That’s true anywhere, but at least we don’t have private companies colluding with the government to prevent some of us from saying what we want to say to a bunch of people who listen to us.

GN all. Sleep well.

Having been down this road as a kid, I’m in no hurry to shuttle my kids off the hospital. There’s a place for a hospital, but that’s mainly for catastrophes in my opinion.

I’ve got AlbyHub set up and figured out what the problem was. I’m able to send zaps again!

Memory safety is one reason to use Rust anywhere. It eliminates an entire class of bugs. It’ll piss you off if you’re not used to it, but it’ll make things safer.

If you’re looking for invisible thread, this stuff is really good.

GM all. It’s a chilly day out this morning.

AI assisted coding just might be here to stay. So far I’m only playing with the free tier of Copilot and it’s definitely sped up my development time.

CZ says #BTC is definitely going to $1M.

So there you have it.

I am too comfortable. I will always be stuck here unless I do the uncomfortable and sometimes fearful work of changing myself. Yes, I am afraid to change.

I have a reasonably nice life. I live in a nice neighborhood. I don’t need to watch my back here. I am married to a beautiful and smart woman. We are in love with each other. We both make sure to feed our relationship for if it fails the whole house falls. I have numerous children. I have four cars, mostly because I have enough kids who want or need a car that sometimes all four of them are gone at one time.

I know this is many of you, too. Maybe not my exact situation, but you are stuck in your life wanting something more and/or different for yourself.. to better yourself. Feeling restless. Fearing change.

I have numerous things I want to do in my life, and yet, here I am stuck tending to other people’s needs and wants and wishes, which is a crutch to keep me here; an excuse for why I can’t change.

Day in and day out I rely on this crutch because it’s not really uncomfortable. It doesn’t hurt, or at least doesn’t hurt enough. I’m not unhappy with my wife or (most of) my kids, or my house, or my job, or whatever, and this is the enemy of change.

So.. what am I going to do about it?

I don’t know.

I’d zap if I could but ever since my lightning channel closed and I opened a new one and funded it, I’ve been unable to zap.

I’m mostly immune in thought to a complete market meltdown anymore. I might have nothing to retire on when there’s an 80% crash in my portfolio, but at least I won’t be all worried and crazy about it. These days I’m like, ā€œoh, the market is down 5% today. Is that all it’s down?ā€
