It was a term originating in the black community to mean switched on. I don't know who then brought it to the wider culture, maybe Jack Dorsey... Anyway, the pejorative use has got pretty lame, for the reasons stated before.

There's a lot of intolerant people about, Karl Popper said some shit on the subject...

All kinds of people have been labelled woke, this post is probably woke, the letter J is definitely woke and hair is wokest of all. I don't think it's just the rebellious children of evangelicals. All the things are true as are none of the things true.

Lumping loads of people into one group doesn't work for me. I'd rather deal with people on a case by case basis, although some will have a greater level of distrust from me at the outset (I'm thinking politicians and finance people on podcasts).

Before woke there was political correctness, after woke there DEI. A lot of people are always looking to 'other' people. Fortunately here's some Frank Zappa. #OtherPeople https://yewtu.be/watch?v=ffZ4aOXcGR8&listen=1

The WeDecentralise people seem to be interested in all the platforms. Although the podcasts I've heard have tended to feature one protocol, not a round-table. I'd love to hear that too.

Not come across Urbit before.


Thanks for explaining family for me, it's always been a mystery...


Good morning. Have a good one!


That would be amazing, just penalties until they all die of exhaustion.


I don’t look at it in that way, sure I could go all Mises on the situation and see my dad as a purely economic unit. I choose to see it differently though, it’s family.


I like the Fediverse, been there since 2019 when I trashed all the corporate bs internet. Lots of friends on there and the music scene is way bigger than here (even considering the proportional differences).

Woke is such a funny word twisted in all kinds of ways until it’s just ‘people I don’t like’.

I like crazy people, there’s a lot of nut cases on Nostr as well, just a different kind.

In my humble opinion people need to chill and accept we’re not all the same and that’s cool.


First penalty shoot out to go into negative numbers.


LOL!


The left use BlueSky!? I didn't think anyone used BlueSky. Maybe they do, I never made an account as I didn't give the vibe. It is odd that so many on the left reject the indie web for corporate platforms. I've tried to get people on the Fediverse with little luck. One comment was 'why would I want to hang out with a bunch of Linux nerds'.

It doesn't bother me though, I'm very happy with my internet choices. Nostr b2b Fediverse gives a nice balanced outlook on the world without being crushed by babylon.


Hi There !
Who made your latest album cover?

My main goal as a Graphic designer is to contribute to the music ecosystem and since 2016 my digital artwork has been published as tens of album covers and event posters. My designs are recognizable by subtle monochrome color palettes, fractal composition and illusion of depth. I like to utilize basic geometric shapes and bold modern fonts. I have an extensive stock of my own photography that is often used for my digital work.

See some of my work on my LinkedIn posts

An original cover design (3000x3000px, RGB, 72dpi) for your digital album release is starting at 90Euro (including two revisions).
Beyond that I offer a wide range of options for digital or physical album releases that will vary in authenticity, scope and completion time. I am also happy to produce different assets like animated versions of album cover for Youtube upload, cover presentation as an IG reel or release announcement IG story, matching event/tour poster and similar.

As an economic option I maintain an offer of pre-made album covers where only the text would be customized for your Album.

Drop me a line about your album release needs to get a personalized offer and feel free to reach out with any questions.

Ah I see, well she has two sons and her family are pretty close so I imagine they will be on hand for her. I'd still help out a bit but the bulk of the responsibility is with them.

Hopefully neither get to a stage where they are unable to function at all without help. It's a sad time in many ways but such is life. We all live, we all die.


I know, I’ve taken steps to help reduce the potential impact, I no longer drink alcohol, I’ve adjusted my diet and I keep up with research on the topic.


Best of luck out there.


But, given the care he  needs and the situations I’m also dealing with in my own home. How do you suggest I manage the cost of two households whilst caring full time?


I do love him and do what I can. He lives quit far away.

Given th  we chaotic nature of my own life, I think the current situation is better than me becoming a full time career for him.

There’s way more to the story than info I’m sharing on here!

Christians on here are very preoccupied with sex and wanking.

I’m glad I’m here as it’s a perspective I’m unfamiliar with but it is curious…

Morning!


It’s funny when you hear folks talk about wanting monarchies back. Europe’s generally rejected them and most countries wanted to cut ties with the english royal family because they’re pretty seedy characters.

Strange.


I dig the app but it’s been super unstable on iTelephone in the last month.

Maybe ask Peter Thiel? He spends a lot more time on these matters.

There was a moment I felt more open to political solutions and then I saw up close how political powers work (my partner was very active in political campaigns). It left a nasty taste and combine that with the power of the surveillance industry, it’s hard not to feel defeatist.

Do you have any ideas?


There are but they never attain positions of power.

Interesting…

Finally got Sonarworks and whilst I was quite surprised how good the ITB monitoring was. Sonarworks revels a lot more detail in reverb and stereo image but the test going through the Soundcraft is a totally different story, massive dip at 50Hz needed and a fairly strong boost at 100Hz.

Surprised how lumpily the Soundcraft colours the signal.

Hmm just the once I think (although was in intensive care as a baby, I guess that counts). I jumped off a boat in Greece and the shock of the cold water stopped me from being able to swim for a few seconds, felt like I had to give it everything I had to make it to the surface.

Indeed. Most traits don’t apply to me, some very much do but I question the whole thing a lot.

I don’t tend to talk about it much, it’s not a label I particularly want. I earn coin for the things I do and I don’t have a bullshit job.

It’s defo a weird one, I’ve a long history of being a bit mental in one way or another but maybe I just think differently and less prone to be put in a box? So they made a new box… lol

How do I go about becoming a YT documentary maker?


Maybe not… I got diagnosed with it in 2020. It’s a weird one. I defo don’t fit in a lot of places but it’s possible I just have a natural reaction to bullshit?

What’s Bukkake done now?


Good to know, there’s nothing super sensitive there but still wouldn’t be happy if it was attacked!


Yes I guess that's a bit of a risk but I do most 'cloud' stuff via my own Nextcloud set up. However, given the Proton is there and e2e I might start making more use of it... Completely overhauling my server on Thursday.

Thinking about it, it probably makes sense to backup my Nextcloud to Proton, then there's redundancy.


After playing around for a while I've gone all in with a Proton subscription, I paid using some sort of magic internet money which should please the money enthusiasts here.

Hope I don't get rugged now everything's redirecting there....


Morning!


Wicked track! Probably still unconsciously reference that when Liotia stuff tbh.

Indeed....

Also - Corbyn, larger number of votes and percentage than Starmer, Starmer is the landslide winner? Corbyn condemned to history as an anti-Semitism. The UK system is dumb as fuck.

Small joy at seeing some cunts go away. Displaced by new cunts doing exactly the same thing.

At least there's some independents who may actually do what they believe to be right, instead of a party line that's been paid for.


I’ve also had problems this morning…


She was the archetypal Instagram Influencer…


Thank you! Whilst I know her political views would terrify most her, she is a wonderful, very empathetic woman and I love her very much! I think we balance each other out in many ways.


