Bitchat. The best way to talk to someone in the same room as you without looking up from your phone.

I thought your relay information was stored in your profile? I loaded noStreudelForYou and it didn't have the mostr relays? This happens too in ham radio so I'm used to this kind of user experience. I will be using one radio and it works fine and pick up another and all my settings are gone.

Gen Z buys vinyl. I have hope for the future. I'm more impressed by a stack of vinyl than a stack of sats.

I made this with the 424 tape machine yesterday. I had not used it in a while and it was getting dusty. I performed this poem live but couldn't play the trumpet and talk at the same time, so thanks to cassette technology, this is possible! It's a very nice analog flow on the 4 track. There is a blemish of a note I have, but I really like how 99% of the sound came out and it's a bit difficult to fix just that one note. But I prefer this flow sometimes.

Oh, I'm trying nostrudel now, I think it might be better to not have nostr on my phone.

I'm going to delete Amethyst for a week to see how it feels. If you want to get a hold of me, my preferred mediums are my PO Box and a boostagram. I enjoy checking the PO Box and I really enjoy sending listeners cassettes, which I will gladly do for free if you send me a postcard. P.O. Box 273029 Fort Collins, CO 80525

What I like about nostr is it feels just like my IPv6 meetups. Nostr isn't as popular as IPv6, but one day, it will solve all the problems of legacy protocols -- just like IPv6.

Everytime I see a new app advertising it's now built with nostr, in my mind I will replace nostr with HTTP. Then, I will be able to calibrate my excitement. A new music app built with HTTP! A new chat app built with HTTP! A new social media app with HTTP!

I lik blossom servers. They are as slow as cassettes.

My latest poem was compared to a Jesse Welles song. I'll take it.

On the U.S. Withdrawal from Afghanistan

A poem

OH, "the POINT is to increase the FOMO."

OH, "who has given chatgpt their private key and seen if it steals their funds yet?"

OH, "I accept lightning -- you can mail me a cashu token to the PO Box."

I had to run at the end of the show so I'm a bit late on this one. A few listeners told me it was the best episode yet:

Truly a master at adapting a story to different mediums.

If you want to understand @Ch!llN0w1 a bit more, let me recommend this audio tape. Robert Bly was the OG LIT podcaster. He would record his live performances and put them to tape.

I mention that Robert Bly is my favorite poet at most live events. On more than one occasion, a man has come up to me afterwards to discuss this book Iron John, and how it changed their lives. I know quite a few people now who have cited this book as being a transformative force in their lives.

Spinning a record from @letemriot !

Shells whistle overhead like the fourth of July. A cacophonous marching band of screaming and shouting nears. Old veterans sit and stare, as a jeep drives them away. Grenades tossed like candy from a float bounce my way. Fingers fly and flap like hot dogs in the sky — my shirt is now cherry pie, half eaten. Here comes the prom queen in an open sedan! An angel of peace — Without a pause she drapes me with the flag. As I sink into the ground, the jingles of patriotism move on leaving only me, with the debris in the street.

I was curious about how resistant rust was to fault injection, i.e. glitching. "With these targets being set, the Rust compiler will be your first enemy in making fault-resistant code. " I will go back to ignoring all your software security. From 2022 however.
