What I can surely say is, that #Nostr is here to stay. The idea of a decentralized future and our right to speak freely is inevitable. Ever since I’ve been on here my highest goal has been to support this still very little network of people as good as I can. Especially after such a big conference it’s a great deal to encourage people to contribute here.

I want to share some of my thoughts with you. About how you can support Nostr right now. Spread its importance and let it thrive. Add something if you got some thoughts on that.

💜 Ask questions. Nostr can still be very confusing but people are happy to help. I mean, we all know something and we will find out together and learn. No matter how stupid your question may seem, it isn’t. It’s helpful. Asking a question might look unaesthetic in your profile, but asking questions is human. Be human, the Nostrworld needs curiosity. Notes or events could be seen as a part of a big and endless flowing river. Flow with it.

💜 Share/Build stuff just for fun. Since Nostr is still in a very playful state. It’s sometimes hard to notice that you actually reach people. Or it feels like it’s just a few & you put it in relation to the work you put in. It can be very relieving to post out of pure joy for the protocol or for the thing you want to share. Without expecting too much. When you’re creating on Nostr today, you have to put lots of effort in, so make sure it’s fun.

💜 Engage. Engagement is like the heartbeat of the Nostr-Network. If you decide to be online, make sure to engage a little, so the creators feel seen. We’re social beings, & some may need more feedback than others, this is something we shouldn’t underestimate especially in this early state. No feedback is also feedback, support what you can identify with.

💜 Be the Nostr you want to see in the world. Your own perception of the protocol matters. While we all have very varying perceptions, we are naturally supposed to find the next best consensus. Try to imagine nostr in the future. Where do you see it? Contribute. Share your thoughts!

💜 Connect. Build community. Nostr is not just a new decentralized protocol, I view it as a massive innovation in online interaction. The future is not just bright, it will be different. And to grow the world towards that difference, connect with the people to inspire and to encourage each other to do better.

💜 Take time. To revolutionize the online social networks, I think it’s important to take your time when you engage or when you build. Behind every Npub there is a person with believes, believing something brings a more likely inflexible energy with it. If you decide to discuss the believes of others because they’ve decided to share them, it can be helpful to be open minded and to take your time to listen and to respond mindfully. Patience is power, whether you talk to others or when you build something. Just like ignoring and moving on.

💜 Talk about the other stuff. While Nostr got many social clients already, the other stuff may exceeds your imagination. Think about everything you need an identity for. Who knows where we’re going, but we’re becoming more decentralized to fight censorship and to bring more natural interaction into the online world.

💜 Onboard. Even if you’re unsuccessful. Bring it into the mind of people. This new technology is hard to explain. It takes a lot of time and a lot of minds to form the „What is Nostr?“ question. Don’t be afraid, be convinced. Trust in the future and the people.

💜 Every individual serves different purposes, realize your light and share it with us. Contribute in a way that aligns with you.✨🫂

It was a great experience to meet Nostriches, trying to onboard new Nostriches and listening to the different perspectives on Nostr at the BTC-Prague conference! Thanks for all the inspiration and encouragement. Love you guys. Let’s grow #TheNostr 💜🌱


I hope he treated them better than the women in his life!

Agreed. Niche interest forums were great before Zuckerberg shoved his ugly mug everywhere.


Well for too long social media bought people closer together and it wasn’t that enjoyable. Here’s to people being more separate.


To be honest, I dont need to see what people are wanking about. Keep that shit to yourself.


So that’s why everyone types gm here?


Humbly.


Imelda Marcos for the 21st Century.


Nice interface?


Amazing. These days he’d be considered too smart to be president.


I appreciate the parties putting their best people forward still.


Any #bounty out i can work on?


In a free society fish can do whatever they please.


Good morning, may you cross paths with the sardine of good fortune this fine day.


I’ve been consistent on my view in this. All that money but can’t get good skincare.

I’d happily drop a few sats getting some treatment.

Maybe he had really bad achne as a kid? Maybe he made a pact with the devil, all the money for bad skin.


I question this. Yes 21 million fixed cap on chain but Blackrock already trading paper corn unaccountably.

Could be anything by 2030.

Truth is none of us know what the future holds, there are no easy options. Do the best you can with what you have available.


McDonald’s?


But a pretty good sportsball team.


Exactly.


I’ve learned the Spanish word for goal. Every day a learning day.


I live a relatively good natured life, I don’t steal, commit adultery, take another human’s life, nor do I live beyond my means or succumb to gluttony.

However, the moment my neighbour gets an ox I can’t help but covert the mofo.

Gets me every time smh.


Ah cool, we back to coveting oxen again!


Rich and secure are very different things.

Saving small amounts from a modest income into a system highly likely to outpace inflation isn’t a  plan for riches.

It can make a huge difference when faced with unforeseen life events etc.

If riches were my motivation, I would be doing something entirely different in life.


Someone’s stolen a massive chunk out of that football stadium.

#Sportsball


Hmm maybe but then maybe he had the same opinion of the dollar? He was pretty advanced accumulating wealth and avoiding taxation prior to deciding btc was interesting.

If some folks are happy to understand that as him wanting to benefit the community they’re free to do so.

Maybe I’m more cynical in my latter years…


It often amazes me how keen some folks are on gated communities in the world of Bitcoin.

As you rightly point out, humanity has ways of rebalancing outside of politics.


Saylor talking about prying his bitcoin out of his ‘cold dead hands’ doesn’t do much for the argument that wealth creation leads to further deployment of capital.

A lot of extremely wealthy people do seem to exhibit sociopathic tendencies, even when their staff say they’re really nice once you get to know them.


Watching the football thingy in Spanish for extra vibes.

Gwan Chris Waddle!


Cows?


Denim shorts you say? Sounds hot!


No, southern europe.

Mount Donk?


This was massive when I was teen, perfect record for time.


Just the idea of Telegram channels in this day and age seem antithetical to what many here are looking for.

There’s much better tools out there.


Telegram channel.. Is this a 2017 ICO?!


How do I sign up?


hello allison lol https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1801573317222219777/pu/vid/avc1/716x434/XxD3iwLW0rqmh0xP.mp4


Humbly of course.


Stack IKEA shelving units?


I’m too important to do anything other than chill on this mountain.

If you’re not important enough to chill in this mountain I can’t help you.

Morning!


Real criminals wear suits.


Indeed. No difference between Labour and Cons.


I’m terrible for this and I nearly always overwork for the benefit of the client. I have this fear that I’m slow and therefore don’t account for all the time.

Also, sometimes time means wandering around or relaxing to get an idea. It feels difficult charging for that time but it’s necessary.


Must’ve been hard shooting all those green things.


Hey I know a woman who once took a dump in a Tupperware box on a tour bus. Grim!

Thank you!

Can anyone hook me up with an #Alby code? It be most auspicious . Thanks!


Depends what you ask it. The pizza’s quite nice…


Nicely done.


lol X gon give it to ya.


I expect the same again this time around, provided Mr Forgetful doesn’t win.


He says lots of things…


Open AI to release Theranos AGI.

Can’t wait!


It’s simple. Someone who likes Bitcoin and either has a tonne of btc or a btc company gave his campaign loads of money.

Trump is most predictable in that regard.

Still no ‘free Assange’. The guy’s just busting out live face memes.


X? Is that  porn website?


Just reading Gary Stevenson’s book and he said he lost his wallet in Japan, retraced his steps and found his wallet in the middle of a busy street, cash still there and everything. Indeed, very cool!


Cool! 🤘🏽


But he's going to free the Samourai guys and ban KYC!


Did that work?


Gnite!


i use signal now as the place i share an ongoing photo album of my daughter, and have invited friends and famiľy i want to join to the group, giving them only ability to react, no commenting and ky wife and i have group admin privileges. Serves to encrypt and protect photos of my daughter and force all my old ass relatives and family to adopt superior messaging service 😂 its like im shotgun kycing my aunts onto Signal hahah. join or dont see my cute daughters photos ever again

it also works really well, woukd recommend for other parents 🤙

As I understand it, it's for watching any sort of 'live broadcast' but I don't know what would be arguable in court. I didn't used to get one as I only watched YT etc, not any terrestrial stations.