The irony being that Rand, in later life was taken car off by the state... lol

I'm aware of her work but that point always stuck with me. Not as a justification for the state but that people can become unwell or just age and often end up needing care. A life of selfishness ended with her in that position which to my mind, discredits her somewhat.

I'm vary aware that my world view at 20 is very different to what it is now and I expect the same to be true if I reach 80. Whilst clearly very smart, I think Rand lacked humility and it kicked her in the arse eventually.


Haha! Both.


I used to smoke very heavily but gave up about 15 years ago.

I’ve heard Brian Johnson (some guy who wants to live forever) is using nicotine, Tucker Carlson uses it for his boner (sorry) and it’s being reported as a cognitive booster.

This has all happened in a short time, maybe it’s just updated research, also it could be a push by the tobacco industry to maintain sales.


Morning!


I think that's basically horse shoe theory isn't it? I spend a fair amount of time in a state of cognitive disonance but I try to keep open to different and new ideas. I'm very aware of how little I know. A lot of political people think they have the answers but the world is clearly super complex.

Lot's of libertarian ideals sound like they work at small scale but we don't live in that world. We have mega corporations, we all use the same tech, capitalism will centralise production as it's more efficient.

Like I said, I don't have any answers....


I feel this revelation should come with a trigger warning on here...


Interesting…

My other half is a staunch socialist, we get married in two weeks time. Are you suggesting her outlook will change from that point?

I’ve always veered more toward anarchic behaviour myself although we initially met on a political campaign in 2017.

Funny though, Starmer’s party got less actual votes than Corbyn but history will report him as a major winner and Corbyn a massive loser.

Bread and circuses. The war machine continues unabated.

Only 30 people came, a massive shame, she's a fantastic singer and writer.

Venue manager, said it's the hardest it's ever been (and it's always been tough)

In our set, I said if people like us, buy music at Bandcamp and fuck Spotify because we don't get paid.

We got some sales this morning but really felt for the headline, who also said how important physical sales were for them.

The indie music scene looks bleak.

Privatise the profits, socialise the losses!

PPI going into hyper-drive.

https://youtu.be/xQowZMwWi9k


Good morning folks,

England is changing it's political colour today. I don't think people are ready for the acceleration of Public/Private initiatives which lead to the extraction of capital from the state into private hands.

I look forward to more privatisation of profits and socialising the loses. It's all very exciting...

Obviously the consensus here is that the system should be fully private. I'm agnostic as I haven't seen that actually happen anywhere, the USA is supposed to be the closest to that but as we all know that's far from the case. Ok maybe Singapore or Dubai? But having never been there, I only have anecdotal evidence.

Anyway, I think this PPI set up is actually worse than bog standard socialism. You get the worst of money printing, whilst increasing the wealth gap.

There's a lot of YOU MUST DO THIS or THIS WILL HAPPEN today (not on Nostr, to be fair). I don't buy it. Welcome to the new boss, same as the old boss.... or maybe a little worse lol.

I'm going to try and keeping thinking of ideas to keep myself and my partner afloat regardless.


I’m already aware things are pretty bad. That’s not quite my angle. I think I’m ultimately interested in seeing organisations interested in this sort of thing. It would be something good to be involved in.

I’m rather isolated in my area.


Where can I get a bag if dicks?


A hodl tax… sounds like it would be popular.

I guess the magazine has to drive engagement somehow. Probably working with this article.

I get that, sometimes  it can be frustrating that things aren’t as efficient as they could be but also sometimes it’s frustrating seeing how difficult some people have it, through no fault of their own, and it’s not as if humanity is short of resources.

I don’t have the answers but I’m curious as some folks are very sure they do have the answers!

I’ll keep my end up and see if somethings really do fix everything…


I know some aren't keen but I make so many typos it's embarrassing!

Hello!


I still don't see much discussion of how though.

 I remember Saifedean Ammous once saying he never donates to charity, I'm sure there's many others. Is this just because of tax or are some people just uncharitable?

Breaking it down to percentates is odd.... But maybe we can try.

If a household income is £50,000p/a but with a child who's medical costs come to £150,000 p/a. Does insurance cover these types of scenarios? I can imagine insurance companies just turning these cases down.

Maybe you're right and folks start donating more, then maybe that creates enough of an incentive for charities to take over. It's just something I rarely see discussed and the idea of bodies piling up outside a citadel begging for help never really appealed to me.

Very happy to be educated on the matter.


From what I've listened to, they seem pretty joyless people. Sometimes I wonder if should I read them, then I come back to my first point. Whilst the commodity theory of money prevails through the culture here, I also want joy in my life, when I think of everything I do reduced to mere economic factors I get rather depressed.

There's music, there's art, there's fun! I question how much fun Mises ever had? Maybe that's high time preference but it's my time so I'll pick and choose preferences as I see fit. A lot of human activity I don't see falling into purely market based activity and not all incentives are financial. Maybe my understanding is limited? I'm sure it is. Interested to see what others make of it...


That’s what I like about it, I can repurpose some old sheets and coat hangers.

It’ll also double up as a tent when travelling.


One thing I rarely (if ever) hear about from money enthusiasts is what to do about people with disabilities who are unable to work or have reduced capabilities for work.

In my country the state offers some degree of support and obviously that’s a brain melt situation for most people.

I’m assuming church folks will say the church will care/offer help?

What about non church folks? Sure personall responsibility is fine and all but if you’re born with a serious disability, what happens to the average family that can not afford the medical expenses?

Will these all fall into a crowd funding situation?

I’m curious to know peoples thoughts and hopefully more nuanced than a ‘duh who will build the roads’ cliche.

Another thing would be children in abusive families etc. over the years I’ve worked with young people with truly harrowing stories of the darkest abuse, providing music therapy, which can be a useful tool for dealing with emotional trauma. Ultimately the funding from this has been mostly the state, although the organisation has received some charitable donations, it nowhere near covers the cost of helping these young people recover.

The statistics for abused kids going into crime or becoming abusers themselves is extraordinary high.

What happens to these people under a bitcoin standard?


I like it.

Very creative way to get them using the tool. Nicely done.


Just 24 hours before the UK election. Excitement levels are super high…

Good morning!


Fair but the Hip Hop police can be pretty hardcore sometimes…


Well if it leads to more of this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOKn33-q4Ao


Excessive masturbation.


Maybe he's just that wack?!


There are several bangers on this new nostr:nprofile1qqszy58kj62v9fpe98nhuh0q76np4e0r0g0wd44rhth3wphdnyqjfzcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwvd6hyun9de6zuenedyq3yamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwccxctnfduyrnr5s playlist. https://wavlake.com/playlist/9e13a5e0-a007-48d0-9b5a-d63f791db03b


What's it done now!?


I try not to think about stuff, I think I got here by accident.


