Nobody cares that you're not adding a #Monero address to your profile. It's your loss. Lightning users are stingy, out here throwing pennies at each other while #Monero people are making it rain.

If the FBI comes after you for hosting CSAM on your media servers, just blame the users for not reporting it. That's what I learned today.

GM nostr! I'm always so early in saying don't trust so-and-so and then I get so much push back... And I'm like, alright, I'll just shut my damn mouth and keep my thoughts to myself until all you fucks realize I'm right... There's still a lot of you all up on Michael Saylor's dick as well, just saying... View quoted note →

I love when I give ChatGPT some files and instructions and watch it work away for almost 30 minutes on my prompt. In my head I picture rows and rows of GPUs running red hot somewhere to deliver in 30 minutes what would be a week's worth of work for me. All for a $20/month subscription. I don't think OpenAI is making any money off of me with as much compute time as I put on their model. 🤣

GM nostr! What's everybody building today? I've got to take the publisher quality metrics I've been collecting for a week and wire in publisher-direct RSS feeds to my app's backend for faster news alerts and scraping.

Bitcoin doesn't need to play nice with the banking system, or seek the approval of regulators or the Jewish banker cartel. If you think that, you have lost the fucking plot.

Pay attention to what they do, not what they say. Many pay lip service to the freedom ethos of Bitcoin, but in practice you can see that it's merely an investment asset to them. All that they truly care about is realizing massive capital gains. Number go up at all costs. Bitcoin didn't used to be dominated by that culture of greed. "Number go up" replaced "freedom money" as the dominant mindset in the space. I've been mulling over this culture shift all morning in light of the Bitcoin Magazine conference 🤮 and I think I'm going to have to get it off my chest and write an article on Yakihonne later today.

GM nostr people 💜

There was an interesting situation that developed in Zimbabwe with currency hyperinflation. As inflation accelerated and the government began printing larger and larger denominated bills, eventually this hyperinflation reached the inevitable end where even a wheelbarrow load of the largest denomination bills was effectively worthless. When this happened, the government responded by replacing the currency. A whole new currency was issued and the old currency was banned. The government hadn't learned the correct lesson however and the new currency also accelerated into hyperinflation, quickly losing purchasing power. Here's the interesting part: as the new currency became increasingly worthless while the old currency became increasingly scarce, a black market sprang up in parts of the country where people started transacting in bills of the old currency, because enough of it had been destroyed and the government was no longer printing it, so people were able to agree on an exchange rate for what bills were left of it.

Might see some interesting collaboration between Google and Anthropic come out of this, considering they're both developing their own models.

The advantage with Knots is that it's much more configurable than Core. If you're just running Knots with the defaults then you're just running the 'opinion' of the Knots devs instead of that of the Core devs. The thing with Knots however is that there are a lot more knobs to play with so that you can run an opinionated node that matches your ethos.

I see it as being a time to step away from worldly toil and focus on reflection.

Excited for this only because it gives more competitive incentive for other companies to improve the efficiency of their models, but I can't in good faith use a Chinese AI model.

I look forward to services like @npub1ex7m...vyt9 being rendered wholly obsolete.

Capitalism is nothing more than a slur coined by Marx to refer to the post-industrialization era free market. Modern Feminism and the economic/political -isms are all aligned with Marxism in their view of the free market because they are all familial philosophical branches of Marxism. Feminism is a movement to destroy the natural family unit ordained by God. Christianity is the true feminism as it glorifies the role of the wife and mother. A man who abuses or does not glorify his wife is not in keeping with the commandments of God. There is no need to free women from the highest and honorable calling of motherhood. It took decades of propaganda to convince women that debasing themselves with sexual promiscuity and choosing to serve a boss rather than a husband and family was actually lifting them up in life. How can a civilization continue without stable, loving families raising the next generation? Modern feminism is a destructive force that should be rejected.

Thank you for echoing this truth. View article →

There will likely be people who sell or lend their verified network access to others, but doing so will run the same risks as running a TOR exit node. I ran a TOR exit node on a server for a while and I had to have a pre-written legal letter that sent in reply to the multiple complaints I received per day about illegal activity originating from the server IP address. It became too much of a headache and when I was finished with the project for which I was using the rented bare metal server in the Netherlands I shut down the TOR node and cancelled the server rental. The company I was renting from was very liberal however about not shutting me down for running an exit node as long as I promptly replied to every complaint received regarding the traffic emanating from it.

The US military understands the difference between encrypted and private, which is why they classify niprnet and siprnet. niprnet is any internet routing over the public internet. siprnet is internet routing over a physically separate network that is not connected to public internet infrastructure, and all documents and communications classified as Secret or higher are only accessible over siprnet.
