I'd rather read raw JSON events from a relay than have what I see filtered by someone else.

That's why we're here.

I have a Vaultek RS safe that is secure enough for my needs at the moment. No kids and it's really just a deterrent to snatch and grabs.

But it's big enough to hold a few rifles/shotguns and some pistols. Bolts to the floor/wall. Keypad and fingerprint entry.

Haha one day she will be like my fiance and agree... and simultaneously want me to shut the fuck up about it lol

I'd never blame unlimited access to information, in any way. You could call me a "free information absolutist" and that wouldn't be far from the truth. I think our societal problems largely boil down to:

- Limited opportunity for a lot of people. For a lot of people their tomorrow's don't look as bright as their yesterday's. This is in large part due to our monetary problems. The government is siphoning money away from the people through taxes and inflation. So people are in an "I'll get mine however I can fuck everyone else" mindset.

- Engagement algorithms used by social media, and the media in general. Fear, anger, envy, all the negative, anti-social emotions drive higher engagement. And companies stoke those flames for a buck. Nostr is a case study of this. Largely this network, anecdotally to me anyway, feels much more peaceful, free, caring, focused. And I think it's because we're not being force fed shit news and content custom made to incite us.

Hopelessness and propaganda. That's all you need to get people stirred up like they are these days.

I think so too but unfortunately that's not what he said

Yea he lost me a bit there. The Internet is a large reason we know about half the shit our government tries to get away with. The Internet is connection. How they use the internet is the problem. They captured the companies providing communication services and used them to feed people propaganda. Corporations are the problem.

You bet man!

Wireguard can run in kernelspace which will be faster than Tailscale which runs userspace wireguard. Worth it for me because I have cloud instances connecting to home for things and need the speed. If you're just doing normal browsing you likely wouldn't notice.
