GM. Today's agenda - GitCitadel things :) - Today is a little work fixing CI servers - More work getting my Linux workstation VM going - Maybe some work on the kubernetes cluster - Working on the pickup. I have to get some rust prevention, mirrors stripped and re-painted, some electrical work, and my coolant filter hoses replaced. Not necessarily in that order

Asking desktop and embedded device developers. What would want to see from libnoscrypt to consider using in your project? I'd like your feedback :) More convenient packaging? Smaller package size? Moar performance? More compliance? Noscrypt wants to be a rather low complexity, commercial grade quality, nostr specific cryptography library. Something that's just there, and works, like zlib.

Oh and I wanted to try something more permanent than screw clamps. Stainless steel crimp clamps, and an expensive steel crimping tool. Wanting to do transmission lines, and redo the lines on my coolant bypass filter.

Kind of funny story nostr will appreciate. TLDR Decay of US suburban areas following decay of urban areas with an anecdote. A family member showed me a copy of a letter they received from the water company they're on in the area. It was an update to an ongoing bankruptcy situation. Yeah the literal local water management company (yes it's a monopoly, yes it's a "private" company) went bankrupt some time ago. It was notifying residents that the price of water supply was going to increase dramatically soon. They went bankrupt because they made some bad investments, and borrowed a bunch of money to add infrastructure. I believe the local hospital system was the recipient, and they went bankrupt a few years prior, a little over 10 years ago. So they never paid the water company back. So the debt has been outstanding longer than I've been alive from what I understand. The county had to bail them out with a round of taxation. Yeah they literally added a tax to that season for the entire county (even if you didn't use the water company or lived in the service area). This still wasn't enough to bail them out completely, as a few years later I guess more of the hospital shut down and now the city it operates in is also bankrupt, so they are attempting to force a sale of the water company to, presumably to one of the largest water companies in the area, possibly on the east coast. I think the state government has been stepping in. So recap: - Local water company went bankrupt again - Couldn't pay money it borrowed back - Borrowed money and hoped to pay it back with big customers (hospital) - Entire hospital system went bankrupt and finally closed down all branches this year - City the water company operates in has been legally bankrupt for over 20 years (don't ask me how this works) - So the county has to step in to backstop the city - County residents were forced to pay for something they didn't cause nor benefit from - The state is attempting to force a sale to a larger monopoly water company - The water company is threatening massive price hikes, likely double digit percentages - The county (and or local govt) prevents some residents (especially those in more urban locations) from digging wells - Well water in the area isn't very usable in many areas due to old local industry - You need water to survive

It's not much but it's honest work
