pv fam 🤙🌅 i'm committed to making this week one of my best of thr year by creating far more than i consume, paddleboarding the lake, and complimenting more random strangers i will also be petting the neighbor's cat in the morning and heading to Bitcoin Commons on thursday to watch Bitstein + Pierre talk shop wish me luck 🫡 and remember to have fun out there

finally got my subscribe function working 🫠 self-hosted Ghost blogs require third party SMTP tokens for you to use the newsletter functionality, and try to convenience you into signing up for the fairly expensive Mailgun service to do it turns out i was able to use my existing (paid) Proton account instead by asking nicely. they haven't enabled SMTP tokens for all users yet. anyway, consider subscribing ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

"The man who focuses on efforts and who stresses his downward authority is a subordinate no matter how exalted his title and rank.

He holds himself accountable for the performance of the whole." —Peter Drucker, from The Effective Executive this book still slaps #bookstr
