Paused my reading of The Mandibles for Xmas day: It's not exactly holiday reading.

It's one thing to know nothing stops this train. It's another thing to read through a detailed description of what the slow inevitable crash looks like: It's like the right brain equivalent of When Money Dies.

Sometimes we have to build the world that we want, and that includes not using shitcoins and making excuses for using them. I'm more principled in some areas than others and I do a lot things that some might consider dumb out of principle. I would not use a carrier that supports Helium. I would not connect to a Helium WiFi network. Perhaps in an emergency, but that would be it.

Yeah, I did not do anything, but these are apparently out there.

But why do you have to use a shitcoin for this? Why can't you use Tollgate?

Because of the pace of development being so fast in Nostr, it has mostly has become abandonware. It seems that most nostr ~~vibedev~~ devs are not prepared to keep championing a project until that J curve of adoption materialize. Strange to see just so much amazing projects abandoned.

This clearly shows that it's not *just* "build and they will come" there's the political aspect of getting others attention as well.

Has anyone had the experience of growing into adulthood with the US Dollar as their unit of account, and then moving to another country and having a different currency slowly but completely exist in their mental model as unit of account?

Lol. Someone on FB called me a "mid dude" and apparently that's an insult. But he didn't know I've been average online for a while.

*immediately orders a recorder and pays twice as much for expedited shipping*

And remember models take more space than their weights. So if a model has 7gb of weights, it still might not fit on an 8gb vram card because it needs more memory for the prompt and other stuff. So for example, an 8gb model like gemma3:12b actually needs around 10gb.

Run `ollama ps` to see if the model is loaded to your CPU or GPU (or both)

My article explains how to install Ollama and Open WebUI through docker. You need to give it web search capability and feed it relevant docs.

I will be beginning research of docker and searxng so I can write more guides and maybe eventually develop an open source app.

Most tutorials online are extremely insecure.

When you’re running a model, run `ollama ps` or `docker exec ollama ollama ps` to see how much GPU/CPU it’s using. Models that can fit entirely on vram run at 40+ tokens per second. Models that offload to CPU/RAM are *much* slower, 8-20 tokens per second. You want the processes command to show that the model is 100% loaded to GPU.

But I haven’t messed much with AI code. I assume Qwen3, Gemma 3, and GPT-oss 20b are all good. GPT-oss 20b is a mixture of experts model, meaning it only ever has 3.6b active parameters, taking like 14gb ram. You can run it on cpu probably, it is extremely good. You need RAG

No, but that’s a good one 😂

Favorite game of all time. SPECIFICALLY ocarina.

Fun fact: I have a tattoo from this game and no it’s not the triforce 😂

I’m not a chart reader, but just living with my husband, my automatic reaction to a price dump is:

“We’re just building resistance”

I don’t even fully know what that means, but I believe it somehow😂😂😂😂

It’s always dumpiest before it gets the pumpiest 🤌

self-host or perish

You're intentionally missing my point, rich Bitcoiners care about price, poor ones care about 10 cent international remittance transactions over cashapp. Price is and always will be the signal.

My own node is already doxxed so can't use that. Everything else is custodial and soft kyc

As a sign of solidarity to the cause?

Whether you think filters work or not at this point is immaterial in my view. To me, the Knots movement has almost shifted to a cultural one. The Core developers lack self awareness, emotional intelligence, and communication skills. That said, so do some folks in the Knots camp.

However, I think one of the goals, at least from chatting with people in person, is they want to show them their behaviors are not okay and are trying to use it as behavior modification effort. Will it work? Doubtful, because where they lack in the characteristics above, they seem to be plus in ego and self importance.

Most of what platforms can't copy is the second order interoperability/horizontal network effects. In terms of first order its most likely censorship resistance which is valuable for all kinds of reasons people simply will never comprehend.

Nostr is failing because by far the most; tweets are send on a couple of platforms;

Articles are published eslewhere;

Receipes are shared elsewhere;

Private communications is done elsewhere;

Photos are shown elsewhere;

Git stuff is on Github, and its just barely a thing on Nostr;

Podcast run via RSS and has anyone bothered yet to do it on Nostr?;

Calender events are managed elsewhere.

I could go on and on. If i would take the time i could show depressing graphs where Nostr would not even register for all of these things.

Most of the stuff Nostr does, already exists and has had years if not decades at this point to mature.

Yes Nostr is failing to be THE tweet system, THE photo sharing system, THE you name it.

But am i crazy? What is the git functionality of instagram? By the looks of it, Nostr is succeeding at being an open protocol for all these things.

I come from the Austrian school.

I'll believe Elon's turn towards Bitcoin when he puts his money where his mouth is.

I've vibe coded almost a dozen weekend projects this year and with every single one, I've done something I've never tried before. Whether it's developing for a wholly new platform, using a completely new JavaScript framework, or accessing hardware APIs I have zero experience with.

It's incredible how much you can learn by fully submitting to the vibe. Instead of spending days researching the tools I'd like to use, I'm just using them. In the process, I'm learning new things every single day. The learning experience is much more intense than it has ever been in my rather long coding career.

I've never learned as much about programming as I did in the last year. Insane. If this isn't the singularity, I don't know what is.

Devs of Nostr:

What would you do with a secure element that is easy to write software for, required no NDAs and had an open source development toolchain?

(Please renote for visibility) #asknostr

Currently, my life choices oscillate between

- Hand-code it and get it right the first time but spend 4 hours trying to understand how this obscure javascript framework works?

- Vibe-code it in 5 minutes, works right away but and spend 4 hours debugging and cleaning up garbage code it left in there?
