nostr:npub107ru69ty2jtnxp7vlqsyze35hylv8ngf4wjedggs9kf6juphw4ksq9zpem looked me straight in the eyes today and said:
“Dad, why do you pay taxes if the government just prints money out of thin air?”
I’m so proud he asked the question, but what should I tell him?
I'd say the truth, but not radicalized. I think freedom can be described without ridiculing or judging the other side. That freedom doesn't need propaganda. So I would say that taxes are forced by violence, but I would also add that the people pushing for taxes are not necessarily evil, they just think that violence and a little bit of unfreedom is needed to run society, while there are also people (us) who think that it can be done without violence and with full freedom, and these two groups are now arguing a little bit about how it will be and it is not quite clear yet. If the non-violent and free way is really as good as we think, there will be no need to defend it :). An unvarnished description of reality will suffice. Maybe. Dont know , jist an idea :).
I stopped when we left Czech Republic. Not possible during traveling :). We would have to have bigger fridge and much more money. But I have to say I sometimes miss those days full of energy and without occasional brain fog. But if I have to decide between my lifestyle and my foodstyle, the lifestyle wins.

Eat lunch and quickly head to the ocean.

I tried a lot of desktop NOSTR clients those days. I ran into various little problems quite often (problem with video, problem with picture, problem with reacting etc...), but eventually I found what works best for me.
First of all I have to give a big thanks towards @Alby, which I now use as a great temporary lightning wallet for both NOSTR and YouTube. At the same time, I love the fact that I have Alby as an extension in my browser and can freely browse the incredible number of NOSTR apps that have already been created without having to enter any codes anywhere (the codes have completely disappeared from my life, I don't even remember what they were called anymore, npub, nsec or something? Happy to leave them hidden in my keepassXC and never seeing them again) - a new level of user friendliness. Also thanks to this feature I could try almost all existing clients and at the same time discover things I didn't even know about (if you click on "apps" in Alby, you're in for a few hours ride across super NOSTR implementations with absolutely easy login everywhere :) ). If I use Alby, the internet is even more user friendly than the traditional social media sites (you log in everywhere with 2 magic clicks).
Regarding clients, I still have a policy of using many to check my posts, what looks like where, etc. In the end, though, I eventually found my home in noStrudel.ninja. For me, absolutely the best on desktop (especially since I tweaked the appearance to my taste in settings).
On mobile I use @Plebstr the most, but that may be purely out of habit, hard to say. I don't have Amethyst unfortunately, as I haven't managed to save up for a Google Pixel yet and need to use the old iPhone i found for free :).
Good morning, NOSTR! We slept in a teepee tonight. It was a bit cold (especially for Martina, who is breastfeeding and has to sleep with the kids under the same blanket, while the kids are constantly kicking and rolling around), but the kids love it. This is the first time we've built a teepee in Morocco. A donkey came to peek into the tent this morning.
BTW, I'm trying to post a self-hosted video so my posts don't take up too much space on free platforms like nostr.build (because I really don't understand how they fund the place and I always feel guilty when I upload several videos a day). We'll see how it goes, if it doesn't work out I'll be glad for advice :).

OK, so the worst case happened :). On some clients the video appears and works (Nostrudel). On some clients it only appears but does not work (iris.to) and on some clients it does not appear at all (plebstr). Any advice what should I do better to make it work everywhere? Change format? Upload it somewhere else? I just uploaded it into my wordpress site and copied the URL.

Does anyone happen to know if there is something like HeroHero via bitcoin/lightning (I would like for my youtube channel in future)? Something where people make a membership and assign to automatically send SATs to their favorite creators every month (without dending it every month manually - like automatic subscription)? Is that even technically possible? Maybe with something like alby? What about BTC Pay Server?
After lunch a turtle came to drink :)

Good Morning from the Atlas mountains.
The first thing to do in the morning is to clean up the place around us. Moroccans really do have a different limits regarding what's okay to throw away in nature and what's not (shards and baby diapers on a daily basis).
But that's okay. I don't like the mess? I'll go and clean it up. That's the end of it. There's no need to moralise all around.

