Happy last day of 2024!<br/><br/>It&#39;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&#39;ve made here on Nostr--it&#39;s a great community and a great group of folks.<br/><br/>Perhaps at some point, I&#39;ll create a new nsec and return--but if so, I&#39;ll be more of a &#34;reader&#34; than a &#34;poster&#34;. But for now, I&#39;ll simply close out this year wishing eveyone the best for the future.<br/><br/>Devs--keep it going--you&#39;ve got something truly special here in Nostr--don&#39;t ever let anyone convince you otherwise!<br/><br/>😃 <br/><br/>God bless you all!<br/><br/>Now--it&#39;s time for a coffee!

Happy Monday!<br/><br/>Saw a post yesterday that showed that there are only 2,000 or so BTC nodes operating in the US.<br/><br/>And out of curiosity, I looked up on meshmap and saw there are about 1,500 #meshtastic nodes...(of course with far fewer users)<br/><br/>What this says to me is that we need to have more people running BTC nodes!<br/><br/>Seriously, it&#39;s neither hard, nor expensive. Grab a Raspberry Pi5, a 1TB SSD (min) and Umbrel and you&#39;re up and running...for about $125 or so. <br/><br/>Oh--and you&#39;ll need a cup of coffee while you plug it in!

Let&#39;s review:<br/><br/>a) Apple receives and stores your contacts - and within those contacts are way more than phone numbers. (Think birthdays, addresses, kids names, etc.) and you are exposing all of that personal information of your friends to Apple without their consent. Also, your photos are subject to facial recognition, and that means your friends&#39; faces too--and that&#39;s linked to GPS EXIF data, so now Apple knows where your friends have been, and when.<br/><br/>b) Client Side Scanning lets Apple look at all of your photos for illegal content BEFORE that data is encrypted. It was implemented to help combat child porn, but of course your data can be scanned for anything that Apple might choose.<br/><br/>c) Apple devices establish a &#34;mesh&#34; network with all other Apple devices--this is how &#34;Find my Phone&#34; and Apple Air Tags work. Every phone and every tag is constantly monitored for location (not only by your phone but by every other iPhone on the street), and that data is sent back to Apple constantly (i.e., when you lose your phone Apple doesn&#39;t scan for it, it simply &#34;looks up&#34; the last known location in its database and sends it back to you).<br/><br/>Again, I&#39;m not expecting you to change your behavior (although I might hope you woud consider it)--just putting this out there to increase awareness of what Apple is really doing....but please recognize these statements and Apple activities are 100% factual. 2024-12-22T17:50:20+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdv6t905khl6ms3q5wswh3mgcuhqjsvrl2lty08n2amrnzx0sxuggzyz20v6np8z3quysva7lrgvgrrp5qfpr6m9sex9nkrcl8dgrz6hldqe6xdvs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstafejtmzv29gtnlphdezckl9v92a2g5dr4dgxp5s4tg2euatpecc4jtz2w'>nevent1q…tz2w</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>nSTDs --- hilarious! 2024-12-22T17:33:54+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsx379gfj5mmqpcx79cf0uzr5eusx2uj5yqmq4pdkz2g2ddknuajwqzyz20v6np8z3quysva7lrgvgrrp5qfpr6m9sex9nkrcl8dgrz6hldqque9yh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxnyrttylepe4fjmf94c3wscrldvdwkr2u954h3sgr0mfjjqy0e5qxdkmh8'>nevent1q…kmh8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Odds are you won&#39;t be able to change a meth addict&#39;s behavior...<br/><br/>But you might be able to convince someone else to not become a meth addict... 2024-12-22T15:41:48+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsp4g6sd5qp8gddeyzg94082mv3tu0hk9r3wpkq3349dgvcj93urzqzyz20v6np8z3quysva7lrgvgrrp5qfpr6m9sex9nkrcl8dgrz6hldqa5sd0m GM Nostr! Happy Sunday!<br/><br/>Had a thought--why don&#39;t we implement &#34;inverse&#34; zaps in Nostr?