 Experiencing too much comfort will reduce your future capacity for experiencing pleasure and reduce your tolerance for enduring setbacks.

“When pleasures have corrupted both mind and body, nothing seems to be tolerable, not because the suffering is hard, but because the sufferer is soft.”
- Seneca the Younger 
 Nice. Next one to beat is Social Security expenditure 🫡. 
 This is serious stuff 🧐  
 I need a BTC-LN swap service so that I can deposit on-chain and receive on my LN address. Any recommendations?

No mercy. 
 Parece que este invierno viene duro 🥹

 I’m getting HTTP status code 508 Resource Limit Is Reached  
 I’ve been trying this instead of grabbing a beer. I think it’s helping.

 You may not want nostr algorithms and unlike legacy platforms, you won't be forced to use them.

 You are going to be the next Zuckerberg 😛 
 $69,420 top confirmed  
 It’s a nice top tho  
 yikes, my GPG key expired last month 
 I'm going to need a moment to pull that master key and do what needs to be done on an airgapped machine. 
 I’m obsessed 
 I use Keepa for almost everything I buy on Amazon that is not essential.

I set up a price watch and whenever there’s a significant price drop or deal I get a notification.

I can also see the price history on any item which helps me make a better decision.

Keepa has saved me a few $$ for sure and I am glad I’ve never had to pay for it! 
 I get the notification on Telegram but I think they notify by email as well. I don’t use any app, they have a browser extension but you don’t need it either.

Just go to Keepa website, create an account and paste the Amazon or ebay link on the search bar. 
 Banks? when have the banks faced the consequences of their actions 
 what tool can i use to quickly convert hex to nsec? 
 @Fabian I am unable to add a local relay to Nostur. I add the relay as ws://localhost:8008/ and save, but when I open the relay edit page and hit connect the URL changes to ws://localhost08
Looks like Nostur is truncating the URL 
 GM Nostr!

Excited for the upcoming Nostrember! #MarchOffAllOtherSocialMedia  
 One of the most difficult decisions a Nostr client faces is whether to fix an incorrect or non-co... 
 Second round is on me. Wonder what will happen o.o 
 It’s time relays move to have a pubkey to become addressable beyond dns

💫 
 Next stop: relays gossiping  
 Add motion sensor and spray them with glitter, paint, and foul smelling substance  
 Make the steps reversible and add oil to one side 😌 
 🛑 Stop ✋ This algorithm is highly illegal in multiple jurisdictions!

 Bought the dip. 
 We haven’t mooned yet so this must be the dip 🤣 
 You can be right or politically correct

 If your support is no better than asking ChatGPT don’t even bother offering it ✌️ 
 There’s no such thing as Spotify Premium when it comes to Podcasts. 
 Does it work for mobile? 
 Inflationary money is a parasite used to infect the common people 
 I should get more coffee in me before I start *working* 
 Couldn't do it any other way 
 Good morning, Nostr ☕️

Thanks for all the Aurora Borealis pictures last night :)  
 It's weird to see external people that are aligned with Nostr's goals and even the overall design... 
 Aligned in name only  
 Little Snitch 6 does not work well with MacOS Sequoia 15

TCP connections fail after some time due to corrupted data in the TCP stream.

That means your `ssh` connections will randomly die without explanation, and other apps that work with long-lived TCP connections will experience similar issues. 
 How is this better than every dev just using a random npub? 
 Sounds fair but also:
You could use the same npub to repost the random npubs? That way the npub people follow does not change and does not need to be shared. It’s just a suggestion. 
 @pkt congratulations 🎉

 Peace, freedom, control✌️ is the prize

Xitter, Threads and the rest are for doomscrolling, where your emotions are controlled by the algorithm so that you keep engaging, buying stuff you don’t need and squandering your attention on rage-baiting insignificant posts.

I did it last year and it was great for me because it kind of forced me to explore the world of Nostr even more: I curated my feed (my follows are my algo), discovered new apps, and met new people that I now consider my Nostr tribe (they don’t know that). 
 No editing. The street light was annoying, I’m sure a lot of details is masked by it 😞 
 I thought the same but this is like the second time this year where we can see the auroras near the 45 degree latitude  
 I’d like to set up a Meshtastic in the attic but will have to seal it tight and hook it up to electricity… there’s none there because it’s unfinished. 
 Looks cool but I don’t know if it will survive Ottawa winters
