Last Notes npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Had created a new nsec to post this, but thought I'd post on my old account also... Learned of a tragedy this week--a very kind and well respected banjo maker Arthur Hatfield had a fire in his shop, which destroyed it. A friend of his set up a go fund me account, and I wanted to share that URL here for anyone wishing to help: https://gofund.me/365470b2 You can read more on banjohangout.org: https://www.banjohangout.org/topic/401345 Always breaks my heart to see things like this...especially for an artisan such as Arthur that brought joy to so many from his banjos. Thanks all for reading, Prayers I'm sure are also appreciated even in lieu of a donation. #coffechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy last day of 2024! It's time for me to retire this nsec (mainly for privacy reasons) and take a step back from social media (mainly to try and live a quiet life as Fr. Mike would say). Thank you to all the friends I've made here on Nostr--it's a great community and a great group of folks. Perhaps at some point, I'll create a new nsec and return--but if so, I'll be more of a "reader" than a "poster". But for now, I'll simply close out this year wishing eveyone the best for the future. Devs--keep it going--you've got something truly special here in Nostr--don't ever let anyone convince you otherwise! 😃 God bless you all! Now--it's time for a coffee! (And of course a special thanks to all of you on the #coffeechain) npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo How to securely and privately timestamp any file using email and SHA256... a) Hash a SHA256 on your file (if you have multiple files, zip them first and then hash the zip file). Windows: certutil -hashfile "file_name" SHA256 Linux: shasum -a 256 <file_name> b) Save the result in a text file (.txt) - identify it with the original file name so you know which file generated the hash. c) Copy the SHA result and paste it in the body of an email (you don't need to include the text file). d) Email the message to yourself. e) Save the .txt file with the SHA with the original file for your records. f) Save the email (don't delete it) so you can check the timestamp if needed in the future. Explanation: a) The SHA proves that the file exists (i.e. there's no way to generate the SHA "after the fact"). b) Sending the SHA via email provides a valid timestamp. c) No private information is sent over email (a SHA hash is worthless series of numbers and letters). d) No third party is needed (while there are some good online services and/or paid services that provide timestamps, you don't have to trust any of these services with your data, and you don't have to worry that a third party provider may not still be around in the future). e) You can run a new SHA on the file at any time in the future to prove the file has been unchanged since the time the original SHA was generated. Definitely took me some extra coffee to figure this out 😃 #coffeechain #asknostrd npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Or download an app... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Wait...what?? 🤣 🤣 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Bluegrass (of course)... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Men are from Mars.... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo We are all @npub1q6y…t3sh npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Hmmm...feels like a case of 'roid rage... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo 😃 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Monday! Fr. Mike's homily yesterday centered around social media and people seeking fame...definitely food for thought...and well worth a listen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D36CWWWZ7nI #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Traders gonna trade...it's in their DNA... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo It should have become obvious that there was a problem when the copper in a penny became worth more than the penny itself... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Sunday! Taxes are theft. Just had to say that... (Grrrrrr...) I need a coffee... #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Agree - and then when inflation hit, the price of used cars skyrocketed (as there were so few available). Now just a parts car is $1,000... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Everyone needs to think for themselves...and put in the work to do their own research. The data was available in January 2020 -- all the proof was available -- but most people just listened to the news, heard what they wanted to hear ("hey, there's a pill for that") and went on with their lives... Lesson learned. npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Saturday! (I think...that time space thing from yesterday still has me flummoxed) Those of you looking for a good New Year's resolution I have a suggestion: How 'bout running your own BTC node? It helps everyone, you're contributing something to the protocol, and it truly makes a difference. And it's easier than joining a gym... 😃 #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Well, there's always another sale, and another Pixel...but having said that, nothing is more imporatant than your privacy and your security... I consider it an investment...same reason I use OPNSense and Linux -- additional layers of security, and I feel for all of those, it's money well-spent. npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GREAT quotes--thanks for sharing! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo I find 3D printing incredibly useful (actually one of the best inventions ever). However, if you're just going to print tchotchkes from thingiverse or makerworld then you'll quickly tire of having a 3D printer... So really depends on what you're going to do with it. npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Nothing wrong with self sovereignty for your data. Cloud services mean you don't own your data (e.g., iTunes) -- unless you're running your own cloud (e.g,, NextCloud) it's not your data. npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM @npub1q6y…t3sh - good to see you...(even if we can't see the video) 😃 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo LOL... 😃 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Indeed, and you can get zapped for it as well!! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Maybe, but I also think it's a commentary on modern society--all too many are "comfortable" letting "someone else do it".... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Another great cartoon! Thanks! Have a great day Maria! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Took me a while to figure this one out...guess that's a good thing! 😃 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo I can't tell you--the whole time travel paradox thing you know... 😃 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Perhaps---but IMHO if you can afford a cold wallet, you can afford to run a node...and you should. No excuses other than "letting soemone else do it"....Umbrel makes it just clicking a few buttons (same with setting up a Raspberry Pi) If you can install an app on your phone, you can run an Umbrel node. Makes no sense to me to trumpet "self sovereignty" and not run a node. All hat and no cattle... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Drat...I certainly need another cup of coffee...totally screwed up the space time continuum today... #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo You can do this with #grapheneOS... (Just kidding...) npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Monday! Saw a post yesterday that showed that there are only 2,000 or so BTC nodes operating in the US. And out of curiosity, I looked up on meshmap and saw there are about 1,500 #meshtastic nodes...(of course with far fewer users) What this says to me is that we need to have more people running BTC nodes! Seriously, it's neither hard, nor expensive. Grab a Raspberry Pi5, a 1TB SSD (min) and Umbrel and you're up and running...for about $125 or so. Oh--and you'll need a cup of coffee while you plug it in! That's it! #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo @npub1cn4…3vle is a boss npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo No way--always such great Christmas energy around here! 😃 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo nSTDs --- hilarious! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Saturday! Hoping today is as nice as yesterday - have some work outside to do, so would welcome another warm, sunny day! And will certainly start it off with a coffee and some zaps. #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Well, come to think about it, ranch might be able to drown out the taste of pineapple... 🤣 🤣 🤣 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Hmmm...can't really argue with that logic at all... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Surely you jest...you probably put ranch on your wings too... 😃 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Yes, pineapple pizza is definitely a scam... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Have you ever met a poor politician? Anywhere? npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Hmmm...I have zero trust and faith in the central government... And I'd argue that any amount of trust and faith above that is completely misplaced. npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Ok, that's different...have to pull back a bit from the screen, but neat effect! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy NMonday! Another week, another coffee, another zap (or two...or threee...) (I think three should be spelled with the extra "e"...kind of like onomatopoeia with letters...) #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo You ARE wrong. Censorship is WRONG. That is why Nostr was created. STOP IT npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo There really aren't 21M BTC - so many have been "lost"... I've seen estimates that say only 14-15M are truly remaining... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo I'm assuming guns are illegal there? Is there any way to fight back against the corrupt police? npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Sunday! Looks like a beautiful day outside... (Seems like Sundays always have nicer weather than the rest of the week!) Great morning -- sunshine and coffee! #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo So (forgive my ignorance) is this issue charging sats while running an LSP? Or is it something else? (i.e. could you run altruistically without charging any fees and be adhering to the law?)