Nice to see one of mine in there! 😃

Nos 0.1.19 is available on TestFlight! This is another release focused on stability and performance.

We're always looking for more beta testers. If you'd like to help us succeed you can follow these instructions to install Nos: https://www.nos.social/install

Changes:
- Fixed a crash on the notifications tab
- Fixed a performance issue after opening the Discover tab.
- Cache NIP-05 validations to save network usage.
- Add "Share database" button to Settings to help with debugging.


So what you're saying is none of your old friends like you anymore?


started this group for photoshop, photoshopping, and other photo editors for people to share work, questions, requests, good tutorials they've found and other photo editing related stuff and whatnot :)

#photoshop


All sounds very exciting. Why don't you message me on Matrix and we can chat fun ideas etc.


Yes.


But I'm enjoying the film!


Yes, mostly devs working on apps or things built on the NOSTR protocol. There’s not many creators/artists here but that maybe an advantage, Being here relatively early could be a head start.

Im currently getting some help with the people at nos.social and am beta testing their app. They’re building something aimed at creators.

As you know I’m searching at the moment, having quite a few fails but that’s part of the process right?


Sounds good Tim! I think there’s a good vibe of people doing stuff here.


What's new? Well, I haven't posted here much at all, so:

- I've managed to get my old domain back and have found some incredibly cheap hosting via a Mastodon user for 2.5 ukp per month.

- I intend to offer my services from now on employing a V4V / donation model. I'm getting old now, and it's time to "pay it forward".

- What are my services? Well apart from occasion audiobook narration, I'm mainly focussing on something I've done for the last 30 years or so, which is helping people to dissolve the affects of: failed goals, outmoded beliefs, phobias mainly using a process of inquiry.

More details to follow.


Appreciate the offer… will take you up once I get these core Linux issues fixed. 👊🏼


I’m going to wait until I have something I’m happier with till I clip. Did have a good chat with a proper Linux person irl. We’re going to skill trade and he’ll help me rebuild my server. I’ve made quite a mess with things, he laughed and said even google’s ports and DNS weren’t as complicated as what I’ve muddled together!


I’m definitely seeking… not so much on the social side, I feel like I’ve been through that with the Fediverse but I’m trying new things here (well new to me) and I know I haven’t found  the thing I’m looking for yet. For me it’s more about finding a new model for income on a broken internet.

A world where creative people can earn directly for their trade with minimal advertising or surveillance at this stage sounds a little utopian but I’m totally down for that.

Whatever happens I’m going to keep learning.


He really needs to share that with the England team, might wake them up a bit!


Not going to stream today, am exhausted from running on empty yesterday and I've got a long session today

However, I've worked out a skill swap with a local Linux wiz. He'll help me rebuild my server, dockerising everything and we'll reverse proxy etc. taking me through each step.

As well as improving security, it should also improve performance.

Very happy there's someone to help irl. I tie myself in knots with online guides and if something doesn't work I never understand why.


A pleasure, interested to see what you're cooking up!

My perspective is taking ownership of the data, I already have a domain. If it streams from that I 1: don’t have to pay addition fees 2: I can control what’s archived.

I don’t think Zapstream allows me to delete and the streams so far have all started poorly, especially the first ones where it kept going when OBS crashed.

Ive tried as much as possible to keep and use my data so I have Nextcloud, my music, PeerTube and Mastodon instances.

Personally I think Meta ruined the internet and I’m taking my little piece back!


I was hoping it could just be Trump/Biden forever and ever and ever. Think his fun that would be!

We can use AI and robotics to keep them both alive forever. Everyone wins!


I’m still trying to hook things up so I can stream via my own site but not understanding the web stuff is super frustrating.

Zapstream is good, it’s worked well so far but it’s still not data sovereign.

The other thing is culture. Bitcoiners have pissed off a lot of people over the years and I’ve already had the odd comment about being more focussed on it. My reasons go pretty deep and I won’t bore you but I know if I was hosting on my own site using something like Owncast I’d get a lot more support on Fedi.

I’m not hating on ZapStream at all, just reporting what’s going on.


I remember this thing happened once and it wasn’t bitcoin, man that was wild! I didn’t know what to make of it…


Hmm lots to consider with this streaming malarkey. I know I’m a way off with what on earth I’m doing but I’m learning….

I wonder what the kidz do with this stuff to make it look cool? I tried playing with filters etc. but it just looked corny.

Also want to improve the audio.

Will livestream a practice session later today.

Morning!


Great, I’ve been looking for a decent plasterer.


Going to be streaming around 07:30 UTC, so 30 mins from now.

Expect some African and Middle Eastern gems as well as some Jazz and maybe a bit of Reggae.

Link will follow once I go live…

Nice striped road there.

Good morning.


My wedding is in 2 weeks time, feels like I should be doing something related to organising.

Organising is not my strength. Can I disorganise it after someone else organises it?


I think I’m going to vote tactically Thursday, I’ve ordered some combat fatigues, a compass and a can that will store 4 days worth of water.

I’ve found a really good hide out position opposite the voting station. My plan is to storm the building around 21:50 and I even have my own pen.

They won’t know what hit them.


I was too involved in myself and all my doom in the 90s to be much aware of the wider world tbh. Being PC/non PC wouldn’t have even occurred to me.

But there was music, there was always music.


Quack quack.


I read that as Inflation is the sincerest…

I’ve been spending too much time here.


Morning!He looks like George Bush with that expression on his face


04:30 time to commence this Monday morning thing. Good morning to you and your fellow space travellers.


Is it gonna be Marty?


I’ve been practicing The Biden, I got it nailed about 3am this morning.


Wicked, Garth from The Office just came on for England.


Pickford = Biden


Look what happens when they kick the ball better!


Southgate needs to let them know, they seem oblivious.


England should really try kicking the ball better than Slovenia in the second half.

#SportsBall


Were there any good Trump/Biden themed dances?


They need to try kicking the ball better than Slovenia. Shame they haven’t considered that yet.


Yuppy flip flops.


Dopamine’s a hell of a drug…


Most things are tbf.


Morning!


It’s definitely happening in a few places, wouldn’t be surprised although I don’t see the point. Some 17 year old kiddy pointing a rifle at a nuke or a load of drones seems pretty futile.


The zaps are for the cat haha


Prince’s death was more like shock, not sadness. I was travelling with another musician and we were just silenced by that.


Still slaps. Guru is still the only musician’s death (other than those I knew) that hit me. RIP Keith Elam

Well now he’ll never know my ideas for Blockstream. His loss!


Nah, got to be the real deal, he typed hello in an english accent.


So Adam Back dm’ed me, I messaged him back and now he’s gone quiet. Miserable bastard, I could’ve helped him.


Until JPEG


40mph on that?! Wow.


Ok have installed Owncast and am fuxxing with domains so if you're a North Korean hacker trying to use my CPU to mine Kim Jong Un Coin now's your chance!


Ooh Adam Back is following me, he must want to discuss the future of Blockstream with me!


