How can you not be worried, that the end will come out wrong? My Master has that job, mine is to do just what He said. Obedience is freedom. If I had no King to love, I would be ruled by passions, when my passions I must rule.

Last Notes npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Anyone know what the Rumble Wallet actually is? What protocols? Where is wallet stored? The ads are very vague. It sounds like maybe keys are stored centrally encrypted by a passphrase. The ads emphasize "non-custodial". I'm certainly not going to "just download" a proprietary app - but if it's actually, e.g. Lightning, or some other layer 2, maybe I could tip creators. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Waiting for people to show up to Nost Bible Study on Corny Chat. I'll give up at 8:30 npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Dec 30, 2025 - I forgot to enable WebRTC for CornyChat (recently upgraded). Everyone gave up. Neglected Prawn and Mr. Orange showed up briefly a few time, but not together. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Small Language Model (SLM) is the most bang for buck at home. Input is structured, no attempt at natural language. Structured input helps the user as well. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I became a card carrying member of Set Free in 1990. "I don't own a TV set, and I encourage others to do the same." npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Utility belt. 19th century style with gold chains - or Batman style. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed The hotspot router is just as traceable as a phone. It has nothing to do with the OS or apps on the device. It is the nature of cell networks. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed There's more than one way to destroy a city. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Is this a new time for NostrBibleStudy? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed https://npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3.blossom.band/124ac81313f3c82a61a315afdace9f59e060fbce5fa24d9fcce144c48d97bb0c.jpg npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Except when you burn a LGBTGIA+ flag. Then you get 15 years. Note that Trump's EO doesn't prohibit flag burning in general, but flag burning "with the intent to incite violence". This is in line with both the Constitution and the SCOTUS ruling. Proving intent is tricky, but maybe a few will serve the 1 year sentence. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed World ID https://world.org/ is a globally centralized verified digital ID platform. CACert https://cacert.org is a federated system to meetup with people IRL and verify their pubkeys (sign their certs) as sponsored by real humans. Nostr is based on digital IDs. Is there a convention whereby users can sign other users pubkey at meetups IRL to vouch that they are a Real Human? (Or at least a bot controlled by a Real Human. The Real Human status of globalists is indeterminate.) The PGP web of trust worked like that. (I suppose Nostr doesn't use PGP keys because they are too large being RSA?) npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed How do you know/suspect it is Mossad? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I am helping unload a truck. Can't make it tonight. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Leaf technology. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Ancient porn had live actors on a stage. That somehow seems less depraved than AI girlfriends/husbands. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed UTC is just another calendar. You want a straight single number, counting some units some an origin. You'll want a stable frame of reference also that is easily quantified - otherwise I'd pick the CMB (Cosmic Microwave Backgroup) FoR (in which the universe is ~5.5 days old). For the foreseeable future, this means Earth FoR. Bitcoin blocks is not a useful time unit for future events either. Seconds are pretty universal on Earth, and well standardized. What is the Bitcoin genesis block time origin in secs since 1970 or some standard calendar? Note that modern calendars depend on observations to determine leap seconds - so future date display may be off by a second or two. Lunar calendars generally have leap months - and in the Hebrew calendar, the leap month is applied according to an official New Moon observation in Israel. This can be affected by war or weather, so you can't always predict when the next leap month will be, and future date display may be off by a lunar month. But, this is part of the charm of lunar calendars. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed With decades of experience with Roman, Jewish, Arabic calendars, that is not the way. Record calendar events as unix time (e.g. signed 64 bit secs since 1970) and calendar type (and thus how dates are displayed) is selected in the client. You could call it "star date" (since calendars and day length were different on every planet) or "nostradate" and pick a funky origin. Java time uses 64 bit milliseconds since 1970 - that works too. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Until Messiah returns. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty fill His sanctuary. https://biblehub.com/psalms/96-5.htm npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Or a squirrel suit. (Those look fun on drone TV.) npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I'm hoping to make a similar system for gold for fast and cheap payment in au. Evening up node balances is slower and more expensive than bitcoin, but the balances are still there when there is no power or internet. