I'm about to find out what the hell a bread lame does. Printing one for nostr:npub1hgvtv4zn2l8l3ef34n87r4sf5s00xq3lhgr3mvwt7kn8gjxpjprqc89jnv now. I waited until AFTER she made bread, so now she has to make MORE bread. #breadstr

Nostr hard lessons:
Lesson #1: Hide your IP.
Lesson #2: Everything you ever posted is there forever and not deletable.
Lesson #3: They can see your searches.
Somebody is about to get #2 bigly.
That's good to hear. Glad y'all have your finger on the pulse of it. There's so much bullshit noise out there when it comes to new devices.
I saw a lot of possible FUD about no 8a and maybe even no more Pixels. I'd like to hear your take on that. I'm betting you have way better intel on it than these AI/copypasta "news" sites.
The last time nostr:npub1jrcfyw8n298jf83txvlxzx0w7jtfwqs0j4ha0dnn9ns33hgm209sqejdcc took pics of me at a conference you all had fun turning them into memes. Here's your next opportunity.

That coconut.

We ABSOLUTELY policed ourselves. It was great. Free and open communication. Nobody let some out of bounds comment slide. If it pissed them off, they said something. It usually resulted in a simple apology, or further discussion, but always some mutual resolution.
Now the actual manifestation of all that was usually loud and included most every swear word in existence, but always a positive result.
Literally the only time there was a problem was when somebody got butthurt on behalf of somebody else. White-knighting for a lesbian or black guy or whatever. Those people never lasted long because they were constantly trying to find some unrighted wrong instead of getting on the team and doing their fucking job.
Not in the military, but a similar experience. The guys and girls all seemed to know when it was joking and when it was hateful. If it ever got hateful, somebody's ass got checked for it. And everyone lived happily ever after.
I did the same thing for the same reasons. Cold storage BTC and nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg, nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5, or similar are good enough for my normie situation.

Sorry, I flipped a little. Calming down now. Sweet Jesus, please ask for any help anyone needs. I fucked it up so many times that I have some decent solutions now.
It's not arrogant. It's very basic privacy. If you don't hide it, it's out there. Bots will crawl it. Nature of the beast. No, it's not "right" but it's always been a fact. I'm just seriously shocked at all the surprise about this. Hide your private keys or you'll get got. Hide your IP or you'll get got. Same.
Emotionally, I feel you. It's a violation. I understand. But bots were grabbing your IP 30 years ago.
is this ip leak from relays or client?
this is a very serious crisis. cc devs who might wanna help nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub18kzz4lkdtc5n729kvfunxuz287uvu9f64ywhjz43ra482t2y5sks0mx5sz nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z

New things recently:
- #OpenRTX and #M17 protocol for ham radio. I loaded OpenRTX on a TYT MD380 successfully and used it for DMR. M17 requires hardware mods inside the radio, so that's the next step. Back-burnered that one for now because it's going to require concentration. But it's FOSS digital ham radio. This is very cool.
- #WPSD to replace Pi-Star on my Zumspot. It seems to be more refined and supports M17 when I get to that point. Right now it's banging away on DMR and D-STAR.
- #Reticulum. Holy crap. Had some issues getting firmware running on my radios, but Mark jumped right on it over on Matrix and got me lined out. I can't even get my head around what all I can do with this. I'm starting to learn the messaging side of it first, then I'll work on data transmission. The #RNode firmware alone is crazy cool. Very off-grid friendly. This stuff is apocalypse internet. Don't ignore it.
Learning has occurred.


Hell yes. Imagine what our world would look like if a Tech could do 40m digital. That's what a new ham would be working with in the present. Tinkering with data, protocols, low power, efficient antennas, etc. Not gathering trophies from morse contacts in all 50 states.