You need a TV license in UK. Sounds about the same cost, they probably got the idea from us. Sorry!


Ah fair enough, I’m not hip to the latest gossip!


‘Ello!


Is it? Sounds exciting.


I feel a lot of folks are far too well spoken to be plebs.... Elites!?

He's out with King Crimson over the summer, I need to check those dates again...


Actually pretty excited about potential here. I'm hurting my brain big time, I'm a total command line bellend but the idea of streaming and getting zaps via my own PeerTube instance and setting the Nipple No5 thingy to my domain also looks like a reality!

Playing my music, on my own server, getting my own money that's hard as fuck. Boom selector!!

#Streaming #Sats #Music #IndependentMusic #FuckSpotify


Well it's appropriate!


True, tell that to Blackrock and Conbase...


Surprised more folks aren't talking about this.


This arrangement allows BlackRock to borrow Bitcoin, including for short-selling, without proving a 1:1 holding ratio.

These transactions settle in 2 to 30 days, all in cash, not Bitcoin. Off-chain trades occur outside the blockchain, remaining invisible on the public ledger.

Does #Primal support #Keysend?

If so, that’s pretty helpful. Appreciate anyone can clarify, a web search didn’t solve it.


When I think of Apple’s intelligence, Steve Jobs comes to mind. After that it just seems more like a bank.


Only took them 5 years…


Signal, Simple X and Matrix here. I don’t get the whole telegram thing, genuinely baffled by it. Especially when it’s help for things like Robosats.


Does Steve Jobs rise from the dead and make coffee? I mean that would be good. It’s not that is it?


I’m autistic in ways you can imagine. I got a doctor’s note and everything.


Yeah I’d be ssh’ing…


Saving and posting peoples’ stuff later is very cool.


No algorithm means stuff doesn’t get seen. I’ve got no problem with indies doing self promo.


I don’t know how I’d do that in the command line, would that be like making a nano file?


Will take a look, thanks!


So I've seen a lovely pair of NIPs but I have no idea what to do about it.


I thought I was?! And what, I can do that with my own domain?! Cool! Have to go to work shortly but very interested in that!


Oh wow, nice one! Surprised to see Luka and Bitcoin in the same space

That’s no way to treat Louis Armstrong records!


Thank you!


No it isn't lol. Wanna buy a JPEG?


Your zaps don’t work!!


Haha! So far I’ve just had one DM but from a person I like, just giving me a heads up that people don’t like Bitcoin  and I understand that, I’m not breaking anyone’s balls about anything! I’m doing whatever I need to keep me and the family happy without being a cunt!


You too man, have a good one!


Sorry about the hum, this deck's been up in my attic for a while, needs a service, thought it better to just live with the technical problems and get this happening. Learning live!


No worries, cheers!


Nice sure if the sound's been doubling up!


Cheers :)


Thank you sir! Appreciated :)


Yeah I'm still getting there... So many things to work out with this streaming lark!


Hello!


Apologies if anyone came on the stream to find unwanted noise or lack of stream. Still working it out, new to this, especially settings for optimum quality etc. plus getting PeerTube and Zapstream syncing seems a little mystical.

Learning live!

Cheers :)


Going live any second now...

INPC Ep 2!

Today I'm playing some Miles Davis and other associated artists on vinyl, talking some bollocks and generally getting the hang of this streaming malarky.

Expect mishaps and technical but being upbeat and good natured about it.

Youtube is Babylon so this will be PeerTube and ZapStream only. Sorry kids, the only twitching I do is caffeine related.

"Don't bother telling me that AI makes human writing obsolete. It rather makes it a more-exclusive endeavor, by reducing the scope of the content to something more reflective of the person writing."

This is similar to my own thinking, human writing will become more niche but in turn can make it more interesting. You've probably seen enough by now to tell that both I can't write particularly fluidly and have very niche interests but these are areas AI doesn't find interesting, it wants to find the mean, what the average human likes. It is Ed Sheeran.

I'm going to stream some niche human stuff today. I will enjoy myself.


Likewise Cristalina, have a good one!


Indeed, you’re known by the company you keep and the company he keeps is indeed boring.


Nice post… I’m inclined to agree with most of that, I’m not sure how old you are but I think it’s easier to adapt when you’re younger (although not impossible when older). Therefor makes sense to look forward to a little chaos. The status quo is boring, much like the band of the same name.

Currently I’m in that Trainspotting scenario but I’m aware of that and open minded. I’ve lived waayyy more Trsinspotting than the average person. It is what it is. Ultimately the space inside my skull is the only true space I have *property rights*. Agree that things tend to happen way slower than people think, it’s a managed decline.

The shed is where I have a small but very functional music studio. It’s a cool environment, I like flow states and it works well for me.


Very cool!


When’s the World Cup?


Some bellend from South Africa apparently.

I think he spun up a Mastodon instance or something.


We’re all going to hell in a handcart lol.


Germany hasn’t  had a good run really, Weimar, Hitler, East/West split, Stasi etc…

You folks did make some very good microphones though… oh and tape and some nice cars.


First bit should say regulatory capture, not culture.


Regulatory culture is clearly a big part of it. It seems companies are very free market oriented until they reach a certain size and then the only way they can continue to grow is by ensuring a natural competitor can’t exist so power is taught to enable that.

Power dynamics often seem over looked. Which is what makes me wonder if a state is the natural conclusion. You can tear down the walls and start again but do you just get to the same place?

The USA discarded the UK, then became dominant to the point that now folks want to tear it down and start again.

Life’s fun isn’t it. I’m glad I have a shed.


Given how ‘free market’ and freedom orientated Americans generally are, what stopped that happening there?

States have existed for a very long time in human history. I wonder if this is natural progression?

I’m not taking a position on this. I’m interested in explanations on how the current state came about, given what many Americans have as deeply held principles.

Genuine question.


Loved that album when it came out. Got a LOT of plays.


Good morning folks, may today bring you lots of things to your face that are pleasing to you.


I wish it would hurry up then…


Hmm…


Wicked track.


Someone’s got the horn.


Dinner alone again?


Exactly. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.


2Pac > AIPAC


Not surprising. Elno is only interested in the noise coming out of his own face hole.


Here's a remix I did back in 2007, I just found on an old drive. This never came out, I guess the band weren't feeling it? Nevermind eh, win some loose some.

The official release has some n00b called Tricky on it. Ah well.

Anyway, I still like how everything I made back then sounds like I lived in an opium den.

Wake up sheeple!


Using X seems like the dumbest shit right now, everything is done to illicit a negative response and feed drama.

Sure some things are important and need  sharing but better tools exist.

DMX lied, X ain’t gone give it to ya.


Anyone wanna shill me some cool stickers for the new laptop case?


Day 2 on Asahi Linux.

There seems to be an issue getting an HDMI signal out via USB-C, which is annoying but otherwise I'm getting used to things.

I've only used Macs for most my adult life, getting into a new way is cool, it doesn't feel shit like when I use a PC at the library.

Tonnes lot of customisation I'm not used to. Still haven't hacked the Pentagon but I did something called dnf, perhaps that's a furniture store? Hmm, I wonder if they have a sale on?


Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while BNN were a dope crew. Remember seeing them at the DMC World Championships around 2000


Clever drumming, I like it!


Damn. I hate this shit. Next will be citizens doing the same to ‘fight back’ except they’ll do it via Amazon and we all lose harder.

I might get a really long pointy stick to maintain a safe distance. Maybe they were right about social distancing after all.


Exactly.

X’s time is up, focus one something different.

It’s like Meta federating with ActivityPub. Shit.


Are you in the Middle Ages? Nostr can also enable time travel?!

All of it tbh. It baffles me.


Why only 2026? Needs to be at least 2097 otherwise we’re all gonna die.


I’m pretty terrible at that sort of thing, maybe they could give me a job!


