing can stop this train.

If you have no plans to get off this fiat Ponzi, WTF do you do?

No such thing as private property.  If I stop paying property tax, it won't be long before I find out who owns what. We are renters/managers of the states property.
There is only force and avoidance of force. If I can protect my property with force, then it is my property. If I rely on the force of the state to enforce my "property rights", then it is the property of the state. If I try to protect my property from the state, I will become the next Waco.
Bitcoin solved the impossible contradiction of making something that is intangible and abstract simultaneously scarce.
That is why Bitcoin is the closest thing to private property that has ever existed, because it is so difficult to steal. Afterall, how do you steal an intangible abstraction?
The previous 10,000 years since Mesopotamia will be recategorized as proto civilization as historians look back at the inception of Bitcoin as the birth of private property and civilization itself. Instead of saying "taxes are the price of civilization", people will say "taxes are the seed of barbarism".
People will be shocked that there was ever a time when people would be threatened, at gunpoint, to be thrown into a rape cage just because they didn't want to hand over resources to strangers.
The nation state will dissolve into a curiosity of the past and the festering of nationalism and world war will shrivel up under the light of Bitcoin.


People say echo chamber all the time, but here’s the thing… I can see your internet. You just can’t see mine.

The people who interact with the mainstream only see the mainstream.

The people who interact with the reactionary alternative media see all of the mainstream things and all of the dissident takedowns of it.

Some of us have the full picture.

Some of us don’t.

Only one of those things is an echo chamber.

1) some very trusted bitcoiners I know have used a raspberry pi for years without any issues. I suppose it depends how tin foil hat we want to get. Still, I do get it… there are some valid points against it

The greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing the world that the global economy needs to be micromanaged by academic economists who manipulate interest rates and the supply of money and that sound money is bad for the economy.


Over 260 #Bitcoin have been zapped across nostr so far...

that's over $11 MILLION sent between users across a nascent, open source, free & permissionless network.

Insane.

Most of the world is completely unaware that the global monetary system is built on a house of cards, better referred to as a Ponzi scheme. The mass of men believe that the money they hold is good money and that the people who control that money, the central banks, are the smartest people in the room. This class of unwitting men is completely unaware that every central bank around the world is engages in moral hazard on a day to day basis because they are operating in a system with completely perverse incentives.

Initially ran into an issue where I couldn't post anything... discovered that it was due to having no relays! Not sure why there were no suggested relays, even after attempting a "restore to default" - but just copy & pasted some in the settings and that did the trick.

The coolest part about Primal is the wallet functionality ... makes zapping super easy and low barrier to entry! Nice work Primal

The fact that Bitcoin isn't yet accepted everywheree and for everything really underlines for me how few people have actually used Lightning. Whenever I show somebody how it works, there's always that "wow" moment. But why was it a surprise?

The problem is that normal people still understand BTC from the one half-remembered opinion piece they read in 2017, and are operating under the belief that transactions still take an hour to settle, rather than being instantaneous and irreversible — money transmission without the Paypal Problem. The public mind needs a cache refresh.
