 Screens are terrible and should be nowhere near a kid.

Our relationship with our 6yo improved 100x a few years ago when we went from "a little bit of screentime" to "absolutely no screentime ever"

Highly recommend. 
 I expect by the time she is in age to make such an ask understanding how bad screens are, particularly phones, will be so common that she'll be able to self-limit without looking like a total weirdo.

we'll see, one thing I've learned about parenting (and life) is that you mostly don't need to get ahead of yourself trying to fix problems that have not occurred and might never do. 
 our strategy was to go to complete zero. Even when we curtailed it to 10 or 15 minutes a day, she was still hooked and just waiting for those minutes to arrive.

After a few weeks of zero screentime, she began replacing the crave with imagination and her whole personality completely changed.

I do try to avoid being on screens when I'm with her and I explain that when I'm using the computer is because I'm working (which is true, I hardly ever use the computer if its not to write code) 
 I honestly thought so too, but after a while of going to absolutely zero screen time she went from requiring constant entertaining to being able to play by herself for hours.

I 100% understand your sentiment though, I used to think no screentime would be playing parenting in HARD mode on, but I'm now convinced SOME screentime is playing parenting in ULTRA HARD mode. 
 thank you, sir

also nostr... hopefully by the time she is older we'll have all destroyed the eyeball brokers and addiction won't be so normal! 😀 
 the nostr experience, if you collect enough clients, can only be described as schizo effective

 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🫂🫂🫂 
 yeah, there was a bug a few months ago that caused this, no longer the case

fwiw, I think "recommended" is not the right verb for this -- I think we should change it to more like "default handler" or something like that

 Strength is a skill.

So is focus. 
 that dude is so rad; I met him in Siurana once and he told me that he is afraid of heights, yet he climbs super strong despite feeling fear while he does 
 oh, nvmd, it's adam, I thought that was dave graham 😂 
 Love to see it. Ecash unlocks a bunch of new use cases under different trade offs.

It massively expands the design space we have.

 looks like there's a bug, that event has a bech32 on the event address in the place where the pubkey should be 
 ah ok, it's just very different to how all other tags are used (no bech32 encoding) so supporting that would require changing libraries and querying for two types of indexed values (i.e. the way NIP-01 describes it and this new encoding) 
 it's not the a tag, it's the encoding of the tag that is very non-standard (i.e. doesn't follow NIP-01); I'm guessing some relays might bark at the non-standard format 
 I'm not too into conspiracy theories, but now that  @Vitor Pamplona introduced Trusted Assertions, aka Oracles... I'm pretty sure we've been infiltrated by a secret hexagon cabal

 My wife was trying to put pants on the 4yo, he starts fighting back yelling Communism 😂😂... 
 Where could he have POSSIBLY learned that from?! WHERE?!!! 
 after ~7 weeks of traveling (since just before Nostriga) I'm back at my desk today.

Feels good to be back to full-on productivity mode! 😀 
 this is the right answer, if, for example, you wanted to open the profile of the author of an event you don't know you can use the npub/profile URL, but 99% of the time you'll want to always use the nevent/naddr to open the actual event

 Just sent you the refund; I was going to zap the other note where you asked for it but couldn’t find it so sending over on this one 😅 
 Lmk if you got the payment; I don’t see the zap yet 
 I just tried sending 42k, didn’t work; 21k, didn’t work, 21 sats did work. Maybe you have too much balance in your wallet and is refusing large zaps? Otherwise just post a 42k invoice 😉 
 Worked 👌

 "blastr relays"? why? unless you mean *blasted* relays (i.e. everybody writes those events to these relays)? 
 There is no global except the NSA servers 
 What a morning…

Feeling so grateful.

 would be cool if nostrudel recognized it's being accessed via TOR and preferred to connect to relays accessible via hidden tor services or even exclusively connected through tor hidden tor services

 it feels like 1971 out of every 2016 posts bitcoiners make have some numerology behind them

I don't get it 
 who wants Testflight (iOS only) access to a NIP-60 wallet app I'm building?

10 largest zaps get you access to the testflight and to a NIP-29 community (also available through the app)

🙏  Repost for visibility, I need to pay rent 😂 
 hmm, perhaps -- I won't optimize for it yet so it will probably look quite broken 🤔 -- it should run, but it will not look nice 
 Cashu-based wallet; a wallet that follows you around nostr just like your profile and notes do 
 25M bitcoins 
 hahaha

the "contest" runs until, hmm, dunno, couple of days? yeah, let's call it 48 hours.

And no, definitely not doing any npub whitelisting! 😂 you can use any keypair you want 😀 
 🔥🔥🔥🔥 i see you.; the zap was so heavy it took some minutes for the event to get published 😂😂😂 thank you, sir! 
 bruh. iris.to:

 HAHAHAHHAAHA

I ran into the same issue and took the long road of finding the npub I wanted to tag and manually writing the nostr: npub syntax 😂 
 welcome back; I've been wondering where you were -- glad to see you back here 😀 
 a few days ago I retired a VPS that I thought didn't have anything too important; as such, a few of my sites went down, including zaplife.lol

I've migrated zaplife.lol somewhere else so it's now back online.

Looking forward to deploying some of these things on nsite so they can always be accessible just just through zaplife's npub regardless of whether my server is up or not 😉 
  @Egge can I do multimint payments with cashu-ts?
and DLEQ?

also -- would be worth adding a NIP-31 `alt` tag to the NIP-60 wallet event ;)

 we're still in the #reckless  days of nostr 
 I’ve seen something like this somewhere but don’t remember where; anyone knows?

 Used the opportunity of being in a large city to get a DEXA scan done today.

I’m a sucker for these things 😂 
 Gives me my body fat percentage and a bunch of other interesting things 😅 
 Sweeet! When are you arriving? 
 “Canwasure”? “Can use”? 
 Oh, a lot; I get per-limb lean body mass, so now I know my right arm has a little less muscle than my left arm, so now I can integrate that in my training.

For my the body fat percentage is the most relevant part because now I know that I have a lot of room to lose weight 😅 
 NO! But looking at it now I think I want to buy one and put it in my house 😂😂😂

 oh shit, yeah, you're right; I cancelled my VPS where my domain where that picture is hosted -- need to fix it! thank you!
