Imagine if you started a blog somewhere and were posting to it for years, gathering an audience, expressing your ideas.
And then one day the service provider just locked your blog behind a login-wall, removing your blog from the digital commons and enclosing is as part of their digital capital.
That'd really suck wouldn't it?
I'm quite keen on the idea of getting banned from twitter for calling someone cis-gendered but I expect if I tried it then my post just wouldn't even get noticed or shown to anyone, the same as everything else I ever posted on Twitter.
And it's breakout day for the pound, recovering fully from the trusterfuck, within fivepence of recovering to the levels it was at on Brexit day.
I guess buyers like the high interest rates, and don't care about the massive crushing levels of debt?
Will it make it another 20% to reach pre-referendum levels?
Is Sunak and Hunt really the end of economic mismanagement?
Craig Wright is such a dick. Dunno why the devs don't just do as he asks and release a version that gives Craig all the coins.
Not like he can force anyone else to run that version.
Lol. Only just realized how to read replies on this thing. Sorry everyone, wasn't deliberately ignoring you.
The World Wide Web? Bittorrent?

Haven't really looked at failing-attempt at bitcoin node replacement. I reboot it now and then when I remember in the hopes of keeping the blockchain up to date but the drive definitely unmounts randomly and so it keeps on failing.
Maybe I should just buy one of Umbrel's new machines. They look nice and will come pre-loaded as a bitcoin node and with an app store to make it a nostr node and a nextcloud node and god knows what else. Looks like they even have a Snort app. Hummm.
Looks pretty.
Nostriches, meet Umbrel Home — the ultimate home server that puts your data back in your hands.
Run your own Nostr relay, Bitcoin node, cloud storage, media/VPN/home automation server, network-wide adblocker, and 100s of self-hosted apps — all in your home.
Umbrel Home is a palm-sized powerhouse with a 2.9GHz quad-core Intel CPU, 2TB NVMe SSD, 16GB dual-channel RAM, and just 10 watts of power consumption (TDP).
We built Umbrel Home from scratch, addressing all the Raspberry Pi-based home server limitations, and surpassing them in all aspects: up to 3x faster CPU, 6.5x faster SSD speeds, 2x more RAM, and an even smaller form-factor. No more corrupted microSD cards, and no manual assembly and setup.
We’re happy to share that our first batch's production is complete, and we have limited stock ready.
Worldwide shipping begins next month, June 2023!

Looks like nice work. Congrats.
Our newest #short #film is released! It's called "Payment".
Yatra tries to collect some data from an alien planet, but they still use central banking so he ends up in a car-chase arguing about the meaning of money!
You can watch it in normal framed flat-screen, or in full 360 degree stereo-vision #vr

My new #bitcoin node finally reached 100% synced overnight. It's taken six months and one hard-drive replacement to get synched.
The blocks are too big!
Need to set up Lightning next. My old node helped route like 1 transaction per year. Need to somehow figure out better places to make channels to in order to build a more useful node in the network.
Dunno how to do that currently. Anyone got any advice?
There’s only one #bitcoin team and we just won the league

Nice one. One down, was it seven to go? Keep on it!
Oh, perhaps it's still quite terrible after all.
Found at least three different public-keys for Ben Arc, and the search function here returns zero results for all of them.
Hummm.
Also accidentally boosted looking for thread button here. Ooops.
Ah, seems like Snort isn't terrible like all the other Nostr clients I've looked at so far.
Nice. Maybe this identity will even stick then.

How to do an #introduction here? I guess you can look at my Musk.Social cartoon:
