 Welcome!

I always thought living in a van is better than a single family home, but my wife does not agree. 😄 
 Good morning fellas. 
 This is the best thing I've seen this week.  Brings me absolute joy

 This is great news! 
 Now that OpenAI is officially VC-funded garbage, what are the best self-hosted and/or open-source... 
 Duck Duck Go has a free AI chatbot that has Llama 3.1 70B option. I use it all the time, but Venice also does images, right?

 I think it's the incintives.  The people who pay the politicians get paid to sell bombs psychopaths sign, but the ROI of saving people in a disaster = 0%. 

It's sad, but destroyers make money. Heros lose money.

By the way, what's the d word? 
 Thanks.

 I really wish we would see more lightning addresses and less bitcoin addresses on donation sites. 

Better yet, zapper.fun links.

 Everyone I know on nostr uses SimpleX.  How do we get normies to use it? 
 Wow. I'm impressed.  My family gets mad at me if I ask them to download an app. 
 When #Bitcoin hits 1M, Fiat elections won't matter anymore. 🚀🌝💯 
 They don't matter now. 
 Rather painful #Proxmox install complete!

 How many pounds of meat do get with a half cow? 
 Thank you sir.

 If the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is so great, why does our health insurance system still ab... 
 Every law does the opposite of its name.

The affordable care act is unaffordable. 

The patriot act is unpatriotic.

The inflation reduction act. . .  
 From now on, I will cite this article whenever I hear someone say "bitcoin is useless ocean boiling technology."

 Same. Glad I heard it though.  
 How many #Bitcoin Private Keys were washed away from all of this flooding in TN, SC, GA, FL?

😬 
 Hopefully this was included in their threat model. 
 I live by a lake so I do have this in my threat model. This is why I like tools lime seed XOR. 
 Using Alby Hub, Please zap to test 
 If you can do that, you can run it on your own hardware. Why use digital ocean? 
 I guess I can't get zaps if the power goes out, but this doesn't happen very often.

 This really sucks. I don't know what else to say. 
 I have no idea WTF "turn the page" means. 

How will the government fix the $35 trillion deficit?

Turn the page.

It's nonsense. 
 Cryptography is not politically neutral technology. 
 Governments can write laws that make bitcoin illegal, but the people can still use it. 
 Does it still stuck on loading workspace? 
 Yeah. I thought it didn't work until I saw the comments. 
 Is this a plugin for Obsidian you are working on? Can you see this reply on your plugin? 
 Yeah it's in the community plugins. 
 I can see this reply and I am not working on it, but I will if I can.

Here's the GitHub repository.

 The worst thing about bull markets is that people I haven't talked to in months start to ask, "Hey are you still into that crypto thing?"

Imagine if I was really into Shakespeare, wrote about Shakespeare performances, and went to Shakespeare meetups and they asked me, "Hey, are you still into that rap thing?"

 
 i’m starting to learn more from nostr. 

which is a great sign. 
 What are some of the things you've learned?

 Damn dude. That's deep. 
 Wanting to burn down the system, is, in fact, high-time-preference fiat behavior. 
 I just want to exit the system before the inevitable collapse.  
 I've paid foe protonmail for years using a credit card because I didn't known I could use #bitcoin until the founder was on Bitcoin Audible.
