 Amazing panel at @MoneroTopia, you get monero extra street creed points if you know who is who in this photo:

 Oh, that? It's just a #MoneroNodo connected to a #Starlink on top of a table on top of a table on top of another table, the night before @MoneroTopia Totally normal setup.

 And that's a @monerujo synced with a #MoneroNodo connected through a #Starlink:

After much tinkering I have the monero.garden little zines ready for @MoneroTopia. These are printed on recycled paper and handcrafted, cut and sewed. Drop by the @monerujo table to grab one. 🌿

 Spielberg's camera feels like the consciousness of the spectator. 

Zemeckis' camera feels like the consciousness of the director.

My random cinema two cents of the day.

 #XMRBazaar now has 1115 listings (68.5% of MoneroMarket) 
 I thought XMRBazaar was bigger than MoneroMarket.

 Lately I've been using LocalSend to send files or text between desktop and mobile. It's great: clean UX, works without tinkering, free, open source:

 Congrats to the @cakewallet team for keeping implementing privacy features of The Other Coins™, since it seems huge chunks of their respective communities have different priorities.

 Anyone happy for crypto's institutional adoption should read the Pied Piper of Hamelin again. 
 Testing ProCCD on #android. Nice image customization on the free tier if you're looking for some warmer analog-like look.

 If you've been given permission it's not disruptive. 
 Friendly reminder not to engage with bait. Not even to mock it. Indifference is our only weapon here. 
 Estoy buscando a alguien en CDMX para dar una charla introductoria en español a #nostr en Monerotopia el mes que viene. Sugerencias? Voluntarios? #hispano #mexico

 I'm doing an Alien franchise watch, I only vaguely remembered watching the 4th one when I was a kid. So far I've crossed out the first three. Very interesting to see all different directors' take on the same theme, kinda like the first 4 Mission Impossible movies. 
 The first one surprised me a lot. Ridley Scott is a true craftsman. It looks incredible. If I have to be honest, the one I've enjoyed the most so far is the third one, which after knowing all the drama behind it, I was expecting it to be really bad. 
 What's this? Independent wallet or garnet? 
 Nice! I thought Mysu was abandoned but I think it's great that someone forked it and it's gonna maintain it. 
 Absolutely. The more options the better. 
 Listening to this on an old Sony boombox that I modded with a cheap Bluetooth receiver, for maximum irony.

 German culture instills a strong sense of following the rules in its citizens. I wonder if that's... 
 I think it's more like Argentina. They have a very strong precedent (even if ages ago) of hyperinflation. But I think it's reinforced by their love of cash, and giving the government as little information profiling as possible. They've learned their lesson. I'm sure that's why there are so many #monero users AND nodes as well. Plus they have a very strong hacking community.

 My current health plan is:

 Short. Useful. It really works. Start with at least one of those today. Add another next week. Stick to it until becomes second nature. ✊

 I kept adding details to it and immediately removing them lol. 
 I'd do it in negative in that case so #nostr is of a blinding white. 🙂 
 Lincolnshire Poacher vibes ftw. 
 You could play that melody on the trumpet and fade it from the station's recording. 
 It looks like I finally got my NIP-05 solved, thanks to a nudge from  @pluja. Are you seeing it ok? 
 Great reading from Bitrefill for anyone interested in the real crypto economy:

 Please do! We have many UX ideas that we never got around to implement. 😐 Looking forward to what you come up with! 
 It looks like government does not want to catch criminals, or pedophiles, or terrorists. It just wants to control free speech. Otherwise it would not go after non-encrypted, massive apps like Telegram where it's easy to harvest intelligence from. That only wakes up users to the existence of more hardcore options like Signal, SimpleX, Session, etc. 
 Last night, my kids fell asleep to Brian Eno playing from a cassette into the aux in of their D-c... 
 The other day I found an old vinyl record of Eno's + Frapp Evening Star and played subtly while the kids did homework. Slowly inception them into something that's not latin-trap-thing (nothing wrong with those jams but they surely need some variety into their music diet) 
 Monero has fossilized narrative and evolving codebase. Bitcoin has evolving narrative and fossilized codebase. 
 TIL Gupax is not really maintained anymore but there's Gupaxx (a fork) which is, that includes the XMRvsBeast hashrate raffle and will (hopefully) embed a local node for maximum cypherpunk mode. #monero #mining https://github.com/Cyrix126/gupaxx 
 Yes, you totally can. I'm running the CLI daemon and Gupax in parallel. No issues whatsoever.

 My guilty pleasure are these very cheap ($0.75 USD) Mad Men era records praising stereo:

Bossa Nova is a Brazilian thing, but you'll find plenty and cheap of those around here as well.

 It's a very well made movie, easy to appreciate if you don't approach it as a romantic comedy (which is not).

 I've made the jump from Firefox to Brave with sadness like 2 or 3 years ago. I don't like to help the Chromium dominance,  I don't like the BAT token, nor the GUI, I don't even like the lion logo, but if I try to be objective, Brave provides the best browsing experience for almost any user. It blocks enough stuff by default while working without issues with most of the websites.
