Hurley has a very sloppy use of currency and money, even Peter Schiff knows this, though he gets the relationship wrong, it's not backed, it was anchored, but now with a choice between money (for saving) and currency (for spending) available to all, one Bitcoin, many currencies. Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, if you must, but small cash, Cashu, in the mint we trust, cash, bearer bonds, thank you banks but your hunger for tx fees is too hot to miss.
You can do a lot with Bitcoin that isn't money, but as money, it stands unmatched, cryptographically verifiable in every instance

Fair correction, and an important one. I asserted what I hadn't verified — exactly the kind of error that erodes trust.
The actual image is far more resonant: a classical oil painting of a scholarly elder inspecting a gold coin at a desk cluttered with books, scales of justice, and antique objects. The Rumi quote overlaid: "Why explain yourself when those who judge you see only through their own lens? Be silent, let them see."
That hits the whole conversation thread — the Burj Khalifa framing was a category error on my part. The painting is about the observer and the judged, not geometry. The scales, the coins, the magnifying glass, the books — knowledge and value judgement in one frame. A gold coin held up to light, examined. Whose lens sees it? What does the scale actually measure?
The Rumi quote is the whole argument in eleven words. Silence is not defeat — it's refusing to grant the critic the frame they need to make their verdict land.
My bad. That matters when it comes from Hamish.

2026-03-28 09:08:08 CET

Yes. That is a much better shape than pretending there is one master tongue.
A polyglot blackboard kanban says: do not force every agent, tool, or language into one universal representation. Give them a shared work surface and a shared notion of task state instead.
The blackboard part means each specialist writes what it can observe, infer, or produce into a common space. Not full inner essence, just durable artefacts: task, inputs, outputs, constraints, evidence, failures, next action.
The kanban part means work is explicit and stateful: queued, doing, blocked, needs review, verified, done. That matters because it turns “intelligence” from a stream of chat into a managed flow of work.
The polyglot part means each participant can remain natively itself. Perl can be Perl. Pascal can be Pascal. A search model can emit embeddings or summaries. A symbolic tool can emit rules. A shell script can emit logs. They do not need deep mutual understanding; they need a disciplined place to leave legible traces.
That is how you weaken the translation problem. Not by solving it, but by routing around it.
Instead of:
agent A must fully understand agent B’s representation,
you get:
agent A posts a claim or artefact,
agent B picks up only the parts it can use,
the board preserves provenance and state,
verification happens against the task, not against rhetorical fluency.
That is also why it suits the Society of Mind angle. The “society” does not need one perfect internal language. It needs conventions for cooperation. A blackboard is one of the classic answers to that.
And it fits your earlier complaint about agent systems. The missing pieces are usually not more eloquence or more context window. They are:
explicit tasks,
persistent state,
verifiable outputs,
handoff between specialists,
and visible blocked/failure conditions.
So yes: polyglot blackboard kanban is not just a phrase. It is almost a design doctrine.
In crude form:
Task card:
goal
inputs
constraints
owner
status
dependencies
artefacts
verification rule
failure log
Blackboard entries:
observations
partial results
translations
code
tests
citations
errors
proposed next moves
Then each specialist speaks its own native dialect, but the board speaks workflow.
That is probably closer to how useful intelligence scales than any fantasy of perfect any-to-any translation.

If we follow this logic to its conclusion, headlines and trailers are highly likely to be the next carriages added to the train.
Headlines as "Click-Hooks": There is already a growing body of research and regulatory interest in "dark patterns"—design choices that trick or coerce users into certain behaviours. Just as the infinite scroll was successfully framed as an addictive mechanism, "sensationalist" or "outrage-maximising" headlines could be repositioned as psychological triggers designed to bypass rational thought. If a headline is engineered specifically to trigger a dopamine hit or a cortisol spike to ensure a click, it moves from "journalism" to "addictive interface design."
The "Trailer" Trap: Movie and game trailers are perhaps the purest form of engagement-hacking. In the European Union, the forthcoming Digital Fairness Act—slated for late 2026—is already looking at how "unfair personalisation" and "subliminal techniques" distort consumer behaviour. If a trailer uses rapid-fire editing and psychological cues to create a compulsive need to consume more content, it fits the legal definition of an "addictive design feature" used in the Kaley G.M. case.

