As our Independence Day in the US comes to a close, acknowledging that it was not independence for everyone: a reminder that the work was not done at the end of the American Revolution: “The spirit of the times may alter, will alter. Our rulers will become corrupt, our people careless. A single zealot may commence persecutor, and better men be his victims. It can never be too often repeated, that the time for fixing every essential right on a legal basis is while our rulers are honest, and ourselves united. From the conclusion of this war we shall be going down hill. It will not then be necessary to resort every moment to the people for support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty of making money, and will never think of uniting to effect a due respect for their rights. The shackles, therefore, which shall not be knocked off at the conclusion of this war, will remain on us long, will be made heavier and heavier, till our rights shall revive or expire in a convulsion.” - Thomas Jefferson, 1787 from Notes on the State of Virginia May we revive the rights and freedoms for everyone. Bring your resolve. Stick together.

Good Morning Nostr. Happy solstice, either summer or winter, depending on where you are! We had a really long and beautifully hot day. ☀️🔥☀️

Think truth regardless of appearances.

Trixie and Dottie are buds. Good morning Nostr. #catstr

Hello Nostr! Are you building freedom technology and need a contract developer? Or perhaps you have ideas and need the software written and deployed? I’d love to work with people who are committed to building systems that help people be as self-sovereign as possible. I’m versed in backend services (databases, APIs, data, etc.) and frontend web applications - love it all! I added a calendar to my website, so please feel free to book a free initial call to meet and connect. Looking forward to talking with you! https://christopherjones.co/booking #jobstr #jobs

The yucca are blooming here in #colorado, and the deer love to eat the flowers once they open up. They look like asparagus as they grow. Pretty amazing.

Good morning #nostriches. We went for a hike and an off trail scramble yesterday evening in Gregory Canyon. We basically just went up the north side of the canyon, crossed a bunch of cliff bands to the top of the canyon to the west, and then made our way down the south side to meet back up with the trail. The best part was when we stopped at a rocky point, and looked across the drainage where there was a black bear strolling through the grass and eating - perhaps flowers, not sure, the blueberries and choke cherries haven’t really formed yet. It was nice because when we usually see a bear, we see their rump as they are running away - they hear or see us first. This time, the bear was totally relaxed, meandering across the hillside. It eventually made it up to a rocky outcropping with some ponderosa pines and sat down, scratching its ear with its back paw. After about ten minutes of taking a bath, combing its belly hair with its front paw and the like, it settled down all curled up, resting its head on its front paws. It was about eight pm, so it was time for us to head home and get to sleep too. What a blessing.

Good morning. Thank you #nostr for being here. This world needs more connection. Kinda like more cow bell.

Hey #nostr ! Just a reminder that I will be running a free 6-week course on using the command line. It's for everyone who is curious about getting the most out of their computer, and supercharging your freedom journey! Send me a note if you are interested, and I'll send the call link. Cheers! https://awesomecommandline.com

On duty! #catstr Greenhorn Creek Trailhead, CO

What's the best way to get the word out for a free training course on Nostr? #asknostr I built the website, and the poster is attached, but how do I connect with all the commandliners to be? Thanks!

I have so much gratitude for the folks that have built the https://github.com/nostr-dev-kit. In a pretty short amount of time, I built a web contact form that sends encrypted Direct Messages from my website to my Nostr pubkey by generating an ephemeral private key for each website visitor. No SMTP, no Google-in-the-middle. Amazing. Thank you nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgnwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxtcpz4mhxue69uhkymrpwd68ytnxxaazu7re0ghsqgymdnumsr5hv39jazvley4m0cvvt220q7xe4rzg24lus238ktkjjvjd05g4 . I will keep building. While the Amethyst client decrypts the NIP-44 encrypted notes just fine, I'm unable to read them in Damus, Primal, Coracle, etc. Perhaps because these clients are still supporting NIP-04 encryption, but not NIP-44? I'm not sure - maybe someone can let me know.

Emmy, this is Nostr. Nostr, this is Emmy. She's a lion. #catstr
