nostr:npub1ulv87e4aqd4wwc97kakn6cpenjvrv6zl8rh396s2ufhns9aanzfs4puzvk Just checking if I put in an order now, you can deliver on the 16th of Dec? Would I put it as a "delivery insrtuction". ? Cheers 😃 Stoked to try your produce!
I feel like I spent a lot of my life looking for that place on the internet where I could really spend time with who I chose, I could send or receive money freely, where our networks were actually ours, where we could share files and media without censorship, and I could keep my entire digital life connected and accessible without some huge centralized corporation controlling or watching everything I did.
There were many attempts and half solutions along the way. They were all promising, but always failed to cross some critical barrier, or died due to lack of motivation or funding.
I feel like after all that time I have not only found it, but there are actually multiple solutions that genuinely work, all emerging at the same time.
• I live on a bitcoin standard, I can zap people whenever I want from my own personal node that’s currently 180 miles away and it’s as fast and responsive as any other app I use.
• I use a fully P2P and encrypted chat app more than basically any other for work and personal chat.
• I’m working on an application that will finally make sending and receiving files as simple, intuitive, and as private as it always should have been. And I’m really just building it for me.
• I spend most of my social time on #Nostr with no complicated setup or constant technical issues to fight with. Everyday it just works and I post my GMs for all the other autists to see.
• The UI and experience of these is basically what I would expect with most paid products today, in fact a lot of “traditional” products or those I pay for are annoying as shit.
• I own my profile and contact list.
• I have a stupid simple full backup of everything I’ve posted. The number of times I’ve been gatekept by a service or app I use so I couldn’t take my shit off of it is almost unbelievable.
• I can ⚡️zap people freely all day and I don’t even think about it. Nothing more than a tap and sats are delivered instantly.
• I use genuine digital, sound, global money without third parties, no inflation, no censorship, and that no state on earth controls. I jump over to a fiat integrated service built by bitcoiners just to get a debit card and be able to spend fiat during the month. The dollar system is literally just at the edge of my monetary world, it is no longer the center.
Things that I’ve wanted for most of my life are actually here and I’m actually using them. And on top of this, we’ve only really just begun to round the corners, simplify the onboarding, and unravel everything we can accomplish now that these tools exist for us.
And lastly, for the first time, it feels like I can’t be rugged from it all! There were so many promising options in the past that just got bought, repurposed, re-centralized, and “corporatized.” But it feels like the ecosystem now has too many open source tools, too much diversity, too many builders, more than I’ve seen with anything yet before it, such that it seems like that risk is more behind us than in front.
My son is gonna get to grow up in a better world, and it’s because of what everyone here has devoted themselves to and is building.
Time is a crazy thing. It always seemed like a distant dream back while I was discovering this entirely different vision of the future in the weird corners of the internet. I really only had my brother nostr:npub1ajv7m32k0cpgzha32qszsh304qusjvwwmavus0ttktzldms4xzusuftppj to share it with and make it feel like it was something that could be possible. That one day there’d be a huge community that wanted to build everything open source, open access, censorship resistant, decentralized, and private tools… I wondered if it was just me being naive, or if maybe one day people would start to see why it mattered and how great it could all be.
From the POV of that naive kid years ago, we are already here. And from the POV I have today, it’s going to get so much better.
This is what I’m thankful for. 🫡

any chance of an audiobook version that isn't amazon?
What can be, unburdened by what has been. Their discussion on the merits of Nostr is also pretty banger! https://primal.net/e/note1myawuxvc2lmwr6aqvntuz6uhxwszdfgd804wt3u9ewj3chdwuk4sl6hpwe
Thanks for this 😃
Just wondering how "Jack" is supposed to be a "bad actor"... I mean, anyone who can wear that Satoshi shirt better than he does would need to be one hell of an actor! 😝
We need to start a movement where nostriches collude to like these videos en-masse... Just to show it to "the algorithm". 😎

I just made my first batch of Paleo beef jerky and the results are so good that I thought I'd share it with you. My entire house smells of beef jerky right now and it's driving my dog crazy - poor thing.
## **What's Paleo?**
I'm not going to go into the details, but simply put it's a way of eating that best mimics the diets of our paleolithic hunter-gatherer ancestors - lean meats, seafood, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. If you're interested take a look here: [The Paleo Diet](http://thepaleodiet.com/).
I've been gradually getting more and more serious about eating a paleo diet as a lifestyle and wanted to see if I could find a recipe that I could use for making beef jerky that would be suitable = no soy sauce, besides other things. I was sent two really good examples of paleo jerky recipes from [@paleoonabudget](https://twitter.com/#!/paleoonabudget) via Twitter (love how social tools connect us) and thought that they both sounded good enough to try. Here they are: Food Lover's Kitchen [Beef Jerky](http://beta.primal-palate.com/recipe/beef-jerky/), and Jen's Gone Paleo [Really Tasty Beef Jerky](http://jensgonepaleo.blogspot.com/2011/02/really-tasty-beef-jerky-soy-free-gluten.html).
## **My Version**
Always one to tinker and hack with something, I adjusted and combined aspects from both recipes to come up with one that sounded good to me. Here's what I ended up with:
- Flank steak as lean as possible (grass-fed), trim any excess fat
- 1 cup raw coconut aminos (it's a substitute for soy sauce)
- 1 cup of organic apple juice (make sure there are no additives)
- 1 cup of pineapple juice (again, no additives)
- 1 tbsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tsp of paprika
- 1 tsp of garlic powder
- Lime juice (not in the marinade)
)Steak strips in the marinade.
I used a nice cut of flank steak (personal preference) and made sure to trim off all excess fat, although there was hardly any. I put the steak in the freezer for an hour or two to make slicing it into thin strips a little easier.
Then I put all of the other ingredients (the marinade) into a Pyrex dish and added the sliced steak pieces, making sure that all of the steak was covered or submerged. I think I topped up with a little extra of both juices. I covered this and put it in the fridge overnight.
## **Dehydrating - Making it Jerky!**
The next day (around noon) I removed the marinading steak from the fridge and let it drain through a small sieve for a minute or two to get the excess liquid off. No need to get my dehydrator into a big mess if I can easily avoid it. I used my old faithful [L'Equip 528 6-tray Dehydrator](https://amzn.to/3yJSB1Y). I love this machine!
)Steak strips on dehydrator tray.
I gave the entire batch of steak a heavy dose of freshly squeezed lime juice, all over. I was very heavy handed with the lime (thinking this would be my "secret sauce"). Then I arranged the pieces of steak onto the drying sheets (mine has six) making sure to leave a lot of room around each piece.
)Temperature dial on L'Equip.
I set the temperature gauge to half way between 125F and 153F (\~135F) and turned it on. At this point I went out to take care of some errands - nothing you would be interested in. When I got back a few hours later, I was greeted by the smell of beef jerky as I opened the front door - wow!
The jerky had been drying for about four hours while I was gone and much to my surprise was completely done. In fact it could have come out a little bit sooner to be even better, but that's my fault for going away and leaving it. When I make jerky using ground beef it takes a lot, lot, longer - more than twice as long.
)I hope you enjoy this recipe!
The end result is absolutely delicious. The combination of the fruit juices, coconut aminos and spices gives the steak an amazing, slightly citrus flavor. I wish you could try some, it's soooo good!
You should put this on zap.cooking ... Looks delicious... Damn, now I need a dehydrator 😝 🤣
