Democrats try so hard to appear “anti-racist”
Yet when you really listen to them speak….

The soft bigotry of low expectations
Thanks! Will try it
The purpose of a nervous system is to move. There are some sea creatures that have nervous systems when born, but then attach and never move again, digesting their nervous systems at attachment time.

How many generations of your family line do you want to secure?
That’s how many #Bitcoin you should have.
Summer #grilling tip: the temperature at which the fat in Italian sausages becomes aerosolized fuel capable of self-sustained immolation is ~450° F.
I feel that so far in #Bitcoin, #Nostr, and the #Pears stack we’ve had a strong focus on two things:
• User facing wallets, app, and features
• And fundamental network design and implementation
However, there are drawbacks to what we’ve focused on: The fundamental network development is critical, but isn’t understood and doesn’t interact well with the end user. While the end user wallets and services often have huge trade offs and rely on third parties or custodians.
We have basically let the market for centralized companies work to bridge between these two areas of development and demographics of the community.
But as has been shown with recent arrests and the fear rippling through public service providers, I think it’s critically important that we start focusing on building tools to BE a service provider, that are as simple and easy to operate as the end user wallets have been designed.
The barrier is still too large between the end UX and the core tools of these environments.
For example, we need to think about how we can design an interface that lets anyone with a couple of BTC be a private LSP, automatically, with channel splicing, and try at lets users connect to and use them in popular wallets with nothing but a QR. This would radically change the landscape if “running a server” is as easy as we can possibly make it. This would be the key to genuine decentralization of the market and the ability to quietly make a huge variety of reliable and simple services and onboarding tools that aren’t bug, public, and easily targeted businesses.
It would open up an entirely new layer of the market that is never actually targeted and with tradition infrastructure, isn’t really possible. But the new protocols we have today change this. We need to change how we think about the architecture of the market when we have new tools that, rather than simply building the same things with new tools, allow us to completely rethink how things are built in the first place.
Recently piece from nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m is a great example. IMO, It’s time we think about UX for sovereign providers the way we’ve always thought about UX for the average user.

No worries, but yeah, this is what I’m talking about. I think we could do streaming audio/video and images on Nostr, but the encoding overhead to cram it into a string could be avoided with a binary protocol.
The savings on bas64 for binary content is 33%
I found that typically what I needed to do remotely was satisfied by regular terminal interface. Running GUIs remotely generally wasn’t worth it. If a remote GUI was needed, i generally found that full Remote Desktop was the easiest path.
If you made no other changes, then yes, encoding with a binary format like CBOR makes little difference and wouldn’t be worth it.
Where it makes sense is if you also allow native binary packets. That is, make the id, author, content and signature fields raw bytes. Keep tags as strings.
A common tag might be “mime-type”. Additional compression optional.
This would open the door for using Nostr to relay non-text data without paying the base64 or URL encoding cost to cram binary data into the content string. Additional data structures can themselves be nested CBOR binary content etc.

Well, if your goal is to build mass, carnivore isn’t going to help. It’s great for your health, but not for bulking. It’ll do the opposite—you’ll get leaner.
For bulking, you need to be on a caloric surplus. It’s hard to eat enough calories for this, but easy to drink them. Add a protein shake to your diet with like 4x scoops of the powder. This will put you in caloric surplus for sure, plus you’ll have enough protein to build muscle. Consider adding creatine monohydrate to the shake while bulking.
You’ll probably gain some fat too, but you can take that off later by going back to your original diet. It sounds like you probably have an ectomorphic body type, so slimming down post-bulk shouldn’t be tough.
