Thank you for being so receptive!
If you are interested in more, this guy has a good youtube channel and does quite a good job of describing various faiths. Here is his take on Ibn Arabi's philosophies. It's long, over an hour, but worth a watch if you are interested. 🙏🏼
You're very welcome,
Knowledge shared is knowledge squared 😄
I would say all three of those are solid choices. In my opinion the seed signer ismarginally superior because you can totally DIY build, order components independently for minimal traceability and market censorship.
Correct, don't they ship to states though? I guess it's an added complication either way.

LEAK: The Foundation Secret Master Plan 👀
We believe technology is progressing in the wrong direction. Rather than offering freedom, technology is used to surveil and control.
It’s time to help usher in a new era of freedom and prosperity with freedom tech.
🧵👇
There was a time when Apple shipped the schematics alongside the computer, a time when they encouraged us to “think different.”
There was a time when Google lived by the guiding principle of “don’t be evil.”
No longer.
Cryptocurrency companies like Ledger are collecting your data, Google wants to know everything about you, and your TV monitors what you watch and sells it all to the highest bidder.
Even our cars are black boxes that spy on us and give ultimate control to the manufacturer.
Technological progress in the physical world has slowed. An overwhelming majority of hardware and manufacturing innovations are closed source and proprietary.
Open source software propelled us to the Internet, to Bitcoin – but open source hardware is a rarity.
At Foundation we believe that technology can be used as a tool to empower the individual with freedom, with sovereignty, with privacy.
We believe that building superior open source hardware and software is the key to unlocking an era of prosperity and permissionless innovation.
As in Asimov’s Foundation trilogy, we’ve asked ourselves – what can we do to help navigate this period of chaos and usher in a new era of freedom and prosperity?
This brought us to our beginning. To Bitcoin.
It all started with Bitcoin. It is our strong belief that a transition to Bitcoin as the global monetary standard will re-align society and fix our most important problems.
In short, we believe that “Bitcoin fixes this!” So this is where we’ve chosen to begin our journey.
Foundation believes that Bitcoin itself is at a crossroads.
On one side are ETFs, exchanges, custodians, intense and crushing regulations. On the other is custody, decentralization, permissionless innovation, financial privacy, and even an end to central banking as we know it.
This is why our first product was Passport, the best-in-class Bitcoin hardware wallet.
The most fundamental aspect of Bitcoin is to hold your own keys, to control your own money and your own destiny. Passport makes that possible for more people than ever before.
But Bitcoin needs more than “just” approachable self-custody tools, so during the 2024-2028 epoch, Foundation will build a cohesive ecosystem of Bitcoin devices, tied together by our Envoy mobile app.
But we aren’t stopping at Bitcoin.
As the world achieves global Bitcoin adoption during the 2028-2032 epoch, Foundation will broaden our approach and focus on expanding our freedom tech ecosystem to more platforms.
Smartphones and computers running a next-gen, ultra-secure, privacy-preserving operating system.
Self-hosted smart home products with integrated AI.
Maybe even a car 🚗
Our master plan is straight-forward:
1. 2020-2024: Build a hardware wallet and mobile app.
2. 2024-2028: Use that money to build an ecosystem of Bitcoin devices.
3. 2028-2032: Use that money to build a freedom-tech computing ecosystem.
While doing all of the above, release everything as fully open source, vertically integrate manufacturing, and – most importantly – continue to hold true to our principles.
P.S. - Don’t tell anyone.
If you see the need for approachable self-custody and freedom tech, follow us nostr:npub1s0vtkgej33n7ec4d7ycxmwt78up8hpfa30d0yfksrshq7t82mchqynpq6j for more content like this and to be the first to know as we roll out our next wave of Bitcoin devices 😎
LFG!
FOSS OR GTFO!
foundation passed the vibe check 😎
I don't know if they work in your region, it's not global yet. But check out theboltcard.com a really cool solution. It can act like a lightning giftcard or a lightning debit card 👍🏻 nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 has a great video explaining how to use it.
My deepest desire is to financially survive the next couple of months 😅
FOSS can't be stopped! 💪🏼

