It’s finally time to say goodbye to Chapter 4 of my evolving one-day-it-will-be-a-real-studio setup. After the crawlspace became a dried-in concrete basement, I was able to put together a very rough, but functional setup that was good for audio and video. It let me get a taste of what the finished product may enable. But yesterday we confirmed that the plumbers will be coming in to rework the entire house plumbing, and lift it up between the joists so we have as much head room downstairs as possible. And for the downstairs plumbing we have to drill a couple of big sections out of the slab. Which means it’s about to become a disaster, and everything not in a box needs to be broken down, packed up, and moved out. So last night, in the rain and while my son was sleeping, I silently began shutting down my entire setup, and even carried my whole desk through the door in the dark without making a sound (I think things are twice as heavy if you are silent while carrying it) My whole networking system is currently out of operation: My raspberry pi, my Umbrel, My Start9, GLADOS (my Ai Linux machine), my big ass switch, and my downstairs miner are out of commission. In fact I have tried to zap 3 times today and keep forgetting that @ZEUS is connected to my @Start9 so it starts spinning and after a second I remember,” you idiot your node is down, you can’t zap.” 🤣 This was a really cool setup, but it’s time to finish the basement and finally, FINALLY start putting together the real studio and workshop combo, and getting the first fully realized, permanent home for all of my shows and work. Partly sad, but also really exciting. It’s closer every day… (Added pictures of what this looked like before too)

Congrats to whoever finally got the 150k sats!! I had given all 12 words and it actually sat there for another week or more before someone finally got it! 🤣 FYI if you pay attention to the ads on Bitcoin Audible, The Pear Report, and Ai Unchained, you might just hear some seed words that can win you some sats. 😍 We will be starting it up again so keep an ear out. Gonna make it a little more of a puzzle next time I think 😘 @nunchuk_wallet @coinkite #coldcard #bitcoin #grownostr

This was one of the first things we discussed on Ai Unchained, the walls are only going to keep coming up. The old web is ceasing to be “open.” They are “solving” the trust problem with identity, KYC, account only access, and turning their platforms into silos. This is why I think a Web of Trust model is going to be hugely important, and i think #Nostr will increasingly be one of a shrinking number of places on the web that remain truly open.

That really is pretty wild View quoted note →

There are literally people who are SO entitled that they *demand* others to build them an open source, completely free, fast, clean, perfect UX set of software and clients that will grant them the ability to be their own bank, own their identity, protect their privacy, encrypt all of their communication, be protected from tyrants, and have true digital freedom… and they will literally bitch if they ever have to spend some money to get these things or when something doesn’t load quickly enough. 🙃 View quoted note →

Almost every single time I took at face value and repeated what the corporate media said, I ended up embarrassed how untrue or gaslighting it was with just a cursory examination. It’s absolutely incredible to me how many people *live* by this and don’t even comprehend that they’ve never verified anything. When you call them out, they literally say “but this person said it! You can’t handle facts.” Perfect Dunning Kruger, they are too stupid to even know that they are incapable of genuine thought and their entire worldview is an appeal to authority.
