lol, well, if it weren't erythritol based, maybe. yeah, i saw the recent study on it, but it's not like i consume much of it...
oh man, so i the tea i added this molasses sugar to is chai tea, which already kind of tastes like a cookie, and adding the molasses sugar just made it taste more like a cookie. a liquid cookie.
living the high life 🤑 adding molasses sugar to tea 😆
typical situation for me with developer bounties: "hm, that looks like a whole lot of work for something i'm not even all that interested in personally. how am i going to stay motivated if i'm not emotionally invested in it?"
knowing about investment opportunities early doesn't help much when you're living paycheque to paycheque and you have a long history of income instability, so you're always short on money or in debt.
the Nostr bounties are tempting. a little.
so anyway, for the time being, some of my posts come from Mastodon, and on Nostr, those originate from wss://relay.mostr.pub, so it probably doesn't hurt to add it. it has a bit of a spam issue at the moment but i hear that's being worked on.
so basically, if i wanted to make my Mastodon posts visible on paid relays, i would be paying twice, because those posts come from a different npub.
looks like when you share posts from non-paying users on a relay you paid for, the relay doesn't list them. so the paid relays are like a completely closed ecosystem.
it's weird seeing it on a normal store shelf like that. each of the Nordic countries has a single licensed store chain that sells all liquor and wine. you can only buy weaker stuff such as beer in the supermarkets.
that proof-of-work thing for Nostr, is that intended as an anti-spam measure?
for the moment, even a used one would kill my food budget for the month.
if i had a Mac with Apple silicon and access to the Damus for macOS beta, i'd probably switch to it. for now, i'm using iris.to in a browser tab.
tfw you wrote a piece of software out of sheer frustration that nothing like it existed yet.
the world gets profoundly predictable and unmagical once you've lived in it for a while. sure, there are a couple of surprises and delights here and there, but all in all, it was a lot more fun being a kid and knowing nothing yet.
*checks news*
wait, i don't care about any of this...
when you make a backup of your profile and follows in iris.to, the resulting JSON file doesn't really contain your full profile data, as far as i can tell. what it seems to contain is:
- all your published relays
- all the people you follow
- your public key
what it doesn't contain:
- display name
- user name
- profile picture
- header picture
- bio/about field
- website
- Lightning address
- NIP-05 address
making my "cod, crispy onions and chips" dish again - it's easier to sprinkle crispy onions on fish than to use a batter because it's less messy, and you still get a crisp from it.
receiving all these repeated announcements from MtGox about setting up a payment method is giving me a stronger and stronger impression that some of the creditors must be complete morons, having failed to set one up and having missed several deadlines spanning several months.
lmao, they changed the MtGox deadline again, one day before the previous deadline. who'd'a thunk?!
why do they keep extending it like that? they're giving slow creditors *way* too much slack. have they considered that some people have just given up at this point? can't they just split what's left with who's left and be done with it?
their process is very complex and slow. i thought the US legal system was complex and slow (you guys write super long contracts) but the Japanese legal system is something else. it's as if they copied the US legal system and made it even worse.
