BONUS ROUND!

Been doing some system tweaks so I'm gonna play some records on the stream for a bit. Not sure how long but if you like old electronic bleeps, breaks, sub bass and vibe come and say hello! :Airhorn:

This is the Bass Breaks and Bleeps Bonus Round!

It’s easier for Drake to give away a tonne of content because he has a whole army working for him (well his label do). Filming gigs costs money, unless you have the time (and money) to invest in camera equipmrnt and the tools to capture high quality audio. It all costs and most musicians are seriously struggling as independents.

Perhaps if there was funding in the same way get devs get, that could work. Indie labels used to do that development work but most of those go under as they can’t compete.

I totally appreciate the sentiment and a lot of artists are really trying to do stuff and reach an audience.


Getting people to switch from corporate social media is hard!!!!

Time and time again we see people taken for absolute suckers on these platforms, as last weeks riots in the uk clearly demonstrated.

All that action was a total manipulation of the populous, taking a horrific event and using it for political power plays. The first publication to propagate the lies about the murderer appear to trace back to Austin, Texas and its quite likely AI generated, very few humans seem to be involved.

I know loads of activists local and they’re all still in these bullshit platforms getting their brains twisted while thinking they’re doing the right thing dancing to some bellend’s tune.

Using the platforms only brings revenue to exactly the people who want to destabilise for personal gain, setting groups against each other while chatting some shit about ‘decentralisation’ and the public square. It’s a total myth.

Feeling a bit frustrated right now, it’s cool though, I’m gonna make funny noises in my shed and do something worthwhile for a bit.


Oh wow. Reading between the lines sounds like he's having a rough time. I don't know him but hope he gets his head straight.


Sorry the stream was jumpy again this morning! Currently in high level talks with the wife about switching ISP.

I have work to do...


Mirning sir!

Kali mera!

Today we're going up the Magic Mountain courtesy of War but from then on it's a mystery pick from yesterday's journey up into the attic, expect crackles, me saying the odd thing in a slightly stumbly manner and a whole bunch of fantastic music!

Who rage quit?


Good morning Nostrington McNostr 🫵🏽


Now that’s a challenge I can do!

Hand me the codeine…


I’m sad that I’ll never get as many SATs as your poo tbh.


It’s possible that it’s because they make more money from product placement deals, than streaming music which is sad if true but it’s a small win so I’ll take it.


My bad, there's been one arrest in Portsmouth...


We have a small gift for you today: over the past 8 months, we've been building an icon library for various decentralized social platforms and protocols within the space. It's an ongoing effort, and we're happy to release our initial version today. It's like Font Awesome, but for the Social Web!

https://wedistribute.org/2024/08/decentralized-social-icons/


To add on, who the hell cares about X anyway? That's not the vibe at all. The misnaming of the attacker came from a apparently popular 'social commentator' on X and the message propagated via the usual suspects, notably politicians who've used division for personal gain for over a decade now.

Why did they do this? Because they're incentivised to do so.

Should X be banned? Of course not.

Should people use it? lol depends how much they're into free speech...


Mental, the propaganda brigade from X has arrived lol.

UK very peaceful tonight, turns out most people don't really like thugs setting fire to Holiday Inns or smashing up Indie shops.

Not heard anyone calling for X to be banned at all. I still maintain it's a shit website though.

Love it when people reveal themselves.


You’re both wrong.


Nice!


Interesting to note on the class issue with the riots in the UK.

The first people to propagate disinformation about the attacker weren’t working class, they were all well to do middle class folks with big followings on X.

X lol.

If burning down the town square is your kind of thing check out X!


Is this AI? Looks rubbish.


So is trumpet your instrument?


Indeed, who wants shitty clean sound anyways?!?


I ventured into the attic to grab one or two records… came down with this little bundle.

My other half maybe out this evening so there coupd be a bonus round stream!

Not sure on the theme, grabbed a bunch of bleeps, some funk, jazz and other random bits. Haven’t ventured into the Hip Hop section yet so that to come…

These are some of the earlier records I bought so expect plenty of crackle and maybe the odd abort but that’s half the fun right?

Yeah I think so, also people pour their heart and soul into albums, it can be your whole identity when making. You have to believe you’re doing something better than before somehow imo.


On its way to The Vatican now!


Thanks Pre,

With Zap.Stream users can zap directly from the chat of the platform and it feels like a smooth process. I thought is I could achieve that in Owncast it would be amazing. I certainly don't want people needing to hook their wallet up to me, that sounds like the opposite of what people should be doing.

The QR option sounds good, I could put that up as an optional tipping function every 10 mins in the chat or something. So long as the payment amount is optional.

I still feel there's a massive cultural difference between Fedi and here and I know just the mention of SATs over there will piss a lot of people off but it does offer a neat solution for independent internet use. It was after all meant as a currency for the internet. I haven't had a proper lightning set up since I moved and I don't really have the funds to set up a bunch of liquid channels or at least, it doesn't make sense doing so while we're talking about pennies in value.

I can probably raise the invoices in Alby. Thanks for the help, you're always coming to the rescue!


That's cool, I login there and SATs and settings carry over from Zap Stream! I'll use that tomorrow...


Thank you, I need to check out Tunestr.io still.


Some thoughts on streaming...

Today was really cool, I broadcast on my Owncast server and Zap Stream, I had returning listeners and a lovely vibe in the chat. Loved it! There's a saying in music, you're only as good as your last gig and it's very true and deeply ingrained into my way of thinking. Return listeners is a big win for me.

What hasn't worked so well, for me at least is Zap Stream. Not to throw shade but it's been less reliable and the drop off rate is higher. Now this could just be people not digging it the music or me and that's totally cool. I've set out to play niche music, on niche platforms, it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea but I want to focus on a platform that I can control.

...a  bit of backstory. What got me hooked on the Indie Web (Fediverse/Nostr etc.) is ownership of data, I run my own server and node for a variety of services, my interactions with big tech are minimal, I ditched major platforms in 2019, no LinkedIn, no Facebacon, X or any other corporate shit that treats me like a factory cow, sucking me dry whilst doing some pretty dark stuff to manipulate emotions for profit. If my data is so valuable then I want money much more than I want arguments with random people about today's hot topic. Running a show on my own server gives me total control and if I don't have use third party services, it's cheaper to maintain. However, I'm also not particularly smart.

I wish to continue using just my own server. However, then there's the question of Value 4 Value, a defining part of the culture here and a concept I like a lot. It's honest, the accounting is true and if I earn a bunch of SATs for my time wicked! If I don't, ok I am doing a sad, but I know exactly where I stand.

I'm wondering how to integrate Zaps with Owncast? I'm not a coder. I try my best with Linux and Command Line, I'm so far behind what is required to make this happen on my own and time is big factor. This is a side hustle on my existing work. I'm using Yunohost, a super simple Debian set up with most command line abstracted away.

My dream is to incorporate zaps into my Owncast stream. Imagine that! My server, zapping direct to a wallet I control! There was a plugin for PeerTube but I was plagued with technical problems and I gave up. I don't now if it was the plugin or PeerTube itself but now Owncast is stable, I want to stick with it.

