I would almost do another phone except that it’s way overkill for cost if I want a decent lens. But I’ve certainly considered it

Who knows of an actually decent time lapse camera that has good focus ability and a wide angle of view? (ie. can grab a whole room, but also a close up of a plant or object without needing to be 10 feet away? - 5 ft is workable)

I've been using my phone for time lapse stuff which certainly works and I really love it, but its an enormous pain having to have your phone inaccessible while you are working on stuff, or to have it set up somewhere for hours where its using10x the battery it needs for timelapse because its updating 100 other things in the background and vibrating like crazy every time i get a text or call.

It's just not optimal and I do a TON of time lapse video these days so it's time to get a dedicated device I think. Especially with some work I'm planning after the studio is together.

If anyone has experience with this let me know.

State of the Basement/Studio.

Day 5 of framing/layout/concrete prep for plumbing

I'm going to try to do regular updates and progress reports on this just so you guys can know what's happening if interested. And I've got an nostr:npub1mfndvgwstwm604jvrt07p6nyy898mdsdzzyumx9sdn8u6r4za4uqck6f8v piece on the way that I am super stoked to have hanging in my studio one day soon 🔥

Fully laid out our very complicated stairs setup to make it fit. Not what we originally designed but it'll look nice.

Does it have Google Maps?

I would zap way more if my setup was better, been needing to switch over to Albyhub. My Zeus + LNC to Start9 setup is pretty unreliable. Not only does it take the bounce over to another app because of iOS stupid restrictions, but a significant portion of the time I get an RPC error or it doesn’t connect to my node for some reason. Been really unimpressed with LNC

Just started trying this out and I’m impressed. nostr:note1wg34uarm8mlz0dehtdhfzzjhtfx3qf5t3sjx50mklaty59qkv2fqfesjx5

Ok people, I need help.

What brand of washer and dryer do you hate, and which do you like/has worked for you.

I’m avoiding anything with digital screens because I’ve literally only ever heard and experienced them to be unreliable, unfixable without a “certified technician,” and annoying AF.

If anyone has any useful info or experiences with washer/dryer combo feel free to dump your advice below. #asknostr #homestr

It’s easier to avoid something you are afraid of than it is to take a risk and go after something you want.

Ah, well then either way it’s basically true.

You could kinda say I’m an RFK fan, at least from the context of his #Bitcoin stance, but his move to support Trump wouldn’t be the least bit surprising really. I certainly don’t hold him to any standard other than I’m impressed with his grasp of Bitcoin after only a couple of years. In the end, he’s a politician and I don’t expect him to behave as anything other than that.

Well apparently about 170K people die every day already, so population would probably go up in your scenario.

Correction: “this is what I read or heard.”

You can’t unsee that shit

Can you not reset it? Does it actually brick the device, or can you reinstall your seed on it?

It actually makes perfect sense because we are literally BUILDING #Nostr while using #Nostr to organize and find the community to build with.

It would be like an early version of GitHub being used to track updates and version history *for GitHub,* because a good tool was finally built to accomplish the task.

You are looking at something that necessarily begins with the people who are building and exploring what this protocol can be used for. #Nostr is a beta level startup, not a finished project.

It’s just like the earliest people on the internet only talking about the internet and what they could do with it. Of course that’s what they would talk about, literally EVERYTHING is still left to build.

It’s not at all as strange as it sounds, it’s just weird *for a corporate product,* but that’s not at all what #nostr is. nostr:note1j0s42w9g4736zgg33jer0xhjazrkzfesrwcjt9n57hmrxc7urv5q6lkm2m

YOU CLEARLY DONT UNDERSTAND HOW FUCKING COOL NOSTR IS AND CAN GO FUCK YOURSELF. 🤣🤣

Literally, buy #Bitcoin and don’t save or calculate long term profit/value in dollars. Calculate it against whether or not you should just hold #Bitcoin instead. Thats it.

