Can someone explain to me why I would want to have a home miner? As I currently understand It would be very unlikely for me to actually mine a block as a solo miner.

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s is there a test flight app for damus on andriod I can download?

because it's my money, and I need it now!

My biggest fear right now is losing all my BTC due to poor opsec.

- using a computer connected to the internet to sign transactions

- kyc exchanges (swan)

I mean I'm not that afraid. It will be a good experience if you can believe it.

It's just the starting over from zero that spooks me. If I restart at all.

I'm using Gossip client, and my nip-05 has a strike through it. I set up everything as described in different guides.

Does anyone have any pointers? What information do you need from me?

My next nostr project will be to host my own nostr relay. I've settled on strfry, it seems like it is widely used so resources will be more available.

I think I'm finally nip-05 verified. Although I'm not being very good with Opsec since I'm tying this my IRL identity.

How expensive is streaming video? Like if I were to host my own streaming platform for example. How much would it cost? And what techniques could I use to reduce costs?

What is the name for getting ratio'd on nostr?

Would love to get some advice. I often think about leaving tech and moving into blue collar jobs, any guidance would be appreciated.

The biggest thing is the money. I make really good money, which makes it really hard to leave. I have a house too.

I know I will have to take a pay cut to switch careers.

I'm also 35yo.

How many blue collar type people are on here?

So thanks, Nostr. For keeping me humble.

This is also a blessing of things like rejoining Nostr again. It's humbling because there are so many programmers on here shipping some really interesting tools. I can barely wrap my head around some of it. It's humbling because how much I don't know is so apparent.

https://suckless.org/ has been a big source of inspiration for me. Because so much of what they build is simple and elegant. Purpose built. Good.

The more I work on stuff like this, the more frustration I feel in my day job. Because I feel like I do is contribute more shit software to a shit software saturated world.

I've been reading up on C the last few weeks. So far I am enjoying it. It's hard. I am not a formally educated progammer so learning C has highlighted to me a lot of these gaps.

One thing I like about C is the same thing I like about Go: Very small lexicon.

I know C is dangerous and all, but I think that is a plus in a way. Because it forces you to be smart with your code. Like drawing with pen instead of pencil.