Is there a way I can *simply* integrate zaps into Owncast? Any pointers would be excellent!

Appreciate this is a long post so if you got this far, thank you!

Nice, it’s weird doing music, I often have podcasts playing. Sort of helps to have some human voices pace things a bit.


What are your go to sounds?


What happens if Open Mike Eagle also appears. Does it open a portal to another dimension?


Morning!


Like the Fediverse but mint flavour?


To be fair there should be a lot of war as well…


Aww bless, does he/she have a name?


How much did it weigh?


Maybe they could try Superduper Money next?


He owns it, a system with an owner isn’t free and open. Even if the code is open source, who makes the call on what updates happen.

It’s not a universal good, it’s a crap website. Bit like MySpace but with no HTML sparkles.

Out of curiosity, why are you so into X?


At least she has a sense of humour…


Gaslighting lol


Give Elno control of all the things? Hello no.


Small boats has strong meme value in the UK due to the Dunkirk Rescue in WW2, Little Englander types love it! Rubber dinghies is more accurate.

https://time.com/4864460/dunkirk-evacuation-photos/


The context being that the news for the last couple of years has been about the multitude of 'small boats' arriving on the South East coast. However, the reality of the South East coast is very different to what's reported. Migrants typically arrive on rubber dinghies, these are vastly different types of craft, way flimsier and dangerous than traveling on small boat. There's been quite a few deaths in the channel, barely reported. Each boat carries around 30 people on crafts designed for approximately 10 passengers.

Notable media outlets, politicians and football hooligans gaining significant reach on platforms like X, Tik Tok and YouTube amping up hostility. I curious where they're getting the funding for that reach? Being a football hooligan isn't exactly an earner. Does anyone still believe in organic reach on these platforms?

Now idiots draped in flags are running around setting fire to hotels, Mosques and independent shops because brown people.

At least folks are revealing themselves. The upside of free speech.


Also it’s important that hodl bloke has people he can moan about online..


It’s funny, you’d think in an island with a long sea faring history such as england people would know the difference between a rubber dinghy and a small boat? Well apparently not.

Vast swathes of the country losing their shit over a few rubber dinghies and some unrelated Welsh bloke. Weird.


Morning Robert, have a great day!


No, my point is there’s groups of thugs smashing up peoples’ shops, setting fire to hotels and mosques because some Welsh dude murdered some kids.

It has bugger all to do with Rotherham, unless you think it’s the skin colour responsible for the murder of those kids?

I disagree with that notion. The Rotherham situation was disgusting, the murders are absolutely heartbreaking. But they are two different crimes.

I’m not scared of people in rubber dinghies and they’re not responsible for any problems I’m facing in life.


But no one went and set fire to Radio Norwich or tge lical hospital. Why?


“Statistics don’t lie”

*Citation needed. It’s weird, so much dialogue in this part of the world about how statistics can be manipulated to suit any narrative, however when it conforms to existing biases it’s suddenly totally reliable?

People came out in their thousands to Jimmy Saville’s funeral procession. Why not burn down the BBC? They also helped cover incidents up.

Paedophillia is one of humanity’s sickest crimes but to put it all down to a single racial group is all a bit, well you know…


lol


Your language suggests otherwise.... You know nothing about me. You know they're humans right? If anger is an issue maybe stay away from X for a bit? It's got you fully amped.

Go against your programming.


Meanwhile Jimmy Saville had full access to government etc. Or maybe you prefer Gary Glitter or Rolf Harris... Paedos come in all colours, I don't get how this translates as set fire to Mosques and a Holiday Inn?


Who's the one getting angry? I'm calm and reasoned here. For the record, my attitude has exactly zero impact on your life outcomes. Chill!


It's ok, tell us where the brown person touched you and we can go from there....


So when Farage, Yaxley Lennon et all get huge reach and massive boosts on YouTube, you don't think funding's involved? Sure, we know a lot of people in the UK don't like brown people, that's very evident but there's folks very keen to capitalise on the chaos.

The fact you're seeing this mostly on X and Tik Tok says a lot. Organic reach is a myth on those platforms.


Haha! Seen the footage on X and Tik Tok... I thought you knew how money works.


Wicked, welcome aboard!

Kali Mera! Doing an early stream, this morning 6am UTC. Kicking off with Ian Carr's Nucleus. Not to be confused with Alan Carr Chatty Man, the album Roots is wicked and not annoying like Alan. As per usual, I haven't planned past that, will be where the vibe takes me but I have a bunch of Jazz, Prog, Indie Rap and Reggae records around me so it'll be in that frequency.

Come and say hi in the chat. I'll be putting in a solid hour before work!

What about the Trump Flump though?

Hmm there’s a number of journalists and activists across the globe that would disagree. I shouldn’t need to provide examples at this stage, it’s been going on a while.

Appreciate you use this platform but anyone saying X is the free speech platform and isn’t looking for an alerts clearly LARPing.


Using X just perpetuates the idea that free speech is a funny meme.

Free speech, so long as Elno likes it, isn't worth defending.


Ok... you spelt phew wrong then.

Hello!


So I think I’ve got the streaming much better now, without the technical problems but the zaps and chat have dried up.

Very open to feedback, I know I’m just a man sharing a love of music so I’m never going to be Mr Beast but any pointers welcome.


No zaps for this morning’s stream. Admittedly I’m playing niche music in an odd time zone but early doors things were better.

Morning!


The current riots are mostly attacking targets based on race.

Fucking bellends.


Sorry 2012….

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FtlClKUu25c&pp=ygUNY3JveWRvbiByaW90cw%3D%3D


The UK out all its eggs in the finance sector. Sounds like a foolish move.


The 2014 riots were way more interesting than these tbh.

Blackberries were popping off.


No, recent events have amped up tensions and greed a number of grifters making careers for themselves on X.

I’m curious how those peoples visibility is funded though.


Nooooooo


I’ll let someone do that scene, I’m just not pink and gammony enough.


It’s a solid theory, I dig it.


One of them is dead, no news on the other one…


Stupid cunts.


It’s raining data out here…


True story. Streaming is for n00bs.


Stephen Yaxley Lennon is a bellend. I wonder where he gets his funding from?


They can take our trees but they can’t take our freedom.


Biebcoin


Compare his 70s music to his late 80s and beyond…


Phil Collins circa 1974. Definitely not post 1984 Phil Collins though. That’s a whole different vibe.


Yes, if there’s a way of forming that into something less crude to ask, it would be appreciated!


Good morning!


Ok I’m late to the party but imagine standing in Belfast waving a Union Jack flag and shouting immigrants go home.

Stupid cunts.


There’s a lot of activity in amplifying shit on YouTube, lots of videos of lions draped in British flags etc.

Someone’s funding visibility of this. YT doesn’t give bog standard ingerland types reach typically.


There’s around 2500 records dotted around the house, maybe 500 of which are downstairs but the majority are in the loft due to space considerations.

