Meta and tiktok refugees? If only there was a way to own your own digital identity and not further the aims of oligarchs and would-be tyrants. Oh well. Chuds to the left of me, Fash to the right, here I am stuck in the nostr with you.

We are back baby! I guess my Alby hub wasn't connected to the Alby extension, which is weird af because it was seemingly all good yesterday, but I just deleted all accounts and connections and it's all good now. ⚡ ⚡

And yeah, I can't zap, FFS My dumb ass will figure it out eventually. I thought it went more or less seamlessly yesterday, but I guess not.

Migrated to my Alby hub yesterday after having just used the browser extension since I created this account, and it's been a been of a mixed bag. Good things: sense of satisfaction at having my own lightning node with super low barrier to entry both from a technical and monetary point of view. Managed to fund it using Binance which I had never successfully got lightning withdrawals to work with before. Bad things: the transition was far from seamless as I lost ~400 sats, which yeah isn't a fortune, but for a humble zap farmer that's a lot of lost work. Not to mention it cost me 3X what I have in my zapping wallet just to fund the lightning channel to even use the app. Otherwise it all looked normal yesterday, but today the browser extension and the app don't seem to be synced properly, as the app shows the correct balance but the extension shows a 0 balance.

100K baybee!! Arbitrary yes, but still feels significant in a symbolic way. Another mental barrier destroyed.

Just found out on reddit that I'm apparently now living under a regime of martial law. It feels... not good. 🤢

Um, OK, this candle is not fucking around.