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed https://greekcitytimes.com/2025/04/26/greek-woman-files-for-divorce-after-chatgpt-reads-husbands-affair-in-coffee-cup/ npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Gnome Boxes is just another front end to KVM. The minimalist front end to KVM is virsh (CLI). VirtualBox works on hardware where the ISA does not support virtual machines (or where said, *cough* Intel, instructions are buggy and insecure). Instead of full emulation, it patches the ram of supported OSes to make system calls. Xen also works on hardware with no ISA support for VMs. (It also supports ISA VM support.) There is a xen micro-kernel that does nothing but run VMs. Even IO is done by a privileged VM. The kernel in the VMs must have Xen device drivers - which today are merged with virtio device drivers (so the same drivers work for both Xen and KVM). npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Only a fool would let his enemy teach his children. - Malcolm X npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I suspect it was on purpose, to help hide whatever skullduggery they have afoot. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed In many sci-fi stories, the moon is already a computer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonfall_(film) npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Are we talking chocolate? Or chocolate flavored candy? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed XMPP is lightweight enough to run on the tiniest device. But supports messages and voice/video calls. It is annoying with multiple devices on the same XMPP address - logs are split/duplicated between devices, and it is unclear which device will notify you of a new message or call. I was on twitter through XMPP until they cut off anyone without a twitter account. Facebook was the same thing. They talked a protocol driven game ("like email"), then cut me off. Matrix is really good at the message store on server - but we're talking 2G+ ram VM for the server and 40g+ disk. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I'm guessing in response to the guy that was shot in the back. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Back when SMTP spam was a big problem (big enough to result in legislation), there were many with a "solution", which we labelled FUSSP - Final and Ultimate Solution to the Spam Problem. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I don't know about wombats, but most birds and mammals will abandon young with the scent of humans on them. Fish don't really care for their young like birds and mammals. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed No settings that I am aware of. No problem uploading images to other web apps. I'll upload some more songs. I was hoping you could help with percussion on any that catch your fancy. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Better translation (not that I speak Russian), especially given Trump's rhetoric: USA: "You are not my brother, you are my state!" npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed The new policies remind me of Microsoft and Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Did that. But still no photos. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Is there way to link sheet music for songs on wavlake? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Hmm, does not display the album from the share link. I pressed "Publish", and the link is the same - but still won't open from the link. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I made an account on wavlake, it will not take my photo uploads - just shows a black rectangle after I press "Review". I added a song, and again it does not accept a jpg. It did, however, accept an MP3 for the song: https://wavlake.com/studio/albums/45d50e1b-5ac3-4245-a393-d185e0ee070e I left it in "Draft" status for now. The song sounds great on e-pianos with a robo-drummer (don't have one myself), as rock style is pretty standard. I use Ardour to record takes. What do you need to add a drum track - or any other additions? I have sheet music, piano audio track, I can make a midi recording. I've downloaded libre midi drum sequences, and tried to use them for a recording, but I clearly don't know what I'm doing. Have to repeat them over the whole song - but there are transitions. This is a simple short song with only 2 musical themes. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Can you translate for us? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Many of the restaurants returning to beef tallow are adding BHT to the tallow so they don't have to change it every day. I thought we were done with whole BHA/BHT era. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed What the good doctor neglects, is that the patient isn't lying. She truly can't stop it. And there are thousands of Unshackled! episodes of people from all walks of life in the same boat. They can't stop drinking, drugs, gambling, etc. Until their mind, and heart, and life are Unshackled! We can't stop sinning. We have to submit ourselves to God. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed It has the basic functionality of iftop (a curses app), but with gui instead of tui (I don't think iftop has the country lookup, but I could add it if I wanted). Running a gui on a remote server is problematic, so iftop fits the bill for me. But I could see running this on my laptop. gkrellm (gui) gives the basic up/down over time with very small footprint, but doesn't have all the features. It also has a plugin api, however. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Fertilizer is not really a positive, as it does not replace carbon (and also destroys micro-nutrients in the soil) - eventually destroying the soil. Grazing animals restore carbon to the soil. The only attraction of petroleum fertilizer is that at least initially it was cheaper than bird guano, grazing animals, etc. Plastics are a positive IF properly disposed of in a system that ultimately incinerates them in a trash to power plant or equivalent. Land-filling plastics creates large scale micro-plastic contamination of the environment. Concrete and steel - oorah! npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. Acts 18:26 npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed But the deed is cryptographically signed. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Long bow. With 3 years of daily training (as it is a brain integration weapon). Silent. 3 rounds per seconds. 12 round magazine. Less total energy than a ballistic round, but penetrates a bullet proof vest. Environmentally friendly. (No lead and cadmium vapor. No lead bullets embedded in the soil.) npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed That's a totally different statement than "God is a myth". A myth is "a story that informs the ethics and morals of a people". Myths can be historically generally regarded as historical, like George Washington Crossing the Deleware. Or generally regarded as not historical, like George Washington Chopping Down the Cherry Tree. Both are myths of national origin. So God is most definitely a myth. A myth that became fact most historically evident in the Resurrection of Christ. Start there - prove that the eye witness testimonies of the resurrection are or are not historical. Then you can argue about what that event or non-event means. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed That's the way it should be done. Static HTML. Generate HTML on the server if needed, minimal javascript if needed (I use "Field Exit" to signal server when user tabs out of field). Did it since the 90s. Decent corporate sites do it that way (AT&T, although I have checked recently). Google had a system where Java classes were "compiled" to javascript and downloaded to browser on demand, with software optimizing bandwidth and user memory tradeoffs. I believe Google Maps still uses this. I notice a number of the Nostr offerings download JS code, which then generates the HTML. I don't like this, but I haven't contributed anything better. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed So no government marriage. But what about actual marriage: sacred vows exchanged before your community? As Chesterton so aptly put it, divorce (and government marriage) is a superstition. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I'm guessing nail polish. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed he.net did a VERY good onboarding for IPv6: https://ipv6.he.net/certification/ A Nostr onboarding could learn a lot from their approach. It is disguised as a "certification". They do provide a "certificate" at the end (customized image), but the point is that the "test" is the lesson. E.g. first test is "prove you have IPv6 connectivity". For Nostr, it would be "prove you have Nostr connectivity" - by posting a note with a token. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed There are a number of EDI formats besides ANSI. EDIFACT (EU version), CATAIR (USCS 80 column punched card version), etc. The only format I loath is XML. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed https://gathman.org/music/hope.pdf npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Drink water from your own cistern, and running water from your own well. Why should your springs flow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares? Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers. Proverbs 5:15-17 npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed No chance. Anything other than one man and one woman is diseased. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed But hospitals do provide you with free treatment, and charge patients with money an additional percentage to fund that. I know some want govt to pay for treatment - but you are still paying for it through taxes, plus half goes to fat bureaucrats who only come into the office once a month. Worse, you lose the incentive for the hospital to provide excellent treatment. The rich will stop using them if the treatment is shoddy - but they don't care if govt is paying for shoddy treatment. In real life, I've seen too much shoddy "free" dental work (paid for by govt). Like pulling the wrong tooth. Oh well, you'll have to come in again. So I can get paid again by the govt. When your teeth are all gone, the govt will pay for your dentures. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Forgot to mention: SIP. Can use with a cryptomesh like Cjdns to fully decentralize with encryption on any device. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed For Twitter (or any centralized platform) over Nostr, another problem is the plethora of perfectly good federated/decentralized existing protocols. From SMTP (with a decent client like Deltachat) to Matrix to AP (not encrypted) to XMPP (no common message store) SSB to Retroshare to Nostr to ... the problem is guessing which will end up with the most market share. I currently use (and self host) XMPP, Matrix,SSB,Retroshare,SMTP (with alpine client) and use (with 3rd party hosting) Nostr, AP (qoto.org and llamarific.social). But they are all fragmented as to contacts. People glaze over when I try to explain why SMS is only for emergencies in a weak signal area. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed What is useful is a replace/delete where clients show the update for a post, but a click shows you the history. I think Matrix did this right. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Centralized platforms have no delete either - regardless of the their docs say. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Are you using blender? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I guess your router is toast? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed It is still our backbone. A number of older protocols are fully decentralized and secure in conjunction with Cjdns. https://fedoramagazine.org/decentralize-common-fedora-apps-cjdns/ npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Centralized vs decentralized capitalism. As G. K. Chesterton put it, "The problem with capitalism is that there are too few capitalists." Capital is naturally centralized with new tech, like steam looms, computers, or space flight. But as tech matures, I can buy an automatic loom for my workshop for a few hundred $$, I have a powerful computer on my lap and another in my pocket, and in a few decades if civilization doesn't collapse again families will be able to buy a used spaceship and go on a tour of the solar system. Capitalism stays unnaturally centralized when globalists convince people that it is too inconvenient to own anything (and thus be responisble for it). npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Sometimes, small vendors make the price of an item such that it comes out to an even dollar amount with tax. That is nice. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I paid off our small house - and a piece of government paper says we own it. But we still have to pay $600/mo rent to the govt and rising. Housing costs increase every year due to rent increases and increasing cost of maintenance. At least with a landlord you have a chance of seeing their face. There is something creepy about our faceless govt landlord. Worse, half of the govt rent goes to genital mutilation of children (and the usual share for murdering babies). npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed "Zu vill own nutzing, und be happy." Sorry. You can make fun of Bill Gates. Klaus at least looks like a classy super villain. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed American culture prior to the current rampant socialism was to provide jobs. You see it countless stories from 19th and first half of 20th century. Cousin Bob has lost his job. No problem, uncle Tim has a warehouse that needs some hands. Corporate types frown on this as "nepotism" - but when it is your *own* business at risk (not a publicly traded company) and you actually know the weaknesses of cousin Bob, it is a beautiful thing, just like East African culture. A famous example is the classic American movie "It's a Wonderful Life". npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Knowing some families from East Africa, this is a cultural barrier to capital intensive projects. If you save up money to, e.g., build a house, then if anyone has an "emergency", it is socially expected of you to give them that money. (And they would do the same for you.) It is a beautiful thing in one sense - people caring for each other. But it also means you never get your house built. The work around is to immediately use any available capital to partially build said house. Initially, you might buy the land. Do some low investment farming until you have enough available to dig a foundation. Now you have a dangerous hole in ground for months or years - but what can you do? Now we can pour cement. A little less dangerous, and more useful until the next phase. And so on, and so on. Eventually that house does get built - but this is why you see so many half finished building projects there. It's not because they "got bored and lost interest" like recent crops of Americans. It's because of how saved capital is prioritized. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed In this case it wasn't clear. She was born with female parts, "clearly" a girl at birth, raised as a girl, and only DNA testing revealed that he was genetically a guy with developmental issues. Unlike the transgender people, this guy/gal was not trying to deceive anyone (afaik - who knows). It was probably shocking to discover as an adult that he is not a girl after all. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed That doesn't solve the problem at the Olympics. The Algerian boxer was born with female parts and raised as a woman. But he/she has XY chromosomes. (Probably those estrogenic chemicals in the environment Alex Jones goes on about.) So if you define "woman" as XX chromosomes, then the parents in Algeria legit did not "know what a woman is". If you define "woman" as "female parts", then he/she is a woman. By low tech standards, she is a woman. It requires some high tech DNS analysis to see that he is genetically a male - but is dealing with developmental problems. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed He was born with female parts, but has XY chromosomes. It's more like he has estrogen issues - especially in the womb. It's not just the frogs with all these estrogenic chemicals. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Looks too acute.

