I love seeing new CPRs (Centralized Platform Refugees) come over to Nostr.

I love the initial enthusiasm as the realization hits that this protocol is radically different from everything they are used to.

I love the nonstop note-posting when they first join.

But…

Sadly, many do not last.

They can’t get the same dopamine fix on Nostr that the centralized platforms deliver so effectively…

They are free, and yet they yearn to return to their cage.

But that’s okay. Everyone is free to do what they want, and Nostr will be here (and better than ever) when they eventually return. And they WILL return.

So, cheers to those of you that continue showing up on Nostr every single day, posting your thoughts, sharing your lives, sharing your art, sharing your music, sharing your podcasts, sharing your memes, sharing your feet, hosting meatspace conferences, and engaging in meaningful conversations with this small but powerful network.

You know who you are 🫂

And of course, cheers to the people who make all of this possible: the developers who write the code that allows all of us to have this incredible experience

Nostr is just getting started.

Hello fellow cryptology enthusiasts

did some more minor changes to nostr.land, should have even better performance now

just 4k sats/month :)

Your life will change in a myriad of ways simply by cooking all your meals.

Dark roast does not mean stronger, it is actually weaker in terms of caffeine. It tends toward a more burnt taste but may have more chocolate overtones than light.

Light roast preserves the natural fruity aromas of the coffee and has the highest caffeine concentration.

Complaining about something is not the same as doing something about something.

Well, I think that's kind of my point, it wouldn't be redundant, it would be primary. When buying or building a house "How does it generate its own power?" Would be a much more commonplace question. 12, 100AH 48V LiFePo batteries, 20, 400W solar panels, BMS, Charge Controllers, and 2, 3-phase inverters. That comes to about $23,000 if included in sales price or build cost it's much more reasonable than retrofitting a house not optimized for its own power generation. Every rural house could do this and even send excess energy back to the grid( If they don't want to use some of that sweet sun energy for BTC mining.) Decentralization strengthens every system you apply it to, if done correctly. Don't be a survivalist, connect with others, but take care of yourself first.

No love for NixOS? :( I really like it, the ability to tweak and define actually working towards a repeatable build and being able to rollback if things go poorly. Great system IMHO and worth a look.

I’m going to make a concerted effort to move from Mac to Linux. I ran Debian way back in the day, so I’m comfortable with the tricky bits.

Much has changed since. Should I go Fedora, Ubuntu, or embrace hard mode with Arch? #asknostr

I think the answer is that having your own solar, wind or geothermal(where applicable) as your own private energy node should be more common. We should provide our own food, water, and energy and only suppliment with stores, water mains, and grids when absolutely necessary. That way mini-reactors could be in every city and town and not have to scale up because the citizens provide 70-95% themselves.

It doesn't "Need" to be separate. The thing that matters is your worker: 'bc1....123' needs to be the address that signs the message OCEAN generates from your Lightning Bolt12 offer. The worker can be your on chain address for your Lightning node BUT you'd have to enter your seed phrase into electrum, or sparrow or some othe wallet software that can sign a message. Core Lightning doesn't have that functionality. After signing the message in that software you can paste it into Ocean's config page.

If we went nuclear, would there need to be a plant on every county, or a plant in every state? I've not researched this but I've never heard of a nuclear plant that could service like 10-100 homes which to me would be as decentralized as it gets unless you can have 1 per household.

What's the issue? Happy to help

Just incase you messed up where I did. The signature verification has to be from the BTC address you identify your worker as. So in sparrow, lets say, you'd have to highlight that specific address, right click then paste the message, sign it, the copy and paste the signed message back on the Ocean config page. (I was trying to sign with the On-chain address from my lightning node). I hope this helps.

Doesn't nuclear require centralization? Geothermal would be more decentralized, right?

He ate all your purchasing power. What do you do?

Had my surgery and released from the hospital

Finally, I'm able to start healing
