Last Notes npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre It's a right pain. Need a bitcoin node first of course, which takes ages to build and sync. Then you gotta put some capital into the channels, and knowing where to open them is tricky. There exist automated systems to do channel management, but are they any good? npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre > Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell ‘hyper personalized’ ads npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre It's Saint George's day! npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Best show so far. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre What's gonna really break your noodle, is so did the generation before them with their global wars. Suspect maybe every generation does it in their own way. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Sure. They pass the Kitemark assessments needed by retailers in the EU. And the chicken isn't chlorinated and the beef isn't full of growth hormones. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre As a Brit I hope the UK picks China! They make loads of cool stuff whereas the US just makes software that spies on you and otherwise enshitifies. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre I keep hearing Americans saying that China has been manipulating the Yuan for a long time, as though America never adjusts their interest rates or does quantitative easing. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Delete all IPV4 npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Walter off of Breaking Bad gets into a hole and keeps digging. He's getting better and better at being bad. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Indeed, so what do we call it? Inside out trading? Public manipulative trading? npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre "Insider trading" is what they call it when someone has advanced knowledge of economic numbers or a policy change and trades on that knowledge. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre It's an AI dystopia where everywhere that isn't locked down gets DDOSED by AI scrapers and the only things left in open access is the spam the AIs write themselves. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Seems like they want to fix the balance of trade with the rest of the world, which may be a laudable aim, but there's a reason it's so skewed: The dollar. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Can you see on the graph the moment when the liberation came? 😅 npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Really amazing how they can label the biggest tax rises on America seen since the big wars as "liberation day" and people swallow it. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Lightning already allows microsats, and the on chain's fees will never really go below one sat per byte, however much a sat is worth, so it'll never need the change. If sats are the equivalent of a hundred dollars each (though the actual dollar is long gone by then) then fees will just be hundreds of dollars per byte. The chain will be that full. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Water bill is up 30%, primarily to pay interest in bad debt borrowed to enrich shareholders. Gotta pay it this month. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Thing about that story where the pot calls the kettle black is the pot isn't wrong though. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Shortly the chancellor of the exchequer will do a budget in which she's expected to cut a wide range of benefits and allowances and generally try and balance the books by taking from the poor to give to the rich. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Apparently Elon thinks he's going to send one of his humanoid "Optimus" robots on a rocket to Mars at the end of next year. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Because Android is a spying machine from a surveillance capitalist with undeletable cookies before you even log in, and iOS is locked down so hard you have to pay for a license to program it. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Oh no, if boycotting Tesla is illegal I'll have to buy one, but I haven't got enough money 😭 npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Today is Online Safety Day because the terrible awful Online Safety Law comes into affect this month. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Why limited edition even? Just release both and let the market decide which sells more 😆 npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre It's broken, it didn't recommend following me! 😆 npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre What happens if they just keep stacking anyway? Does the IMF invade? npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre "Tone and body language", plus a "lack of respect" are the things which Trump objected to, which blew his deal up and left him failing to reach any agreement. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Mostly because I loaned them things, that's the primary reason. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Sounds like that time when the government gave SpaceX billions of dollars to make a moon mission and got nothing but a failed rocket that blew up trying to carry a banana around the world. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Went to a friend's birthday party, played some songs on the synth with the loop pedal. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre You'd think they'd wake up. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Well, well. If you want to encrypt your backup data in the UK you'll have to do it yourself with open tools because Apple have removed encryption from uk backups rather than create a master-key to let the government decrypt everything. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Went to see a comedian called Rob Auton [www.robauton.co.uk] do a work-in-progress show at the local little theater. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Read "Making Sense Of Chaos" by J Doyne Farmer, in which he describes some of the problems with standard static economic models and his successes with instead using "complexity economics", where he's building giant models of economies out of interactions between software simulated people called agents. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre "Fraud" is the excuse that private health care insurance companies use to deny the care that people need and leave people suffering and dead for the money on the bottom like. Guess that's coming to Medicaie too then. 100 billion dollars wasted on "fraudulently" treating cancer and heart disease. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre > Group of Labour MPs urge No 10 to be tougher on migration to fend off Reform npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre What makes people think they have any right to tell other people where they may or may not live? 🤷♂️ npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre The Maga crowd cheering on tariffs and insisting that they make America strong and will force their opponents to capitulate sound exactly like the Brexiters did five years ago. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre What if your government is in fact just trying to distract you while they loot the state and consolidate power and control? npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre *Ten million people, obviously. I accidentally a word. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre A bit surprising that Trump would want 30 million extra liberal-leaning voters ready and likely to vote against him, but in the ridiculous ludicrous unlikely hypothetical where Canada joined the US surely it'd be about three or four states, not just one. Average state size is less than a ten people. Quebec would demand independent statehood at least. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Quitting your job is a very holy act, well done. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Nobody will win this battle, even Bitcoin's price will suffer. World trade will suffer. Americans and Canadians and Mexicans and Chinese will suffer. America started the fight by punching themselves in the face, and then Canada and Mexico follow suit. All wars are dumb but this is a very very dumb war. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Twitter doesn't have any users, it only has a boss with political power. That's what they're buying access to, not the bots and troll that lurk on that nazi troll website. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre So you'd rather program yourself and society and the kids to believe false things that aren't true, in order to prevent awareness of systematic injustice? npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Sounds like you want the Church Of England. Anglican ministers are mostly fairly atheist. After all, it was started just to get a king a divorce. 😄 npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Nor did OpenAI, who pirated the entire web. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Rachel Reeves is delivering her speech from Siemens rather than to the commons, I guess because Business is the most important thing now? npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Lots of folks spreading warnings: Oh, careful what you type into DeepSeek! It might be spying on you for the communist Chinese government. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre I would assume that if the Dollar collapses, it collapses in inflation, and so the debts become more unburdensome as that moment approaches. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre The best economics video of the day though is Gary Stephenson again, on Novara Media's "Downstream" npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Watched https://youtu.be/xRX7l_2HZEw this morning. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Got my Strike account / app up and running. Seems pretty cool. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre I tell you what will really drive US government efficiency: A really slow redundant inefficient database! npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre I mean I haven't disabled the bridge either, so it's possible someone is following my fedi account through a bridge but if they do I don't know about it. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre I've never bridged from Fedi to Nostr, always been separate accounts. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Hummm, was hoping I could configure it more directly than through Alby but if it's gonna require a proxy of some sort anyway. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Right, well, I seem to have managed to connect a wallet such that I can send a zap now but my .onion "lightning address" isn't apparently valid for putting in my profile to receive them. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre humm, I think I made my first zap work and obviously it didn't look like I had so I retried and then it did it twice. Ha. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Well exactly, if you want to be able to add an extension then renting isn't gonna work. Best not have a baby or whatever. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre You gotta admit that "Strategic Shitcoin Stockpile" has better alliteration than "Strategic Bitcoin Reserves". 🤣 npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Well, at least I managed to upgrade Debian and the Lightning Node and the Bitcoin node and LNBits, so my wallet will no longer complain lnd is out of date. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre I feel like such a sucker having installed #Umbrel a while back only to apparently have them rug-pull the entire system and now (well, since April apparently, it's not supposed to need constant attending to here) they want me to wipe and reinstall it all. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Property as an investment is probably a bad idea, but thinking your landlord is going to maintain your home properly seems like a pipe dream. Landlords suck. They're unresponsive, unwilling to spend even on repair let alone improvement. Plus they're nosey, always coming around inspecting and placing rules on what you can do. Want a dog? Gotta get the landlords permission I'm afraid. Want to build an extension? Gotta get the landlord's permission I'm afraid. Want to repaint or improve the insulation? Gotta wait til the landlord will pay, if they'll do it at all. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Watched "The Ark", a SyFy show about a space-ship fleeing a doomed Earth, which is damaged by an accident killing half the crew as the rest come out of stasis in the opening scenes. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Something like this will happen to Sol next cycle. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Everyone gets a pardon today! Democrats all pardoned by Biden, Republicans all pardoned by Trump. It's a complete crime reset! A crime jubilee! npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre There's people saying Trump's worth is 90% in crypto now, that he's a crypto whale, that this coin of his means he's one of the richest people in the world npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Oh, here comes another one, for Melania now. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Trump: npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre The USA is the Mafia now. Pay the protection money and you get to stay alive. The price is the same as Putin's price for operating business in Russia: 50%. Half. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre So does he have enough money to buy Greenland yet? 😆 npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Some people were worried today that Trump's twitter had been hacked to announce a fake Trump crypto shitcoin scam! npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre But there are so many trump shitcoins now, how am I supposed to know which one to buy? npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre I'd rather than government-money than party-in-power-money. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre It has at least clued me in to why my verification .well-known isn't right. CORS stuff. Might try and address that at the weekend maybe. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Always seems to happen on satellite earth too, and often on snort. Devs not testing in Firefox probably? Let alone Librewolf. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Trying out nostrudel.ninja npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre I mostly switch between snort.social , primal.net and satellite.earth because they're all broken in one way or another but between them they do most of the needed things 😆 npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre You keep going around and around and around all the different clients. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre But everyone's crazy. Every person that exists. Mad, the lot of them. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre HNY npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Dude, I love you but everything about that page is terrible. Your slogan is 15 words and ought to be 3, maximum 5. I'm not good at it but "Uncensored messages for everyone" or "Talk without fear" or "Your community without gatekeepers". npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre The other thing is that Pete reckoned half the reason for the re-brand was embarrassment at telling dinner-dates his podcast's name, coz it has bitcoin in it, and now he's gonna have to tell all his dates that he is mister obnoxious. 😂 Should go down well. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Will you feel as though you need to be more obnoxious now in order to justify the show-name? if not consciously, then subconsciously? Hope not. Obnoxiousness isn't all all gratifying in a host. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Heh. "All eternity" is pretty optimistic. Have you made a succession plan for responsibilities for the server after your death? 😆 npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Question: How big will the blockchain be when the last satoshi is mined? npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre 🤔 Seems hardly any point in it being on-chain at all then if every request to move one ends in a call to a central Tether server. npub1pkhzm90462y3cfat45m25nmz6p9ku0lw0ak4fqjttpy8qvfhrymqjlln8r Pre Is World War Three bullish 🐮 or bearish 🐻 ?
