I vibe-coded castr.me to turn every npub into an RSS feed. I didn't even look at the code so it's probably bad and half-finished but it works and it's already useful to me.

Just putting this out there!!

Title: Red Gold Rush

Premise: In 2075, a cryptic signal from a derelict Mars rover hints at "gold plus"—mysterious hydrogen-enriched gold clusters buried in a volcanic rift. These aren’t just shiny nuggets; they’re a potential energy source that could power Earth’s grid or spark a galactic war. Enter Captain Jace "Lucky" Corrigan (Nathan Fillion), a roguish exobiologist-turned-treasure-hunter with a knack for trouble, and Dax Varn (Tom Hardy), a grizzled Martian colonist with a dark past and a custom drill rig. They’re hired by a shadowy xAI exec to find the gold plus before a ruthless corporate fleet (led by a cold-blooded AI) strips Mars bare.

The Adventure:

Act 1: Jace crashes his junker rover near Dax’s outpost, sparking a bar brawl over the last bottle of Martian synth-whiskey. The xAI contract forces them to team up, but trust is thinner than Mars’ atmosphere. They decode the rover’s data, pointing to Elysium Mons, a volcano rumored to hide ancient alien tech.

Act 2: Racing across crimson dunes in a souped-up rover, they dodge dust storms and corporate drones. Dax’s knowledge of Martian caves uncovers a glowing cavern where gold plus clusters pulse with eerie energy. But the hydrogen-rich material is unstable—touch it wrong, and it’s a mini-nuke. Cue Nathan’s quips: “So, it’s gold that bites back? My kinda payday.”

Act 3: Betrayals pile up—xAI’s exec wants the gold plus weaponized, and Dax’s past ties him to the corporate AI. Tom’s growling intensity shines as he wrestles with loyalty; Nathan’s charm keeps the team from fracturing. They rig the cavern to blow, luring the fleet into a trap. Final shot: Jace and Dax, battered but grinning, watch the corporate ships crash in a fiery Martian sunset, gold plus safe—for now.

Vibes & Visuals:

Nathan Fillion’s Jace is all smirks and sarcasm, with a patched-up spacesuit and a knack for hacking ancient rovers. Think Mal Reynolds with a PhD.

Tom Hardy’s Dax is brooding, scarred, and handy with a plasma cutter, muttering lines like, “Mars don’t care ‘bout your dreams, mate. It’ll eat ‘em.”

The Martian landscape is stark reds and deep shadows, with glowing gold plus veins lighting up caves like neon. Think Blade Runner meets Treasure Planet.

Action beats: Rover chases through canyons, zero-g fights in a collapsing mine, and a desperate hack to stop the AI’s orbital strike.

Why It Works: Nathan’s wit and Tom’s raw intensity bounce off each other perfectly—think buddy-cop energy in spacesuits. The "gold plus" MacGuffin blends hard science (hydrogen-adsorbed gold’s instability) with sci-fi stakes (alien energy source?). Mars itself is a character—unforgiving, mysterious, and hiding secrets older than humanity.

Things in Europe have been super chilled and laid back until the COVID flex. However, the majority of people are super brainwashed.

The UK has been totally decimated and sacrificed on the alter of socialism though.

Europe is in full on 1984 mode and hardly anyone seems to care.

Digital assets farmed from immutable nostr storage could be a good form of back up for well .. lots of things. What's that site archive dot org? Heck I could probably build a DNS server in nostr.

Wait

hey NOSTR, how do you emotionally handle being betrayed/conned by a really close family member? and not being able to share specifics with anyone else due to legal reasons?

struggling with this right now.
