Forgive me nostr for I am about to sin. I've been posting nostr-first / nostr-only the last few days, but I just wrote a long twitter thread full of nerdy goodness and am about to copy-paste it here. What is the proper ritual to perform to cleanse my nostr karma?

Cool, my covid tastebuds can taste Nashville hot chicken, honey mustard sauce, and even baked beans! Makes up for my morning coffee tasting like a big nothing. image

Today in Coding With Covid, I bring you a long overdue UI rendering tweak to properly display the lower-right registration box in a 25x25 or 29x29 SeedQR. Got it fixed fairly quickly but had to push through some harder debugging at the end while feeling my energy level draining out fast. Bottom just fell out suddenly on me. Feeling pretty sick again. Whee! Anyhoo, before / after: image (the red is just a temporary debugging thing so I can see my changes more easily) The errant dot rendering makes it confusing when creating your SeedQR; it looks like boxes you should be marking but the templates already have it filled in. It just makes you a little unsure of where you're at. The corrected squares-not-dots rendering also applies to the zoomed-in transcription UI, fixing the aforementioned confusion: image Got it all working and submitted the PR: Now it's bedtime for me, y'all.

My compromise solution to at least be part of the excitement at Bitcoin Park while giving people fair warning to decide for themselves what proximity is right for them. image So far every person I've talked to has been appreciative of the heads up. Some have pulled up a chair and hung out, others have stood back and had a distanced convo. It's their call and I love that they have full info to make their own decisions. Bitcoiners in person are always so much better than the noise on social media. image

A dear friend told me he has Stage 4 cancer... we talked about that for a while and then he spent 40min or so bitching about [fill in the blank politician; which one doesn't matter]. He got frustrated with me when I kept saying, "I don't give a fuck about [politician]! They're not worth the time or brain space!" And implicitly: (my god, man, you're the one with even LESS time left yet you're STILL wasting it on this shit that you can't change no matter how angry you get!) Just so hard to break people out of these nonsense tribal loyalties that they've unknowingly boxed themselves into. @note15yn7e8mh5vex2d2sddaff3gr4kmpemxgqwu0g0ex6favxjp034fq8aaez5

Oof, can't tell if sleeping on the AirBnb bed has made my lower back hurt or if it's my kidneys that are mildly aching right now. #covid

Faaaak. So many amazing things about to start happening at Bitcoin Park tonight and throughout the week, so many awesome people streaming in as we speak... and now I'm isolating myself. 😭 image Had a mild dry cough start yesterday, but thought it was just the dry A/C and not drinking enough water. Got suspicious when it continued this afternoon. Sorry to the people I interacted with today. As covid has become endemic, I know most people are a lot less worried about it, but still seems like isolating myself is the right thing to do, ya? Wouldn't be right to mingle with the 100+ people coming tonight, tomorrow nor the other 100 coming the rest of the week. Just have to hope a rapid test flips to negative before I miss everything happening this week. Until then... massive FOMO!!! 😭😭😭
