One of my favorite Nostr features is the "mute" button. When shit coin bots show up, I just press the "mute" button, and their gone. There's no need for an investigation of any sort. There's no need for a second opinion. Poof! gone.
I like smart compilers, and I cannot lie. image My objective with Nim is to use it as a replacement for C++, so that the compiler can do more of the heavy lifting; Algebraic Data Types, anyone? For work I create DLLs (plugins) which must be able to utilize a C++ ABI. Many programming languages can interact with a C ABI using a FFI, but that's not the case with a C++ ABI. But perhaps Nim can be my cheat code, given it can produce C++ code :)
I've been dipping my toes into Hyprland. I'm a 20+ year X11 junkie, so this is all new territory. I wasn't planning on doing this so soon, but the dual-monitor situation with Xorg and AMD/NVIDIA hybrid graphics is... clunky. It works, but only as long as I don't try to modify the monitors after they have been set. I get one shot to use xrandr when I log in. If I run it a second time... POOF... there goes Xorg. I was curious about how it would work on Hyprland, and... it just worked! Both monitors came right up, and I could rotate one of them without anything crashing.
Bisq 2 is coming to Nixpkgs! Well... I need to satisfy the Nixpkgs code check gods first. They speak some incomprehensible language, so it may take a while. Nevertheless, the PR is So if you want to see this happen, visit the PR and make some noise. #nix #bisq
Back in February I had the strangest, yet perhaps the most impactful Astral Projection experience. This certainly wasn't my favorite experience. Not even close! But it's one that has left a mark because of what it means personally, (which took a few days to figure out) and because it contained one specific word. It started with me laying on my bed while being in that weird, incomprehensible dream state wherein nothing makes sense. But an unusual thought came to mind: "I'll show you the way." What the heck. I don't think of phrases like that. But the moment I did I felt my bed lift up into the air. It was wobbly as you'd expect, and the damn thing launched into full flight, like I was on a roller-coaster. Yes, with me still laying on my bed. That's when I realized an Astral Projection had begun. So I calmly waited to see what would happen. It's very easy to freak out and break the experience. Everything went white, but I could still feel the awesome flying sensation. Then I thought: "Where are we going?" That thought kicked off a voice which sounded like Morgan Freeman making an announcement over a megaphone. The voice said this: "So you think, Emmanuel, that you're going to be really good at one thing or another... well those things don't matter. Follow the way of love." Then BOOM, the whole thing was over in an instant. I've never before heard my name during an Astral Projection. So that shocked me. And I did find the message rather insulting, but like it said, it made sense a few days later. A few months have passed, and I'm still a bit shocked by all of this. #soulstr
