 @Alby just setup Alby Hub on my own servers; it was trivial getting it up and running, took me 10 minutes to get everything working.

You’ve made self custodial lightning easy! Thanks 
 The logsitics paradox is that when you're not home, they'll always deliver a package early, and when you are - they'll always deliver a package late. 
 Spent a few months away from #nostr; What's been growing in this space? Anything exciting?

 What’s wild is that this works on mobile for me but not on desktop; the opposite of before. 
 I can see it fine on noStrudel. It's likely due to an incompatible video encoding with the apps; if its' an old video was it still an .mp4 or .mov? 
 I would try re-exporting it as an MKV file and seeing if that makes a difference. I don't know what operating system you use but both Windows Movie Maker and iMovie should be able to quickly remux it. 
 On second consideration if you're using nostr.build it should do all that compatability magic for you - so it's a mystery. I might be dead wrong on my gut assumption.

Following through your tutorials and hitting the same problem I had as a child with yo-yos; my string is becoming twisted so much when I throw the yo-yo it spins sideways like a hamburger and I can’t retrieve it.

What’s the fix for this? https://nostrcheck.me/media/e237877ae3b520f59cc8aa27f5d3bf3e9adbed010a6eebe4f3fda718dd6a20c2/2e3f1d9be11472b3cf933589310afaa24e9140b3465ad4ea51e039b875f20b28.webp 
 Kind of crazy how one persons rudeness in a coffee shop can fuck up the vibes of the whole space 
 Oh he'll let u but it would be bc you can't follow instructions I'd u do 
 Your just jealous 
 Omg I can’t believe this Jesus guy is going to let me throw the first stone 🤗

 All dms sent via Nostr are end to end encrypted with your pub key, like PGP of yor; usually this is done automagically by your client so most people don’t even notice; NIP-04 requires it though. 
 In the grand tapestry of human discourse, wherein the intricacies of language weave together the fabric of thought and expression, it behooves us to elucidate the timeless axiom that the quintessence of sagacity and intellectual acumen lies not in the prolixity of one’s verbiage, but rather in the judicious parsimony of words. Indeed, it is through the deliberate and artful economy of linguistic articulation that the true brilliance of wit is most resplendently revealed, illuminating the minds of listeners and readers alike with its crystalline clarity and profound insight. Thus, let it be known that in the realm of erudite communication, the virtue of succinctness is paramount, for it is in this refined brevity that the soul of wit finds its most exalted and efficacious expression.

Or as one would otherwise say:

 What's the best way to easily start accepting lightning payments for physical goods, full self-custody, without using a third party processor like OpenNode, etc?

@getalby/lightning-tools is a start, but it would be nice to have a library that generates a payment UI, etc.

#asknostr #lightning #bitcoin 
 I really want to give this Nostr thing a college try but could not care less about bitcoin.

Hard to find non-crypto accounts to follow so I guess I’ll be one. 
 Cable management is slipping into mayhem on "The Walrus" cocktail level, but overall satisfied with how this one came out.

Of note here is the multi-purpose "D" sequence, which advances all platters at the same time (since there is no consequence if the tray isn't there), and dispenses ice if the tray is in the right place for the sequence trigger.

I feel very clever for this solution.

 Super stoked how my machine came out for "Sweet Heat BBQ", compared to the spaghetti nightmare of my fried chicken solution.

This one was a lot of fun! Probably my favorite level so far; but boy do these get tricky without a NOR gate.

 Soldiering on with the fried chicken level in 20th Century food court. This took me two days of on-and-off tinkering. 

I know I can optimize this down to just two disposal bins but I just can't figure out the sequencers.https://image.nostr.build/e8f9dcbd4a30d3f42eb563ed41c470925dcc9add9ef7a6e7c5ac671f8b64d189.gif  
 Continuing in 20th Century Foodcourt today with this donut machine that, totally on purpose, produces a "bakers dozen" that it must dispose of.

What I love about Zachtronics games is that feeling of "oh boy I don't know if I can do this" slowly morphing into "I may be the smartest man alive" in a couple minutes of tinkering.

Also of note is the tricky fryer clock to offset it's negative start "bug", which even further slows down the machine.

 If I've met you before and don't remember, that's my bad - sorry.

But if I've met you more than three times and can't remember it, that's on you, buddy - be more memorable. 
 Good Morning, Happy Monday / Sextidi. 

📅 It is the 15th of January, 2024
📅 It is the 26th of Nivôse, 232

Today in Calgary we're hovering at -29° C ❄️ , although the weather shamans predict it will be warmer in the afternoon, at around -15° C ☃️ .

Today it is my intent to accomplish the following:

1. Finish "The Wind in the Willows"
2. Play around with the IndieKit Project
3. Write up a blog post about my eReadershttps://image.nostr.build/dc1bb320515804d7970a544fb07bca72899cf23138fefbd2a65ed0fbcfb290e1.jpg  
 feels like there should be lowercase numbers. numbers always feel like they're yelling off the page. 
 I wonder how different of a person I would be if I didn't spend 70% of my waking hours thinking about databases.

 I don't believe so much that Substack, or any other platform for that matter,  will "Adopt" Nostr as a protocol. However, it seems we are ripe for a Substack alternative that can utilize the Nostr Protocol in the back end.

I wonder what that would look like? The main feature of Substack, in spite of them trying to move users to the app, is that articles appear in users email inboxes. Perhaps some notification system letting Nostr users know new longform content is available? — This is a comment on: https://yakihonne.com/article/naddr1qqrrxdenxuenjqguwaehxw309ahx7um5wgknqvfw09skk6tgdahxuefwvdhk6qguwaehxw309ahx7um5wgknqv3w09skk6tgdahxuefwvdhk6qg7waehxw309ahx7um5wgknqv3wv3hhyctxv93hgmmj0yhx7un8qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsygpjgt70p7slgeqj5r4y2fgyen0ykech5w9y99rvtq4hwt7jq4qtmvpsgqqqw4rsjpgajz