The shed is small, in practical terms, I can probably keep no more than 50 in there.

Looks like climbing up and down into the loft will be part of my exercise regime in future.


Agreed.


Why do ‘libertarians’ seeking power blindly support land theft in the Middle East?


Nice, I’m gonna hand round near Curry’s and see if I can nab a new TV…

Israel has wanted this war for many years, they just want to ensure the USA does all the heavy lifting.


What if I hid in your cupboard when you weren’t looking and jumped out in the middle off the night shouting “boo!”?


But circular economy!

Gm, everybody who's barely smart enough can be edgy. That's like level 1 of being smart. Edgy people are rarely as impressive as they think.

The hard part is being kind, collaborative, and to use your smartness to support people and to be a an actually nice person. That's what's impressive.


Yeah I often have problems with 12ft. .ph seems most reliable, despite the Cloudflare annoyance.


How so?

But Tucker Carlson said I should use DJTJR coin and there's a really good Telegram community offering trading advice.


*Citation needed.


I’m still a big fan of salt, not the crypto, just the mineral. Everyday I can go to the sea, grab some water, boil it then I have a wallet full of salt for the day.


And thanks to you for the advice! 😃


Shouldn’t X be Koolaid?


That sounds realistic. It’s hard to asses experientially as it’s beyond human lifetime.

So you think we’re in the last 15? 2020 could well be the starting point…

Buckle up!


Are we at the suddenly point yet though? Even though there’s some riots, we had those in 2014 too and still nothing quite like the early 80s.

This current batch seem social media related with a bunch of absolute bellends popping up from around the country to kick off because they don’t like brown people, as opposed to more historic riots made up of more local participants.

I dunno, I don’t have an account on X nor watch the news so I’m probably not the most reliable source… Then again, I’m probably in a better, less biased  position because I don’t have an account on X or watch the news.


But then the view can still be distorted by the algorithm, amplifying issues that are potentially niche but divisive, causing a heap of outrage that ultimately leads to harm in the real world.

Recent events in the UK for example. Take rage baiting out of the equation would we be seeing the violence on the streets we’re seeing now?

Folks are incentivised to create rage and even if a community exits that to you or I are down with, we’re encouraged to amplify the views of people we dislike. Amplifying folks like Farage emboldens the type of bellends we see targeting mosques and little indie shop keepers.


To be honest, if you’re still getting your world view from X, you’re being played like a fool.

Like seriously.


Seems today’s stream was way more stable, I halved the image bit rate but boosted the audio quality in it worked great on Owncast.

Next time I’ll start including Zap Stream, for some reason it didn’t save my server settings today. I’m going to reach out to them to see what’s up.

Anyway, if you want to hear some great music, check the stream out Monday around 8am UTC.

I dunno, the UK’s been in a shit place for a minute now. Long decline post WW1 with blips of uptrend in the 60s and late 80s-90s.

I’m sure there’s a chart somewhere…


I do one day a week with a Youth Charity and we’ve seen this issue close up. There’s some very complicated issues at play here and this kids going through them are in a dark place indeed. Any sign of difference as a teenager can be brutal in terms of bullying etc.

I’m not an expert in these matters by any means but the media version of the issue is very different to what I see in real life.

Resources are stretched to fuck these days.


See that’s where I have a problem with this, some cases seem to be made out to epic proportions but it’s mostly hearsay.

I’m not saying there aren’t edge cases but there are also people looking to make political capital out of kids lives.

If there’s a credible source by all means share it. I think the trans thing has been blown up to epic proportions, particularly on social media. It really is great for engagement, regardless of position… So long as the position is extreme.

I think kids should be protected too. They are very much capable of making poor life choices and they should also be protected from those wanting to make political capital from what can be a very difficult time in life to navigate.

A lot of young people struggle with identity, that’s a huge part of growing up. Some kids will make lousy decisions. Others though will be in therapy in their 40s saying they always knew they were different.

There’s two sides to this coin and kids wellbeing should be at the top of everyone’s consideration.


Apartheid is apartheid, no matter which state is doing it.

The position of US and UK politicians on this is disgusting. Anything for a free lunch.


I’m curious, when you say you’ve heard of this happening, what has been the source?


I just saw someone refer to DEI hires as Donald, Eric and Ivanka.

A did a lol.

Stay tuned for more political analysis.


Good advice, I’ll try dropping the frame rates and see what happens.

My initial settings were on a video saying ‘how the get the best from OBS’ or something like that so they’re probably optimal visual settings. I want the audio quality high, the visuals are way less important. Cheers:)


A few weeks ago we checked in with a couple of the streaming creators in our Creator Residency program.

One of the key takeaways: Nostr is a friendlier place to stream!

Checkout the interview with nostr:npub1rr3678k7ajms2sht0cqqeawy86sdd5ahn6akfj8zex9ng82zuh0sz8nywd a game streamer and nostr:npub1q33jywkl8r0e5g48lvrenxnr3lw59kzrw4e7p0cecslqzwc56eesjymqu0 a dj streamer.

20,000 people in Nashville seemed to think it was really cool…


What, there’s fossilised pelvic bones competing in the Olympic?!?


I don’t like this but on the other hand, I’d like to see Zuckerberg in jail, mostly for the lolz.


Excited to share an interview we did with a couple of the Nos Creator Residents who stream on Nostr.

Having worked on streaming software elsewhere I learned that technology has enabled streamers to single handedly do the work of 10. What used to require videographers, audio engineers, lighting specialists etc is now undertaken by the streamer. It’s quite incredible when you think about it. It’s also the reason Nostr has the potential to change the game for these creators.

Both nostr:npub1rr3678k7ajms2sht0cqqeawy86sdd5ahn6akfj8zex9ng82zuh0sz8nywd and nostr:npub1q33jywkl8r0e5g48lvrenxnr3lw59kzrw4e7p0cecslqzwc56eesjymqu0 are at different stages of their streaming journey but both were excited about the experience streaming on Nostr offers.

Check out the interview and give them a follow! https://www.nos.social/blog/a-friendlier-place-to-stream


Shocking.


“Purchase Mail Essential or accept ads”.

lol no.


The Israeli government use USD exclusively.

My mate Dave bought a bit of weed with Monero once though.


Wasn’t me m8


Indeed. I tend to take the perspective that if Russians are serving us up misinformation then the USA is doing the same on steroids.

It’s a shame really, it’s turned the world pretty shit.


In case you missed it,  nostr:npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2y5g did a great interview with Andy Yen of  nostr:npub18q57qr3t07qljnapzqldaqa7ru2qwfpfnjdrwvhk327n3sc82f0qqwrs6f discussing the design decisions behind Proton Wallet. Check it out:

https://optoutpod.com/episodes/protonwallet-andy-yen/


If there’s any Russians looking for a good account to relay misinformation drop me a DM.

I  do a starter package. 2 memes, 5 shitposts and up to 10 YouTube link shares for just 50,0000 sats per day.


Meh, be the change you want to see.

The noise might be on Twitter but there’s more actual transactions happening here.

Thinking you need X is being in denial.

You can do it!


