Lurking on Nostr is fine. Many people love to just lurk, scroll, read, etc. The lack of algos and ads make lurking on Nostr a much more palatable experience. That said, Nostr is a Proof-of-Work protocol too. If you want social interaction and engagement, you'll need to also put in the effort to make that happen.

Pet project of the day: Oracolo.
It is a minimalist Nostr blog that consists of a *single* ~140K html file. Personalize it with your npub and upload it where do you like, it just works. It also runs without a web server, so if you don't have a web site you can simply send it via email/dm to showcase your tales.
https://image.nostr.build/7ee63d88f54df0c0b4ee0c37dc19c78141ee27d0154eefaff303156cb1987d0a.jpg
Examples:

https://raw.githack.com/dtonon/oracolo/master/examples/fiatjaf.html
Source and how-to: https://github.com/dtonon/oracolo
Take it as a didactic experiment, it's no production ready, indeed it has some limitations (no SEO friendly structure), but can work as a temporary solution (e.g. coming soon and parking pages), and it is still an example of how easy it is to create a Nostr-powered blog and deploy it on a low-tech infrastructure.

25th book of 2024 complete:
The Dictators Handbook by Bruce Bueno De Mesquita and Alastair Smith
The thesis is great: rulers hold on to power by following key rules, namely, benefiting their essential supports, those people in their society whose support is needed to gain and maintain power
The flaw to the book, however, is a general belief that democratic rulers are better than autocratic rulers because they must appeal to a larger essential supporter base.
While they point out how democratic governments can be corrupt and break rules, they try to make it seem like that’s atypical and those rulers are often thrown out easily by the electorate.
They also point out how autocratic rulers often have sham elections. As if to believe that democratic system’s elections aren’t rigged simply by providing false choices.
Without realizing where the true power lies in American society, they fail to properly identify the actual essential supporters.
Corporations like the MMIC (Medical and Military Industrial Complex) who control so much of the politics and the media, are no different than essential supporters in an autocracy who provide political support to rulers and propaganda.
Just because it’s a more advanced form of manipulation, they seem to be tricked into believing that it’s all about democracy and the people’s will.
I would only recommend this book for two reason:
1) I believe the thesis is accurate
2) I would like to see more people give their own analysis of this book
If you have to will read, please provide your feedback

The Anguilla Robotics Association prepares for our upcoming summer Enrichment Programs. This year our programs will take the form of a one week e-Sport Gaming Camp from August 11 - 16, 2024 and a one week Robotics Camp from August 18 - 23, 2024.
Our e-Sport Gaming Camp will be facilitated by Anguilla’s own Rocket League player - Miss India Alanis Browne, Commonwealth Gold Medallist Champion and Professional e-Sport Athlete - https://youtu.be/iSPO7bGxZtw?si=V66hDhzMAJ1MzphA - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0g1kb17
Our Robotics Camp will be facilitated by the Saint Kitts and Nevis Robotics Association (SKNRA) - https://youtu.be/YRjHSw29sGg?si=NjqgHdtgfFWgnWoj
We accept donations from community-minded entities and individuals, who would like to help support our mission and make our programs accessible to as many youth as possible. Your contribution has a significant impact on our camp and the youth who participate. Donations are openly disclosed and allocated towards: training equipment for participants, the acquiring of robotics kits (that remain in-house for further use-case demonstrations), facilitator and operational expenses, and an overall mitigation of the cost of these programs that are provided on an ongoing basis to the islands’ youth.
Donations are publicly published by total amount, donor, and how it has been distributed. Donations that are tagged as anonymous are also publicly published (minus the donor name as per request). Additionally, in return for your donation we highlight your name (or your business name as requested) and associated logo on all of our promotional materials, online presence, social media “shoutouts”; indicating that you are a valuable partner. We are also open to accepting any additional ways we can recognize your contribution and show our appreciation for your support.
We believe that by working together, we can create positive and lasting experiences for our youth; while providing them with an opportunity to solve “localized” problems; as well as develop and export solutions from Anguilla to the world.
We are playing our small part in ensuring that our island youth understand and embrace the paradigm shift; and ultimately live in exponential abundance.
We are headquartered in the Carter Complex, Rey Hill, The Valley, Anguilla, British West Indies and we accept walk-in visits as well as scheduled appointments.
We look forward to engaging with you and we hope to see you in Anguilla soon.

