The only thing this woman should get is a swift kick in the ass. What useful things has she done for humanity aside from promote values that tear down our young men and women, and promote the destruction of our society? nostr:note1kvgcccn8p6evjeh0hky0km605ycdsrtt5lc5ssnh6x8v7dn7cagsa44jgp

Looks like thrashing back and forth.. stack more sats, what am I going to eat, stack more sats, what am I going to eat…

This might not be pollution reasons but I encountered a problem with ZFS about six months ago where copying files and running a du command to find the number of blocks that the files use on disk would return the wrong value (low by a lot) if I ran it within a couple seconds of copying the files. Ext4 doesn’t exhibit this issue. This was causing issues with GitLab CI on a particular project that was using the blocks used on disk as a metric for creating a file system large enough to include the copied files. It took a while to figure that out and the eventual workaround was to make the CI runners run on ext4 on top of ZFS. I guess we could have modified the project code being compiled in CI to wait 5 or 10 seconds before getting the block count, but my thought was I shouldn’t have to modify the Makefile to workaround this issue.

This sounds like the CCP playbook

I’m done for today. GN, #Nostr.

What an amazing shot! nostr:note1dtxjt8sfyrsgg9zd0sylxsqpqxhn3z3ludtmu78qdnjnwp8zc9fses3slv

I’m trying to purple pill the wife. She might bite on it as she started asking questions about #Nostr and what it is and how is it different from other services. I think she got the message.

433 is part of the amateur radio band which requires a ham radio license to transmit legally there above a certain power level.

433 is also regulated under Part 15 rules which is unlicensed. There will be some sort of ERP limit here that will include transmit power plus antenna gain. There may possibly be an antenna height above ground limit too. Assume low transmit power, below 20 dBm (maybe well below 20 dBm), and some relatively low gain antenna, too. Without looking it up, I don’t know for sure what the exact rules are. I’m a ham so I can run 1500 Watts there if I want. I’m not sure if I have an ERP limit there or not, though. I guess it more comes down to if I can satisfy the FCC RF field strength rules or not for how close the antenna can be to people, signage, fences, etc to keep from frying people and pets unnecessarily. :-)

In short, 433 is legal here in the US for unlicensed use, but there are power limits. The Part 15 devices should already abide by the rules. If you modify things then it voids the Part 15 authority in which case you’re not legal to transmit with it.

so, i don't want trouble with my landlady, and her bank has interfered with me paying her

i have notified her agent here as she and her man seem to have already gone else where other than their own little house here in pretty Sao Vicente, and maybe after some to and fro i will hear about other options but this is worrying me a bit because the current main plan for responding to this is that i draw out large amounts of cash from an ATM using the CC payment network and i figure if the EU banking cartels are getting this antsy this is gonna put me on their radar, if i plul it from one location/operator

so, i'm gonna take a few steps here

firstly, there is several bank options i have in front of me, some of them seem to be foreign based operations, and so this may help reduce my profile on the radar

i'm probably going to go for a bit of a walk this evening, and sample some usage of the payment networks to accumulate my rent payment without any single one of them seeing a big thing all at once, because this is so shady as fuck, and i kinda need the air, tbh

i think that my extra-eu based bank is probably not in the crosshairs at this point, but i'm taking it on advisement that the escalation may continue, and it may be in the future

government overreach into financial privacy in europe is now officially a problem that has impacted my life and has disrupted my mind so much that i have been unable to put it on the task of doing some work on my realy relay... and this is a Bad Thing ™️

also, just want to say, if any y'all are distrustful of the normies and that they are gonna all rat you out like communist snitch brigades, you need not be so alarmed

maybe this is the case in densely populated, highly liberal/progressive areas that i know some of you live in

but the rest of the world is starting to become alert to what's going on and they are and were always allies to our cause, and they will help us when they can

Orange pill the landlady. Probably easier said than done, but maybe not impossible.

I’m not too worried about my neighbors and such, but my government (USA) is not to be trusted. Basically, the whole establishment was taken over (a long time ago) by radical elites who would be perfectly happy to burn this entire place to the ground and then rule over the ashes. That’s not really my game. I don’t really understand that mentality either. Why, as an elite, would you f**k the working class? What benefit does that provide to you? On the short-term it provides more money to the elites, which just becomes a game to them rather than necessity. On the long-term it erodes the elite’s way of life because they’re largely incapable of providing for themselves so they’re reliant upon the group of people that they’re screwing. Why would they do that?

Anyway, as far as financial oversight goes, we the people (of all countries) ultimately have the power to tell the establishment where to go and what we’re going to put up with. The trick is to get some small percentage of the population all acting in relative unison to send the message to the overlords that we’re not going to take it. Bitcoin is an interesting step in that direction. It doesn’t look like revolt so it’s not largely perceived as such. All the cards are laid out on the table for everyone to see so not a whole lot of people are threatened by it, well, maybe the banks and a few governments are but then they should be threatened by it. That’s kind of the whole point.