I’ve given up the naughtiest of things that folks say are highly addictive...

You recognise the problem and that’s a great start, you’ve completed step one. Good luck!


I think it was smoother this morning but still a bit sketchy at the start. I made sure nothing else was online (Nextcloud etc.)

Bandwidth was pretty low once streaming, around 5mbps. Down from 18 pre stream.

We are prone to internet drop outs in my area, I’ve mostly put that down to work being done installing new fibre in the area. Today was definitely an improvement.


Math = 1 sum
Maths = many sums.


Thanks for hoping Tim, much appreciated. Have a great day!


This morning's Kali Mera show will be a celebration of being a weirdo, an outsider and maybe a bit of a bellend. I'm bringing traditional values back to weirdness. No I haven't turned religious nor will I be spinning any DJ Vance. I mean oldschool weird, not politically motivated weird. If someone's a cunt, call them a cunt!

I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo (hey that would make a good song imo).

Anyway, expect some Prog, Soul, Indie Rap, Noise and where ever the spirit guides me this morning.

This will be exclusively on my own server so any zaps will be best served on Nostr.

Can we just round up all the politicians, load them into a rocket ship and launch them into the flaming hot sun?

I think it help Planet Earth’s UX immensely.


Good morning!

Do religion first…


That is amazing!

Because Owncast is on my own server and I also want to broadcast to Fediverse folks and there’s already a decent Owncast community there.

I go to zap stream for the zaps obviously but maybe there’s a better way…


OBS is on a M1 MBP so I think that should be ample but Owncast is on an old ThinkCentre. But the net here is also temperamental but want to investigate all hardware before paying for extra bandwidth..


Still can't get rid of RegionalHodl guy on the TL. I guess it's a bug, not a feature...

The only watch man I clock is Flava Flav. You can fly first class or economy class, if you're truly fly you can fly always.

Man this streaming thing is a challenge! Working out the nitty gritty of upload bandwidth, server, websites not liking Linux etc. also dealing with my own inane stupidity is quite funny. For example, I didn't realise my audio interface was on for half the stream this morning. Derp.

If it's true that you learn from mistakes, I'm wondering why I'm not the world's cleverest motherfucker by now...

Anyway, tomorrow's another day and I don't start my proper job till later in the morning so won't be in such a rush.

Thanks to everyone who popped in, even though you probably got zero fun from the experience. Cheers!

Onward and upwards!


Yeah, that goes to Owncast then the link to Zap.Stream from there.


Hmm zap.stream not working but Owncast is fine... stream.mxtthxw.art


Oh shit, audio was off!!!

Should be on now...


Morning Slayer!


If anyone can let me know how the stream's sounding? Was breaking up a lot yesterday


Hmm is the stream working out here?

The Kali Mera Morning Stream until 08:30 UTC

It’s weird when focus groups settle on a term for political motives. “We surveyed 2000 people and weird scored as particularly effective term to deride people”.

I’ve done lots of weird shit in my life, I’ve been called weird numerous times. The doctors even certified me with weirdness due to my tendency toward autistic behaviour!

Personally I think I’m just some guy y’know, even if I’m not president of the universe.

When an organisation manufactures a political attack based on weirdness it piques my interest.

For the record, I think Trump is a bellend, DJ Vance is a shit selector killing the dance, Ben Shapiro gives off serious twink vibes and finally, I believe it’s a bad idea giving Peter Thiel more power, given his penchant for surveillance and death tech.

I also think we’re all going to hell in a handcart regardless of who leads the forever wars.

I appreciate people are rather invested in the whole spectacle in the USA but propaganda is propaganda, even if it’s your team doing it.

Signed a weirdo.


Hmm just occurred to me that running funny software on a RasPi might also affect streaming. (Yes I am slow).

They’ll be one less node on the network for a short time so if you’re Peter Thiel and want to take over the network now’s your chance…


Morning Dan!


Ok looked into some setting so I'll be trying another stream around 07:30 UTC.

Fingers crossed this will have fewer interruptions. If this doesn't work maybe I need faster interwebs....


I see, well daytime greeeyings to you anyway!

Next update to drop before 8am or there’s trouble.


Morning!


Classic, Guru and Premier were such a dynamite combo.


Good morning


Sorry! Confused with Bitcoin conference, happy for that to be nearby.


Agreed. That’s as far away from me as possible 😂


https://t.co/7g2S9phmoa https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GTwyvkkWsAAgEp9.jpg


Trees are a psyop.


The simplest thing is to have 3 x RasPi, with channels between each other and say 10 large nodes. I’d aim for around 1,000,000 sats per channel and have 2 phones, one on Tor with Zeus and the other, in a different location running Blixt and Graphene OS.

Since I set mine up I haven’t looked back.


They had a great run… Rio is a wicked album, the bass is very tasty. He basically wanted to be Bernard Edward’s from Chic but got his own style along the way.


Hey Stevie! Meow.


All the hype surrounding Papa Smurf at the Olympics opening ceremony, yet I haven’t heard a single comment on his choice of microphone.

Sennheiser MD441. Nice! One of the finest dynamic microphones ever made. Respect.

Yes.

I was big into Duran Duran as a kid but only as far as the first three albums. I got into other stuff as I got older but still have a soft spot for them. Planet Earth is a banger still.

Honkies for Harris sounds better imo.


Bitcoin and politics I'd say, I spend a lot of time on the Fediverse and no one says anything positive about the broader crypto scene, with good reason, most of it has been scams.

Nostr users tend more toward right wing Libertarian view points, Fediverse is more left.


Agreed, I really dig Fediverse stuff but here I get a very different outlook on stuff. Between the two I find a nice balance.


I know... I posted again. What I wouldn't do for an edit button on here!


Sorry looks sketchy!


Is the stream stable that end?


hehe cool, next time I'll explain I'm just on a little musical ride!

Hello, I'm more into cats and music here.


And from an indie web point of view, sounds like the dude is addicted to dopamine.

Looks like I have to cook the dinner so this'll be the last one till next time.


Thank you sir!


Haha! maybe... I mean if there's a way to get a few sats and play music I'm totally down for it!


The story byhind this track is mad, George Clinton said to him I want you to play like you just heard your mother died... Plus I think a lot of acid was consumed in the session. What a result eh!


No, I pretty much stopped DJing once everything went DJing, focused more on doing live sound, got tired of dealing with shady promoters!

Haha yes, some of the stickering I have on records is crazy. This is a great excuse to start going through my collection again, I've about 2000 records in storage that need going through

Wicked, thanks! Yeah I started out as a DJ back in the day, henese why so may records are in bad condition, I was super into scratching but not done so in many years


I only just got the deck back from service as well, but it's cool, much to learn with this all!


haha cheers :)


Yeah lovely work for sure


Hmm no idea how I stop this being so jerky, sorry!

I've just been informed by George the Cat that it's independent Music Maker Sunday.

Whilst I've nothing new to report, I should populate Nostr with some of my own work.

