It's corn time.
good morning and pura vida, nostr! it's the weekend. for me, that means side projects, outside yard work preparing for the upcoming winter, packing for amsterdam, and trying to spend time with my grandmother that's in the hospital. i may not be around much the next two days. keep rockin'. ๐ค๐ป๐ซ๐
Chainalysis reportedly hacked, exposing customer names and emails. 

๐จ PSA for anyone running a Linux server, node, or relay
CVE-2026-98432 is a critical Linux kernel bug (CVSS 9.8). Someone on the internet can send crafted TCP packets and take over your machine. No login needed.
Ubuntu and Red Hat haven't shipped a fixed kernel yet. Debian, SUSE, Oracle and Amazon have.
What to do today:
1. Check your kernel: uname -r
Fixed versions: 6.1.190+, 6.6.159+, 6.12.113+, 6.18.56+, 7.2.10+ or 7.3+. Below that, you're exposed.
2. If your distro has a fix, update and reboot.
3. If not, block the attack. It needs TCP packets with "IP options," which normal traffic never uses. One nftables rule drops them. Log what gets dropped so you can see if someone's probing you.
4. Turn off MPTCP unless you need it:
sysctl -w net.mptcp.enabled=0
Programs built with Go 1.24+ use MPTCP automatically, and that's how the known exploit gets in.
5. Make it survive a reboot, and check it still works after one.
If you run a Bitcoin node, a Lightning node or a Nostr relay, your machine is on the internet by design. Do this today.

i love these two nostriches. these ladies have GM'ed me back almost every single morning over the last four years. they show up. toss them a follow if you're not following them.


good morning and pura vida nostr! we're building this together. one small bit of kindness and one small shitpost at a time. each are equally important. keep bloomscrolling. ๐ซ๐ค๐ป๐
hospital wifi be all like hey we know you're here already for a bad time, but how can we make it worse for you?
Presence is the oldest medicine we have.
Before hospitals, before monitors, before anyone understood what a heart or a brain was doing, people sat with the sick. They held a hand. They stayed through the night. Nobody knew why it helped. They just knew you don't leave someone alone when they're hurting.
We've forgotten that. We think healing is something doctors do to you, and everyone else just waits in the hallway. But healing isn't only medicine. Humans are complex creatures. We heal in body, and we heal in spirit, and no doctor can prescribe the second one.
Be present when the people you love need you. It could be the difference between recovery and the alternative.
not upset at anything nostr related <3 love you all. just using nostr as my creative outlet and venting to my family here <3 appreciate all of you.
appreciate the hugs. i needed that.
i was feeling so very frustrated and so very angry earlier.
i still am angry, but the two hour drive i had calmed me down a lot. and now im more angry at the situation and not the individuals.
now im trying to figure out how to channel the anger into something useful.
i may write about it.

Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! What a time to be alive. ๐ซ๐ค๐ป๐
Could Google have cracked RSI? The leap to Argon and now just two weeks later to Carbon seems wild. I haven't used either of these models, so these statements are all just based on benchmarks and not real world use.