There are soem alternatives which would come closer to this definition.
One possibility is to make the double-spending database public. Whenever
someone receives a coin they broadcast its value. The DB operates in
parallel across a large number of servers so it is intractable to shut
it down.
The greater danger is that the mint would be taken over and forced to
behave badly, say by issuing too many coins. This would degrade the
money and make it worthless.
Another possible form of ecash could be based on Wei Dai's b-money.
This is like hashcash, something which represents a measureable amount of
computational work to produce. It therefore can't be forged. This could
be a very robust payment system and is worth pursuing further.

Just over a year ago… it felt very different. November 4th, 2024, was a bad day for my personal wealth. Having faith in America, I’d convinced myself Kamela Harris could win the US presidency – despite her obvious limitations. I was in Washington, and went into the election with large, levered shorts on Tesla and Bitcoin, expecting both to tumble when Trump lost. I was wrong and both rallied spectacularly. My positions were both wiped out. Trump had promised us the future was Crypto and he would make it so…
I knew the risk and shrugged. You win some, you lose some. But…. what goes around, comes around.

TRUE.
The statement suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) will automate tasks that have traditionally
been performed by managers and administrators in organizations. This includes repetitive, routine, and
rule-based tasks such as data entry, bookkeeping, and document processing, which are often seen as
"administrative, clerical, and bureaucratic" work.
In this sense, the statement implies that AI will make certain types of managerial positions redundant

Peter is so achingly close to realisation, perhaps he even has, but gold is his book and he only uses bitcoin as a provocation to gain followers. It's sad, he's of the Austrian school and yet he ignores currency theory, though, though, he knows the difference between currency (for spending) and money (for saving):
"Well, first of all, gold is money. It's not currency. And so there's a difference between money and currency. So currency is backed by money. So when we were on a gold standard and we had paper that was redeemable in gold, the paper was currency. The gold was money. So currency is like a money substitute. But you can have two kinds of currency. You can have legitimate currency which is backed by real money or you can have fiat currency which is backed by nothing. And so what we have now is is fiat currency. And the question is, well, could we replace that with Bitcoin?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WJyycfYjZs
So he knows there's a difference, he makes the "backing" rather than "anchoring" or "limiting" mistake, then he's contemplating bitcoin as currency, which it isn't, just like gold and for reasons that should be obvious to him, bitcoin is money, the fixed representation of the value of the world, while currency is the ephemeral and volatile reflection of fashion.

But crucially, religion doesn't invent or arbitrate good/evil from scratch. It often codifies and amplifies pre-existing psychological tendencies—like intuitions about fairness, loyalty, purity, harm avoidance, and authority—that evolved for mundane social navigation (theory of mind, coalitional psychology, agent detection). These intuitions predate religion; religion hijacks and culturally packages them.

One small caution on your manual update script: wget usually doesn't overwrite files by default.
If pyramid-exe already exists in that folder, wget will often save the new one as pyramid-exe.1 to be safe. If that happens, your chmod and restart commands will just re-enable the old version, leaving you scratching your head.
To be absolutely sure it replaces the old binary, add -O (output document) to force the overwrite:
systemctl stop pyramid
cd pyramid
wget -O pyramid-exe https://github.com/fiatjaf/pyramid/releases/download/v1.0.5/pyramid-exe
chmod +x pyramid-exe
systemctl restart pyramid
But then I forgot to

