JAM? Liquid? Lightning?

Tailscale and LNC are a total game changer!

Trust is the ultimate value. If you can’t trust your partner 100%, your relationship is doomed. Find someone you can trust absolutely, communicate with, share respect and care for each other, and everything else tends to work out.

Tailscale using an exit node at home should work for this? Haven’t tested myself but seems like it should and Tailscale is super easy/free.

A story that illustrates why I will never orange pill anyone ever again.

2015- Attempt to orange pill friend multiple times. No dice. Totally uninterested.

2019- He asks me if now is a good time to get into bitcoin. ā€œIt’s always a good timeā€. I set him up with a HW wallet and tell him DCA and chill.

2019- Friend calls me a few months later, he wants to put the down payment money for his house into bitcoin, but he’s nervous. I say no worries I will backstop your investment. What’re friends for?! I want you to succeed. He now has a no risk investment. Financed by me.

2020: Friend is doing well. Has been stacking hard and has 2 coins. A great stack for his income.

2021: He starts watching cringey YouTube videos about shitcoin trading. Gets into a private telegram, trades his 2 bitcoin into 4 and then gets rug pulled and loses everything.

2021: He’s near suicidal, very dark times. He doesn’t tell me anything because he knows I warned him about trading and thinks I’ll be disappointed in him. Finally he tells me. I help him get a personal loan so he can take advantage of the remainder of the bull run. He sells at 55k and manages to break even. He’s not up but he’s got his house money back.

2023: We’re out drinking with some other friends from high school. He expresses some jealousy towards me in a semi awkward fashion. ā€œEvery time I see this dude (me) I think about bitcoin.ā€

2024: I meet up with him so the kids can play at the park. Vibe is off. Lots of insecurity and tension. They’re going on a trip to San Diego and I ask if they might go to the zoo while there. ā€œI can’t afford that. That’s for rich people like youā€. Odd interaction, but I shake it off.

2024: A few weeks later he gets drunk and hits on my wife via text messages. She shows me immediately and I confront him. He’s like ā€œsorry bro I was drunk I didn’t mean itā€. I tell him off and make clear this is the last time we will ever speak.

No good deed goes unpunished. I could not have been nicer to this dude and more helpful along the way and he is fully consumed by envy towards me.

Unfortunate.

Thanks for sharing such a personal story. Shame that he couldn’t take responsibility for his actions and let his envy ruin a relationship with someone who has tried to help him. Hitting on someone’s wife though…not in high school anymore, that’s crazy.

Would like to give a shoutout to nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 and nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l. Have sent messages to a few different ā€œlargerā€ Nostr accounts about various things, and these two are the ones who took time out of their busy days to help and/or respond to someone they don’t know. Appreciate the responses and genuineness! Can be disheartening to not hear back from people (obviously no one has a responsibility to engage with a random person), but it’s nice when someone does.

Yea I can’t figure out how to use that bunker address within npub.cash. How’d you do this @calle šŸ‘ļøāš”šŸ‘ļø ?

nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 is it possible to connect/open a channel from the embedded node to a remote Tor node (ie personal Umbrel node)? I have hybrid node enabled but suspect it isn’t working for clearnet despite that.

Has been really cool to see how far Nostr has come in such a short time, appreciate the hard work of the devs and people spreading information on freedom tech!

Ooni is so legit, really takes homemade pizza to another level.

The adult gaming backlog is so real.