A company’s machine breaks down. The company’s owner, an old school chum of Niels Bohr, calls in the physicist for help in fixing it.
Bohr examines the machine. He draws an X on the side and says, "Hit it right here with a hammer."
The company’s mechanic hits the machine with a hammer. It springs into action. The company’s owner thanks Niels Bohr profusely and sends him on his way.
A few days later, the owner receives an invoice from Bohr for $10,000. Shocked, the owner phones Bohr!
"Niels! What’s this $10,000 invoice? You were only here for 10 minutes! Send me a detailed invoice."
Bohr agrees to send the invoice. A few days later, the company’s owner opens a new invoice.
INVOICE
Drawing X on the side
of your machine $ 1

just remembering something that is probably gonna be a question from the non-#golang devs who follow my nonsense and are thinking "ah but what happens if your connection goes out or your mini pc is struck by lightning or something - won't that break all my dependencies?"
no... the Go Authors already planned for this contingency by adding a default to proxy all go compiler dependency fetching that every time you pull new deps, their giant google servers get full of an archive of everyone's every version of everything, unless you opt out and disable the go module proxy
so, yeah, even if the source goes down, all the historical versions that have been accessed are still there
i can turn off my mleku.dev/git hosting tomorrow and all the dependencies are still available, and will be so long as Google keeps funding golang development
it was intentional... and yes, of course, you can even run your own go module proxy infrastructure yourself, but you still have to configure it to use it
#golang is the worst kept best secret of software development and everyone has an opinion about it that is negative except for the people who actually use it, and then you will hear all these nuanced criticisms usually based on what languages they used before and got used to being in their workflow...
after nearly 12 years working with this language i don't think there is anything that is to par with Go in terms of its perfection in engineering tradeoffs
you just have to learn them, and then you will also be a #golang maxi

Here's your summary from Ryanair CEO Expects Softer Pricing Over Summer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7CZFeZrOVU) on the Bloomberg Television channel:
### TLDR:
Ryanair CEO expects softer pricing over the summer due to consumer resistance and capacity constraints in Europe, leading to flat to 5% price increases.
### Key Points:
1. Pricing for April, May, June is down compared to the prior year, but expected to increase as the summer progresses.
2. Ryanair has hedged fuel costs and plans to stimulate pricing with $450 million in fuel savings.
3. Delivery delays of Boeing jets will leave Ryanair 20 aircraft short, impacting growth and necessitating a reduction in the full-year traffic forecast.

Have personally known men who took the risk, got married, had kids, and the moment the kids were born, the women lost interest and left. Some even leave behind the kids, but they do take 18 years of court-mandated alimony…
Some of those women do it numerous times. If the roles were reversed, we would call people like that “predators”
My reluctance to get married is strictly because the state incentivizes this sort of behavior and it’s no secret at this point.

This Man Says He Legally Hasn't Paid Federal Taxes In Over 30 Years
https://odysee.com/@KimIversen:d/this-man-says-he-legally-hasn%27t-paid:6?r=8T2xqWjtafHWYGxQBSsrbw1wQPm7sWRq
This is an interview from The Kim Iversen Show
Here's part 2: [This Is How You Can Stop Paying Taxes Legally, Now!](https://odysee.com/@KimIversen:d/this-is-how-you-can-stop-paying-taxes:e?r=8T2xqWjtafHWYGxQBSsrbw1wQPm7sWRq)
I do not vouch for the legal veracity of these claims (perhaps @siggy47 can weigh in), but it's very provacative.

My problem with marriage is the “lose interest“ part you referenced. The state has its own interpretation of marriage, and that’s the one I don’t agree with.
I believe in traditional tmarriage, and I believe in reasonable grounds for divorce: ex. Adultery, abuse, abandonment, etc..
What I don’t believe is the “lose interest” part. But rather the “through thick or thin, till death do us part” kind.
Does that make sense?
Marriage has become a predatory trap for men, and there are countless examples of women gaming the system to manipulate no fault laws to their financial advantage.
