I'd rather not tie my nsec to my search engine until we get a master/managed-child key solution. Even then, I'd advise creating a new nsec—same as creating a new email/password for all accounts—which is best privacy practice. So, in my opinion, privacy-wise, it kind of defeats the purpose for now.

A $3 withdrawal fee is wild! I know OZ went more toward direct bank transfer/credit/debit and less on cash transactions, but that's really pushing it. Gotta get everyone on a digital record I guess.

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

121. Think not lightly of evil, saying, “It will not come to me.” Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the fool, gathering it little by little, fills himself [themselves] with evil.

122. Think not lightly of good, saying, “It will not come to me.” Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man [one], gathering it little by little, fills himself [themselves] with good.

Looking for an open-source privacy oriented fitness tracker?

I have really been enjoying FitoTrack.

FitoTrack is a mobile app for logging and viewing your workouts. Whether you’re running, cycling or hiking, FitoTrack will show you the most important information, with detailed charts and statistics. It is open-source and completely ad-free.

Features:

• Track workouts. Choose the type of sport you would like to track and just start running, cycling or hiking, for example. You can see the general information right below the map on the tracking screen.

• View your workouts. View general information such as date, time, duration, distance, speed and pace. See your route on a map. Work out your level of performance from the speed diagram.

• Open-Source. There is neither advertisement nor tracking, and the source code is open and licensed under the GPLv3.

Check it out!

The repo is on Codeberg and the official release is on Google Play and F-Droid only, so...

I recommend getting it from F-Droid Basic and not a third party like Obtanium.

Get it here:

https://codeberg.org/jannis/FitoTrack

For those who wonder why not Obtanium?

My views align with PrivacyGuides and modern security standards regarding obtaining apps from F-Droid. I don't recommend getting apps from F-Droid unless it's the only option.

If F-Droid must be used, F-Droid Basic is the preferred choice. F-Droid Basic supports automatic background updates without privileged extension or root and has a reduced feature set, limiting the attack surface.

Third-party F-Droid clients can have numerous issues, such as lacking proper mirroring support. For this reason, I recommend avoiding Neo Store and no longer suggest using any third-party clients for F-Droid repositories.

You can't turn him into a whore

And the boys upstairs just don't understand anymore

Well the top brass don't like him talking so much

And he won't play what they say to play

And he don't wanna change what don't need to change

And there goes the last DJ

Who plays what he wants to play

And says what he wants to say

Hey hey hey

And there goes your freedom of choice

There goes the last human voice

> Remember, I am no teacher; I can merely be a signpost for a traveler who is lost. It is up to you to decide on the direction. All I can offer is an experience but never a conclusion, so even what I have said needs to be thoroughly examined by you. I might be able to help you to discover and examine your problem by awakening your awareness. A teacher, a good teacher that is, functions as a pointer to truth but not a giver of truth.

The song was inspired by frontman Brian Molko discovering his neighbours were spying on him:

“I began writ­ing the lyr­ics when I dis­covered my neigh­bors were spy­ing on me on behalf of parties with a nefar­i­ous agenda.

“I then began to pon­der the count­less ways in which our pri­vacy has been eroded and stolen since the intro­duc­tion of world­wide CCTV cam­eras.

“The rise of the inter­net and the cell­phone has turned prac­tic­ally every user into a paparazzo and spec­tat­ors in their own lives.

“And we have mostly all offered up per­sonal inform­a­tion to enorm­ous mul­tina­tion­als whose sole intent is to exploit us.

“I used the cut-up tech­nique inven­ted by Wil­liam S Bur­roughs and pop­ular­ised in mod­ern song by David Bowie.

“It’s a true story told through a lens of para­noia, com­plete dis­gust for mod­ern soci­ety’s val­ues and the dei­fic­a­tion of sur­veil­lance cap­it­al­ism.”

Thought force is a movement of consciousness in a field of mechanical but intelligent Law. The movement of consciousness upon itself creates a motion or vibration upon Substance, ***the force of which is equal to the embodiment of the thought set in motion***. For everything that happens in the objective world, there must be something in the subjective world which perfectly balances it.

— Ernest Holmes

#Ikitao #SOM

That sounds wonderful.

I loved my aromatherapy diffuser, but I decided to get rid of it (and my salt rock lamp) after talking to my vet. They basically said:

"Though diffusers can occasionally be safe for cats, more often than not, they're very risky and are best avoided around your feline."

Most essential oils can be harmful to cats. Cats lack certain liver enzymes needed to metabolize many compounds found in these oils, making them extremely sensitive.

The risks from the diffuser being knocked over, spilling, or the cats ingesting oil droplets when they groom themselves were not something I was willing to take.

Many cat owners know about the danger of certain plants and flowers around their cats, many don't know how sensitive cats are to essential oils and scents in general (cats are much more sensitive to smells than we are).

