I love Christian radio, and the 12 songs that they play! 😜

Interesting way to think about #bitcoin PoW on a global per capita basis: The Bitcoin network currently has about 1 Zettahash/second and there are 8.23 billion people on earth. That's 125 gigahash/second per person. That's well below even the simplest of home miners. If you run a Bitaxe Gamma (500 GH/s) you're covering the hashpower for 4 people and if you have a Bitaxe Gamma (1.2TH/s) you're providing 10 people's worth of hash power.

The powers of this world really want to stir us up to support unending physical wars, but really, really do not want us to be aware of the ongoing war for our minds and souls.

If the wizard doesn’t want us to look behind the curtain, we should probably be really interested in looking behind the curtain… 😡 #Epstein #EpsteinDidntKillHimself

GM, random rant: Frustrating how governments around the world bully us to jump through a multitude of bureaucratic paperwork and licensing hoops to just live our lives and voluntarily exchange with others & constantly loom threats over our heads if we even accidentally err in our tribute payments or adherence to thousands of their Byzantine rules… YET they constantly lie to us, steal from us, misplace billions of dollars, exempt themselves from accountability, unilaterally waste blood and treasure on an unknowable number of ridiculous things we don’t want or consent to, etc It’s not a government of the people if there’s two tiers of justice and accountability. In fact, it seems things are completely inverted from where they should be: the people should be free to live their lives privately without interference but the government should be transparent and restrained.

I’d been having issues with my inbound zaps as I was trying to run it off a self hosted server and was having technical difficulties Switched to nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 and immediate impression is that it has improved immensely since I used it last. Cool they have ecash (beta) option now too!

The apparent sudden 180 on the Epstein files probably creating more of a Streisand effect than anything 👀

After my Nostr feed was filled up with people talking about nostr:npub1whtn0s68y3cs98zysa4nxrfzss5g5snhndv35tk5m2sudsr7ltms48r3ec I had to see what the fuss was about. Pretty cool to see a private, secure messenger being built using Nostr

Imagine if you had a rock in your shoe and a doctor wanted to give you medicine to numb your foot so you could ignore the rock rather than helping you take off your shoe and remove the rock. 👀 nostr:note1zxf7tk7ul87v9wvx30u55u6s8lz6nl5kh2us0ad9wh5zfqqc8l3qxzt8z0

DuckDuckGo is a great replacement for Google or Bing. It has good private search results along with useful “instant answers” (eg can give you weather, translations, or unit conversations without going to another site), a private map tool similar to Google/Apple maps, a private AI chat tool, and more. https://duckduckgo.com/compare-privacy #privacy

Idea: Take freeze dried food that has a >25 year shelf life at room temp and store it in a deep freezer at -30C (-20° F) Would last basically forever? #asknostr #prepper
