Dad is openly gay, reading to kids in drag. He took after his dad and molested his kids, mom's drugs have given her the courage to start an only fans with her mom and daughter, and both of them are encouraging their autistic son (rather than polio) to take estrogen. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere He's got 10 fingers npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere https://video.nostr.build/b8319e6243820dfbd0faa3f91660c0efd96a35fc037ec627f0325e0f52332d51.mp4 npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Soy protein is not equal to animal protein.

Cases protect but a lot of people I know say things like "a case is so bulky". If the phone lands on a corner or something it can shatter the glass across the entire screen. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere If you keep your code in git it's pretty easy to clone it anywhere. Also generally advisable as a way to track your project history and avoid breaking things or ending up with different versions floating around. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere I've never used name cheap for hosting before but as long as you have a shell you can probably get node running and start hacking at your project. You can probably also do the development locally (I find this to be faster) without having to pay for hosting until you have a working program. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere She's looking a little light skinned for a leader in the liberal utopia npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere True although honestly I think maybe too much focus on trade and not enough on local sustainability is not the best way to run an economy. I think for example it would be Mich smarter and cost effective to use the coal that's here instead of destroying farm land to make solar farms. The cost of building these farms is enormous, and while I think it's privately owned the state gives businesses tax breaks to setup shop. It wouldn't make economic sense to do this otherwise. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere By libraries do you mean node modules or system libraries? You can install individual node modules using npm from the working directory of your project. Npm init will create a package.json file and you can use the --save option to write the dependency to your package file when installing new modules. You can't pull dependencies from within a REPL if that's what you were asking npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere We have farms, but not as many of the big industrial scale farms. To me that's a good thing. If you drive out about 3 hours from here the mountain farms look really cool. I've seen cattle on some pretty steep hills. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Maybe maybe not npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere I can't believe they didn't even have a McDonald's npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere I mean...

What about btc? npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Reminder: In 2022 all cryptocurrencies took a hit in value, but XMR outperformed BTC by nearly 100%. This means that if you held an equal amount of bitcoin and xmr at the beginning of 2022, your xmr doubled in value while your bitcoin stayed still (if we ignore the almighty dollar). I don't chase lines myself, but if you were a line chaser, xmr's lines are projecting a stronger future npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere I think there is (I've seen a few deleted events), but it probably depends on the clients and servers to implement the feature. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere https://invidious.projectsegfau.lt/watch?v=1JPxqKjYG9Q&feature=youtu.be npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere https://yewtu.be/watch?v=MNf97XgBdTc npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Yeah ordinals seem like a bad idea npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere I'm just making jokes npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Bitcoin sticker on a trashcan might send a message you didn't intend to send 🤣 npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Bitcoin art is just gonna result in longer transaction times and a bloated chain. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Basically, I won't vote **against** anyone because that results in accepting/endorsing douchebaggery npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere I vote if there is a candidate I like, not when just picking between shit and piss npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere It's all bitcoin npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere It would be more likely if the image wasn't only one of criminality. There are valid reasons to prefer privacy, and it should be opt out rather than opt in. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere "Decentralized" npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere The secret life of bees npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Many such cases. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere agree with you in principle. I just think in reality we have to acknowledge that chain analysis exists and is used to freeze accounts. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere "traceability" is built into bitcoin. It requires effort with physical assets. With current technology that effort requirement is too great for it to be useful with monero. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere I think maybe the breakdown is between what happens in reality vs what the code says. In the code yes a sat is a sat, and generally this is how most people look at it. However in reality chain analysis makes it a lot easier to follow sats than physical dollars in spite of the literal serial number printed on them which if used would make the dollar not fungible. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Hardly. I never said I won't do things the gubment doesn't like, I just think why paint a target on your back for when they decide something you are doing is no longer acceptable. With XMR, even if they ban it they will have a hell of a time tracking everyone down using it. There is a bill going through our government right now to try and define everyone who maintains custody of their own keys as a financial institution who would be held to KYC laws and the like. Does that mean if they push it through and it becomes law, I am going to suddenly start asking for drivers licenses from people I transact with? Not likely, but why even make it possible for someone to know I transacted in the first place? npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Where is the bart meme with the broken window. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere It's also not one company. It's every normie inclusive onramp to cryptocurrency, governments, and any other interested 3rd party that can analyze the chain. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere I think the difference is the likelihood that it can realistically be traced and the fact that chain analysis is largely automatic. Even if they made a law that said all bills must be tracked there would be businesses and individuals that failed to comply and that would create gaps. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere The difference is that serials aren't generally tracked in each transaction which allows gaps to exist. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere I can accept that serialized bills aren't really fungible but in practice the tracking isn't done. If a drug dealer buys a pack of cigarettes at the corner store with a 20 they got from a junky there is no proving it. The laws are constructed such that when you get caught with both drugs and money they assume the money is drug money unless you can prove otherwise. If it were the case that drug money wasn't fungible then they'd track down the previous owners of any confiscated currency. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Lol I'm using a concept know as analogy npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere That's relatively new and not because they are being spent more frequently day to day than a lower denomination. They sit in foreign banks mostly. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Less than monero, but most peopledon't track serials. Another reason criminals in movies often want smaller bills. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere The fungibility of cash relies on the expectation that serial numbers largely aren't logged when money transfers ownership. Each bitcoin basically has a serial number and a transaction history attached to it. There are no unmarked bills. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere That's why criminals in movies always ask for non sequential unmarked bills npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Yes but will use of mixers and such ultimately taint the whole batch? Wasn't tornado cash in the news not that long ago? npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Even if you had serial numbers on it you could just melt it down npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere The protocol is approachable and getting pretty popular so I think it could inspire a bit of innovation. I'm only just getting into it and it seems like there are a lot of applications using it already. One problem I have found as a new user is there is a bit of disparity between client features which can throw you off a bit. Gossip allows you to create arbitrary metadata properties but some others I've used have had some of the common ones named different things on the ui. They also ignore the fields they dont know what to do with. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Lightning can be deanonymized npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere some clients support an upload, but they upload to a 3rd party and then provide a link. In theory you could base64 encode images and upload them to nostr, but you'd need a client that knows to read them and parse them correctly. Something like that could get hard to keep secure, but it would be cool. I think you could create a channel and have people subscribe / follow the channel (supported by certain clients). npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere The problem is that most people on ramp to crypto at centralized exchanges where this filtering exists. It's fine that you take the right steps to avoid being screwed from the traceable nature of the chain, but it is traceable and that can result in lost funds for people who aren't even aware that this risk exists. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere If I give you gold and don't tell anyone is there any reason it can't be exchanged elsewhere for equal value? Even if i were a known criminal no one could know where you got your gold unless you told them. The fungibility problem on btc is because you can track SATs across the network and decisions can be made to reject coins coming from a particular wallet thus making those coins of not equal to other coins npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere I dig it. Getting started these days is a lot easier than it used to be. What kind of stuff would you want to do if you were to learn a language? One language with a low bar as far as learning goes is javascript, and these days it can be used both as a server and client. It's also included in all major web browsers which makes it easier to distribute your code. It's not the most efficient language or anything, but it is pretty powerful, and it can be a good stepping stone to other languages. You don't need to compile anything to run a basic javascript program. You don't even need to download anything. you can just open the developer console on your browser of choice (ctrl-shift-I or cmd-opt-I on mac) and start hacking javascript right there. npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Or threaten to use gold for international trade npub17xgfxzgvretlzvhgl6rc65xtx6xcapy4gzyaaq5jl8z50a5y8tjs9dd2gj thatguyoverthere Received 🤙. Amethyst is the only one I have used on mobile. On my desktop I'm using gossip which doesn't support zaps at all, but I think it's smart with relay selection. I don't know, I'm pretty new to nostr. I have been using the fediverse for a few years now, but nostr has got my attention because one problem in the fediverse is that your experience (and therefore opinion) of the network largely depends on how good or bad the admins for whatever server you choose to use are. There is a schizm around a single often shared blocklist (fediblock) which creates different experiences for people. I think the ability to publish to multiple relays and be more or less nomadic on the nostr protocol would make those kinds of things quite difficult. Indivudals can mute people or avoid relays relaying stuff they don't like, but no one is going to decide for you who you can and can't associate with, and if a relay goes away your account and profile don't go away with it. It also seems like a simpler protocol to program for which is appealing to me. One thing I am hoping to accomplish is to build a server that can behave as both a nostr relay and an activity pub actor. I think bridging these protocols and making it possible for someone who signs up for activity pub to continue conversations on nostr would be quite interesting. There is a bounty out from fiatjaf for a golang attempt at this, but go not being a language I've really spent a lot of time on makes that a bit difficult. I am running a rust relay (I also don't program in rust currently) which I was able to easily read and understand, and I think I might be looking to use that as a base. First I might try my hand at extending the supported protocols by the server. It seems like right now it only partially supports NIP-05 and I think that one is a pretty good one to support as it makes finding people on relays where they actually post a bit easier. It should be fairly simple (it's just a name response on a single endpoint), and a good way to get my hands a little rusty.
