Antennapod. I like that it's open source and reliable. I like what Fountain.fm is trying to do, but god is it buggy.
"Remember when a Roomba recorded a lady on the toilet, and images from the video ended up on Facebook? It's the type of horror story that rarely happens, yet once is enough to make you second-guess the smart home products you bring into your personal spaces forever.
That's why I was so intrigued by Thursday's announcement of Matic. It's an upcoming robot vacuum and mop that has been in development for six years by ex-Google Nest engineers Mehul Nariyawala and Navneet Dalal. It stands out from other consumer options because of the privacy it offers. The device doesn't require a connection to the Internet or cloud and performs all processing on-device."

Perhaps the same tech could be used to create a private / anonymous stablecoin without the KYC/AML limitations.
"We explore the feasibility of a (fiat) stablecoin that provides cash-like privacy while enforcing compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) regulation. Such a privacy-oriented stablecoin solution does not exist today. We demonstrate, based on concepts developed in Gross et al. (2021) in the context of a CBDC, how users can exchange small amounts of value with a (fiat) stablecoin within pre-assigned limits outside the view of third parties, such as banks, central banks, crypto exchanges, regulators, or other parties, in a regulatorily compliant way.

"Without venture funding, SimpleX Chat would not exist
In 2022 I raised funds for SimpleX Chat from several angel investors and an early stage VC fund Village Global 1. They believe that everybody will want communication privacy, and that SimpleX Chat will become a communication platform that provides it, profitably, solving a decade-old problem of tech businesses abusing privacy of their users.
It enabled our team 2 to continue working full time, and to pay for a security audit done by Trail of Bits, one of the best security consultancies in the world 3.
When we announced this funding, the community response was polarized: while most people were excited about us having the funds to continue the development, some critics stated that venture funding is incompatible with privacy and the need to make profit creates a conflict of interest with users’ privacy.
We discovered that in the same way majority of people ignore their privacy, regardless how much it costs them 4, many people in privacy community believe some damaging myths – both groups equally preventing privacy from becoming a norm."
-- Evgeny Poberezkin, Founder of Simplex.chat

BusKill utilizes a magnetic trip-wire that tethers your body to your laptop. If you suddenly jump to your feet or fall off your chair (in response to the battering ram crashing through your door) or your laptop is ripped off your table by a group of armed thugs, the data bus' magnetic connection will be severed. This event causes a configurable trigger to execute.
The BusKill trigger can be anything from:
locking your screen or
shutting down the computer or
initiating a self-destruct sequence

Jacob's Ladder - it feels like a waking nightmare; the "shiver" special effect is quite disturbing
Hereditary - a certain death is not shown on camera, but its after effects are horrifying
Requiem for a Dream - Don't do opiates or speed, kids.
The Ring - The premise is silly and dated ("Watch a spooky videotape and you'll die seven days later"), but the visuals are unsettling, and Naomi Watts does a great job of selling the growing fear of a rational woman being pursued by a malevolent spirit.

"Resolvr is a first attempt at... a [decentralized] bounty adjudicator for the Free Open-Source Software community, without which open-source protocols cannot grow and flourish.
Resolvr provides assurances to developers that they will be paid if their work satisfies the bounty criteria. It does this by
removing discretion from grantors,
crowdsourcing review with an independent developer panel, and
automating enforcement of the panel’s decision.
And by delegating review to a crowdsourced panel, Resolvr removes barriers to entry for grantors and donors, thereby democratizing and further decentralizing FOSS funding."

Nice work, thank you!
Can you remove the "Nostr note made by npub" or make it optional? I think it becomes irritating to readers if it's on every tweet. Also, ideally, the njump me link would go to an njump for the nostr post, not my profile.
Google is so powerful that we don't often think to look at other reference resources. Here's a few of them:
www.refseek.com - search engine for academic resources. More than a billion sources: encyclopedias, monographs, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - search for the content of 20 thousand world libraries. You will find out where is the closest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific journals on bioscience published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related sciences.
www.science.gov - American government search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.
www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. More than 225 million names have been declared.
www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful searches for academic research texts. More than 100 million scientific papers, 70% of them are free
New to nostr, and enjoying exploring the wide variety of apps available.
As I understand it, nostr posts are stored in a number of relays, and as long as at least one relay is storing it, your content will be available.
However, if no relays are storing it, then it will disappear. You can host your own relay, and broadcast your own content, but that's not done by default.
I would like to store my notes more permanently.
Most storage networks (such as filecoin, sia, and storj) require ongoing payments to store your data.
However, the arweave network is designed to store notes for at least 200 years for a one time fee. The fee acts like an endowment fund that generates enough interest to cover the estimated cost of storage (given very conservative estimates about the future cost of storage).

LBRY, Inc. is shutting down:
https://forkast.news/lbry-shuts-down-operations/
How to archive Odyssee / LBRY:
ARCHIVE THIS POST (SCREENSHOT, SAVE AS .TXT), SUBS ARE BANNED DAILY.
Assumptions: Prior experience having installed Linux within VirtualBox once before, understanding of OpSec and consequences of possession of files within your jurisdiction (Be in USA or other free place).
Notes: The LBRY desktop client seeds/shares content out, if you do not like this, pay attention during its first run to the prompt and ensure it is closed when you are finished from the notification/app tray. This stated, sharing is caring and the service cannot operate for free this is why this tutorial is intended for SHTF purposes only, if everyone runs out and downloads 100GB of files when they normally would download 1GB it may be problematic.
Install VirtualBox (virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)
Create a VM for Xubuntu, Debian or other AppImage supporting distros (xubuntu.org/download), allocate 100GB+ if you intend to archive every channel (Double the number you think*)
Set power settings within VM/Linux and Host/Windows to never go to sleep.
Download, mark as executable (chmod +x command or permissions page of file properties) and run the .AppImage for LBRY (lbry.com/linux), minimize it.
Navigate to https://github.com/belikor/lbrydseed/releases/, download, mark as executable and run the .Appimage for lbrydseed from CLI/Terminal as it has output (Open terminal, navigate to downloads directory, type “./lbrydseed*”, hit enter).
Load up on “minecraft” channels from the "En Bloc Press developer index" and elsewhere (Black Lotus Coalitions "Updated Odysee GunCAD list"), make a list of all channels you want by handle with number of items desired “@example, 5” , “@example, 100” ([censored])
Put the terminal window on one half of the screen, navigate to the download tab and download channel tab. Set the download directory or leave as is. Fill out input at bottom of GUI with Odysee channels. Click validate input, ensure terminal output looks okay. Click resolve online, ensure terminal output looks okay. Check boxes for “download original claims”, “save the media files” and “place media inside subdirectory”. Click download channel claims button and walk away from the PC for a few hours (Or until the next day). Photo example: 
(No naughty channels listed)
*Note: By default lbrdyseed will create a pile of subdirectories within your Downloads folder by channel name. It will also have an equal amount of data within the lbry file structure for the purposes of sharing within the client (e.g. /home/USERNAME/.local/share/lbry/lbrynet/blobfiles/). This is why it’s imperative that you have double the space needed as it is saving two copies (One user useable, one LBRY client useable)
Bury 100 USB drives of the files in the back 40 in a sealed PVC pipe packed with silica gel.
Smile when a news anchor or journalist says something stupid about banning files.
