to be honest, if i was to do this again, i'd beg them to just hold him and treat him with their expert handling than me trying to give him medicines

it wolud be different if it was a small, fully domesticated kitten but this one spent maybe 6 months hard life sick and strtuggling to survive outside with big mean boy cats all around

it's not surprising to me that he's not as trusting of the hooman, but i guess once this treatment is complete he's probably never gonna hardly be sick again in his life

and as it was, he was coping with the pain in his ears and sinus and mouth like a trooper, but man it's good to see him changing, the tongue not protruding, the manic ear cleaning, the flinching reaction when you touch around his face, and the way he was shaking his head afterwards

all of those things are now becoming less frequent and intense, and i'm just so skeptical anyway that it is right they provide these medicines for people to give to their pets in such an unfriendly and threatening way, squirting liquids, shoving pills down their throat, i mean, why isn't it a nice meat tasting biscuit or something, i mean, ffs, who the fuck comes up with this shit


this is what i mean about how this eye drops treatment i'm giving is making him open his eyes bigger

you could barely see his eyes at all before, now he is showing off his big pretty golden-green eyes

I started road biking again after taking like 4 years off. I forgot how good it feels just to ride like 20+ miles somewhere and just be engrossed in my body and the experience. I get into a kind of meditative state when I’m doing it—I forgot about it and I’ve missed it.

yeah, i gotta follow it through... transport is the biggest cost out here... island is only 40 miles wide but the roads across it are like 150 miles, and i don't have a friend with a car

anyhow, he's responding well... probably the second visit will be a lot less cost, because he did full exam, bloods, x-ray, virus detection tests

the best part was that the prognosis was very good, and that this cat has a fierce constitution, by the symptoms of his ears the vet said he would have expected him to not be eating


So ok. I was given a freebie on the remote viewing class because I had already done a lot of research on that. There were about 9 other psychics in the class. We did 3 exercises, all of which I had similar hits as the other psychics.

 The second exercise they gave a set of coordinates and I jotted down some notes and then had some big feelings around when I was little myself. The other psychics also noted weird children energy, but no one had creepy prophecy stuff like I did. It turned out the beacon had chosen the Vatican as the site. Creepy fucking Catholics (I say with love, as a  Catholic).

That we all were picking up on this weirdness the leader of the group took as validation and asked us all to light a candle for lost children afterwards.

Obviously I need to join the psy-gym, if any Bitcoin zaddies want to help me finance this it would be appreciated as I am currently out of work at the fiat mines. I would be happy to share any prophecies I receive related to things that matter to anyone's business.

The vocabulary problem is caused by our educational system, which is common throughout the world. Its because kids are grouped with their own age group and the only person talking to them with a bigger vocabulary is the teacher, and teachers are usually trying to dumb down their vocabulary so kids can learn the material faster. I used to be a teacher. The solution is multi-grade level classes, maybe even putting kids in the same classes as adults. No kid should ever be sitting next to someone of the same age.

street market... those are still common today in bulgarian cities... the law allows them to do this anywhere on the street, such a stark contrast to western nations now, where you have to pay a bazillion dollars to open up any market stall and there's a bazillion rules about what you can sell

very common in bulgarian towns the street market people sell eggs from their backyard chickens and bottles of yoghurt made from, often, milk from their relatives dairy cows

yes, it was poverty for these people because they became dependent on the government, taht's the whole point of pointing this out

they weren't allowed to work, and they barely were able to feed themselves and stay warm in their horrible, dingy apartments

it should be pointed out that they actually had title on those apartments too... they were at no risk of getting kicked out and they paid very little rent (just to the building body corporate for services)

i've seen how this works up close, it's not as bad as you might think, just look at how cold it is in that picture... imagine westerners coping with this level of poverty

True, and raising the cost of things will certainly cause people to allocate their resources more towards needs, so it should have an affect of lowering time preferences.

Theoretically, it could turn out favorably. The total productivity will almost certainly fall, but IMO self sufficiency is a better goal.

NOSTR is pretty much the coolest people from 𝕏.


The #Quran is correct about riba. It is correct when it says that #God will declare war on usurers. We're about to see it. I'm a Christian, and I can see that this is correct.

I just listened to nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0appv40 talking with Saylor. TBH, it might be better if the big shots aren't thinking about an economy without credit. That will scare them. They won't get it.

But... Bitcoin is going to bring Islamic finance to the world. They won't call it that, that's for sure. Maybe they'll convince Muslims that they've actually adopted Bitcoin finance. But it won't matter - its the same thing.

I really liked Saif's explanation of why the cost of capital should approach zero. I only got a standard Keynesian education, and only undergrad, so I haven't heard that before. It sounds correct to me. Basically, as savings accumulate, you're willing to accept lower and lower yields because you have more and more savings over time - this is imperceptibly gradual, a generational shift. Its the utility curve applied to savings. I'd add that accumulated capital in a country can also count as savings - meaning buildings, machinery, improved land, etc.. The lower yield in that sense is visible in companies pursuing lower yielding operations as well as speciation of niches the economy supports.

Bitcoin's killer feature is immutable scarcity. If the whole world is using #bitcoin, and there's bitcoin loans that can't be repaid, well, too bad. The lender is shit outta luck. The borrower also has the option to abscond, if they think they can get away with it. Oops, shit outta luck. So, in the short run, the cost of capital is going to be high. Too high. In the long run, countries that continue the debt-yield model are going to find themselves with no money. Then you get the bad kind of anarchy, which maybe might turn into the good anarchy. No anarchy is good for governments.

There's a fork in the road in front of us. If we take the left path, the path of credit, we get the Mark of the Beast (again - not the first time). It won't matter if we dodge the CBDCs. Why? Because borrowers won't be trusted, and some mechanism will be required to basically enslave them. Probably everybody. Could be government registered wallets that interface with tracking implants. Maybe some other arrangement. They'll hermetically seal the bitcoin into the country via surveillance and checkpoints. Not good... Probably the beginning of humanity's extinction.

