Last Notes npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I paid off our small house - and a piece of government paper says we own it. But we still have to pay $600/mo rent to the govt and rising. Housing costs increase every year due to rent increases and increasing cost of maintenance. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed "Zu vill own nutzing, und be happy." npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed American culture prior to the current rampant socialism was to provide jobs. You see it countless stories from 19th and first half of 20th century. Cousin Bob has lost his job. No problem, uncle Tim has a warehouse that needs some hands. Corporate types frown on this as "nepotism" - but when it is your *own* business at risk (not a publicly traded company) and you actually know the weaknesses of cousin Bob, it is a beautiful thing, just like East African culture. A famous example is the classic American movie "It's a Wonderful Life". npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Knowing some families from East Africa, this is a cultural barrier to capital intensive projects. If you save up money to, e.g., build a house, then if anyone has an "emergency", it is socially expected of you to give them that money. (And they would do the same for you.) It is a beautiful thing in one sense - people caring for each other. But it also means you never get your house built. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed In this case it wasn't clear. She was born with female parts, "clearly" a girl at birth, raised as a girl, and only DNA testing revealed that he was genetically a guy with developmental issues. Unlike the transgender people, this guy/gal was not trying to deceive anyone (afaik - who knows). It was probably shocking to discover as an adult that he is not a girl after all. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed That doesn't solve the problem at the Olympics. The Algerian boxer was born with female parts and raised as a woman. But he/she has XY chromosomes. (Probably those estrogenic chemicals in the environment Alex Jones goes on about.) So if you define "woman" as XX chromosomes, then the parents in Algeria legit did not "know what a woman is". If you define "woman" as "female parts", then he/she is a woman. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed My dad would say, "What in Sam hill?" npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Male and femaie *are* body types. If you find a fossilized pelvic bone, 90° is a male, and 120° is a female - regardless of size or long composted muscles. There are a million more fundamental differences. So yes, wrassling is separated by weight class, but also by male/female. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed - those who struggle with freedom of expressions in their countries and npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed To avoid the "uncanny valley", (semi) autonomous machines must not try to look too human. C3PO and R2D2 are ideal designs for what AI tries to do. Roomba is friendly because it doesn't look human - it is a mechanical pet. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Poem by author Kenneth Edward Barnes: npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed It pops up four time. A fifth time if you post a note. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Do all these evildoers know nothing? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed "massively reduce spending" - and right there is your problem. A substantial percentage of that spending goes to השרים ("the officials"/administrative state/deep state) . Similar problem to endless unconstitutional wars. All that money funding both sides to kill each other siphons back to support American families in the Shadow of Mordor and Defense Industry areas. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed https://image.nostr.build/c0a85e5d9eecc3065f6229bf3f3b6c73a00fbc1ef1ada13dab8379eab1156024.jpg npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed As a lightning channel, you *could* transfer an amount equal to the small change you have on hand to another channel - perhaps overpaying the imbalance. That would require software support (rather tedious to calculate manually). npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Yes, the solution is "don't spend small amounts". That's why we have layer 2 protocols. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed No. Just sent email. To your protonmail listed in your commits. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Hmmm. What about sentences ending in an identifier? E.g. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I am not talking about runtime dependencies, which multi-binaries and busybox address. I am talking about the source code dependencies. When you have 100 times the number of entities (persons/projects) providing the source code golang pulls in for the easy-peasy build, vetting is 100 times more work. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Doctor! Doctor! It hurts when I do this! npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed How would shooting someone on 5th ave be part of his constitutional duty? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Yes, I am perfectly aware that "works". You missed the point that that does NOT meet the standard of packaging I insist on, and that distros like Fedora insist on. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed https://www.britannica.com/topic/seven-heavenly-virtues npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed After experimenting with C++, I rejected it as combersome, slow to compile, and few benefits (such as golang and rust provide). Rust is even slower to compile. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I thought Congress had to declare war? I seem to be 100+ years out of date. Still thinking the Constitution is the supreme law of the US. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Makes it awkward when govt cuts off food distribution and you need to eat them. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed That seems to be a general rule. E.g. when leftist cities pass "gun control" laws, gun crime drops quickly, then comes back worse than before after about 6 months. That seems to be how long it takes for new supply chains to get established, or the "market to adjust". npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed You do need a balance of power - like that described in "Lone Star Planet" by H Beam Piper. https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/20121 npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed https://image.nostr.build/49410bf1216c5010ee54a35928974989c631a694c0310efe7bb2915c45a6416c.jpg npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Maybe I missed it, I've been following the trial with Robert Gouveia, but what IS the felony? Did they finally come up with something? Or just leave it unspecified? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed https://www.amazon.com/Anti-Trump-Detergent-Remove-T-Shirt/dp/B08D3VLWS7?customId=B0752XJYNL npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Is this from 2016 or 2020 ? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed The whole point is to reduce population (and profit in the process). Thomas Malthus wasn't recommending population reduction - only pointing out that supporting larger populations requires innovation, which requires freedom. Hence, totalitarian regimes require reduced population to function. The globalist goal is totalitarian rule. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Or as Chesterton put it: "A piece of paper from a government doesn't erase sacred vows." (Conversely, a piece of paper from a government does not a sacred marriage make.) Whatever the pros and cons of government paperwork, it is external to marriage itself. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed They are turning on him now. Not sure what their new plan is. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Yes: https://mises.org/library/periodical/misesian-2024-v-01-i-02 npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Is that magazine online? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I'm betting "someone else" is paying their tuition ... npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed "Private" can have several meanings and shades thereof. One emphasis here might be that the key mapping is not run by a globalist corporation. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed A git repo is also a private block chain, and replicated. Think of it as a special purpose git repo. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Meetup? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Meetup? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Linux in general. The downside is that end users have (for them) confusing high level options such as "Ignore routes obtained via DHCP". Or the even more mysterious low level kernel parameters. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Buppa invented it. Agist. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Unpopular view: A piece of paper from a government does not undo sacred vows taken before God and men. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed And US MIC makes billions selling (or donating funded by taxpayers) to both sides. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed The US Doj just pronounced that they will begin prosecuting the use of protocols that could possibly be used to commit a crime online. Only centrally controlled media are allowed comrade! npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd4u4B-hrlE npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed An important part of Nostr tipping is exercising the payment system still in development. Even non-devs appreciate the low stakes opportunity to practice. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Addicted to convenience. "For just access to your data, we'll handle your whole life for ya! You won't have to worry about a thing!" npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Protesters blocked the ambulance summoned by police trying to get to George Floyd to save his life. Instead of jailing the protestors, they jailed the police. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Problems with EVs, npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed You left out men wanting to shirk responsibility for children they donated sperm for - and pressuring their girlfriend to murder their child. And families wanting to avoid the social embarrassment of an out of wedlock child - and pressuring the woman to have the kid murdered. But there are video of truly unhinged women anticipating their next pregnancy because, like a serial killer, they get such a rush from murdering their children. And the more case of common women who have been convinced that family and children are a barrier to their economic success - that thus sadly, they must "terminate" their children to ensure prosperity (aka Molech worship). npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Unless you run your own relay. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Less trivial than FIFO queues are priority queues. I implemented SkipQueue (and SkipMap and SkipList) which has the performance characteristics I typically need. Priority queues are really useful. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed It's a judgement call for each routine. I'm not going to reinvent libsodium. But a FIFO queue? Yes, I can probably improve the API or make the memory management work more smoothly with the rest of the app. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed As a "munition", it is also protected by the 2nd amendment. Govt is prohibited from infringing or prohibiting the free exercise of cryptography. Know your rights. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I get all my computers from the dumpster, or used fixer uppers. Just got a nice ECC server for $60 plus some RAM and (used) SSD drives. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Your wish was granted half a century ago. The "officials" (Biblical term for Deep State) rule. They assassinate a president that doesn't play along, and threaten member of Congress as well. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed My high vis bike jacket is green, red, or orange depending on the spectrum of the light it is viewed under. It is neon yellow green in sunlight - it's intended habitat. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed That's the AI module. It comes with every human brain. It does large language model pattern matching over all stored data to pull out what you need, popping up a notification for your mind after seconds, minutes, days. It also does projections of current trends, which your mind can review during downtime. For many people, this is fully immersive, multi-sensory, 3D. It does all this without the need for a surgical implant. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Web search seems to indicate that you need a lightning node to provide a lightning address. I have bitcoin, not a lightning node. So the mutiny wallet requires that I install a lightning node? I was looking for a custodial lightning address to get started. But others have recommended I keep working on getting a self-hosted lightning node and run it as a leaf node (which doesn't require 24/7 uptime). npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed So where does a lightning address come from? Mutiny says it is "self-custody", but I am not running a node - unless it runs in the browser as js. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed The issue is Google controlled android and Apple controlled IOS. I am fine with degoogled android and other distros on phones. Android has much better battery life than e.g. Fedora. I use separate accounts on Google phones. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed The non essential rulers that make our administrative law that supercedes the Constitution are the millions of Federal bureaucrats. We defund the most non essential by convincing the Congress to pass a balanced budget instead of a continuing resolution. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed While there may be some greed eating away at some dev's soul, the biggest driver is an attempt to create a parallel decentralized e-commerce platform. As with any other decent open source project, "eat your own dog food" is part of the testing. You have to actually use it to notice UI flaws as well as bugs. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed A serious definition would be a low carb diet with most protein from meat. This would include lots of greens and a small amount of high fiber fruit. In imagination, it is a traveling hero on an adventure, hunting game in the forest and fishing in streams and rivers on the way, and gathering berries and familiar greens to eat as well. No time to plant high carb crops like wheat/corn and wait for a harvest. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Been working on that for a while. I do not (and will not) use phone apps. (I am testing open OSes, Fedora and android derivatives, on Pinephone.) I will build it for Fedora, or use a custodial web wallet. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I might buy a personally tried and true brand "on sale", but the general rule is avoid the cheapest (which are often more trouble than its worth), and the more expensive (which are often catering to those wanting to glory in their wealth). npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Having begun my computer career in the 70s, I am still triggered by the sight of magnets in the vicinity of a computer (that might theoretically utilize magnetic media or magnetically steered electron beams). npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed A big problem with the climate debate is falsified data - especially before 1980. A PhD historian, John Robson researches the records and the history, and has the receipts. His website is https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I always thought God invented it back in Genesis 2. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed A more viable medium of exchange than USD fiat after it inevitably crashes. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed AI told me where hedgehogs lay their eggs - in great detail. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed The inflection point (which you can see on the graph) is 1972 - when Nixon took USD off the gold standard. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed But then you realize they hire a private security firm. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Actually, yes. It is possible to be BOTH evil overlords and idiots. In fact, the Machiavellian overlord is rather rare. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed The apparent world is an interior world. You will quickly learn this studying machine vision as well. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I suspect Gallagher was blackmailed (went to a social function, passed out from something in his drink, woke up in a strange hotel with a photo on his chest). A defense job is the consolation prize. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Right out of a Grimm's fairy tale. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed That was meta-about bitcoin. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed BGP was yet another centralization tactic deployed in the 90s. Like ICANN, it was sold as labor saving for large organizations with many peers. (Which it was.) But then normies were encouraged to use various Big Tech companies for a single peer connection. Beginning in 2000s, small operators (typically "dialup") not globalist aligned were persecuted via lawfare and outright perjury. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed They do understand "names of websites", and I get buy in on a first step of renting a domain name from an ICANN registry and using it for email - even if hosted on gmail. They understand that this gives them the power to change vendors (at least until ICANN cancels their domain) or even self-host. Most registrars also offer WordPress websites. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed What *is* the "new internet" was introduced to the public in the 1980s - public key cryptography (I remember where I was sitting in the college library when I read the SciAm article on public keys, knapsack and RSA algorithms. PGP was revolutionary. Now we *can* have authenticated IPs. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Having used "the internet" since 1975 (still have the first protocol spec), I would define "internet" as peer connections carrying IP protocol. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Men doing hardware and ladies doing software. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed When I was in my early teens, women dominated software and men dominated hardware. I was too young to lug around 50lb disk drives and other hardware stuff, so I got started in software with the ladies. I took a typing class - also still mostly ladies. It proved invaluable. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Robin Hood is not stealing from the king (who is off on a crusade). He is not even stealing from sheriff left in charge or returning legitimate taxes. He is simply returning what the sheriff stole from the poor in defiance of the law. The sheriff is counting on the king never coming back to bring him to justice for tax fraud. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed No different than Uganda taxing "social media" for everyone. The net effect was that the popular quickly discovered decentralized and federated social media - a very positive effect. The law is only effective on centralized "social media" that requires registration. The Uganda govt was paywalling IPs of large centralized outfits like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I call it the original (OG) web or decentralized web. I watched big tech run constant ads for people to give up their independent web sites that ran on their own desktop computers and "for just a small percentage or even just collecting marketing info we'll run your whole online life for you!" No changing UPS batteries (video of secretary crawling around under a desk to do that because of poor setup). We make backups for you! (And for the feds.) etc etc npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed NOTE: you can use both an ICANN domain and raw authenticated IPv6 with self-hosted email - going to the same mailboxes. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Just use raw IPv6 with an authenticated mesh protocol: npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Yes. Subsistence farming (or more practically, hunting/gathering) SHOULD be the bottom line fallback in case of extremely oppressive employment - NOT an ideal way to live. The problem with industrial Britain was that oppressed workers had nowhere to do it (farming/hunting/gathering). All the land was owned by aristocrats. This drove the attraction to socialism (replacing oppressive capitalists with oppressive government, which somehow never goes away on its own as promised by Marx). npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Correction, excerpt from an ancient homily for Holy Saturday (Roman Church). npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Today is Holy Saturday, where the ancient Liturgy celebrates the "Harrowing of Hell". An excerpt from the ancient Liturgy: npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I've gotten almost all family and friends using Matrix on a server I host (or my brother hosts). It is quite a bit heavier than XMPP, but feels like Signal/WhatsApp/Telegram to them. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I still don't have a lightning wallet (have a BTC wallet since inception). Alby won't take me.