What I find baffling is people still falling for the free speech meme on X.

I honestly think a lot of people will just blindly follow along. I don’t know anyone irl here nor on the Fediverse. Most people just don’t seem to value their digital capital that much.

I do think SM will dissipate, we’ve already seen that with Fedi/BlueSky/Threads but a lot of people seem to want the next big thing.

I’ve been trying to convince my other half for years now and she still uses Meta products and has a lot of her research there. Even this morning I told her about how MTV just deleted their archives. Corporations are ephemeral entities, it’s not the place you want your work stored.

I have no idea what the future holds but I like the potential here, even if it stays small, I probably prefer that tbh


Damn, I missed that, should’ve paid attention!


Heil Ostrich!


If you want loyalty but a dog…


I tried the glue on pizza, it was quite tasty.


I know, I take it SA stopped them? I only get to watch odd bits at work as the sports channel’s often on in the lounge, we stopped working when Bangladesh collapsed!


Indeed. At least I just find it funny now, there was a point I cared and it only lead to depression.


Best option we have.


Missed it but did see Afghanistan beat Bangladesh, great game.


Math is easy, it’s just one problem, it’s when it becomes maths things get really tough.


Morning!


It’s a tough one, taking a music perspective, you have at best 5 seconds to create an impression on someone and they either like it or they don’t. I imagine UX is similar. Nodes are a big hurdle! Custodial on Nostr sounds like a great entry point, minimal friction.

Nostr could help change the minds of those we who already used up their 5 seconds of attention on Bitcoin 5 years ago.


I’ve ordered myself a little webcam for streams so I can have a funky angle shot.

Going to be serious production going down… lol.


Child labour peaked with chimney sweeps.


What about they say thanks to technology they’ve created an AI of Biden from 5 years ago, one that can remember stuff and because it’s AI you can have multiple Bidens so he can be VP too.


Good morning!


It’s a nice slice of brain.


These aren’t even boomers, these are silent generation… except they’re not very good at silence.


So what you’re saying is we should email asking what you think the price will be in 10 years?


Which piece?


Cool!


Oof!


A page of adverts before any useful links?!


Cars peaked with the Cortina. #Fact


I also have heard repeatedly that a lot of artists trying to get signed to a label won’t be considered unless they already have an established following online. They have no choice but to play the influencer game if they want to even have a chance.


Absolutely true. The world for young musicians is very different to the one I came up in.

Also most musicians I know hate the promo side of stuff, it can feel very icky, it’s not typically what they’re good at, especially when trying to compete with people with teams making content.

If Nostr can help create a world where folks can concentrate on making good music and not selling socks then I’m here for it!


We get through loads! Maybe I’m a cat?!


Haha!


No, they just want a way to sell their work. They’re on those platforms because there’s a feedback loop saying they need to be on that platform or else get a proper job.

Proper jobs suck. V4V could really help a lot of us out. I don’t want to advertise Grammarly.


Zapstream can be used for streaming live events etc.


You just call me a normie?!

Jeez….


I’m looking for someone with a background in theatre to do a format review of a short script for a one-act, one-scene play. It should be ready for review by mid-July.

Yeah but keep it quiet, thats my big idea to make billions.


"A donk is an offbeat bass sound, best described as the noise a metal drainpipe makes when hit by a stick... also refered as bamboo bass" 🧡

Every zap (donk) should make such a noise 🔥


Have a good one!

Morning!


Zaps should be called Donks imo. I’m calling them Donks.

No masters, no rules.


Well that earns a Donk Star from me. Well played. 🤟🏽

Other than yay Bitcoin, what do you intend to do once you have some sort of power?

It’s weird, I’d assume nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle Dorsey would be party to some next level information, what with knowing so many rich and influential people but he watches the same YouTube videos I do.

It only covers one problem. You needs maths for multiple problems.


Oh really? Didn’t know that… lucky you!


No?


If China wanted to disrupt the election surely they'd just let people watch it? Probably the most disruptive strategy.


lol


I wouldn't want to do the maths... It's a fucking slaughter though. Heartbreaking.


USA, UK, France, Israel, Germany, Belgium, Cambodia, Sudan, Russia, Liberia and Sierra Leone immediately spring to mind. I'm sure I'm missing loads out though.


Heavy heavy track.

We’ve been doing some new bits with Horace lately, going to be some nice surprises when the record comes out.


It’s verging on abuse of the elderly letting him carry on at this point.

Let's check out some OPM (Other People's Music)! Here's the digest thread of my weekly blog covering independently released #music from around the Fediverse and beyond!

Nostr’s just this thing y’kno.

I’m going on the basis that it is what you want it to be. I’m a music maker, not a dev but I’m making my own little area here. Welcome aboard!


Very cool


What’s the German for bellend? He could change his name to that.


How’s his super cycle going?

M0ark


No, says lube face.


Agreed, there’s so much to it.


Yeah I certainly wouldn’t say suicide is down to stupidity. Having been up close and personal with both sides, it’s a heartbreaking topic.

Dead people aren’t always stupid. It’s a pretty calculated move. It’s devastating.


As a mental I probably have some things to say on this. However, given this is a permanent record I don’t think I want to.


Same, like what else did you do in that nano second that was so important?

I say good morning because I’m interested in people and what they’re up to. Not as a generic I do this and then go about my business.

I wasn’t even aware of the GM thing until I heard a recording of a shitcoin Twitter spaces and they were actually saying GM to each other out loud. My cringe responses went into to drive…

Anyway Kevin, how are you today?


Can confirm. Don’t they say sleep is the cousin of death…

Unlike MySpace, X doesn't let  you add HTML sparkles to your profile. Oh X is a privacy nightmare, typing into a black box of goon feed. Freedom of speech on X is just a funny meme.

More to the point, can you justify why you still have an account there?


Good morning.


Guide to using AI without broadcasting your deepest thoughts to attackers.

1. Self host your AI models. Don't use hosted services.

2. Follow the theinference code or at least make sure that someone else can follow it (opensource).

3. Turn off logging (is a feature in most open source UI).

4. Don't fine tune with personal data or else be very careful with the security of the new weights.

 anything else is just broadcasting your conversations with AI to at best ad companies and at worst the exact person or institutions you don't want.

Everything is conveniently indexed for your attackers if you mess up.

Being focussed on privacy doesn't mean you don't use new tech, it only means you do it responsibly.

Unless everything’s like totally cool in the USA now and all the problems are solved?!!!

Is that Phil Collins? Good morning…


Haha!! Massive thunder clap, yeah I like Nostur, making this my daily driver for the time being.


I just had a look... You can't even add HTML sparkles to your profile. Rubbish website!


I joined becuase it an open protocol where I can host my own server. Sure a bunch of folks came in 2022 because of some guy or something but that wasn't me!


Nostur probably isn't the best name for a client tbh. Too close to the protocol name. I like it though...


