Handyman engineer. I bounce from project to project. I'm often called in to do the finishing touches, bringing 90% complete projects over the finish line. I'm good at making disparate systems talk to each other. * Zaps powered by nostr:nprofile1qqsf07zg4hxyccnkdp07fppxmetpfzru3fg6mgzx3nk8r7af8qnjjyg76vulm * On-chain powered by nostr:nprofile1qqsvxq03xdev3uxehjqcdkr5lfzl5vawmcf7vm6ps73m6ghwg8y4k2shaefxp *Always Buy the Dip* #privacy #security #linux #Android #networkengineer #infosec #SimpleX #dogs #cats #pets #cooking

I know he wasn't charged with murder. You posted about the 6 people who died in the context of minimization. That's why asked how many deaths would have warranted concern. I wasn't implying that he was charged with murder.

Why? Why the rush to "reach out" to a third-world hermit nation on the other side of the world who we have no relations with? The only thing that makes sense is that Trump knows interactions with Kim generate a lot of press, and if there's anything he likes, it's press coverage. It's all about stroking his own ego. Because that's all that can come of it.

A phone call or a visit that he'll come out of talking about how great he is for talking to this absurd enemy that starves its own people for the sake of building weapons and providing luxury to its leader.

The United States and the American people will not benefit one iota from this nonsense. But Trump will. At our expense.

I think Vitalik is dead on with this concern. Shitcoins absolutely have the potential to be used as a vehicle for bribery and influence peddling. If any politicians start releasing these memecoins, we should probably keep a very close eye on them, and view them with skepticism.

Your argument is with the state of our drug laws. It says nothing of the fact that he was charged and sentenced under current law. The fact that you disagree with that law is not an justification for the hero worship of this one individual. Nostr has become a mecca for Ross worship, and I don't think that's a positive development. As I said, I think the sentence was overly harsh and I'm glad he's out, but the glorification and singular focus on this guy is absurd. I haven't even been as active here in the past few days because of the over the top celebrations and myth making that has seemingly taken over Nostr. It's depressing because this is the only social media I use, and it feels like it's becoming a cult platform.

I don't think he should have gotten a life sentence, and I'm glad he's out, but the lionizing and over the top hero worship is a bit out of hand. People are acting like he invented oxygen, and was falsely imprisoned when the fact is he was imprisoned for money laundering and conspiracy to traffic narcotics. He was found guilty by a jury of his peers, sentenced by an impartial judge, and he lost his appeal. Some of these posts I'm seeing are absolutely ridiculous, whitewashing the facts, and revising history to justify treating him like Jesus.

Not bought? Seriously? He's the most corrupt person to ever sit in the White House, and everything he runs a brazen influence peddling operation, with his shitcoin setup to allow foreign money to pour into his wallet. I mean, it's just ridiculous to claim he's not bought when he's constantly for sale to the highest bidder.

Those are prison sweats, not a $400 designer outfit. I'll stick with Walmart if I wanna cosplay.

I dunno. Maybe some used GrapheneOS with an app. I'm sure at least some just used the website.

I haven't personally used Wise, but it's one of the common payment methods on Robosats, and I know several people who have used it successfully to transfer funds.

If you're new, you probably don't want to rush into starting your own lightning node with Alby. You should start with a basic custodial wallet, like Minibits or Coinos.io, til you get the hang of sending and receiving lightning payments. When you start buying and accumulating larger amounts of Bitcoin, then you can look into a Lightning node with Alby or other providers.

OMG I was just thinking about this the other day! Somehow that song about a land called Hanaleigh got stuck on my head and I ended up replaying the movie in my head.

Yep, and we can just mute them. It's like they don't exist. And at the same time, I'm not pushing them off the platform.

Sounds pretty Orwellian to me. This is what happens when people who don't understand technology, or the fundamental right to privacy are put on positions of power. This clown can shove his digital ID straight up his Spanish ass. Not on Nostr.

I just setup my new Tapsigner with nostr:nprofile1qqsvxq03xdev3uxehjqcdkr5lfzl5vawmcf7vm6ps73m6ghwg8y4k2spz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqz9nhwden5te0dehhxarj9eekcmm5dpujuamfdcq3yamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wvuasnac, and the process couldn't have been easier. In under a minute I was able to create a new Tapsigner key, back it up, and assign it to a new wallet. That wallet now uses the Tapsigner as a single-signing key, requiring an NFC tap to send any coins.

The Tapsigner also works with multi-sig wallets, and can be combined with other hardware wallets/signers and software keys to authenticate a multi-sig send transaction. And it's only $20!

I think one of those cash register sounds would be cool.

That first one is a big one. Many, many people feel totally qualified to climb up on their soapbox and deliver a lecture when they clearly don't have all the facts. It's this aggressive instinct to demonstrate competence and knowledge. But if you don't actually have all the facts, you're just going to sound like an arrogant prick who doesn't know his ass from his elbow.
