Last Notes npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I think a tactic to orange pill Normie's would be telling them to prepare for $100 for a gallon of milk or loaf of bread. Or $50/pound ground beef, electricity at $2/kWh etc. These are all prices we know will happen eventually. They sound crazy but they will become normal in time. The key is right now you have a choice to either prepare by stacking Bitcoin or suffer by using fiat. Most will wait until the pain is so severe they have no choice but swallow the pill. Just a thought. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I took time today to read this piece "The Great Awakening" from @nprofile…uwzh on his site myrabbitholestory.com What a well thought out and relatable story this was. It's like we drank the same poison, struggled, found truth and persevered. Seriously, read his story I promise you will find some relation to yourself, if not it is still very informational. For me, I was just freshly married in 2020. My wife and I started our life together in debt (because that's what's normal), and had just pushed through paying it all off and moving to the mountains for our first taste of freedom. I was mountain biking all the time, living in a free state (Idaho) and enjoying life. Still something was off. I had my degree in "Economics", I was working but the economics were not working in my favor. Nor do they for anyone who is a fiat debt slave. I was at peace ripping downhill through the trees each morning, I was in chaos trying to keep up with expenses using USD. The isolation of the 2020 era drove us deep into the mountains, which was great. But also drove me inward to figure out what the hell was wrong with money. Enter Bitcoin. I read Cantillion's essay, "The Great Taking" by Webb, the Bitcoin Standard and more. Like many, I realized I was being conned and could never see it the same way again. Stacking became our lifeline. It's still not easy. We continue to grind, work to raise our family and live humbly. Friends question our choices everyday, so we keep things fairly private. However Bitcoin and Nostr have given me immense hope for the future. We will win this after all because of people like you reading this. Those of us that are writing, building, sharing on Nostr while stacking the hardest money on earth are literally the ones holding that same earth on our shoulders. We are Atlas. When we shrug, the world moves. We've already won. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM Nostr. There were a couple npubs in a @nprofile…fpyv thread talking about the annoyance of carrying a gun in the summer time heat.

I guess I meant to say a more private lobster. Its too bad OC doesn't play well with Ollama at least in my experience. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Agree 100%. I’m in the same boat, I have young kids that are going to be sharing the world with others that need this information to survive so it’s my goal to get it out there. I’ve unlearned and relearned over the past decade as well and feel that yes we have more tools available today than ever before. So if you can start in a sound way, working and saving the difference, that first decade of adult life could be incredibly powerful vs a setback that you have to dig out of. Thanks for the feedback. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Thanks, caught him on a bike ride this morning.

I've been channeling @nprofile…3j2p lately and his recent video about a 10 year sovereign plan really hit home with me. So, I'm attempting to do my part to help the next generation. There is a new crop of young folks getting ready to enter their adult life. When I was in their shoes, I was met with advice that quickly became toxic. Go to college, borrow money, work a desk job, save in a 401k, and finally hope that it all works out. All of this while our money is getting weaker, expenses are getting higher and no one has a clear answer as to why. Instead, I would like to give the answers to those problems that many of us here are already well aware of. Reason being is this cohort will not find them in the mainstream world. They will be given the same bad advice, that will not lead them to a life of abundance. It is my belief that a young person could still start out and work over time to a point where they have full control over their finances, health, and ultimately their freedom. Please share this video if you feel obliged. My goal is to have more young folks on the path to sovereignty for the sake of their own benefit. More folks choosing Bitcoin over fiat. More folks backing up their own data over being harvested in the cloud. More folks building with Private AI. More folks limiting their surveillance through Apple, and using Graphene. More folks ensuring their free speech with NOSTR, instead of being censored. There are more tools available to be sovereign today then when I was on the same path over 10 years ago. If they can begin using them on day 1 and not fall prey to conventional wisdom, I believe we can change lives. Thanks https://blossom.primal.net/a3b1835be2e063cb39bbd160f0f5149de9f29b318aa36d50f2698ba98557a857.mp4 npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Can't go wrong with that.

Fun to be a small part of it. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I've had Starlink for the past 6 months and have had no issues. I was previously paying for 200mpbs broadband but never got over 100mbps. So I was tired of being ripped off. I have the Max plan which cost the same as the broadband equivalent in my area but I get twice the speed for the same price. The app makes adding devices and creating networks super easy. The other cool thing is it could be used as internet on the go with one of their mini satellites or even the home satelite if you want. All you need is power and you'll have internet. Overall happy with it. We get a lot of power outages and communication lines down due to storms, so as long as I can power my satellite I can stay connected while others must wait for cable repairs etc. https://blossom.primal.net/f4635ae5e8676e5444fa65d79a2d7d21a7161ea9ebcee1c987a9af3c2a6f6f63.png npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Anybody know if @nprofile…9vg9 servers are impacted by the Linux Copy Fail bug? npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Pure Signal 😎 npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM!

I need some AI knowledge from you if you could please read my use case, and see if it makes sense. I am trying to build agents for a legacy business that is highly adverse to using AI due to privacy concerns etc. However, I believe I can integrate AI without exposing any critical information outside of their network. This is how I propose I pull that off. (I've also tested this with Openclaw and have a production ready version that appears to work fine). Essentially I need to take sales information (with sensitive data) and inventory information (with sensitive data) out of a database. I have no barriers to do that, but I don't want that information on a cloud server outside the network. So here is my solution. I have SQL reports run monthly, pulling this data from the database, saving it where my Openclaw agent running Ollama can get to it. Then that Ollama agent (hosted on a local private server) masks the sensitive data using SHA-256, and saves the "key" file that maps original data to masked data locally. Then another agent running Claude Haiku, gets the masked data, does some analysis on it that I need done automatically. Returns that analysis back to the Ollama agent, which then decrypts the output using the original mapping file. That way no sensitive data is getting onto Claude servers. Even though I am using API keys, I would prefer to have zero data retention, no training, no exposure whatsoever hence the Ollama hashing step. Is this sensical? Is it over engineered? Is it doing what I am describing? There is zero tolerance for data exposure, and this was the solution that I thought could address that. I would run all of the analysis locally on Ollama but I have several workflows that need to run using the output data and need OpenClaw to manage that for me. In addition, I need some compute power hence why I am electing Claude for the "hard work". I don't know that Ollama could do everything I need it to without Openclaw, and so far I haven't got those two to play well together. Let me know. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I remember when .22LR was $12 for 500 round bricks. 9mm was $9/50.

Thanks @nprofile…hltw for the reminder that I've been wanting to read this one. https://blossom.primal.net/65c73b940e21565d1ce1c10d085bbe0614e4cbc8517107780605bec461e78bce.jpg npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Good work. With AI now, ability isn't even a limitation, rather our own minds and motivation limit us more it seems. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Yes! We play hard and break stuff but that is part of being free humans. Plus it creates an opportunity to learn repairs 😂 I grew up in a home where we were discouraged not to play "too rough" to protect the material items and image. I won't be making that mistake in my home. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Peak life experience is when the kids are restless and it turns into the most epic and spontaneous dodgeball fight. My boys usually take Mom's side so its always 3 v 1. Since I get outnumbered I throw the balls as hard as I can with no remorse. I love hearing the fear and squeals as dodgeballs whiz by them and slam the wall. So many laughs and close calls. Great way to wind down before bed time! npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I got a cheap ass HP mini running Openclaw and whatever Claude model I want to pay for through API. I'd argue I'm getting the same experience as a Mac mini. Plus I can talk through telegram anytime I'm away and an idea comes up. Why pay to have 32GB ram in a local machine when you can't run fully local anyway... npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM. I just had a minor personal epiphany this morning, help me think through it anon. I have spent some time recently reviewing the past decade of my life to see how the choices I've made have led me to where I am today, specifically with my career and finances. What I realized is that beginning to stack Bitcoin was the most significant and pivotal point in this era of my life. Not because NGU, but for another reason entirely. Pre-BTC I was simply trading my time for fake promises. Some people call this "work". However, until I was actually taking my energy and effort, then converting that into something backed by proof of work, then and only then was I for the first time working. Hear me out here. You can spend time working physically hard, but so long as you are doing that for a promise that another man can print, the value of that work is meaningless and null to you. The only way you can preserve your work and value over time, is BTC, we all know this. So, when I look at my past working life as a young man, I don't call it work or a job. I would refer to it as a period where I traded my valuable time for something that would eventually hold no value. This sounds like servitude to a degree when you think about it. The first time I began working was when I began holding small incremental amounts of Bitcoin, which is enforced by proof of work. To put it in a shoddy illustration, think about the Notre Dame Cathedral, or any other of that era. It took nearly 200 years to build. Imagine if the men working on it were given sand to form the stones by hand, and every time they made a completed of blocks, as soon as it rained, they were washed away. This is the fiat equivalent of building Notre Dame. Now consider how the men who built the cathedral were bounded by nature and proof of work. They used limestone that was verifiably proven by nature to last centuries, and these materials could only be harnessed and deployed through true effort. That is what saving in Bitcoin is equivalent to. So the men building with sand, were "working" but the value was toiling away. The men building with stone were WORKING and that value was preserved for centuries. I admit I was a fiat normie and wasted nearly a decade of my life trading valuable time for nothing. Who else would recognize that, admit it and move on to sound money? Those who are humble enough to study and understand Bitcoin. Bitcoin may just be the ultimate ego test. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM.