I found a lightweight model that can determine with pretty solid accuracy whether an image is NSFW or not. Would be cool to have a SFW relay that did this for you and auto-blurred posts from people you follow that might have nudity.

That’s not what fiat means. It’s not relevant to whether it’s a database or not. #Bitcoin is not fiat.

On everything else I agree.

Make a key backup ritual that happens EVERY single time you make a wallet, even if you are just screwing around.

Do it because it’s simply the rule for when you make a wallet. Every time. If you have to, Imagine you are role playing as a meticulous OCD cypherpunk spy with 5 secret passports and money hidden in the slab under your house. That guy would *always* have a backup, and it would be highly organized. Whatever you need, just DO it. nostr:note196z4s5xuq4ux3trhavnf7paef5c7ajduypqhn3wwujstsdp3x6es3wz2fg

If on iOS you can set category or individual time limits under “Screen Time” in settings. Really useful and it’ll give you stats for whether you are doing worse or improving.

I’m certain there are options in Android and Graphene or the like, but I’ve not used them because they are secondary devices for me. Maybe nostr:npub1ajv7m32k0cpgzha32qszsh304qusjvwwmavus0ttktzldms4xzusuftppj knows

I hope whatever has made you so angry is temporary and gets sorted dude, good luck.

Haha before I saw your comment I noticed the picture and my immediate thought was, “man, the first season of that was really good…” 😆

Nope, I’m hiding 2 Whatsminers M30s 🤣

Following a lot of people rather than being really selective about your follows is a good strategy here. You see way more conversations and good posts that are “one hop away” from your graph that you’d otherwise miss.

Also I follow a handful of hashtags that are really helpful for branching out, but there is some risk there, fyi.

I’m hoping clients start making some features (and/or thinking of doing this myself on the relay side if it’s not too much work) to help with the problem of spam and porn in global. More integrated web of trust visibility will help there as well.

“So children will grow up being exposed to nothing but fake images of physical perfection to which neither they nor their prospective partners can measure up to.”

This has been the case for 30+ years already so don’t worry, it won’t be anything new from that context.

Working on that as we speak. We’re getting it packaged for Start9 in the next couple of days (week or two at the latest) and then I’m going to jump to focusing on the Zeus side.

This will make Start9 so much easier to use though. Imagine just fast booting any service into your browser without the delays and frustrations or Tor. Gonna improve it a lot. 👏🏻

It's already happened, its just barely begun. Pear Runtime was released in February but i already use it constantly. Except for the game (which was a test and run over pear but was barely a rough draft) these are all real examples of things i do regularly.

Yeah sure, but 2 years ago, video generation was barely even a thing. Of course they aren't perfect, but the major problems are disappearing at an incredible rate.

Those people still don’t understand the problems of money. Most still think money is *supposed* to lose value over time and that this is good for the economy. I’ve come to a point where I start by asking that question, and if they say “yes otherwise people will hoard it,” I know there’s no progress to be made discussing Bitcoin’s value

Dude of course they were! The left went insanely authoritarian. My criticism of Trump is literally that he didn’t get in their way.

Because they need to like him and if they admitted that he was literally EAGERLY behind the horrifically corrupt pharma/covid/authoritarian shit show that was 2020 AND 2021, they would probably have an aneurism.

So instead they just kinda pretend that none of that happened and focus on the fact that the establishment hates him, therefore he must be our friend.

The poor guy doesn’t know that we all bought when it crashed to 3K, and that’s why he’s hitting on someone else’s wife and we have big, happy families 😂

I mean I’m just sayin

Yo nostr:npub1ujm8l8mupgwvu8pye2ged78pg3huectlmm6at66x5wffgvl2fkgsygt8l4 you gonna have to stop posting that turismo shit or I’m gonna have to mute.

Don’t want to block for WoT reasons but might have to anyway.

hmm, if its a taproot address i don't see why not. Although you'd have to get the individual private key (rather than the master seed) for it to get your nsec. 🧐
