Mastodon saved me from my own neglegance. I failed to label what I replaced the stevia with and had to go back and look at my own social media posts to figure it out. It's spinach!
There's tiny, three leaf plant in there if you look closely enough.
I post too much on #Nostr and couldn't find the note until I knew about what day it was that I posted it.
I just saw a #spam / #scam email that looks like it's linking to content on #IPFS, via a web gateway.
That's a pretty clever way to host your crap, honestly. Just pop some boxes and have them host content on IPFS. No need for forwarding ports and it's available on clearnet for victims to click on.
Plus, the URL looks like it's cloudflare (and for all I know it may actually be them), so all those products who pass judgement on domains based on how old they are and all that, they fall flat on their face.
I mean, that strategy usually falls flat on its face, but usually it is because attackers just register a recently expired domain that had a good reputation. It's a pretty standard and reliable bypass for all those crap #security products.
I'm just entertained to see something in the wild that shows the #scammers have figured out this trick.
F-Droid reports when apps have trackers. Obtainium does not.
I like having the url under the QR code. I'll type in a URL far more often than I'll scan a QR code. Having both serves everyone.
Slight preference to omit the politician part. It seems like an unnecessary jab at people who still believe their vote makes a difference. Participating in a democracy is not mutually exclusive to using bitcoin. I'd rather see people focus on things we can agree on whenever possible. But then again, I'm a corny🌽, posititivity guy. 😆
Do you have any recommendations for Android?
When I search for "nostr" in F-Droid, exactly 1 nostr client shows up.
Meta-analysis shows moderate alcohol consumption to be either positive or neutral to longevity. Low alcohol consumption is unambiguously positive.

A quote from the linked page:
"More than 40 diseases and 2.8 million deaths were fully attributable to alcohol in 2016, which has aroused widespread concern and caused substantial health loss (4, 5). The American Society of Clinical Oncology (6) stated that alcohol is a cause of cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, liver and breast cancer."
This sounds like RFCs, W3C standards and most others. Pretty much all standards lag.
There's almost always **at least** one implementation that has been tested, they figure out what works well in practice and then write it up and submit it to the standards body.
I think that's generally fine. It becomes a problem when there's a near monopoly. When Google makes Chrome do something non-standard, convince web developers to quickly depend on it, and then users get mad when their other browsers don't work. Then others browsers implement the new thing, and at that point the standards body might as well accept it since it's already a defacto standard.
Maybe that's the case here, but I maintain that the problem is not that we have a free market of ideas where people can implement whatever they want, but that a single client has gotten enough sway to make everyone else feel compelled to immediately follow suit.
Yeah, I used to run a practice and lead a team of people who did software security audits, so I've spent a good deal of time thinking about how to go through all the relevant code as fast as possible and make sure nothing was overlooked.
I appreciate it when:
I. Code is really small, or failing that
II. It's architected in a way that I can be confident that a failure in one part of the code won't affect another part of the code
Just to be clear, I'm not recommending btcd because I don't have any experience with it, but I do think that having ecosystem diversity is a good thing.
First, the latest is v26
Second, I believe there are other implementations of Bitcoin (however I expect bitcoin core makes up >50% of the nodes, so a vulnerability in core would still be a huge risk)
Third, you don't have to read all the code to determine certain security properties. For example, lets say you are concerned with your private key being leaked. Just read the code that processes the private key. The code that validates blocks, doesn't matter for this purpose.
So you have to know what it is you are trying to prove, but then it becomes a much more managable task.
A quick search turned up this alternative bitcoin implementation: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/btcd-a-full-bitcoin-alternative-written-in-go-1368114292
I finally broke down and bought a new motherboard (using #bitcoin) to try to determine if the issue is #Qubes 4.2, or the motherboard. I strongly suspect the latter.
If so, I don't know if it's a UEFI firmware issue, a defective unit or if this make and model always mucks around with hidraw devices. Frankly, at this point, I don't care. This has taken up enough of my time and I'm not going to fall for the sunk cost fallacy this time.
Maybe someday, when I have copious amounts of spare time, I'll continue trying to solve this mystery. But that ain't today!
A local #bitcoiner gave an excellent technical overview of how lightning network works. It's the best explanation of #lightning that I've seen to date!
Correction: 25 peppers. 15 bell peppers, 6 hungarians, and 4 fish peppers
TY. We switched to plastic because the terracota pots got moldy on the outside. So now they are outside pots.
But if we can seal them... maybe with the flax oil we already have? They suddenly seem like potential indoor/outdoor pots again.
Thanks for the tip!
Don't forget the staying humble part. ❤️ They are welcome to join the community now, if they're ready.
We stsrted the seed sprouting lab in our house today. 15 peppers (3 different varities), 8 eggplants, some marjoram, some ginger, and some more turmeric.
I want this year to be amazing in terms of food production. It takes a lot of effort, but I think it's worth it.

In related news, I have a full node up and running, but it's not syncing any blocks because I have blocked all but a few outbound connections at the router layer. Once I open up TCP/8333 from that server to the internet zone, it should "just work".
It might be cheaper to just pay the fine for being uninsured?
In related news, my outbound firewall that blocks all but a few ports (8333 being one that is blocked by default) is working perfectly.
So I'll need to add an exception for this new box.
