The only way Florida follows through with abolishing vax mandates and property taxes is if sea levels really are rising. No US state can be allowed that much personal freedom ๐Ÿคฃ Ep 137 Weekly Roundup: Florida could Abolish Property Tax #peterStOngePodcast

Either my relays are seriously misconfigured or Primal has a hype machine that rivals Taylor Swift's. I don't want to trash one of the few companies that has stepped up and tried to reverse the damage done by the great custodial wallet rugpull of 23/24 but it's like a burr under the saddle that my consistently least reliable nostr client is the one for which I have a paid subscription. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ View quoted note โ†’

Crazy that Strategy managed to source $47B to buy Bitcoin but most of my friends and family won't even set aside the < $300 bargain price of an equal distribution share of the total supply. View quoted note โ†’

I can't imagine being a married man in a Celsius-dominant country. "OMG it's freezing! What's the thermostat set on?" "21. Want me to raise it to 22?" "Oh God no, 22 is too warm! Make it 21.5" ๐Ÿคฃ View quoted note โ†’

Due to bandwidth issues and a gracious friend with much faster internet, it looks like most interactions with my StartOS server will be remote going forward. Is it advisable (or even possible) to permanently dismiss that warning in Tor browser about StartOS's self-signed certificate, or should I go back to using http instead of https?

There's a weird comfort in having to switch to my wallet app to zap instead of it being handled automatically by the client. Feels more real.

What ever happened to the FairUse4WM guy who made the tool that allowed you to play DRMd WMA tracks on your iPod? ๐Ÿซก

You ever start to suspect that for every minute of time the internet saves you in efficiency gains, it turns around and steals two minutes from you in the form of updates and troubleshooting? ๐Ÿง

Trying to make a personal archive of all 365 episodes (a full year) of the Lifespring! One Year Bible podcast. The problem is Podcast Index only links to the 50 newest episodes and Steve's website seems to be broken. Now I have to download missing episodes in Podcast Addict, drill into its mysteriously-named downloads folder [Android/data/com.bambuna.podcastaddict/files/podcast] (thanks for the help, Brave AI), share the mp3 into Telegram's 'Saved Messages' chat, save from there to my laptop's downloads folder, then fix the filename after Telegram modified it. The worst part is I already downloaded all of these episodes once before when I listened to them as new uploads. It's like the entire internet and every modern device that interacts with it has been redesigned to keep us dependent on somebody else's stupid cloud.

Why do these podcast apps (or Android OS - unsure who to blame) hide the actual mp3 downloads folder like it's the dirty movie section of the video rental store? If I wanted to be treated like a baby I would have bought an iPhone. Does Graphene fix this?

Zechariah 8:16-17 NIV 16 These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts; 17 do not plot evil against each other, and do not love to swear falsely. I hate all this,โ€ declares the Lord. ERV 16 But you must do this: Tell the truth to your neighbors. When you make decisions in your cities, be fair and do what is right. Do what brings peace. 17 Donโ€™t make secret plans to hurt your neighbors. Donโ€™t make false promises. You must not enjoy doing these things, because I hate them!โ€ This is what the Lord said. KJV 16 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: 17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the Lord.

If you could hide Bitcoin blocks inside TikTok videos, I bet a full node IBD would take less than a day. Mofos can binge watch half a season of a Netflix series in HD in the time it takes my node to download 20K blocks. ๐Ÿคฌ
