I have found this analogy between a yardstick and #Scouting to be very true. Take 3 minutes and have a watch - it’s thought provoking even if not a Scout.

Truth within #comedy is pretty grand.
I really appreciate hearing other’s take on the #BitBox that I saw @Alby mention the other day. For anyone curious, here’s the write up mentioned in the linked clip:

We went to see the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey #circus last night… it was so disappointing. It had no storyline and didn’t hold a candle to before the 2017 hiatus. There was too much downtime and no continuity.

Saw this and cracked up last night. Figured others would get a chuckle from it too. #humor 
I’ve been trying out the #Fold debit card and am kinda liking getting #sats for the things I’m buying anyhow. Check it out for yourself and get 20,000 sats for free at the same time by using my referral link. #bitcoin

It seems there is a very important #security update for all #Apple devices (computers, phones, & tablets) - I suggest you update them all as soon as you have time.

Hey everyone, the very first release of #OpenVox has been released! It’s a drop in replacement for #Puppet and is ready for initial evaluation. Here’s a link to the blog post with more details via #HackerNews in hopes you’ll help vote it is so that even more people know what #VoxPupili has accomplished 😁

Oh. My. Goodness… I have wasted so much time over the last two days, and some additional time on a previous project, because of what I now know to be a failed USB enclosure for a m.2 NVMe drive! I never imagined that the enclosure itself was the failed partition 🤯

Hey @Oscar Merry - is the Fountain relay not working a known thing? Primal has shown me this for a while.
Ah, the joys of realizing you’ve been banging your head against a wall off and on for hours because the Micro SD card you’ve imagined with #RaspiBlitz is actual bad… woo hoo. At least a new set was available for overnight delivery from Amazon. Here’s hoping there aren’t any issues with the new set and I can get my #Bitcoin node online tomorrow.

It’s no longer just us #privacy advocates saying that you should use encrypted communications: now the #FBI says everyone should.

Personally, I’m a big fan of Signal but also have WhatsApp.
@Chris Fisher I’m playing catchup again on podcasts… have you all made any suggestions for people still on Alby hosted? Also, how’s that Alby Hub flake of Wes’s working? I’ve heard the last two PC2.0 board meetings and it sounds like a lot is still up in the air and that self hosted Alby Hub may be my best bet, at least in the near term.
After #Perforce Software pulled the crap recently with the community Slack, I was afraid they were up to no good. Sadly, it seems I was correct. Fortunately, Ben Ford is on top of things and it seems he and #VoxPupuli are working on a truly #OpenSource path forward for #Puppet.

Well, it looks like they did it. Perforce has all but closed the Puppet source. To be fair, they didn’t actually change the license itself, but t...

Note that Bitcoin is sincerely not like all the shit coins and crypto scams. It is fundamentally different. I’m happy to elaborate for anyone who wants.
