I'd start by talking with people in your community. But, it really depends on what you have to offer in terms of service or labor.
Tells one where their head is at.
"MAKE AMERICA FREE AGAIN" should be the saying.
Okay lets see if this works. I setup a server and made it available on hypercore using #holesail
Its connection string is 066ed92add0f1b000409816229bfcb6bcf9bdf3ec0d73ff010a61d688fe4e830
For anyone who has nodejs installed, There are two things I want you to test
First connecting to the node using holesail cli. You can do this by running the `npx holesail 066ed92add0f1b000409816229bfcb6bcf9bdf3ec0d73ff010a61d688fe4e830` command then opening http://127.0.0.1:8989/
If it worked you should see the nginx welcome page 🎉
Next I want to test using the SOCKS5 proxy I built
To start the proxy you can run `npx hyper-socks5-proxy start` then you will have to follow the instructions in this note to configure FireFox to use that proxy
Once you have firefox setup you should be able to go to this address http://hypr1qehdj2kapudsqpqfs93zn07td08ehhe7crtnluqs5cwk3rlyaqcqdhsfwd.hyper/ and see the nginx welcome page 🎉
Let me know if you were able to connect, and if not what error you got
nostr:npub1h5t3asu90f2x48rxtcqkjvwhza7m6kngs7vjyanx8xqyswc6es2s4645z5 nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev and anyone else who is interested
http://127.0.0.1:8989/ is working both in Firefox and Chrome with Holesail only. What value is Hyper Proxy adding I wonder?
I would imagine it would be the top level management people in these agencies we have to worry about and not the worker bees.
Latest push has all this. Please test. New release soon.

Sorry it uses mongo. I like it but additional database support is on the roadmap for later.
If one is to run this relay, how much compute resources are required to do so?

When the FED prints money where does it go?
When the Federal Reserve (the FED) "prints money," it typically refers to the process of increasing the money supply, which can be done through various mechanisms, such as open market operations, quantitative easing, or lowering interest rates. Here’s a simplified overview of where that money goes:
1. Bank Reserves:
When the FED buys government securities (like Treasury bonds) from banks, it credits the banks' reserve accounts at the FED. This increases the amount of money that banks have available to lend.
2. Lending to Banks:
With more reserves, banks can lend more money to businesses and consumers. This can stimulate economic activity by making it easier for people to borrow for things like homes, cars, and business investments.
3. Financial Markets:
The money can also flow into financial markets, affecting asset prices. For example, when the FED buys securities, it can drive up their prices and lower yields, encouraging investors to seek higher returns in other assets, such as stocks or corporate bonds.
4. Consumer Spending:
As banks lend more, consumers and businesses may increase their spending, which can lead to economic growth. This is often the goal of increasing the money supply.
5. Inflation:
If too much money is printed relative to the goods and services available in the economy, it can lead to inflation, where prices rise.
6. Government Spending:
in some cases, the FED's actions can indirectly support government spending, especially if the government issues debt that the FED purchases.
Overall, the money created by the FED can circulate through the economy in various ways, influencing lending, spending, investment, and overall economic activity.
Ok, I get it. I should have been a banker to get free money.

Introduction - A Ninja's Handbook
This book is dedicated to all those good people who give their time and energy, and sometimes in some places, their freedom or even their lives, to do something they truly value. This is a book on anonymity and privacy in this lush forest full of data hunters called the internet.

Ninjas handbook very insighful. Thanks.
Pretty easy to do on GitLab too and no coding required. 🤔
Well for some reason people just have to go through the school of hard knocks. I remember never listening to my Dad when I was young and regretting it later.
If the spreadsheet was encrypted and store on removable media, then that would be fairly secure. But I'm guessing it was on the hard drive in clear text.
I'm wanting to start tipping in sats rather than fiat.
I'm thinking the least frictional way would be via a NOSTR client.
Anyone doing this I wonder? This should be a good way to motive people onto Bitcoin and Nostr.

I think you mean the successor to Truecrypt which is Veracrypt.

Sounds like your method of doing the lightning transaction might be charged a service fee on top of the transaction fee. But the cost will always depend on the number of routing hops the transaction needs to take. My lightning node charges a 1 sat fee, but each node operator is free to set their fee as desired. The routing logic always takes the cheapest route to complete the transaction.
I spent way to much time today trying to get #Zeus wallet setup on my iPhone today.
#Zeus appears to do a better job at documenting their wallet setup than other wallets. But for the life of me, I can figure why they would not warn people the initial sync time will take hours.
I'm at the math point of figuring out how to move on-chain sats in the wallet to the lightning wallet. Why can't I just say move the whole F'ing balance and figure out the fees for me?
Anyway, I'm at the saturation point now and just need to walk away from it.
I don't see how a non-techie person will ever submit to this type of frustration just to use a self-custody lightning wallet.
One of the things I almost never see mentioned in the various climate debates is the observation that Earth is historically on the cooler side and is rising from that very low base.
The planet has historically gone through multiple cycles of not having polar ice caps and then having them again, etc. Over millions of years. There's been a really long-term feedback loop there.
I'm not a climate scientist by any stretch, but I just find that general omission in public discussions around it to be interesting.

Another factor is the Earth's orbit. We are in a circle orbit now, but it will gradually change to a more elliptical orbit in the future. Then there will be bigger temperature swings.