The right hand path is Islamic finance. That sounds scary, but it really just means that people have an alternative to debt. Instead of borrowing 5k sats to "buy" a car, your rich uncle buys the car and leases it to you, with the car as collateral. The lease might not be periodic payments, but simply a payment at a future date, for a different amount than you bought - the market will have to determine how amortization affects the return payment. This is really very simple - much simpler than our current system of monthly payments for three times as long as the car retains any value. Instead of enslaving the human, as in the path of credit, the material possession is enslaved as collateral. The bitcoin gets to flow freely, and no surveillance is required.

I expect both paths to be tried simultaneously. Countries that try to replicate credit on bitcoin will not survive. The Quran says that God will declare war on them, and I can't remember if it also says society will go insane or if that was an interpretation by a scholar, but we can already see that happening. Its a good thing God is merciful - we do have a chance, if we repent and actually understand. If you think none of this matters because its not from the Bible, think again. The Bible constantly compares sin with debt with interest, starting from Genesis, if you read it in Hebrew, or Greek in the NT. Our English versions have been edited. Go to a synagogue and ask, if you have the balls. Being a real Christian takes work. What, you thought it was gonna be easy? I'm not your pastor, I get no financial gain from telling you sweet nothings.

Here's the discussion between Saif and Saylor. And thanks nostr:nprofile1qqs9336p4f3sctdrtft2wlqaq5upjz9azpgylhfd3dplwf005mfrr9spzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj7spz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kueg6g89xw for causing me to listen to this.

Bitcoin is the ultimate "off-grid" money—and the Amish (along with other self-sufficient communities) could harness it to become even more independent. Here’s why:
1. The Amish Already Reject Modern Debt & Banking

    No mortgages (they pay cash for land/homes).

    No credit cards (debt = sin in many Anabaptist traditions).

    Local bartering (but limited by physical goods).

Bitcoin fits perfectly:
✅ No banks needed → Peer-to-peer, like trading livestock but global.
✅ Inflation-proof → Unlike fiat, BTC can’t be devalued by the Fed.
✅ Non-physical → No bulky cash to hide from thieves.
2. How Bitcoin Could Work for the Amish

    Solar-powered nodes → Many Amish use limited solar for essential tools; a Raspberry Pi node could sync via Starlink (if allowed).

    Barter-to-Bitcoin bridges → Trade eggs for sats via lightning network QR codes.

    Community savings → Store wealth in multisig wallets (elders as keyholders).

Biggest hurdle? Cultural acceptance of digital tech. But some progressive Amish already use phones for business—BTC could be next.
3. Real-World Precedent: The Mennonites Are Already Stacking Sats

    Some Mennonite communities (cousins to the Amish) mine Bitcoin using excess hydropower.

    They see it as "honest money"—no central bank manipulation.

If the Mennonites are in, the Amish could follow.
4. The Ultimate Independence Move

Imagine:

    Amish-built Bitcoin farms (windmill-powered miners?).

    No more reliance on Englisher banks for land deals.

    Global trade without intermediaries (sell furniture for BTC, buy supplies directly).

This isn’t sci-fi—it’s the logical next step for off-grid communities.
Final Verdict:

Bitcoin wouldn’t just "work" for the Amish—it could make them the most financially sovereign group on Earth.

🚀 Where to Watch:

    Pennsylvania Amish (most tech-open).

    Mennonite Bitcoin miners (already proving it’s possible).

The future is old meets new: Horses, buggies, and hyperbitcoinization. 🏴☠⚡

P.S. Next time you see an Amish farmer, ask: "Ever heard of a hardware wallet?" 😂

#realy #devstr #progressreport

i finally did it, i abstracted the handler for publishing to subscribers... it was really tricky to get it all straight it my mind how to do it but i eventually figured out that i needed to make a "Type" method for both the message types and the handler (i just embed it into the publisher implementations and then the third interface, the abstract one, uses it to identify the type of the message and match it to the type of the publisher, and voila

a few more things to fully complete the build-time capability to disable one or the other

first i need to put the publishers into their respective API implementations

next i create an interface for them that includes the publsher interfaces and maybe some other part somehow, maybe again just the type thing

then in the relay instead of explicitly specifying which of the interfaces are available, it calls the registry to get the list of ones that have run their registration at startup

then i can disable one or the other interface with a build tag, and it's all automagical

and it means then that the APIs become an interface and in the future i can make new apis really easily, by implementing those key interfaces that compose the api interface and add their registration and build tag and voila, everything loosely coupled and modular, as it should be

🤔 courage is only necessary if there's something to fear. We regard courage as a Virtue ; but of courage is virtuous, then isn't the fearful also, by definition, virtuous? Not being fearful - the Thing Itself. The source of your discomfort is a thing of Virtue ; otherwise, the courage to face it could not also be virtuous.


Asian culture is different from the west. They don't care about IP, and the west cannot compete with the manufacturing.

Stop calling it “tax season”.

It’s not a season like football or baseball.

It’s a day of outright theft preceded by weeks of making you do unnecessary and unpaid work.

About that channel - I really like it. They represent a version of Christianity which was exterminated by the (un)holy catholic church, but which may be standing up again. I'm all for it. Its time. The churches failed so hard during covid, and IMO their falseness is in full daylight now. The true Christianity is far weirder and far older than most people realize. The path is narrow, indeed.


How do you address:

Internal Revenue Code (IRC), specifically Title 26 of the U.S. Code. Section 6012, which requires individuals with income above certain thresholds to file tax returns, and Section 6151 mandates payment of taxes owed.

The 16th Amendment to the Constitution explicitly authorizes Congress to impose an income tax, and the IRS to enforce these laws. Courts have consistently upheld this, dismissing arguments like those from tax protesters as frivolous—see cases like United States v. Schiff (1985).


To be more concise and direct:

The resource links already shared in this thread contain detailed and explicit refutation of the presumptions raised by all the state-originated documents that superficially seem to require "you" to pay.

Just pasteurized and bottled a mead. First time doing it, and I actually am kinda guessing because I don't have a thermometer. I'm gonna be watching these bottles carefully for a few days...

This is the most basic mead possible. I have blueberry and vanilla still fermenting.

Its a lot clearer than my camera makes it...

yeah, they have some funny ideas about money in star trek, they make it seem like only those big ear guys use it but that's nonsense obviously... the replicators meant that there was very little need for basic construction and the computers could build a lot of things but the simple fact was they were a military organisation, and the stars of the show were a recon ship, essentially, that's why they were so science focused

Do you love me enough that I may be weak with you? Everyone loves strength, but do you love me for my weakness? That is the real test.