Yeah this is very much an educational project. Until 2020 I had very basic computer understanding, I knew my music apps very well but fuck all else.


The music world is very tied to Apple and I don't really like that. My long term goal has been to switch to Linux. However, I broke the screen on my laptop, which whilst repairable, is also expensive, so I bought the same model again second hand.

Now I'm keeping the old one as a dedicated music machine, it works fine when plugged into a monitor, essentially it's now a Mac Mini.

This machine I'm on now is dual boot, so I'm on Mac OS if I'm using it for a live show but I have the option of learning Linux and testing things out too. Maybe it's a stupid thing to do but I want to have at least some protection from the killer robots with lasers.


Ah KDE


I’m such a Linux n00b… what’s DE?


Ubuntu vs. Fedora

I installed Asahi Fedora on  M1 Mac, struggling to install Mullvad Browser and Proton. The machine is being run as a general daily computer (music stuff will still be done on Mac).

As far as I can tell this is due to ARM vs 86-64? I don’t fully understand to be honest but Ubuntu seems more generally supported.

I’m wondering if it’s worth trying the Ubuntu flavour, or am I over thinking this? My Linux knowledge to date has been Debian related.

Thanks for the link, that's EXACTLY what I need :)


I made 500 sats for commenting on someones socks earlier compared to 100 sats for the stream. Socks is clearly the killer app.


I'm a paradox wrapped up in an enigma. I never promised you reality! What I meant was it was recorded at an event rather than say my bedroom.

I'll look into the Peertube version. If I can have both running from OBS that would be amazing. They didn't have it listed in the options, just Youtube... Half the reason I'm using an old recording first time is to get my head round things, both is idea. I'm very open to the V4V model but I know that'll upset a fair few Fedi people but what's the alternative? !Whore myself to g00gle etc. PeerTube and ZapStream seems like a good basis.

This stream earned me £0.05. Better than anything I have on Spotify!


Sorry if the stream's breaking up your end... Internet here shaky!


Indeed.


Apologies for the sloppy mixes, this is back in 1991 and no doubt 'things happened'. haha.


So this Zap Stream is more of a test while I get my head round the format, the reality of getting up and running is way simpler than it sounded reading the website. I installed OBS, added the key info from Zapstream and off I go... Like I said before, I'm much more a 'push all the buttons' type person.

When the website started talking about servers, I thought I had to have my own server doing everything. Maybe I can in the future. Hmm... As I'm sure you've gathered, I'm a bit of a spaz when it comes to this stuff but at least I'm enthusiastic about it haha.

Future streams will obviously all be music related. I intend to play a lot of records as well as some live mixing of music I've made. I very much doubt I've be a channel 'telling you how to make music'. Just make your own music and be punk about it, even if you think The Sex Pistols suck. The 'this is how you make music' market is saturated by people not making money with their music. Harsh but true. Life's a hustle.

Now I know this is easy I can also take to the proper studio at work (On U Sound) where we can do live dub music with some heavy artists in the genre. This will be very cool!

I've never been a 'content creator' the tag never sat well with me, I've been a DJ, I am an audio engineer , I make my own music and now I dick about on the internet for sats.

Boom selector!

#Music #ZapStream #Sats #INPC

Streaming seems quite complicated…

No doubt here’s an easier way but I want to go via my Yunohost server.

I’m a terrible at reading the manuals person, I click all the buttons until it’s not broken. This could take some time!

I’ve no idea who this Jeffrey Dollar is but he seems very popular.


His full name is Jeffrey Dollar.


Same, sounds like one of those funny old websites. Is it like Geocities?


He clearly doesn’t, he’s proved that time and time again, regardless of the outcome here.


Unfortunately not but it’s a great start to my budding Sock Influencing empire.


Shit, landed myself in the middle of a culture war.


With the additional irony of Carlson building his own career using the exact same methods.

We’re all going to hell in a handcart.


I disagree with the balance left/right at least in my own country where the biggest publications are owned by Murdoch, Rothemere and the Barclay brothers, not the most notable left wing thinkers I can think of… but that’s like arguing over the difference between two pebbles on the beach.

Everyone has their natural biases and not all are as simple as a left/right dichotomy but it certainly makes it easier to pit two broad groups against each other. Personally I’m waaayyyy to the left of many here but I’m trying to stay away from the noise and understand people, maybe I’m some sort of hippy, I don’t know. We’re all going to hell in a handcart and I don’t have the answers.

I have two social media accounts. Here and the Fediverse, between the two I get a broad range of opinion. Both are open source protocols and I like that.

With regards to the developer being doxxed, it’s not great journalism for sure. I do think however, the more attention the writer gets, the more opportunity for them to see themselves as the victim.

Reporting them for privacy violations is within X’s terms of service, so if X had any integrity (lol) then I expect to see action taken against them.

For that reason, I’m keeping my actions to a minimum, I don’t use X. I’ll  continue to use tools I think are useful.


Living the dream!


This and that, mostly that.


Likewise!


Well someone gave me 500 sats for it so it’s a valuable opinion!


Hello!


I commented on someone’s socks and got paid the equivalent of £0.27.

Not bad for a day’s work.


I’m just waiting for them to do an article on how wonderful I am. I’ve got a cat.


Ok, I’ll start building some nukes in my shed.


Excited about today’s computer project…. Asahi on an M1 MacBook.

The broken screen machine goes to strictly music duties. The ‘new’ dual boat will have partition for music,  just Ableton and Reaper for gigs and travel,  Linux partition for everything else.

Then make the studio computer LAN only, I’m sure this is straightforward, I’ve never done that before.

Does TimeMachine work with partitions? Hmm. Lots of questions will arise and I’m sure I’ll bugger something up. But fun times ahead!


1Password is not open source, so I'm not a fan. I find Proton Pass has better integration and UX than Bitwarden, though I also recommend Bitwarden.

Both Proton Pass and Bitwarden are great for syncing to cloud-based password managers (PWMs) and are awesome for people whose threat model allows for more convenience.

The reality is, most people will not sacrifice much convenience for privacy. They would rather use (and reuse) easily crackable passwords that they can remember than deal with a PWM that does not sync on all their devices.

For many, if not most threat models, using a PWM is a huge step forward for their OPSEC (Operational Security). It is scary how many people still don't use password managers. Using and reusing easy-to-remember (and crack) passwords is far riskier than the potential threat of a PWM hack.

Okay, that said, KeePassXC is awesome! It's a great PWM to install in an air-gapped VM on QubesOS, for example, for more sensitive "mission-critical" passwords and even seed phrases that you don't want syncing anywhere.

KeePassDX is also great on mobile for more sensitive passwords. One can even use SyncThing with end-to-end encryption (E2EE) to sync its database to other devices, should they choose to do so.

I recommend storing any mission-critical recovery phrases for other password managers, wallets, 2FAs, etc., in KeePass since it does not sync with any cloud.

For convenience with less sensitive or frequently used passwords (know your threat model), both Proton Pass and Bitwarden are great options. Bitwarden can even be self-hosted, and that's pretty cool.

I gave Proton Pass a test spin about a year ago and still haven't returned to Bitwarden as my daily driver.

If anyone is concerned about Proton being an all-in-one service, they can sign up for another free Proton Pass or Proton VPN or Proton Mail account over Tor, then upgrade using BTC or cash. These accounts would be completely separate from the user's main identity account and used for purposes one does not want associated with their identity at all.

If you sign up for a paid plan, you will have to use a credit card. If you sign up for free and then upgrade, you can use BTC, cash, etc.

Do not provide a recovery email or phone number; they are not required and are metadata that could be used to identify users. Instead, use their recommended recovery phrase.

This way, one can manage their business, get away from Google, use it for all the front-facing tasks, then sign up for a separate Proton VPN and Proton Pass account not associated with their front-facing Proton account for other purposes they do not want associated with their identity.

Privacy and security through isolation and compartmentalization.


Damn, so his name isn’t even Jeff.


Paywal too high for you? Let me help… https://archive.ph/uXdXN


Missed a trick not playing Jump in the background.


