With large cast iron comes large responsibility.

Considering adding video versions of my business's weekly blog. I already do audio versions to practice speaking, but video would give me the opportunity to practice physical presentation as well.

With YouTube being an ever-increasing clown show, what are people using for posting public video and sharing on nostr?

Based for multiple reasons. YouTube is a company and can do whatever they damn well please with their company. Since YouTube isn’t based, getting kicked off can be taken as a compliment. This may force Simply Bitcoin onto a more based platform; ideally a decentralized one. If no good alternative exists, maybe they’ll help build one 😶🤞 View quoted note →

New strategy I’m going to try out on Twitter/X: When I come across a based post or comment I’m going to comment with “Based. DM me a lightning invoice for Xsats and I’ll pay it.” (X will vary depending level of based-ness.) Let’s see how this goes.

I need to crawl around on a ladder and in my ceiling to do some physical infrastructure things, but I'd much rather work on my lightning infrastructure. Realistically I could do both today but I'd rather be a baby about it. ... ...Damn, that's not very baseposting of me, I should probably do the things and post about them instead 😅

Yeet it, I'm redirecting the root domain of my personal site to my nostr profile, not just the "based" subdomain. I wasn't doing anything with it anyways.

In an effort to keep my social media presence, and my life in general, as family-friendly as possible, I try to not swear. But sometimes the gravitas is lost with alternatives. Do I give up and let my inner sailor out, or leave myself sounding neutered at times?

People are complaining about farmers market food products being more expensive than imports. Bruh, cost of living in Canada is WAY higher than where most of your food is coming from. Also volume drives costs down hugely.

GM #coffeechain. 3:30am. Yesterday overslept and spent the day blargy, today the opposite. We’ll see how the blargy thing goes once I’ve been up for a while. Being up this early I’m reminded that the days are getting shorter now. Eating breakfast by the light of Level1Techs reviewing NanoKVM. Wendell has way more deep knowledge of this stuff than I’ll ever need, but even just hearing the words helps with sysadmin things. I’ll be working on something and a keyword will trigger a memory, giving me a thread to pull on.

Hot take: Ceilings are the best place for posters.

What are the current favoured video options on nostr? If I have supermegachonker video I want to post but don't want to burden whatever external media host my client has hardcoded, is an unlisted YouTube video the way to go? Test:

I see media hosting in most clients is handled the same way as it was before my break. Clients automagically upload the chosen media file to whatever external hosting is either hardcoded or set in options. But I'd like the option to host my own while maintaining the convenience of uploading directly in the client. Anyone else doing this? Any clients support this?

I've been looking for a...grandmother-friendly...replacement term for "shitposting". Gonna try out "basedposting". In related news, the "based" subdomain on my personal domain now redirects to my nostr profile on njump.

At what point does one abandon old domains? Or is buying one a lifetime commitment? If I had FU money I wouldn't care and would keep them forever, but that is not my current situation... 😅

Hot take: If part of your culture includes rude / disrespectful behaviour, that culture is bad and you should change cultures, or at least stop participating in that aspect of that culture. Culture is no more a valid excuse for rudeness than religion.

My paid nostr relays expired while I was gone. Before I blindly renew them, are there any current / updated lists of high-quality paid relays? Bonus points for Canadian domiciled.

For two days now I've worn ankle socks with my cowboy boots, and no one has tried to stop me. Pretty sure no one has even noticed. Take that, fashion police! #onanotherwatchlist

There are two kinds of people, those who want chickens, and those who don't.
