Random Idea: Use IFTTT (or a FOSS alternative or even a mechanical mechanism) to have the activation of a home alarm system trigger a smart outlet powering your computer to turn off, forcing the computer into a first boot, full disk encryption state. Probably overkill for most but when the UK starts raiding houses for your silly memes you’ll be a touch safer 🤪

People that think mass resistance to tyranny will work simply because “what will they do, arrest all of us? Lolz” seem to be shockingly ignorant of history. Stalin, Pol Pot, et al had incredibly oppressive societies even without the massive big data tools available today

Is Swan Bitcoin not at #Bitcoin2024?! 👀 If not, does anyone know why? I know they just went through some unfortunate organizational tumult, but it’s surprising that an influential Bitcoin-only company wouldn’t be at the largest Bitcoin event in the world…

Good morning! Just noticed that Bitcoin 2024 conference has an official Rumble livestream in addition to their YouTube stream. Nice to see alternative options! https://rumble.com/v586kk2-bitcoin-2024-conference-nashville-general-day-1-0726.html #Nashville #Bitcoin2024

Just finished the first episode— Whimsical and moving with excellent production quality. Check it out on your preferred podcast player or

Why do so many screenshots from Xitter look so grainy/have odd, pixilated digital artifacts? #AskNostr

I recently had a nice, fun evening with a very drunk Canadian trucker. He seemed like an honest, hardworking guy but understandably pretty jaded and disillusioned. He told me about the Canadian loony-toss which is some kind of Canadian ritual that thanks to government regulations resulted in pelting naked Canadian dancers with metal, fiat coins. As absurd as that was, I couldn’t help but think about the analogy of me flinging digital currency (sats) at my Nostr frens. So I guess wear eye protection you naked dancing Nostr frens… 🤣🤷‍♂️

Until yesterday, I hadn’t eaten at a Popeyes for a few years, but I was blown away by their chicken sandwich. I dare say it was better than chic-fil-a 🫣

When you focus your attention to causes that don’t attract attention you will probably find the freedom your didn’t know you deserved 😉
