pigeons?
pigeons gonna pigeon.
stop watching silly horror movies.
it's one syllable if you pronounce it like americans and british, ZOOSE.
but the original word is greek, and you don't say DEUS as DOOSE. You say DAY-oos
right?
yes, i know, most people don't even think about or care about this sort of thing.
i think ZAY-YOOS sounds better and i'm deliberately going to pronounce it that way because reasons.
just like I say NOSTR the way bulgarians would say it, or latins, who even use the word, NOSTRA is literally the word for "our".
i also say "tao" DOW because that's how the chinese say it.
how in the bejesus did "peking" ever get to be the latinised version for Bee-DJING?
Wade-Giles are retards and so are all of you. GFY i say it how it should be, idgaf if that confuses you, i'm not gonna talk to you very often anyway, and the text is teh same.
other than using mobile apps and mobile lightning wallets,
or using web apps on desktop, and using alby
how else can i set up to zap people?
alby seems to block my access because i'm using a russian wireguard vpns based in bulgaria and moldova. pretty sure it wouldn't matter if i'd picked data centres in usa or france or netherlands, because the IP addresses are registered to russian owners.
at least, i can't figure out why else i'm not getting alby to work, not on brave, not on firefox, i've given up but still want to know if anyone knows good alternatives that are on desktop and not mobile.

brilliant insight on the difference between saints and sinners.
i said saints and sinners intentionally. really, anyone who doesn't dedicate their life to making the world better than they found it is making it worse.
i wouldn't exactly say villain == sinner, sinners are just petty bit players, villains cause major damage.
and i guess 'saint' might be something you might consider to be reserved to those who make the world so much better they are remembered for centuries later, but you may not be remembered even if you still leave a net improvement in the world, so fuck it, if you leave an improvement, you are a saint, to you, at least, fuck the world.
and fuck the world, every petty crime is a villain as well. or just call them 'wicked' or 'sinners' and keep wide berth from them.
"haste makes waste" is an important aphorism against high time preference.
it's not just going quickly, it is also going hard. many times easing back on the pressure on things works much better.
peeling stickers off thing, for example. if you just hurriedly try to remove it, you wind up tearing the paper apart, and then spend 5 minutes scratching off the rest and it's still not clean.
meanwhile, if you just ease off the pressure a little, and use your nail to gently persuade the sticker to lift along a growing edge, you can get the thing off in one piece, or at least get most of it off in one piece, and probably take less time, and leave less sticker residue.
same goes with programming. most tech debt comes from hurrying through a step in the process, which leaves a mess that takes longer than it would have taken if you'd done it more slow and systematically.
note that in both cases, if you are aiming to make a snapshot that doesn't wind up with momentary changed files out of sync (like, browser cache/state data is likely to be mangled if it takes ages to get through it), better to remove the '|xz -9` and remove the `.xz` at the end on both and then `xz -9 src.tar` `xz -9 dotfiles.tar` to finish the job.
as i get more and more settled into a mindset of low time preference, one of the things that i'm getting a lot of improvement on is my skills working with shell tricks...
i finally can do something i've been always wishing for - to archive a specific set of files into a compressed tar archive.
this command tars up and xz compresses at max setting all of the 'hidden' dotfiles in your home directory:
# tar c `ls -a|grep ^[.][^.].*`|pv -s `ls -a|grep ^[.][^.].*|xargs du -d0 --total -b|grep total|cut -f1`|xz -9>dotfiles.tar.xz
that little one-liner finds all the files and folders starting with a dot '.' that get hidden by default in unix 'ls' listings, counts up the total data size, then strings all the files together using tar, from that total count of bytes estimates an ETA and gives a progress bar, and finally, compresses it with maximum compression using the most efficient compressor, xz.
high time preference made me not stop and learn how to do such a thing, but now it lets me do that, and now i can offload some of my work and attention requirement to the computer while i comfortably know that all my home directory profile data is going to be neatly zipped up and i know when it's going to be finished so i can just set the terminal to read only and leave it running in the background until it finishes.
it's 27gb btw... much of that is caches from yay AUR builds of custom packages.