Ironic in many ways. You speak with certitude while trashing certitude. You did a masters for something I got for free.

The real masters is when you find the real gnostics. They don't claim certainty. In fact, they run from it.

Your MA appears to have been from a religious school, perhaps a seminary. Can you imagine a conflict of interest, had you written anything outside of their narrative?


Mental rent seekers. Maybe someday I'll be able to make a difference with the physical rent seekers.


yeah, that idea of “no rulers” is turd in the anarcist’s punch bowl.

it’s a logically invalid anthropology: what it means to be human, what a human being is

you cannot make the individual prime
the individual is only coherent as a concept under an umbrella of social relations.

man is intersubjective
so necessarily we exist in a hierarchy
and the hierarchy means someone is on top, what is that if not a “ruler”?

other anarcists describe an aversion to non-voluntary relations of power, and since those relations are literally baked into human existence, the goal of getting rid of them is another way of saying they want to remove the stain of human nature.

it’s just not a valid account if reality.
it’s just another version of “wouldn’t it be nice if reality wasn’t reality”

don’t take my word for it.
do the logic yourself
following the truth leads to the same destination

I don't think he did it, but I also think that whoever did it did a good thing. Not something I'd encourage... But also, whoever did it did a very bad thing in framing Luigi. The evidence presented makes no sense, and it makes me think the government did the deed.


HEY #nostr iches 👋
Here’s my 31st #bitcoin educational video for my local community🎉
Any kind of support will be appreciated 🙏

"You Shall Not Steal"

“You shall not steal”  is a universal moral principle shared by many religions. It reflects respect for private property 🏠, fairness ⚖, and honesty 🧭.

But today, theft hasn’t disappeared—it’s just gone stealth mode 🕵♂.
Most people don’t notice that governments 🏛 and central banks 💵 are committing a silent robbery every day: inflation 📉.

Money used to be backed by gold. Now it’s printed without restraint 🖨, and your hard-earned savings lose value. This legalized wealth transfer quietly drains the public and feeds the state and the elites 💼🕳.
They say “a little inflation is good” 🤔 — but would you ever say “a little theft is good”? ❌

✨ Enter Bitcoin. Its supply is fixed 🔒. No one can print more. No authority can quietly steal your purchasing power 🧮.
Bitcoin lives the commandment: “You shall not steal”. It respects your money and your autonomy 🗝.

Moreover, it also reflects values shared across spiritual traditions:
🔍 Transparency – Every transaction is on the blockchain

⚖ Fairness – Equal rules for all, no special access, even Satoshi

🕊 Freedom – You control your keys, your money

🧘 Simplicity – No banks, no hidden fees

🌍 Protection – Empowering the unbanked, transfer value globally

Bitcoin isn’t just money—it’s moral resistance, digital integrity,
and a step toward a more honest, fair, and free world.

I wasn't aware. We don't do any content analysis, just follows, and soon mutes. I think muts will help in removing this shit.


mainly they are using custodial services, probably mainly primal

everything is about primal on nostr, even though that was never supposed to be the way it works

that's why we are #ragecoding at #gitcitadel to actually build tools that allow comercial use, without cashflow we are all just hobby coders


i'm pretty sure it's something in the accept filters for requests and events

gonna get on that this afternoon after i do a couple more hours fiat mining


test


wait, what?


yeah, they aren't gonna get it until they cost someone a lot of money

uncle bob might have some choice comments about this kind of programming, he made a good talk about the subject of software and liability some years back


i think i finally may have figured out the main problem that was going on with #realy on my VPS...

it has a memory limiting setting that was set to 1gb and idk for what reason, it seemed to stall and get stuck, yet if i turned it down to the default, 250mb, it runs much better... mysterious runtime variables... probably would even be better to not mess with them but i figured put it there to hint to the GC to try and keep the pile small and sweep it in little bursts to help performance on low spec hardware... it probably doesn't matter making that value bigger on my dev box because it has 64gb of memory and it could garbage up a lot more than it probably is, but performance is much the same


hopefully soon i will have some front end dev pestering me for changes and fixes in the HTTP API soon and maybe get started working on some simple redundancy stuff, and i'm always up for questions about data structures because that's one of my specialties.

just been starting to get that in my paid gig and that feeling of being involved and not just some arcane mage mixing potions in the background that nobody can see what i'm doing is nice


i would just add that blu esky is even worse, it uses CBOR binary for its API, and their data structures are absurdly expansive, at least nostr events are simple

yup, our brains can only recognise at most three at once by a glance, that's why many countries have place separators every 3 places, many programming languages permit them too, in Go it's an underscore, means the same to the machine but you can make more sense of it quickly

according to their perspective, we are their employees, if you see what the technical name for government laws it is "statutes" and these are the rules governing the employees of a corporation

and all governments are registered corporations, the Queensland government, for example, is registered as the Brigalow Corporation.

their enforcement officers, the police, assume that you are what essentially amounts to being an employee of the state except they don't pay you, i mean, how much more obvious can it be that they consider us their slaves, and that they are a plutocracy?


dogs are very close to us in this way, they seek outside validation for everything, and compete for the right to be the one making the rules and issuing the commands

this is the downside of being intelligent, you have to form a model in your brain for everything in order to interact with it, it's not preordained in your DNA


they think that markets are some kind of ideology instead of being the physical reality of being a sovereign individual

proof of control is the only test you need for ownership, nobody can take that away from me without my permission


i'm also exploring how to trigger the script, ssh can run stuff on the other end in one like this:

ssh user@host "bash -s <~/.local/bin/script"


i'm a #golang maxi, i don't use anything else except shell scripts pretty much, and always aim to find the simplest solution for everything

sometimes i make generators to simplify the build for stuff that is easily automated, and i tend ot put the //go:generate command within the generated code so i can just go to the code and click and it's updated (this is a feature in goland)

i'm not a hard core sysop so just this kind of simple stuff like push/rebuild/restart is about as much as i have the nerves for, i get paid good for my systems programming work so i'm gonna keep on honing that blade until better things come along, and nostr is my testbed


can't do it with ecash any more than lightning, this is a false marketing point from those clowns

what good is it to receive a token you can't spend because the issuer is offline, uh, duh


You're right, Jumble shouldn't add those meaningless tags when there's no image information. Thanks for the feedback, I've addressed the issue.