Here then is a PSA list (for "the room") of essential oils that are known to be toxic to cats:

- Basil

- Bergamot

- Bitter almond

- Cinnamon

- Clove leaf

- Eucalyptus

- Geranium

- Juniper

- Lavender

- Lemon

- Lemongrass

- Lime

- Mint (including wintergreen, spearmint, and peppermint)

- Myrrh

- Orange

- Pine

- Rose

- Rosemary

- Sandalwood

- Sassafras

- Tarragon

- Tea tree (deadly!)

- Thyme

- Wormwood

- Ylang ylang

Other less common essential oils that are also toxic include:

Armoise, Bay leaf (W. Indian), Birch (sweet), Boldo leaf, Buchu, Calamus, Clary Sage, Cornmint, Horseradish, Japanese Yew, Hyssop, Lanyana, Mustard, Oregano, Pennyroyal (N. Am.), Pennyroyal (Eur.), Sassafras (Brazilian), Savin, Savory (Summer), Southernwood, Spruce, Tansy, Thuja, Tree wormwood, Large wormwood, Western Red Cedar, and Wormseed.

Symptoms of essential oil toxicity in cats can include drooling, vomiting, tremors, difficulty breathing, lethargy, and even liver damage in severe cases.

If you absolutely must use essential oils, ensure proper ventilation, keep diffusers out of reach, and provide a safe space where cats can retreat from the scent. However, the safest approach is to avoid using essential oil diffusers around cats altogether.

Veterinary opinions on essential oils and cats are divided. While some pet-safe diffusers and essential oil products are marketed, many vets advise extreme caution or complete avoidance.

If you're considering using any aromatherapy products around your cat, it's crucial to do your own research and consult with your veterinarian first for personalized advice based on your cat's specific health needs and the latest research.

I hope someone finds this info helpful.

Happy birthday, Marc-André Leclerc. One of the greatest solo alpinists ever. "The Alpinist" is a must-watch. Marc-André exemplifies facing fear head-on and living life full-on. A true legend following his bliss. 💜

https://v.nostr.build/hE6lyykXCG5wtdx9.mp4

"Marc-André Leclerc climbs alone, far from the limelight. On remote alpine faces, the free-spirited 23-year-old Canadian makes some of the boldest solo ascents in history. Yet, he draws scant attention.

With no cameras, no rope, and no margin for error, Leclerc's approach is the essence of solo adventure. Nomadic and publicity shy, he doesn’t own a phone or car, and is reluctant to let a film crew in on his pure vision of climbing.

Veteran filmmaker Peter Mortimer (THE DAWN WALL) sets out to make a film about Leclerc but struggles to keep up with his elusive subject. Then, Leclerc embarks on a historic adventure in Patagonia that will redefine what is possible in solo climbing."

Fun fact: The #Rambo lunch box, manufactured by Thermos in 1985 marked the end of the metal lunchbox era in the U.S. before safety and economic concerns caused manufacturers to switch to plastic alternatives.

"This marked the end of the metal lunchbox era, primarily due to concerns from parents and school officials about safety. Metal lunchboxes were often used as weapons by children, leading to worries about potential injuries from their hard edges".

As a result, manufacturers transitioned to plastic lunchboxes, which were cheaper and considered safer.

**Edward Snowden said it well during his keynote speech at Bitcoin 24':**

"Bitcoin transactions are not private. All of you know this in the general sense because it's 2024, not back in 2013 when we were saying, 'Oh, Bitcoin is perfectly anonymous, and it's money for criminals and whatever.' The only person who still believes that is Elizabeth Warren.

The reality is that Bitcoin transactions are permanent, public, trackable, and linkable.

An enormous proportion of them are fully doxxed, just not publicly doxxed. And this is because of how people move it on and off the Bitcoin network, or any crypto chain really, and it's through the on and off ramps, right? — through these legacy exchanges that get licensed by whatever, you know, New York State or whatever country, whether it's in Dubai, whether it's in New York.

And they are sharing the information en masse with what we politely refer to as regulators, but what are plainly described as great powers."

"If Bitcoin diverted all of their energy to make itself private and became known as a network of complete and utter privacy, it probably is counterproductive to its own interests, because you don't want the United States government to say Bitcoin is completely private [...]

There's no way you're going to get 100 trillion dollars to flow into Bitcoin if its use case is directly against the interest of a government that it's within, right, so ... you don't want to be that good."

Currently NSEC is acting as a one key to rule them all concept. People are plugging their one key into all kind of apps, some secure, many not. If any of those apps are compromised, your entire account and every thing you logged into is compromised.

This is akin to using one password on all your accounts. It's bad OPSEC.

What I mean is we need a way to create multiple keys based on that ONE key pair, similar to creating a unique password for every account. This way, if one Nostr based app is comoromised only that "baby" key is compromised and not the "master" key that it came from. An option to "freeze" these keys or delete would be even better.

I prefer the security of using a separate password and account. No thank you. Not until we can get an NSEC bunker. Currently nostr keys are ever compromised, EVERYTHING gets compromised.

It does :)