gonna do it with my source code folder, from GOPATH days i still keep all my files in a directory 'src' which is the old gopath location for source code before the abomination called modules appeared and enabled idiocy like what is happening to btcd.
yea, verily, i would cancel go modules altogether if i had any say in it, and take a different approach where go understood that each repository in the src/path/to/repo name (eg src/github.com/btcsuite/btcd) was a Git repository and to make a temporary directory tree, unpack the modules on the tag specified in the go.mod, and that whole thing would be easily accessed by a dotfolder .build in the repository when i run 'go run ... or go build ...' and see exactly what it did.
well, modules does that somewhere still, it's just not very transparent. one of my main gripes with the go tool is its either telling you nothing or telling you way too much if you set -x. -v doesn't hardly print anything, and no flag is zero print at all except sometimes which is random.
anyhoo, enjoy playing with pipes, my fellow unix shell user developers.
if you want to see the real art of "fat pork" you should visit Bulgaria or Serbia, they call it "slanina" and there is many variations including dried, salted dried, smoked salted, and smoked dried. The serbs also have many strange dried/smoked meat items that aren't actually intended to be eaten but are used to impart flavour to soups and stews. they still use lard as spread on bread too, though i don't often find the type with the smooth texture, most lard is grainy.
frankly, i prefer beef. not veal, beef, in half of europe it's hard to find beef because they simply kill all the steers before they stop having pink, stringy meat with nearly no fat, so they can make all the variations of highly processed dairy products of which a tiny sliver is whole milk, not even the yoghurt is made from whole milk in general, except in places like Bulgaria and former yugoslavia.
i also stopped being such a fan of egg recently after i realised that the hard cholesterol in it was contributing to me getting colic and blowing up my gallbladder.
i'm now a bovine maximalist. beef and milk are the two primary food groups, and due to market forces and interventions and big agra/chem lobbying milk is cheap, about 1/4th the nutritional value/euro.
post it you fool!
you'll find that people pronounce it differently whether they are american, english, french, german, spanish...
i'm just gonna say "atlas" you tards. that's his original name.
not this silly name the greeks made up.
it's pronounced ZOOSE like noose.
but it looks like Zayus.
I bet people pronounce it zayus as much as they pronounce it zoose.
maybe it helps to remember you can just remember it's spelt like the great doctor who wrote the cute kids books
Seuss.
i hope your brain is broken now.

fight me.
stubbornness is a virtue.
it is those who make compromises who enable evil.
i'm gonna call posts on a forum posts also until the day i die as well because that's the name and is always going to be the name.
just as it's nostr, not The NOSTR, because @fiatjaf is a retard and nothing he invented was notable just that he got picked by some people with money to start up a hype train.
as a programmer, the whole architecture design is so elementary and rudimentary it's amazing it even works. but as it was, i was done with having my media stream tailored to manipulate me.
nostr gives me control. nostr is not controlled by some savyet fediverse mussolini style fascist council junta.
i am loyal to nostr:nprofile1qqsf03c2gsmx5ef4c9zmxvlew04gdh7u94afnknp33qvv3c94kvwxgspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9rhwden5te0wfjkcctev93xcefwdaexwtcpr3mhxue69uhkx6rjd9ehgurfd3kzumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tctty609 because he makes a decent app that does all the things i need it to do, and i respect his attitude towards things.
the moment that any of these things stop being true i search for alternatives.
and what makes me do that, is my stubbornness.
never let anyone tell you how to think.
since when did being a christian have anything to do with a public display and a publicly accessible building?
if they are making that simple act illegal for the poor then the poor should consider selling everything they have and going some place where God is not legislated against.
if suicide is a sin, then standing up to be martyred is also a sin.
dying to protect the innocent is a different thing entirely.
no, it's a red flag to me that someone would think these old japanese words are "cool" and indicate good character, because for sure the endless bunfights i keep seeing make me not want to follow anyone or see anything about said people. same deal with monero heads and other shitcoiners. red flags everywhere.
refute your own meme. you obviously know a lot about onion routing.
i'm just running my everything in private mode now, i don't think anyone can be trusted to not sell telemtry data, period. hell, if there is a firefox with telemetry code removed i'm in.
only problem is it has to support keepassxc.
