#### Can someone that hates the government celebrate Independence day? I believe they can --- --- ## Defining Terms Before I answer that let me preface my thoughts with this. There are three things that get used as if they mean the same thing. 1. Nation 2. Country 3. Government Many people use these interchangeably yet they are three different things. The fact that many people do not realize or recognize this leads to confusion and frustration when they hear someone being critical of the government, and its policies. 1. Nation is the people 2. Country is the land 3. Government is the state. The system ruling over the people within the borders of the land. ## What America is to me Over the years as I've become more disenfranchised with the US government and the state as in idea I have had an internal struggle with patriotism[^1]. I love this country and its people but I hate many things the government has done and is still doing. I no longer vote. I do not believe the political forces represent me or any of us. I believe the Constitution is a beautify document but it has been powerless to stop the march to where we are today. I am ashamed of what the US and many state and local governments do. And yet, I still love America. Some people have tried to make me feel as if I do not love America. This isn't true. I'm proud to call myself an American. I love our country and what the people (on the whole over time) stand for. The ideals of liberty and justice. The ideals of the only limitation being your own willingness to work. The idea of being unashamed of what you believe. The idea of fresh starts. The ideas that drove people to the new world. These values are good. They have not always been upheld or modeled but the ideas are core to being an American. When you talk to an immigrant that has came to this country you can see how special America is. --- --- ## The US government is not America I believe the state is evil and responsible for more death and destruction than any entity that has ever existed. But, I do not want to live in chaos, I support governance. Governance exists in each of our lives. It is mostly voluntary and rarely includes violence or the threat of violence. The state uses violence to force the people into submission. The state is an entity that has a monopoly on the use of violence. The US government is not what makes me proud. It makes me ashamed. The actions of those in power are deplorable. Many of them are anti-American. When the founders penned the documents that created the federal government there was much concern about the federal government trampling over the rights of **the people**. And the evil isn't new. Look at what the US government did to the native people in this country. The state is ruthless. Our culture is far to comfortable with the violence the state perpetrates. Maybe you don't think we can abolish the state as I do. That's OK. But can we agree that its grown too big and too powerful? --- --- ## Food for thought I challenge you to think about this over the next few days. Who has your back? Is it your friends and family or is it some politician or bureaucrat? You might be thinking well, there are men who laid down their lives for our freedoms. Ok, but they are people. Most of us that oppose war oppose the abuse of those soldiers. Many times they are being used as tools for the elite. Most of us respect those that are willing to sacrifice themselves for their family and their nation. If you talk to vets(I know many) they believe in the values I have described. Those people have my respect. Most do not love the government. They love the people. They love the country. They love their families and our cultural values. They do not want to live under tyranny. Yet as the state grows in power we are increasingly living under a technocratic system that rivals the USSR. In the name of preserving freedom the state has created a tyrannical system that robs us of our freedoms. It is fueled by a political system that divides us and pits neighbor against neighbor. I invite you to reject these ideas. This political poison. We don't need to agree with each other