I'm using Alby connect... I've just discivered I can zap users if I go to their profile, just not on posts. I guess that's not implemented yet. I guess going to the profile is fine for now.


I'm using Nostur as described in my post... I also use NoStrudel on desktop, no problem.

I've found I can zap if I go to a user's profile but not on an individual post. Maybe that's not been implemented yet. Hmm...

Never heard of Xitter, is it like MySpace?


Maybe I’m being daft (high probability) but how do I zap in #Nostur?

It says my wallet’s connected but there’s no zap button?

Hmm…


Splash that cash!


I do like it but I’ve always got errors trying to sync to my node. I just started over the node from scratch so will try again once node is synced.


Ok made good progress this morning, I’m still having issues with my PeerTube instance, OBS crashes as soon as I click stream every way I try. However, ZapStream is solid.

This audio should’ve been much higher quality too as I wasn’t constantly broadcasting off the mic channel with all my keyboard taps coming through.

Ideally it would be nice if I could delete these early streams due to all the technical problems but I’m not too hung up on it, mistakes happen, especially when doing something new.

I’ll likely test OpenCast over the weekend. The optimum set up is to be on own domain, with zaps going direct to my own node.

Each a step at a time, I’m doing these all early in the morning before my day job starts, the biggest hurdle I have is time, cold blooded time!

Onwards and upwards!


Yeah it's a setting in OBS, unless it's specifically set to mono it just comes in once channel, despite being a stereo in!


Ah thank you, it's been a bit of a mssion!


Will do, I'm off to work in a mo but Friday could be good if you're about?


Ah thanks Ax!


My little home studio shed...


Ahh, will have to check further!


No, I did try installing it on my server but got lost in the weeds. Having so many little tech bugs at the mo and time is so limited!


He's unsure.... currently hard drives on his favorite blanket, I think he's pissed off with me!


George has entered!


Spent about an hour and a half, trying different things this morning


No every time I try OBS crashes instantly, I've tried it loads of different ways. Frustratingly Zap Stream keeps going regardless so there's a stream with loads of cuts!


Thank you!

Do I need to be an expert or have a large following?
- No, this is a great opportunity for emerging creators who want to expand their network on Nostr.

What types creators should apply?
- Artists, musicians and photographers because we all need more art and they need some zaps!
- Hobbyists who are passionate about their craft. Love to garden? Fix old cars? Repair watches? Want to share your passion with others? Apply!
- Knowledge creators / curators. We have some great curators in the program today including nostr:npub1a2a85jwde32zjsjk02ujasydqc3t2w9rfgfe97amm0r4d9mepfxsxf3fnn who posts both original and curated content about all things women’s health and nostr:npub12cat0ar0xq8fy68u5z3fyaksvt2h0lgqmrd5v4djlmyejj3j3ktsa7yqpp for the latest sports news from around the globe.
- Game streamers / music streamers - I know there are some gamers on Nostr who would love to remain in network to learn from others.

To learn more and apply, click the link below or share it with friends who are tired of the corporate algorithm game!

We risk loosing the free and open internet we’ve relied on to organize for social change. nostr:npub1jcwuf0dh5vqsq44qavygqwjfecawf53fmx7gadlcdtuexz0548hqy4jyrz is calling on everybody to get involved in the movement to stop KOSA, the bill which will cause websites to need to KYC everybody in order to ‘protect children’. And it won’t protect kids either!

https://www.stopkosa.com/


In the UK the FT and Guardian, who used to have reputations for good reporting foreign affairs, completely useless. The only stories The Guardian prints now tend to be 'I saw a dolphin with a flip flop stuck in its bottom and now I feel sad".


There's certainly good reason to celebrate the news of Julian Assange's release.

However, it's important to not lose sight of just what has taken place over the years. As Patrick Eddington notes, "The US government’s successful multi-year pursuit of Assange was meant to send a message to any others considering exposing federal government wrongdoing in the national security arena: we will make the story about you, not our crimes, and we will get you, one way or another."

So while the news was indeed welcome, there is still much to be done.

https://www.cato.org/blog/assange-process-was-punishment


Selling kitchen items on Instagram?

No idea but the guy deserves a whole lot of do whatever the fuck he likes time.


I’m happy to send him some sats.


Man getting some odd takes on the Fediverse about Assange. Apparently locking journalists up in Britain's toughest jail, in isolation, without trial is totally cool because on a personal level Assange was a cunt.

My dad was a journalist and a cunt as well... Lock him up!

(Still love you dad x)


I went for a safer estimate as I’m aware there’s too much hyperbole in the world but I think you’re right. So much death over fuck all. 9/11 was bloody Saudis ffs! But hey, they’re happy to do deals with oil and weapons so it’s all good as far as US and UK.

Assange getting out is a definite win. Now maybe more journalists will start being brave again?! I don’t think there’s any from that school left.


Thanks, he really was a brilliant man, my one regret is not spending enough time with him. He died too young. He packed a lot into that life though!


Wow loads of issues listening back to that stream...

There really should be a 'dummy feed' option so I can properly check everything before going live. Maybe that function exists and I haven't found it yet?

Anyways, I've always been honest about my basic stupidity but rather than get bogged down and quit, I'm happy to learn live in real time and do it (Not in a Zuckerberg way, I don't want to spy on you).

It will get better, promise!


Stream ended because I ran out os Sats! Once I can get OBS working with my own server without crashing I'll be able to stream without checking a balance.

Thank you to everyone that listened. Much appreciated! Till next time... cheers :)


No worries, I'm wrapping up soon, got to go to work, thanks for listening though!!!

Will keep trying haha

Test Press Tuesday


Going live shortly with Test Press Tuesday.

Playing a bunch of test presses, work I’ve done over the years.

Lot’s of On U Sound, expect some Horace Andy, African Head Charge, Jeb Loy Nichols as well as some Soundmakers.

Maybe some technicals, been getting lost in many issues with my server but the only way for me to fix it is to do it.

With luck you can stream at video.mxxthxw.art, my own domain. Alternatively you can catch me on https://zap.stream/

Fucking typos! Damn I wish I could edit on here.


Today as Assange appears to be free, I’m thinking about my uncle, former FT and Guardian Muddle East correspondent who was sacked under orders of the US state department for trying to report the truth in the Middle East.

We’re all cunts somehow, no one is perfect but war crimes are war crimes and should be reported. The US and UK murdered around 250,000 innocent Iraqi people. Think about that for a minute.

RIP Gareth, I love you and think about you every day.


He eats so we don’t have to…


Thanks :)


And it’s ’well I freed Assange’ if Trump uses Ulbrict for political capital.

I mean I’ll take the win, I just wish it wasn’t all so cynical.


Hot take... Assange is only being freed now as an attempt to make the Biden administration look as is they care about basic human rights.


Seriously trying not to bring the vibe down. I’m way less mentally stable than a lot of the folks here.

Good morning.


When Assange is actually home and has had the chance to adjust to normal life after being treated so inhumanly, I seriously hope there’s a fat cheque coming to him from the UK state via the courts.