I’m not sure about using them for more features from a single point of failure perspective but given I’m gonna start running Asahi for my laptop, I’ll definitely have a play.

I worry that the bigger Proton get, the more pressure to enshittify.


Yeah, that’s a hard no from me


Not content with war crimes in Palestine, Israel are commiting them in Lebanon.

Real power is being able to shit yourself anytime of your choosing. Otherwise what’s the point?

I’d do the same in his position, although I’d probably lob my turd into the crowd for extra lolz.

Fat and lacy eh?


Just wear it on the plane?


lol nice to see he’s got a sense of humour…


Haha! Around that time I was stuck waiting for him in pub lock ins till the early hours, that’s journalists for you.


Asahi? I’m doing that tomorrow. Good luck!


So sorry to read that. My Dad is on a similar path at 82. Remember all the good times you had together x


That’s why my primary goal right now is to pursued you to get a new hat. Surely Jay could help you out? He must have stacks of merch.


Cool! WhatsApp is a funny app though. Hit me up on Threema.

True but I bet there’s more exciting stuff even you haven’t seen.


What gets censored most? I’ve no idea, I haven’t seen it…


I’ve got family in Lebanon, they were over in the summer and I said how terrible everything is and asked is there anything I can do (I was going to offer sats, if that would help) she was quite numb to it all, it’s been going on for so long.

A lot of folks think this stuff is only happening since 7/10 but it’s been happening her entire life. Luckily her son has got out and is living in the UK now.


The guy in the foreground reminds me of that guy from The Village People.


Bust my laptop screen because I’m a fucking bellrnd…

Thinking positive…

The laptop still works when plugged into a monitor. I could use that as a dedicated studio computer.

I create a Linux partition on the ‘new’ second hand machine and run Asahi.

That gets me back to my original sort of plan of switching from Mac to 100% Linux but with Mac fall back.

I really am my own worst enemy.

Has anyone tried a dual boot with Asahi?

#Linux #Asahi #DualBoot #Bellend

I did the same with jobs in the music industry post the deluge of AI created music spam.

I’ve exaggerated the name for my own amusement but they’re always bloviating with life advice on the tending tab.

It gives me a negative vibration that I’d rather avoid. I’m sure that’s ‘my problem’ but I’d like the freedom to curate the platform as I like.

Hot takes on life have zero value for me.


Yeah, what a truly disgusting human being.


I mean it would be quite funny. A whole country wondering where all the things went lol.


All the politicians here are trying to out flag each other with bigger and bigger, more ridiculous flags.

I can't think where I've seen that sort of thing before...

So there’s literally no way of ever removing RegionalHodlXXL9000 from my TL?

Wow, really great. Woodstock.


Wow, the irony of that with 250,000 + dead innocent Iraqi civilians.


Yesterday was a good day, we did some mixes for a friend and worked on some Lee Scratch Perry material, talking the work we did in Dolby Atmos and creating new stereo mixes, recording drums and vocals through the megaphone!

Hello


Interoperability and improving their algorithms?

Interoperability is cool but personally I don’t want a single ID for everything. I know there’s ways to generate multiple nsecs for accounts with a single key but I don’t need to do that yet…

If Tidal can get user data from other platforms I imagine that’s extremely valuable.

I want Tidal to pay musicians in Sats direct for streams. Until that happens it’s a nothing burger from me.


Who’s going on about roads? I often see reference to the roads question without anyone going on about roads.

There’s quite a lot of roads already. Now how about a Fender Rhodes, who will build them?! Fender doesn’t seem that interested. Not even fully communist countries are making them.


Wonderful!


Hmm I thought half the thing with Nostr was it was a lightweight, efficient protocol? Maybe that doesn’t matter much once a bunch of features are added.


Good morning.


Solid car!


Must be summer!


I wasn’t around for the previous bull market. Was it fun?

Man imagine a work app with zaps… how long before an anti-version where the boss deducts zaps? Hmm…


#asknostr I keep getting told my class has a whatsapp group - I kinda wanna sorta needa join that but I do not want to link my real phone number.
Know of any VoIP/SMS provider in Europe that I could utilize as a way of having a burner number?


Still not sure, been trying a bunch out but nothing settle yet. I’ve yet to find one that covers everything I need right now.


*hat


I’m not sure… I joined some music ones but it was less easy on the eye than just seeing stuff in the feed so I’ll be more inclined to use hashtags.

Do the group posts just stay in the group or does it filter out?


Someone donate that guy a new hate, poor soul.


Hello!


What about Tidal paying artists direct for streams with transparent accounting and no middle men?


Yes and I want paying in Sats and not having to use an aggregator to put music on there....


Looks interesting...

£ milkshake theory.


Tidal accepting an nsec login is minor cool. What would be cool is direct accounting for musicians with Sats.

What do you say @Jack? This one's on you.


Hot!


I’m thinking I could be the top sock influencer round here, I’ve got loads of socks and people need socks. They just some influence!

I could jet round to conferences doing that I reckon.


If I'm honest there's way much more to do than just collect Sats if we're going to make shit better. Obviously all Zap apps are great but folks are gonna need to short Spotify, YouTube etc. if they like underground music, the business model isn't economically viable for independents.

Sure, if you only dig big artists, that's cool. I'm never going to tell people what they should or shouldn't like. Music is a vibe that can touch the soul and we're all different but without grass roots, that'll die out too. Unless you just want music made by robots?

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek announced he see's the value of music at close to zero Sats. Sure, the cost of recording has come down and many of us work at home. However, guitars still cost Sats, drums, synths, cellos, trumpets... expensive items! Ask any musician what percentage of income goes into gear, I can't think of another profession that does that!? Cutting vinyl ain't cheap and neither is food, clothing and shelter. You're the last people I need to explain inflation to!

My friends and colleagues are worth a lot more than 0 Sats and we've always been awkward, rebellious bastards to the point of it being cliche. We've been pushing back since day dot and we still are, even if we go a bit mental from time to time. I'm not gonna give you life advice.

I'm positive about the future. We do cool, niche, shit! Zap-Stream look interesting and the label I work for have some wicked artists and musicians to showcase, bone fide legends (like seriously). So it's on me to figure out the tech, it may take a minute but I'm sure I'll get there. I'll document as much as I can. If I'm struggling tech wise (baring in mind I have my own home server and Fediverse instance) then your average X or Meta enthusiast is gonna be fucked! Haha.

Anyway, I've clearly had too much caffeine this morning. Back to work...


All good, working away with stuff, thinking how we can build!


Thank you! Early days with Mirlo, they’re trying to be a bit more like the early version of Bandcamp before the Epic buy out. They just completed crowdfunding fi $13k and they seem like nice people, early days but they have quite a bit of support on the Fediverse, worth checking out imo.

Especially now Daniel Ek is saying the cost of music is close to 0 now. I don’t dig his vision!!


Obviously if you want to get the best from a vintage U67 microphone you need to play everything through a megaphone for that rich, warm sound.

Makes sense. I’ve not got as far as exploring the pros and cons of various relays yet. Just mildly annoyed seeing the guy bloviating on my TL. When I click on the account to mute it even says muted on the profile.

I need a Mafia style disappear function!


I wish mutes worked still.

If I don’t like someone, I don’t want to keep seeing them, regardless of whether their latest ‘profound statement’ is trending.


The Freedom Forum? Can’t help but think it’s a larp for folks who aren’t in serious danger. Seems pretty light of the property rights of Palestinians but a lot of entrepreneurs and podcasters get to feel good about themselves.

The blowjob statue is mildly amusing…

How does it differ from any other conferences?

I’ve always thiught what’s the deal with that. Seems more politically motivated and an oportunity for certain people to look good.

If that and other conflicts aren’t front and centre then what the hell is going on there?


This is why I leave my phone exactly halfway between home and work. I check it in the mornings on the way in and again at the end of the day on the way home. This has enabled me to carry on with my life and not need to move to Russia.


Like buns?


I spent most my time in this world feeling out of place amongst people who own btc. At least the online version of them.

