At times, I feel like I'm wasting my time writing about and testing all of this stuff.
Whenever I begin to feel this way, I read this quote from A Cypherpunk Manifesto.
”Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down."
Then I remember why I'm here and I write a little more or try new software.
You're not the first person I've heard say this. Even no-coiners sense something is wrong.
Just stack as hard as you can. It will be enough eventually.

I'm still learning, but it's peer to peer computer networking.
Reverse TOR proxy's make me want to pull my hair out. This makes a website you run on your desktop or Start9 available to other computers using public key cryptography.
In other words, you can launch a Minecraft server with three lines of code.
Or....An LNbits instance with a TPOS and a Jukebox at a brewery that accepts bitcoin. 😁
BTCSessions has an Umbrel video, and I highly recommend his YouTube channel, but I haven't watched it.
I use Umbrel for my non-bitcoin software. Do you want a tutorial that teaches you how to use Jellyfin with Umbrel?
https://umbrel.com/
Thanks. That's good to know. I use Jellyfin because my wife always said, "I wish Netflix had a random button."
She wanted to click a button that would play a random episode of Friends.
Jellyfin fixes this. 🤣
I read *I Will Teach You To Be Rich* to get a normie finance perspective. He literally said bonds are a great investment because the government can just print the money.🙄
Agreed. There are some good financial advisors, but they ussually charge a fee.
The people shilling a traditional "60/40 "well diversified portfolio" are mindless corporate drones selling bad debt for a commission. I don't know how anyone selling bonds can sleep at night, but I auspect they have no idea what they're doing.
In the future(well in the present actually) , people will still need help setting up multisig, use passphrases, and run nodes. That's the only advice worth the sats.
🤔 good question, but the reason I like unchained chat is because I can do amazing stuff for pennies worth of sats instead of paying $5,000 for a bad ass AI machine.