What they did to him was disgusting.


Still got to fly into US territory, I don’t trust that at all. Will celebrate when he’s HOME.

At least he’s out of high security in fucking Bellmarsh though!

The english government is disgusting.


What you putting on? I’m pretty prompt with tech riders…


Filling out stadiums wherever he went?


Waking up to news Assange is free, hope that’s true. Him being flown to US territory worries me though, I don’t have any trust in them.

Fingers crossed he’s really free.


Plus why worry with all the stress of buying land when you can just steal it?


ngmi


Interesting take… I certainly expect the likes of Universal and Spotify to rinse AI as much as possible.

A&R and artists have always been a hastle to record execs, especially if they ever have ‘feelings’ or ‘principles’.

Crush these companies, then rinse the tech. Classic.


Nice!


Universal have very deep pockets…


I like the general direction of the line. Do you have a youtube or telegram group?


Politicians gonna politician.


Love the way he adds a different depth to it.


This version though… https://youtu.be/i4_atsdJDcQ?feature=shared


Agreed. Doesn’t even take a billionaire takeover, it could be some over worked, under appreciated techie charged with doing the necessary security patches. Worse still, the company could just use Windows.

Any which way, the data isn’t safe and to claim they care, whilst gathering as much data as possible just makes me think they’re cunts.


Long time since I’ve been there but a great city, enjoy!

LOL I just got an email from The Orange Pill App saying...

"Here's our pledge to you:

    We will never track or sell your data 🙅♂"

Their privacy policy literally collects everything about you. Even if they mean this sincerely, the chances of that data being leaked is pretty high. Anyone with a Ledger can tell you how much fun that is...

The safest way to protect data is not to collect it in the first place.

Should anyone from there see this, just don't collect so much data with the app, we all win.


There’s a car outside.


I just chill with Larry Fink and we print our own corn.

So the Orange Pill app wants to collect a tonne of data to look at their app? Seems pretty antithetical to the vibe, especially seeing how they advertise how important privacy is for digital code enthusiasts.

That's a no from me. Any other good resources for meet ups? Have already signed up with meetup.com

# New To Nostr?

Nostr, It's the future of social media where payments and connections collide!

Imagine your favorite app had a baby with CashApp, and that baby discovered magic shrooms that unlocked superpowers... that's Nostr in a nutshell.

What kind of superpowers?

• Zaps! Like a comment? Zap the creator for a micropayment! Get a like? Cha-ching! Love a meme? Zzzzappp!

• Love goes both ways! Share valuable content? Boom! Get zapped back in appreciation.

Payments are optional! Stick to likes if you prefer.

Forget walled gardens! Nostr isn't one app, it's a protocol. Every Nostr app strengthens the network, like a raging Hulk! These apps can all talk to each other, sharing a giant digital peanut butter jar... okay, maybe not a jar, but you get the idea!

Nostr is the new internet! Any compatible app can connect, instantly accessing a massive user base. Forget building an audience, it's already there! This is an entrepreneur's dream come true!

Nostr isn't just Twitter clones! It's a platform for everything from music to adult content, and the creator economy is just the tip of the iceberg.

There's just one catch: We need you!

Developers, designers, content creators, everyone! Help build the future of social media and enjoy the ride! Will you be part of it?

Here's the boring, but important stuff:

• Censorship resistant & open-source! No one company controls it.

• No emails, no overlords, no de-platforming, no ads shoved down your throat.

We call it a paradigm shift, but on Nostr, it's just another day! Oh, and we have NIPs (Nostr Implementation Possibilities) - but that's a story for another time.

Ready to join the party? Grab a client app like Damus (iOS), Amethyst (Android), Iris or Snort (web) and dive in!

Exploring a new frontier means things might be a bit rough around the edges, but the potential is limitless!

Join the Nostr revolution today!


Ahh, nice one.

I do like Mondays…. But it’s because I don’t have work as such. I call it an ‘admin day’ but if there’s no admin I use it to get into whatever project I’m into. As it’s Monday, no one can disturb me while I do that.

That said, sometimes I actually do have admin and that sucks.

Hope you have a good one regardless!


Choose wisely the LN wallets you want to use, based on their specific use case and your personal needs:

True, it’s a shame… I like both platforms.


I’m a big Fedi fan, been there since 2019. Nostr creates some interesting possibilities for Indie artists but a lot of Fedi folks see Bitcoin and crypto as the same shitty scam.

I hope both platforms learn from each other…

I don’t really care about BlueSky and Threads though, I’ve no interest in the corporate internet.


I’m going to test out getting zaps on my PeerTube instance this week. If I can achieve that, then I’ll be streaming from my own domain too.

I think there’s still some potential issues to iron out but there’s options now. A lot of musicians I know online are no longer releasing on Spotify. It’s good to know DIY options exist again.


The candidate who is the best public speaker has a speech impediment and a parasite ate his brain. Truly clown world.


Never build your house on anyone else's land. Never build your platform on anyone else's servers. Own your own domain(s). Leverage privacy-first communication protocols, both online and off. Host your own media. Disseminate your message on your own terms. Be truly sovereign.

#cybersecgirl


Damn, sorry about all the typos!


Cory Doctrow on music streaming. For us music makers, its a grim read but we know tge situation very well. For mudic fzns, please read and take note.

Ultimately a big reason I’m here, I run my own servers and have stopped releasing to stresming platforms.

It’s time to fight back.

Added some more designs for the Redbubble shop.

There's 3 collections to choose from.

Firstly there's a load of Liotia swag, designed by the brilliant Maple Tea Press.

Then some INPC bits and bobs to brighten up you life.

Finally the Word Up collection let's you tell people what time it is with the Rassclart! and 4x4= Bellend funky fonts.

I don't mind that stuff... But Excel!?!? Fuck that guy!


As promised...

This one's a banger! Bizzy B is a legend of Drum and Bass and as this tape fully demonstrates, he was there since day...

These tracks got me so hyped back then. No one down my way was up on the ruffneck drum and bass sounds. Luckily I got quite a few of the Brain Records tracks on vinyl (some on white label) thanks to Joel at Pryme Tyme in Lewisham.

I was getting some DJ sets at this point and would confuse the hell out of people when I played stuff like this. Fuck them! n00bs lol.

Recorded in John Fisher Street, Wapping, East London, summer 1992.

PoW


I call this the Wu Tang


It's kind of concerning to be honest.

For example,  the major BINANCE  hack that saw like $320m of BTC being stolen. This *can* be traced on the blockchain, because it's transparent and records all txns.

Thus, if somehow, you ended up with *some* 'dirty' bitcoins, and you tried to move it to a CEX like Coinbase,  then it's highly likely those "coins" would be sanctioned on arrival.

Unlike money, BTC carries its history.

For Jungle heads... Uploading a Bizzy B set from early 1993 (or possibly late 1992) from Impact FM.

