I've spent the last few days messing around with #Reticulum and have been surprised by the number of people building #Nomadnet sites. Content is still sparse, but the individuals involved are freely broadcasting their own sites over the protocol without interference or ownership by anyone else. I think this is something that Bitcoiners and so many others could and should get behind. #freedomtech View quoted note →

#Reticulum nerds, is there any danger in adding too many interfaces to #MeshChat or #Columba?

I finally got #Meshchat up and running. I basically was lacking the proper, public-facing interfaces necessary to find peers and to find Nomadnet sites. After messing around with this for a few hours, I can't help but feel like I'm back in my old #Bitmessage days. Does anyone else remember chat software? #asknostr #Reticulum @shortwavesurfer2009 View quoted note →

#Reticulum nerds, I need your help. I set up Sideband on an old Android phone, and it seemed to connect to peers by itself. I was able to look at the announcements and find others to connect to all over the planet. I've just installed MeshChat on my desktop, and it says I've not discovered any peers and thus can't receive any announcements. What can I do to connect to everyone else? Any pointers? #asknostr @shortwavesurfer2009

Anybody planning to make a desktop client? It would be great to have a Nostr client that promoted secure FOSS clients for Linux, Windows, etc. #asknostr View quoted note →

I'm maybe only 20-30 minutes into @CJ Killmer's first episode on psychopathic rulers, but he does a great job of distinguishing between psychopathy and psychosis. I'll definitely finish this episode and the follow-up he's released just recently. However, I thought those interested in such topics might enjoy a few other, related books that I'm currently working through: 1. 5 Types of People Who Can Ruin Your Life Bill Eddy, a social worker, defines what Narcissists and Sociopaths are and goes on to explain his own category of 'High-Conflict Personalities'. He's built something of a career on defining this HCP category and teaching others how to deal with them

Making sure you're not a bot!

2. The Sociopath Next Door Dr. Martha Stout expertly weaves her teachings on sociopathy with vivid, living examples of who sociopaths are and what they do.

Making sure you're not a bot!

I've not finished either yet, but I think both works help to give us a clear image of the types of people we're dealing with on a daily basis, particularly those in leadership (whether in business or in government). #readstr #bookstr #psychology View quoted note →

What will they come up with next? View quoted note →

I turned off my VPN for the first time in forever to test something and forgot to switch it back on. However, I finally caught it when I tried to go to Archive.today, only to find that my local ISP had blocked the site, claiming it was some kind of scam site. This is the first time I've ever encountered such a warning from my ISP, which goes to show that it really does pay to have a VPN. Who is my ISP to tell me whether I can use an alternative archiving site or not?! #privacy #freedomtech
