Many people in the space are far too confident about their competency in cyber security. I've worked in it full time for years, I involve myself in lab training and I am still sure I know very little.

Cryptocurrencies being associated with hackers in pop culture is to mostly blame for this. Using a couple apps and a HWW gets people over their heads. Growing anti-intellectualism by influencers (grifters offering to teach you better than a degree or an industry vet), unvetted GenAI content and a purity test mindset harms the movement.

People are too confident to go against what every major company security team says. Working in technology doesn't immediately qualify someone as cyber security aware, never mind an expert.

People always make basic mistakes. Cryptocurrency companies and people get pwned all the time.

It's somewhat deceptively static, permiated by dramatic events. We are at the end of the last, most recent static phase,, and, unlike some who like to use fancy words:

tldr Switzerland has generous amounts of underground infrastructure to support their population. The next cosmic event climax is predicted to be in 10-15 years*,, although we are already seeing low-latitude aurora, and the touchdown of a phenomena over the iberian peninsula, etc. And -

A massive clean-up operation of corruption. We cannot viably go through this reset, without cleansing millennia-old parasitism and corruption from our (all species of hominid on earth) ranks. To me it makes total sense; I can see it clearly every day, and am only disappointed it's not already done. Tldr you don't want to survive an apocalypse with karens with multiple co-morbidities, telling you to 'put your fabric face covering on', or they will suffer. You also don't want or need the type that has been complicit in deliberately driving their insanity with you, either.

An early, obvious phase was allowing those lower ranks to MAID. There are many other operations going on in an unconventional warfare set-up. As I said, for me personally, there is frustration it's not already done, tempered with the realization it's on-going.

*As to the time-period: since Maynard E White's core samples and analysis and otber archeological digs by other groups which I won't name as yet, to stay focused, they've known to a great deal of precision, the signs and dates. If you think based on the outcome of a panel discussing the pros and cons of revealing NHI was net negative, imagine telling everyone the world is about to end.

if the goal is to store material conveniently (as a whole) and broadcast widely, a binary blob of verifiable packets would do much better than a garbeled mess of text attached to a signature to check against. for example, a relay would have to send the whole note before a book could ever render, whereas some pdfs can load a partial book and resume half-way through downloading.

sending an ebook through nip23 would be like sending an mp3 on FM radio. kinda going backwards here even though it's all "just text"

nip23 is great for blogging

i still think its cool that you want to bring markdown books onto nostr though

Form over function?

It’s text, no need to turn it into a binary blob

yeah, nostr's replacement for any online library is probably NIP35 torrent posts, not NIP23 long text

why turn books into markdown when theres formats dedicated to render books already?

storying books as nip-23 events doesnt seem very pratical, especially books with images, charts, footnotes/citations something that book formats handle really well

using comics as an example of reading material that couldnt work as markdown, a nostr reading app could look something like tachiyomi/mihon (a comic/manga reader) where instead of connecting to directories of hosted sources it'd just be a list of npubs reading off notes pointing where the content is hosted instead 🤔

ADHD: The ultimate DRM bypass.

in related news, i cant believe libgen is still down 🥲

libgen over nostr with books hosted on blossm servers would be amazing

Didn’t know it was locking down kindles

I'm really confused about people being upset about Amazon locking down kindles. Do they not know libgen exists? Or that you can airplane mode your device, stop updating, and disconnect your account. You can have all the beautiful e-books you could ever want. For free. Without spying or greed.

I guess there is the argument that "piracy is bad". But last time I checked, spying on all my data and selling it to the government so they can get around the fourth amendment with a pile of money they printed out of thin air + my tax dollars paying for it isn't cool either, so I wasn't planning to support those companies anyway..

I have ADHD.

I often meet other people who have it who seem to think it’s a bad thing or feel ashamed of it.

Which i don’t relate to at all because I love being ADHD. It’s my superpower.

I remember getting diagnosed when was like 7 and they couldn’t figure out if I was retarded or a genius. Then the results came back and they were like turns out he’s a retarded genius lol

The key when you have ADHD is to only do things that interest you and not spend a single second doing things that don’t interest you.

Now I know you’re like “but Hodl, as an adult you have to do things that are boring and uninteresting in order to live”

Nope. Not true my friend.

Somebody has to do them, but not you.

I let other people do that shit… wife, business partners, lawyers, accountants etc…

If you have an ADHD brain you have a superpower that others don’t have.

The ability to lock in on something with hyper focus.

Other people don’t have that.

That’s rare.

Don’t give up your rare thing in order to do average boring mundane bullshit.

Let the neurotypical’s handle that.

GE everyone! 💜

As already shared, our next meetup will take place on March 15th in Konstanz! We’ve found a charming little space that we can use for the whole day, and we still have 3 spots left! 🏡✨

The plan? We’ll kick off at 10 AM and let the day flow naturally into an open end. We’ll go for a walk and later round off the evening in a cozy restaurant. 🌿🍽️ Bad weather won’t be a problem – we’ll make the most of the day either way!

The cost per participant is 45€, covering the full-day space rental and everything we need for a great time together.

From our last meetups, we’ve learned that deep conversations are the golden thread connecting us all. We’re beyond excited to see where this gathering takes us and can’t wait for all the inspiring exchanges ahead! 💬💫

If you feel like sharing something with the group, whether it’s a short talk or an idea, go for it! No pressure, just an open space. 🎙️

If you’re interested, let us know! We’d love to have you there. 🎉