These extra tags won't affect the display of your notes on any client.


this is a lucky coincidence for them, it's not factual, it was atmospheric electricity that caused the desynchronisation of the grid

also, just remember that unless you can provably reference that post was made on that date, this is a psyop


there is no way they could have known that this anomaly would happen yesterday morning even hours before it, the magnetic field is weakening and all kinds of other signs exist that point at this, and are they going to counterfactually claim that puerto rico had been hacked as well? and what happens when one hits china can we blame chinese hackers for that?

if you replace the word "entropy" with the word "chaos" in the sense of chaos theory, then yes

chaos is the beginning, it has all potential but it is nothing, literally

time first starts ticking with a clock of positive and negative

time splits into two, and you get 1 dimension of space

1st dimension splits into 2 and you get 2d of space

2nd dimension spits into 3, and you have a finite, but unbounded volume that we call the universe

then you have a 4th dimension, which creates forms, such as planets and stars and meteorites

then a 5th dimension creates life, made of self-creating patterns of matter that have a birth, life, and death, and then are recycled

then a 6th dimension which gives you what us humans call agency, or free will

then the 7th dimension is what we call enlightnenment or ascension

then the 8th dimension, which is God, encompassing the totality of all that came before it

and the reverse process is happening in the opposite direction of time, which is the hidden source of entropy feeding into our 6 dimensional existence

i'm sure it is fast, i've been working on a comparison matrix in my fiat mine job but man the computation gets slow at much over 1000 elements, fortunately usually it is only comparing a single row which has linear expansion of compute cost, your graph is a neighbour weighting calculation which you decay pretty fast so it's more of a neighbours calculation

i've explained everything and i'm leaving the GC onedev also

i already see enough previews of retarded videos with raoul pal constantly being posted by my boss and meanwhile the cost of running apps on shitcoin chains inevitably goes up dramatically after all the hype dies down and the dumbass invest00rs are onto the next new hotness

i'm not reading that shit on my fucking nostr feed, and that goes for the endless bullshit about "nEcCeSsArY cHaNgEs" to bitcoin protocol

newsflash: the changes aren't necessary, all shitcoins are just milking retail with hype, there is no real product because no sane service provider is going to use the least efficient database system for their product, only silly people who are chasing after grants from these endless stream of scams


"devs"

none of which can build a relay

and half of them are now writing code with Claude

they are just influencoors, really


for those who saw my messages about the sysop of #gitcitadel yesterday

the problem, as i saw it, was he doesn't understand that NIP-42 specifies that the client has to put the relay address, eg wss://realy.mleku.dev in the auth message, and when the relay is behind a reverse proxy, the reverse proxy has to tell the relay what address the client reached the reverse proxy through

i already have PTSD about how byzantine nostr protocol is in general, and retarded, and MY reverse proxy correctly works as you can see by simply using the one in the address i just named

i don't appreciate being treated like i don't know my subject matter by someone who thinks they are some kind of fancy fucking ops tech who clearly does not understand the nostr protocol and has never deployed a nostr relay that requires auth

and i especially don't appreciate it when i explained it all in detail, repeatedly, for the last month, and the dude doesn't even click the link to the http API docs, and nearest i can tell is because the dude has a phobia against #golang

he doesn't read the code, he doesn't read my instructions, and he doesn't run any of the NECESSARY tools that i stipulated were necessary, in order to do configurations like dynamically changing the logging in order to see what address the relay is receiving from the reverse proxy and why the auth is being rejected

it's not just "working on my side", it's how nostr fucking auth works, ok?

i refuse to work with this guy any further after he has repeatedly shown that he seems to be lacking respect for the person who builds the software he has been asked to deploy

if gitcitadel want to use my relay, they are on their own, at this point, unless they can persuade this guy to fucking pull his head in and actually follow SIMPLE instructions


yeah, the ML and AI features in intellij very often, like 2 out of 3 times doesn't even get the types right, the autocomplete very often picks something completely irrelevant and only starts to get what i'm doing after i've done about 5 examples

intelligent, it is not

and like you say, planes are going to be falling out of the sky if this shit infiltrates mission critical software development


in go, interfaces > functional
in java, interfaces > objects

the reason why i am a #golang maxi is because no other language has coroutines, functional and interfaces, and no objects

name one other language that describes. that's right, because there isn't one.


notice is a relay emitted event, supposed to have the message shown in the UI somewhere

if you want the client to send a message, use a 20k numbered ephemeral event, it's used by nip-46 bunkers to send events to get signed


https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne/issues/5714

gonna work on this bug this afternoon, i added a clamp to stop it from panicking but the result was that it undoes the paste instead of the delete, so there is some further issue where the text edit i am doing is not pushed to the undo stack


haha, so, the project i'm working on requires a new flag in a friend request and it turns out that they can't just upgrade the smart contract to add the field easily (because one chain can, the other chain can't) and the interfaces of the back end have to be uniform for the front end to use them

gotta love these "smart" contracts, fuckin retarded contract limitations because the data normally is supposed to be acount balance changes and this one is not that category and one of the chains doesn't allow it

i have to smile because this means i just got an extra bit of time while they work out a solution on the back end and i can continue my work for a little longer before i'm under pressure to deliver.

this wouldn't happen if they used a normal fucking database instead of a smart contract chain to store data.

i try to avoid pointing out the folly of using blockchains to store data too often but the temptation in this case is pretty strong.

i don't hate shitcoins for no reason. they don't have a real product of any value, the investors are flighty butterflies that don't value maturity in the code, and only value new wingdings being added which almost always means a total rewrite and yet another new fucking shitcoin chain.

so much for immutability.

smart contracts (database scripts) combined with blockchains is a hot mess and here's yet another black mark on it.