Brain Records were killing it then!

Or garlic, chilli and ginger. A power trio for sure.


I see a lot of posts comparing Nostr to the early web, there’s were similar posts on the Fediverse. Maybe the future is just more smaller, niche communities again instead of big platforms? The Fedi will attract folks for one set of principles, Nostr for another and maybe of platforms emerge?

I’d quite like that, I just don’t want to be on corporate vibes anywhere, be that Meta, LinkedIn or BlueSky, it’s not for me.

Interesting… I’ll look into it.


Apparently no one had children until they invented Bitcoin. Mental.


Where they freeze me after death or I cry about it? Not heard of that before… a friend recommended oil pulling but it didn’t really work.

Open to ideas though. Fucking horrible when I get these nights.


A small device that fits under my nose. I tried a bunch of others but they’re so big and noisy I can’t sleep.


I have one, this morning it wasn’t helping. I’d possibly twisted up or blocked it somehow in my sleep.


Same but sometimes the mask doesn’t work or I twist up the tube in my sleep. That’s what happened this morning, I took the mask off but then was slipping in and out of sleep. I thought I was awake but then would be trapped in a horrible dream with my body literally trying to kill me. Fun!


I thought it said sexiest anti Bitcoin campaign. I was disappointed.


Sleep apnea/asphyxiation dreams are the worst.  They’re like Nightmare On Elm Street except you really can’t breathe.

Fucking horrible.

Oh yeah, morning.

#chatcontrol

If the chat control only applied to politicians and bureaucrats, it would make sense. You are so called public servant, you should be transparent with everything. But nooo, of course the public servants want privacy for themselves. Not only now. Remember Ursula's SMS messages with Phizer's Bourla? Deleted, nothing to see here plebs!

No mainstream media (in Czech Republic) reported on this round of proposals/voting. Not even today. Only the so called "far-right" and "tech" media covered it. It's funny that one of the article (released today, on the day of the vote) is paywalled. Shows how seriously these people take this attack on basic privacy and cryptography.


On yesterday’s rumor debacle, it’s an interesting reflection of what corporate/mainstream platforms like X elevate. Take Jacobin and The New Statesman, who are both generally considered credible but who ran Noam’s obituaries yesterday without first verifying if he had actually died. This plus millions of tweets blew up in a fake news explosion.
Both publications gave into pressure to be first, be shocking, and therefore be the most viral over prioritizing journalistic rigor. This is a demonstration of how the media ecosystem pressures publications to seek virality over trust in a systemic way. It’s only logical that if you want to survive and thrive as a publication or journalist, you will respond to the pressure that this structure applies. So though it’s no excuse, we can understand how it happened.
But as users/consumers of media, this does not serve us well at all.
Hence why we here and at nostr:npub1xm0rvnpw52nh7tk59ntly55w74rmd2cqvt3kg5zxrzz3rlssvspsk0gs6s are supporters of nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 , nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch , and all who are working to revolutionize a true people’s media via liberatory platforms and structures.

Dude where’s my privacy…

Ah the Catholic Church still going strong then.

I forgot which user said about no wallet at all but I have a steel plate to handle the storage now. I still have and use a Coldcard along with Sparrow on the computer, it seems a fairly solid choice from what I heard from podcasts etc. but I must admit, the build quality of these devices bothers me.

The hardware wallet is really just a signing device to authorise transactions. The key thing really is protecting the seed phrase above all else.


Doesn’t he play football for Spain?


I saw a post that resonated with me… you don’t need a fancy wallet, just a means of safely and securely storing 24 words, a fancy USB device is unnecessary.

As someone doxxed by Ledger and with a broken Coldcard in the drawer it was certainly food for thought.


Hello Kristin, I eat all sorts but do my best to avoid sugar and processed foods. Nice to meet you.


No problem, there were some very ‘credible sources’ reporting it, not some nym on X. I wonder how this sort of news filters in?

Wishing Mr Chomsky well.


There really should be a fork of the internet. I know the ‘dark web’ exists etc. I mean a regular internet but with fuck all emails about g99gle SEO and walled gardens of Babylon.

I know some folks have been doing Indie Web for years and Nostr has potential for indies to create income. I’m saying this stuff here because I’m searching for ideas that will work with my skill set.

Peertube, the Fediverse also exist. There’s a lot more to it than just Mastodon. It’s a different mindset and I’m totally cool with that. I have good friends there!

I want to make mutuals where we can help each other. Maybe what I do can help? Maybe you can help me?

I’m not sitting around waiting on some magical NGU tech to make it happen. I like tinkering with stuff and I don’t mix well with a corporate mind set. I’m certainly not a finance person!

I’m rambling at this point but I’m searching for something.

Anyways, best of luck with whatever YOU have in store today. Indie is where it’s at. Your domain, your data, your creativity. Burn down spiritual vampires and Babylon! Enjoy yourselves :)

Chat Control is an unprecedented attack on privacy and encryption, trying to turn your device into an automated mass surveillance tool. Automated scanning of private communications even before they are sent.

Last day of our little break, it’s my other half’s birthday so taking her out for dinner and whatever else she’d like to do.

Been great to retune the brain. When I return I aim to nail PeerTube streaming. There’s possible issues with my router to resolve and maybe that involves changing provider but the mission to maintain independence and digital autonomy will continue.

Onwards and upwards!


Sitting down for a piss is where it’s at.


I’ve had some nice boosts for my comments about the music industry, less so for my actual music (which takes significant time to produce).

One issue with posting music online is it’s disruptive to the environment of the person seeing the post, more so than visual arts so most song posts get no interaction unless it’s something people already know. That’s been the case on all platforms with the exception of perhaps MySpace.

It’s early days and I honestly don’t know but so far not seen much click bait or rage inducing content. I’m willing to bet experiment with a few things, I’m streaming my own ‘radio’ once I return from holiday and keeping an open mind to adapt as things become clearer about how people use the platform.


You too!

The EU is trying to impliment a plan to use AI to scan and report all private encrypted communication. This is insane and breaks the fundamental concepts of privacy and end to end encryption.

So sorry! Wow I thought I could at least trust news sources on something like this. A lot of people been taken for a ride.


#introduction

Chomsky once said: “We shouldn't be looking for heroes, we should be looking for good ideas… All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.”

We’ll be sharing Chomsky’s wisdom and related work, not to engage in hero-worship, but to support and inspire all of you here at nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch  with ideas. Through participation in this project, we’re building revolution together. ✊

Hot take- it’s not self custodial lighting if you’re using a phone app and an LSP. Even if the node is in the phone.

When you havent opened the app in six months, and the app can’t look back on the chain far enough because it’s a pruned node, and you want to force close your channel but it can’t sync, rugged.

It is a good thing to expose yourself to people who think different from you. It allows you the reflect on your ideas and not get stuck inside your own head. However comforting it is to be surrounded by people who you consider your peers, be careful not to be surrounded only by echoes.


