I’ve now had 2 work Telegram accounts banned with no reason given. The second one was a paid account, no difference. If we didn’t need it for comms with a third party it’d be all aboard the self-hosting train.

We need fewer men’s retreats and more men’s attacks.
Yesterday I swapped a coil on a generator. Today I swapped a network switch in -30 weather in the dark with a headlamp. Would still rate this best job I’ve had in the last decade ❤️
(To be fair the “in the dark with a headlamp” part was by choice; I wanted the most miserable task of the day done and gone.)

But do we want them here? I’m torn. I’d love to onboard my extended family but I see what they post and engage with and sometimes think it’s better to leave them in the trad SM mental asylum than bring them and their troubles here 🫤

Dammit I forgot to tag #cashu #ecash
I got it up and tested: It’s >1mbps download and upload, which is enough for messaging (as advertised), but you definitely wouldn’t be streaming media (ie Spotify) on it.

Have you ever wanted to print your own money, but didn't want to go to jail? Now you can!
Joking aside, I've assembled a proof-of-concept for a cash version of Bitcoin. See the video for a quick into, and the website (https://bem.taylorperron.com) for more details.

ISO someone to draw me a waifu decal for / of my car (Yuki, a light-blue 2004 Lexus RX330). Chibi style, dark hair, puffy light-blue winter coat (doesn't need to be the same blue as the car). Holding a Toyota 3MZ-FE engine like a toddler holds a house cat (engine doesn't need to be highly detailed, just vaguely recognizable). Will provide reference photos of the car and engine and more details as requested. Budget is 150k sats, but there's wiggle room if you can either make a good argument for more or if I fall in love with your style (portfolio or samples links appreciated).

Really? Damn… The last time I played with that stuff you had to depend on other server operators being willing to let yours connect, but nothing like this. I wonder if Bluesky added their own special sauce on top of the open source protocols? 🤷♂️
Nice! I should be doing that with more of my downloads 😅

My local farmers market is outdoors in a town that’s pretty much always windy. And every market there’s ladies trying to make their tents and tables
✨✨cute and dainty✨✨
only to have their stuff blowing away.
I get that wire jewelry and lace are hard to sell with brutalist decor, but y’all might want to consider less floof and more concrete blocks 😅
A follow-up to yesterday’s story.
The RCMP have no evidence, have filed no charges, the company is not Canadian, and they seized the customer’s funds, not just the company’s.
I’m getting flashbacks to the CRA seizing my money. “You MIGHT owe us, so we’re taking everything.” Straight-up theft.
This is a reminder to not trust your money to others. No banks, no exchanges, no “wealth management”, no retirement plans, no funds… The government is going to steal it and tell you it’s your fault.

Mini-rant:
Since when did running a lightning node become a rich person's activity? Exchange rates have 3-4Xed since I last set one up but the generally accepted minimum channel size is still 1M sats. That means roughly $5-10K CAD minimum in liquidity for a minimally functional node. I'm not trying to make money with this node, just use it for a proof-of-concept project. Yes, I could use testnet for technical testing, but if you want to demo to normies you need to be able to move real money around.
As usually, the solution to my worldly problems is to stop being poor.

My theory is that these people know that cheap isn’t going to be good or fast but don’t want to acknowledge it. They know most of well-ordered society associates being outwardly cheap with being slimy, untrustworthy, and cheating, but don’t want to be seen that way, so they choose cheap then feign surprise at the results in hopes that their peers will assume they wanted to choose otherwise but couldn’t.

At this point most of us have heard of vibecoding, but what about bribecoding? Like, if I wanted to see custom blossom server support in @npub18m7…q955 by the end of September, could I zap that into existence? What might that cost?

“This isn’t…a picture of my butthole.”
-Julian 2025
Etch it in gold and hang it on your wall. By this time next year the quote will be worth more than the gold it’s written on 🤣
🙋♂️ Technology professional for 20ish years, in Bitcoin since 2012, still haven’t caught up 😅 It really is an ever-evolving marathon.
One of the things that helps me not get overwhelmed is keeping my “threat model” in mind. Threat modelling is when you sit down and figure out what the realistic threats to your security are. For example, mine is things like misplacing my wallets or not documenting my processes, not state-level hackers specifically targeting me. So I keep multiple seed backups and try to document my technical processes, and I haven’t bothered to go down the rabbit hole of an ultra-secure/sovereign phone.
Threat models (and our responses to their elements) are going to be different for everyone.

You should follow @npub1tga…0rjf for good timeline cleanse content 👀
He mostly posts Kind20 / Olas photos so you’ll need a client that shows those (calling out @npub18m7…q955 😏).