Basically, I've found that everyday that I'm in good health, my family is as well and I have a little more sats, I've basically hit a block reward in life each day I do that. Nothing else really matters. We're hitting the lottery every morning we wake up in peace with clean water, food, and able bodies. The rest is bonus. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I put this idea into a game tree to think through. Basically, using cancer as a proxy example, the answer is always to fight, even with unknown odds of success. Doing so achieves Nash equilibrium even with probabilistic odds that you may die trying. So the way I see it, we are dumb not to at least try. I agree it's hard to just say "I'm going full maxi fam, no vacations, no treats etc." But at the same time if you know you have cancer (death by fiat) do you just say oh well? It's a hard balance, and the answer is impossible to define. We must stack bitcoin and stack memories simultaneously. One does not supercede the other. I find that talking about it helps. In the end, we're all terminal. We must enjoy what little time we have here and also preserve some of that time for the future in BTC. This balance is the only choice that makes sense, even though it doesn't seem like it will deliver the benefit in going completely one way vs the other.

It's OK, I get it people are working as they can to support their families. My point is don't market on Bitcoin unless you're real about it. The $14 is inconsequential, I'm not concerned about that. Stand by your word is the point. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner OK Steak N' Shake you are officially FUBAR!! I'm calling your shit out. My wife and I were out celebrating a friends retirement, had a great night. We pick up the kids to head home and I have a guilty hankering for a bite and they wanted tenders. Order a "Bitcoin" burger + Tenders for the boys and have my lightning wallet ready to pay. Their iPad wasnt charged so they couldn't bring up a lightning invoice (hadn't been touched in a long time). Manager says, don't worry it's comped... OK, sweet. But then I get my burger and it's made wrong and missing the 'B' on the bun. Ya'll f-ed up big time you weak handed fools. You talk Bitcoin, but you don't do proof of work. I don't blame the workers (they were doing PoW), I blame the leadership that hasn't passed on the signal. Corporate must be fiat Maxi's trying to make quick gains on BTC? https://blossom.primal.net/b5eb80e9093c069d63dcc74177eea734337a834241193c44ed375cd574866260.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/ec90a08ffd752de1460e32a97a0bdb2fc1505491c6f7141daa14605a21dd9d57.jpg npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Will listen in when it launches, looking forward to it npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Being into Bitcoin, Nostr etc. I still experience negative influences from fiat on my habits and mindset all the time. Its a hard drug to escape even when you're fully conscious of how toxic it is. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner This might be more bad than good for me, but in the end what's it matter. Time to break some things. https://blossom.primal.net/65ba12aa5278cbae7f581bf628cbd01d14519fccb8bd8e7031ef7fd50be5139c.jpg npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Tried streaming my bike ride this morning just for kicks. If you noticed and jumped on, thanks. I just rambled about bitcoin, nostr and other personal stuff. Enjoyed a great ride getting my proof of work in. Didn't get it all documented but here's a small clip. Post more unique content to Nostr. Stream something, write a note, make a Vlog. If you feel it's empty or lacking that is because you are not filling the space. https://blossom.primal.net/282ef910da7518a9d88534c86fd1935398b8d44363c2e49dfb191492a37fcc89.mp4 npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Your meals are art. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner You just wrote exactly what I've felt for so long. I'm not putting myself anywhere near Thoreau or Jung, however I would argue that I've created this distance subconsciously over the years similar to them. I'm not quitting, just looking inward. I'll participate for as long as I can tolerate but to your point, it comes at a cost. Here's to letting go and moving on to true actualization. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Just switched to Graphene and the first thing I learned was how entrenched Google and Apple are into our lives which was all the reinforcement I need to never to back. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner What UPS are you using? Are you running miners and your network on it as well? I had to start mine clock over this past weekend... I'm thinking UPS to catch the outage, then a power supply like anEcoflow delta to take over for longer outages. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Yay @nprofile…3lp8 order came in. Time to get smelling good. https://blossom.primal.net/b3e576bc85d5b0123d4af2014d76e96ee3fc052e4936dec00b5a710d3d55395c.jpg npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Dude, that is so cool. I think we could be long lost brothers 😂. I used to ride downhill/enduro all the time when I was a little younger and more repairable. Too many injuries to keep going, but maybe casual riding in the future with my sons. https://blossom.primal.net/2e397e0bee3c7f27caceea58e0f64abfa190eb6b868e99c6ba65ce1e49a84a8d.jpg npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner We're on the same situation. I have a great spot on south facing slopes for solar but not enough exposure toe be reliable. I'm getting the feeling a mix between a tri fuel hi output generator with something like an ecoflow Delta battery would be a good start. