Today is June 1st 2024.

The next 5 to 6 months is going to be absolutely CRAZY.......

Haven’t had time to post as much lately because we bought a house and I’m in full reno mode! While there were some definite benefits to renting, rent is still much higher than owning in Hawaii. Plus I love personalizing a house to make it our home.

So although I was able to buy much less bitcoin this month, we get to enjoy this view every day which makes me happy💗

yesterday i unfollowed everyone on twitter to reset and test the algorithm.

my experience generally stayed the same, with a pretty high quality of signal. it will only get better, towards what tiktok was able to do.

the algorithm isn’t the problem. the problem arises when the algorithm is a black box, can’t be turned off, or can’t be replaced by another one someone else wrote.

being able to choose if an algorithm is used, and which one is used, is key. no one is done this well yet. twitter is the only one that allows a choice in the first place.

A little more experimenting with my outdoor Meshtastic node. I realised that trying to mount it anywhere accessible on the house wasn’t going to get above trees and other houses so trying it on a telescopic 4.5 metre mast with a short coax run to the antenna. It seems to work ok although I need to get a better mounting bracket rather than using cable ties. I still can’t see any other nodes from my home though apart from my own.. I need to do some range testing with my own nodes to see if I am actually getting better reach with this set up.

61 fucking billion USD to Ukraine, lol.

#bitcoin

Despite what you may think about Coinbase, turning millions of their users on to Lightning is a positive move! ⚡️

Do you agree?

There’s a huge gap in the perception of self-driving cars between San Franciscans and everyone else. And it’s not because of the hype cycles that dominate SF tech - it’s because SF people replaced Uber with Waymo a year ago and haven’t looked back at the comparatively-terrible product of Uber.

Just had the most batshit crazy phone call from a fiat world estate agent. They’re trying to rent out my fathers apartment for me.

Fiat money sucks SO MUCH. I appointed an agent to find a tenant, everything after that I’m dealing with myself.

They found a tenant, but the tenant wants his son to pay for a year in cash from an account in Dubai in advance. Fine not a problem. The agent wants to do background checks, so proposed taking the whole years rent by debit card, doing searches and then pass the money on to me minus the fees, but there’s a problem, any amount above 15K has to be checked for money laundering. Meanwhile apparently, the apartment block manager has told them she must interview the tenant to make certain they are suitable.

I have sacked the block manager and told the agent to stop fucking about in his shitty fiat world and understand he is working for me if he wants his fee.

I need to meet the tenant, not the departed manager and if I like him he can move in, all else is irrelevant and he is free to shitcoin in the background, but don’t involve me.

This is self sovereignty and Bitcoin.

Don’t need the money, don’t need the tenant, everybody has to do what I want or they don’t get anything they want.

This is the way.

Someone formerly in my life that I once cared for very much would not listen to me about bitcoin at $16k. They said their financial advisor said it was not a good investment.

Bitcoin is close to breaking ATHs and the company that their financial advisor works offers a Bitcoin ETF.

Selling stuff on an online marketplace, a supposed buyer made her enter her bank details to claim payment for a sale… it’s really messed up and there were a 100 red flags she noticed but proceeded anyways…

GF just got scammed out of some serious money… be careful out there 💜