I was considering the Start 9 but being on a RasPi I thought it might be too much… let’s see how I get on with the Umbrel second time around.


If you are receiving a lot of electoral paper that you do not want to see, you can #compost this instead of sending it to the landfills.

Just make sure that the paper can be composted.

Existential dread?


Calling all #Bitcoin meetup organizers! We're planning something for B24 in Nashville - if your meetup would like to be a part of it please connect with me!


Great to meet you all, cheers Nos!


Ahh man not good to read, I’ve literally just got back and forth between the two and went away re-upping Umbrel again as I realised RasPiBlitz will take months to sync.


Sounds like the idea they had was to make something called a computer.

I think others may have beat them to it…


Hence asking the question here. I can think through a number of scenarios and simple things such as using a trusted venue where I know the staff but if my work has taught me anything, it’s that often the dumbest shit is what kicks your ass!

I’ve noticed a couple of people here that organise meets so I’ll be dropping them a message too.


And now on the Nature Channel…

Will do!


Not really an option in my country. Well I guess it is technically but a strong probability of ending up in jail!


Exactly, I feel safe in my area with locals, I avoid the town centre Friday and Saturday nights but it’s a very safe place to live. I have a couple of pals local who own a bit of ‘crypto’ (I know, I know…) so they could be up for coming along but I really just want to network around corn specifically.

I’m away from home at the moment but I’ve strongly believed in being the change I want to see, which is why I run my own server, Fediverse instances etc. despite being unable to code.

It would be great to build a IRL network to trade skills with and attempt some kind of circular economy. Everything starts out small right?


Does anyone on #nostr have an alby invite I could use please? 🥺 Thank you.

 If you can’t beat them, join them. 😅


Contemplating starting a meet in my area. It’s a small town, quite far from any city.

I have a couple of nice places in mind. My main concern is basic opsec. Sitting in a bar I know, on my own and asking for strangers to join me sounds plausible but also risky. I’m super small time so a $5 wrench attack is unlikely to cover the cost of the wrench but still…

Anyone started such a thing from absolute ground zero?


Eh yo! Good morning to you too.

I try to live in the 1980s when phones didn’t report every move to the Po Po.


Fair enough, I watched the video, thanks for the explanation, admittedly most of it went over my head but I think I got the gist.

I hope my VPN works as expected, it seems a popular choice with the more security focussed people I follow.

I go from the baseline that there’s very little security on any network. Good to know the tools that can at least minimise risks. Cheers!


Oh I know this one! Stickers and a portable telephone.


Out of curiosity, where did it say? Would be good to know if this VPN works.


Once you discover I’m on the toilet, how does it feel?


Ah this guy has been to my house!


Good morning!


If you work in the NHS on their Windows 95 systems, please update the security patches x


Two more days left in this wonderful environment. No plan for the day yet, the mountain spring plan didn’t go so well so I think we should ignore the travel guide.

Maybe  just venture out and see what we chance upon? I’m going to absorb and store as much good vibe as I can.

A lot to do once I get home but for now reeeelllllllaaaaaaxxxxx.


Mad respect for nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c

Coffee in southern Spain! Enjoying the last couple of days before I head back home.

Good night sir!


Goodnight, sleep well!


Hello! What’s happening in your part of the world?


Agreed. However, If people continue to be themselves and post about things that interest them, especially if, shudder the thought, it’s not btc related, the platform should grow organically.

Feels like I’ve been here before with the Fediverse. For 3 years it felt much like this. Then Elno bought X and the TL went nuts!

Maybe the future of social media is more platforms based around niche interests? That’s a win as far as I’m concerned.

Weird if people are like this over a 5% dip.


I haven’t gone anywhere. Things go up, things go down.

Maybe as a lot of folks are keen to maintain an air of calm positivity and don’t want people to know sometimes they get down or pissed off about things?

Idk to be honest.


Sounds sensible!


The best thing about Nostr is having no clue at all what devs are on about.

I love a bit of mystery.

If you like it, give it a boost or a zap. I you don’t like it, I promise not to put a hex on you and all your descendants. It’s totally cool :)

I’m doing my thing. It will take a while, I’m a bit slow but I’ll get there!


To be honest, I see zaps (or other p2p micro payment) as a last chance saloon for independent musicians making music outside of the mainstream. AI will destroy much of the income streams from TV/Library music etc. Streaming is a joke and gigging is tough!

I don’t support putting music on platforms that show such disregard for craft.

Do I pivot into a different industry is a question I constantly ask myself but I get so much joy from the process. Working with great musicians is an incredible feeling and I’ve helped create records I’m very proud of.

To me self sovereign means way more than having a Coldcard. It’s agency over what I create and what I do.

If it all goes tits up, at least I tried.


Giving a try to 6 speakers with Morten new unreleased sound (he's a producer).... 2 out of 6 are good...

There used to be a comedy duo called Little and Large. I see they’re back!


Ah thank you, will try!


With you meaning him.


Took quite a few attempts! Was hoping to catch one mid flight but they all came out blurry.


After you then boss.


Don’t forget to RSVP and support our musician nostriches!!!!! Did I just RSVP….. 👀 nostr:note1z4l3j6z72wdh8gfyte0qyv328mml8g8nvcspggvn9ktfntymq73q89f0pr


So we drove for 2 hours down a dirt track, clearing boulders in our path to visit a mountain spring that was totally dry. Fun drive though, did my best to not die, which as you can see, is mission accomplished.

Isn’t it just, there’s one at work, very cool box!


What if he was the spook all along?


True indeed.


I’m not particularly keen on logos full stop although I have a lot of band t-shirts… one of the perks being a sound engineer, any free t-shirt is good.


I had the same experience when I quit everywhere and joined the Fediverse in 2019. Social media without corporations deciding what’s important is more natural and human. I’m not sure if it’s the smaller community element I prefer. I’ve been using this place as the Fediverse has grown significantly since 2022.

I sometimes wonder how zaps will affect things when the platform is bigger. At this scale, it works nicely.


Indeed and now I have a secure place to live and work. More important than anything.


Forgetful man sounds like solid sleep material, off into the land of dreams before he manages to get a sentence out.

I wonder how bad he’ll get before they put him out of his misery?


There’s a game called Bowlingo, like mini ten pin bowling with a smaller ball, you can really get some power into it. A more elegant way to handle primaries.


People can be too keen to implant their ways of thinking on others. I sold a large chuck exactly at the bottom. I knew it was the bottom and it was frustrating as hell but the choice was between that and having somewhere to live.

I save so I can cover my arse in a crisis.


Solid work. Maybe instead of voting what about a painting competition? Would remove a lot of bullshit.


Hail up the Sherman too.


Good morning, I think I peaked with yesterday’s good morning greeting but I’ve got another 24 hours till the next one so hope this will do.


Especially in the wake of Samurai.


Earth without tea would be hr


Agreed.


A lot of people have said eh at my creations to be honest.

I like it.