<br/><br/>So everyone is saying there&#39;s currently not a good way for developers to be paid for their efforts--what if everyone was required to expose a portion of their wallets for &#34;inverse zaps&#34; (say 10% or so?) and anyone with a worthwhile project could then unilaterally &#34;withdraw&#34; some of those zaps to cover their costs? <br/><br/>The developers could then create products that could benefit everyone...after all, they would know what the best products would be, and we (as users) would be able to then directly support those efforts. If everyone was required to chip in their fair share, then we&#39;d all benefit. <br/><br/>Devs of course would only withdraw what they needed for each project., but I&#39;m betting with such a guaranteed income, we&#39;d all find that there would soon be a plethora of great projects coming our way.<br/><br/>In the event we found there were more projects than current inverse zaps could support, we can simply increase the &#34;inverse zap&#34; required percentage for everyone. <br/><br/>Seems like a win-win...<br/><br/>(And before I get permanently muted, please recognize this is sarcasm, using inverse zaps as a metaphor for governmental taxation) <br/><br/>Time for coffee...<br/><br/>#coffeechain<br/>#asknostr<br/><br/><br/><br/> 2024-12-22T15:28:08+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsz0r5e9v37xd4lp23hduyal76tkdsay4797ec0v9r7xtqg93hzm2czyz20v6np8z3quysva7lrgvgrrp5qfpr6m9sex9nkrcl8dgrz6hldq87ypcg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz7mwg828g8aft8fs2ma7nmdvhcsesp67r9dvae9amcsw47xuhqvsy5ujsa'>nevent1q…ujsa</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Well, if you are comfortable giving up your privacy, and the privacy of all of your friends, then by all means carry on.<br/><br/>If you&#39;re comfortable with client side scanning, and having Apple curating all of your photos and the information on your phone, carry on.<br/><br/>If you&#39;re comfortable being having all your activities tracked by Apple via its BLE mesh, then carry on.<br/><br/>As with any meth addict, they know its bad for them, but they choose to ignore the consequences and continue to use. <br/><br/>So it is with iOS users... 2024-12-22T15:09:56+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsw7v2xkdcd3z9pawzy23xkw0h5znzevd65qgvdjac9mdwpy9gj2rgzyz20v6np8z3quysva7lrgvgrrp5qfpr6m9sex9nkrcl8dgrz6hldqsmpqxh Saw this elsewhere and had to share...<br/><br/> <img src="https://m.primal.net/NCdM.png"> 2024-12-21T17:15:18+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsd93nt07lxtxlu0gcx0avlgcywx07r2hmhhr22qqe4wqku6hqutdgzyz20v6np8z3quysva7lrgvgrrp5qfpr6m9sex9nkrcl8dgrz6hldqaagxe3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9n306py797lfz5s8dltzg75389dhe8ydygjlkee8c38cpn5sa4jgkmdm4v'>nevent1q…dm4v</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Once people become dependent on the Government, they&#39;re forever lost.<br/><br/>It&#39;s the same in every country--it&#39;s financial addiction--people work for the government, and get &#34;free stuff&#34;, and eventually it&#39;s just &#34;easier&#34;...it&#39;s a &#34;comfortable&#34; life--the govenment provides and &#34;takes care of them&#34;, it &#34;keeps them safe&#34;...but at what cost?<br/><br/>Is it any wonder that they then vote to keep the status quo? <br/><br/>Sad, but for the majority of Americans, this has become their life--living a comfortable existence as a slave to the government... 2024-12-21T16:27:43+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswqjyx57vhug3le4eu0gk7na6aq7wsqfpgn8qyc83yvwfk05upajqzyz20v6np8z3quysva7lrgvgrrp5qfpr6m9sex9nkrcl8dgrz6hldq3jk2m7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv67hudn42q5emnmr8yzuu6adagnlkmxx26k9ux2cdz36z9hswtcqmeykpl'>nevent1q…ykpl</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Sigh... &#34;I have nothing to hide&#34; -- &#34;it&#39;s so convenient&#34;...<br/><br/>Every meth addict has experienced the same thing...&#34;I like it too much to give it up&#34;<br/><br/>Most Americans are indeed sheeple...just living their lives in a state of oblivion.

