How much will a new battery (and maybe a UPS?) cost?
GM Nostr, it’s been a while. The “9 to 5 death spiral” has me in it’s teeth.
But maybe not for much longer. I gave my day job an ultimatum of sorts: either give me a raise to match local cost of living, pay me in bitcoin, or accept my resignation. They chose the last option.
I’ve got several months to figure out my next move. It’s looking like consulting might be a viable option, though while not the most stable, it would leave me time for self improvement and Bitcoin shenanigans…
Shamelessly stolen from Twitter: 
Stream Deck or similar for switching between cameras/scenes?
Nostr apps on iOS have been a dumpster fire since Apple decided zaps break their TOS. Damus, while buggy, has been the best for me and has stayed my daily driver. I’ve played with “Nostur” but I don’t know how much I trust it.
Some favourites of mine (hopefully pasting their npubs works):
Sovtoshi: nostr:npub19ex4k26qhjlnvqdmwzagmhk6epxkz7z5the57n4kthfu0t6g8r8sz5yyr9
Julian Figueroa: nostr:npub1h882a66p0zj5n69s2u8nfzev4f97lzfnlcej84z78p6uqxge5tpqlupz20
Ben Justman: nostr:npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8
In the second one, it feels like the runner is fighting, and winning, against the hard metal and road that are trying to strangle him. It feels like victory and hope.
🙋♂️ I'll be at Defcon! A meetup would be groovy.
Yup! Am looking forward to playing "spot the Bitcoiners" 😉
GM #coffeechain. Still trying to recover a bit before heading off to Defcon.

Listening to the Ready Player One audiobook again. The author describes the pretend virtual world being an escape from a dystopian real world. It’s a videogame that becomes people’s reality.
Isn’t that the same as social media in our world? It starts as an escape, but becomes a consuming reality for some.
I like to think I use it as a communication tool that augments physical reality instead.
And that’s what I like about protocols like Nostr. You can shape your usage of it to be whatever you like. Want a short-form text post platform? Sure. Want to advertise your business? Done. Want to show off vacation pics? Yup. Blogging platform? No one can stop you. It’s whatever you shape it to be.
GM #coffeechain, stay healthy so you can enjoy caffeine without cheating 😅 
I think this the the most Canadian thing I’ve done in a while.

I still haven’t found a place local to me that knows what tallow is 😭
