My old QNAP NAS device died on me and corrupted the harddrives in the process. As a result, the new QNAP device I've bought won't load the these drives.
A data recovery company is now working on my drives, and their services cost 3x the new device price.
Muh personal cloud. Muh sovereignty.
One of the Russian memes for past few months was "Harris is our candidate!" Not for the reasons you described, but out of pragmaticism: a weaker America is good for Russia.
In reality, Soros-type communists have been trying to do the same to Russia what they were doing do the US, and Putin has been kicking them out slowly but surely for 25 years now.
“Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure. They’re huge and abstract. And they’re very beautiful.”

What’s the yummy-looking dipping sauce on the picture? Hollandaise?
He has no understanding of Bitcoin and has only talked about to get more votes?
All US companies have suddenly understood they were wrong. Not.
It’s just the wind of change, and the USA asset has fallen back into the other clan’s hands.

Might dig up my old articles (the ones I find less cringey) and post them on Nostr, back-dated.
I remember writing (or podcasting?) about something like that: you cannot be completely free in the material world because your are always bound by something that fully depends on your senses; freedom is only possible within.

Freedom or Autonomy.
Which way?
In my personal journey away from freedom maximalism, I came to realize that freedom is not the right thing to prioritize or aspire to.
Like happiness, it’s a state we all value, but it’s not a purposeful end in itself. Freedom, much like happiness, is a byproduct—you don’t achieve it by chasing it directly. And just as happiness is more meaningful when earned, so too is freedom (and idea that likely already resonate with many of you).
What you may not have considered, however, is that freedom, like happiness, is a value not a vitrue. Values differ from virtues in that the former are passive while the latter are active.
The former are things you experience when you act in accordance with the latter. You experience happiness through making progress, just as you experience freedom through making choices (whether that choice is to take ownership and responsibility, or to let go and surrender).
This understanding led me to a deeper realization: freedom itself is almost a passive state, while agency and responsibility are active forces. You may value freedom, but attaining it requires deliberate action—action that demands responsibility and ownership.
This is where autonomy comes into the picture. Autonomy is conceptually a blend of freedom and responsibility. It is the ability (and freedom) to choose, combined with the courage (and responsibility) to own the consequences of those choices.

(Would post on Nostr but highlighter won’t work 🙁)
I’ve had problems with Highlighter, too. nostr:npub1048qg5p6kfnpth2l98kq3dffg097tutm4npsz2exygx25ge2k9xqf5x3nf works well, try it.
True story. Even some apps upon sign up send an OTP straight to WhatsApp with no sms support at all.

What exactly is private data in this case? #AskNostr

Definitely tasty! Nice and soft.
But the advantage of proper jerky is that it can be stored for a long time because it’s dehydrated. The biltong package says it’s good only for a month.
I learned about biltong just two days ago, and now I’m trying some. #foodstr
The revenue split in nostr:npub1048qg5p6kfnpth2l98kq3dffg097tutm4npsz2exygx25ge2k9xqf5x3nf is an interesting feature. I guess it’s supposed to amplify the message by incentivizing those who are included in the revenue share scheme to distribute it far and wide.
Now, are they somehow notified that they’ve been included in such a scheme?

I may try this when I get my @umbrel

Thanks, I’ll check it out, though I’ve prepaid Kagi for a whole year.
