After years of thinking about it, I'm finally setting up a node. It turns out, after 15 years of doing very little in linux, I really suck at it, but I'll get there. Proof of work, and all. But, that got me thinking about nostr so here I am. Did I miss anything?

It's a "print-a-pew" kind of day.

I came here over a year ago for the bitcoin community but haven't been paying close attention for a while. Does anyone know of 2A and 3D2A npubs that I can follow? I still love bitcoin but DCAing means that I have more free thinking time to dedicate up other interests.

So, it's been a long time since posted, but I'm back to ask a question: What's the thinking in the best cold storage wallet? After some issues (having a stroke... zero stars. Do not recommend), I'm in a position to get back to looking at protecting what I own and I don't trust my current approach (ledger). Help, please.

Does anyone have a list of good accounts to follow? Especially anything that posts news? I've largely been off of all forms of social media for nearly a month. I'm sure nostr had grown quite a bit while I've been doing other things. Thanks, friends.

Things I have learned since starting a garden: 1) Everyone, I mean everyone, is an expert on gardening. You don't even have to ask them. As soon as they find out you have a garden, they're going to tell you exactly what you're doing wrong. 2) None of the experts, which again, seems to be everyone, agree on anything except that plants exist. 3) Apparently, some plants don't care if I know what I'm doing or not. They're going to grow if you get them near the ground. Some of these plants can also decide to grow 20 feet from where you plant them, which is really fascinating since they're, you know, plants.

I've been incredibly busy and mostly without internet for the past week. What did I miss?

Who needs fictional comedy when you have a government to laugh at? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mccarthy-warns-wall-street-to-be-more-worried-about-the-debt-ceiling-161526363.html There is a growing chance Washington “will bumble into the first default in our nation’s history,” the Republican said.

There's a fair amount of talk about anime profile pics. So, I will state for the record that: A) my profile pic is an original work that was created by a friend as a cartoonization of me for a now an comic that she started to make. It's her representation of me as a cartoon. B) I very much like some anime. I also like works out of most genre's. None of that defines me as a human being. While I think it's a mistake for anyone to base their personality off of any one thing, I also believe that it's a mistake to read too deeply into someone else's taste. For example, I sometimes have a framed photograph of a pile of dog shit on display in home. Why? Well, that photograph was a running joke between a close friend of mine who was a professional photographer at one point in his life and my father who as an amateur photographer for most of his life. They are both now deceased. Sometimes, I sit that picture out to remind myself of the good times the three of us had together. Sometimes, I put the photo up because it makes me sad. But, if someone sees it they are free to ask why I have a framed photo of dog shit. They are also free to pass judgment on me without we've knowing why I have it. It's really up to them. If they ask I will tell them stories of two brilliant and hilarious people. If they pass silent judgement, they'll never know anything about these people and it will be their loss, not mine. Snap decision making without context can be incredibly bad uses of heuristics. I'll concede, it can be necessary at times. But, in my experience, it often just leads to wasted time arguing from a place of intentional ignorance or opportunities missed while attempting broad generalizations in classifying human beings.

I'm listening to Nostr history happening live in the Bitcoin Lobby Nest. Maybe. Hopefully. Okay, I like listening to nests when I get the chance.
