first time travelling overseas with the SO tomorrow after more than 5 years together 🥰 and y’all get to hear about it unfortunately as he’s asleep and I’m still awake and chronically online lol
First client that can afford Lightspark’s prices haha
Latest from #Niger, as I understand it. Apparently Wagner contingency has arrived on the ground (with support from Russia?) AND ECOWAS Security Council has coincidentally backed down from its threat of sending forces in to restore the puppet leader of France/U.S.
Could it be that Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso are successfully forming a beachhead of resistance to neo-colonialism, backed with Wagner muscle? I pray this is the case and these are the early weeks and months of a new African sovereignty movement. I also hate the thought of the Wagner Group acting as the front for a Russian colonial grab at African resources.
Please stand with Africa and add your voice to those calling for the full sovereignty of African nations and peoples from colonial control via debt and force!

Wagner knows an opportunity to upend things when they see it. But yeah, full decolonisation is necessary to break those crippling economic chains.
Testing out Etta wallet, anyone got some testnet sats to settle this?

git-nomad is a simple tool that's actually pretty handy for WIP
But also yeah, first interview was like 15 seconds and they were super friendly at the Sandton embassy.
Ok, I don't know what to make of this.
I'm set to attend the HRF Global Bitcoin Summit in Nashville, 14 - 16 September. Very grateful for the invitation nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu. It'll be my first visit to the states. Very excited!
So I applied for a USA visa.
Anyway, as a South Afican, traveling on the green mamba passport, I've applied for many visas. Very few places I can go without doing that.
And of all the many visa applications I've gone through, this one seemed among the most rigirious, more questions on the application form, more documents, etc.
Anyway. Long story short, yesterday I took a 2-hour local flight to attend an in-person interview. And I'm standing there at the counter with a thick pile of documents, hands sweating just a little after a security check at the consulate entrance that's more strict than most airport security checks.
The lady behind the counter takes my passport, looks at me, asks two or three questions, and says: "Congratulations, your visa has been approved."
Obviously relieved, but also more than a little perplexed, as I turned around and walked out without having touched the pile of supporting documents I had been instructed to bring along.
Anyway, stoked! Looks like I'm traveling to the states in September.
See you at Bitcoin Park, Nashville!
Have you had a US visa in the past?
When I applied for a second visa there was no interview. Was very easy.
My mother and brother almost drove into the crossfire of an attempted courier hijacking this morning right outside the driveway 🙁
Everyone is okay, they checked on the courier driver and passenger after the incident. Hijackers fled.

Yay, now y’all can come over to me for a change 😝
nushell 0.83 messed up my entire Nix home manager config now. Had to disable a bunch of `programs.*` and manually integrate. All because of deprecated `let-env` :(
The AS (authenticating service) is already provided by nostr keys and signatures. (Your identifier _is_ your pubkey). Nostr itself is a DS (delivery service).
The keying material is signed with your nsec for authentication.
So it looks like radicle.xyz got rid of all the ethereum rubbish and is purely focused on censorship-resistance and decentralised GitHub-like platform
Nah. It’s a clean slate. No standard for revocation even.
Customs is so slow for imports...
Tempted to switch to my vanity `@npub1dunxen...` key.