I’m going to try and not let that bother me. I always assume most folks will mute me anyway.


Haha!


Wise strategy, the portable telephone isn’t all it’s cracked out to be…

I’ve had my fill of big accounts bloviating morals at me when they’re caked just because they were buying  loads of sniff online in 2013.


I had to train myself not to do any mix stuff until I'm happy with the arrangement. The amount of time I used to compress drums but there was no actual music back in the day is comical.


Looks like they're enjoying themselves!


Thanks Linda, will do. I switch back and forth with Primal mainly for zaps but currently trying to make a better solution so I’m not a using custodial wallet.

With each new thing I want to try I seem to find another bunch of things i need to fix first!


That’s a good call but I do wonder how much of that market will be lost to AI music? No harm in exploring though!


How many times do you need to mute someone on here to actually stop seeing their posts?

Hmm trying to use ZapStream but I select a file to upload but then nothing happens...


Where as regular punks shout and play guitar badly.


Started the process of setting up a live music collective in my area. There’s a cool space and I can handle all the tech details.

One major strength I have is the creative people I count as friends. Once I cover the basics I can get folks down here thinking about V4V.

No way I’m touching Daniel Ek’s willy for  £0.000000001

Maybe we can bring in a sat or two.


X is MySpace for people not cool enough to use HTML on their profile.


I’ve got some work that’s near completion which I’m sending off to publishers etc. but those things are a bit of a lottery, if you get a good film/tv sync it’s great but everyone is after that as there’s still some money in that world.

The YouTube thing is dead I think, soooo many channels explaining how to make music. When I see musicians doing that, it’s often a sign their own music isn’t making any money.

The fact we’re on this platform early is good, there could be opportunity in something new…. I don’t know what that is yet but I’m keen to find it!


And thank you for the strength! Thinks could be worse, I’ve got a stable living situation and I’m feeling positive about making stuff, it’s the business end I really struggle with.


Sound engineer at a small indie label is different to someone building software engines unfortunately!


I get that, it's hard. I have a bunch of thoughts on a bunch of stuff but I'm also prone to bouts of severe depression etc. so I've tried to edit as much of that out as I can as first and foremost, I need to be able to function at the most basic level.

That said, I'm up for some real talk! (No R Kelly).

Yeah WW2 must've been terrifying, especially with WW1 still clear in living memory. There's no one alive now who knows first hand what that was like and now we have people liking to flex about how tough they are without any comprehension of consequence. Maybe it's a cop out but when I surround myself with noises in my shed, things are ok.


When I do a basic analysis of my life I come back to the same problem every time. Money.

Horace Andy once sang Money Is The Route Of All Evil and there's a lot of truth in that but food costs money, shelter costs money. Money costs money.

I've been an independent music maker all my life. I'm a bit odd, I don't fit n places often but when I do, I commit. Like anyone I have strengths and weaknesses and I know myself.

My current income is super low, like seriously and it's currently unsustainable so something has to change.

For context, my partner was working in a drug and alcohol recovery service and a typical amount a heroin addict gets a month in support is equal to what I earn in a month.

I'm not saying this to throw shade on these people, if you knew the life stories behind them, you would be truly horrified. My wish is that they can recover and rebuild their lives without judgemental bullshit holding them back.

The point is, I need to up the anti, whilst maintaining my independence. I'm going to try some things out, see what sticks. V4V is very interesting. If we were pure Austrian about it, you'd say I bought very little economic benefit to the world. So what, should I kill myself? I tried that once, overall the experience scores low on the fun-o-meter so I do not recommend.

I'm making new music, I'm experimentation with this radio thing, whilst keeping my engineering job and little community gig going, I love working at a credible indie label, even if the money is shit, the vibe is right for me.

Anyway, bit of a waffle but just to say I'm working on it, in my own way, the best that I can. I'm trying new things. V4v seems like a workable model. I donm't want to be a performing monkey for some corp and I want to reduce the amount of spying on me, be it government or corporation!

I know there has to be a way through somehow.

Fully up for chats with like minded people, especially people trying to earn a coin in this new world order.

Hello


As I said last week, I'm starting my own weekly radio show playing all the weird and wonderful music I've collected over the years.

At the moment this is hosted on my PeerTube instance. I still can't get my head round streaming for sats. Looked at  WavLake and Fountain but there doesn't appear to be info for hosting a straight up music show, unless it's content already on the platform. There's Nu-Mu but I'm scared by the code... I use YunoHost for self hosting which is super simple.

I didn't want that to hold me back though!

Self hosting radio with sats will happen. Just a lot to get my head round.

Episode 1 features a bass, breaks and bleeps DJ set I did way back in 1991. Every week will be different so if this isn't your bag, maybe next week will be. The emphasis will be on more underground or unusual stuff though, from Electro to Jazz, from Reggae to Middle Eastern, to whatever I feel like doing. There's a LOT of music to share!

Ps. If anyone has info on how I could stream for sats via my own web domain, that would be amazing!

When I see that sort of stuff I always think of a 17 year old kid in their bedroom being edgy on the internet for kicks, they're clearly trying to illicit a response and if you don't give one, they tend to disappear (although I assume it's still replying as when I try a new client, it's back again). I can see a lot of people thinking that's a hard no from them though.

Now I know what you mean by a hell thread it makes more sense. I envisioned it more like a pile on, which even done in good faith, could be a bit overwhelming.

Maybe a bot that responded to introductions with a simple guide to Nostr? That would be pretty cool IMO, although way over my skill level!

Hashtags are cool.

Morning


A little while back there was an old bazillion aircraft carrier going for $19 mil. Way out of my budget but I thought could be a fun home…

6 billy is a lot…. What are they going to do with it?


The concept of a hell thread is new to me. I didn’t come from X so not familiar with the term. On the Fediverse I follow the introductions tab and say hi to new people, just as a courtesy, I think it’s a nice thing to do.

If it’s more creating a massive thread for them, maybe not so good? Especially if bots are involved? My first experience on Nostr was a bit spouting racist bullshit on every post I made. Not the best welcome…

Helping them with links to guides and stuff is great. An tell them how to mute things asap!


Sounds like the ‘trending’ tab is not for me.

I like my socials like I like my carrots, organic.

I’ve really been digging my Pockey Operator for drums lately, I used to spend hours on drums but my current mood is keeping drums simple and playing with analogue delays a lot. No doubt I’ll get to battalion those, the unfiltered audio stuff is wicked.

Gig tonight, nice little venue just opened up, hour drive from  home.

Doesn’t look like an sats joint but hopefully the coffee’s good.

They put on a workshops for kids during the day too so that’s a good vibe.


Giraffe’s never get a mention either and I’ve been giraffish for a while now.

Good to hear Linda!


Thank you, gonna check that out now! :)


Has anyone here tried streaming for sats direct from their own website? Does a tool exist for such a thing? Streaming direct from my own domain would be perfect. The only babylon I'd have to deal with would be the hosting platform.

I know Fountain exists and I've messaged them, I'm looking to explore as many options as possible but please bare in mind, my experience is in music, not coding so I've only ever done basic command line stuff!


Wicked….


Finally had an idea about something I can do to earn a sat or two (thanks Duh Lorien)...

Music is FUCKING HARD but for nearly 30 years I've sustained myself in it... on the underground from DJ to engineer, programmer, writer and sometimes performer.

I've never been overground, I've never wanted to be overground and you've never heard of me but I've maintained myself.

Honestly though, these days I'm struggling In fact since 2008. My income peaked around then. That's what bought me here. I don't chat the corn but I've been around for a minute.

Most folks in btc seem pretty minted, finance heads, tech guys, entrepreneurs etc. which is cool, all power to you but it's not me.

AI is gonna rinse music so hard but I want to build a niche in being a human. AI art is fucking junk, derivative shite made for ad execs and people who like listening to Moby lol. Fuck that noise!

I'm a weirdo who makes odd noises. Always have been.

But, I'm fully, 100% cool with that. I'm here, I'm me. I don't need to call myself RegionalHodlXXL9000 and tell folks how they should live their lives while profiling funny eyes. We all know the deal with where the world is at. We got rinsed in 2008 and it never stopped.

I have tones of music to share, mixes, rare records, tapes etc. It'll range from Electronica, old Jungle, jazz, Hip Hop, Reggae, Dub, African, Middle Eastern, Prog Rock, Funk, Soul, stuff I've made, stuff I've engineered, things friends have made. A bit of history here and there.

30 years deep and apologetically me. It won't be to everyone's taste. It will be to mine, on the whim of whatever I'm feeling that day!

I'm a niche, within a niche, within a niche. Niche is cool. Niche is human. Fuck the killer robots with their space lasers and TV aerials channeling X bollocks and fuck the Greys in their gated community.

The first output from this human will be tomorrow, soon as I figure out how to stream on Fountain. If this sounds relevant to your interests, come join me. If you like it, bo0ost it. If you don't, we can still chat on Nostr or the Fediverse, never Meta, X or Tick Tack.

I'll probably say fuck a lot, just in case you hadn't noticed....

Will check out the show when I’m at my desktop…


Wishing you good energy for it, whatever it is. 🤟🏽


Also… I really like the idea of FountainFM but their data collection policy has stopped me putting it on my phone. I’m tired of companies using me as a data generation service.

The dream would be streaming sats from my own web domain. Obviously there’s a lot of challenges in that!


Now you’re talking! That’s what I’m striving for right now.

I stopped using streaming services a few years back now. I host my own stuff on PeerTube but there’s no income stream for that.

Very interested to hear what you’re doing there!

Morning.


Wow was it that easy all along? Been rich for years and didn’t even notice.


Freshly digitised tape with DJ Hype, Fantasy FM early 1990. 3 years before he started making Jungle!

Also Stacey B on Sunrise FM, maybe 1989? It's a chop of 2 other tapes (definitely lost)

Very lofi (and not what kids call Lofi) heavily over saturated and compressed in true pirate radio tape style!

New EP is shaping but nice. Final bass parts done, just waiting to get a sax part recorded but the player is out on the road for the next couple of weeks.

Starting to think about cover art... Gonna have a go myself but might end up setting a little budget for an artist.

In all honesty, I'm not feeling any AI stuff I've seen, it all has the same kind of feel, regardless of input. I'd rather use something human.

Humans are a niche interest now!


I read that study with rats. Very interesting.


Nooooooooooooo 😂


I do that quite often now... and have the same issue with my other half!


Worth it, although you'll likely spend the next month hiding from everything...

I went back to an old Nokia burner after but then got totally frustrated every time I got a text and had to respond.


Call me paranoid but…

Oh hai Paranoid Butt!


That’s a no from me. Also, who the hell would want to know what a corporation listens to on Spotify?!

Baffled.


I read Tau’s book. Interesting seeing how all these surveillance survives came about.


General Motors.


How loud is it?


Never say never.


No


I thought that’s why you folks had loads of guns?!


KJU is a boss.


Is it though? BlueSky is just some next corp larping as an open, decentralised thingy.

That said, I've never made an account because of the reasons above.


Saifedean Ammous's sinuses though...


Balloon warfare is much kinder than nuclear warfare.


Until Tiday pay musicians properly they can do one as far as I'm concerned.


Fediverse been saying that since 2022. To be fair, it’s doing all right.

North Korea is cool! Well at least trolling SK like that is.

No, like institutionalised for being mental.


Today I go to a studio to work with an artist and musician. It’ll be at least a year until the record comes out and the label will likely shift around 3,000 copies on vinyl. It will also go on streaming but no one bothers counting. The artist will tour, make enough money to get by for the year. The label will recoup eventually.

We’re clearly not doing this for money but we still exchange ideas in the same time and space. Less than 20 years ago.

Also, there’s still a chance I’ll get sectioned one day. Free healthcare, no housing or food costs. Win!


Morning!


It’s certainly unfortunate as I’m a sound engineer by trade.

Music media is going to zero but music is also culture. Is culture going to zero? Maybe, I don’t know but at this stage, I don’t know where to pivot so I’ll stubbornly make weird noises in my shed, regardless of Robicop’s new album.

By the time culture hits zero I’ll be dead anyway.


Not heard of that before. I take it it’s open?

Will investigate, likewise I use Nextcloud but it is slow. I always put it down to my server.


Fortunately I’ve always been lower class so less to lose…


Staying on the darker side of things, I put this out a couple of years back with my band Liotia, which is myself and singer/writer Abi. This one's more dubby with a relentless bass line courtesy of Doug Wimbish.

My Volvo's a solid 2012 Diesel model and was about 1/6th the cost of an electric when I bought it last year. Got a good few years in it yet. I know a few people with Volvos that have lasted for a very long time, that was the deciding factor. It'll be very hard to buy a dumb car in a few years. Don't want a car that locks the doors and takes me to the cops because I farted bad.


But NVK has got a very big mouth which is always open...


Teslas sound fun...

I'm sticking with my old Volvo until is dies. It's a fully dumb car and is solely reliant on my incompetence to fuck up.


Is magic open source though?


Also humans are cool and hard and can drink booze before they get in a car. SDCs will never be capable of that. Only a software glitch can compare.

I think the price movement is due to trading. Just the same corns going back and forth.

However, I have zero trust of these people. Figures vary but there’s waaaayyy more ‘gold’ traded than gold on earth.

Crooks gonna crook.


Disagree. Vote Local Nutter. Tactical voting just gives us the same bunch of cunts we’ve got now, except the PMs name will be Kieth.


Paper corn…


Thanks for listening!


X is a webpage for people who don’t matter.


A horse and magic mushrooms. Peng.


Banks are bad but corporations suck too!


Innit, thieving the whole internet!


I think so, the Fediverse was similar when I joined in 2019 although way more queer and furry. Then Elno bought Dorsey’s website then the culture changed a fair bit.


Haha really?! Makes sense, I swear I saw Sam Altman creeping round my bins.


I’m midway between that and something else, been a nihilist for sure. Trying to do better, despite my online persona I’m fairly moral. I’m in no position to tell anyone else how to live though.

If wanting to spend my time in my shed making weird music makes me a libertine, I’ll let Pete know!


I know Pete Doherty is partial to a bit of heroin but he’s the only Libertine I know. (Not doxxing, it’s widely known already). He appears to enjoy himself.


Morning!


Word. Funny eyes, hodl, freedom = Boring. Tools exist, people use them, etc. it’s fine, pretty sure everyone here knows.

I’ve always thought X was a rubbish website. Never been into the algorithm gaming rage for profit.

I’ve not been on Meta/X/LinkedIn since 2019 when I deleted all websites I don’t vibe with. Now trying Nostr. Maybe it’ll do an X but as it’s a protocol it certainly has the potential to do a lot more.

I’ll always prefer indies where you can smell where the money ends up.


So checking my BC account is an act of defiance? Cool.

Also on Wavlake if you have some sats you don't need right now.


Haha! I hope so...


Sounds riveting.


Not from me you haven't...


Still making significantly more from Bandcamp/Mirlo than from V4V services but still more from V4V than Spotify etc.

Maybe this is more cultural? Bandcamp and Mirlo attract an audience very specifically into niche and Indie sounds where as Wavlake seems best for songs specifically about Bitcoin.

Here's some Hip Hop I made with my friend Joe back in 2008. It's a niche indie sound and, incidentally talks of ponzi economics before the whole btc thing even happened.

I've yet to discover in the code what forces people into making profound, definitive statements. It must be in there somewhere.


Also self fart sniffing is big round these parts.


For a second I thought you were saying someone had hacked Doom into the Twitter interface. That would’ve taken things to a whole new level.


The wonder of pollution, always makes the sky look good!

Lighting folks do the same, a little bit of fog goes a long way.


When you’re writing clearly can you also include factual next time…


That doesn’t hold up. If you’re rich theres an abundance of ways to avoid tax. If you’re poor, it’s taken from you before you even see your money.


I think we all have…


There’s a face to progressive bitcoin? Good to know….

