How would I know if I am a bot, or not? Was 莊子 right? Possibly the worst when I converse.

"Unique Visitors" is usually defined per a time period: daily, monthly, or session (generally 30 minutes).

Without further details, if I had to guess, I'd say monthly, but I'm just a random stranger on the Internet, what do I know?

Also, zapote blanco. All 3 are pretty amazing when frozen—basically ice cream.

Too soon to use Nu for bitcoin yet — I see no bitcoin integration in their Mexican mobile app yet. Hopefully their devs are working on it and it will be available soon.

They do however offer 14.5% APY on MXN holdings — 15% if you lock it up for 4 weeks. I guess Nu get a lot of yield from their 99.9% APR on their credit card (not a misprint: 99.9% APR! sheesh! And I thought 20% was bad!), and share a fraction of it in exchange for collateralizing their business. Credit costs in Latin America are crazy. I guess the banks justify it by high default rates, but there appears to be a fair amount of egregious usury happening, usury which has long been outlawed in developed economies.

Rambling further:

Bitso doesn't appear to support the Lightning network (yet). I hope they get with it! It's really not practical to transfer BTC amounts below 2000 MXN without Lightning, in my opinion. So the UX flow would have to be accumulating greater amounts, then xfer to Bitso via an on-chain BTC TX, then withdrawing in pesos. No bueno. If that changes, or I'm wrong about this, I'll follow up with another post.

Nu, on the other hand, just put out a joint press release with Lightspark, announcing their support for Lightning transfers. I haven't tried it, if I do I'll follow up with another post.

Ha, then neither of those debit cards have their own ATMs, so I'd expect about 20 pesos in fees for cash withdrawals. A better alternative would be to have a brick-and-mortar bank account (like BBVA or Banamex) and use SPEI to send pesos from Nu to that bank for ATM withdrawals. SPEI is fast, unlike US ACH.

Unfortunately he needs to first make a pit stop in a US Pacific island colony, err, "Commonwealth", to perform a ritual of submission with the US Court system, which has promised to release him with a sentence of "time served" in return for Assange pleading guilty to one count of "illegally obtaining and disclosing national security material."

But yes, eventually he goes home.

To spell it out: Nostr over LoRa. OK, what is LoRa? Long-range, low power, local OR wide area network, often associated with the Internet of Things (IoT) concept. Lots of buzzwords, but my take away is LoRa is a possibly a way to move the means of Internet communication, or at least last-mile communication, from giant mega corporations, ISPs and mobile telecom companies to DIY communities and individuals. So Nostr is a natural fit. Good idea!

What is it? Is it a bramble? Rubus? Are the drupes edible? How about the leaves? Sure is pretty!

[you] Teach

Your children well

Their father's hell

Did slowly go by

Feed

Them on your dreams

The one they pick

Is the one you'll know by

You

Who are on the road

Must have a code

That you can live by

And so

Become yourself

Because the past

Is just a goodbye

In this situation I would typically run:

lsof | grep deleted

to see if a process had held open a file descriptor for a deleted file. Sounds like whatever it was resolved itself without your intervention, but if it doesn't I know which process I need to stop or restart in order to reclaim disk space.

5 weeks out, the frontrunner Claudia Sheinbaum — leading the opposition candidate Xochitl Gálvez in the polls by 20% — believes she has the sexennial Mexican presidential elections in the bag.

What do you think about the supposed advertising truism "there's no such thing as bad publicity"?