My most regular gig is as one half of Liotia, we make electronica and trip hoppy sounding music with nods to Portishead, Little Dragon and other things people have said at some point. Marketing really isn't my strong point but if this sounds up your strasse, perhaps give it a listen this fine Sunday.

Blessings to you all.

Does anyone remember 2008? Apparently something bad or something happened, I don't know, probably nothing important.

These guys look pretty cool, they wear jeans with suit jackets! I wonder if they'll be my friend?


Russel Brand - "Welcome to the crypto Olympics". lol

Not lasted passed 2 minutes of that. Maybe just rebrand next year as Shittalk 2025?

Grifters gonna grift.


Fair play… I’m currently using Librewolf or Mullvad but having some issues with integration. The browser is the portal to our entire digital lives.

Congrats on giving up g00gle!


Playing with myself.


To be fair I think that’s rambling to most human beings, it doesn’t take some special knowledge to see that.


What browser are you using?


“There’s a lot of good cryptos out there” was my key take away.


Yo!


So having some old bloke rambling on about this or that doesn’t do much for NgU folks.


Good morning from the deepest darkest depths of the shed.

So let me get this straight, to impress Americans you just have to say “America is really, really great”.

Got it, I’ll be sure to bust that lyric next time I’m there.

Bwahaha.

It’s gonna dump imo.


I dunno, probably via some kind of narrative? That’s how they did it in E.T.


Is that the hawk tua girl?


It's the nature of revolution though, if you look at any revolution through history it's always happened, that's part of the fun!

Looking for consensus within a group that prioritises individual freedom and mostly tends to reject any form of collectivism is always going to be a challenge... Unless by revolution you mean NgU?


Gonna be hard topping Trump but maybe a triple bill of Schwab, Dimon and Carstens would bring the numbers in.


For every revolutionary force, there’s a counter revolutionary force. That’s part of what makes revolutions so fun.


Listen to a podcast with some guy freaking out about global depopulation and his opening line is “the price of housing could go to like actual zero”.

Everyone’s got a house then... Cool!

What a funny wee chap, he’s really worried about everyone having a house to live in. If there’s spare houses maybe bears could use them?


Got him a couple of bits. Sadly our local bookshop is closing but I nabbed a few bits in the sale.

Why on a blockchain though? It’s a seriously clumsy way to store that amount of data.

Good morning campers, hi di hi!


In some Nostr posts from a while ago, I vented about how I hate YouTube's algorithm and how it incentivizes people to make sensationalist headlines and images.

Like, I'll do a serious macroeconomic interview with a great and well-informed host, and then when it gets published I see that the headline image is like a picture of the dollar exploding with me smiling next to it, along with a sensationalist text description, for the algo.

I hate that.

So I'm going to aggressively shill an example of the opposite. Someone doing it right. I did an interview the other day with an institutional investor and bitcoiner, who doesn't do that. He has normal headlines, and normal pictures, to talk about serious things. Robert Dewey.

Bob has basically gone out there and told YouTube's algorithm to fuck off. He has a small subscriber base, despite being a more informed interviewer than most, as a gray-hair institutional investor who also gets bitcoin at a really deep level. I've met him in person, and he's great.

So my shill for today is, go check out Bob's channel, and consider giving this interview or any of his other interviews a thumbs up.  Let's be conscious regarding shitty algorithms, and highlight things that push back on them.

We are the fucking algorithm.

Works for podcasts too...


He was at my wedding… Take A Rest was on the playlist.

Tapes were the one! I used to spend hours taping pirate radio back in the day, was more the UK breaks and bleeps stuff before Jungle but those tapes hold such special place. I still think those radio tapes sound better than vinyl. The hiss, interference and compression create such a vibey sound.

I’ve recently been digitising them since I inherited a tape deck.


As a Proton customer I’m worried that this rush of new features leads to Enshitification. As the business grows investors will want to see returns and we’ve seen so many services turn to shit.

Now, if their wallet included some additional privacy features, that would clearly be welcome. But right now it’s not that exciting to me, especially given the loss of privacy going to public ledger without mixing.


Guru dying got to me in a way no other musician’s death has.

Morning!


I was just thinking of other parallels of murderers getting huge cheers but didn’t want to go there.


Good morning, may joyous noises exude from every orafice this fine day.


Very cool!


Given the cheers for Arpartheid enthusiast and war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu today in America, I’d be less worried about who might be in power and more concerned with those in power right now.

Seriously wtf.

Cheering a war criminal? That’s a whole new vibe.


Lampshade?


Also wars are for nukes and fancy guns and stuff, not culture!


Bookmarked for later. I'm assuming they dropped her because Palestine exists? That happened to a friend a few years back, ironically it helped him reach a much bigger audience when it made the national press.

Nostriga Workshop Proposal!

Sometimes you build something and no one is using it. Often people chalk it up to marketing issues and call it a day, and sometimes it is a variation of a marketing issue, but often it comes down to one of three things:
- The thing you built solves a problem that people aren’t that interested in solving
- The thing you built solves a problem, but you haven’t quite found the audience it solves it for
- The thing you built solves part of the problem, but needs some tweaks to see real adoption.

You can understand which sector your product is in by talking to users, however asking them directly will often not get you honest answers.

I’ve proposed a 90 min hands-on workshop at nostr:npub1nstrcu63lzpjkz94djajuz2evrgu2psd66cwgc0gz0c0qazezx0q9urg5l  on how to ask the right questions when everyone is lying to you. Based on over 10 years of user research experience and tips from Rob Fitzpatrick’s book, The Mom Test, this workshop will help you identify the right questions to ask to understand where to take your product next.

Interested in seeing it happen? Please take a couple of minutes to like it on Github.

Wouldn’t have referred to either as heroes to be honest. The closest I had was the 1970s version of Phil Collins but he ruined that by 1982, it was all downhill from there.

Maybe he could be US President?


A penis?


Don’t trust, blindly follow 😂


No, he’s the president of El Salvador!


Wow, see this is why he’ll never quite be Hitler, Hitler had Hugo Boss doing his swag.

I saw a thing on here saying you could pay $866,000 for a dinner he’ll be at. If I had that sort of money I’d go just to make bad ear puns at him.

We’re all going to hell in a handcart.


Haha! I know it’s wrong but I sort of want a pair just because they may just be the stupidest shit I’ve ever seen!


True indeed!


Thank you! Hopefully more gigs to come, we had a nice roll going pre Covid but it sort of kicked the crap out of everything momentum wise.

Morning Mike!


It varies, sometimes I think it’s very cool, sometimes I think it’s too niche in the bitcoin world and might end up siloed (I appreciate it can’t be technically but could be socially).

There’s still a big gap between the average Nostr user and perceptions, at least as far as the Fediverse.

In the real world? I don’t know anyone who’s even hear of this place.

All that said, I like it here. I should probably post more thoughtful stuff but my brain flits around too much.


Thanks Tim, much appreciated:)


YouTube very recently started aggressively banning IPs, mostly non-residential and forcing sign-ins.

yt-dlp and many invidious, piped instances affected: 403 errors or "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot. This helps protect our community"

Google's concept of community is wanting you to swallow their sludge advertisement and control your speech.

