Today, I was by and large unaffected by the Crowdstrike/BSOD situation. While we use it extensively at my day job, I mostly use Apple or Linux with the occasional elderly Windows Server instance here or there. Coincidentally I was setting up a new Windows VM yesterday and was having trouble getting to everything configured including Crowdstrike, so I gave up for the day. If it were not for needing to get some gas for my car, I would probably have had no idea the extent of the outage. As you may have expected, cash only, which was not a problem as I have been expecting such an occurrence and have a small amount available. The whole situation stinks. At best and taking the players at their word, we live in a hyper-connected Jenga game where one wrong move becomes disaster. At worst, and I feel the truth is closer to this outcome, we have let our entire infrastructure become infiltrated with a Trojan horse that can be manipulated at will.

Are there any competitors to @nostr.build ? It’s a great tool; kudos to the devs. Competition and alternatives are good though.

@Caitlin Long reposted my note and I think I’m swooning

Did some power washing today. If you’ve never used a power washer, I highly recommend it. The satisfaction to effort ratio is inordinately high. 💦

Can an npub be verified by multiple nip-05 providers?

Today is a sad day; I had to forgo buying sats for a new phone. The opportunity cost is eating me up. I’m sure others have felt this way too. What’s something you’ve had to buy instead of sats recently or something you’ve been able to forgo to keeping on stacking? #bitcoin #dca #stayhumblestacksats

I like this one. I have quite an extensive collection of t-shirts I’ve gotten over the years. Bands, brands, places and designs…I currently have 10 shoeboxes full. #bitcoin #tshirts. View quoted note →

Trying to touch grass/snow but why does the local ski mountain force me to relinquish my privacy just to ski? 🤬 #privacyisaright
