I have been using Zeus by @EVAN KALOUDIS for years now and cannot believe how excellent and consistent it has become as a tool for my multiple #Start9 Lightning nodes. All zaps to this post go to him, starting with my own.

So I've been taking cello lessons since March and practicing most every day. I found an excellent teacher that promised me we would play no actual music but focus on scales, arpeggios, and etudes for the first year. This would be very unsatisfying, he told me, but it would give me all the tools I needed to tackle actual music when the time came. I was astounded to learn a few weeks ago that the first "real' music I'd be learning with him was the Prelude to Bach's first solo Cello Suite, which arrived in thr mail just a few days ago. And he was right. This piece that sounded absolutely impossible to me just a few months ago feels like it's within reach. There's more to this instrument than I ever would have guessed, but that's what living is for. I am glad I live in a world after Bach. https://tidal.com/browse/track/145424300?u

Wow. Definitely lost a lot of followers since I've been away from Nostr. Time to get zappin ⚡⚡⚡

Does anyone here have a consistent method to be able to type Spanish language accents (á, ñ, etc) across Windows and Linux desktops using the #Dvorak keyboard layout? I really like the Windows Powertoys "Quick Accents" method (letter held down + spacebar) but can't seem to find a way to replicate it on #Debian #Linux. I'm used to being fairly niche in my interests but this is next level... #asknostr #hispano

I just bought a replacement watch band and NOW I'm "part of the Garmin family"? What the heck does the last four years of actually wearing your watch mean to you people?!

Phone etiquette is so bad. People call 3-4 times repeatedly in succession instead of leaving a message. The number of times people leave voicemails without a name is bizarre, like I'm dealing with some kind of sovereign that has no need to condescend to introduce themselves. Or when I answer, they just start issuing their demands without so much as a greeting. It's harsh, graceless, and discouraging. We live in a coarse world.

Q: What is faith? A: Resolutely shutting your eyes to scientific fact. Q: What is the human intellect? A: A barrier to faith. Q: What are the seven Christian virtues? A: Respectability; childishness; mental timidity; dullness; sentimentality; censoriousness; and depression of spirits. Dorothy Sayers #quotestr

Any strong feelings about #linux distro Sparky? My machine running #Ubuntu is struggling to keep up in the GNOME desktop environment and I'm looking for a light weight distro for 15 year old hardware.
