One of my latest obsessions is this guy on YouTube who sort of chants the entire progression of a given word from Proto-Indo-European all the way down to modern English. These videos make me want to do a MSc or PhD in Historical Linguistics. #linguistics #nerd

Thanks to everyone who shared solid articles on ecash / cashu privacy. One other question that came to mind that I didn't quite get an answer to (possibly because I'm also rather ignorant of how lightning works), but... Do mints have any kind of identifiable lightning addresses when sending LN transactions back out into the wider ecosystem? For example, if I wanted to send out a thousand sats from a mint to a friend's wallet, would this be obvious to him or anyone else watching where those funds came from? Could he or anyone else say for certain that A) they came from a mint (as opposed to a generic lightning wallet) and B) they came from a specific mint? #ecash #cashu #asknostr @calle

Although it's not a permanent solution to government abuses of power, having multiple passports can mitigate some of the short-term risks. View quoted note →

I'm thinking about expanding some of my technical knowledge via hobbies. Some friends and colleagues have recommended drones and 3d printing. I'm leaning towards the latter, especially as I find it more practical, as I can build things to use day-to-day in my life. Has anyone else delved into both? What did you end up focusing more time on? Why did you choose what you did? #drones #3dprinting

Can anyone recommend an article on the privacy benefits of using a cashu mint to send and receive lightning payments? How private are each? What are any other advantages or disadvantages? Bonus points if the articles can explain it to me like I'm five. 😆 #asknostr #cashu @calle

It may be prudent to back up the ones you love and enjoy before more court cases prevent us from seeing those films.

Would it be accurate to say that 90% of #Olas photos are either protein, coffee, beer, or dogs?

Early last year, I stumbled upon a few AI tools that could be added as bots to Zoom or GoogleMeet calls. They claimed to be able to take minutes and to organise them into useful reports or whatever thereafter. Has anyone tried such tools and how accurate have you found them to be? #asknostr #ai

Most mornings, I brew up a strong shot of coffee with this humble little moka pot and bring it to my classroom in a travel mug. After taking off the lid, the pleasant smell of coffee fills the air. However, I may be the only one that thinks so. Some days, students will remark about the "intense smell of coffee". Occasionally, their noses deceive them, and they ask why they smell instant noodles. That seems to be a fairly common thing. Today though, two students came in to drop off their work and ... asked why my room smelled like "spicy pork". I never in my life would think that coffee could smell like pork, but what do I know? 😆 #coffeechain

Don't get me wrong. I'm not recommending consuming McDonald's. However, it's pretty amazing what freeze drying can do!

What do you mean by a 'territory'? Is this some kind of channel, directory, chat group, etc on an online platform?

@Pawn Dev Out of curiosity, what does it mean to be a cybermedievalist? Are there certain core tenets you subscribe to? What does your day-to-day look like?

WhatsApp's new privacy settings allow users control over who can see their profile photos? I'd much prefer anonymous account creation and protection from metadata mining! That's where SimpleX and the like really shine.

Android #Olas users, did you login via bunker, nsec or some other means? I've not yet been able to log in with bunker and don't feel comfortable using my nsec right now. #asknostr

Gm nostriches I woke up earlier today, suffering from "last-song syndrome". I haven't heard this particular song in months, but yet it has been playing in my head all day. ...and now I'll share it with you too! Good luck!
