Good old Nostr, just lost all my profile info, avatar and all the rest. Anyway, no worries, fundamentally the content is just where it should be. It should all catch up with itself I guess

Am I the only one still floundering with Fountain app? They had no idea about the Amber signer. The signer is fine with every other site but not Fountain, so no Zapping account set up. Nuts.

#asknostr what are some of the better ways these days to turn the spoken word into text?

Olive growers used to swear by Olivarda, otherwise known as mata- mosca or fly killer. Not that there are any olives our way this year, but it is an attractant to the wasps that go after the olive fruit fly. This happens to be under a tree that is a pain to pick anyway, being near a building. The smart way of doing is it to plant it out in huge areas along or around the margins of olive grove terracing. And that's all I know about olives 😂 It's going to be weird having literally not one olive on 200 trees after this last year's marathon where the harvest was beyond record breaking and the mills closed weeks later than usual, but still before everything was picked. #olives #spain #olivegroveeggs #permaculture

#asknostr whats the advantage for a business of using Strike instead of displaying a QR code and sitting like a lemon as the sats roll straight into your own custodied wallet?

Cats are reactionary animals. They " are" until circumstances change, at which point they react accordingly. I thought humans had an easier time of it, being the apex predator. No single event can really change the status quo, but I didn't think our species was supposed to view everything as part of the status quo and not react to real dangers. When Brits lost 10% off their pensions with that bond issue a while ago, I saw and heard, Well, what can you do? They shrug, suck up more shit, carry on the same, til the next rinse, repeat. As a whole we might be the apex predator but there are some who are more apex than others and have worked "us" out. They are going to get away with so much more til enough of us wake up and stop shrugging. By us, I obviously don't include the average awoken Nostr user!.

If these bitcoin people don't need banks, what else don't they need? asked the incumbents in "power".

First stage of dream catcher day with my daughter. I've made the frame out of olive wood, and contributed a couple of chicken feathers. We might be able to find an eagle feather too. She is a real artist and I have no doubt will make it all look rather nice. It is our little contribution to a fantastic nativity scene, believe it or not. A very politically incorrect interpretation of a universal message. Been 7 years in the making, I reckon it is going to make international news, it is that good. As an idea, this is the dream catcher for Chief Joseph! Imagine how big he is, and there's life-size camels... It's amazing. #artstr #spain #olive #christmas

AOVE EVOO Our industrial food society has a knack for over-egging at one extreme, or squeezing the joy and poetry out of tradition at the other First pressing of freshly harvested olives, or Extra Virgin Olive Oil ad ee now call it, is one example. EVOO which started life known sinply as Olive Oil was once pressed at room temperature using stones and maybe water or donkey power. Now we call that "Extra Virgin olive Oil", because with progress, what producers now call "olive oil" is the lesser grade second pressing. But it's worse than that. Cold pressed Extra Virgin olive oil can be pressed at up to 60C " room temperature". So how to differentiate the purest form of oil from the one reinventing the boundaries of purity? I guess we are down to marketing and pretty pictures. Except plain and simple olive oil the old way, liquid gold, super nutritious oil with as many taste subtleties as a fine wine, s now called EVOO in certain circles. In Spanish that is AOVE, celebrated by top chefs, lauding oil done the proper way as something special. So now the purest oil is hidden behind the equivalent of WC , desemanticised. The EVOO in supermarkets is for sure not cold pressed from this year and likely is pressed at the legally stipulated 60c max for "cold" and is 2- 3 years in a stainless tank waiting for the right price And that known as "olive oil" in supermarkets, who knows what it is. For sure it is second pressing and has been cut with sunflower oil or whatever is going cheap. Is it a better bet than than straight rocket fuel seed oil? I'd hope so, but olive oil as our not so distant ancestors knew? Not a chance. So that's what little producer people like me are up against. Extra Virgin Olive Oil should not be hidden behind acronyms, not sidelined by mass produced lesser grade versions, and must prevail for international health reasons, for cultural and societal reasons, and for environmental reasons. Small scale producers can't make ends meet without perverse incentive subsidies. That's why developing a mobile chicken farm amongst the olives is so important to me. To prove that there is a way to generate regular cash flow from an "unprofitable" olive grove, while negating the need for subsidies which require farmers to plough up the land and make it look tidy. Some things shouldn't be condensed, rushed, commoditized out of existence. Something like that :) #foodstr #olives #oil #aceitedeoliva

Ghost turns all headings into a class which you can link to easily for precise anchor text linking in a document. So disappointing to realise so few websites use this system. Missing a huge trick.

Is it fair to say that if the internet ran on Tor, it would make privacy a lot easier for everyone? I never saw this explanation before of the time Proton "shopped" a French activist. Proton legally had no choice, as a law had been broken, but they said if the activist had used Tor, Proton could not have helped the police in their enquiries. Apparently Proton could have also suggested all users access their accounts via a VPN to cut out Proton's access to any usable IP info, but I guess as a VPN provider they thought it politically incorrect to say that publicly at the time!!

Ars Technica

ProtonMail removed “we do not keep any IP logs” from its privacy policy

Swiss courts compelled it to log and disclose a user's IP and browser fingerprint.

Interesting

Been a really hard 12-18 months on the ground cover. Rainfall right down, winds up. Finally a sign of life, hopefully not a false autumn dawn.
