It’s not some that just happens. What has always led to this for me is genuine seeking of Him while reading the Bible or even just dwelling on Him and His ways in prayer etc.
I can read the same passage in the Bible ten times but each time I approach with a heart that’s patient and awaiting His insight while reading, new perspective is revealed. I know when He is speaking through His Word to me compared to when I’m just reading it with my own reasoning.
We can lie to ourselves but we can’t lie to Him. It’s not easy to put everything else on hold and enter into time with Him that is not pressured and without agenda. But that’s what He desires. Quality time and hears listening and heart seeking.
In that place there is so much beauty and intimacy. He is a good, good Father.

I understand this from a sustainability perspective, but hard to imagine looking back at some asknostr questions and possibly only seeing my OP with no comments anymore as the relays aren’t persisting the useful replies.

Maybe we don’t need to grow that fast? There’s still so much to work out and improve. Not sure we’re ready for mass adoption yet.
Those that reject it because of bitcoin will later come back because of bitcoin.
Nostr is about freedom. So is bitcoin. Id question whether trying to forcefully separate them has value or is even possible.

Made some Greek Kolokithokeftedes (zucchini fritters) and Spanakopita (spinach pie) last night. First time.
Both delicious. Added a little bit of minced beef/pork in the spinach pie. The fitters were great with tzatziki!

Looking for an alternative to Raspberry Pi for running various tools (including a bitcoin node, maybe a lightning node, other non bitcoin stuff like home assistant etc).
I always hear @npub1az9…m8y8 complaining about RPi and it’s closed sourceness. When I first started learning about Bitcoin I set up a node (just to get up running quickly) on Umbrel on a Pi 4 and it’s been running seamlessly since.
But I’m a software engineer and can/should do better, but am new to focusing on privacy/security on a lower level. Great time to learn.
I don’t live in my home country any more and so don’t have any old computers lying around. Also have limited space, so the size of a raspberry pi is ideal. I might have multiple of these set up to separate concerns. Running in my home LAN (maybe some on wifi, some cable).
What are some recommended open source alternatives to RPi?
Orange Pi?

Yeah I went straight to 100. But obviously split it out over a few hours. In batches of 20.
I used to do loooots of push-ups and loved them, so my body probably remembers it somehow and didn’t mind it.
Of course, being unfit still caused muscles stiffness for the first 3 days.
But have a bad cold now and don’t want to waste recovery energy on pushups haha
Thanks for the advice though!

For a long time (4 months?) I had updates disabled just so I could keep the version of Damus that could still zap notes. BUT eventually it stopped working and I was tired of having to manually select updates for all the other apps, so re-enabled auto-update. haha. Primal was still allowing zaps at the time IIRC. But yeah, nothin' now.
I must try get set up like you!

It's also harder to zap now from iOS. I don't want to zap profiles. And I don't want to setup the primal wallet thing.

Let me know what you think. I usually toast them in butter before using as well. You can probably see in my burger photo, the slight crust.
But they are prone to being quite wet/soft rather than dry/soft. The egg white glaze adds to the stickiness too.
It can probably be improved. But I still love them

Day 2 complete
20+20+20+20+10+10 (all regular)
Have a feeling these two days will show in stiffness tomorrow. I wonder if it’s better to let the muscles recuperate before continuing on
Stoked I learned about this and joined in now. Wish it’d been sooner. Love push ups and was so unfit. Just what I need.
Looking forward to adding variations.

So for a few weeks I won't drink coffee on Wed, Thu, Fri. Need it for Monday and Tuesday, and weekends should be enjoyed.
Today is the first day without it and it's hard. It sucks. Rooibos tea is not cutting it. But let's see how day two and three go!

Ah lovely place. Just be careful of the water apparently. My buddy went there, fell off a scooter and grazed his leg.

A bounty-type Q&A note kind would be cool. Say for example, you have a question you really want answered. So much so, that you put up a bounty of sats to the best answer (or best answers).
At some point (time limit? ad-hoc?) you select your favorite answer to which the sats get sent.
Not sure it'd be possible to lock up the sats to ensure someone gets paid though, without knowing the recipient in advance.

Any suggestions for a secure/encrypted text editor? Or some sort of encrypted container? (on Ubuntu)
Use-case: I want to make notes that are encrypted at rest on my computer. Ideally it would be encrypted in memory/swap etc. too but that's probably asking too much. Basically I don't want to have to decrypt/encrypt manually each time and don't want to run the risk of leaving non-encrypted versions lying around.

