How did that quote go?
When you focus on linux, you grow.

Great effort from your part. Keeping the brain plastic is the winner.
THE BIG PRINT IS COMING: DOLLAR = TITANIC, BITCOIN = LIFEBOAT

If the maritime analogy proves valid, the seaman rule is that you ONLY abandon a sinking vessel when you can take a step UP into a liferaft.
More people have perished by abandoning a ship in peril (still floating) than remaining aboard and weathering its apparent troubles.
Risk mitigation is key, at sea and in finance.
Yes, back to 0.94.3-fdroid here, due to failures of loading feeds and also bandwidth usage.
Relays settings tested: 2, 3, 4 and 10. It works great for the main list "All Follows" but all other default and custom naddr's it constantly fails or freezes fetching, even "Global".
My usage is "bare", I'm a reader. No video, URL or profile img preview, only images. Always on Performance mode. Even so, I burned through 50Gb of bandwidth in less than 10 days.
Back to 0.94.3, my usage returned to 3-5Gb per week
Philosophically?
I read your blog post and love any efforts at recognizing how powerful and capable 64-bit computers already were a decade ago.
Two quotes came to mind about WSL: "...like polishing a turd" and "puttin' lipstick on a pig".
Since Win XP, there's just nothing that can make it "usable".
Wouldn't the time employed at flushing it all out for something like Alpine, bring meaning and satisfaction to you??
In addendum: "People write because no one listens."
Interest is precise and focused.
"How you doing?" is broad, vague and "canned".
The .28 gang on the rise.
In hindsight, we should have stuck to 21, and never been seduced by Taproot. Yaaay for the Lightning developments, naay for all else. Snowballed-bloating nightmare.
Paraphrasing the Unix philosophy: "Perform one task, and perform exceptionally well".
Lotus 1-2-3 came out a few years prior, and ran in DOS. VisiCalc was even earlier.
People hate it today because they have no clue how painful it is to manually calculate endless columns by hand and actually get it right.
"Yes Gandalf, I was there π "
You don't have to worry about that, recital 19 of the bill literally prohibits the use of this bill as a way to excuse prohibiting the installation of 3rd party software:
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32014L0053#rct_19
So based on your logic: Apple, Xiaomi and Samsung have been illegaly not allowing bootloaders to be unlocked in smartphones since 2014, impeding third parties from flashing custom software into the hardware, hence disrupting market competition?
How do you propose anyone litigates against these companies, if they are legitimately complying with 2014/53 Article 3.3(i): having features that keep their radio equipment with software that is compatibly demonstrable???
Reminding that this is about Delegated Act of 2022, which is an ammendment (by "Queen" Ursula) to, and redundantly cites, Article 3 of 2014/53.
Yes... but... the tip of the tongue on a 9V battery.
Only dd can teach permanent humbleness π
Welll... the times of irresponsible amounts of time (all weekend) vibeing bitchat π
Seems like an orchestrated "attack". Laws for research:
Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU and Delegated Act 2022/30.
"Verified Developers" are coming to Google Play.
Yes, this even applies to sideloading applications. Yes, sideloading will still technically be allowed, but only if the app comes from a verified developer.
Sideloading apps from unverified developers will be blocked on certified Android devices/OS, regardless of how you obtain the APK.
It seems the only way to install apps from nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnj7klqyqq in the future might be to run a custom ROM such as Graphene, etc.
https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/08/elevating-android-security.html
And how convenient that the EU has just passed a bill this month that bootloader- unlocking features are no longer allowed on devices with CE approval?? Samsung is already officially complying. Not that it was ever easy to do so with their crap.
Stock up on devices that still can take Lineage and Graphene OS, or be at the mercy of these retarded circumstances.
Creation vs consumption. And once you get a CAD platform "between your fingers", it's just like saying good bye to fiat.
Ain't no hobby, it's independence!!! Well done π₯³π
In the late 90's, I was sold the narrative that input would eventually come from haptic gloves and pushing holographic projections around. Thirty years later, all I want is a minimalistic keyboard and a monochromatic terminal environment.
BitChat: came for the bluetooth mesh, stayed for the geofenced irc-like chat via nostr.

bitchat andoird 1.1.0 with many UI/UX improvements
- long-press on messages to copy / slap / hug / block
- notifications for the first message in your geohash

We can hardly keep up with you π
Is there a distance limit for geohash in the android apk? I'm currently in Scandinavia and cannot reach further than ~1250, or the app does not list further.
Makes me wonder if most people are just chatting via bitmap.lat in the farther regions, which kind of beat the purpose.
Infinity. If physically true and we cannot "reach for the stars", is it of any relevance to the living?

Yeah, something "fishy" with the Aeropress. It just tastes A LOT better than all else. But the rubber from the plunger is also in full contact with the boiling water, and some micro bits from friction will inevitably end up in our morning goodness.
The stainless percolators or the french plungers are also great, but the grounds floating in my cup are not pleasant to my taste.
This is the filter I alluded to earlier. Only weighs 70g and it only needs a splash of water to clean up. Don't even need detergent or a filthy sponge, the grounds just fall off from the tap water.
It's also easier to make extra cups when someone visits, which was always onerous with one Airpress. I live on a sailboat, so weight counts and water is scarce for clean up.

It won't be long until such genre of music is composed about the EVIL and PSYCOPATHIC whole coiners.
So... this identical "workflow", except no paper filter with chemicals, nor the plastic strainer leaching PFAS into our glorious concoction.
A 304 stainless steel coffee filter/strainer!
The mesh MUST BE 800. The 600 is too course. Bought it on both Amazon and Aliexpress.
Apparently, paper filters hold back the healthy fats from the beans, whilst espresso machines do not.
Clean up is painless: just rinse, the grinds fall off. Don't even need to brush or use detergents.

Congratulations! Not for the weak.
The most common excuse: "I just don't delete it because all my friends and family are there".
It's been four years for me. Suddenly the deafning silence reveals what of genuine exists in life.
Welcome to the REAL free world. Hope you find peace in it π₯³
