“Watch your thoughts, they become words;

watch your words, they become actions;

watch your actions, they become habits;

watch your habits, they become character;

watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”

Frank Outlaw, 1977

You all recognize this meme. The odd thing about this meme, is that my grandfather, who passed away in 2009, has had this framed in his office since the 1970s. I had no idea.

Tomorrow I’m starting the build guide for something I’m calling ZeroSentinel.

What ZeroSentinel does:

- Turns a $15 Raspberry Pi Zero into a fully autonomous privacy node

- Builds a locked, authenticated WireGuard tunnel home from anywhere

- Runs your DNS through your own Unbound resolver with DNSSEC enforcement

- Blocks ISP meddling, hotel rewrites, captive portal tricks, and upstream manipulation

- Monitors its own health every few minutes

- Sends you an encrypted Nostr DM when anything breaks

- Enforces no-fallback DNS and drops all traffic that isn’t in the tunnel

- Works behind travel routers, double NAT, carrier-grade NAT, and hostile networks

- Makes your phone’s “VPN” actually mean something

Your own infrastructure. Quiet. Cheap. No subscriptions. No external services.

Nostr is whatever users, not devs, want it to be.

⚡️🇫🇷🚽 NEW - You are not dreaming: Your Toilets Are Going To Be TAXED!

The government is preparing an update to property tax for 2026, incorporating six elements deemed to be "COMFORT" features in your home:

➥ Water and electricity connections

➥ Presence of a bathtub, shower, sink, and toilet

➥ Heating or air conditioning

Each piece of equipment adds a fictitious surface area, directly increasing the amount to be paid. Example: water +4 m², electricity +2 m², bathtub +5 m²... and so on for the other elements.

➥ 7.4 million homes could see their property tax increase as early as 2026. The government is targeting €466 million.

⚠️ Tenants could be indirectly affected if their landlord passes on this increase to the rent.

Releasing the Epstein files without redactions could pose a national security risk, according to House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Imagine making for yourself a pyramid to be buried in, in modern day Southern California.

I have been here since 2011.

Criticize however you like.

But realize you have no fucking idea what you are talking about.

What do you say?

"Being sexually desired by a man isn’t a flex. Let’s be honest ... half of them will chase anything that gives them attention for five seconds. Lustful men don’t crave connection, they crave stimulation. They’ll drool over one woman today, another one tomorrow, and call it “chemistry” when it’s really just habit. Same recycled lust, just a new face to project it on. That’s not attraction, that’s appetite.

Real attraction is rooted in respect, consistency, and emotional discipline ... not just desire. The real flex isn’t how many men want you, it’s how few truly have access to you. It’s being respected in silence, admired without exposure, valued even when you’re unavailable. Because any man can want your body… but it takes a different kind of man to love your soul. The one who doesn’t chase instant gratification, but shows up with patience, protection, and peace. Lust is easy. Love requires effort. And that’s the difference between being wanted and being chosen."

i do not feel comfortable telling people to run knots until it has better review and release processes in place

if you do not want to relay larger op return transactions then run core v29 (the most recent version of core) and do not update to v30 when it is released

alternatively you can run v30 with a modified config file

i think luke, mechanic, and most core contributors mean well and care about bitcoin

long term i want to see more well reviewed bitcoin implementations exist, more choices for node operators is strictly better, this is one of the reasons i have donated my time to build out opensats

i think this ‘debate’ has mostly devolved into social attacks and is mostly unproductive

i do not think it matters much for the global bitcoin network which client you run, in this specific situation

i have said much on this topic in the past, use the search feature if you are curious

Is the dust being mostly skin cells sentiment a PSYOP?

Cuz like…why is there so much dust in abandoned houses? Wayyyyy more dust in those than the ones occupied by skin cell wearing individuals.
