 Running #notedeck. @Will 
 LOL, and the curve begins with learning how to properly mention someone. npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s 
 Just bought a UPS for my nodes and server. The one I got can send a graceful shutdown signal to m... 
 Might try https://networkupstools.org instead of running a vendor's software. It's surely packaged for your distribution. I have no experience with your UPS. 
 Reunited and it feels so good nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 
 Inspired. Re-running @damus. 
 What are the recommended wallets for doing NWC these days?

 git just nuked about 4 hours of work. I had a bunch of stuff in the staging area... then I typed ... 
 `git fsck --lost-found` probably still has your files as `git show`-able blob objects, potentially in a haystack of other old, dangling objects. Tedious to recover, but they're probably there. 🤷‍♂️  
 Gm ☕️ 🤙 🫂,  do you ever wake up from sleeping all stupid and your arm is numb? 😑 
 100%. I always wonder whether it does permanent damage. #asknostr 
 iOS is hard to use. 
 If you type two spaces, iOS will replace the two spaces with a period followed by a space. (In a typical text field. Hopefully that isn't an option I set long ago and forgot wasn't a default.) 
 Also, if you *press and hold* the "123" key, which switches to the punctuation keyboard, you can drag your finger over the period or comma, and when you release, it'll insert the punctuation and automagically return to the alphabet keyboard. 
 I used to have price on my lock screen and watch, but I removed it a while ago. I feel more peace this way. 
 We can't compare Bitcoin and nostr back in the days! Bitcoin is more cypherpubk than nostr! Nostr... 
 “Missing piss.” That typo might be on to something. 
 Wow. They doxxed nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6. Hey Busin... 
 WTF. Straight up hit job and doxxing. GFY, Katherine Long and BI. Your pathetic narrative weaving is an insult to your readers, and proves only your own shallowness of mind. 
 Maybe I weird but I like money that doesn’t disintegrate. 
 You abnormal. 
 @NVK is the Denis Villeneuve (director Dune) of Bitcoin. I listened to an NVK podcast earlier, and watched Dune 2’s extras tonight. 😂 
 My keys ain’t weak, yo. 
 Yes, dating in your 40s sucks. It sucks on the men’s side too. Wen #datestr? 
 Maybe I live in the wrong place!

I imagine dating is simply tough from everyone's perspective (except the guys on Oahu?). Even the really beautiful women I meet here in Chicago, the ones I would assume have the world beating down their door,  say the same thing: there are plenty of people to meet, but it's hard to find your person. 
 Gasp! When you draw and post like this, Eshara, it feels like it comes from deep inside you. The vulnerability is moving. Thank you for the human connection, my distant internet friend. 
 Forgot how useful espressos are.
Drank 5 after lunch, BOOM, it's 20:00 and got so much work done. 
 Glad to see I'm not the only one who has trouble ripping them all the way open across the top. 😆

 Been seeing woman’s profiles which spend precious space saying “swipe left if you’re into Bitcoin.” NGMI 🤷‍♂️ 
 deadmau5 _while(1<2)_ is still a banger, the perfect accompaniment for a 4-hour coding sesh. I'd be cool if he were on Nostr &  @wavlake. 
 Two pwned notifications today. KYC: so safe, so effective! 
 What the actual fuck? Get this man away from anything and anyone important.

 Normalize having four different VPNs on your devices. 
 Good thing about the only traffic I pass through a VPN is SSH or SSL anyhow.

 🤦‍ At a quick glance, this seems like a really dumb and obvious vulnerability, no? Security for the average user is so fucked. 
 $256 to renew my license plates for a year. Illinois is a dumpster fire.

 The arranged-marriage societies may be on to something. 
 I had a sweet girl who had overcome a lot and made a lot of progress in life say to me, on a third date, “Eh, I’ll probably fuck this up. I always fuck up the good ones.” It was really sad she thought about herself that way. 
 🤣 She’s a riot. 
 For sure. It’s amazing how people show and tell us who they are, if only we’ll listen. Admittedly, I had to fight the urge to jump into savior mode (as if). Thank god for the lessons of therapy. I was not surprised by the self-immolation that shortly followed. 
 In situations like these, or when I’m pretty obviously being elimi-dated (I’m stealing that, BTW), I channel my inner Mark Baum from The Big Short. No, I don’t say it out loud. https://video.nostr.build/cbbde2dd72afd6bfef360d8a9527c682a070e708711e441520cd102197d9335a.mp4  
 Yeah, funny how some people can’t simply opt-out gracefully. They have to blow something up so there’s a justification in their mind.

 It’s a dealbreaker for me when the girl is a bad kisser. 🤷‍♂️ 
 Is it? I often I worry I’m being sorta picky, but it is the rest of my life we’re taking about here. 🤷‍♂️ 
 Aww, what a great story. And perspective. I love hearing about that kind of thing from older people, and thinking about how they were once our age, having the same experiences and feelings.

Yes, I can see how compromise is a part of things. It’s also hard to know where to compromise and where to keep looking. I suppose physical attraction and communication—kissing is sorta like physical, emotional communication in my book—are in the category of things you don’t want to overlook if it’s not happening for you. It’s not about being picky, it’s about being honest with yourself and your kissing partner. 😘 
 Didn’t know you say “I reckon” across the pond there. 
 You reckon, again. 🤣🫂❤️ 
 I wish clients implemented a "follow back all" button. It's easier to unfollow than to re-follow ... 
 This is a good idea. 
 Primal nuked my follows again!
I'll never financially recover from this😫 
 Oh no! 
 Happy Star Wars day 🫂 
May the 4th be with you 
 And also with you! 🫂 
 King Nut strikes again! He rules the skies. 
 Dang Rod, have we had to widen the doorways at Bitcoin Park yet to accommodate your massive arms? I’m not going to recognize you the next time I see you. Nice work! 🤜🤛
