On SSB, that happens only if you follow the "pub" (equiv of "relay" in Nostr). Is that a client specific feature?

Michael Kandel, the translator (from Polish to English), was astonishing. The wordplay is so good, you would swear Lem wrote it in English.

By Stanislaw Lem, a Polish author.

My favorite by Lem is "The Cyberiad" - which could be a TV series. It is a series of short stories connected by common characters and sci-fi assumptions. Each story explores different aspects of philosophy or science or psychology or some combination. It is kind or like to original "Star Trek" in that respect.

I pictured a panel black on one side and white on the other, and using some kind of thermal electric material to generate power.

Example of thermal cooling paint:

The gay seatbelt ad is actually from a Dutch airline.

Any federated protocol can use an ipv6 mesh vpn (or any global vpn really) to become fully decentralized. I used SIP over Cjdns for a long time, using more XMPP and Matrix now. SMTP over Cjdns lets me contact old friends moved halfway around the world. Whether they are using amateur wifi links, DSL, or conventional (since 1996) ISP.

Wow.

Not to mention pilots dropping dead from mandated Pfizer shot, airlines demanding that copilot requirement be dropped due pilot shortage - largely caused by experienced pilots quitting rather than take said mandated shot.

Looks like if I need to fly anywhere, I'll have to charter a flight with one of those pilots. Sounds expensive. There are still non-woke airlines, like Alaska - but then there is the woke equipment problem when you get to larger planes.

I would tell the kids: "Who wants quiescently frozen fractionated bovine mammary secretions for dessert? The first time, they said, "Ewwwww!"

Zero.

How did you "like" your own Note? Do some clients allow that?

I can see that viewpoint. And having lived through the exponential growth of the "Military Industrial Complex" post WW2 in the US, I actually have some concern for Russia. Russia is now the "good guys" of the world (to the extent any nation can be - which is not much). Their economy is booming. Near 100% employment. Money is flowing through *their* "Military Industrial Complex" at unprecedented levels. It all reminds me of the US in WW2 and the aftermath. Will they avoid the same "Deep State" trap? How?

I had no trouble running a BTC full node. But my understanding is that a lightning node requires a very high uptime. With BTC, you can take it down for maintenance, or just because it is using too much bandwidth, and it will catch up when you start it again.

Steps:

1. Use linux entropy source daemons like egd or rngd. Every keystroke or mouse movement is like the roll of a dice. Browse Nostr for a while.

2. Take some random photos and copy the (raw if you can get it) images (or their sha512 hash) to /dev/random

3. read the required number of bytes from /dev/random