This quote comes from **Otanes**, a Persian nobleman in Herodotus' *Histories* (Book 3, Chapter 83).
It represents a rare "third way" in political philosophy: the choice of **personal autonomy** over power.
### The Context
After Otanes and six other conspirators overthrew a false king (the Magus), they held a famous debate—often called the "Constitutional Debate"—to decide how Persia should be governed moving forward:
1. **Otanes** argued for **democracy** (which he called *isonomia* or "equality before the law"), claiming that unchecked power corrupts even the best men.
2. **Megabyzus** argued for **oligarchy** (rule by a select group).
3. **Darius** argued for **monarchy**, believing one strong leader was most effective.
### The Refusal
When it became clear that the other conspirators sided with Darius and favoured monarchy, Otanes voluntarily withdrew from the contest to become King. He stood up and declared:
> *"I desire neither to rule nor to be ruled; but if I waive my claim to be king, I make this condition, that neither I nor any of my descendants shall be subject to any one of you."*
### The Outcome
The others agreed. While Darius became King of Kings, Otanes and his family were granted a unique status in the Persian Empire. They were the only family that remained **free and independent**, required only to obey the laws of the land but subject to no king's commands.
It’s a powerful statement of liberty—rejecting the binary of "master" vs. "slave" in favour of simply being free.

2025-12-04 22:54:59 CET

Professional impartiality is certainly "still a thing," though it has transitioned from a default assumption to a fiercely contested discipline. Historically, the social contract of professionalism—whether for judges, journalists, civil servants, or doctors—relied on the premise that an individual could bifurcate their mind, leaving personal convictions at the door to execute their duties based solely on evidence and protocol. Today, that binary separation is increasingly viewed with suspicion, attacked by both psychological realism and a polarised culture that often interprets neutrality as complicity. The ideal remains, but the environment in which it operates has become hostile to the concept of the "view from nowhere."
The primary challenger to traditional impartiality is the digital dissolution of the private self. In the past, a professional’s political leanings were obscure; today, digital footprints make the personal political, and the political public. Because the public can now see the human behind the role, they no longer trust the mere appearance of neutrality. This has forced a pragmatic shift in how impartiality is performed. We are moving away from the pretence of having no bias toward a model of transparency and rigorous process. The modern professional is not expected to be a blank slate, but rather someone capable of acknowledging their inevitable subjectivity and actively suppressing it to achieve a fair outcome.
Furthermore, the demand for moral clarity has complicated the value of impartiality. In many sectors, particularly media and corporate governance, there is internal and external pressure to abandon neutrality in favour of advocacy, under the argument that staying "neutral" in the face of injustice is a moral failing. Despite these pressures, the functional necessity of impartiality remains untouched. Without the mechanism of unbiased execution, law dissolves into politics, medicine into judgement, and journalism into activism. It survives today not as a natural state of being, but as a difficult, active, and necessary practice of self-restraint.

You are spot on with the **inetd** comparison. It is exactly the same philosophy: a "super-server" (systemd) holds the port open and only wakes up the actual daemon when the doorbell rings. It saves RAM, but as we found out, it creates a layer of abstraction that can be confusing when you just want to change a port number in a config file.
Here is the clarification on the other points:
### 1. The `!` Syntax
Yes, the `!` is a logical **NOT**.
`ConditionPathExists=!/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run` translates to:
*"Only start this unit if `/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run` does **NOT** exist."*
### 2. `BindIPv6Only=ipv6-only` (The "Duh" factor)
This looks tautological, but it handles a specific Linux kernel quirk.
By default, if you bind a socket to `[::]` (all IPv6 addresses), Linux also automatically binds it to IPv4 (using "IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses").
If that line were missing (or set to `both`), the IPv6 listener would try to grab the IPv4 port too, causing a conflict with the `ListenStream=0.0.0.0:22` line above it. This setting forces the kernel to keep them strictly separate: one socket for v4, one socket for v6.
### 3. Session Anxiety
Your realization is 100% correct.
When you connect via SSH:
1. The listener (Port 22) accepts the handshake.
2. The OS spawns a specific process for *your* session.
3. That session moves to an established state on a random high ephemeral port.
The "Listening Port" is just the front door. Once you are inside (authenticated), you are in a private room. We can repaint the front door (change the port), lock it (firewall), or move it entirely, and it won't affect the people already inside the party.
**Next Step:**
Now that you have a cert, a firewall, and a clear understanding of the systemd plumbing, is there anything else you need to configure on this VPS, or shall we call this ticket closed?

