They've got critiques, BUT YOU HAVE STEAK!!!

85mm primes are amazing portrait lenses!

YO, 85mm primes are so much fun!

I used to do all sorts of photoshoots but have barely touched my DSLR in the last few years.

Moar #photography nerds on nostr, please!

One of the amazing items in the nostr:npub17xvf49kht23cddxgw92rvfktkd3vqvjgkgsdexh9847wl0927tqsrhc9as Global Bitcoin Summit swag bag was a copy of Resistance Money.

Even better: got to meet the authors nostr:npub1yezu4atsdgchvlyjz5efwks8n7ze2rssq674qe04m5pp8e5y32tqfdawc7, nostr:npub1jddnc9ma408dey575wcsqhg5jtc2n7765y4gdnnrswlwgqnnat7swe4s60, and nostr:npub10afr060h0g3vf2ykynr6cvw2u7ta3tzpgjczfyufp420aeeen0xszf0xj0!

But since I already had my own copy of the book, this one will be donated to Chicago BitDevs.

(sorry nostr folk, twitter handles are still easier to go by)

Love hearing these brief Unsung Hero testimonials. This one caught my ear on my morning walk with nostr:nprofile1qqstwd7k7hyv5nf94v9zchtcwe6gyak529j0ah7tgjueudwrryj2d6cprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0hxhvc5.

Simple human kindness can mean the world to someone.

Updated to add more detail around the risks at each layer of our Linux-based stack and crucial differences in how retail hwws work.

See the notes at the end for ongoing summary of edits.

The specific thing I'm referencing / responding to is included in the writeup linked in the original post.

As for what you said, you're correct: there's no attempt to store any secrets in a SeedSigner so it's irrelevant that there's no secure element. The device is never connected to the internet (there is no wifi or bluetooth hardware onboard) and, ideally, it's only ever powered via a usb battery. So no physical connection ever to any internet-connected device.

Security convo matrix is roughly

1. publicly discuss risk, private clarification

2. publicly discuss risk, public clarification

3. privately discuss risk, private clarification

4. privately discuss risk, public clarification

The problem with 1.) is that even if those risks can be fully dispelled as nothings, if that clarification is done in private, everyone else is still freaked out and might think they're in danger.

Therefore since the RHR criticism was so public, so should be the clarification, thus 2.).

3.) and 4.) aren't relevant here, but for completion:

3.) is fine if there was never any real risk (e.g. someone asking, "Hey, can X happen?" "No, it can't because blah." "Ah, okay, cool"). No harm, no foul. But not great if there is a real risk and it's quietly fixed and never publicly disclosed.

4.) is pretty common: "We get this question a lot so let's discuss this concern...". Or it's a real risk that's fixed and then publicly disclosed.

Hoping to clarify what seems to be a misunderstanding by nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx about how the Pi Zero hardware shapes the nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl security model.

I'm not about drama, certainly not looking to increase it.

Please give this a read and hit me back w/any questions:

Sourdough sounds like too much of a commitment / rabbit hole for me right now, but def hope to level up to it at some point!

It does seem absurd now that anyone would buy industrially produced bread. Local bakery, sure. Also maybe during the summer to avoid heating up the kitchen. But homemade bread just seems like such an easy, satisfying win.

New mitts already on the way!

I also have silicon handle grippers for my cast iron pans, but I have to leave a dish towel wrapped around them to be able to handle them with bare hands.

An older version of this Scosche Rhythm heart rate monitor: https://a.co/d/i4NmUeH

And FITIV Pulse app.

I found the watch heart rate monitors to be too slow to catch changes which really screws you on zone running. They probably have inconsistent readings as the watch moves around. I wear this monitor on my forearm, near the elbow. Def stays put. And it's more comfortable and convenient than the chest strap style monitor.

Perfecting my Bart Chart runs.

Okay, I'm about 3 days into learning how to make #bread and I'm now pretty sure that "no-knead" approaches are bullshit cheats. NOT where beginners should start.

Learned how to slap and fold and HOLY SHIT it's amazing how the sticky gloop transforms into dough in just a few minutes.

The other key technique is "walking the dough" with a circular pull turn with a scraper.

Learned it all from this tutorial: https://youtu.be/bWN9mxR_iXI

We'll see how it bakes, but feels like a huge progress milestone.

TIL that my oven mitts are NO F'N MATCH for cast iron @ 435° F.

Youch. 🔥✋😢

I know it's dumb to look at short-term price, but #58kgang has brainwashed me so thoroughly that I cannot comprehend any kind of green candle.