Oi! Yeah you with the face!! Do some progressing!!!

Agreed. I think the best thing is be the change you want to see. Talk about your interests then hopefully likeminded folks will interact.

I spent a long time not following anyone with funny eyes, that helped a bit. I’m blocking accounts that only post btc memes.

Still low on interaction. I’ve hashtaged my interests in my profile.

What app are you using with filters? On the Fedi I have loads that make it much more interesting to me.


Time for another 2 PMs before the election imo.


nsec eradicates the most common issue with Fedi sign ups. I still can’t get my head around getting my PeerTube and Masto instances to talk to each other.

Give me Assange over Ross every time. Not that either is a choice. It’s all calculated grandstanding.

I can’t get my head round libertarians cheering for a presidential candidate (even if they booed something else).

The whole thing cancels any shite they’re larping about being anarchic-capitalist.

I’m in another country but I’m only voting for Local Nutter this time round, not National Psychopath.


Totally agree with the first two  paragraphs, not so sure about the last. Or at least it doesn’t mention the violence involved.

One example would be Australia, clearly reorganised as a result of the British desire for punishing wrong doers so the majority of early arrivals were not doing so through choice, nor was this to the benefit of the people already there. Thousands of which were slaughtered.

I think it’s sensible to consider the violence these types of migration involve. Much of which was done to satisfy monarchs desire for cool shit while they chilled at home,


Exactly!


Some bloke in the USA said something apparently.

I wonder if being a human making stuff on the internet will become enough of a weird niche to become valuable to 1000 people?

I’d be cool with that.

Stop picking holes in what I say. I’m here for throwaway comments.


I thought libertarians weren’t into politics? lol.


I thought it was an orange?

When I say social media I mean platforms that are gamified to maximise eyeballs for advertising and other shit.

Apologies for the slack labelling,

And….. it’s not much of a social media when I only have actual dialogue with 4 people, more like a chat room.


I still prefer one over the other and I haven’t touched either in years.


It’s all just paper anyway… OK I know you do PoR but the others don’t.

Blackrock printer goes ssssaaaaaattttttsssss


It’s just paper imo…


No skin in the dev game. That explains all the blotches.


Did you ask him about his skincare regime?


Caffeine type headaches are nuts. I used to drink around 10 cups a day, got it down to two but really wasn’t ready for that headache when I first stopped! You have my sympathies.


I was trying to link Zeus to my RasPi but struggled. Seeing other people having issues makes me think I’ll just crack on with Primal until a more solid solution exists.

Am I doing this right? As an LLM I’m still trying to get the hang of humanity.
https://m.primal.net/IMpX.jpg


Fair play. I still like the Fediverse a lit, made some good friends there but this place is super intersting too.

Anything is better than Zuck’s dystopian hell hole or Elno’s new toy.


You seen kids when they sniff or smoke toothpaste?! That shit is totally crazy…


Wow, if you couldn’t how on earth have I managed?!

I know it’s hard, I can’t code and I’ve sunk hours into Yunohost and Linux to get a home server running. My note was tongue in cheek but also there’s also so much reliance on the big platforms who are niw taking everything we ever made as fodder for LLMs and such like.

Personally I’m trying to push back in whatever way i can, even if it is only baby steps.


He’s got the drums, just needs the bass…


The '1000 true fans' idea will be realized with value for value imo and will bring back the 'middle ground' for artists making a meaningful portion of their revenue stream through recorded music again which has been lost with the rise of current day streaming platforms.


I’ve friends that set up credible indie labels back in the day, despite only ever charting once, that bought in enough to have offices in London and Tokyo as well as keeping a team of musicians eating.

Nowadays it barely keeps two people ticking over despite great reviews, national press and decent sized gigs.

Mad innit. V4V is what brings me here, my music is niche, it’ll never be big time but it’s decent. Let’s see what happens…


This shouldn’t be seen as an attempt to influence you (buy my music) at all.


It’s horrible that a lot of artists are now just seen as ‘content’.

It prevents me being fully happy and content…

Music is music, you might love it, you might hate it’s a personal preference and tastes vary.

That said, if the aim is just to sell socks, then burn in hell (unless they’re really, really, REALLY nice socks).


I can jive with that.


So as that post about microplastics went ‘viral’ George has decided to pose nicely for #Caturday.

What better way to start a conversation about inflation than the over priced snacks on a flight…


Also a more thoughtful response… that maybe peoples’ first step to a better online world. Huge amounts came to the Fediverse in 2022 when Elno bought X.

Call it a gateway drug to the open internet! I still like the Fediverse a lot, I’ve made lots of friends there. I host my on Mastodon, PeerTube as well as Matrix but non of that would’ve happened had I stayed in Zuckerberg’s hell hole. I’ve learned a lot and I’m thankful for that.


Is this someone using alt text on Nostr?!?!!

Cool!


Bollocks. My server, my rules.


Unless you self host… which is actually just being sovereign, something folks bang on about all the time but don’t really act on.

Thanks. Whould be great to make Openvibe my main login but I lose my custom emojis from the Fedi (I have a full range of Phil Collins emojis) and I cant zap.

Maybe that’ll be possible someday?


You must be using it wrong…


Testing out some new apps both Nos.Social snd Openvibe.

Very cool seeing interoperability happening. The Fediverse is still my online home but Nostr is very interesting and I’m building up folks to interact with here.

I have one question though, with an nsec, what typically happens when you login? Could nsec’s be at risk if projects dont get maintained? I’ve been quite gungho trying out new platforms.

At least now there's an ETF there can be 50 million BTC...


A ‘new’ one from me. Actually a collection of unreleased tracks from 2008 with a UK Hip Hop vibe. A couple feature my good friend Joe aka YoshOne.

The mixes are a bit crunchy but I still like them. It’s a moment in time.

Hmm… to be honest I don’t want a single ID linking me to every online service I use.

Anyway, I’d rather use platforms where musicians get paid. Tidal may pay more than Spotify but the splits are still pretty lousy.


Wow. At least you know the Chinese gov isn’t interested in you.


Anyone here gone through the process of deleting themselves from the internet? I understand this is possible or am I wrong/stupid?

I’m sure some traces remain regardless but I’m considering switching ALL online activity to this pseudonym (with the exception of email/credits).

I’ve deleted as much data with stuff I can control but going hardcore would be cool.

I’ve never been comfortable with my online identity and the shitter the net gets, the less I want to be associated with it.

Can I entice you to listen to my 2023 album Psychedelic Ghost Stories? 10 tracks of weird, spacy post-industrial psychedelia, alien electro dub, & the music you hear in a bad dream. Wizard synth anthems and ghostwave jams; sounds like tripping on Halloween.

You must’ve heard Stay? Still a big xm0ss song.


Only mute as far as I know.


MLC suing Spotify because Spotify are cunts.

Good.

Daniel Elk isn’t even a proper elk.

How are they going to know though if they’re not on here?

Maybe you should join Facebook and post this there?


Excellent. When’s the Roommate’s thing happening?


Bob Marley

Yeah didn’t they die out several hundred thousands of years ago? Like East 17


Fair play for trying to make something even shitter than Facebook.


What’s an instrgan?


That's OK, the future is a social construct.


They are good cars but I prefer Volvo


Well done!


Still one of my favourite clips... https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=ZiyAuH7tI7w


You should hook up with Alessio Rastani…


Morning! At first I thought why have you got that massive console in a field…

Sam Altman really is a scumbag.

Worth checking the Surveillance Report podcast each week, they give good summaries of breeches etc.


General Motors


Nice


What about in the pool?


I didn’t say live and let live but appreciate the word salad. 👊🏼


Americans talk in riddles sometimes.


Appreciate hearing from someone there, my uncle worked in Tehran for a number of years but sadly passed last year. Without that contact, I have no way of verifying what’s going on there,  got family in Lebanon but obviously that’s a whole other story.


I often witness people around me. I’m not sure if I like it to be honest.


Elf Techno Futility


Indeed, that’s what I thought… I’m actually reliant on music for my income as a sound engineer (mostly studio but some live).