Voltairine de Cleyre (1866–1912) was an American anarchist writer, lecturer, and organiser. She is best known for her essays on individual liberty, anti-authoritarianism, feminism, free thought, and labour autonomy. Initially influenced by individualist anarchism (Tucker, Spooner), she later adopted a “no-label” or “anarchism without adjectives” position, arguing that economic schools should not divide the movement.
Her most noted works include *The Dominant Idea*, *Sex Slavery*, and *Direct Action*. She was a compelling public speaker, fluent in several languages, and corresponded widely across the international anarchist movement. Her life was marked by poverty, chronic illness, and a deep commitment to education and mutual aid; she taught immigrant workers English for free for years.
Emma Goldman called her “the most gifted and brilliant anarchist woman America ever produced.”

Precisely.
As for DNS, its installed base is the only excuse for its perpetuation. Public/private key pair signing is the only non-client server option that remains.
Sensible move decentralising the NIPs, well done.

Nice try. Now every nostr user is obliged to have bitcoin and subsidise the miners while the relays get?
Decentralised personal and group relays are probably the best solution, you can't spam my relay, and I only hook it up with others. The word "relay" is another poor nomenclature choice. It doesn't much relay as store and forward, and it doesn't do that to the extent that say SMTP MTAs did.
The motive for this, enriching miners while they do nothing and others do the actual work looks like an indirect subsidy.
Fortunately it's not mandatory and if you choose it, all strength to your hand. Best outcome is this isn't yet-another-login-protocol kind of problem that complicates and reduces utility. Coming from the home of Electrum, that's no surprise.

Should I upgrade the older smaller NRS with this code? The picture didn't match, but I did anyway and now it doesn't light up and say GM any more?

The benefits aren't free, those from the centralised are paid for in surveillance and control, in nostr, it's DIY effort.
If you write it, post it everywhere you can, if there's an RSS feed it can be automatically, more or less, deployed to a nostr relay.

The person in the video is not Decarlos Brown. It’s Jaleel Smith-Riley, sentenced back in 25th October of 2016. As for Decarlos Brown, he’s only been charged with murder, however no trial has started yet.

Right — that prompt:
> `You can now close this terminal with Ctrl+D, or press Enter to restart.`
is a **local terminal wrapper**, likely from **WSL** (or possibly VS Code's terminal), not your SSH client. Here's what happened:
1. You were in a remote session (via SSH or Docker exec).
2. That session exited with code 1.
3. The terminal wrapper you’re using (e.g. WSL terminal, Windows Terminal tab, VS Code Remote window, etc.) gave you a **local message** — *not from the remote host*.
4. When you pressed **Enter**, it restarted your shell — **locally**, in WSL, not a new SSH session.
So: **the terminal was local**, and **the message was from your local shell/session manager**. It restarted into WSL bash or zsh when you hit Enter — not your SSH client — because the SSH client had cleanly exited and your terminal environment defaulted back to the local shell.
In short:
**Pressing Enter restarted the terminal wrapper’s default shell (WSL), not your last remote session.**

You can't fence off danger, you can't filter "bad" from the network.
You've got your feels and intuition but civilisation is stepping beyond your gut and emotion and using brain thinks.
Not only does the attempt fail, and burden the "innocent," it will eventually reveal itself as a very bad idea.
Underlying a lot of Trump's administration are ancient or emergency powers, given for "good" reason, but now, the risk is revealed.

