I blocked my first user on Nostr this morning. I hit me unexpectedly because everyone has been very genuine. I haven’t seen any of the trolling and negativity I see elsewhere. It’s been wonderful. So now I’m wondering Are people on Nostr getting creepy DMs and inappropriate comments here too? I thankfully have not. The objectionable post I saw this morning was meant to precipitate a strong reaction. I felt provoked but chose not to engage. It only took me a moment to find the block button. I realized in that moment that we need to be careful and measured in our response to these problems. #nostr #socialmedia #problem #block #ban

So these Canaan Avalon Q really are amazing. All the reviews will tell you they’re quiet, efficient etc they don’t tell you how much heat it’s actually putting out. It’s significant. I may not have to run my furnace much at all this winter. I ran it on standard mode in my studio for a few hours and it was throwing some serious heat. I moved it to the main floor of the house and it warmed the 3900 sqft house to 24C. I turned it down to eco mode and it’s been maintaining that temp. I thought 1 maybe 2 of these could offset my heat needs but now I’m thinking 1 may actually do it. The weather is mild …12C tonight. My first impression is very positive . I’m looking forward to the 3D printed fan shroud to arrive so I han fit it to the HVAC 😀 #canaan #avalon #heater #furnace #miner #mine4heat #avalonq #heat #bitcoin

Ooh ooh 😮 It’s here it’s here !

When an artist is just starting out they sometimes will finally make one standout painting then freeze up with the one painting becoming precious. They get stuck. The best thing is to sell, gift or hide the painting and move on. Your later works are so much better than that one early painting is. Brush miles. Take what you learnt and make more paintings, and they’ll be much better paintings too. Get after it #art #artstr #advice
