Last Notes npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone I recommended someone request a 1 inch wire shelving black post sleeve pair from Ikea, after they posted a wanted ad on Freecycle & I measured my OMAR wire shelf. They got the part but it wasn't compatible - β22β25β―mm (0.87β0.98β―in) π© npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone Bitcoin: the last boss canary [in the coal mine]? npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone ClockBlock β npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone LOL it never occurred to me to go read-only for anyone else, seemed pointless just for me. npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone Re-released https://github.com/TheButterZone/MacIntercom/releases/tag/v0.1.8-sdr with CTCSS scan+lock, interactive keybindings. And because it's interactive now, demo video>screenshots π¬ npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone As a web designer, I might switch "Sold out" to RECALLED & make that element background red with white text, maybe even pulsing. npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone https://youtu.be/lUVQz6_-vxc npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone v0.1.6 released! I fed the gate & AGC versions from ChatGPT & Gemini 3.1 Pro extended to Sonnet 5 max effort because I wasn't fully happy with either. Then had Gemini review Sonnet's combination & improvement of both: "a solid A+" No waiting for ChatGPT to come back from timeout. I think I agree, and don't want to touch DSP again for the rest of v0.1.x (maybe adaptive DSP like WebRTC VAD will make it into v0.2 as a debugflag toggle, between that & this lightweight envelope gate)? I asked Gemini how much bigger that would make the universal binary: "Adding just the WebRTC VAD (Voice Activity Detection) component will likely add only **50 KB to 150 KB** to your binary, bringing your total universal binary size to roughly **650 KB β 750 KB**.") https://github.com/TheButterZone/MacIntercom/releases npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone v0.1.5 released! Now Universal binary (goodbye, Intel-only release builds!) https://github.com/TheButterZone/MacIntercom/releases npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone v0.1.3 released! How does it work now? Computer's media app is paused: intercom resumes audio. Computer's media app is playing: intercom pauses audio. Your Bluetooth speaker's multi-function button is pressed, or any other input method (keys, clicks, ...?) for resume/pause: the media app toggles resume/pause, then intercom deconflicts & does the opposite. https://github.com/TheButterZone/MacIntercom/releases npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone v0.1.1 released! https://github.com/TheButterZone/MacIntercom/releases npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone MacIntercom v0.1.0 released! https://github.com/TheButterZone/MacIntercom/releases npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone This is "Type II Fun" but at least with a 2012 Mac as the dev environment, the code may be conservative enough to work even up to modern Macs? I've already had a working v0.1 (346 KB executable) that compiles & runs in Terminal for a few days. npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone I sent a feature request for that to support, but they didn't even answer my last message about voice prompts seemingly ignoring their own disable button. npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone Would be fun if I could get the speakers with lights in them to be awake like KITT whenever the intercom is active, but my JLab Go Party turns the lights off when the app is running, because it thinks it's a phone call. npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone Just me, vibe coding a Mac app (in Swift, with ChatGPT & probably going to have it go to war with Gemini LOL) to turn Bluetooth speakers with built-in mics into full-duplex intercoms/radios with any Mac. And maybe later, an Android app to connect to the Mac app & have it be the walkie-talkie. Done a bit of Kotlin Android app work that I have to confirm fixes a broken part of another project, so getting started in iOS development will come even later... Idea is to plug my Bluetooth speaker+mic in to the wall, next to a door or maybe even in an outside enclosure, then all people have to do is walk up to it & talk to me without pressing anything. Awhile ago, I made a ringdown phone (like you see between bullpens & dugouts, you just pick up one side & the other side instantly rings) with stock SIP adapter firmware & software, but would have to run wires to have either a corded phone or make a cordless handset wired to AC/DC adapter instead of battery+cradle outside. The ringdown works, at least, for me to have a SIP app always on me everywhere, and any of our old cordless phones spread throughout the house can ring my app just by pressing the button for a dial tone, or I can dial their extension from my app to ring them all at once. npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone Oh, and naturally, the bank's website acts as if no amount of phone & SMS outbound & then call-in verification, is ever enough to permanently remember a single browser that stores the bank's cookies. ... while simultaneously refusing to add support for YubiKeys et al., so I'm not even going to bother buying one. npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone LOL the 5a has a highest Android OS version 2-above the phone I'm borrowing, and at the end of July, one of the major US banking apps will no longer work on it without at least the next version past its highest/final version. Talk about slumming it... npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone Let me guess, the timing of a sufficient remedy will be at the opposite end of the cycle, then everyone can claim they were right all along. This is π€‘π npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone I sent 0-fee TXs back in the day. I wonder if miners can gatekeep those these days by putting them in blocks only if they're over a threshold of UTXOs being consolidated. npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone Booth officiating team that is watching cameras auto-tracking every player & they can immediately spot foul or fake, then red card? npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone What's stopping you from stating your preference in Kind 0?

