I don't know what the craziest part of this story is:

- that meme coins might be the key to investigative journalism

- that meme coins might be the next best tool for surveillance

- that a Chinese guy if pretending to be Australian and living in an English Tudor Revival mansion, in Shanghai

- that he's pulling it off in plain view

To do...

[x] fix lawnmower

Working on a snow thrower in the July heat? Argh!

You're right to be skeptical on the 'net. Nostr doesn't have any verification per se, most folks here are rather anti-KYC and privacy-centric. One thing nostr stives for is "web of trust" or WoT. There's no official definition of it, but basically it's people who have been around, interacted, maybe know others in real life, offer value, etc. There's no standard, but I like the coracle.social use of it. If you got to https://coracle.social and login, you see a circle by your name a hover over to see a WoT trust. I see you have a WoT of 1, which makes sense because you're new and that's fine. Stick around, interact, ask questions, etc, it'll rise. That score gives a simple, but imperfect, glance at a user. (Still doesn't tell you m/f though!)

I just watched a YouTube video to help me with lawnmower repair. I've gotta say, I get a kick out of Canadians.

To me, it's a mix of British wry humor and American wild west. Pretty good mix.

Basically the NASCAR saying "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'."

Hadn't heard of it. Give a thumbs up or down when done. Westerns are great.

My honest take: seems to me that you're a 100% woman who thinks and talks like a man. Both alluring and terrifying to men.

(I hope that's not offensive, not intended to be.)

Sorry you're dealing with this. Tis stinky.

Dealing with VPSs is a hassle and is discouraging. It' s time to quit on that and to work on something less frustrating: broken lawnmowers and clogged carburetors.

If you ain't lyin', you ain't tryin'.

Very solid right there.

I want a novel-to-movie AI generator sooner rather than later.

Input text of the novel, AI outputs a movie version.

Is the word "coldplay" going to replace "dox"?

Instead of, "You got doxxed," it'll be, "You

got coldplayed."

I blame the pigeon postal worker union.

Somehow I simultaneously have a broken bolt on a snow thrower carburetor (requiring a whole new carb) and a broken bolt holding a lawnmower gas tank (requiring removal of the carb).

They just don't make bolts like they used to.

Two weeks after berries everywhere, a scouted out mulberry tree now has zero. What's up with that? 😞

Never come across that before (I pay zero attention to him), but it might be the weirdest thing I've ever seen. And how come no one is masking?

For me it's a sailboat, but it's real. ⛵️

Bitchatr or Bitchatm you pick. It would just be fun to Bitchat.

Bitchatr = bitchat + reticulum

I went to the public library today to get a specific book. The fiction section has about 8 shelves, so, 16 rows. There is exactly one person in fiction, and, of course, she is standing in front of the book that I want. My book is belt level directly in front of her. The woman is scanning titles at eye level and up. My wife and I stop, each of us on one side of the woman, obviously there, obviously eyeballing a certain book directly ahead. Does she get a hint? Does she move? Of course not. She stands and scans. We are unacknowledged.

I think about reaching into the breech and grabbing the book, no harm done, but don't. "Excuse me," my wife says. No response. "Excuse me," my wife repeats and reaches in to quickly fetch out the book. The woman never looked at us, replied, or anything. Maybe she was deaf, maybe mad at us for for being inbher space, possibly standing her ground as she was here first by golly!, maybe mentally challenged. Still, weird. And with 16 rows! Of course she's there!

Bridging around

I've been playing around with bridges to and from various places: (1) the Nostr protocol, (2) the Hive blockchain, and (3) Mastodon. And, I guess we could also throw in (4) the Hive-Engine layer 2 sidechain of Hive.

It's intrigued me that these unrelated things can be linked up in an interactive manner. Here's ho...

I biked to the library today and locked my bike (there was a sign reminding to do that). Then I was biking to Walmart and thought I should lock it there and also take the headlight in. I looked down and my headlight was gone...stolen while I was in the library. Pretty stinky.

Here's my photo ...

There used to be a Mastodon bridge, then there wasn't. I begged for someone to build a new one. No takers. So...

I hacked together "Nostrdon". What you post on Nostr gets auto-bridged to Mastodon. It's basic, but working.

See: https://github.com/crrdlx/nostrdon

#nostr #mastodon

Explains why I feel a bit queasy some days.

Hmm. And this is by the guy who was criticizing nostr? Seems odd.

Nostr devs ship things so fast when they lock in. Nostr has the best devs, probably the best devs ever.

Yesterday my wife and I drove two hours to go to an ebike shop where she bought a bike a few years ago. The bike has been good, for the most part, but the battery and electronic issues have been a headache.

1. The battery went kaput about 2 years ago. We take it back, it was still under warranty so they replaced it. Okay.

2. Happens a second time. It was a circuitry issue that "happens sometimes, rarely, but sometimes." After fussing, they replace it.

3. My wife had a total tune-up. On the first ride, and error code emerges, the bike goes dead.

Yesterday, back once again. They swear the battery is okay (I have my doubts) but $100 for them to check the codes and such. Ridiculous!

We did get a pretty late afternoon at a park on the way home, so all is good.

Mining !HBIT here.

How much lost dev time is caused by browser cache false positives or false negatives? I'm guessing...a lot.

Well, I really haven't looked enough to figure it out. Seems they complain about X a lot, which seems to be a main purpose for them. I will say that I find Bluesky works really well. Mastodon seems weird in how it works. To be fair, that can also be said about Nostr. :)

So the botanists say. Reminds me of a saying I heard, "Knowlege is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing to not put it in a fruit salad."

8.062 billion people multiplied by 52 teeth per person (20 children teeth plus 32 adult teeth) equals 419,224,000,000 teeth (419 billion).

Since teeth can "live on" after a person dies, we could go all-time human teeth, so estimated 117 B people have lived, times 52 teeth equals 6.084e+12 (or 6,084,000,000,000 which is 6.084 trillion).

So, there are way more teeth than bitcoin.

If you want to go all in and call a satoshi "a bitcoin", then the teethers win and teeth are more scarce. There are 2.1 quadrillion sats. So, there are more sats/bitcoins than teeth.

I will say this, teeth are non-fungible...just ask my dentist who has been making good money working on me and my wife.
