How do you find balance past the horizon? Shadowy Super Coder; #nostr is the internets killer app

This one's the gold standard IMO. The rabbit hole is deep, but the important parts are all at the surface.

QubesOS is great when you want VMs with hardcore hardware isolation out of the box.

NixOS is great when you just want to do whatever you want, with hardcore reproducibility...including everything that Qubes does with isolation.

I spent 8 years paying for my first (new) car. I bought it nearly 25 years ago. I still use it a few times a week to this day, so the mileage I've accumulated divided by the cost in early 90s dollars has been a great value me.

Some people would have gone through 8, 9, 10 cars over that time, which seems insane to me.

Yeah but, it's not the first time, that's the thing. We periodically align with that book in similar fashions (human nature and human lifespans maybe), but Renaissance our way out of it.

The only "this time is different" argument I can make is that, humanity as a whole is operating as (very close to) a single entity now. In the not so distant past, I'd argue we were much more decentralized as a species.

Too dark and niche for it's own brilliance

How folks could love Breaking Bad but be indifferent to Mr Robot baffles me. Until I realize more viewers can relate to drugs & crime than technology and power 😔

Nocoiners look at me like I'm crazy when I start talking about the global south, *real* debt slavery, and bitcoin adoption for those folks.

Some bitcoiners do too, even if its more subtle.

Far too many self-described “libertarian” bitcoiners have a super caricatured view of what a progressive is and progressive values. We are all individuals with our own thoughts, experiences, and views.

When I say more diversity at bitcoin conferences would be good, it’s not for a status quo, tokenization, or this whole narrative people fuel themselves with from twitter. It’s because Bitcoin is global and the world’s largest bitcoin conference should showcase it, along with some already awesome speakers! That’s it. If we can’t suggest improvements in the community, then what’re we doing here? The status quo “libertarian” carnivore bitcoin maxi can suggest things, but not me. Got it. Freedom ftw.

There’s room for everyone here. Running nostr:npub1fpcd25q2zg09rp65fglxuhp0acws5qlphpg88un7mdcskygdvgyqfv4sld has actually given me a newfound appreciation for the word “progressive.” What’s more progressive than freedom tech and bitcoin? We are making progress, together, and I welcome interactions with all view points. I’m a freedom-maximalist, and I want everyone to be able to live how they want as long as you’re not causing harm to others.

Some of you bitcoiners need to hear this: stop picking fights with progressive/left leaning bitcoiners. We are on the same team here advocating for bitcoin’s success and greater adoption for a better world. Open dialogue, pushback, discussion is one thing—but hateful interactions, name calling, or personal threats is childish and not helping anyone. Let’s build bridges and promote inclusion. Me expressing simple views is not a threat to you or to bitcoin.

I am not a political progressive.

I am not a radical progressive.

I have a low time preference, I'm future oriented. But I always look back where many would say never look back. The past is real; the future is not (yet!)

I am a literal progressive, who literally wants to conserve humanity's strengths.

I'm a progressive-conservative. And I'm totally fine with it.

Whether the packages traveled by air or by land or by teleportation (🤣), you still need enough drivers to deliver them to the door at the end. No amount of efficiency or innovation can change this fact. Except maybe teleportation.

Try wireguard or tail scale (a nice UX for wireguard)

Lots of times when I'm away, my internet may fail, but my home services are all fully operational, some of which...provide internet! 😉
