We had bees in our eves a couple of years ago. The advice: unless they're causing problems (stinging people, or causing structual damage) then leave them be. They'll all leave at the end of the season, and unlikely to return. Worked for us (thankfully they weren't causing us a major problem).

This has been a part of my entire life. It was in my grandparents' kitchen many years before I was born. My parents had a slightly newer one in their kitchen. I inherited this one a long time ago. And today, all it can speak is a repeating announcement, telling me to listen digitally.
I *really* miss Test Match Special, that went a couple of years ago.
I would ffequently turn it off in annoyance. But I'd always turn it back on.
An rare remaining analogue input that I tresured in an otherwise digital world, even when it spouted nonsense.

'Who else, but me?'
If there's nobody else - imposter syndrome dealt with.
If there could be someone else, but they aren't here - why? Probably, tbey don't care enough, or at least aren't any more qualified than you - usually, imposter syndrome dealt with.
If there *should* be someone else, but they aren't here - again, why? That's usually a sign an old system/paradigm is breaking, or stuff has changed, leaving a way open for you - imposter syndrome dealt with.
My working hypothesis is that imposter syndrome comes from seeking permission. Live permissionlessly.

I have discovered, after a lot of thought, that *I* am much less motivated by sovereignty than agency. For as long as folk don't feel their agency threatened, they won't think about sovereignty much. Agency is either rooted in sovereignty, or in trust. If that trust is misplaced, nobody notices or cares until they are let down in some way.

Love the idea of Keet, but up to now I've been disappointed.
Firstly, it's been about-to-be-open-source for what feels like years now.
Secondly, I've not found it reliable - post a larger file, a couple of hours later it won't download, or stay downloaded (it previously was there, but now it's waiting for other peers to be back online before I can access it again).
But the worst thing is, every time I come to use it after a week or two, I can't do anything without a forced upgrade. And I've lost access to using it at all on a few older devices (particularly on iOS) - it forced an upgrade, then never worked again. As a relatively non-technical person, this makes it is hard to trust. (How do I know it is a genuine upgrade? If a bad actor was involved, how do I know I'm not just replacing it with a compromised version? ...or at very least, I can't be sure it'll still work after I upgrade, which means I can't rely on it for anything longer term than just whatever I'm using it for today).
This also means introducing it to other people is problematic - it solves a bunch of communication, privacy and file transfer problems beautifully, but if their experience is usually 'it doesn't work', then it's pretty much a non starter in that context.
I very much hope that my trust in it can be rebuilt, and the technical wrinkles can be ironed out, because it has masses of potential.

Not a dev, so this might be nonsense, but if you cou'd set your own exchange rate then you could do it by default, without the software having to change anything else. Something like a site-specific, or even item-spe<ific rate that is 10% different to the current spot price. Because the amount of sats vs the price in fiat is kind of a fiction anyway