So, I use L1 exclusively. P.S. I feel like I'm probably doing more than my part for society already & any recyclables I cash in don't really even the karmic balance. In addition to my litter collection I described above, I'm also hunting/killing cockroaches in the street around midnight (first spotted this month), reporting vandalism, bulky illegal dumping, discharge of pollutants into storm water drains, stolen shopping carts, dead animals that may need testing for zoonoses, trespassers encamping on private property, moving reusable illegally-dumped items to better locations & putting them on Craigslist free... overwhelming trying to remember everything from on patrol. My city has a public reports website where everyone can see things everyone else reported (except 911 calls & some other exceptions), and it's rare that I see anyone else had reported something in my immediate neighborhood. I also have email alerts set on Craigslist & I almost never see neighbors posting their stuff as curb alerts, they just curb it & skip the alert. npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone Introducing #BTC2Free β»οΈβΏ People donate Bitcoin.

This is possible with cryptography, but you should only keep watch on these addresses without making them public knowledge & know how to spend them to 0 - if someone actually sends you BTC after deriving on their own/via some website's tool. If you want to give out public addresses derived from your nsec, hardened by passphrase salting, see why & how, here: https://primal.net/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqtshhpkkjtyhnw6m0skah8msuqh8dw7rtzh6jkkxsy6sg7a7zrszqpzxsmmh946x7tt5w4exuttp94hx7um5wgkkuum9vvkkjmn5dukkzttgv9exgetwv4jz6mn0dckhgctswfhk7apdv9jxgun9wdej66tw94c8ymmy46xjya npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone P.S. In case this was why you're asking them, this isn't intended to allay their privacy concerns whatsoever; as indicated in my opening para, this is only about adding BTC QC theft prevention (with a good enough passphrase). Took me too long to realize/properly interrogate Gemini that QC compromise of an nsec merely from the npub will also compromise even-y p2pkh & p2wpkh deterministic addresses from that npub & all coins sent to them. I suppose if you wanted to (or even could) add a p2tr payment target that overrides your on-chain Zap address, code can also be written to salt your nsec & output that instead of p2pkh & p2wpkh addresses & WIF only. But someone not me, should try that. npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone How To Turn a Nostr Nsec Into a Hardened Non-Taproot Address In Prod https://primal.net/e/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqtshhpkkjtyhnw6m0skah8msuqh8dw7rtzh6jkkxsy6sg7a7zrszqpzxsmmh946x7tt5w4exuttp94hx7um5wgkkuum9vvkkjmn5dukkzttgv9exgetwv4jz6mn0dckhgctswfhk7apdv9jxgun9wdej66tw94c8ymmy46xjya npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone Did you receive any payments (or could you have) while it was unattended those two months? npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone Are p2pkh & p2wpkh addresses as payment targets going to be supported everywhere that allows setting payment targets? npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone obligatory gm npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone I always have since I first tried it at a pizza buffet npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone Relayed to me from the rescuer 7-13-2016 https://blossom.primal.net/2253f079630b8722597144179c66774de068720c1d9fb31d1f41b65f540192cf.jpg npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone Found in this bag next to the sidewalk 5-23-2016 https://blossom.primal.net/a23570e2afba10c9897d78ae7494d596c54d3d338b7220f9ffec5328462ae32d.jpg npub19ctmsmtf9jtehddhctwmnacwqtnkh0p43tafttrgzdgy0wlppcpq50zf83 TheButterZone Doesn't leak your entire history unless you are mentally incompetent & need 24/7 guardianship/caregivers, who should already be preventing those under their care from using technology that supports L1-Lβ.

I thought of a similar program but inverted? People can get paid BTC in advance to drop their recycling in public & post a location photo, so whoever picks the recycling up can cash in at the minimum fixed per-pound rates set by the state. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5582600.0 P.S. While I pick up neighborhood litter, on average every week it's not big bags' worth. I just separate the organics/recycling/textiles/trash & stuff that could be recycled but is excluded as such from municipal bin collection. I almost always fit the week's littered trash into my partly-filled kitchen trash bag & that's all the municipal collectors get in that bin (which has way too large a capacity for almost everyone, who got it by default/opt-out).
