Good Christmas Morning!

Look what just arrived. 🙂 Who wants a game?

GN I'm working hard to forget that I've clearly found the Eye of Sauron...

Listening to radio... Radio: Japanese scientists have returned moths taken into space. Me: ? odd, I guess they've had frogs up there, why not moths. Maybe it's research into pollinators? Radio: The moths have been in space for over 9 months. Me: Impressive, how long is a moth's lifespan? Radio: The scientist say they were impressed that even after being outside the space station for 9 months, when returned to the lab, the vast majority of the moths successfully grew and reproduced. Me: WFT? Radio: They predict, based on this data, that MOSS spores could survive up to 15 years in space and still grow healthily afterwards. Me: Shame, that would've been epic.

A new pleb (well, Nostr user at least) to welcome. Not that it should make a difference but this one is a reporter, and hence can amplify the effect of a warm welcome! View quoted note →

I LOVED this interview. It's so inspiring to hear about freedom tech projects advancing in the shadows. I had the pleasure/opportunity to test fedimint at a workshop at Bitcoin Atlantis. The Fedi team impressed me there & this interview revealed how hard they've been working. I'm feeling really bullish about community custody (& I don't service my car beyond screen wash, wiper blades & an occasional oil change!), particularly in the under-banked / unbanked communities.

Thanks for the high signal, here's a small amount of value in return. I'm a few shows out but PLEASE stay audio focussed. Visuals (e.g. notes on your nostr account) as an add-on would be a bonus but I'm finding I have to stop, dry/clean my hands multiple times per show where they've leaned more heavily into video. It's frustrating, when I've hit a rhythm in some tedious chore, and am successfully transported to realms of self-sovereign contemplation / education, to have to stop what I'm doing and drop back into reality to work out what on earth they're talking about! It makes the task seem longer and I enjoy the show a bit less. Anyway that's my view. Thanks for all the work you put in.
