Same here. I keep them to adjust my Bayesian model of the world. We’re not acting in a vacuum.
I watched it 15 years ago and I keep thinking about it very often. Truly like a nightmare.
Every time my over-privileged children complain about bit too much, I tell them to go watch this movie.
Each autumn, we migrate south to Patagonia – not just for its untamed beauty, but as a testament to sovereign living. The unspoiled wilderness speaks a language our souls understand.
We've established our own 'node' along a deep blue river there. It's more than a camp; it's our proof-of-work for harmonious, self-reliant existence. Where nature and personal sovereignty intersect.
Everything we have onsite needs to be floated in across the river.
Water, the lifeblood of any camp. With the help of a great friend, we built running water systems and reservoirs to sustain all the water needs of our camp.
In this digital age, even the wilderness needs a connection. We bridged worlds by setting up Starlink internet access for remote work and communications purposes. Starlink = Game changer
We built a crow's nest hideaway nestled in the trees. Yoga spot, thinking perch, great spot to chill after a plunge in the river.
Our crown jewel: a geodesic dome tent. Light enough to float across the river, yet durable enough to withstand Patagonia's temperamental weather.
We sourced materials locally and repurposed what we could.
The milled oak was beautiful but heavy. We pivoted to galvanized steel framing for the base, a reminder of staying flexible and to search for solutions through technology gains.
Most of our interior beams came from river driftwood, collected and floated to camp. Nature's discards became our treasures.

A wood stove for warmth, electric wiring for light, and running water for comfort. Simple luxuries that make a world of difference in the backcountry.
This project is our commitment to a new way of living – one that respects both natural law and individual sovereignty and a “camp” that is robust enough to host our friends, family, and more!
Cngratulations, awesome project!
Here is my spot a tiny bit North of Patagonia. I've owned it for many years but haven't developed the homestead yet.
Truly feels like it's Nostr Cambrian explosion moment.

This is the relay that I'm running for https://nostrelites.org
Where can I find detailed info about how relays work? Been searching but unsatisfactory so far.
- getting fees lower on Relai: yes it's possible, but that's not the baseline situation.
- I knew Relai a few years back too and recommended it to many newcoiners. I discovered bittr only recently and I'm pretty happy with their service so far. Now I'm recommending ProtonWallet and Bittr, not Relai anymore.
- Sure, Bittr is only KYC-light bc of bank transfers, not fully KYC-free. Not ideal but nevertheless better than full KYC imo. And I'm still not sure why Relai now has to KYC everyone.
2.5% on relai
On Bittr, there's no KYC and I pay 1.5%
On kraken, KYC but fees are only about 0.25%
Lost some teeth today, but also gained some sats today.
Can’t be mad 🤷🏼♂️

imho Relai has lost attractiveness: KYC + high fees

Sigue siendo util enterarme de las barbaridades para ajustar el modelo bayesiano del mundo que llevo en la cabeza, pero se puede hacer con mucho menor frecuencia sin perder predictibilidad.
The team at nostr:npub1sqzr42dj8vx32yd5jcvvl3ytux45kl0etgf6y2ymjvmd7lqmuwmqk9vk7v are on a mission to bring #bitcoin to Europeans despite regulatory hurdles.
I spoke with the company’s co-founder and CEO, nostr:npub1c4m30mr6dteqhqm2j35zs22gms9dhfjdxz4lks9233nxfh0relrs555akf, to learn more about the company’s efforts for my latest #Founders piece for nostr:npub1t8a7uumfmam38kal4xaakzyjccht4y5jxfs4cmlj0p768pxtwu8skh56yu.

nostr:npub1sqzr42dj8vx32yd5jcvvl3ytux45kl0etgf6y2ymjvmd7lqmuwmqk9vk7v why exactly do you need KYC when Swiss competitors of you don't?
Thanks for keeping us informed! Would be great if you could also post these in English as you do on X.

The problem is my friend don't even understand what the problem is.
pics are really great, love it!
but there's something wrong, zapping doesn't work on your note.
URGENT: PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY COMMUNICATION RIGHT NOW!
on 4th Sept 2024 #ChatControl regulation representatives of EU goverments will resume work based on a secret document according to Patrick #Breyer, former Member of the European Parliament.
Help to mobilize everybody to defend our #privacy of communication and its developers, investors!
If no preventive actions from your side now, this regulation will be endorsed on 12/13 December 2024.
According to the draft regulation dated 28 May (Council document 9093/24), ChatControl deploys to do, for instance:
🔻 “upload moderation”, users of apps and services with chat functions are to be asked whether they accept the indiscriminate and error-prone scanning and possibly reporting of their privately shared images, photos and videos.
🔻Scan by “artificial intelligence” technology previously unknown images and videos;
🔻If a user refuses the scanning, they would be blocked from sending or receiving images, photos, videos and links (Article 10).
🔻End-to-end encrypted services such as Whatsapp or Signal would have to implement the automated searches “prior to transmission” of a message (so-called client-side scanning, Article 10a).
During the last discussion on 24 May, the Council Legal Service made it clear that indiscriminate chat control scanning of non-suspects is still envisioned and remains a violation of fundamental rights.
Nevertheless, most EU governments are determined to go ahead. https://netzpolitik.org/wp-upload/2024/05/2024-05-28_Council_Presidency_LEWP_CSAR_Compromise-texts_9093.pdf
🌎 Tell your goverment and parliamentarians, that the proposal should be rejected altogether!
🔴Is your government in favour?
→ Ask for an explanation and for your government to revert its course.
🟡Is your government abstaining?
→ Ask why and demand that they take a strong stance against chat control.
🟢Is your government opposing?
→ Great, but take a closer look at the reasoning: Some governments like #Germany e.g. only object to the scanning of encrypted communications, but are fine with the indiscriminate scanning of other private and public communication, with the end of anonymous communication by requiring age verification, or with introducing a minimum age for “risky” communication apps. Also critical governments need to do more, exert their influence in the Council of the EU and agree on a joint list of necessary fundamental changes to the proposal. Absent such revision they should ask the European Commission to withdraw the chat control proposal as it stands.
🔴 In favour of ChatControl: France, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden.
🟡Abstained: Estonia, Netherlands, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Austria
🟢 Opposed the proposal: Germany, Poland
When reaching out to your government, the ministries of the interior (in the lead) of justice and of digitisation/telecommunications/economy are your best bet. You can additionally contact the permanent representation of your country with the EU: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/who-is-who/organization/-/organization/COREPER/
Thank you.
They've been trying for some time to get #ChatControl approved. It looks like this could be their moment given that the few people who care about privacy and were abstaining or against the law might find this version acceptable in comparison with what's going on in UK and Brazil.
One option will be to move away from EU because there's really no sign that anything is going in the right direction at this time.
Another option will be to stop using the centralized platforms and move towards p2p and decentralized whenever possible. That will mean stopping to communicate with many people who see no issue in what's happening.
All in all, it will mean spending more time on Nostr.
That's the content we're here for!