Hey Nostrs. Can you help? I'm an Instagram boating education content creator, and I'd love to bring my content to Nostr, I know its still a small niche audience but I thought I'd test it out to see if there's potential for influencers on this platform.
I'm having difficulty though, I don't understand the relays and if incorrect selection of relays reduces reach. I also don't know how to get my content to be pushed out to people, so can I ask a big favour of the Nostr community please?
Can you help me reach anyone interested in boating and a bit of humour to repost, the crap out of this note? I wanna see if I can grow through reshares, as its not working as it does in insta. (I even have non boaters enjoy my content on insta, so don't let that be a hurdle😉)
I'm giving away my boating IP for free here on Nostr, and I'm old enough to have acquired quite a bit, so I'd really appreciate your support to see if we can get traction for influencers (the good kind😆) on this platform.
Thank You
I've noticed that Nostr is more about quality over quantity. You wont find the same level of clout as on other social media. But the interactions you get will hopefully be more meaningful and with a few zaps, more lucrative. Consider the "1000 good fans" concept and it can really work on this V4V model, it would never work on the others.
As paradigms shift so too should our approach and expectations.
Keep up the great work, I am a seafarer and very grateful for your content on here!
Considering a maxxed out #System76 Serval WS for my next #Linux daily driver...
Best specs I've seen out of a laptop with the Intel ME backdoor disabled and Coreboot bios preflashed.
No hardware switches for the mic/cam/wfi/bluetooth unfortunately...

Solid choice 👌🏼 did you considered framework? Or tuxedo computers?
nostr:npub1a377f258tzafuzdgezwjw4aplg8ze3suyzm40t6j4czcjvwp5vls5d5r4w probably just made more money on a sound check v4v than he ever made off millions of spotify streams over many years.
That's powerful.

So damn cool! I am very bullshit on V4V music model. It just needs a Ton of development. I hope some strong investments come into the space to push it forward!
Despite my view that their is no "one true religion" i do believe that for personal development it is wise to choose a path, choose the religion that strikes a chord with you personally, then start exploring the mystical/esoteric aspects of that religion once you are comfortable with the exoteric. Think of the exoteric as the religion and the esoteric as the related spirituality. This doesnt mean you shouldn't read or be interested about other paths, seek knowledge. But the tree with shallow roots is easily blown by the wind, like this... development is stunted.
An holistic and dedicated approach on a path is necessary for spiritual development. Preferably with a trustworthy teacher. But be very careful of false prophet's and scam artists. Maulana Jallaladin Rumi lays out good rules for a sincere spiritual guide. But to your actual question:
God is the absolute perfect emanator of everything, in everything but not of anything and essentially unattainable, beyond space, time, and concepts of good and evil. We can only grasp and glimpse beyond the veil and words will always fall short of a complete explanation. I really like the works of the sufi masters and especially ibn al-Arabi's take on God.
Personally I resonate towards the Abrahamic faiths and the path I choose is Islam focused on Sufism. But as Muhammad (pbuh) instructed i also take lessons from the "peoples of the book" i.e. all those which align with an Abrahamic concept of god: jews, christians etc.
I also read a lot about all the religions of the world as wisdom can be found in many places. But if I have contradicting ideas then i root myself in Abrahamic ideology.
Apologies for the info dump 😅✌🏼💜🕯
Ooooooh! 🤣 thanks! I cant keep up with all the acronyms sometimes... 🧓🏼
Don't get me wrong... I absolutely agree with what you're saying. I was being cheeky and flippant 😅 I kind of assume everyone here by now should know these things already but I guess there are still those who don't... you're allowed to voice you're frustrations ✌🏼 ignore my sass if you prefer 😄
Please enlighten a fellow pleb... what is the meaning of HFSP?
