It's at a point now where it's almost impossible for me to use the "regular" internet. I can't access half the sites. The reason? I care about my digital hygiene and thus use a VPN. Sometimes switching to a different VPN or switching the country of the VPN works; other times it does not. Oh well, I guess I'm not going to watch that video, or read that article, or look at that picture. Whatever.

In addition to that, if I'm not blocked completely, I have to prove that I'm human every step of the way. Captchas, re-captchas, Cloudflare checkboxes, the whole shebang. I am human. I promise. And I am very annoyed. Outright angry, even. I doubt that any robot will ever be as annoyed as I am right now about the current state of the internet.

What annoys me most, actually, is that all these measures don't really work. There's bots everywhere. Robots get access to the stuff anyway, using farms of humans, just like in the good old days of WoW gold farming. The centralized "safety" nets of Cloudflare et al brought down large swaths of the internet multiple times in the last couple of weeks alone, and as things centralize more and more these outages will happen more and more.

I'm very close to breaking up with the legacy internet. I'm human, I can cryptographically prove that I'm human, and I have sats to spend. But the legacy internet doesn't care about that. It cares about farming me and my data, while annoying me to no end. I've been nostr only for a while now, but that was only on the "social media" side. 2026 might be the year where I go nostr-only for everything, or to phrase it slightly differently: permissionless for everything.

No more "are you human?"

No more "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."

No more cookie banners, paywalls, and AI slop.

No more being treated like a child.

Even if it means that I'll have to self-host everything.

Even if it means that I'll have to build & maintain stuff myself.

Even if it means that it's a lot of work and pain.

Nothing worth having ever comes easy.

But the easy stuff is not worth having in the first place.

Here's to the year to come, and the new corner of the internet, build on cryptography and webs-of-trust. Real value. Real connections. Real humans.

Here's to nostr.

In 2024, Vanguard’s CEO said we will never offer a #Bitcoin ETF. We will not change our mind.

In December 2025, they changed their mind, Vanguard’s Bitcoin ETF crossed $1 billion in volume in the first 30 minutes.

This matters because when a firm that manages $11 trillion and serves 50 million investors reverses course, it signals something bigger than a product launch. It is a capitulation. An institutional admission that the old assumptions about money, inflation, and store of value have cracked.

This is not about crypto hype. It is about the monetary system being forced into transparency by scarcity it can no longer ignore.

If the most conservative institution in finance just validated Bitcoin, the question is not what happens next. It is whether you are prepared for the world that follows.

A trillion dollar asset faces a court case that could collapse the primary use case of said asset (self-custody and sovereignty), our boys thought the community would step up to the tune of the +$10m required to fight a court case like this. Instead they got $1m in donations and $2m in debt and had to call it quits.

This case was and is existential for Bitcoin. The fact that only one one-millionth of the monetary value of Bitcoin was put forth to defend itself from this attack was a travesty.

Think how much miners spend on electricity and machine depreciation every day and nobody could spare the money necessary to defend Bitcoin from the legal attack vector.

Is this place just bots and admins now?

Nein, der ist neu. Dachte vor 2 Wochen noch es gibt nochmal tüv. Jetzt kommt er erst Mal in ne Garage und vielleicht hab ich iwann die Muße ihn fixen zu lassen. Aktuell macht's für mich keinen Sinn.

I'm a simple man. I just want a moto t-900 with an rpi setup inside for meshtastic and bitchat.

GA ☕
