I've been using an excel spreadsheet to track my personal finances for the last 5-6years and thanks to Cursor and nostr that is going by the wayside. This weekend I built the baseline for a personal finances tracking application that puts all my data into replaceable event kinds and stores them on a self hosted NIP42 auth with npub whitelisted relay. All data encrypted with NIP44. I built an android app and a Linux .deb app that both retrieve the data from the relay and present it to me and let me edit and add to it on either platform. Excel is great but you're trapped by Microsoft and stuck to a computer (also microsoft office tools are now another fucking subscription) and the Mint type tools don't handle bitcoin transactions and tracking. Im sick of having 80 fucking apps just to track my finances and I'm sick of letting companies mine my financial data to sell me ads. Nostr, AI, and self hosting is the future and the future is now. This shit is magical.

HYPE. View quoted note →

There's a bunch of people who sold bitty to try and buy back at 60k. Let's see if that works out for them. Hint: it usually doesn't.

Its easy to be a doomer pessimist. Visualize a future worth getting to and attack each day to get to that future. Fuck blackpill doomerism.

Experts saying that banning Blackstone won't help the housing crisis really makes me think that banning Blackstone will help the housing crisis.

Defense contractors should not be able produce shitty products that are over budget and way behind schedule with taxpayer money, then turn around and buy back their shares and push out huge dividends, all while compensating their executives with 10's of millions of dollars. Any moron complaining that reigning in that tomfoolery is somehow aGaiNsT cApiTaLisM doesn't understand capitalism. If these companies were held to the same standard as most companies in the non governemental/private sector were they would have gone out of business many moons ago.

I know the libs will find some way to freak out about this new food pyramid, and it ain't perfect, but it's way better than that lobbyist produced peice of shit that we've been using for the last 50+ years.

America's New Dietary Guidelines

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans reset U.S. nutrition policy by restoring science, common sense, and real food as the foundation of national he...

Every high school senior in the United States of America should be required to read The Gulag Archipelago. This communist bullshit has to stop. Macarthyism 2.0.

The US should remove all military personnel and hardware from Europe. Those ungreatful pricks can fend for themselves.

Leftists are so deranged that they would gladly welcome a Chinese invasion of the United States to "save" them from Trump.

One thing I never see from the youtube "prepper" community is an emphasis on having your own tools. Being able to build and fix things yourself is one of the most important life skills to have. Basic power, woodworking, plumbing and electrical tools along with books and general knowledge on those subjects will pay unbelievable dividends. After growing up on a working farm that made barely enough money to get by most years, it's hard to emphasize how important basic DIY/fix-it skills are.

All the gold and silver bugs should be wary of dancing on bitcoins grave, celebrating too early has been known to lead to disappointment.

Merry Christmas!

This is a joke of a bill. Hopefully entities like BPI will come out and strongly oppose it. No capital gains tax on the best money. Period.

US Lawmakers Propose PARITY Act to Overhaul Crypto Tax Regulations

I actually really like the Claude by Anthropic TV commercial.

All this quantum nonsense has picked up since big players have started to accumulate BTC in size. CRQC are a decade or more away, if it ever happens at all. This narrative is being used to scare the plebs out of holding BTC. People like Luke Grommen, who many "bitcoiners" trust, are spreading this fear for literally no reason.

The reflexive reaction of older conservative influencers to call anyone who has questions about the Israeli gvt an antisemite is quite something to behold. Boomers are such good little robots for the state.

The bottom is most definitely not in lol. Stack time.

Anyone bought any airtube headphones? Any brand suggestions? #asknostr
