Its even easier to spend it to merchants that accept it. Across borders. In a shady middle of the night nostr deal. Or just a BTC Pay invoice. You'll probably get a handwritten note and some stickers too. View quoted note →

I've schizophrenically compartmentalized my new phone into three user profiles with differing permissions and purposes.

While I'm migrating around my current two phone set up, one with my legacy bullshit I still need, and one with just what I want. It's pretty cool that both Citrine intalls work as an individual local relay with the same port, without me having to adjust anything on @Amethyst in my relay settings. I've got a few other nostr clients and apps that give me a lot of optionality but @greenart7c3 and @Vitor Pamplona drive a hard bargain for Android users.

I'm neither shaken, nor stirred.

Going through old photos. Solid walk that day I may or may not have been on psylocibes.

I'm noticing way less crashes, bugs, lag and general jitters from Amethyst on an old pixel 7a with Graphene installed. Honestly all the nostr apps I've decided to bring over to it seem to function more reliably. Searches still suck, but interesting.

The day after.

The watchers.

The irony is I've got better service coverage on a silent.link esim than I do with Verizon I pay more for even when it isn't down for a day.

So if Fabio got hit in the face with a seagull on a roller coaster where does this lead? View quoted note →

I welcome clunkier keyboards fore they make my typos butter.

Not going to lie I was pretty sure I was too chudlike to manage switching to GrapheneOS, but I've got to say, I feel refreshed and cleansed. Also way less clunky than I thought it would be, pretty snappy. @Zapstore and Obtanium FTW. I'm late to the party but my whole journey has been a gradual concession to making things as difficult and dorky as possible in my digital realm.

Finally got around to beginning the move over to GrapheneOS. Restarting with just the stuff I want, silent.link signal and simplex. Keeping the old phone as a trash heap for the spam calls and regular garbage in garbage out.

Just rewatched Army of Darkness. Hundreds of people on screen, choreographed fights, enormous set design, stop motion, pyrotechnics, hundreds of props and puppets, special effects artist mastery, stunt men, latex, slapstick comedy, Bruce Campbell, guys on fire, skeletons, great musical score, comedy, full commitment to the bullshit, seven Bruce Campbells fighting one Bruce Campbell Charlie Chaps meets the stooges style, smooth runtime of about 80 minutes... $13 million dollars in 1992. Even in terms of inflation this shit still rules. And the amount of effort to make it a thing is monumental. And it gives no regards to your understanding for the lore of the prior two movies because it doesn't even care. There's no "message" to be had. It's pure unrivaled spectacle. You get on the ride and enjoy it or you lose out. They don't make bullshit like they used to.

Spent all day at work wondering why my node went offline and my miners switched to their fallback pools, ruling out a power outage. Finally got home and it wouldn't turn on. Turns out the cats must've been rough housing behind the TV and managed to unplug just my node. Crisis averted.
