“Leak: EU governments double down on penalising privacy-friendly and encrypted messaging services with chat control bulk scanning orders”
Badbadbadbadbad, #EU #chatcontrol not looking good (not that it could ever look good)
Being a Bitcoiner is a bit exactly like being an Audiophile.
Some of us just love music; others love arguing about the best equipment and “the right way” to do everything and have strange fetishes for specific brands of cap and gold plated everything and hate on others for just having fun - while normies still think we’re all a bit mad but we’re sure they’ll feel liberated when they finally get it 😂
iPod gang
You can put like 500GB/1TB in these puppies and get like a week or more of battery live now with mods!
Though I am expecting pain and a sync rugpull in a few years moving to a new Mac 😂
Rather randomly, I’ve recently picked up an old #iPod classic 5th gen and am loving it so far.
(despite the upgrade to use SD card storage being way harder than it’s supposed to be on this cursed iPod 🤣)
iPods are low time preference. Streaming is just somebody else’s music. Listening to a podcast on an iPod is strangely a more engaging experience, and interruption free - you can’t just check Twitter/Nostr/get a call.
A related note, I can’t find an existing solution for “buy my whole music library” which is weird because I want to give someone money and they’re making it hard 🤷♂️
Also Apple Music is a bit jank with importing MP3s - it works, but 50/50 whether it matches to the streaming version of the album you already had (yay) or creates duplicates (not yay)
$1B ‘valuation’ with 350k paid users and ~$600k revenue is a hilariously high PE ratio of what, 1666x?! And people think Tesla is crazy overpriced at a meagre PE of 80x ish

🙋♂️ Hoffmann is pretty great
(Though I’ll enjoy a Gregg’s coffee too given how cheap it is)
Huh? 99% of 2FA setups include a set of backup codes that you should write down. I'm not sure copying/saving the QR is a great idea... IIRC there's also at-least one 2FA I saw where the precise time you set it up was imporant, i.e. if you re-scanned the QR tomorrow the codes were completely different
This does sound pretty insane, though the counterfactual "what would have been the 'criminal funds generated annually' had €0 been spent on compliance instead of €144Bn" is worth thinking about (that which is unseen) -- but the bar is still very high, if expenditure is €144Bn then the crime it prevented would have to be on the order of €1Tn to be merely ~10% complicance loss... which is a lot of 'crime'.
I am currently obsessed with Radicle and trying to shill it to anyone that’ll listen 🤣
Also https://radicle.xyz
I can see why it doesn’t, similarly AFAIK Mutiny doesn’t, because you don’t really need them for the use case of end-user spending wallets on a phone. But they are kinda required for Nostr Zaps to work properly
I took a look a few weeks ago when it was WIP, but not more recently. Assume they’ve not found a workaround for description hashes? (Pretty sure that’s not possible? 🤔)
Increasingly thinking “on top of Nostr” isn’t a good idea, Radicle’s protocol seems very well thought out.
Feels like adding Nostr would be unnecessary mess - storing everything (code, issues, PRs, identity/ownership *in* git itself is kinda genius)
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m I seriously think you should look at radicle.
(Only slightly butthurt that it’s ED25519 not the clearly superior bestest curve Secp256k1 😂)
Checking out https://radicle.xyz, a P2P Git thingy -- I really like what I'm seeing... It's not Nostr but I'm not sure it would actually be better if it was. Supports DIDs so `did:btc:...` (Orange) and `did:key:` for Secp256k1 keys (bitcoin and nostr) would work, they're just not implemented (yet 😏)
Nostr-based decentralised git things also progressing (https://gitworkshop.dev/ and probably others?), which is great, beacuse IMO there's so much complacency around GitHub as the one big centralised repository for all open-source software just continuing to work fine forever.

💯 -- though can be a bit of a pain when they're all 99 but not 100% compatible! Gossip (https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip) is a great one to have even if you use others more often, as it can save you from some other client nuking your follows as it only publishes list changes when you ask it to
Coming soon ™️ https://github.com/AngusP/phoenixd-lnurl/pull/11
As far as I’m aware the code works, but Phoenixd doesn’t like the really big invoice descriptions it makes so waiting on a fix for that.
Will also look at mutiny-server as an option when/if that’s shipped (AFAIK it’s basically the same idea) https://github.com/AngusP/phoenixd-lnurl/issues/12
