Funny how you can be at 2am, wrecked by a shitty day and absolutely exhausted, trying to sleep but wide awake. And then, you can be driving, all cells of your body focusing on staying awake, but still your mind wants to go to sleep and shut itself off.

#Coffee Ramblings, Vol. I I like coffee. Coffee likes me. I didn't use to like coffee but coffee liked me and engineered a series of fortuitous work-based encounters so that I would begin to like it. And now I drink coffee every day. But I'm suspicious of it. Current research doesn't indicate that coffee consumption carries any health related risks but a small part of my lizard brain keeps blinking like a discreet alarm light, softened by years of drinking our brown-black friend. I really don't like coffee. I like how it tastes, I like the boost it gives me, I like how I feel drinking it. But like a toxic relationship, I'm damned if I do, and damned if I don't. If I drink too much, I sleep worse, and thus I'm forced to rely on it the next day. If I don't drink enough, I get headaches. Don't get me wrong, it's no heroine. I've kicked the habit a few times already, keeping it as a tool in reserve for when I'm just in need of its boost. But life makes it so easy to rely on it, so encouraging. Each and every single time I've ended up where I'm now – wondering whether I'm drinking too much. Such a strange relationship with what basically is brown-dust infused water & milk (no #sugar, I don't hate myself enough for that). #coffeechain

I'm loving the parallel growth of #nostr and #SimpleX #grownostr #growSimpleX

We've come a long way from the Investiture Controversy of the 11th century to the e-Thot Schism of 2023 #nostr #bluesky #egirls #onlyfans

I've just watched Louis Rossman's latest video on #ManifestV3. I'm far from being an expert on this kind of stuff, but at this point it's par for the course to see megacorporations attempting to wall off the internet so sadly it doesn't really surprise me. The internet of old is dead, and our current internet is little more than the emanations of its rotting carcass. #nostr, projects like #GrapheneOS, and in general the #OpenSource sphere is our only hope. But more and more I feel that this hope is turning into a hope for small, refugee communities of nostalgics, more and more isolated from the mainstream. I hope also to be wrong. #grownostr https://farside.link/invidious/watch?v=0i0Ho-x7s_U

Question to my non-Esperanto speaking friends: friends: Had you heard about #Esperanto before? #asknostr

Bonan tagon al #nostr kaj puran vivon, sed bonegan kaj puregan al tiuj kiuj parolas #Esperanto n #GM #PV
