Lightning is unfixable.

Doing a pod with #[0]​ about cold storage and self custody!

Will be a great resource for newcomers and those intimidated by the process.

TGIF let’s gooo ⚡️🚀

Keystr is such a good name

What if the device has bad firmware and keeps the passphrase for later retrieval?

Learning from things blowing up in his face seems to a trend. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I decided to test out Nostrgram's bulk zap feature. Since Lyn Alden's recent post about Elon really seemed to make some waves and got more engagement than any other single note I've seen on nostr it seemed like the perfect target. So I did a bulk zap of 5 sats to everyone who replyed to the note. 433 pubkeys. Using #[1]. As I type this it's been cranking away for about 10 minutes and still has a ways to go... Got one error 'i is undefined' had to click ok and the zapping is now continuing.... got pulled away for a couple hours. When I came back my laptop was asleep. When I woke it up, nostrgram was up on the main feed, no zapping in progress. zaplife.lol shows that I have 94 zaps in the last 4 hours. Hmmm... so I don't know if it stopped zapping when the computer went to sleep or if it errored out in some other way. Nostrgram has seemed pretty slow/buggy for me lately so that might be related as well. In any case, the experiments must continue. Thanks to #[0] and #[1] for making cool stuff for me to play with.

Have y'all tried black garlic? It's really damn tasty.

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

Got Lionel Shriver setup with a bitcoin wallet.

Send her some love 🧡

Did you know you can compile Go programs for MacOS (or for any other OS) from any other OS?

Go > Rust

Many people have been doing it since day one.

The Damus on the Google Play store *is NOT our app*. It is a scam and is probably trying to steal private keys. Damus is iOS/macos only.

it is frustrating how many friendships are ruined due to jealousy once you find a tiny bit of success