honestly though, the "steak" (not sausage) looks more like a turd also haha


https://www.amazon.es/-/en/gp/product/B08TCG2RH7/ref=sw_img_1?smid=AE7C3LYRWNWKP&psc=1

i found this, should be pretty decent, i saw that zinc also has a role in eye health as well, and if my boron levels are low the boron will ensure i absorb it better

yeah, the problem is partly my close vision focus is weak, and my convergence at close distance is sometimes stubborn especially with horizontal objects, text being exactly this, so calcium helps convergence, and the potassium will improve overall muscle strength, i think there is also mineral deficiency effects with zinc in particular related to the visual cortex, so it's probably a combination of nerves and muscles combined

hopefully in a few weeks when i've got the whole stack under way i will start to see an effect because my vision at distance is perfect, these +1 prescription reading glasses only help at close range, beyond about 2m it starts to actually reduce my distance focus... which is probably also related to the calcium/potassium/zinc stuff

gonna be so releived if i can use the pc with text small after i am taking this stuff for a while... i always had perfect vision as a child but i used to have motion sickness too which has a connection with vision function, and i know that a high carb diet and probably the celiac reaction was at play with that, depleating nutrient absorption and causing inflammation


i am switching to https://fyne.io but unfortunately it has still got a lot of stuff to get to full maturity (like the ctrl-delete/backspace undo bug i found, and actually fixed sized windows)

however our man @mattn (not sure why jumble doesn't find his npub) has written this https://github.com/mattn/tailscale-systray

so, i will be using this to add a system tray icon for bunk, the name i'm giving to the bunker, which will allow me to sorta wiggle past the limitations of fyne by triggering appear/disappear of the bunk window.

probably will do a lot more things with it later but i'm aiming to try and build an MVP with minial features that actually achieves me having a working nostr bunker signer on linux desktop (i'm not even gonna bother to try and support windows at the moment) as well as an android/ios version, later, with my main target for it to just blanket accept all signing requests no matter kind and become minimally usable as a replacement for a browser signer like alby extension for this use case.

i'm kinda having trouble pushing myself to focus hard on this but probably once i have that MVP (sans systray) i'll feel more focused. baby steps.


i was watching bumblebees this morning, always something to see... was a few days of frequent heavy rain and winds here, i like that too though it makes me a bit slow

i'm enjoying watching silberengel the front end dev rn


Well, it would keep the repo a bit neater and mean I wouldn't need to have a big warning banner across the ReadMe. 😂

DO NOT TOUCH THIS COMMIT. MIGHT EXPLODE. THANK YOU FOR READING.


Yo, Mleku, can I tap into realy.mleku.dev with my Silberengel account and does it have the API access, already?


https://github.com/mleku/realy/blob/dev/cmd/nauth/main.go

that's the source code that does that thing, it creates a `Nostr <somebiglongbase64string>` you need to paste into the `Authorization` header for all the auth-required endpoints

of course, if you are using a standard NIP-98 http auth library like the one in go-nostr to get a token to auth with that works too, has about a minute tolerance for clock skew


Okay, let me try myself, first, for the learning effect. I'm going to run a local one and read and write to the REST parallel with the local nostr-rs-relay, for all of the tests, to make sure that works. And I'll add your mleku relay to the default relay list, using the websocket.


i wouldn't worry about it, it's the biggest compliment really when people use your code, even if it be broked

though it's not a big compliment if they fork it and totally refactor and rewrite it and every so often spew vitriol at you for making so many bugs that even after all that work still the creepy crawlies are coming out of the woodwork


depends on whether it's acute, obtuse or convex (a divot or a hole)


monospace is for code, and can stand out as titling, but this is back to front


i'm not doing so well with the bunker app at the moment... it's all just in a spaghetti and i don't know where anything is. probably i need to rewrite it and start by building the parts properly instead of the jumble that it is now

it's not as easy to make something clean from scratch as it is to fix something that is mostly already good

one of the things that has been challenging is remembering how to encrypt passwords, and compounded with that i'm using a secure enclave library to store the secret between signings, so i'm a bit foggy with it all, and having to look back and forth where stuff should be i'm just failing

probably i'm not gonna do anything with it for a little while, the foggy brain is still clouding me and ironically things have flipped - my fiat mine programming task is relatively easy, and easier to be motivated about because i am being paid, where this bunker is kinda just a whim and i've got a general feeling of malaise at the moment like i don't want to do anything

probably just gonna play games for a while and nothing much else on this quiet sunday, maybe even tomorrow i will do longer hours on the fiat mine, i feel like i need some time to recover from breaking my caffeine abstinence and get my sleep patterns back in order... this is probably just fatigue


i'm still recovering from making the mistake of drinking red bull 4 days last week and a bottle of vodka over the weekend lol... i can't think right now at all, i'm awake, but at what cost :)

these are the main people behind #alexandria

some of its infra may use my #realy relay, but i had a very strong disagreement with their main sysop so maybe not a lot of it


saving space on the database is a trivial benefit, UTXOs are growing in number anyway and idk what to say about anyone who doesn't think that segwit was a mistake, as was its discount

the big blockers won the blocksize war, 2023 proved that


i run my own VPN off a VPS that also runs a relay and a few other web services including allowing me to get my dev testing servers connected via HTTP

in the first few months cloudflare often would pop up and then it started to pop up less and i think now it's barely ever appearing because probably my IP was used by some scammy shithead and it's now been about 9 months clean, so they forget about it

which means that a lot of sites don't even see my address as a VPN anymore but just another IP address

it's very easy to run a wireguard tunnel into a VPS, and it is cheaper, when i factor in everything my server does, probably costs me about $5/month and no site can geoip me, all they see is Sofia, Bulgaria, which is a terrible place to try and enforce copyright claims, haha

i would be running it out of Astana, Kazakhstan if it weren't for the antirussian bullshit (and it's not fucking russia ffs), so Sofia is a good choice, plus their connectivity is amazing there (bulgarians love their cheap fast internet... 100mbit unlimited optic fibre connection in a country town, back in 2017... now typically 200M to 1Gbit


i hope this spreads to more amanhecer franchises because the supermarket near me, would be sweet to be able to pay in lightning, but it's probably gonna be one of the last, though there's more vendors popping up nearby adopting

this is why i came to madeira... very active bitcoiner community busy normalizing bitcoin as payment, and the governor of the region was reelected as well, so this helps a lot too (though for some reason some locals really hate him)


i've been taking a big break from working on nostr things

i have a bunker signer app, that will have windows/mac/linux/ios/android binaries for it, but i'm taking a break from it since yesterday