I take this as a challenge.

Piped is great but it was obvious that proxying would be shut down one day.

Even though I'm busy AF, I started prototyping something to take back great Youtube content. Involves nostr, blossom and ecash. More soon

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/10128


Sounds cool, fuck YT anyway.


True and that’s their choice, which is cool they have that option. Personally I have my own solo instance and I tend to interact with anyone, unless they’re an arsehole or on some nasty shit.

The indie web gives users lots of options for interaction without manipulation, well at least not from big corps etc.


Some live footage of Liotia has appeared... I'm playing bass lol, well I have a bass guitar in my hand, playing might be a bit of a stretch. Very stripped back version of HDYK.

Got a cool T-Shirt on though.

#Liotia #Music #LiveMusic.


The first online communities, as far as I’m aware, gathered around niche interests. My first experience of communities were WinMX chat rooms, then music forums. That felt like peak internet to me.

Maybe is just the vibe of smaller communities?


Woke up with this in my head, nice bit of story telling rap from the UK 2000s vintage.

#Music #HipHop


The funny thing with Nostr and the Fediverse is it’s a whole heap of people looking for an interoperable network without walled gardens etc.

Basically we all want The Internet. These protocols are really us taking it back to what it was pre Facebacon, X etc, maybe this is to Gen X what the 1950s was to boomers?


I know the feeling, I still peak at MySpace from time to time.


Good morning. 👋


Hmm supposed to be shoots but shits is good.


Ok he’s had 48 hours, what’s Biden doing to get the news cycle back?

Maybe he shits how own foot off?


Exactly.


Sound 👊🏼


It’s a business though right? I mean how else are they going to provide all those channels, unless you get an ad every time you’re zapped…

If it’s done as a reasonable percentage I’m cool with that, if it’s a flat fee that would put me off.

How do they currently pay people?


I spent a fair bit of time with Keith LeBlanc who was the drummer at Sugar Hill and cut a lot of the Fubky 4 Plus 1, Kool Moe Dee, Grandmaster Flash etc. Sylvia Robinson was very happy when drum machines became popular… a lot of drummers lost their jobs. Keith took a different path and became the most in demand programmer in New York. There’s always been culture shifts and talented people adapt, trouble is talented people don’t run Universal. Those folks make Suge Knight look like a pussy.


It’s already a kind of that. Most pop production sessions, from what I hear, start with listening to whatever is hot at that time. Then it’s a case of making something as similar as possible without drawing too many parallels as to get sued.

Get a good or interesting person, whack a dollop of ottertune on it and put it out.

There’s so much more I could write but it’s all pretty self evident. Universal execs are going to be very happy not to have to deal with musicians, producers and artists, they’ve always been a pain, what with all their opinions and feelings.

Now their children play at music with prompts, like even more so than Mark Ronson.


‘ear that’s enough of that!


Oof 😂


Innit! Maybe that’s why it’s $865k? was meant to be $1m.


Ear-ntry fee


I dunno, if I had that to spare, I’d love to see how many ear puns I could get in.


I love that someone went to all that effort. Monty Python ftw.


I think the website is staged. If you look at the DNS records you can see.


There’s something about having the real thing… plus they double up as a pension fund! I have an original ARP Odessey from the year I was born, absolutely love it, needs a service though.


Sorry!


Well there’s the washing tool but then there’s the Mrs from Neighbours…


We try to get organised but I struggle with anything more than 2 weeks away, it could be 500 years in the future as far as my brain goes.

Took me a long time to find the one, I’d assumed I was much like yourself till then.

Interesting about the nym. It started as a joke that I’m Not Phil Collins. Good to know you’re not either! My Fedi instance has a lot of Phil Collins emojis ranging from Good Phil (drummer in the 70s) through to Bad Phil, Grumpy Phil as his music got progressively worse over the years.

I also have a thing about CR78 drum machines… I wanted to use another name at first but it was already taken by some other musician.


Lovely, relaxed day. Went for lunch at a fancy restaurant and then shopping for rings.

When we first went to jewellers a couple of weeks ago they said, due to my big hands (they’re very normal imo) I’d have to wait a couple of weeks but we scoured the little indie jewellers and lo and behold, they came up with the goods.

Just a nice, slow, easy day together :)

I guess some people might get stuff like that months in advance but we’re a little haphazard when it comes to planning.

Most importantly she said I do and was very happy!


Thanks Mike!

If you are looking for a Monday morning energy boost check out nostr:npub1q33jywkl8r0e5g48lvrenxnr3lw59kzrw4e7p0cecslqzwc56eesjymqu0 ’s electronic music stream from last week! https://zap.stream/naddr1qqjxve35v5ukyvtx94skxwt9956rwvfe95ungde595urvvtrvdsk2vtrvgexvqghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7q3qeaz6dwsnvwkha5sn5puwwyxjgy26uusundrm684lg3vw4ma5c2jsxpqqqpmxw5azex9


Part of the reason we do ok on Bandcamp is I’ve been on the Fediverse (Mastodon mainly) since 2019 and there’s a strong Bandcamp culture there.

I no longer release on Spotify and at gigs I specifically say to the audience if they like what we do and want to support, either buy physical direct from us or buy from Bandcamp. Telling them directly usually brings in a few sales.

Asking people at gigs to visit Spotify is bollocks, if people like you, they can find you. Telling them to use Spotify only creates free advertising for a platform that shows us zero respect!

Also fuck Daniel Elk, he’s not even a real Elk.


Thanks Linda!


+1 sparkles.


Nicely done! Can super relate to this, got as far as running nodes in command line, now trying to do a more traditional home server for music, folate storage, sharing etc.

It hurts my head but it’s good to challenge yourself.


5 years ago I set out to learn to code. For me this journey has been incredibly difficult. I've had so many up and downs, quit and restarted numerous times, had countless setbacks. Never having had any formal college education, I wanted to teach myself something, something hard. I wanted to learn and I wanted to build. More than anything, I wanted to find a way to contribute to Bitcoin. I've finally built something that I am proud of and am happy to share it in the hopes that it can help others.

It's nothing groundbreaking or complicated.. it's a website, a website built from the ground up and focused on self-custodying your Bitcoin. It may not be much but it's a huge achievement for me and proof that if your consistent and put in the proof of work, that over time you can achieve what was once a distant dream. It's the start a new journey as well, one where I feel empowered to do more. LFG.

Please share it with whomever you think might find it useful: https://www.wehodlbtc.com/

If you've got feedback or suggestions please do let me know! 🧡

I think it can help in so much that after a while the person can at least have some sort of back up should things take a nasty turn. Eg eviction or other difficult life situation.

I’ve always had music so I can’t say with certainty money can save people. Very few of my old friends made it, they either died or went mad. I honestly think music rescued me.

Interested to read responses…


Until you then live at work in the building you used to go to work in…

Hope they make decent living spaces and aren’t shit.


Have a good on Cristalina!


Long way until he's at Castro level of dodging assasins.


Music production too.