The only thing is that you cannot delete your data or your identity. Not that there is any guarantee about that with other mainstream services either (even with GDPR etc). But the term “owning one’s data” might give that impression.

The equation is basically Hash(x) < DIFFICULTY.
And it's solving for x. The method it uses to solve the equation just happens to be brute force guessing, but that doesn't mean it isn't solving a difficult equation. Try rewriting that equation with `x` on the left and you'll see how difficult it is.

I think it’s because software engineers are shittier than their hardware counterparts of yesterday. And many of the problems we see are to do with software or the sw/hw interfacing. Despite the significantly easier ability to test software than hardware.
Although I think hardware might be a more deterministic in terms of possible states to consider and test for whole software has states of the application as well as hardware and the effects of other concurrent applications.
But definitely your observation could be due to this migration to a thicker software layer (multiple layers, in fact)

I got fined in Japan the other day for driving too long in the right hand lane (usually the overtaking lane in Japan) in the middle of the country side where there was no one around.
I was showing my visiting parents the scenery, and saw the cops speeding up behind me , so I pulled over to let them past (because I was in the fast lane and know the rules).
They slowed down as they passed me and waved me over to give me a fine.
Funny thing is that I was actually over the speed limit and thought that's why they would fine me.. But no, "driving in the passing lane for too long"
Japanese police really don't have much to do though, except reach their quotas.

2024-07-04 18:19:36

What is the feasibility of running bitcoin nodes on radio. As in, they don’t (only) connect to other nodes via internet connections but also by broadcasted radio signals.
I know some radio signals have decent range but I’m not sure on bandwidth and latency and what would be required by the Bitcoin network as-is.
My main use-case is for how people could sync nodes in a case where the internet is shut off or censored or excessively priced.
Even if for just a local area, with some edge nodes connecting to the internet where available.
I don’t know much about radio but it would be really cool if possible - and would be another plan for resilience.
(I know there have been projects that send transactions over radio, but I don’t believe they were full nodes)

Its not my field but AI advancements I see mostly are mostly generative LLM or Image diffusion models etc. all pattern based.
Is there any work being done on logic learning AI that would actually be more of a form intelligence rather than an imitation?

From what I have read LLMs are just glorified “complete the sentence:” monkeys.

Love Romans12 - all of Romans, actually. A pastor I watch online a lot often says "It takes two to tango ; but only one to make peace."
Speaking the truth in love and kindness, is the hardest - whether with a stranger or a spouse. It's mostly ourselves that get in the way. Trying to wrestle the other person's mind. Humility, and grace are key, but so hard to practise in every moment.
Thank God for His Spirit in us. But these qualities don't come without conscious submission and surrender in such moments. We have to unlearn human nature of the flesh.

In the future I can imagine myself having multiple wallets, be it Lightning or ecash, which I segregate by use case and use some app that abstracts these being categories like “groceries” or “entertainment” etc, allowing me to budget each month by just automatically topping up each wallet appropriately at month start from a main Bitcoin wallet.
I can imagine working in layers of decreasing liquidity like this. Almost like the storage/memory layers in computers. They get bigger and slower where you access them less frequently

Laziness is an enemy of improvement.
Don’t give up on things because they’re inconvenient. If you believe in them, work to improve them

二千百兆 the maximum number of sats to ever exist. 21e14.
In Japanese 10^8 is 一億 (oku) so 1bitcoin is 1 oku sats.
But with 21m Bitcoin, that means 21x10^14 sats. 10^12 is 1兆 (chou) in Japanese. So we’d have 2100兆 sats ever created. You can write 2100 with characters for “two thousand hundred” 二千百, so altogether it’s 二千百兆 (ni sen hyaku chou) sats

I wonder what the trends are like so the regard to engineers starting on Bitcoin projects vs shitcoin projects now compared to 4 years ago.
Are people starting to realize the shitness and see where the real value is yet?

Yup. Japanese included.
10k = 1man
10k man = 1oku
=> 1BTC = 1oku sats

Worked for me! Was never excessive. I don’t even remember it hurting ever. Think it was just the concept of punishment. Which is something everyone should understand and young kids (and some adults) maybe can’t reason about yet.