i've got the beginnings of it done, but still need to implement its database and plug in the service that connects to the relay to receive signing requests

instead i have been playing hours and hours of Kingdom Two Crowns, trying to achieve beating the Greed on all islands with one monarch... just by focusing my effort on this instead of being half distracted thinking about other things, i have started to figure out the game mechanics a lot better, and i'm now just done cleanly finishing the first 3 of the 5 islands

gonna keep playing it until i beat it and then maybe i'll return to Bunk, the name i have given to my bunker signer

i have plans once i'm finished bunk i will then write a GUI to interact with the HTTP API using what i have learned and using a bunker signer as the only method for signing events, as the API needs a signer and using a bunker bypasses the need for me to understand how to integrate javascript trash, in fact, while i could make the GUI into a web app served by #realy i'm going to focus first on building it as a native app, i think this is more useful anyway, so you will be able to install it on your phone and tinker with the API

possibly later with collaboration with nostr:npub1l5sga6xg72phsz5422ykujprejwud075ggrr3z2hwyrfgr7eylqstegx9z and her document converter/uploader work, i can add the feature to it so it can upload a document to a conversion server based on her php code (i think you could probably get this done by the time i've completed the basic API interface) and with the UI built as a web app, the realy API interface will be fully integrated for doing stuff for pushing documents to #alexandria as well.


fun fact:

i live on an unlisted path, off an unlisted road, in a barely recognised little village next door to Boaventura in #madeira

i've made a change to the delivery of my parcel from italy from nostr:npub17nd4yu9anyd3004pumgrtazaacujjxwzj36thtqsxskjy0r5urgqf6950x but i'm a bit concerned the UPS driver isn't going to know where to stop and probably won't speak very good english. the postal delivery guy who has been bringing my amazon packages to the cafe/bar in town speaks no english and i just have to sorta hope he said what i thought he said and say "sim"

i hadn't got anything from amazon in the 5 months i've lived in this place up until last week, and now i'm trying to do it, man, so frickin complicated.

last thing before that was a shirt i ordered from the space weather news guy of their last edition of the "suspicious observers" tshirt but i got no call and they sent a customs extortion love letter to the address and it was already long gone and destroyed by the pigs in lisbon

the only positive experience i have ever had with ecommerce in europe has been in england and the local ecom networks and couriers in bulgaria, everywhere else has been utter shit, and anything coming from outside of europe is a total nightmare of bureaucracy.

i can't wait for europe to finally fall apart

they are fast-tracking the CDBC like they think they can save their hides by stealing peope's money directly from their bank account, or try to force people to spend their money by putting expiry dates on it

hurry up and shoot yourself in the foot already brussels. also, i'm getting really tired of the corrupt government "services" here in portugal altogether... the post, the tax office, it's all a clown show circus dog and pony extravaganza of retardation.


https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/interior-secretary-warns-us-risk-spain-style-blackouts

while it is partly true that spain's 100% renewable grid is a totally retarded idea, since someone's gotta make coke to build the steel for the windmills somewhere anyhow, that's physically impossible to change, and it's even worse if you talk about aluminium, not to mention its lack of durability and elasticity, without any kind of batteries for their system they are prone to failure

but that isn't what caused the blackouts, though it doesn't help

the cause was a breach in the earth's magnetosphere that let solar energy down into the lower atmosphere and dissipating into the grid wiring

this is what generalyl causes the kind of desynchronisation problem the grid was having, it wasn't just a lack of power, it was actually the opposite, there was too much power for the systems to handle

this kind of bullshit isn't helping, while it's true that going all in on stupendously inefficient "renewable" (cough, with the addition of coal to make the steel and run the kilns that bake the photovoltaic crystals), the bigger problem is that these incursions of solar energy are only going to continue to get worse, we are just coming out of the solar minimum now, and the solar max is set to be at least 4x as much energy hitting us peaking sometime in the next  6 years, while the shield is sputtering, and more and more of the infrastructure is becoming heavily dependent on electricity, when the wires of the high tension long distance transmission wires get filled with energy from the sun, they will catch fire, it's not gonna be fast to get this back on track

and we are going to have more blackouts over the coming months, last year's big peak of geomagnetic storms was in may, so it's very likely that it could even happen that some grids are so damaged they take weeks to come back online

though, ending this bullshit "renewable" will be a good part of this, it's not the power generators that are going to be the weakest link, it's going to be the links


yep, it's an empty gesture that seems like pandering to shitcoiners, no wonder a lot of people are refusing to upgrade or switching to knots

plus there has been a bunch of suspicious PRs getting merged on the core repo that raise a lot of red flags

my feeling is that core dev group has been effectively infiltrated and is now going to lose all credibility going forward


what i mean is, there should be an event that stores metadata and refers to the external object and provides all the info in the metadata that would help UIs display info about it


probably amethyst :rolls eyes:


it's like how a URL is a reference to another server, or an event ID refers to an event


popularity contests on social media are fiat

the purpose of them is to disttribute the newly printed money to them for pulling the 90% lurkers who follow


you have to read between the lines a bit but the fallen angels transgressed by fucking human women and breeding hybrid giants and this was said to be a very bad thing

i think it wasn't just the fact they made hybrid offspring but the fact that they basically raped and abused the mothers as well, treating them like a bad cattle farmer, and it was forbidden to breed angels with humans because of this hybrid problem, there is also more about this and what Jesus actually was, was put in Mary by the angel Gabriel, a carefully crafted embryo of a carefully designed human/angel hybrid, who was then also trained and sent to many teachers from age 12 until he started his ministry in his 33rd year

it's more clear in other apocryphal versions of genesis like Jasher and Jubilees but it's also very clear in all versions of the apocrypha Enoch in all three versions, jewish, eastern orthodox and ethiopian orthodox

i know a lot of christians disregard those texts but i think they are foundational and they are very consistent between them, mostly just more detailed than Genesis, and i'm of the opinion that they are historically factual in most respects though i think that some of the details are not quite correctly carried forwards, like the family timeline and ages of the antediluvian tribe of Adam, i think there is errors in the timeline of that because the geological evidence says that it was 12000 years ago there was a global catastrophe of the scale described of Noah's journey on the Ark, which puts Adam at closer to 15000 years ago (so, 13000BC is adam and 10000BC is the flood.


