Wow, that is growing well. Will try to grow some stuff here in Germany, but it is very late in the year …

Sorry, the payment was not made via lightning, but onchain, but fast anyway. #btc #rqs

Just ordered some good stuff at Royal Queen Seeds and guess what, they accept BTC via Lightning. I opened #Zeus (thanks nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5) connected to my node, scanned the QR code of the invoice and bang, payment was made; a few minutes later I got confirmation from RQS and two hours later the parcel is on its way. #lightning #seedstr

Spent and earned some fiat on a horse race day. #horsestr #betstr https://nostr.build/av/67bd6b14c99b1aa01a69fcf3351deca5cf6dade557f69a7be8cf02a0073aca31.mov

And of the #plebdrink: „Occasionally we should reach the stage even of intoxication, allowing it, not to drown us, but to take over our senses; for it washes away our cares, and rouses the mind from its depths, acting as a cure for its melancholy as it does for certain maladies.“ Seneca, On the Tranquility of the Mind.

Seneca was the father of the #plebwalk: „We should also take walks out of doors, so that our minds may be energized and refreshed by the open air and deep breathing.“ Seneca, On the Tranquility of the Mind.

This is a good summary of Stoic philosophy: „Above all it is necessary for the mind to be withdrawn into itself, abjuring all external interests; let it have confidence in itself and take pleasure in itself, let it admire its own possessions, withdraw as far as possible from those of others, let it not feel losses and put a kind interpretation even on adversities.“ Seneca, On the Tranquility of the Mind.

„Nothing happens to the wise man contrary to his expectation.“ Seneca, On the Tranquility of the Mind.

I am very happy with Umbrel on a Raspi Pi 8, using it for more than a year without any problems.

„Wherever there is a human being, there exists the opportunity for an act of kindness.“ Seneca, On the Happy Life.

Just look around and see what good persons and things are around you. Imagine they are gone. Would you not want them back? Do this every day.

Great idea, I was eagerly waiting for it. I installed it overnight on my Pi 8 GB, but was very disappointed when I started it this morning. It was VERY slow and could not answer my first two questions (first was relating historic exchange rates and second regarding stoic philosophy). Llama via nostrnet.work from nostr:npub1cmmswlckn82se7f2jeftl6ll4szlc6zzh8hrjyyfm9vm3t2afr7svqlr6f answered both questions quickly. Also, the other apps on my Pi became slower. So I deinstalled the app ... No offence to nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct, you did a great job in offering this one click install app, but anyone has to be realistic ... You cannot run a fully functional and competitive LLama on a Raspi Pi ...

„I am satisfied if each day I make some reduction in the number of my vices and find fault with my mistakes.“ Seneca, On the Happy Life.

„For if a man has put himself beyond the reach of all desires, what can he lack? What need does he have of anything external, if he has concentrated all that he possesses in himself?“ Seneca, On the Good Life. This sounds very similar to Buddha: Big mind, small mind.

Another new channel incoming in a few hours.

„We never exercise judgement in our lives but constantly resort to trust, and a mistake that has been passed down from one hand to another takes us over and spins our ruin.“ Seneca, On the Happy Life“.

„What follows from this is that men are piled high, one on top of another, as they rush to their ruin.“ Seneca, On the Happy Life.

„Accordingly, the most important point to stress is that we should not, like sheep, follow the herd of creatures in front of us, making our way where others go, not where we ought to go.“ Seneca, On the Happy Life.

I like Perplexity, too.

Will see Oppenheimer now. How did you like the movie?
