I can’t decide if her voice or her content makes me want to shove sharpened pencils in both my ears. Probably both. I rewatched The Big Short yesterday. Hellen’s video has strong vibes of the final scene where Mark Baum is speaking publicly alongside a Bear Stearns lackey who keeps claiming he’ll buy more of its stock; meanwhile, just during the time Mark Baum was speaking, Bear Stearns’ value dropped 38%. Yellen obfuscates and drones while the economy burns. View quoted note →

#GetOnNostr

I hate the term “meatspace.”

This is getting ridiculous. I got Pandoc so that I could compile the github files into an ePub. But the source files were in asciidoc format, so I went to install AsciiDoctor. That required Ruby, which I installed. (I also took a side trail and looked into using the AsciiDoctor extension with Visual Studio. In the desktop version, the extension search wouldn't find AsciiDoctor, so I switched to the browser-based version, then discovered the browser-based version of AsciiDoctor doesn't support exporting files to PDF or HTML. I switched back to desktop, somehow was able to find and install the extension, but then couldn't find the menu options to export any files.) I finally got Pandoc and AsciiDoctor working in the command line, but when I tried to merge all the asciidoc files together, I got a variety of errors. First I moved some config files around so my command could find them, but the other issues involve hierarchal structure problems in the source files. Wut? When I was searching for a free version of this book and saw the GitHub repository, I thought "Yes! I should be able to get this into an ePub in a couple of clicks." But no. It's been way more complicated than that, and I still haven't succeeded. I don't have time to work through this anymore. Why is this so difficult?!?! Should I just bail? #notaprogrammer #asknostr View quoted note →

#AskNostr This Andreas Antonopoulos ebook about the Lightning Network is available for free in a GitHub repository:

GitHub - lnbook/lnbook: Mastering the Lightning Network (LN)

Mastering the Lightning Network (LN). Contribute to lnbook/lnbook development by creating an account on GitHub.

However, I cannot figure out how to take the repository and compile it into an ePub file. Dropping it into Calibre doesn't work, and I can't find instructions online. This MUST be a simple task, yet I'm frustrated in my attempts to get an answer. Help me, Nostr plebs; you're my only hope.

I’m loving @Damus, but it desperately needs an option to clear the app cache 😳

Well said. I am wary of the tendency to over spiritualize Bitcoin….and yet. As my understanding grows, the spiritual parallels that crop up are astounding. View quoted note →
