This is some of the best advice. I've been saying this to friends and family for years. My dad told me when I was a kid that, if I am ever depressed or sad, go volunteer. For exactly the reasons in this post. It forces you to not focus on yourself and focus on others. What's the side effect? You will feel better. I promise you. View quoted note →

Don’t forget the Olympic opening ceremony where they intentionally made a mockery of the Last Supper. Remember who the real enemy is though. “For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I pray that my reaction is to go to Him in prayer.

It's crazy how fast these tariffs have taken place.

@jb55 what is your throttling policy for your relays again? I'm almost finished making a game built on nostr, but I'm unsure at what frequency of posting from my game npub is going to be rejected.

I realize now why polyester is terrible. I didn't think it mattered that I was wearing it, how much harm could that do? It's more about the microplastics it leaves behind. Those blankets made of polyester? Leaving trace amounts of plastic everywhere. Especially bringing a baby into this world that wants to put everything in their mouth. Not in my household.

Will someone zap this note 16 sats? Promise to double it trust me bro.

Google Chrome continues to push getting rid of ad blockers. Updated Chrome yesterday and it, again, disabled uBlockOrigin. They're stopping short of banning the extension because people would seek alternatives. I'm already there. What's your guys' preferred alternative browser?

@npub1l2vy...ajft mentioned that no one had bridged a lightning address to their nostr wallet, so I built it out. Here's a demo of it working and verifying it with Olas. Now you can receive lightning payments to your LUD16 address and ecash sent directly to your nostr wallet. A wallet that travels with you all over nostr. None of this would be possible without @calle, Pablo, and everybody else working tirelessly on nostr and cashu. Thank you guys. This is still in early beta, so PLEASE be careful. View quoted note →

Instead of mentioning Cashu - ecash is custodial every post, I think people will still get the idea if you mention it every other post.