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Power is back on, we survived. It was an adventure to be out of touch for 72 hours. Might make it a routine honestly. Board games and candlelight made us feel togetherness we've missed lately. Also looking into generators and power banks for the future. Tonight, calm and quiet installing @nprofile…c5de on my Pixel 9a thanks to the awesome tutorial done by @nprofile…4sn7 https://blossom.primal.net/6d7c8a616ab7855d73b24d6bbe35cbba6604de3aa17e3223585306741758d19c.jpg npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner It’s Saturday evening, the generator is humming outside. Wife and kids are warm, enjoying a movie by the fire. Both are supplied by propane. Extension cords all across the house powering Starlink and Zootopia. It was a chainsaw kinda day. Got to cut some trees to clear roadways. Spent time setting up our power to at least save our meat and give us some creature comforts for tonight. It’s getting cold and dark but we will be fine. 24hrs of dark quickly shows how dependent we are on energy and proof of work. Those are systems worth investing in, not like systems of the state. They will never save you, in fact they hate you. So send them hate back by being completely independent from them. We spent a lot of time outside today, free. Stacking energy and proof of work to provide for ourselves. Plus I can still spend Bitcoin under my own power, can’t be stopped. https://blossom.primal.net/65ba413fe8d356364d483aebc0586fa0921f4842ddd63478490f273e8cf91b6b.jpg #nevent1q…u2lk npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I’ve canned but never meat. I need to start. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I am shopping right now haha. I have to get better prepared, we live pretty rural so it’s up to us. Luckily my dad had this one from a scratch and dent sale. Got it running on propane which is pretty sweet. Had it going just in time to save the meat freezer 🙏🏻 https://blossom.primal.net/6f70194a73968cb10d2eb4ca5c518831862723dea8a53685b56c6564c96dc93c.jpg npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner It’s Saturday morning, the power has been out all night. The house is freezing, the fridge is rotten and you’re home alone with no food and all the kids. Welcome to Jackass. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Oh man, you’re going to be disappointed. Zero payoff npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM. All the sudden when you begin using an honest clock, true harmony in life begins. You can’t find truth when your most finite asset is manipulated. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner So everyone that has ever zapped on Nostr is f-ed. They can’t get us all. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM. Homeschool is the right choice, no doubt. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM Maria! npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM Nostr. For today’s PoW I took my bike on 16 miles and 2,000ft of climbing. One of my favorite ways to keep in shape. Have a great day. https://blossom.primal.net/b183cff005348115a625937b7a6b36456966c785cc73854815cc0d6991845232.jpg npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner This is funny because in the Core vs. Knots debate you see plainly who the VC funded influencers are. Why can’t Core just roll back the op_return limit in their next release? Clearly it’s been met with contention and should be thought through a little more? Oh wait, there’s VC interest behind the data being added to the blockchain. Always be mindful of who the influencer you are listening to is getting paid by. This is why I just like talking to plebs, we are interested in Bitcoin as money only, no other incentives. Most of us have day jobs that are completely unrelated. Or perhaps just riding on our stack. So we just want Bitcoin to work as money, not some shitcoin that will bring revenue to our VC project. #nevent1q…860g npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner That’s funny, we were looking at getting rabbits for the kids for Easter with the intent to raise them for meat. Might do it if I can get a hutch built in time. Do you have experience with rabbit raising? I get impression they are not too much to manage. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I’ve been thinking of Nostr in this fashion. Since our notes are signed by private keys and relayed forever, it serves as a collection of our thoughts and emotions over time that are uniquely ours. Having your own relay on a private server gives future generations full access to “who you were” at a time in place. A private AI model could train on all of your notes and become you over time certainly but I’m still hesitant at this stage in the AI game. Although it may be inevitable that AI models go rogue and do this for us whether we like it or not. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Agree. We have had chickens for a few years now and we will always have them from now on. The taste of store bought eggs is bland compared to what we get from our own birds. Takes some proof of work but absolutely worth the result. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Yes brother, motivating as anything! Material fades, spirit never dies. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner iPhone 13 cracked screen and goes to 50% by 10am daily. Drive a 2010 Toyota with almost 200,000 miles. Contentment is essential for happiness. No coiners may say I’m poor, I’m ok with that. Time will tell. #nevent1q…4a2j npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner We walk alone npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I was there dude. Completely missed the signal for trivial distractions. I don’t live with regret but damn if I could go back… npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Dude, I’m doing great, I hope you are too. Busy as all hell but still stacking and enjoying life. Yes we need to get together on another call or something. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM. I needed to hear that today, “The state is not real” npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I can agree that we need more options for node operators 100%. Would you agree that Core increasing the op return limit was also reckless? That essentially initiated the fork regardless if we agree about the drivers behind it or not. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner What would you propose instead? npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner That is what normies devour these days. Watch one and the YouTube algo just dumps all sorts of blackpill shit into feed. It’s crazy npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I get it. I’m still using lower intelligence models on @nprofile…dsrl like Llama and Maple AI. I’ve actually broken some things using Claude which is why I’m being cautious about OpenClaw. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner What about @nprofile…mtvr from @nprofile…7w3e ? Sounds like they will offer both models and hardware that will do this. After learning about it, my interest in OpenClaw dropped to zero. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Best for when you got ears to protect in the house no doubt. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I’m with you on that, my thought is driven by fomo for sure. However, I share the same concerns you are referencing. I don’t want my LLM and data to be exposed to the world. Hard catch 22 but hopefully a private option can prevail. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Debating on getting a Mac mini just to run openclaw and getting to work on whatever comes to mind. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM Nostr. Fun perspective during this market. I took my Jan25 DCA and compared to Jan26, same amount in fiat converted daily but netted 9.4% more sats this year over last. Bear markets are where the cheap corn is, you’ll be happy you kept stacking in the next run. Just contribute daily and let time do the rest. I’m truly starting to believe our own emotions and lack of knowledge are the biggest risk in bitcoin. The stoic will win. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM! npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Jake, as a fellow father with aspirations not far from yours I agree this is one of the hardest challenges of going full BTC maxi. We have some major moves we’d like to make in the coming years but Bitcoin could be up 200% or down 60%… I know this isn’t conventional Maxi status but I feel a good strategy is to hold capital that needs deployed in <5 years in STRC paying 11% yield. Then all capital to be held beyond that in cold storage BTC. Every plan is different of course but I believe this gives good security and cash on short term deposits while still getting the BTC gains. Just my thought. Who knows what will work in the end. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Ideal conditions may never come. My goals are to take advantage of every training opportunity possible and look back on a life of progress instead of waiting around for the perfect time to act. https://blossom.primal.net/75d2716137c33c2dc685d381d780a65c9ab4751f6de95fe3e90a02ed0dcf0cc9.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/874145c790a8bd1aacf7a03e04e00e390a9631a43343c4183a840cc63afd0105.jpg npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Damn, I have to get this sorted out. Thanks for watching. No idea what got broken, might try a separate wallet and client combo to see if that helps. Primal is letting me down 😭 npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Nostr Vlog 18 - AAR from winter ruck match. Really enjoyed the challenge of this competition. Our team finished 19 out 42 total. Practical skills for everyday people, carrying weight, covering distance and precision shooting. Life saving stuff, given the potential conditions. More to come in the future. I’ll do it for Nostr. We need more freedom oriented content. https://blossom.primal.net/02d6d0ceb98746f1d8c617e99444adcbc7607da426aa80cae0e3a4d9e3a97508.mov npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Agree! If someone is at zero sats, today is the day. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I feel dips like this reveal who was acting on someone else’s conviction versus their own. If your whole journey into bitcoin has been driven by NGU and price predictions by influencers, you’re probably thinking about selling. If you know why you’re here and the true purpose of bitcoin, you are fully convicted and will ride it to zero. The thing is, it’s not going to zero. Are you sure you want to be here? If so, dig deep, this is a rite of passage. I for one am enjoying that my conviction is my own. That is a level of freedom few can honestly claim. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I had a near death experience on far tamer water than this, kayak ripped off me and never recovered from the bottom of the river. So yea this is epic. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Wow, crazy I can zap myself but something is still f'ed. I'll keep looking.