Vision Pro? Well, honestly some goggles for diving and snorkeling would come in handy :).
Good Moroccan morning NOSTR :). I love it when we run out of gas and have to make breakfast on the stove. It gives us a nice wood mission in the morning (to wake up), warmth, and a cozy atmosphere :).

Today I rode my bike to the Moroccan market (souk) to get some vegetables, fruits and meat (especially strawberries) for the kids. When I was coming back, I met two camels not far from our van parked between the sand dunes. https://video.nostr.build/d87bef711b66762fb1e87af1032dc01968cfab22cfb5309d6c229a6ba9654f54.mp4
Seems nice :) we spent few days in Marrakech too, because we have had to see a doctor with our youngest son. Anyway, with a 7m long van, 2 kids and big dog it is not so pleasant to stay in big cities :).

The kids decided we needed better camouflage for the trip to the desert.

So thats what the new video is going to be about?
Do not take advice. Listen to your body and soul. There is a big possibility, it will end as failure as well, but at least it will be original and yours :).
Ano. To se opět dostáváme k tomu, co si myslíme, že je správné (i já si to myslím). Ale konal jsi tak vždy? A buď k sobě upřímný, skutečně jsi za celé první 4 roky dítěte nepoužil násilí? Např. k připásání proti vůli, když jsi byl ve stresu a spěchal na schůzku, nebo sundání odněkud, protože tě to v tu chvíli spíš štvalo, než aby to ohrožovalo život dítěte. Tyhle situace se občas dějí, konec konců není to týdenní návštěva kulturně rozdílného kamaráda, kterému vše vysvětlíš za dva dny, jsou to náročné 4 roky a množství těch situací je enormní, takže se zvyšuje pravděpodobnost udělat alespoň občas chybu. To dítě je navíc malé a lehké, takže to prostě občas táhne k tomu ho vzít a přesunout proti jeho vůli tam, kam potřebujeme, i když nejde o ohrožení života, ale my jsme prostě unavení, ve stresu, druhé dítě pláče, u toho se vylila miska s vodou apod. A já v tuto chvíli tvrdím, že ne - není podle mě správné konat násilně proti vůli dítěte, ale zároveň ano, někdy se mi to stane (a skutečně by mi dělalo veliké potíže komukoliv uvěřit, že tak nikdy nekonal). A já si tady ty násilné chvíle přiznávám a pak se za to omlouvám (promiň, byl jsem ve stresu, promiň měl jsem strach a nezvládnul ho). No a pal může jít třeba o doktora a ty máš strach o zdraví dítěte. Já jsem teď v Africe s dvěma dětma, ten mladší chytil infekci do oka a vypadal tak zuboženě, že když jsme se dostali k místní doktorce, tak jsem byl štěstím bez sebe, že jsem mu mohl začít kapat kapky do oka (které mu reálně hned začaly pomáhat). A ano, občas jsme mu museli to oko otevřít násilím, protože zatím jen říká pár slov, nedá se s ním domluvit, ale na druhou stranu jsi v Africe a netušíš, v co všechno by se to mohlo zvrhnout… takže ano, použil jsem násilí, ne nemyslím si, že je to správně a ano, omluvil jsem se pak. O těchto situacích myslím byla řeč. O těch, kde je otázka, zda by snaha nepoužít násilí neznamenala zanedbání zdraví dítěte. A tam to pro mě platí stejně jako když jsem byl párkrát ve stresu a dítě přesunul. Nejsem dokonalý, občas z různých důvodů provedu násilí, ale nikdy se ho nesnažím ospravedlňovat, prostě jdu a omluvím se za to. Stejně jako bych možná zakleknul kulturně rozdílného kamaráda, kterého právě uštkl had a hrozilo by mu, že buď mu aplikuji něco proti jeji vůli, nebo pak přijde o nohu. Asi bych to udělal a zpětně ho poprosil za odpuštění.