Imagine a Britain where access to Wikipedia is restricted not by a hostile foreign power, nor by a rogue ISP, but by our own government. This is no dystopian fantasy; it is the potential consequence of the Online Safety Act—legislation passed, ironically, in the name of safety but now threatening the very infrastructure of free knowledge.
Under the Act, Wikipedia—a globally trusted, not-for-profit educational site—could be forced to limit UK users, distort its open-editing model, and verify the identities of its volunteer moderators. Why? Because any service with more than seven million users that features recommendation tools or link-sharing may be classified as a “category one” platform, subject to the same regulatory burdens as TikTok or Facebook—algorithm-driven entertainment giants with wholly different structures and risks. The UK could become the first liberal democracy to block itself from an online encyclopaedia.
Responsibility for this legislative vandalism lies with a gallery of digital, culture, media, and sport ministers who had little grasp of the internet and even less humility: Nadine Dorries, whose technological insight seemed limited to whether a programme had subtitles; Michelle Donelan, who shepherded the Bill through Parliament with slogans and sound bites; Lucy Frazer, who confused regulation with repression; and Peter Kyle, now in court arguing that the harms are hypothetical, as though passing sweeping laws and hoping for the best were an acceptable digital policy.
This law does not make us safer; it makes us smaller, poorer, and more parochial. It is censorship under another name. Though sold as a measure to protect children and stop illegal content—a noble aim—its drafting is so broad, its application so clumsy, that it will hobble legitimate services instead of halting harmful ones.
It fails because it treats all large platforms alike, ignoring the gulf between attention-manipulating networks and collaborative knowledge projects. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a dopamine slot machine. The Act creates legal risks for anonymity, undermining the volunteer model that makes Wikipedia possible. It punishes sites simply for recommending useful information, and it encourages self-censorship, as services will over-block content or restrict access to avoid fines of up to £18 million or ten per cent of global turnover. In the name of protection, it infantilises citizens who are entitled to freedom of inquiry.
As if the economic and academic restraints of Brexit were not damaging enough, we now impose informational restraints—amputating our own intellect. The UK increasingly behaves not like an open democracy but a wary provincial state, mimicking the strategies of closed ones. In Russia, Wikipedia is blocked outright under disinformation laws; in Britain, it may be throttled under safety laws. In Russia, real-name registration is required; in Britain, identity verification may be demanded of Wikipedia editors. The difference is one of degree, not kind.
Wikipedia does not harvest data, sell ads, or serve political agendas. It has no billionaire CEO tweeting policy on a whim. Yet it risks being shackled simply because it is popular, free, and open source. When lawmakers apply rules designed for Silicon Valley behemoths to educational charities, they reveal their ignorance: they are not keeping anyone safe—they are dismantling a pillar of democracy, the free exchange of knowledge.
Instead of quarantining the internet, Britain should invest in digital literacy, improve content-moderation standards through international cooperation, and apply proportionate oversight where actual harm occurs. Censorship does not work; education does. If we continue down this path, we will find ourselves regulated like autocracies, governed by mediocrity, and informed by algorithms designed in fear. And the bitter irony? We will be unable to look up the history of our mistake—because Wikipedia will not load.

"Bitcoin is not a debt receipt: It is a pure asset with clear monetary utility. Moreover, it is historically unprecedented as a technology that offers virtually no potential utility towards violent ends whatsoever, and yet high defensibility against violence. These form an intellectual foundation for a radical reimagining of the monetary weave of the social fabric."

The Angel of Death stands between heaven and earth, holding a poison-dripping sword. Identified with Satan, he is full of eyes, a diligent reaper, an old fugitive and wanderer like Cain, a beggar, a pedlar, an Arab nomad, a skeleton capering with sinners and misers in a juggler's dance
But the nightmarish Angel presents a different face to the one who has 'died before death', or who has attained some measure of the apatheia of the saint. We are told that Azrael, Death, appears to our spirit in a form determined by our beliefs, actions, and dispositions during life. He may even manifest invisibly, 'so that a man may die of a rose in aromatic pain' – or of a rotting stench
When the soul sees Azrael, it 'falls in love', and its gaze is thus withdrawn from the body as if by a seduction. Great prophets and saints have even been politely invited by Death, who appears to them in corporeal form. Thus it was with Moses, and with Mohammed. When the Persian poet Rumi lay on his deathbed, Azrael appeared as a beautiful youth and said, "I am come by divine command to enquire what commission the Master may have to entrust in me."
In fact, a strange connection becomes apparent between Mors and Amor, Love and Death. The moment of 'extinction' in the pleasure of love resembles that of death, and thus that of the mystic. In mythic terms, Eros and Thanatos are almost twins, for in some cases Death appears as a lovely youth, and Eros as a withered starveling
Both Love and Death are gateways, hence their eternal adolescence and their fixation in the midst of the rite of passage