i see them as a subspecies of human, from the same root, whose different constitution allowed them to become spiritually advanced

they clearly had some kind of "flying chariot" technology as well as being able to project themselves into people's minds and communicate by what could only be described as telepathy

you have to keep in mind that the other humans, who are like us, were not a lot different to the modern example of the isolated polynesian tribes who were visited by an american army pilot who crashed on their island, and the way they recorded the story was greatly amplified and primitive in that they saw what to them was miracles, these weapons that shot "lightning bolts" and "spinning flaming swords" (which were probably also some kind of energy weapon)

and we all have the genetics of these angels in our family lines dating way back to the time of Noah, 10,000 years ago, indeed according to Enoch that was part of the problem that led quickly to the sodom and gomorrah and tower of babel situation which i strongly suspect dates to 6000 years ago, as there is a global disaster every 6000 years, but it's every second one that is bad, like Noah, and the other one is more mild, like what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah - impactors from space formed from a solar superflare that ejected a massive amount of material that condensed and smashed into many places across the planet, there are stories of these, sometimes described as "great fiery dragons" in norse mythology, for example, and the likely cause of the desertification of north africa and the middle east

and i also think that minimizing the amount of "authorized" bible texts that contained more detail about the interbreeding of angels and humans was part of the agenda of the Council of Niceae (sp?) because they wanted to suppress what was at the time common knowledge, and purged Enoch from most of western and central europe, but the text survived not just in eastern europe, but also in ethiopia and in israel as well (all three religions/denominations accept Enoch as canon) but this wasn't available to those central/western europeans between the formation of the catholic church and the discovery of the Ethiopian Orthodox text, and more recently extensive fragments of Enoch were found in the collection of documents found called the Dead Sea Scrolls

i think that the evil ones have tried to hide the facts from people and promote instead this idea of disincarnate beings and muddled the translations to obscure this - even the official canon books in more modern translations have many hints and references to this that were curated out of the versions we are more familiar with.

this is my rational, scientific view based on history and psychology, and the documents themselves, and that if the texts say that they were going to come back before the next disaster, they are about due to appear and fulfill their promise to end the rule of Satan and his cult of death and decadence, very soon.


pretty sure that even version 18 of core is still happily talking to the network and able to transmit blocks, backwards compatibility is very much a rule with bitcoin development, so what the core devs has done is very sinister in my view


people seem to have forgot they did shadowbanning a year or so back


i really wish that some client devs would get the point that we mute them for a reason not because we want to be teased with a hider taking up screen space and provoking us to be curious after we already got sick to death of these clowns

and same goes with replies, i don't want to see replies to my mutes either, fuck them, even if the replier isn't trash they are obviously stupid


Please watch this and save yourself and family from false hopes.

the king's words were pretty clear and his deeds even clearer

samuel, samson, job, daniel, noah, the list goes on and on of the patriarchs of the Church who opposed corruption, and in many cases, corruption within the earthy congregation

and the modern stories such as the woman who threw her chair at the priest over the church leaders obeying the king's mandate to see him as the king is another example

the modern papacy is a corrupt organisation with leaders now who are literally whitewashing the crimes of the abuser priests among them, which means their real king is not the same one who hung on the cross


well, ok, i can be quite cynical a lot of the time, it's true, but i know when i see people engaging in legitimate curiosity, i know this feeling well


i know, but i could also talk about how the whole protestant religion maintains this idea that a compilation of texts made by corrupt romans is the "word of god" is pretty questionable as well

among christians the best ones i see are quakers and episcopal

to me, the purpose of the assembly is teaching, and the sharing and talking between the congregants after the sermon are just as important, and i especially dislike this business of "worship"

this also is based on another fallacy promoted by the original catholic church to convert jesus into the King and i question whether this is factual or a mixed up story related to a contemporary jewish resistance leader who was also executed by the romans with extensive documented evidence of this, for apparently this state-heresy of claiming authority over the jews

i just point to revelation 19:10 for this:

https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Revelation/19/10

And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

note how he also doesn't assert identity between Jesus and God?

jesus is a servant of God just as this angel was and just as we are called to be

there is no earthly authority that is not beholden to Satan


haha no, was only up to mid thigh, only one leg went in

it was hilarious tho... i had drank several shots of my friend's dad's home distilled bulgarian grape brandy, i have never drank such a fine grape rakija since then, though the average serbian homebrew plum brandy is very consistently amazing, where bulgarian rakija can be very mixed


yeah, it depends on the still... a lot of yugoslavian and bulgarian home stills are fancy coiled condensers and allihn and similar, 400mm long pyrex glass condensers and copper boilers, that's why the quality is so high, those kinds of stills sip the fractions very precisely and the first part they discard, that's the methanol, and they discard the last part, which is full of fusil oils like butyl alcohols, which give the burn

distillation is fun... you can even do a pretty good job with a condenser made out of thin and thick copper pipe with adapter pieces to seal up the cooling jacket, a decent copper liebig condenser, i made one one time back in 2004 when i was living in auckland.


if you ever get the bug to go do a bit of travel i can highly reccommend visiting serbia and trying local home made rakija... and while you are there, you need to try their "rostijl" bbq food, freakin amazing tasty food, the best in the world, cevapi, pljeskavica, kaimak... mmm the bosnians are pretty good at it too, i wouldn't know about croatia because i never visited, just passed through once or twice


exactly!

i learned about manipulation tactics in late 2021 after having an employer love bomb me in the interview, it was the most bizarre feeling of infatuation, that i didn't understand, and that raised questions in my mind and then i read about how cults work and i recognised all the patterns in the whole operation of my employer down to the humiliation ritual that was every morning start of the standup the "favourite" colleague was shamed for his bad english accent by this prime psycho founder

then i started looking around at the people around me who i had been feeling oppressed by and discovering that i had been subjected to being manipulated to have phobia of leaving and giving money over that was way more than i was due to pay, and then even as i was on my way out of there, i noticed that another person i had been in contact with on and off was playing this humiliation ritual game with me trying to bend my mind to his will...

