Been recently thinking about threat modeling. I’m guilty for opting for the newest tool that promises stronger security and privacy without deeply thinking through whether it’s necessary or even helpful to my specific circumstances. I’m hoping this article on threat modeling will help me start making better decisions.

Your Security Plan

Trying to protect all your data from everything all the time is impractical and exhausting. But, have no fear! Security is a process, and through t...

Anyone have any experience with using Habla, Yakihonne, or Blogstack for long-form blogs? I’m curious how they compare and people’s recommendations. #asknostr

Anyone know if any bitcoin or nostr projects that use either Rust, Clojure, or Haskell? Looking to find a project that will enable to to learn one of these languages and contribute to a project in this ecosystem. #programming #grownostr #growbitcoin

最近、ZSAヴォヤージャーを買っています。使うのは楽しいです。持った前に番号ローが押しにくいか親指キーの数が足りないか気にしましたのです。理由はほとんど小さいキー配置を使います。けれど、ヴォヤージャーは快適です。番号ローが便利だし、キーの数のおかげで、もっと親指キーが必要ありませんからです。 II recently bought the ZSA voyager keyboard and I’m enjoying using it. Coming from a background of using small keyboard layouts, I was concerned about how difficult it would be to use the number row and whether there were too few thumb keys. However, after using the keyboard, I found it to be comfortable to use. The number row has been useful and due to the number of keys, I don’t feel the need to have more thumb keys. #language #japanstr #japanese #MechanicalKeyboard

I feel like I need popcorn when reading Broken Money. Lyn is reading US for filth and I’m loving it! On p. 143 and she just got done talking about how we screw over developing countries by raising interest rates to strengthen the dollar relative to their local currencies and then swoop in to “help” by giving them even more dollar denominated loans. #bitcoin #brokenmoney #plebchain

@Lyn Alden, does Broken Money contain dark humor or is it just me? After you detail the establishment of the petrodollar system, I soon after read the following. “In 1999, Saddam Hussein of Iraq (which at the time had the second-largest oil reserves) began selling oil in the newly created euro”. At this point I know that this shit won’t fly because the deal was to only be slinging oil for Benjamin’s. Then we get to the following sentence. “The public reason at the time was focused on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, which were never found and were never there.” I couldn’t help but think of the Black Bush Dave Chappell Show skit with “yellow cake” uranium.

@Lyn Alden just started reading Broken Money. While reading the intro, I felt relief that I wasn’t crazy for believing that the financial system is breaking and will not last. I also felt like I wasn’t alone and that there are others who want to think deeply about this subject and figure out how to fix things and make it better. I’m loving Chapter 1 so far with its down to earth explanations of money’s origin as a ledger. One example that comes to mind is explaining the mental ledger through swapping chores.

Any advice on how to make friends on nostr? I’m a techie that never was big on social media. However, it’s been difficult to find people who care about things like freedom tech in my offline interactions. My current experience of posting on nostr feels like shouting into a void. Any advice for how to make meaningful connections for a social media newbie would be greatly appreciated. #asknostr
