If you didn't have a reason to consider switching to Linux now you do 🙂

GOOD MORNING.

MANDIBLES THEN BITCOIN STANDARD. 🤷‍♂️

W or L? #asknostr

goals:

- use existing client software

- use existing server software

- server uses https

- server can be behind a firewall or NAT

- server doesn't have DNS

- server doesn't have IP reachable externally

- if possible, require no additional client software

- client only knows the server's nprofile (npub + relays)

- make them talk to each other

For $25 a piece?

Should I buy more bitkeys? 🤔

Mises says that a country can be considered capitalistic if it has a stock market. I love Mises, but most of his work was before the CIA, NSA, QE infinity, Bank Secrecy Act, and the Patriot Act. If you think the USA qualifies as capitalistic because of its stock market, then hi my name is John Law and I have shares of the Mississippi Company to sell you.

Some human inventions are not strictly necessary from a philosophical perspective, but are nonetheless virtually inevitable as civilization grows and develops nearly as a law of nature.

Among these are:

- fire

- the wheel

- levers and simple machines

- money (abstracted trade)

- written language

- ledgers

- cryptography

- telecommunication

- digital records

- cryptographic digital ledger

That last one is somewhat hard to justify for the uninitiated, but once you know, it is hard to think of it as anything other than inevitable.