This is the day some Orthodox celebrate Christ&#39;s baptism, so traditions rotate around blessing of waters.</p> <p><img src="https://www.tovima.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/05/%CE%B8%CE%B5%CE%BF%CF%86%CE%B1%CE%BD%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%B1-scaled.jpg" alt="Diving"/></p> <p>The Monday after Epiphany was the start of the farming season, in England, so that Sunday all of the ploughs were blessed, but the practice has largely died out.</p> <p><img src="https://bpb-eu-w2.wpmucdn.com/blogs.reading.ac.uk/dist/a/54/files/2016/01/Plough_Monday.jpg" alt="Plough"/></p> <p>Our local tradition is for the altar servers to dress as the wise men and go door-to-door, carrying their star and looking for the Baby Jesus, who is rumored to be lying in a manger.</p> <p><img src="https://www.erzbistum-paderborn.de/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/11/STEF0350.jpg" alt="Stern"/></p> <p>They collect cash gifts and chocolates, along the way, and leave the generous their powerful blessing, written over the door. The famous 20 * C + M + B * 25 blessing means &#34;Christus mansionem benedicat&#34; (Christ, bless this house), or &#34;Caspar, Melchior, Balthasar&#34; (the names of the three kings), depending upon who you ask.</p> <p>They offer the cash to the Baby Jesus (once they find him in the church&#39;s Nativity scene), but eat the sweets, themselves. It is one of the biggest donation-collections in the world, called the &#34;Sternsinger&#34; (star singers). The money goes from the German children, to help children elsewhere, and they collect around €45 million in cash and coins, every year.</p> <p><img src="https://ychef.files.bbci.co.uk/624x351/p0h8c3sc.jpg" alt="Groundhog"/></p> <p>As an interesting aside:</p> <p>The American &#34;groundhog day&#34;, derives from one of the old farmers&#39; sayings about Candlemas, brought over by the Pennsylvania Dutch. It says, that if the badger comes out of his hole and sees his shadow, then it&#39;ll remain cold for 4 more weeks. When they moved to the USA, they didn&#39;t have any badgers around, so they switched to groundhogs, as they also hibernate in winter.</p> </blockquote> 2024-12-14T16:07:43+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs937u9nwt6u79ns678c3s6z85zrqccd40w0vxu86plva0zt3mrgyczyz20v6np8z3quysva7lrgvgrrp5qfpr6m9sex9nkrcl8dgrz6hldq9e5fhp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdtej8gw3cfj9nrvgfjts7q8v30rjcq3egkh8l36xafzz7p3dertsq4u4d4'>nevent1q…u4d4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thanks for putting this together L...really interesting to read through! 😃 2024-12-14T16:02:27+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspezldnpxtl7r7v3rmdwhgfya8xyja8437jngv25j95ws8xu4k2rczyz20v6np8z3quysva7lrgvgrrp5qfpr6m9sex9nkrcl8dgrz6hldqc3mlr0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsp7mh7h8p05vx0we4u0fr643kqzkc8h6awrzyn7y0mk4p630p4aasuq9pkx'>nevent1q…9pkx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>No--I just use clent.meshtastic.org if I need it...but I really use (and prefer) the phone app...just used the web app for the T-Deck (as it wouldn&#39;t connect to the phone app).<br/><br/>Maybe there is a solution (i.e., maybe it&#39;s me) but given the other challenges wtih the UI, I decided to put it on the shelf and go back to the Meshtastic firmware. <br/><br/>Will wait to see how the T-Deck Pro goes, and then maybe I&#39;ll revisit that UI...I&#39;d be surprised if they roll out the Pro with &#34;only&#34; the standard meshtastic UI...