#GM folks. Just found this band out of Germany while listening to Communion After Dark, and this is just too fun not to share.

Their song Punk's Not Dead is another awesome mash between oldschool punk and industrial dance music. A band worth keeping an eye on.

I still fuck around with IRC from time to time but it definitely has fallen off heavily in the last 5-10 years. Usenet does have its pockets of activity but it's definitely more of an older generational thing. Misc.survival and comp.misc were two places that at least last I checked had some decent activity if that's your thing. Most of Usenet is definitely a wasteland though, made harder to navigate because some of the groups still just get flooded with bots and literally nothing else.

Also spent a bit of time on the BBS message networks such ad Dovenet and Fidonet. Similarly older crowd. The charm of ANSI art on BBS's is something I'll always appreciate.

It does certainly give you more skin in the game, both in terms of quantity of inheritance, as well as the necessity to handle it correctly (to be cold and calculating about it). To anyone NOT familiar, very worth your time to check out Liana wallet to do this well.

Hmm...I wonder how long this will be reliable.

Also COULD depend which relays they use. Given that most of us use a cluster of the same ones if nothing else you are at least likely to see someone responding to them I suppose. But if they do just spin up their own relays and/or only post to some fringe ones you may end up missing out.

Not to tell you how to pick your follows, especially as someone already connected. But I do think it's worth sharing the nuance on especially for new folks here trying to figure out how to build their network to begin with (as well as some of the weirdness pertaining to how content moves on Nostr).

As a podcaster maybe you can set the trend that when people say "I'm on Nostr" and then laugh about how they can't provide their npub on a podcast, maybe point out that NIP-05 is a lot easier (and more secure anyway). I've heard this already from a few Primal users, but I'm sick of facepalming when people feel like they can't actually share their most important of online identities because of the length of an npub. Pass it on.

You retired? Who's watching your kid now then?

Or you just mean from your fiat job...

Parents are never retired until their offspring are at LEAST 18. Some of them just quit their second job.

Amethyst has a sort of scrolling feed that reminded me of TikTok. That said, the functionality leaves a bit to be desired. Honestly not sure how much of that is on Amethyst and how much is on the relays. If you've not seen it may be worth taking a look.

Coffechain, always good to help one get up in the morning.

That's great news! What about the prisoners that Hamas holds in custody since October 7? Was freeing them required as part of the deal to get the hostages back?

Jasmine rice is definitely weird to make with Japanese food, but all in all I'm pretty happy with my stir fry teriyaki chicken. #Foodstr

Looking forward to this, especially on desktop. Web pages are nice and all, but Nostr deserves a dedicated application, and nothing I've seen yet really makes the cut. Onward and upward.

Cheeky because you used tallow rendered from the cheek to sautee them in?

I lost 40 lbs going keto for like, 9 months, but did spike my blood pressure and cholesterol pretty seriously (even admitting that my HDL:LDL was reasonable, it wasn't great having to have the 50th percentile represented over on the left size of my graph...). Not to dissuade you, just to point out, maybe don't make protein powder pudding using heavy cream on a daily basis like I did. Stuck sort of crashing back to "try not to have a heart attack within the next 2 years" in every way I can -- hopefully without direct medication but we'll see if that's necessary.

Make sure to chow down on olive/avocado oil, fish, and some good sources of fiber. And then yea...enjoy some beef hearts.

Do him the solid my parents didn't do me -- have him try some beef heart sooner rather than later.

Seriously, how did I need to get to be almost 40 before trying this stuff? And how the hell is it so cheap? The supplement pills that you replace with it alone cost more, never mind the fact that it's delicious (and a great way source of tallow to render for other cooking needs).

Also, if you or your wife have any favorite recipes as the ones that spring to mind first when I think of maybe almost a little too enthusiastic about beef, I'd love to hear. Made some in a slow cooker last night very simple with salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder, topped with onions, served with kraut and rice, and have my eye on Moroccan beef heart stew (as well as perhaps some beef heart bulgogi), but I figure the way to get to eat more of it is to drag my family along, and that'd be easier if I can find a recipe they're into -- which would necessarily mean no kraut. Wonder how well kushiyaki would come out with made with heart instead of flank steak... Or beef heart tacos...

"You can't have any dessert until you eat your heart out" has a nice ring to it.

@ODELL, whatchu tryna pull posting a censored version of a music video on Nostr?

Feels like some 6d chess going on here...

Okay #foodstr, the store had beef hearts on the cheap. Gimme your best #BeefHeart #recipes.

Already got one diced in the slow cooker with salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano topped with onions that I'm gonna eat over rice with some proper fermented kraut. Interested in other methods of preparation y'all are into.

Interesting. Curious that it's for MacOS. Also would be awesome to see it done using the Knots mempool policy defaults, especially given that it aims to be so easy to deploy, but for such an early state, neat project. And as much as I don't end up with macs ever, they're probably actually not too hard to come by in the used market given the propensity of their primary market to want the latest and greatest.

Is that celcius or freedom units? Been that cold here for a good few days if it's celcius -- I'd not think a Canadian would consider that cold in the first place. If it's freedom units, then yea...that's pretty darn nippy.

#GM #plebchain. IBD on my new #Bitcoin node is seemingly speeding up a bit, after a few grueling days digesting some really gross ordinal crap from 2023 and early 2024 -- looks like average block size drops off a little after April so hopefully we can finally be done after nearly 2 weeks of this process. Just to be clear, when people say "it's faster with an SSD" they really mean "no really...get an SSD." I doubt I'll care as much once I finally have the electrum DB set up and it's just dealing with one block at a time, but this has been grueling to watch as my mechanical usb drive has kept things choked out.

In case anyone's wondering though, it is still technically possible to run a node on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a mechanical USB 3.0 hard drive. Now that I've told you though, you can spare yourself the experience of bothering to do so and just go buy $80 worth of better hardware on eBay.
