I’ve now had 2 work Telegram accounts banned with no reason given. The second one was a paid account, no difference. If we didn’t need it for comms with a third party it’d be all aboard the self-hosting train.

We need fewer men’s retreats and more men’s attacks.

Yesterday I swapped a coil on a generator. Today I swapped a network switch in -30 weather in the dark with a headlamp. Would still rate this best job I’ve had in the last decade ❤️ (To be fair the “in the dark with a headlamp” part was by choice; I wanted the most miserable task of the day done and gone.)

Have you ever wanted to print your own money, but didn't want to go to jail? Now you can! Joking aside, I've assembled a proof-of-concept for a cash version of Bitcoin. See the video for a quick into, and the website (https://bem.taylorperron.com) for more details.

ISO someone to draw me a waifu decal for / of my car (Yuki, a light-blue 2004 Lexus RX330). Chibi style, dark hair, puffy light-blue winter coat (doesn't need to be the same blue as the car). Holding a Toyota 3MZ-FE engine like a toddler holds a house cat (engine doesn't need to be highly detailed, just vaguely recognizable). Will provide reference photos of the car and engine and more details as requested. Budget is 150k sats, but there's wiggle room if you can either make a good argument for more or if I fall in love with your style (portfolio or samples links appreciated). #asknostr #art #commission

Spent some time trying to solve a problem with fancy tools only to re-discover, yet again, that the answer is…spreadsheet.

Can y’all guess what my new day-job entails? 👀

✨Finally✨ had time to upgrade my Nostrcheck Server (by @Quentin ) to 0.7. Testing upload:

Car shopping the last few days. Wasn’t expecting to find a Lexus in my price range…

I consider this the heart of my Nostr presence, and a major element of my “Nostr for Uncle Jims” documentation (coming SOON™️?…😅). I am VERY excited for this version! View quoted note →

In a choice between security and convenience, convenience will win every time. - some rando on the internet When trying to pitch some users on not leaving their passwords on a sticky note on their monitors, I was going to use the example of "you wouldn't tape your house keys to your front door". But before the words could leave my mouth I remembered a past house-call customer who did exactly that. The moral of the story is when planning for security, you either need to make the cost of shortcutting enormous and immediate (think firing w/perp-walk out the door) or more convenient than shortcutting. The first is obviously unpopular with most, and the second is a huge PITA for devs who will also choose convenience by offloading to MFA-in-a-box and shouting "let them eat TOTP apps and choose traffic lights!". Damn, this started as a funny story about security and ended in mild depression... 😭

Hey @Quentin, how many sats to add an option to have all media from selected users be automatically marked as “checked” in v0.7? (It’s me on my own server.) Or is that already a feature in 0.6 and I’m just blind? #bribecoding
