I work at the intersection of technology, ethics, and regeneration. I help people and organizations build digital solutions that are not only sustainable, but that strengthen the whole, from local knowledge to global collaboration. As initiator of the Permanent Future Lab movement #PFLab, I explore how open sharing can drive tech innovation for everyone. I’m involved with npub15qgfat6kkmzecup683u64lalqdceaejq97d8z8njhwk0c68umx6qcs5dcm and with multiple Nostr initiatives such as the Hello Nostr Starter Kit at hellonostr.dev, opencollective.xyz , noalt.app, Kidstr, npub1smwy5s5ypu823cemndwrg7252wdgdpnmufc7tkz9zxumta724u0qz5t0n6 , npub1mswm0kyce37jsnrwa3jelm469rcnezyq505djwl4aparmf4xf2es8rxl8w and others.
Good morning GM from Sri Lanka, Colombo airport. I just arrived😊 #travelstr #srilanka
At Amsterdam airport, off to Sri Lanka, where I get to be at @Nomishka wedding. I'll finally meet @Iftakhar Hasnayen Abir in person after more than 10 years of knowing each other online, and I'll get to see @npub1nu5r...hjyn again. Fenna came to see me off. I'm bringing my Nostr shirt and will wear it again when we celebrate 100 editions of Nostr Recap.

2,5 years ago @BitPopArt designed the Halving art. There were many Nostriches supporting him, I saved them in a list naddr1qvzqqqr4xqpzplaukurf77496md3984nne7c49ufgekj2knr0wkpa0uxz7c9wszyqqwyy6t5wphhqctjwssysctvwe5kueeq23exjcnpdssxzun526x5s3 . Now that I'm going to be a digital nomad, I don't have room for it anymore. Luckily @Sebastix will take care of it.
Who is going to the Bitcoin Marathon in Chiang Mai in November? #chiangmai #thailand #bitcoin #asknostr
The people in Morocco are so friendly. On Friday, a whole group at a restaurant treated me to couscous. I also took a taxi once, and the driver gave me the ride for free. Highly recommended.

As the Dutch, we were early adopters of social media. One of the platforms was Hyves, which hosted millions of Dutch profiles where people could send each other public messages known as "Krabbels" and share GIFs of dancing bananas. Pure nostalgia. Hyves shut down in 2013, yet data has been preserved through various channels. Currently, Sebastix is pioneering a project called Nyves 
. Having received initial financial support from SIDN, he is breathing new life into archived profiles from the old Hyves platform using the Nostr protocol. It is remarkable that we can now access old platform data in a decentralized way. Sebastix has made great progress with a solid foundation at nyves.nl, but he could certainly use funding for further development. Given his track record with other successful projects such as Nostr at FOSDEM, the Nostr-PHP library, and web bookmarking. I have full confidence that he will make Nyves a success as well.
Welkom bij Nyves - breng jouw Hyves profiel terug tot leven
Nyves heeft als doel om oude Hyves-profielen opnieuw tot leven te brengen met een moderne, open webapplicatie gebaseerd op het Nostr-protocol.
Camel meat burger, it was a bit hard to find, but in Fes there is. @npub1hugc...r2a7 recommended it to try. So, thank you Samir. It tastes mostly as beef, but a bit more dry.

Meknes, you were nice and kind. Not that many tourists, more authentic connections. #travelstr #Morocco #Meknes
Traveling with my backpack in the north of Morocco. Have visited Assilah, Larache and Rabat, going by train to Meknes this afternoon. Thereafter Fez, Chefchaouen. Any nostriches here too? #asknostr #morocco #travelstr
Recently, a good friend gave me this little bracelet as a gift.
He told me it would bring me good luck. 🍀
Well, it certainly made for an interesting start to my journey in Morocco... 😄
The taxis are a bit different here. It was a private shared taxi, which was a bit weird, and it started driving in a different direction. Because of the language barrier, there was some misunderstanding, and since I was confused, I accidentally left my phone on the seat.
I then took another taxi back to the airport and luckily found the same taxi driver, who still had my phone. He was very friendly. After that, some locals also helped me find a good taxi to my accommodation.
So perhaps the bracelet really does bring good luck after all. 😉
All’s well that ends well!
