I'm trying to implement login with nostr connect using nsec.app but getting stuck. Any resources or alternatives to connecting via nostr connect? #asknostr .hostr

I know no one hear wants wars, and that many here feel we can avoid them by not funding wars and by not allowing politicians to take us into them. Maybe those things can help. And yet, do we have to say it out loud? There have always been wars as long as history has recorded things. Wars will persist. The root cause of war is human nature--flawed, sinful human nature. Sorry, but even bitcoin can't fix that. (We can even still try to do what we can do.)

Currently sitting beside a mountain brook listening to its babble and enjoying a beverage. This is what's called recharging the batteries.

Coffee shop reflections...

Saw this guy yesterday. Just zoomed in and look at those eyes! Beautiful, but also amazingly determined. #nature #animals

Netanyahu: "There are no free wars." He's right. .hostr

This tortoise was in the driveway so I moved it to safety. Go to town, it's back in the same spot! How did it jump the wood barrier? Hope it's not laying eggs there. #nature #animals

I've had the best luck with zinnias. Planted seeds a few days ago and rain/sun they're already up. The dry flower and the blooming flower are the parents of these babies. #gardening

Any insight on this Spark thing? On one level, it sounds custodial (which, in my view, In my view, is ok up to "pocket-change" level), but then it sounds okay with owner holding 1 of 2 keys and is therefore not exactly custodial. All told, I'm not too sure what to make of it.

Yesterday... #nature

Back in the old days of vibe coding, that is, a month ago, I was embarrassed that I'd used AI to code. Now that I see much-respected man-coders (manual coders) doing it and openly talking about it, I feel much better. Frankly, vibe coding is already not a thing anymore, it's just coding. #coding

Microsoft and Meta chose no to #bitcoin as a reserve. They'll get there. I'll set the over/under at two years out, so, June 2027. I'd probably take the over right now because big means slow to move. But, the flywheel of acquisition might kick them in the rear to speed them up.

Meta and Big Tech Aren’t Joining the Bitcoin Treasury Wave

The proposal’s rejection wasn’t in itself surprising, but the ratio of defeat was: 1,221 votes “against” for every vote “for.”

Remind me in two years.

This UX is like you've been waiting in line at Customer Service, you finally get to the front of the line, and the person holds up this sign: "If you see this sign, ring the bell for service." I mean, really? You send me a page that says, "If you see this page, push the button, else I won't do anything." Why not just do what the button says to do?

Took a "hike" along the road, saw "flaming azaelas" (which are actually a mountain laurel variety). Going to try for some kayaking tomorrow.

Use to be, I paid companies to use their stuff by viewing their ads. This still happens, of course. But now, companies also pay me to view their ads.

I'm starting to think two things: 1. That bitcoiners are the kind of people who intrinsically like a fight for the fun of it; and 2. These fights are probably a good thing for #bitcoin - makes it stronger.