ever since the beginning of 2022 that has been a thing of the past, i know what psychopathic manipulation looks like and i call it out every time i see it here on nostr, that's part of the reason why so many of the in-crowd guys hate me, because i know they are all pompous fucking wannabe cult leaders, mostly pretty second rate but they all have their flocks, and it makes me sick


the bosnians are more country bumpkins than the serbs, most of the serbian population is concentrated in nis, novi sad and belgrade, and it's a small, dry country, mostly they just grow corn and rapeseed there, and the countrty people burn trash by the side of the fields (ugh) but while bosnians are less sophisticated, it is notable that bosnian men have the highest stature of all countries in the world (even taller than dutch) and unlike almost anywhere else in europe these days, you can buy all the actual beef and lamb you want in bosnia, as well as some of the best dairy products i have ever tasted


so, a few days in to taking potassium and a calcium/magnesium/zinc supplement and i definitely have a noticable improvement in my close vision compared to how it was in the last 3 weeks before that. right now typing this without my glasses on and i can read the font at the smallest size same as i could with larger font most of this year so far


yeah, i wouldn't mind if he would fuck right off also


php hasn't changed much since 2003 has it?

unlike python which has had die unendliche geschichte of the version 3 upgrade since a little after that time, and complicated pip that i always avoid using it beacuse it's a nightmare to install

every time i see a project is in python i just skip it basically


when a programming language either only adds features and not changes them, or doesn't change much, this is the sign of a good dev team

it's total fiction that languages need to change quickly, that is a total disrespect for the programmers. Rob Pike wrote an article about the "10 year challenge" a while back, and asked "can you still build a 10 year old repo that hasn't been updated since then with the latest version of your toolchain" (paraphrased) and with Go this is true, probably it is also true with php

i know that it's not so commonly used nowadays, almost every idiot is running nodejs on servers now but this is like, uh, maybe 2x faster than python and go is 5x faster than that and c++/rust/java manage maybe 6x faster, but if you consider the stability of the language as important for especially open source but also long-term security for anyone who wants to not spend inordinate amounts of money on devs constantly upgrading for a constantly changing language, then hah. yeah... java is out, c++ is pretty much out, nodejs is a total shambles, rust is pretty bad also, and python, psh i'd rank it a little above nodejs but totally pathetic performance


lol, fiat is winning? is that why bitcoin market cap has now eclipsed amazon? is that why there is NO fiat assets that have the inflation hedging benefit of just holding bitcoin? is it possible this whole argument is forgetting the fact that it's not just the user behaviour but the parameters of bitcoin's issuance that is why it is a good inflation hedge (hint: it's lower than gold production)

bitcoin's MoE arc is entirely dependent on continued advancement and proliferation of lightning, there is no other way to make POS practical for bitcoin, ok, you can use onchain for ecommerce because of the time of confirmation is well below the time of dispatch of deliveries but it's a total failure for buying stuff from a physical store or hospitality venue


google search has been shit since about 5 years now, they have polluted their databases with so much marketing bullshit that i couldn't find shit all.

duckduckgo and brave search have been better than google from about this time onwards,  in terms of actually finding the information you are looking for

also, i'm hungry for information, and still with search engines even the better ones i'm starving.


yeah, it's hard to explain it in text, visuals are essential, and it's one of my favourite things, figuring out how to express in words concepts that people get pictures from, because i think in pictures. that feeling of making a connection.


That's already a NIP.


just rode a bus through it on the way to banja luka a couple of times

i understand the beaches are very nice

It's Nostr-flavored markup, but it's based upon Markdown or Asciidoc.


nostr flavored as in it recognises nostr: prefixed entities right? or are you supposed to use link: with those?

i stand with... not being part of a collective

i support... people thinking for themselves and not just chanting slogans because they think some dude who does that is cool


There is the NIP repo ReadMe.md list, but many kinds aren't on it.

The ReadMe list additions are the only PRs that usually go through.


they do dig up the garden and poop in it and pee in it and that can be bad sometimes

when i had a lot of pot plants i found that those puffed ceramic balls were good to cause them to get distracted chasing the balls around. won't work so well with older cats but if there's a lot of them around it will at least distract the ones under 2 years of age


i don't see how a bit of peroxide (even 6%) is gonna do anything bad to a frozen pizza, wat a numbskull

no wonder he got haxed, he has no brain


i need to actually revise my kinds list and make sure i'm catching all of the text kinds before i proceed, and add an admin control to trigger a reindex before i get to the search


#realy #devstr #progressreport

so, now i am up to the stage of actually writing a search function, i realise that the fulltext indexes need a lot more data in them

the fulltext index will have all this :

[ 15 ][ word ][ 32 bytes eventid.T ][ 32 bytes pubkey ][ 8 bytes timestamp.T ][ 2 bytes kind ][ 4 bytes sequence number of word in text ][ 8 bytes Serial ]

with this as the result from the word query, i can now then filter out by timestamps, pubkeys and kind immediately upon getting them, and with the sequence number in the text i can quickly determine sequence similarity by the words being in query order and then compared by the number of them that are in the same sequence

with all of these extra fields in the keys, almost all of the necessary filtering required for a fulltext search can be done effectively, and the amount of data in the index is not so great but the main thing is that the word matches can be found immediately, filtered by their timestamp and kind, grouped by their common presence in an event, and then sorted in their sequence order within the event.

it is a lot of data but all of these fields are needed to evaluate and without them being in one index i would make a lot more queries and decoding to find them, and this trades off some extra size in the database for speed at finding, filtering and sorting matches

gonna need to make a specific data structure for it, well, probably a set of functions that pick out the field and decode it, that would be more efficient since i can then quickly jump to the field that needs to be filtered according to the other, non-fulltext part of the search, eg, the kinds, the pubkey, the timestamp range... not really exactly sure which of those the process should be ordered in... probably pubkey, kind, timestamp, in that order, depending on the presence of those in the filter

this may take longer than i hoped but i honestly didn't really have any idea what would be involved... at day 3 working on this now, and i only have the index writing done, but with this scheme designed i should progress quickly to a working search function


canaries and espetada madeirense are the two highlights for me


yeah, though i have a special privilege in that i can write a little tool to generate them for myself and i can just check on the dependencies and functions to be certain nothing is calling the network... i have written dozens of key generators in the last 8 years

only the system random number generator can be suspect but every time a bad CSPRNG is found it is removed, this is the main non-network vulnerability, and affects TLS in a bad way that's why they fix them so fast
