Linus and the Linux project just shot themselves in the foot, now if you are Russian you cannot participate in the development of the kernel, politics is hateful and should not mix politics and free software projects of vital importance as Linux.

This can be a before and after in Linux.

Long live BSD systems.

“The great thing about technological innovation like #Bitcoin is that regardless of what people are able to do about their local politicians or central banks, they can opt in and use Bitcoin. That is now available to 8 billion people, and that's going to change the world.” - nostr:npub1kvgw6zj55uwvlz5rdqpjm5a5hqah4j3ggza3pfx4umh5k6j00yaqt6v0p2 with nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u

Tonight's background writing music:

Calling self-custody "crypto-anarchism" oversimplifies what Bitcoin accomplishes.

It's about freedom—freedom of speech, property rights, and protecting your right to own what's yours.

We must not dismiss it because freedom isn't promised—it must be fought for and protected.

As I said at the end of the clip, I love Saylor. He's a friend. This is the only free market in the world being free.

In any free market, especially something as revolutionary as Bitcoin, people are going to have different views. That's not just normal, it's necessary.

It's all love from me. My goal is simply to defend the principles that I believe make Bitcoin powerful: freedom and the ability for anyone to engage with it however they see fit.

Saylor thinks you are a paranoid crypto anarchist if you hold your own keys and don't trust the government.

He has always been a bad actor, I will repeat it as many times as necessary.

Since the start of my career I’ve been keeping notes on the technical projects, challenges and solutions I’ve encountered. Some are just one paragraph of things I want to be able to look up later, and some turn out as full 6-part getting started series, like the attached blog series where I’m learning how Kubernetes works, and how to migrate applications and AI workloads to a cluster.

Before GPT and LLM’s, I must have consulted these kind of public blogposts on the open web thousands of times while learning and troubleshooting. If it wasn’t for this kind of public sharing of content, there would be no data for the LLM’s to train on, and the results wouldn’t be anywhere near as good as they produce now. Of course writing is not just about feeding the LLM’s, it is about structuring your thoughts, making a point and developing the skill of getting your point across.

Movements like indieweb, POSSE (publish on your own site, syndicate elsewhere), pkm and people like Bert Hubert, Nicole van der Hoeven Nick Milo and Ernst-Jan Pfauth have been good sources of inspiration on this topic. My “learning in public” is bringing me great benefits, such as improving my writing, starting conversations and getting feedback. If you aren’t already, give writing a shot, even if it’s just a comment, and let me know how it has served you!

Imho we have let the crypto skeptics get inside our heads. I think as a community we should lean into the fact that boost are powered by bitcoin. As a small business, I’m grateful to have support in a hard asset. It’s helped me fight inflation and keep my head above water. Bitcoin is an intelligence test, and I don’t need everyone in the world listening. I want a great audience, not the biggest audience possible. These are things we should lean into as a podcasting community trying to offer an alternative to mainstream crap. Go Podcasting!
