What's the daily wisdom book?

Good Friday.

"Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures", 1 Corinthians 15.

Insightful article.

I subscribed as it's the kind of substack I would be writing if I was more disciplined and courageous.

Kanye's average tweet would fit right in here... one of his personalities may already be among us.

Ken Honda say "money is always happiest when it flows towards bitcoin".

US always goes bonkers during election year. It's a curiosity for those of us looking in from the Rest of The World. 😉

Is the problem common across NUCs too? I'm looking at trigkey as affordable alternative to run next node.

I'm not a miner, I'm a hash provider 😇

Odell's trust capital dropped a bit today.

Venture capital incentives aren't always aligned with cypherpunk values. Interesting to see how this plays out, blue check, coca-cola, and all.

Slay your heroes.

Don't get bamboozled.

Now that's more like it.

Hi Pablo.

Quick feedback.

Logged on to look around.

Max's content is pretty much all I can see. Anyone else showcasing there or is everyone hiding in their backstage, waiting for me to guess if their content is amazing?

Also, like Hotel California, I checked in with alby extension and now I can't log out.

I read this a couple of days ago, which got me thinking about what the relays are sitting on

But otherwise, yeah we're in agreement... your note got me thinking about archiving good and bad.

I'm still annoyed about the wayback machine though... could be my ticket to the gulag 😳

It came round really quickly this year... like I barely got started with a bit of withdrawal here and there for lent.

What I did learn about myself in this season is that 'nostr', being the eclectic mix of notes, memes, videos, articles, long form, podcasts, and adjacent v4v projects... both the content, and the emergent protocol, the arguments for and against different developments... man, this whole thing consumed my attention more aggressively than the algorithms did previously on big tech.

I know it's because it's wholesome and interesting, and exciting to be part of something new, history in the making, tell the grandkids you were there and all that, but... between this and the 'gpt circus' going on at the fiat mines, my attention looks like the meme where they guy's face is fried.

Today I started outlining a thought piece about the death and ressurection, in the hope of lifting my attention to higher things.

Notes and other stuff will pass away but the word of the Lord endures forever.

Selah.

Bruh april fools is monday not today

Yes I use a funny nym for the main account, a photo of a painting I took while travelling in Transylvannia 🧛‍♂️ ... and I use my company logo for the second profile, with bright colours... makes it really easy to know where I'm at.

How are you getting on with #grapheneOS? I'm into my third year now, mostly happy, and continue to tweak and harden, but just wish they'd hurry up with vanadium improvements so the youtube ads disappear for good. I used newpipe separately for videos but sometimes you get a link, and watch it lazily from the browser, and then - bam - the add interrupts your flow... and you think 'why did I uninstall Brave and try to go native again?

😅

This is quite deep.

We got annoyed with xitter because they cancelled our accounts, deleting everything in one go, when we weren't prepared with a back up. We also got annoyed with the hall monitors on xitter, because they started taking screenshots of our content 'as evidence' or got our profiles onto the radar of the wayback machine.

Here we don't have algorithms for engagement farming, we enjoy self-expression, and occasionally we banter with others of like mind. Most of our notes are shitposts and chatter, like writing little notes in class and passing them round. If there's an occasional deep thought, we can capture this and broadcast it elsewhere, in a seemingly more permanent format, for example long form.

I'd like to think that relays or other servers are motivated to archive long form, and don't easily forget or lose these more intentional works during the nukenings, and that may become the case. Other protocols like IPFS were all about this, decentralised storage of files and other content for the long term.

But what are these relays anyway? Services running in the cloud, ultimately managed by a few 'centralized' providers (e.g. cloudflare) that could flush the content or make it disappear. Yes, we hope there are copies out there that would resurface, but honestly that's needle in a haystack if you're not keeping a record of the ID for every note you send... and you don't have your own back up.

That's my amateur perspective, I haven't started messing around with relays yet. But in the end, if you want something archiving, and you think it's worthwhile the effort of archiving it for posterity, you'd best be doing it yourself.

Otherwise, it's okay that stuff is lost and forgotten, it's actually really okay... we have a right to be forgotten, and in that forgetting, we have room to grow.

"Larry Fink is a Bitcoiner".

Man, that hit hard, gets you to think things through again from first principles.

Or should that be 'fink fings frew'?
