I am looking for a Nostr plebs or Signal group around self-sufficiency, water, heating, electricity, gardening, hydroponics, passive house, farming, ... This is such a rabbit hole.

My dream is to build self-sufficient house. No connection to the grid. Probably not feasible in my part of the world. - Own source of water is ok, well + collection of rainwater works. - Own water cleaning facility is also probably feasible. - Electricity is the problem. In the winder I need the grid or to run ugly, smelly and noisy diesl generator. After Bitcoin this is whole new rabbit hole🐇

I was using Linux all my life. Whole my life Mac users laughed to me that I have to "recompile" kernel to make my wifi work. I got a Mac for work. Guess what? My external docker doesn't work with it, my KVM box doesn't work with it. My external mic has issues. When I swap mic, the system just uses something else and I have to manually change it all the time. Guess what? All of that works on my Linux without any configuration. And guess what? It works like that even on my gaming machine with fucking Windows.

In order to replace Twitter, Nostr needs to be used by journalist and activists. Shill it like crazy to them. Those people need to learn, to post shit from riots, wars, etc... on Nostr. They need to learn, that Nostr is the way how to spread the message. Message that is unstoppable by both governments or crazy (and greedy) Musks and Zucks.

Google is pure EVIL: To enable 2FA on Google you HAVE TO give them the phone number. If your client/employer uses Google Suit may seems you are fucked. But there is a solution. What to do if you need to use Google with 2FA? 1. Enable 2FA by giving it number from sms4sats.com (don't logout until you finish those steps, if Google asks for another SMS code you won't be able to get it, as numbers are one use only) 2. Once you have it, magically Google allows you to add another 2FA, so you add standard OTP. It's interesting isn't it? 3. You delete phone 2FA option. 3. You have won. 🥳 More info on the article 👇

Today my dougher refused to eat anything "normal". She demands meat (which means boiled or steak) and broth. She also loves butter. Just plain butter, and also, black olives. She barely speaks, but this is very clearly comunicated. She refuses all vegetables and it's impossible to get her to eat bread. I am so proud. 😊 (Well, she loves ice cream tho... 😁)

Today I have finally found reasonable FOSS android Widget app to track forex and stocks.

Today I uninstalled the Infinity app for Reddit. That place has rendered itself irelevant. All content I have been interesed in is now censored behind the wall. Go Nostr go.

Apple is closed, permissioned system. You gotta ask nicely to be there, and if they don't like they kick you out (or force you to pay 30%). It's absolutely incompatible with the open-source ethos and sovereignity of an individual. Just leave that shit now. (Google is not better, but important, crucial difference is, that Android is open-source and there are forks, namely GrapheneOS, but also others, who 1. completers and 2. provide open, permissionless alternative.) I can run ungoogled Android OS with any app I want. I cannot do the same with Apple.

True peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading must be: - Anonymous (KYC free)! - But safe! - Unstoppable! The @vexl 😎 has it all. - You don't need to reveal your identity. - But you utilize your own web of contacts and thus **trust**. - It is very hard to stop two ordinary people from trading Bitcoin for cash. You have to try it. But please, **don't use the banks!!**. Do it on the streets and in the cafés. Do it for cash. Banks can and will ask questions and also you can became a white horse for a scammer.

Dear Reddit folks, Nostr plebs are welcoming you.

In OsmAnd it is very useful to display more details. I have it on for all profiles (walk/car/bike/browse). You have to set this on for every profile you want this. Go to Configure map -> Select profile you want to edit -> scroll all the way to the bottom -> Details -> Turn on the More details. You can also turn on some extra stuff there as well.

At OsmAnd you can (and should) download slopes, hillshades and contour lines. You just go to Download Maps, then you select region and beside standart map you also download Contour lines, hillshades and slopes.
