So I've got a few videos that I'm going to do Nostr exclusive and/or release here first.

This first one is about living nomadically. This is a topic I'm very interested in and I really want to learn more about it. For a while I've been listening to Nomad Capitalist but it's hard to parse through everything he's done.

My key takeaways from him are:

1. The trifecta. Live in three places.

2. Reduce taxes however you can.

3. Pick places you can live.

I don't know how I'm going to do that with a family in one of the highest taxed countries in the world but I'll be damned if I don't try.

You can just repost things! Good luck, hope this works out - looking forward to hearing about the journey.

Getting ready to kickstart my #reading in 2026. Here are the five #books I'm starting the year with > https://briangreen.net/reading#2026

Yes, both - but oddly never in unison! Thank you!

I equipped my kids with tiny Sabrent Nano 1TB SSDs that are amazing for the price and size https://amzn.to/3Ls5swl

Nice. We are on similar paths/journeys. I am trying to consolidate down as small as possible vs. just continue to build and store. I'm also looking for elegant solutions for device/storage encryption without the need for software installation. Bitlocker, Picocrypt, and Veracrypt are what I'm currently playing with.

My hometown University developed the world's first 5D eternity memory crystal - capable of surviving for billions of years. The crystal storage allows unprecedented properties including 360 TB/disc data capacity, thermal stability up to 1,000°C and virtually unlimited lifetime at room temperature (13.8 billion years). #data #storage #backups

aren't those 50GB discs? How on earth are you making that scalable?

I've almost entirely de-Google myself and my family. It's been a lot of additional work and effort to change the minds and behaviors of my kids, but we're almost there. Old habits die hard (for me) so multiple offline geolocated backups are still a thing.

Didn't read as many #books in 2025 as previous years, had some significant life interruptions. Hoping to do much more reading in 2026! Here's my #reading list for anyone interested > https://briangreen.net/reading#2025

Ha! I recently discovered "Shoe glue". Way better and longer lasting than super glue and designed to have some flexibility and not crack like super glue can. Just sayin - if you're a shoe fixer!

Doing end of month incremental backups to multiple drives as usual. Flipped over this old gal to find a sticker I forgot I'd put there! #coffee #knives #backups #robocopy #encryption

Living the olive drab dream.

Heck yeah! I've never taken the time to do this, always wanted to.

Over priced, over hyped, and heavy. But I have several that have seen thousands of miles of wear and tear and they're still working. They get better with age and multiple washes/scrubs. The SCARS warrantee is not what it used to be (shame).

My daily carry now is a custom-made pack from Non-Attrib Designs (https://nonattributed.com/). Low viz, more discrete, hi-tech modern materials. #backpack #travel #downrange #redteams

I'm not a #coffee snob or gadget nerd (honest), but I love everything about my Stagg gooseneck kettle. If you don't have an electric kettle or have never used a gooseneck kettle - you're missing out. Coffee made with water at the correct temperature (not boiling) is life changing, no exaggeration!

#Coffee people - firstly, 🫡 GM. Question: do you brush your teeth in the morning before you drink your coffee, after coffee, or both? #asknostr

Silicone wedding rings aren't just cool, they're smart. This is what happens when your metal wedding band gets caught by a machine at high speed - it's called "de-gloving" and it's pretty nasty! So, take off your wedding band, sell it, buy #bitcoin, get a $8 silicone ring and keep your finger. #psa #medic

A better note taking app than Obsidian IMHO. End-to-end encryption. Free real-time sync across devices and platforms. Fully offline/local capable.

I was laid off work in July, one of thousands. Took me until October to get a new gig. During that time I felt a bit like this. I tried to embrace the freedom, got a lot of household projects done.

GM my #coffeechain frens. Keep stacking and mining those sats, be kind to each other, and stay safe out there. But first, #coffee!

I thought you were just (suddenly and very publicly) being an ass man.

GM my #coffeechain frens. Eggs and toast, let’s go! Keep stacking and mining those sats, be kind to each other, and stay safe out there.