I’ve done the same with my regular server, today I’m attempting Mastodon on the command line, what could possibly go wrong….

Good luck!


That RegionalHodl guy has turned up on the TL again, I thought I’d lost him!


Eek that’s not good.

Still not put anything on my, just a place to host RoboSats. Don’t think I will be now.


That’s just an AI engine running on his foot. The hardware is still a little clunky.


Morning!


How do you get on with Bandcamp? That’s still by far our best revenue stream.


Being on a platform like Wavlake is actually centralized music, the opposite of #DeMu decentralized music, but there are lots of people who'd love to teach you to build your own RSS feed and self-host your tracks, myself included! There are also services like RSS Blue and Music Side Project that take all the work out of it. But for the DIYers out there:

https://github.com/de-mu/demu-feed-template/blob/master/feed-with-comments.xml


✨Yet another reason why Decentralized music is the best space for independent artists like me ✨:

One morning I woke up to an unsettling email from my distribuor, "We've been notified by Spotify that they've removed your release due to artificial streaming: 'Never Knew'...We haven't been given any additional information...and have no way to help or appeal Spotify's decision. Sorry for any inconvenience this caused..."

I quickly opened Spotify and sure enough my single "Never Knew" was gone - No clear path for appeal nor an explanation as to what playlist was the culprit.

As an independent artist, I have to use third party playlist curators to promote releases on major streaming platforms. I've only used SubmitHub and Groover, which are supposed to be sanctioned by Spotify because I submit songs for consideration Not for guaranteed placement - spending money just to be heard. But that effort has gotten my music taken down without any information to avoid a possible infringement on these veiled guidelines in the future. I am fortunate that "Never Knew" was also featured on my EP, so it has not been completely removed from the platform, but what does this mean for my singles not apart of a dedicated album? Would they have been erased?

The whole experience would have left me feeling powerless and defeated if I didn't know about #v4vmusic 🙏 Thanks to the #nostr community and #v4v platforms like  nostr:nprofile1qqszy58kj62v9fpe98nhuh0q76np4e0r0g0wd44rhth3wphdnyqjfzcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwvd6hyun9de6zuenedyq3yamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwccxctnfduyrnr5s independent artists, like me, finally have a space to be heard, to grow and have true autonomy over our art. 💚

Damn sorry to read that, fucking sucks. I nearly had an issue with a release due to YT saying there were uncleared samples of which there were none. Fortunately the argument was at the aggregator level but it still caused me a wasted day fighting the case.

I hope you can pick up some traction on Wavlake or Bandcamp.

I no longer put any work on the other streaming platforms, fuck them.

Best of luck x


What england need now is a world war to gee them up a bit.


Look at his dinky little arms! #Pickford #Euro24


Harold Kane and Donald Trump are similar, nothing much happens when the ball hits their head


Very much doubt anyone in the England team can kick a ball as good as Yamal.


Oh shit, the guy from the shop on Coronation Street. I get it now.


So did he support the ETFs or not?


I still don’t know who this Naval guy is, did a web search and just got loads of info about the Navy.


Just Marty writing a very long post the other day, starting withb’to cut a long story short’.

Someone said he didn’t understand the meaning of the phrase, it then got mentioned on RHR and I did a lol…


Apparently this Naval guy is head of the navy or something.


It’s because some called him our re. cutting a long story short. Now we only get this.


I was using Mullvad’s browser but it started going odd so I’m back to hardened Firefox.

I assume they’re all shit at this point in time.


So are we seeing extra traffic now because X will/wont allow certain posts?


Shouldn’t it be Loud noises heard ON PA

Fair comment.


If it soups it loops?


Morning!


Never underestimate the power of soup and superglue.


Good morning.

Harry Kane a lone shooter?


Just imagining what the other guy will need to do to get the news cycle back…


Anything other than us playing football really.

What about a lone wolf shooter in the crowd?


We swap around Kane and Pickford, we’ll confuse them and they end up scoring an own goal.


It's going to be banging, such an opportunity for conspiracy artists too.


The one and only Jimmy Hill


Haha!


Well this is exciting…


Or he has a flashback to Vietnam, grabs an agent’s pistol and shoots Kamala Harris shouting Viet Cong!


I see that chin and raise you.... https://image.nostr.build/7641af03af0113dd60324ad38ca992d07122a82d590756dabe54f84d36f1a0a0.jpg


With luck england can bore spain to sleep and then sneak a goal in.


Biden’s going to have to do something seriously far out to get the news cycle back on him.

Maybe we he could get some aliens to back his campaign?


That’s a relief, I hate not being up on things. Welcome aboard anyway!


Trying to find the hottest take on current events…

Although not trying particularly hard tbh.


Everyone seems to like you here. Who are you?


A big time sailor I think.


Fist - check
Flag - check


Damn, with these recent events looks like I’ll be scuppered again!


Good night!


If someone got scraped on the ear by a bullet, wouldn’t a bit of the ear be missing?

I’ve never tried to shoot someone’s ear off so don’t know.


I could do a DJ set with Trump spitting bars….


Is that’s the case why are you scared?


No worries, I just know how bad I am for missing typos, even when I proof read.

A lot of times I really wish there was an edit button on here.


None that I’m particularly are of but then it depends what scale you put on mass?

If it’s people going through some sort of nation’s immigration system then the violence tends to be localised/individualised.

I’m not talking about military invasions, just normal movements of people, people travelling to work etc.


I proof read everything, only problem is I’m an idiot.


No worries!


And what if the next wave of colonists are smarter than you?


I wonder how many people make their own wedding first dance dub plates?


I do typos so you don't have to.


Humans have created all sorts of methods for moving around the globe… add in some wars and destruction of towns and cities, some economic turbulence, despotic regimes and changes in climate, it’s to be expected that migrants will move around seeking better places to live.

History is peppered with psychopaths. Look at the english in the 17th century pretty much stealing every shiny object from around the world regardless of who owned it.

Migration is going to happen and if you can’t get your head round it, I don’t see your stress levels ever dropping tbh. Blaming economic conditions on migrants is a waste of time, especially if you’re of a migrant population. Irony is a thing you know.

Personally I can’t wait to move away from the shitty island I live on. However, I’m not intending on a killing spree to get a new place so relax and enjoys yourselves. 🎉

I expect some tension wherever I end up, that’s to be expected but I’ll look for somewhere with a more relaxed attitude to new people.

It’s funny reading about European settlers of other lands worrying about migrants displacing them, especially when no violence is involved.

I’d say one of the biggest issues with housing is houses becoming investment vehicles rather than a place to chill and do your thing.


Not to detract from Goldie, his track defo changed things up with the timestretched pitched drums.

Exactly, his website, his rules. X is just a digital North Korea, all is well so long as you parise the leader.


See when you own your own website you can do that, however it doesn't mean the average X user can... lol

My website > Elon Musk's website.


I'm mostly inhabiting the 1890's today.


Cool, appreciated. Normally share Invideous links but they've been sketchy lately.


Just zapped you for the other day when your track came up on the Wavlake bot feed. Nice works man.


