Be Digitally Sovereign! The computer movement where we make it easy to run your own Bitcoin/Lightning Node, private Bitcoin point of sale, private cloud, private messaging with voice and video calling, private website hosting, and private Bitcoin buying and selling to name a few all on one device called the Sovran Pro.

Awesome! Yes, Nextcloud is my daily driver running on my Sovran Pro. Bookmark sync, edit office documents, file storage, backup, and anywhere access all open source and fully sovereign!

I think it is important to run your own node. Sovereignty is still very important especially in times like these. Yes, there is cost. However, it does not have to be difficult to do. The Sovran Pro has everything already curated and installed.

Also, we walk everyone through any questions and any router configurations that are needed.

Reach out if you have any questions here https://matrix.to/#/#sovran-systems:anarchyislove.xyz or DM us on NOSTR.

Law enforcement?!! What the fuck kinda term is that? They don't enforce Law!! They are order followers and dogs of their masters who OWN them. If their masters say bark, they bark for a pay check. Nothing but a house slave. They use violence in the name of "statues and codes," which are written to steal real property from innocence men and women! They are scum!

My Contrarian Take on the Recent Samurai Team Arrest

The arrest of the Samurai team should not be viewed as an attack on privacy. I urge you not to rely on any articles published by Coindesk, Forbes, or any other Bitcoin influencer or crypto expert who might be trying to spin their own narrative. Instead, please refer directly to this site: https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/founders-and-ceo-cryptocurrency-mixing-service-arrested-and-charged-money-laundering

The crux of the article highlights, “While offering Samourai as a ‘privacy’ service, the defendants were aware that it was a safe haven for criminals to engage in large-scale money laundering and sanctions evasion. Indeed, as the defendants intended and clearly understood, a substantial portion of the funds processed by Samourai were criminal proceeds, funneled through Samourai for the purpose of concealment.”

Therefore, it is the responsibility of law enforcement to demonstrate that the team was aware of the criminal activities, including large scale money laundering, yet failed to report them. Failing to report known criminal activity is an offense, as illustrated by the case of Charlie Sherem, a prominent Bitcoiner and CEO of BitInstant, who was jailed for knowing about illicit activities and not taking action to report or prevent them.

The team did not simply create a piece of software and share it on GitHub, as Satoshi and the creators of other Bitcoin wallets like Electrum and Blue Wallet have done. Instead, they actively marketed it as a mixing service, earned millions of dollars in profit, and if these actions are proven by the prosecution, they rightfully deserve to face legal consequences.

It's noteworthy that personalities like Michael Saylor and Jack have refrained from commenting on this matter, a stance affirmed by a tweet from Samson Mow.

Equating this issue to an attack on “privacy” and suggesting that everyone becomes a money transmitter is misleading and obscures the real issue.

Furthermore, if you are manufacturing a USB cable that, when plugged into a Visa/Mastercard machine, obscures the user's identity and you advertise this cable as a mixing tool, then you can expect the SDNY to pursue legal action against you.

Stay calm, HODL

Was there a known injured man or woman that served an affidavit stating they were injured by the mixing service?

Looks like it is overheating what does htop show?

Kinda embarrassing (please ignore the bad drawing 😩). I must be a masochist cos I enjoy embarrassing myself on here, sharing bits of myself with you all 🤔. Feels scary but good.

I started drawing again - for fun - and i found some old stuff. Here’s an old film I made when I was at uni yeeears ago.

After months I scrapped the original idea cos I was so frustrated. I lost faith and passion because I kept getting conflicting feedback from my peers and tutors and felt that nobody understood what I was trying to do - my fault. I’m not the best at presenting. I so badly wanted to pull the idea out of my head and hold it in front of them, because they couldn’t see what I could. It made me doubt myself and I ended up scrapping the idea two/one weeks before the deadline and start from scratch.

I completely disappeared from the world, asked my then boyfriend for some space to work and became a ghost to my family. I sat down and decided to just draw how I felt instead of having an actual story. I really wanted to sleep and go outside - touch grass. It ended up paying off, they liked it (god knows why).

It made me realise that even though the people around you may have good intentions, they won’t always see things the way you do, or understand what you’re trying to do. You just have to trust the process, keep the passion, keep moving forwards, trust yourself and why you started doing what you’re doing in the first place.

Am I a pussy for posting this so early/late in the AM on a Sunday when I know hardly anyone will be online? Mayyyybe, but I still posted it 🫂

I never said to anyone I was bullied. I did not leave because of what someone said. I was looking at my own behavior and not liking how I was acting. It’s not because I’m a woman and you’re a man. It is actually possible for someone to have issues going on besides what you see and hear on the internet.

Basically, I never had social media of any kind besides nostr recently. At first, it was such an awesome experience and I truly enjoyed being a part of it, but having access to that many people and that many opinions at once became overwhelming. I started to notice trends and felt pressure to be a part of them.

I think what triggered me was the assumptions and it shouldn’t and it’s not your job to make sure I’m feeling confident with myself. It wasn’t one occasion, but there have been many instances where I have made a joke or said something outlandish and the immediate assumption is to judge and educate me. Contrary to the speculation, I have in depth researched seed oils and actually make an effort to avoid certain ones, but don’t judge myself for missing a label or my patients who cannot afford to change their diet (I know it’s insane to imagine, but I actually have a master’s degree in science and much of that degree was in nutrition).

So why would I care? Why do I let it bother me that my entire life, I have felt automatically placed in a “dumb blonde” box? I still don’t really know. I honestly don’t even know if my own assumption that everyone automatically thinks I’m dumb is even true. I’m a human being and I have flaws. I really don’t mind admitting that. That’s one thing I like about myself, when I see something I don’t like, I’m honest about it and make an effort to change.

Those closest to me know what has been going on in my life offline and I appreciate and adore every one of you. In conclusion, my experience on nostr recently has illumined a new opportunity to grow and work on something I didn’t realize was an issue for me. I just felt like I was all of the sudden interpreting and becoming argumentative over insignificant things and that’s never been who I am. Nostr is not the problem. Men are not the problem. I am. I only have control over how I behave, speak, and interpret life. Lastly, I encourage everyone (myself included) to understand the difference between fact and speculation. There have been many assumptions as to why I left, but the only person who can answer that question with any ounce of objectivity is me.

P.S. I’m fine. I’m smoking a joint in the bathtub reading a book. Please don’t worry about me. Hopefully, I will be back soon when I’m ready.

Much respect! Continue to be kind to yourself, as a good friend of mine says "It looks good on you."
