I get it when normies are too dumb and fall back into their old habits. But Luke? What is that, the longing for censorability? And isn't Discord KYC'd now? View quoted note →

Lessons from these days: If you're not using AI to audit your own projects, the bad guys definitely are, and sooner or later they'll kick your ass. The days of "I'm a super coder ninja" are over. Arrogance gets punished hard. (And forget about using Claude Code for that. They'll kick you out sooner or later for running security audits. They'll accuse you of "suspicious behavior" right away.)

Phase 1: "It's optional" View quoted note →

Man, the Friday prayers are turning more and more into a test of patience. Some guy left his phone on and loud in a bag and it kept ringing the whole time, for 2 rak'ats straight. Nobody reacted, neither the owner nor the imam. Not even afterwards. The owner quietly grabbed his backpack and disappeared into the crowd. Jumu'ah mubarak!

There are scripted crime stories. There are interactive crime stories with different alternative endings. And then there are those live crime stories where you go online every day to find out the next chapter.

Hey guys, have you seen any mainstream media coverage of the Coinkite scandal by now? I mean, the whole thing's got to be big enough for that, right? 1500 BTC gone (and counting), a lousy patch, and tons of indications even on social media. That's already enough material for a Netflix documentary. At the very least, a few reporters should have woken up by now. #asknostr

Here's another thing that came out of this crisis: most of you aren't Nostr maximalists. You've still got one foot on X. To each their own, but this way mass adoption is never going to happen when the important Bitcoin topics aren't primarily discussed here. And no, not even if you say "but I want to pull people from over there to here." Not as long as screenshots of tweets are being shared here instead of the other way around. Don't kid yourselves about that.

Today was a tough day. I replaced the sink, the whole sink unit with the basin in the kitchen. Old one out to the bulk trash, new one in. What a filthy job. But I noticed while doing it that the industry really uses all kinds of different formats for the connections. An inlet pipe is a few millimeters bigger than the old one, screw fittings are all different sizes and lengths... and they expect us IT folks to deliver standards and universal compatibility. But in the real world they haven't managed to standardize the connections for decades and still produce slop.

The people running this npub are absolutely no Bitcoiners and have no clue what Bitcoin is. View quoted note →

Indeed. If you can't sketch out your project idea in 5 minutes, don't even bother starting. View quoted note →

Quite concerning news about Buzz. Would have to audit it myself if I had any interest in using tools like that. View quoted note →

Gotta get rid of this 💩. Really. Won't get better any time soon. View quoted note →
