I've been noticing how a surprising number of non-bitcoin related projects accept #bitcoin donations. FreeBSD does, as does RetroPie (a custom OS for playing retro games on a Raspberry Pi). And they're often BTC only, no shitcoins. Actually pretty encouraging to see adoption by non-cypherpunk types.

It's a shame that Wikipedia stopped accepting it. I've donated to them in the past so I still get nag emails from them - I reply to them every time along the lines of "accept bitcoin and I'll gladly send you some sats every month". I did actually get a reply last time and they pointed out that it was a vote of community members that basically told the Foundation to stop accepting "crypto" donations (71% of votes!). If you view the discussion (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Stop_accepting_cryptocurrency_donations) pretty much all the arguments were environmental. We really need to get on top of the mining energy use narrative.

Let's go! Love adding storage to my NAS even when it's not even remotely full yet.

Wait no that's the quarterly number - it's actually 0.8 hours so my hyperbolic guess was incredibly close 🀣

Just watched this fantastic video essay about the Chinese "social credit" system and how basically everything reported on it in the West is BS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqov6F00KMc #grownostr