The technologies called "AI" are modelled after the human subconscious - adding up weights via pattern matching from a huge database. There is nothing "intelligent" ("choosing between") about it. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed My dad would say, "What in Sam hill?" npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Male and femaie *are* body types. If you find a fossilized pelvic bone, 90° is a male, and 120° is a female - regardless of size or long composted muscles. There are a million more fundamental differences. So yes, wrassling is separated by weight class, but also by male/female. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed https://image.nostr.build/05f68030e4f7d148426295c0c9654b5bec2e9e566657451e9c4488630c93f427.jpg npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed - those who struggle with freedom of expressions in their countries and - those who struggle with freedom of expression on centralised systems. There are no provisions for anonymity in Nostr, are there? The deterrent freedom of expression in countries like the US is the police knock down your door and drag you off to prison or gulag. I suppose if you use Tor to hide your IP, Nostr is ok for that. (Use pen name.) Nostr can help those canceled on centralized systems by showing them that centralized social media is stupid. There have been many decentralized/federated social systems since before DNS (why would anyone use farcebook, etc?) But Nostr may be the first to provide a way to monetize content (the legit reason to use youtube/rumble). npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed We were all hoping AI would do the dishes, laundry, vacuuming, and mow the lawn - so we would have more time for art, music, coding, crafts. Instead, we get second rate "art" from the AI and rather lame "roomba" machines for vacuuming and mowing. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed This bread, non-organic, is for sale in our grocery in Eastern US. My question: can I be confident it is not grown with glyphosate (Roundup™)? I wonder if the loaves are imported, or baked in the US under direction of the company. The unopened loaves do have a long shelf life sufficient for shipping by sea. https://www.mestemacher.de/ npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Woe to him who amasses what is not his and makes himself rich with many loans!

Google requires you to register DNS cookies for your email domain if your IP4 is not a class C or better (or you are IPv6). That is evil, yes. Dealing with spam is NOT so easy. One low tech way is to give out a unique email address to each correspondent (just edit the aliases file, or use a simple gui that automates most of this). I wrote the pymilter package to make custom mail filters for sendmail and postfix coded in Python. I use a bayesian filter. At this point, 90% of spam comes from gmail.com. I am about to make that domain "whitelist only". But in case it is a legit would be correspondent, what method could I offer in the rejection message (not that anyone ever reads the rejection message) for requesting contact? Maybe tell them to use XMPP or IRC? That is beyond most "normies" as well. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Is this with or without intentional mortality (e.g. abortion)? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed "massively reduce spending" - and right there is your problem. A substantial percentage of that spending goes to השרים ("the officials"/administrative state/deep state) . Similar problem to endless unconstitutional wars. All that money funding both sides to kill each other siphons back to support American families in the Shadow of Mordor and Defense Industry areas. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed https://image.nostr.build/c0a85e5d9eecc3065f6229bf3f3b6c73a00fbc1ef1ada13dab8379eab1156024.jpg npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed As a lightning channel, you *could* transfer an amount equal to the small change you have on hand to another channel - perhaps overpaying the imbalance.

That's why we have layer 2 protocols. Gold had a similar problem in ancient times. Small amounts would get lost/stolen. Hence the eventual development of layer 2 protocols consisting of pieces of paper representing gold deposits.

It's been decades since I sent patches via email. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed I added proposed rules as an HTML comment. I'm figuring out how to send the patch. Might have to be email. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed We could mandate html "code" style for identifiers.

Current style is inconsistent. npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed Hmmm. What about sentences ending in an identifier?

Or something generated? npub1thxca0y6klep9jg8k5gqw6dndwdw4l0caz0j88vhetwhnadp00wqtpjfj3 Custom Designed The style is inconsistent. Some sentences begin with upper case. Some paragraphs end with a period. Dropping the traditional "capitalize first letter of every sentence" style is handy for tech documents which often begin sentences with identifiers which are confusing when capitalized (e.g. "git"). * I propose to keep starting sentences with lower case, but end all sentences with punctuation. (Even some paragraphs currently end with period.) * Titles (headers) are capitalized. * Some FAQ questions are capitalized, some not. I think they should be capitalized in traditional style. Rewording can avoid starting with an identifier (like "git"). The answers follow the (no initial capital) paragraph/sentence style above.
