Translations for @SeedSigner getting closer. Currently working with a Frankenstein branch that's using some early translations from two years ago but now stuffed into our v0.7.0 code (from Nov 2023). Have a few bugs to fix at this interim milestone. Then will get this v0.7.0 + multilanguage branch up to parity with the v0.8.0 release (Aug 2024). THEN we'll work with translation experts (leaning on @My First Bitcoin) to fill in all the holes and rework text that doesn't fit in the UI. At which point we'll be very close to a de facto v0.9.0. Hopefully in time for a debut at @Adopting Bitcoin next month!

One of the amazing items in the @npub17xvf...c9as Global Bitcoin Summit swag bag was a copy of Resistance Money. Even better: got to meet the authors @Andrew M. Bailey, @Bradley Rettler, and @Craig Warmke! image But since I already had my own copy of the book, this one will be donated to Chicago BitDevs. image (sorry nostr folk, twitter handles are still easier to go by)

Okay, I'm about 3 days into learning how to make #bread and I'm now pretty sure that "no-knead" approaches are bullshit cheats. NOT where beginners should start. Learned how to slap and fold and HOLY SHIT it's amazing how the sticky gloop transforms into dough in just a few minutes. image The other key technique is "walking the dough" with a circular pull turn with a scraper. Learned it all from this tutorial: We'll see how it bakes, but feels like a huge progress milestone. #baking

I know it's dumb to look at short-term price, but #58kgang has brainwashed me so thoroughly that I cannot comprehend any kind of green candle.

Easing my way back into some light runs. Couldn't remember my prior heart rate zone / interval training sequences so just did 1-min "Hardcore" intervals with (very slow) 2-min "Endurance" cycles. image 21min, 1.9 miles. I'm a huge fan of this style of running. For most of my 20s and 30s I'd just slog through and struggle the whole way and often feel like a failure. Using intervals to space out the harder parts is just a happier existence. I realize diff types of runs, diff interval strategies, diff intensity peaks all work toward diff goals. Right now I just want to shake off years of rust with an easy program. Perfecting and optimizing the strategy can come later (tho would love to hear y'all's thoughts). ps - yes this is interval training but no, obv it isn't HIIT. Not ready for that kind of strain right now. pps - I probably need to re-guesstimate my max/min heart rate range and adjust my target zones. Ain't as young as I used to be. #running #cardio #fitness #exercise

What do the anti-seed oil folks think about algae cooking oil? I've been using avocado oil + cast iron for years. Started reading up on oxidation in olive oil (tldr: basically hopeless if you buy it at a grocery store) and apparently avocado oil can / does(?) have similar issues. This stuff claims to have more oxidative stability (when heated; dunno at rest) and the aluminum bottle is better than the typical plastic or glass. see: https://algaecookingclub.com/about #seedoil #food #foodstr #cooking
