Your money is not money

I tend to go eating when my dog gets hungry. Bull market vibes. Yesterday we shared ostrich.

Shoutout to @jack for shilling nostr not bluesky

Why am I not seeing pictures in my Damus app today?! As long as this happens frequently I can not onboard my normies.

While this is a great talk by Jack Maller introducing the thought that PoW introduced an arrow of time, he also shits on Solana which sees using PoW as a clock. And use that to timestamp transactions at the speed of light. BTC and SOL are not so different afterall.

I’ll probably become a stoic.

Enjoy the moment before it becomes a memory

I tried to book a bunch of servers. Cheap VPS in US central to test something. 4 of 5 failed to accept my company debit card. They either blocked me right away but then went on writing me angry emails saying that I need to pay the generated invoice or get suspended while ignoring every support request that I sent to resolve the issue. Or they asked me to send them a printout form with a copy of my physical card and my drivers license plus a signature stating that I’m okay with getting charged through that card by them. One Hoster whitelisted me after a support request. And the cheapest one just waved me through. It would be so much easier if my company could just pay with Bitcoin. But if we do anything with crypto we get legal troubles and might get expelled. Early.

It seems to be a problem to extract signal from zaps to curate recommended notes because the actual cost for someone to become the top note is not the lighting payment but the tx cost which is zero (?) if he sets up his own nodes and channels to tip himself. Am I wrong?

I’m so fucking tired of everything

„Bitcoin will capture the monetary premium of real estate“ Beautifully put.

Today I woke up to catastrophe. The interesting life challenges of a sysadmin. Feels like immanent death at any time. No wonder I turned my hair white within a year.

Just because god told them the world would be better if they got their way.

Lately I keep loosing my dog and he likes swimming in the ocean so the AirTags that use to track him keep breaking from salt water immersion. I need to teach him that home is where your motorbike is parked. Hopefully he gets it today. Or he is a lost puppy.

Why are most people either idiots or criminals?

My dog is the only foreigner in this goddamn tourist ghetto that I want to have a conversation with.

Vietnam has severe connectivity problems. Blocked domains include: - nzz.ch - medium.com - TradingView.com Sometimes I couldn’t even checkout repositories from GitHub. Probably I’m missing something and the government just protects their citizens. Or they make money from VPN?

How would a nostr device look like? There have been der vices that have only been useful for tweeting. They can be with global data coverage in GSM networks and has a physical keyboard. That would be so fun to have.

How do I actually install a lightning wallet on an old Nokia?

Did anyone ever build a SMS to nostr gateway in order to simulate the early days of Twitter? Should we do it? Connecting feature phones to zaps… @jack