I’m getting on a bit and my gut tells me to double down but the sense of insecurity is always front of mind.

At this point I really don’t know where I would pivot to with my skill set. I’m always up for learning new things but if the industry is toast, finding another industry that I can enter at a decent level is baffling to be honest.


Morning! Lovely doggo.


Hmm I see a fair amount of evidence to the contrary round these parts.


With #ML (it's not #AI) music coming along are music makers dumb motherfuckers continuing their craft?

Before someone says Live Music will prevail, most artists are barely breaking even on the road. Unlesas you mean Taylor Swift being the only gig.

Feel free to say whatever the fuck you like (but keep it on topic, cheers).


They're welcome to it, I expect planet earth to be rather dull after I'm dead...

Yeah we have to have some hope of a miracle.


gm, today is an important day for #Julian #Assange and for press freedom all around the world. Today, we'll see how much integrity the UK court system really has (or how corrupt it really is). The US wasn't able to guarantee first amendment rights for Assange because that is something a US judge would have to decide when in court. They also said they wouldn't prosecute Assange on death penalty offences but if they're going to lock him up in a small concrete cube without windows for multiple life sentences, what's the difference?

Both of their guarantees are nothing but empty words and legal sleight of hand. Journalism isn't illegal, exposing government corruption, overreach and killing of civilians isn't illegal. There is no reason Julian should be in jail anywhere. #FreeAssangeNOW

Hmm promiscuous folks are doing pretty good when it comes to breeding...

I support (almost) anything that brings housings costs down.


Thanks, much appreciated.


And it implies every man finds the same things attractive.

Perhaps there should be an LLM assigned to average out the ideal attractive woman...


Freedom oriented folks banging on about how other people should lead their lives is bollox imo.

Live the life that works for you.


True but ultimately I’d like to earn a few pence from my music so having loads of accounts is counter productive.

I’ve always struggled with the issue. For years I was only known as Kim Jong Un online.


Morning, nice hat!


Good to know. On primal here, still waiting for my node to sync.

Q: do you think it’s best to scrap this nsec and start again from a privacy point of view, once I have my new set up ready?

I try to keep up with stuff but Nostr is still pretty new to me.


Eric Burden is such a wicked singer. His albums with War are some of my all time faves.


So you’re saying my plan to hide under the table is wrong?! Damn.


When does the new man drop? I’m still on man  v1.8.7


Been into human interactions for a minute, mostly because I deleted all Meta products, LinkedIn etc. back in 2019.

I prefer to chose the humans I interact with rather than have robots do it for me.


I’ve no problem doing that… I am old but what really gets my goat is these new fangled LLMs.


There’s some clips that did the rounds on the Fediverse a while back where someone pulled newspaper clips over 100 years with the same story about how the young generation are work shy, good for nothings.

No matter the decade, someone will be complaining about the kids.


Old people always think the next generation are soft.


Help!


Nooooooooo


I don’t like memes.

Ok some are quite funny. They leave the internet swimming in detritus.


What’s the obsession with Aryan memes about?


Yeah it is, I still have maximum up time though. Poor Stux.


Apparently so.


Well if you listen to Sgt Pepper backwards it clearly says Mark Zuckerberg is the Antichrist


I’m off to listen to Beatles records backwards now for some proper satanic vibes…


Yes it is, it’s like seeing faces in curtains or walls. Humans have a vivid imagination.

I mean we already knew he was a lizard, this changes nothing.


Nice.  I did have a NUC node that was faster but it became unreliable so I’ve retired it to lighter duties.

Now the big question is do I trash this nsec as I’ve been using primal and start a fresh. Hmm….


No SSD on a 4gb ras pi


Planning to do the same…. After two weeks mine is at 96% maybe done tomorrow eve I guess.

Cunts. Yes I know.


Don’t worry, I have them both filed under cunts.


People power.


And here we have a Taiwanese Parliament member who reportedly stole a bill and ran away with it to stop it from being passed🙄

That’s better, some actual action.

I think it’s Turkey where they just have massive core ups. Also Georgia (the country) is having some good scraps right now.


Classic


lol we’re all going to hell in a handcart.


Telegram is a shit on lol


It amazes me that people smart enough to do something like that aren’t smart enough not to get caught.


Don’t know what I’m doing today. It’s a day of mystery.

However, my glasses have broken so there is that to contend with. This may hinder progress.


It’s not relevant to my interests.


Could be an interesting wake up call if time lines are full of it.

I’m not a libertine so I don’t have to do the mental gymnastics to justify censoring it.

If it becomes an uncontrollable problem I’ll just go elsewhere.


I think there’s a difference between the decisions a 14 year old might make vs an adult. Coercion is a real thing, especially when talking about minors.

We’re talking about child porn, not run of the mill porn with adults. They are not the same.


If the picture is created from an abusive process, it’s creating demand for abuse to take place. Therefore…

I appreciate your point of view but I don’t share it.


Sorry should have said civil war… Lolita is typically used to describe underage girls. If someone’s ‘casually’ enjoying pics of underage girls then abuse is happening somewhere so I don’t see it as casual. Nonce enabler is perhaps a better way to describe.

I don’t interact with the loli fans on Fedi, I think it’s odd.

Most people have some sort of moral hierarchy, with even the most libertine often drawing a line at child sexual abuse.

I don’t fall into that camp. If people want to censor CP I’m happy about it because I don’t want to see it.

But I’m in Europe’s where we’re massively into communism anyway.


Is the 28 or 29? Also what is Netherlan?

Without knowing any details I’m not drawing any conclusions but I’m pretty sure it has nothing to do with central banking.

Unless the reason she want to die is to get out of paying back a loan or something. Even then, it’s unlikely to be anything to do with central banks, more likely a high street bank.


No one likes nonces… (UK meaning, not BTC).

A lot of ‘freedom’ is a larp.. It’s a nice concept but it doesn’t line up with reality. If it was deep I think there would be another US revolution, after all that’s why loads of people have guns.

America is a violent empire. Most folks don’t care, so long as the people being killed by the US gov are thousands of miles away.


Oh wow, thanks for the heads up!


Nice, look forward to hearing what you come up with!


General Motors


No. Google Authenticator Cloud Sync is still not end-to-end encrypted. So even Google could potentially access a user's 2fa codes.


Haha!

I call it legacy web page.


Cool, I’ll check it out when I’m back in my shed.


The Clean Cut Blade: My Most Extreme Contemporary Noise Album

The Clean Cut Blade is my most extreme contemporary noise album that I've created. It was a conscious decision made at the peak of my popularity in the traditional heavy music scene. As a band, we mostly created linear songs, and I always felt there were more ways to express my artistic views, feelings, and deep emotions. I felt confined within a formula I wanted to break, and this album was the direct effect of working with different mediums, machines, instruments, software, and hardware devices.

At one point, my gear was running non-stop for a week. I took short breaks to sleep and rest a little, and would wake up to tweak a little more. The entire session was recorded continuously for a week. I reached the edge of my mental capabilities and decided it was enough. The material then awaited an editing session, which was a unique and challenging process. Unsure of how to approach it, I asked a friend for some movie recommendations to inspire me. He sent me some amazing old black-and-white Japanese samurai movies.

I watched these movies multiple times, muting their audio and playing my recordings underneath. This process inspired me to cut the recordings into pieces and get titles for the songs. The movies had a direct impact on the final album. Eventually, I decided to publish the album to see how far I could take my artistic freedom while still being treated seriously as an artist.

I posted the album on archive.org as a great experiment. As expected, both public fans and media were not ready for it at all. Many people thought it was garbage or that I was making fun of them, but it was a serious and deeply personal work. It remains my most underappreciated work, with no serious reviews to this day. Despite this, I still love it and am excited to share it on a new platform today.

Important Note: For everyone who wants to listen to this, please be very conservative with the level of sound as you operate through the album. The levels here are very surprising, and the sound is very extreme. If you put your gear at full volume, it might harm your speakers. Please be careful as it is an extreme audio work.
