Every time I try to get umbrel or start9 on a usb stick it tells me that the drive is not readable. But I’m able to open it fine and copy to it. Any idea what’s going on? Tried Rufus and Balena already on both Mac and PC.

FUCK EASY

I'm fed up with easy.

You don't want easy.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and one of said intentions is making things too easy.

Easy is staying on the couch.

Easy is not putting on your running shoes.

Easy is watching the porn, eating the junk food, binging the fucking stupid series.

Easy is not sticking out.

Easy is shutting up when you should be speaking out.

Easy is compliance.

Easy is saying the same thing, thinking the same thing, and liking the same thing as everyone else.

Easy is kicking the can down the road.

Easy is short-term gain for long-term losses.

Easy is starting up the money printer.

Easy is "papering over" failures.

Easy is "This is too hard. This is not for me. Someone else should take care of it."

Easy is not educating yourself.

Easy is not taking responsibility.

Easy is trusting a third party.

Easy is not holding your own keys.

Easy is comfortable.

Easy is not having to think.

Easy is not having to understand.

Easy is the coddling of the mind.

Doing things right is hard. Understanding things right is hard too. As is changing the status quo. But there's no improvement without change, no change without pain.

Fuck easy.

Have you ever been so mad with how horrible a movie was that you were super excited about, that you spent two months writing 200 pages of an entirely different script and laying out casting ideas for it until you felt it was “fixed”?

Guess the movie (don’t be greedy, repost so others can play 🤣) and I’ll zap 21,000 sats

One of the themes in Leviathan Wakes by James S. A, Corey is the conflict between candid communication and carefully massaged communication at scale. Which do you think is right when emotions are on the line. Does it change when lives are on the line? I would like to say that more candid communication is better, but I can definitely see an argument for that not being the case. The status quo on social media is generally un-massaged.

Low cost of kilograms to orbit is one of the fundamental innovations needed to do lots of things. Populating and manufacturing in earth orbit, Venus, Mars, the asteroid belt..

We live in a comically deep gravity well, which makes moving mass to space so hard that believe it or not many predicted we’d never even get to space.

In a few minutes we might see the biggest step toward that direction in a while. Maybe!

I must not fear. Fear is the *freedom*-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. nostr:note1hjl4qqfm45glwacm4lf4xt68klxv7uulaaafqtp3hjuaj8zd6rrsqh468t