<br/><br/> 2024-12-14T15:57:49+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2w5mj57h06djp0hhpmuv5qtfl7yv8k299p5pp66xaa8kn2cy3myszyz20v6np8z3quysva7lrgvgrrp5qfpr6m9sex9nkrcl8dgrz6hldqcdrklt In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd3eypzva9kkpnyvzn3dxag0my465ejgccfgy9l700hhdgfjqsu8cxptz3c'>nevent1q…tz3c</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Well, I understand the dev is continuing to work on that UI, and there is a T-Deck &#34;Pro&#34; coming soon, so perhaps it will improve shortly.<br/><br/>Still, even without the cool UI the T-Deck is the best #meshtastic device I&#39;ve used so far, and if I were to recommend one to a person just starting out, the T-Deck would be it. <br/><br/>Other devices are cheaper, better battery life, etc. but being truly self-contained is a game changer. 2024-12-14T15:47:26+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswhuh9h0pcm3yxk5r60wf696j96ty8he79wvplmkxserk87p0gcvgzyz20v6np8z3quysva7lrgvgrrp5qfpr6m9sex9nkrcl8dgrz6hldq9ymn76 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstfc8pw3lwuam95gnd0dsfecj3xzruucnt49ewzytqwcrq8sec49qgtt806'>nevent1q…t806</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Man, that&#39;s going to be hard to clean... 2024-12-14T15:42:05+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsva95dv2scc5r9qlmazy47l4s8ahh62wxgqedxgd8fqm6dpd3rjsgzyz20v6np8z3quysva7lrgvgrrp5qfpr6m9sex9nkrcl8dgrz6hldql07jrt GM Nostr! Happy Saturday!<br/><br/>So gave up on the prototype &#34;pretty&#34; UI for the T-Deck and went bact to the stock #meshtastic firmware (at least for the time being).<br/><br/>The UI was amazing, but just not stable enough (biggest problem for me was if it was turned off (or reset--easy to do with the T-Deck) it couldn&#39;t send messages--well, they get sent and you get an ACK back, but messages never show up on the remote devices. The only way to solve this that I found is to receive a message on the T-Deck first--and once that message is received you can then send messages. I also couldn&#39;t connect to the T-Deck with the Meshtastic phone app - could only connect via a serial connection to Meshtastic web, and even that was buggy. (So really hard to change settings--espeically GPS which is not part of the prototype UI).<br/><br/>The stock firmware does not exhibit these behaviors, so I&#39;ll stick with that as it&#39;s simply more usable. Still love the T-Deck though--the keyboard makes it a true stanalone unit, which is what makes Meshtastic a compelling technology.<br/><br/>Time for coffee after writing such a long post...<br/><br/>#coffeechain 2024-12-14T15:36:27+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxw25p0qta5faf2sqwjx74y58ud53ksf2d7mu4te6gwjennxdaykczyz20v6np8z3quysva7lrgvgrrp5qfpr6m9sex9nkrcl8dgrz6hldq20auwq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxrxn26egl28uhd0fce6efll7r2gn5dpzl76gt8l0rrhkwq23k2jglek3jn'>nevent1q…k3jn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Hey--now you have some great movies to watch! 2024-12-13T18:39:52+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8ewvw4q92q6zzdasquaaymt54zgl6ggwakwuq0gcm7yka398camszyz20v6np8z3quysva7lrgvgrrp5qfpr6m9sex9nkrcl8dgrz6hldq9l0m3f In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyslve7hcn0nqmpw59aaa3ep9e9psp6pljm7jseewy7dwhlrzty2qm4umad'>nevent1q…umad</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Huh...I&#39;ve always thought being a bot might be cooll...guess I are one... 2024-12-13T15:37:40+01:00
