Principle > Price
The price doesn’t matter without sovereignty and privacy. I want freedom not fancier chains.

Be wise but take risks
I tolerate people who share “bad” ideas in a respectful way because quite a few times I’ve had them share some insight that helps me expand my thinking in beneficial ways
GM! Here’s a little secret: you’re allowed to change your life anytime you want.
If you make New Year’s resolutions, why don’t you just start them this week? That way you have a whole month to get your new habits figured out and mistakes made before the arbitrary ‘new year’ paradigm starts
I enjoyed the book. Not perfect, but ambitious, thought provoking, didactic story.
It felt like it was written by a cypherpunk Ayn Rand. View quoted note →
Despite awareness of some significant issues in society, economy, and politics, there is indeed much to be thankful for!
If someone who typically has a pretty good perspective on things likes a book enough to narrate and produce the audiobook version and gives it away for free, that’s a strong indicator the book is worth the time and attention.
Downloading the chapters now and about to start listening 🫡 View quoted note →
Courage of conviction is a challenging thing. If you are right and endure you’re a hero but if you stand against the crowd and are wrong you’re a susceptible fool. May we all be both bold and wise
I don’t necessarily agree with this thesis, but it’s super important to constantly be evaluating how we could be wrong View quoted note →
There is immense value in journaling so that you can understand, reflect on, and evaluate your mental state in real time as events develop without hindsight bias. Privately this can occur with pen and ink and also now the indelible #Nostr notes offer cryptographically signed, new ways for establishing a record (obviously there are trade offs)
I haven’t gone to theaters in years but a group was going to see the new Bonhoeffer film. The movie was interesting but l’ll need some time to reflect on it before I have anything deep to share about the content.
What I will say now is that after paying almost $20 per ticket having the first 25 minutes be mostly advertisements is outrageous. It used to be just previews of other things to see but there were literally banks and megafood corps pushing their poisons
Made a second turkey this week. First one was a touch dry so this time I overnight wet brined it with a salt and seasoning mix to plump it up before sous vide cooking for 24 hours. Dripped on a melted butter & seasoning mix then did a quick finish in a hot smoker for the added flavor and the classic crispy exterior.

Tell people you interact with the niche things you like about them.
Sharing your gratitude with others is a magical gift. It makes them feel loved and appreciated and it helps create more of the excellence that you cherish.
I love finding great deals on food and using that as the impetus to try new things. Snagged a medium sized turkey for less than 5 bucks 🤑
Seasoned it up and right now it’s #SousVide cooking for 24 hours and will do a hot and fast rip on the #Smoker to finish it. Hope it turns out well!
Whatever you think about the commit in question, an underlying issue seems to be that no project will every be completely free if it relies on GitHub or other similar gatekeeper who can set arbitrary ToS and ban you
