Does power corrupt, or does it simply attract people who are already corrupt?

GM, #nostr

Just had a completely random thought. In my language, if someone is talking nonsense, we tell them (literally translated) "You're shitting door handles." I guess it's just my brain trying to lighten today's mood.

Oh, wow, some days are just awful. I just realized that a very complicated system I developed isn't working properly and will have to take it completely apart and rebuild it from scratch.

GM, #nostr !

GM #nostr The morning after a long hike, a steak is more than welcome. I have mine in the sous vide.

Peak #3 conquered. Poor signal up there, now on my way back. Took me half as long as the signpost said.

Peak no.2 conquered. Off to the final peak.

First peak conquered... A bit unimpressive, but a nice climb.

Some family time.

Enuff work for a Sunday, I'm off to hang out with my family. ✅ #Bitcoin node is fully synced ✅ #Lightning network node is up ✅ lightning channels are open ✅ lnbits is configured to use my lnd wallet ✅ relaycreator is configured to use lnbits ❌ something's not working tho, can't create new relays, but I need a break I'll keep you updated.

#Bitcoin node is up and fully synced!

After following a bunch of new people from engagements by the people I follow and who follow me, I find the latest post from my followers was 56 minutes ago I'm thinking I'm not doing enough on #nostr, so I go to global. Global: Here's a Hentai bot, a porn profile, a bunch of posts in Chinese, BTC tickers, gaming streams, and... the maker of wallets made from squirrel fur in the shape of an actual squirrel... 😲

The awakening - the way I see it - is when you're filled with dread about the prospect of dying knowing that you've achieved nothing you consider meaningful. If it's not powerful enough to move you to search for what is meaningful to you, it's not awakening. View quoted note →
