I haven't figured out the Bitcoin Lightning wallet stuff yet.

Thanks for trying though!

I appreciate it. 😀

Probably a good trade.

"Timed One Time Passwords" can be used with lots of different software. At first, I thought I could only used Google Authenticator, but later realized that it is an open standard.

I now use OTPclient on LinuxMint, but I also recommend KeePassXC, which can be used cross-platform.

Here's a guide:

Use the tools that work for you.

My opinions on "AI" are super biased, as you can probably tell.

I consider it dangerous to build your programming workflow around a tool controlled by BigTech.

Most "AI" for helping write code is nearly useless. And a lot of it is straight up fake, for scamming investors.

Insist on running it locally on your own machine, if at all, but you'll probably find that trying to use "AI" is a waste of time.

Not all encryption technologies are created equal.

Microsoft Bitlocker is such a pain to deal with as a computer repairman.

It would be one thing if people knew what it was and that it was enabled on their computer, but usually the user of the computer is clueless and doesn't even know their drive is encrypted until something goes wrong.

And the keys are held by Microsoft in their cloud account. At least they are usually recoverable.

I'm not afraid of "AI".

My take on it is that it is mostly being used right now as a financial scam by BigTech. Most of the things that are promoting as "AI" products are not useful or profitable, but they are using the hype to boost stock prices, sell portions of their shares and enrich themselves. It's a confidence game to get profits from investors who follow the news, but don't understand the practicality of the technology.

"AI" may not be completely fake, but it is mostly a scam.

Good morning. 😀

Better to actually purchase real goods or services.

Beef, eggs and cheese for my breakfast this morning.

I used to make omelets, but I've found that putting some left over ground beef in the pan, warming that up with some butter, then cracking four eggs over that and just slightly spreading them out, salt, the pepper jack cheese (or cheddar) on top of that and let it slowly cook on low heat. In cast iron, of course. The right size pan helps. I think I use an 8 inch when doing this.

Keep being a pain!

Well done for wanting to support individuals, small businesses and the peer-to-peer economy.

We need more of this.

If you don't find a vendor soon, feel free to reach out to me and I could be the bridge. I don't keep phone cases in stock, but could source and send one to you.

You could look on https://based.win ... unlikely that shop has the specific phone case you are looking for, though.

It likely can be now with some kind of RSS bridge to nostr.

The Logic:

Have a program that follows all the RSS feeds of the people you'd like to see, read or hear from

That program converts the RSS feed items to nostr posts that include the RSS data and publishes them to a relay you self host or are connected to

You have a client that looks for those posts and displays them in an ordered way using the nostr-fied RSS data.

Likely there are already people doing something similar. I am fairly new to nostr, so haven't seen it yet.

Well done.

I also use ffmpeg but there's always more tricks to learn and possibilities.

I guess set up my own lightning address. I'm new to this.

Can do my own research, but thought I'd ask.

I wanted to use my own domain name for my lightning address, but guess I do not know how Lightning works yet.

I watched it. Here's the link to the video:

nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg Design Review

I got stuck setting up the Mutiny wallet to receive Zaps. The address I entered with my own domain won't work until I set something up to verify "matthew@retroedge.tech".

Need to do more research to understand how the Lightning network works with the shortcut names as receiving addresses.

Any tips would be appreciated.

I am using nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg but I still don't quite have it set up right, as I need to verify my custom Lightning Address that uses my own domain name.

Haven't figured that out yet.

Thanks for helping me test. I think I need to figure out one more step to verify my Lightning address of "matthew@retroedge.tech" on my domain.

I believe that I used nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg correctly and have it linked with this nostr account.

Should be able to receive Zaps now, but not completely sure I did it right. Looks like I did.

Was easier than I thought it would be.

Yes, nostr exclusive content would be beneficial for growth and increasing the utility of the nostr network.

If I could do everything on Youtube and Twitter that I can do here... the motivation for most people would be to just continuing to use BigTech.

I have other motivations, I as appreciate censorship resistance and being more in control. Most people just don't take that seriously right now. So having content that is on nostr first (it can be copied anywhere later) and things you can do that are better to do on nostr is the way forward.
