This #Taoist proverb up in conversation at work today - thought I’d share :
A farmer had only one horse. One day, his horse ran away.
His neighbors said, “I’m so sorry. This is such bad news. You must be so upset.”
The man just said, “Maybe.”
A few days later, his horse came back with a wild horse following. The man and his son corralled the horse.
His neighbors said, “Congratulations! This is such good news. You must be so happy!”
The man just said, “Maybe.”
The wild horse threw the man’s only son, breaking both his legs.
His neighbors said, “I’m so sorry. This is such bad news. You must be so upset.”
The man just said, “Maybe.”
The country went to war, and every able-bodied young man was drafted to fight. The war was terrible and killed every young man, but the farmer’s son was spared, since his broken legs prevented him from being drafted.
His neighbors said, “Congratulations! This is such good news. You must be so happy!”
The man just said, “Maybe.”
I was under the impression led = flicker but he doesn’t use pwm to drive them - thus no flicker.
Listen to the guy talk about it - he’s gone to lengths
Bro have a look at getchroma.com - their sky portal would be ideal for this use. Not blue light , zero flicker and can be amber for the arvo
It feels like society as a whole is full of people who are full of doubts and have lost their compass.
“If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties” - Francis Bacon
Had a family friend - proud Kiwi grower - who banged on about China growing it. I questioned who actually owns his fruit - as he can’t sell it on his own accord. Zespri is pretty much a next gen Fontera
My new filter for Governments: “The more corrupt the state, the more it legislates” - Tacitus (Roman Historian)
BATHURST WAS EPIC. BEST RACE OF THE YEAR
Yeah he was definitely disappeared and re-educated. Not the same man
Yep it’s their playbook - internationally too, when I worked there made me laugh at disgust. Never eat that shit
Much love nostr 🧡

Today is the day: Obscura VPN is NOW AVAILABLE!
Obscura is the first VPN that:
- CAN'T log your activity by design
- Outsmarts network filters
We believe Obscura sets the standard for a new generation of VPNs, and hope you’ll check it out!
----
Contrary to popular belief, traditional VPNs (even “no-log” ones) can track you – they see both who you are and what you do, just like your ISP.
Your ISP is no better. Since 2017, they've been able to legally sell your sensitive data.
Obscura is different – we never see your decrypted internet packets in the first place.
It’s simply impossible for us to log your internet activity, even if we were compelled to, or if our servers were compromised.
We achieve this by using a fully-independent exit hop run by @mullvadvpn. Ensuring that our servers never see your traffic, and the exit hop never sees your identity.
In fact, you can check your connected server’s public key against those listed on Mullvad’s server page!
But that’s not all…
You may have had the frustrating experience of trying to use your VPN on a restrictive WiFi: in an airport, a hotel, or certain jurisdictions.
Other VPNs will often fail to connect, as their off-the-shelf protocol is easily detected and blocked.
With Obscura, we built our own custom stealth protocol that is much harder to block.
Our protocol blends in with regular internet traffic using the same technology that powers HTTP/3 – QUIC – making it much harder for censors or network filters to detect or block.
To celebrate our launch, Obscura is just $6/month.
Our team has put in the hours to make this all a seamless experience, and I hope you’ll take Obscura for a spin.
Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you on the free and open internet. 🏄
P.S. For those looking for an exploration of our technical choices, here's our blog post! https://obscura.net/blog/bootstrapping-trust/

Funny how I’ve talked to many kiwis in #NZ that want to have exposure to bitcoin with their fiat retirement fund but not actually holding the keys.
Not sure what to think about this
The fact she mentioned Bitcoin in a press conference tells me all I need to know on what she really thinks
Oh god damn you are a legend! Grazie!
