Can anyone recommend open source software to create a QR code locally without having to share that data with an external service?

💡🔗 In Plato's cave, people perceive shadows as reality, until they step into the sunlight and discover the truth. Similarly, #Bitcoin shines a light on the flaws of traditional finance, revealing the potential for a more transparent and equitable system. Just as stepping out of the cave brings enlightenment, embracing Bitcoin brings financial freedom, decentralization, and a chance to redefine the rules of the game.

The food we are told to eat as Americans is poison for our bodies. The numbers of changing that tell the full story. After #[1]​ inspired me to get my shit together and get healthier on April 7th 2023, I started the following: 1.) Adopted a paleo/carnivore-style diet (50% Protein, 45% fat, 5% carbs as a % of total calories) Mainly red meat, chicken, pork, and fish. 2.) Total body weight lifting routine every single day (Upper/lower split every other day) for 30-60 min tops. 2 x 20 min walks a day. Averaging about 7k steps a day, trying to get this to 10k). 3.) Started intermittent fasting. Last meal of the day 5pm. First meal of the day 11am-12pm. Always started my workout after fasting 16 hours min. Trying to remain in Ketosis and resting periodically with PerfectKeto strips. Results: 1.) Weight down 15+lbs from 187 to 171 in less than 2 months. 2.) Dropped over 5% body fat. 3.) Resting heart rate consistently below 60. (mid 50s now from high 60s) 4.) ALT levels dropped by over 15%. Take the time to care for yourself. It can be easy to get caught up with work and think you have no time. Like #[2]​ said, “you can change it if you want to”. No amount of money in the world is worth more than your health. What do you want more?

Hey #[1]​ - Are you still mining with compass by chance? If not, does anyone have any recommendations for a good place to get started? Has anyone down the calculation to determine what cost for the miner and hosting does it make or not make sense to mine? Thanks!

If you had to show 1 video on YouTube to someone explaining what Bitcoin is and why it’s important, which video would you send and what specifically stood out to you about that? Let me know!

Be your own bank… Be your own doctor… Be your own security… Be your own author… If you don’t like the book you’re reading, turn the page.

BlueWallet and ColdCard seem to go together like Peanut butter and jelly, Kool-Aid and water, or even Ham and Cheese. It’s super simple to manage Multisig from your mobile device while having the security of cold storage. Has anyone else put together a better setup than these two tools, especially for a Multisig for a family-office or small business? Let me know!

Going back in time with my next 2 reads for April/May. Anyone read this before?

Can anyone help put me in touch with someone from Boston Bruins Foundation to process a payment for a happy birthday message to my son on the video scoreboard for this Monday’s game? I submitted the form but need to pay via CC before Monday! Thanks!

Time is the great equalizer and it is all we really have.

#[0]​ Motivated me to get my ass into shape last week when discussing resting heart rates. Since then, my diet has been on point, exercise has been consistent and I’ve spent more time outdoors. I’ve also spent less time on my phone (screen time down 40% vs last week). It’s still early, but results look promising.
