Supporting a decentralised future of sound money and technology. Study Bitcoin. Run a node! ITM!

Collecting Obtainium apps is fun. Hopefully more devs will add the ability in the future.

Entering the mines with a tiny little pick axe. Is getting orange lung a thing?

Going through some of my music collection tonight and played a song from a rare jem of an EP album from Craig's Brother and I wanted to share. For those of you like some melodic punk / rock (I love stuff that has vocal harmonies and layered guitars). From 2004 and still as relevant as back then. (Video should start at track 4 [9:46], lyrics below)

Song: E.P.Issdumbology

Give me headlines that grab

And shocking detail

Hide the facts in section E

Where no one will see

I can't tell which is news

And which is retail

It all looks the same to me

And it's said with urgency

So it must be true

And you must accept it from their point of view

You better hop on board, or miss the grand parade

And that's how consent is made

From the manifold masses

So long as the man gets paid

No one will question

Offering thrills in trade

And that's how money's made

Who can tell between fact

And rash assumption

When the word comes down the wire?

Those who propagate fear

Promote mass consumption

All the publishers desire

So the proof is not required

If you don't think it's true

Then there must be something screwed up with you

Because everyone else has joined the big charade

And that's how consent is made

From the millions of morons

So long as the bill gets paid

No one will question

Offering thrills in trade

And that's how money's made

We don't need an excuse anymore

We can bend half truths and fabricate a war

If the details don't pan out

We can smash all those who doubt

So it must be true

And you must bow down to the Red, White and Blue

You better hop on board and join the great crusade

And that's how consent is made

From the millions of morons

So long as the bill gets paid

No one will question

Offering thrills in trade

And that's how money's made [x3]

That's how money is made

It gets paid

It's a downward spiral

I don't want to pay the price

Even if the accuracy is a little off, right?

I have used that and it works well. Just would be nice to expand the content of the follows feed in Amethyst. It's one way to find new content of different topics without going full global. Heh.

Well she's a investigative journalist, so that's what she's there to talk about. She does really indepth research. Her books give so much detail they're a bit exhausting, but really that's what it takes to make the arguments.

nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z Would it be possible to get a home page feed option for all follows + their follows? 🙂 Is there a way to do this that I'm not aware of?

if you're still using google forms in a world where https://formstr.app exists, you are the nostr equivalent of a shotcoiner

Nice work on this! It's really clean and easy to use. Feels easier to work on the admin side than Google Forms. I will definitely use this the next time I need a form (hopefully soon).

I have a suggestion. Site needs a text link for donations. ;)

Didn't know this existed. Use forms a few times a year so this will be on my radar for next time. Can people fill it out without an account?

It's part of the other stuff. The other stuff being habit. 😄

My hotspot has 35G per month of data.

My server has 2 TB per month.

The data frugal way to listen to nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy RHR # 292,

is to download the 1GB video to the server, process it with ffmpeg to 24kbs .opus, then download the resulting 15mb audio file with the hotspot.

Ive got it automated and simple.

The internet revolves around an always on, big pipe paradigm. But the majority of the world doesnt have this. have to be clever to get around it.

youd be amazed what you can do with a single 5 dollar VPS. you can even share one with friends. which really makes it fun.

On this note, maybe zap.stream could use a low bandwidth or audio only option for those with bad connectivity. (this is still a problem in north america too)

So what do you think about how it's changed? Which interfaces are you trying out?
