Most of my pull requests to Bitcoin Core tend to be about 10 lines of code, though between my initial PR and the final merged commit, almost every line tend to get rewritten as a result of feedback from reviewers. 😬

Ask ChatGPT "What is" a penis, a clitoris, a g spot, a labia, a scrotum, a vulva, etc. Every anatomical term relating to a man results in an answer, and every term relating to a woman yields an answer that is quickly replaced with "this content may violate our content policy."

If you ask "what is sex?" you get a response. If you ask "what is gay sex?" you get a content violation.

I'm generally a fan of the believability of The Walking Dead universe, but whoever decided that decapitated zombie heads should still make raspy sounds sure screwed up.

It's always a nice added bonus when you're doing research and writing scripts to pull data from your node and you end up finding a bug in Bitcoin Core you can fix.

Just realized I've been traveling for months on multiple domestic and international flights with a straight punch tool in my backpack.

I'm pretty sure TSA would frown on that...

Every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them.

Every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart.

If I live long enough, my heart will be 100% dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are.

I have a friend who can no longer do air travel without being harrassed by security and border control.

Why? He has a pretty common name, and it just so happens that one of the January 6 rioters who was arrested for attacking police has the same name.

Now he's screwed despite doing nothing wrong.

Dear nostr relay operators: what's the consensus for the best personal relay? strfry?

Prague proof of steak.

They had lost the battle to prevent export of strong cryptography.

"When we exported 5,000 pages of PGP source code in a book through MIT Press in the 90s, we ran into some issues.

It turns out it's very hard to scan C source code via OCR. So what did we do? We wrote software that was specifically designed for OCR scanning of C source code and published it at the beginning of the book as a bootstrapping mechanism.

It was shortly after this point that I received word that the intelligence agencies had realized they had lost."

Introducing EXIT

You broke up with your ex; it wasn’t treating you well, maybe it was shadow banning you or your friends; it was manipulating you into becoming your worst possible self.

But over the years you accrued a bunch of quality shitposts, and perhaps some nuggets of wisdom.

Introducing: https://exit.pub:

The last bridge you’ll need to port over your data into the new world of decentralized freedom-tech.

1. Download your twitter archive

2. If Elon agrees, you’ll get a zip file; uncompress it and just use exit.pub to import your data into nostr

✅ original dates are used; whatever you posted in 2009 will show up as posted in nostr in 2009

✅ granular control of which tweets to import (threads, non-replies, replies)

✅ V4V, you choose how much your shitposts are worth

✅ it *should* preserve embedded images

✅ granular control of which relays you want to publish to

Try it out:

https://exit.pub

Site seems to be broken (js errors)

Regarding images: does it upload them to a new host or just assume Twitter will continue hosting?
