@utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 removed #Amber support from #Wisp and now requires nsec stored locally in the app. Curious about the reasoning. The threat model for client-level compromise is worse with local storage—nsec never passes through the client when signing is handled by Amber. "On device" isn't the same as "isolated." What problem were you solving?

Claude Code helped me turn my OSHO preservation work into an actual archive pipeline—without having to spend hours coding everything from scratch. The collection itself is 1300+ DVDs so far, spanning over 35 years of talks, interviews, events, discourse series, and rare recordings. One of the largest high-quality private OSHO video collections I’ve seen anywhere... nearly complete and still growing. The goal is to preserve the archive by converting the original DVD collection into lossless MKVs. The archive is massive, so at one point I paused the DVD ripping workflow and started uploading completed ISO backups to Amazon while it was still unlimited. Then Amazon shut the service down. The web interface is limited to 5GB downloads or 1000 files at a time. There is no Linux app. Meanwhile, I had ~10TB of already-ripped ISO backups sitting there waiting to be recovered and verified. So the engineering side became its own project. I fired up Claude Code and vibe coded an Amazon Photos downloader script. The downloader evolved into an interactive archive browser. I can navigate the folder tree, queue entire sections of the archive, see file counts, sizes, totals, storage requirements, and launch batch jobs. It rebuilds the original hierarchy, resumes interrupted work, verifies every file locally, audits completed runs, and refuses to silently accept incomplete downloads. Downloads fail. Discs fail. Navigation structures fail. Manual processing doesn't scale. The converter walks the archive automatically, finds ISOs, batch converts them with headless `makemkvcon`, preserves chapters, skips completed discs, writes the MKV back into the same structure, and logs everything. Validation is automated too. ffmpeg fully decodes every finished file and flags corruption automatically. The workflow now looks like this: 0. `validate_mkvs.sh` — one-time scan of pre-existing MKVs (no ISOs = validation only) 1. `download_photos.py` — download ISO backups from Amazon Photos 2. `batch_mkv.sh` — convert ISOs to MKV, validate, optionally delete ISOs 3. `recover_corrupt.sh` — auto-fix anything flagged corrupt by step 2 4. `dvd_recover.sh` — manual recovery from physical disc for what step 3 can't fix 5. Repeat steps 1–4 as more ISOs download The archive keeps moving. Problem discs have their own recovery path: ddrescue → bsdtar → mkvmerge. Sometimes the navigation layer is broken. The video isn't. So the workflow bypasses the damaged DVD structure and rebuilds from the raw VOB streams. The cool part is these aren’t just scripts anymore. They’re becoming a preservation toolkit built around the realities of maintaining a massive archive. Less babysitting. More automation. More preservation. #IKITAO #OSHO View quoted note → View quoted note →

It’s wild how grammar and punctuation have been sliding for decades, and then AI shows up promising to improve people’s writing—cleaner punctuation, better phrasing, the whole thing. But now the moment someone uses an ellipsis, an em-dash, or even a pre-AI turn of phrase, people scream “AI-generated!” as if creativity suddenly died in 2023. So what happens? People start intentionally dumbing down their writing to “sound human”—dropping letters, misspelling on purpose, leaning into this bizarre redneck-meets-valley-girl shorthand… all to avoid being accused of using the very tools that were supposed to elevate them. Meanwhile... vibe coding is widely celebrated as a way to boost productivity, riff new ideas, and accelerate creativity without outsourcing a thing—yet proper writing is treated like a suspicious artifact. Don’t let any machine think for you. A tool is a tool. If you hand over every part of your mind—coding, writing, reasoning—to a system, that’s not empowerment, that’s dependency. Writers have used ghostwriters for decades. Students have used Grammarly for faster checks. None of that made them less human. It just made the workflow easier… as long as they stayed in the driver’s seat. Idiocracy really is at hand. We have tools that could resurrect proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar—and instead there’s a social reward for sounding like you flunked eighth-grade English. Not me. Aside from a few modern conventions—using “I” sparingly to avoid sounding like a narcissist, or using some degree of shorthand in private texts for efficiency—I’m going to keep writing properly. I’m going to keep using full sentences. I wrote this way long before AI, and writing has always been one of my strongest skills. I refuse to degrade it for anyone or anything. #IKITAO #AvaQuotes

The fifth question: Osho, What is your definition of a politician? If a man dodges cars, he is a pedestrian. If he dodges taxes, he is a businessman. If he dodges responsibilities, he is an executive. And if he dodges everything, he is a politician. And the last question: Osho, Once you told a joke for Purna who was leaving. I am staying. Will you tell a joke for me too? Okay. A Jewish rabbi decided to sit in with the priest in his confessional box to learn the principles of the Catholic religion. Two women came, one after the other, and confessed to having had intercourse with their boyfriends, not only once but three times. For penance the priest told them to say three Pater Nosters and put ten dollars in the poor box. The priest was called away urgently to give last rites to a dying man. He told the rabbi to stay and hear the confessions for the rest of the people. "Just remember to get the ten dollars," he said before leaving. The first confessor was a young girl who told the rabbi that she had had intercourse with her boyfriend. "Three times?" questioned the rabbi. "Oh no, Father, just once," replied the girl. "Are you quite sure it wasn't three times?" "No, Father, only once," insisted the young girl. "Well," suggested the rabbi, "I tell you what. Just say three Pater Nosters, put ten dollars in the box, and the church will owe you two fucks." Enough for today. — Osho (I Am That, Ch 12: A Mystery Has to Be Lived) #IKITAO #OSHO #AJokeForToday

Archiving Osho's (nearly) complete video discourses — 1300+ DVDs, spanning over 35 years — into 1:1 quality digital file format. It's currently taking ~3 hrs per disc. I have one of the largest original high-quality collections of #Osho on video you'll find anywhere... and growing. Doing my part to futureproof the archive for future generations. 🙏💜