Nice, enjoyed the Nostr analyis, thought ity was pretty fair. Going to seek out your Mastodon one now. My server is currently out of service but will be back up agian soon.


Before Goldie was making track NRG made this bass, breaks, and bleeps banger.

Heclcome abour Sir.


Morning squire.


Trustafarians.


Hi I'm Matt Odell, you might remember me from from scenes such as Stay Humble Stack Sats.

Strong pointing action at the top man.


Got to admit this bit made me do a double take… “providing the greatest change to Australian ethnicity and total population in our history yet the ABS decided to cease tracking that data specifically in the census.”

You left out the bit when all those honkeys from Britain turned up…


It’s the one I go back to.


Good morning!


Agreed.


Loved How Many Mics and Fu Gee La but then my neighbour bought the album and it was the only thing he ever played for a whole 6 months and it did my head in!


They're great Donnay sports socks, high energy, pro series socks.


I’ve not lived through one of these before, I’ll put on my best socks.


Although an alternative view could be the complete opposite… I dunno.

I used to make ‘content’ a few years back, which for me where short music/film clips for insta but it always felt follow compared to making a complete piece of music. More high time preference I guess.


Content is some kind of media created solely for consumption on social media platforms, whereas music and art are music and art.

I think content is another way of saying filler, like skits on a Fugees album. They could be amusing one time (two time) but then forgotten forever more.


When?


Weird seeing people post as if X is some public utility like water or electricity. It’s just some bloke’s website.

I’ve got a website as well, it’s very cool indeed and I like it a lot but I don’t expect anyone else to have feelings about it.


Unite and leave lol. X is Musk’s private webpage.


Wow, that was insane!


Thanks. Soon come!


Nostr's like this thing y'kno.

Good morning Connie!


Zap.stream? If you have a cam and a mic, it’s fairly straightforward.

Depends on quite how you want to perform. As long as you can mix down to a stereo output you should be good.

Happy to share info on setting up OBS etc. if you like? I mix down via Logic and then use VB Cable to provide an audio input to OBS, that then hooks up to zap.stream


Trouble is I still don’t have valid confirmation of what kind of potato I am.


With some robotics and ChatGPT5 I reckon he could last another 30 easily.

I'll comment here instead.


Is it possible for whenever something from Threads tries to interact with me it gets an automated response telling them to fuck off?

For me it's Nostr and Mastodon (plus a few other Fedi bits) but Zuck's face disturbs my dreams and I don't want him haunting my social media as well, digital babylon!


That's my point... Then maintain 'libertarian non aggressive principles' because it's now their land and they don't want the same to happen to them.

The concept of property rights seems somewhat flawed.


Yesterday was cool, I got a young lad to help me rebuild my server and teach me some Linux basics, everything's running in dockers now and the ssh is secure. My Mastodon is currently down, as is PeerTube but these will be restored and with luck running a lot more efficiently very soon. There's no GUI clogging things up and I finally have a solid streaming solution for my music! Navidrome is set up where as previously I was using Nextcloud and a browser page for streaming, far from ideal but the best I could manage at the time with my limited knowledge and using Yunohost.

I've a lot to do in the rest of my life today so I'll unlikely do more work on it till over the weekend but very happy with how it's shaping up.

So glad I know a wonder kid, he's only 17 but very advanced for his years. I predict a bright future ahead for him!


True story, it’s still on, still rings and has received a billion texts.


Welcome aboard Lexie!


Nice!


Europe is totally popping off right now.


So take a modern day scenario. The IDF kick in the door of a Palestinian’s house and use their weapons to force the land owners out the house.

The land has been owned by the Palestinian family for many generations.

Now the Israeli government, defend it.

Whose land is it?

In libertarian world surely that breaks the non aggression principle, even if the Israeli government defend that land and rewrite law to benefit themselves?


Hell Ashton, welcome aboard!


I’m awake now. Nostr is saved!


Yeah Snoop Dog, does he run JP Morgan now?


It’s more a cheeky reference to the USA (and other former colonies) being built on stolen land. I’m not planning on looting anywhere, well not at the moment at least.


Property rights and a non violence. Cool.

On stolen property taken through violence.
Whoopsie!

Fair summary. If society was functioning well people wouldn’t be looking for answers in the writings of Marx.

It’s not dissimilar to blaming fiat for everything, that’s not to diminish where it has done damage but I don’t think blaming fiat for inclement weather is correct.

Something will change, of that I’m sure but I think it will take longer than a lot of people think and I have no idea what life will be like on the other side.

I do know I need to stay strong and look out for those close to me.


Cheers, just having a moment this morning… have lifted some weights and am cramming caffeine into my face. I’ll get there!


Thanks Franny, much appreciated! Little clips could be cool, I used to do those way back when I still had an insta account.

I’m not going anywhere, I support an independent internet!

Once I get these repairs finished it’ll be full stream ahead. 🤟🏽

Nice sausage. Morning!


Could someone pay AOC to wear a Buy Bitcoin dress at the Met Gala? Couldn’t some OG do it just for the lolz? Watching peoples’ cognitive dissonance play out would amuse me immensely.


About creators and zaps…

Firstly, I’ve been involved in music for a while but the world I inhabit is in decline.

So I started experimenting with streaming, it’s a bit haphazard, learning the tech in public, sourcing appropriate equipment, repairs etc. mean I’m not at the quality I want to be. I need to stabilise streams and settle into a regular routine.

Little technical bugs suck, for example I streamed for an hour the other day but was unaware it actually stopped broadcasting after 20 minutes. I’d gone from 20 listeners to zero and left feeling that what I’m doing it total shit! (I accept in many ways it is but it will improve I promise). Still, some set backs are to be expected.

Getting zapped 1000 sats is quite exciting in the moment. Receiving an instant payment for something feels fantastic, especially after years of dibbled money from Spotify etc. where the royalties appear mystical in their accounting.

 Wavlake is cool,  to get some sats the moment someone digs what you’ve done is satisfying but again it’s a hell of a way off being something meaningful. I appreciate anyone who zaps though! If the user base were bigger it could be a decent income stream.

To scale up to anything near to covering costs is going to be difficult. It’s seems like a similar position to the devs in many ways.

To be constantly doing promo on a small platform will seem like spam to many and it’s not something I’ve ever been keen on to be completely honest.

V4V can be quite brutal, I actually dig the concept a lot but also walking up thinking well my total value as a human is £1 can be quite depressing.

Fortunately I still have income studio engineering and a little teaching. I know I’m rambling but this is just where my head is at.

I need to bring in more income but I’m unsure what I should do. Normality never suited me.


What is it with these conferences and politicians?

Hello Wade.


I always think of a 1 sat zap as a sarcastic like, a slow clap or something.


It’s probably fiat’s fault somehow.


Good morning, may all your pineapples be sweet and reach their desired target.

Good to know who to avoid out here…

Mad how these things cycle round, I thought people had become more accepting through the 90s and 2000s, now society’s going backwards again.

Most of this shit sounds like a 12 year old that just discovered 4Chan.
