My timing when it comes to buying bitcoin really sucks. "Well that's as low as I've seen it for ages, let's buy :) "
A few moments later...

"Oh... It went lower, a lot lower, OK stop now, oops" lol

I have given in and decided that I need to learn to use AI tools better.
I've been resisting, but too many job adverts and promotion opportunities for what I do are requesting knowledge of AI to "improve existing processes and create new opportunities to expand and grow our business" blah blah.
It's at the point that every meeting I attend has someone show off some report or thing they made with AI and everyone goes "ohhh that's amazing" and I'm sitting there with my spreadsheets and apex stuff being made to feel like a dinosaur 😄
Sure they might get let go once they replace their own job, but I'm getting let go because I'm not replacing my own job, so i might as well get paid for doing it myself 👍
I decided Claude is the way to go, though I really want to like Grok but it feels a bit less gaared to business stuff.
What do you all think?

2026-02-14 01:29:45 CET

So my most recent posts just, disappeared, vanished, never to be seen again.
I can see notifications that people replied to these posts but I can't get the actual posts to show at all.
How strange ☹️

2026-02-13 08:07:23 CET

Let's talk about nostr.
This has so much potential, but for some reason its feeling quite lonely and flat here.
I have removed all my photography posts, I tried pretty hard but there isn't an audience here for photography, that's understandable I suppose, but I did hope we could carve out more of an art and photo scene on nostr, beyond AI anime pictures 😄
My thoughts are that when bitcoin crashed in value, a lot of the activity here fell off too. I did at least used to get some traction on my posts a few months ago, but recent ones have very much felt like staring into an empty void 😶
I'm still going to hang around. There are lots of really interesting posts made by other people, but I have to accept the idea that this is more an alternative niche tech and geeky crypto hangout than a possible competitor to X or Instagram, and that's ok, everything has its place.
The bad news is that globally I fear a tightening on freedom. X is likely getting banned in several countries, YouTube keeps getting worse, privacy is being eroded. Things like nostr offer an alternative, but I don't know how we get that message out.
🙂

*back to PC, no like....
Whats going on Nostr fams?

2025-08-08 07:07:20 CEST

I am moving house next year :)
At my new place I have room for a decent size vegetable plot and....... Chickens :)
I'm not confirmed on the chickens, need to check if I'm 100% allowed but I think its OK.
The local village has lots of people selling home made stuff and fresh milk, bread etc, and even honey, in fact there's a beekeeper (who also has chickens) just a few hundred yards away.
As someone who has lived all my life in city flats and council estates, this will be like heaven :) really hope it works out.

We need a censorship resistant version of archive.org.
Somewhere we can store history and records and reality.
I see a lot about things being removed from archive.org and that's not good.
Other current alternatives are equally at risk.
I have my own collection of computer magazine scans from the 80" s and 90''s as well as store catalogs and pin up art and 50s SciFi. I also have random video documentaries about various life things.
Is there an easy way to do this? Can we have large decentralized archives?

2025-08-06 14:04:44 CEST

Tax is unfair.
Recently at work they told me I was getting my annual bonus. It isnt much, but I thought I would maybe take a weekend holiday somewhere nice with it.
2 weeks later when I seen my pay slip, about 40% had been stolen by tax, overall about a third of my wage had been swallowed up by tax.
And that's just before you get your money, afterwards there's more taxes, your house, purchases, savings, everything. It's a disaster.
And where does my money go? It gets wasted on things I do not approve of it being spent on. Its just thrown away to anyone and everyone, squandered.
Where it doesn't go, is benefitting me and my family and future family, my local area.
Its so annoying, if I felt that all those taxes were being spent responsibility, it wouldn't be so bad, but when you see how its eaten up by corruption and wasted on nonsense, it feels bad.
We need a better financial system.

I can honestly say, bitcoin is the most profitable thing I ever bought.
The money I invested more than doubled over the 4 or 5 years I had it.
Sure, the fees when I sold it and converted to fiat so I could bank it were painful lol, but it was still a huge win.
I wish I could go back in time and buy more.
Today I'm starting again though, so wish me luck lol, I'm back on the bitcoin wagon :)

"Wow you grew up in the 80's, that must have been so cool".
No, no.. It was shit.
We were poor, and everything was expensive.
Every day was another day a nuclear war might happen.
Chernobyl.
There were 3 TV channels and they all sucked.
You had to be pretty tough to survive.
On the upside, the music was good, video games and computers became a thing. You tended to have lots of friends you actually went and played with and spoke to all the time. You could do stupid things without half the world finding out about it. Best of all, most of us were blissfully unaware of just how messed up the world would become :)

My list of places where I refuse to shop because they don't take cash grows longer by the day.
Restaurants are especially bad, loads of them have banned cash.
It would be great if they took bitcoin but of course they don't :)
Most people just don't get it, they don't understand why losing the ability to use cash is a bad thing, they just want "convenience".
But I always have a laugh when these cashless shops go into full on panic mode when their payment processor/WiFi/card readers go down and they have to turn every one away, small victories :)

When I go visit my family I like to take my instax and take and print photos for them.
Its important.
I've still got photo albums, that have pictures going back 2 or 3 generations of my family.
Most kids or under 30s today won't have that. They're entire life is on a phone, probably stored in a cloud that could be deleted or lost at a moment's notice.
Seeing someone smile when you hand them a photo to keep is a blessing.
The joy of going through an old photo album, taking out the pictures and laughing about them with your friends and family is a treasure that's going to be lost for future generations, its just not the same scrolling through a gallery on your phone.
So print your photos, give them to people, hang them up, save them. Its a relatively safe way to permanently record that you existed. When you lose your phone or memory cards get corrupted or cloud services ban you, those printed photos will be precious, especially to hand down to your children.

Over the last 2 years I've bought over 1300 DVDs (and blue rays) and over 600 CD's.
I've also got loads of retro games (from atari 2600 up to ps4) on cartridge and CD.
I want to own my own medi., I've seen too many examples of things being edited, censored or banned, and I want to have the original.
Plus, I don't have to deal with adverts, reduced quality, lack of internet or monthly charges. Most of the films and music I got came from charity shops for virtually free (some shops do 5 or 10 dvds for the equivalent of $1.
Most people think I'm insane :) but they can go do face scans to listen to their favorite metal album on Spotify, I'll carry on doing my thing :)
