Anyone still play PokemonGo?
I just created and submitted a route.
I made a thing!
Was out and about and saw this. Looks like someone tried an old fashioned theft of fiat, unsuccessfully. Surrounding structure is mangled, ATM looks to be untouched.
Was trying to come up with a clever punchline about security, but I got nothing.
GM all.
My morning started with hot coffee spilled all over the kitchen floor, but at least I was fast enough to not burn my bare feet with hot coffee. Just a mess to clean up.
Inside you there are two wolves.
One holds your private key, one holds your public key. -Me

That's deep.
One day at a time. You got this.
Back in my day (I'm likely older) we had coin-op vide games at the arcade. The original "rental" model of pay-to-play.
25 cents bought you three lives, or a couple minutes of game time.
Adjusted for inflation, and at current prices, that's about 3k sats, or almost 1000 satoshis per "life."
Notes: inflation between 1985 and 2023 is almost 3x, making a quarter then, a nominal 75 cents today. Kraken says that's just a bit shy of 3k sats.
Would you play an arcade game of Asteroids for a 3k nostr zap?

Good morning all.
In today's episode "why job hunting sucks" - we have recruiters who don't know when companies or other recruiters have already reached out to you about the same job, and find it's not a fit, for whatever reason.
I have to check my notes, to see if I've already talked with that company or not.
Cone on folks, can't you share your lists of candidates already talked to?
Speaking of which, let me know if any of you are at places hiring for a remote, Senior Security position.

I just finished the "Murderbot Diaries" series. They are excellent.
Before that, Adrian Tchaikovsky's "Children of ... Time/Ruin/Memory" series. Also excellent.

Adulting is mostly:
Doing laundry, doing dishes, filing paperwork, and changing filters.
Nobody tells you how many filters you have to change. I was expecting more quicksand, really.
It's like Sisyphus, but with house work, instead of a boulder that rolls back down.
Could be worse, I suppose. We could be Prometheus getting our liver eaten every day, so there's that.
It’s always DNS.
If it’s not DNS then it’s TLS certificates.
But really, it is always DNS.
Privacy reminder.
#nostr is *very* public, by design. It's meant to be broadcast.
#mastodon users had concerns about DMs not being encrypted and readable by instance admins.
But here, anyone can "log in" and get a read-only view of anyone else's account on Nostr with just their public key (available in their profile). See your follows/followers/zaps/etc... as you would.
Be careful with logging in to arbitrary web clients as well, with your private key, as you've essentially handed that service owner the ability to be you. You may trust them, but if they then get compromised, so does your private key.
Stay safe out there friends.

Heh. You both got follows for the same reason. Hashtag #mindfullness.
Complete agree that folks practicing, frequently have other qualities that make them interesting to talk with
Chop wood. Carry water.
Cheers.
An other day. An other chance to do something awesome. Thanks for being a welcoming presence, first thing I see when I check the app.
Cheers.
I didn't go full keto, or cut carbs entirely, but I dropped 30 pounds and went from a recent diabetic A1c of over 8 down through pre-diabetic syndrome levels to "normal" 5.7 in about 3 months. Blood sugar welll over 300 regularly, down to a 80-120 range.
Love that keto options have become common enough to fill in some of the carb desires. But yeah, travel is rough.
At least most hotel breakfast have eggs of some sort.
Become a big fan of traveling with a bag of various nuts.
I fully expect, in short order, "Digital Ghosts" as a legit, real funeral service.
Take the deceased's writing and digital artifacts. Train a gpt4-like LLM on them with the instructions "You are a digital representation of $PERSON. Answer questions and conversation prompts to help survivors get closure"
Part of the memorial, like a tombstone, would be a Jor-El-like recording data crystal (probably a USB stick or SD card with the weightings as a checkpoint file) that family could use to talk with the departed's simulacra.
They won't need the full Black Mirror treatment of VR, or a robot body. Folks would pay to have a chat conversation with the departed, or a close enough facsimile.
Finally saw the live action plus CG "Little Mermaid" #movie.
I know racists gonna racist, but literally arguing over the skin tone of an imaginary being is just some sort of next level stupid.
The actress was charming, beautiful, and could sing. It's a kid's movie. It was visually stunning.
As a movie, it was fine. I don't think it added much, story wise, to the original animated one. Kind of like the live action "Lion King."
But representation matters. Kids seeing actors who look like them matters.
So, as a cis-het white male, I'm here for it.
Yup. Already following a few hash tags just for this. Thanks!
So very much this. Not so much the "family" thing, but I want the human connection and kindness.
I can get tech info plenty of places.
I want to see your cool forest photos, or hear about your cool new game design.