on everything. We are being forced into this stupid arguments constantly. Live and let live. Stop trying to use force to make everyone live like you. That's un-American. Its not what this nation is about. Yet that is where we are. --- --- ### The dollar isn't American Bitcoiners should understand this. Many Americans think bitcoin is bad because the identify the dollar as American. Again, this is ignorance. The US government predates the dollar. The dollar is fiat. I believe it is anti-American. Bitcoin is American. It is censorship resistant. It is created by proof of work. It has no rulers. What is more American than that? But you see this is the same issue as thinking being American has something to do with the government. The government is something we can change, or replace. If we did would we cease to be who we are? I don't think so. --- --- ## Happy Independence day Happy Independence day stackers. Lets work on thinking more independently and living with each other in peace. Reject the political framing. We don't have to love and agree with everything everyone does. We can respect each others rights to do things we wouldn't do. We can do better at that. We could all probably focus on improving our own backyard a little more and forcing people that live across the country to do or not do things a little less. Celebrate your freedom and the freedom of others on this Independence day. --- --- What do you love about America? The people and the land. [^1]: Inspired by SNL (@k00b, and @car)

บันทึกเจอนี่ อีกหลักไมล์นึง เดือนกรกฎาคม เป็นเดือนสุดท้ายกับชีวิตครึ่งบกครึ่งน้ำครับ หลังจาก 31 กรกฎาคม 2567 ผมก็จะยุติชีวิตการทำงานโฆษณาอย่างเต็มตัว 22ปีในรูปแบบบริษัท กับอีก 3ปีในรูปแบบ freelance ศิริรวมแล้ว 25ปีในงานสายนี้ ถือว่าหมดก๊อกทุกอย่างแล้วครับ กับชีวิตที่ทำตามหลักการตลาด หลักการประชาสัมพันธ์ ชีวิตที่ทุกงานต้องทำตอบโจทย์ เอากลุ่มเป้าหมายเป็นหลัก ดูว่าเป้าหมายต้องการจะทำอะไรแล้วผลิตสิ่งนั้นออกมาเพื่อให้ตลาดสนใจและมาซื้อมาดู สินค้าหรือกิจกรรมที่ทำ ทำมาตั้งแต่ talk of the town ไปจน trend setter ในบางเรื่อง พูดภาษาง่ายๆว่า ทำตาม4p มาจนเอือมแล้วครับ ยืนระยะมาทุกวิกฤติการเงินการเมือง จนรู้สึกว่าพอแล้วดีกว่าเนอะ ไล่ทำตามสิ่งที่คนอื่นอยากได้ ไล่ทำตามสิ่งที่คิดว่าเป็นที่ต้องการของใครหลายๆคน คิดว่าพอแล้ว คิดมาสัก 2ปีแล้วครับ จนได้วาระสุดท้ายจริงๆ ที่ผ่านมาผม lost time ไปมากมาย ทั้งการแก้งานแบบไร้สาระ ทั้งการห้ำหั่นคู่แข่งเพื่อได้งาน ทั้งการบีบเวลาด้วยการเมืองของลูกค้าที่ต้องย่นเวลาจาก 1สัปดาห์มาเป็น1ชั่วโมงให้ได้ lost time lost energy มากครับ ทำมา 25ปี ช่วงโค้งหลังๆได้เห็นความไร้มนุษยธรรมในวงการมากขึ้นอย่างชัดเจน ผมว่า 25ปี เพียงพอที่จะเห็นกราฟอะไรบางอย่างในตัวมนุษย์จริงๆครับ ความเหี้ยมที่มากขึ้น ความ no สน no แคร์ที่รุนแรง สมัยผมยังมีคำว่าคู่ค้านะ สมัยนี้เหรอ 555555 มึงอยากได้มึงทำไปเดี๋ยวกูบรีฟมึงตอน6โมงเย็นแล้วเอางาน8โมง หรือไม่ก็ เดี๋ยวกูไปหาคนอื่นดูก่อน ถ้าพังกลับมาค่อยมาบี้กับมึงแทน จะมองให้ธรรมดาก็ได้ครับ ก็มองมาตลอด แต่มันมองได้แค่ตาข้างเดียว และผมรู้ดีว่าผมอยู่บนโลกด้วยตาข้างที่แย่ไม่ได้ ผมหลับตาข้างเดียวได้ แต่ขอหลับข้างที่แย่ดีกว่าครับ ในช่วงปีหลังนี้ผมเริ่มสลับเอาสิ่งที่อยากทำมาทำมากขึ้น เอาตัวเองเป็นหลักมากขึ้น พูดให้เห็นภาพก็คือ ขอใช้ชีวิตที่เหลือเป็นศิลปินแล้วครับ ไม่ต้องตกใจ ไม่ได้ออกเทป ไม่ได้วาดรูป ศิลปินในนิยามของผู้ทำงานศิลปะ ในแขนงของผม อาจจะเป็น ศิลปการทำอาหาร ศิลปะการสื่อสารออนไลน์ แต่ผมเพียงพอแล้วกับการทำตามโจทย์ว่ากลุ่มเป้าหมายต้องการอะไร แล้วพุ่งไปทำสิ่งนั้น สิ่งที่คิดว่าจะทำต่อไปคือ ทำในสิ่งที่อยากทำ ทำมันไปเรื่อยๆแหละ เพราะเป้าหมายคือความสุข มีคนชอบสิ่งที่เราทำแค่คนเดียว ก็รื่นรมย์แล้ว หรือไม่มีคนชอบเลยผมก็รื่นรมย์อยู่ดีเพราะได้ทำในสิ่งที่อยากทำ ผมให้เวลากับกลุ่มเป้าหมายมาทั้งชีวิต ผมจ่ายมันด้วยเวลาชีวิต ที่เอาคนอื่นมาเป็นเกณฑ์ว่าผมควรทำอะไร แต่ต่อจากนี้ไป ผมจะใช้เวลาให้กับชีวิตตัวเองครับ Spend time ให้กับตัวเอง เป็นการจ่ายที่มีคุณค่ามากที่สุดในชีวิต ผมได้เริ่มไปแล้วครับ ผม spend time กับหมูแดงฮ่องกง ที่ต้องใช้เวลาในการย่าง 3ชั่วโมง ใช้เวลาในการเตรียมของราวๆ 1ชั่วโมง ไม่รวมเรื่องหมักเรื่องอะไร การได้หมูแดงในแบบที่ผมชอบ อาจใช้เวลาเฉลี่ยถึง 5ชั่วโมงต่อแบทเทอร์ แต่ผมมีความสุขในการทำ ในการค้นหาสมุนไพรเพื่อให้ได้กลิ่นและรสในแบบที่ผมต้องการ ผม spend time กับมันตั้งแต่การเดินทางค้นหาวัตถุดิบ spend time ในการไปหาผู้อาวุโสให้เล่าเรื่องสมัยก่อน วิธีการ รวมถึงของที่ใช้แบบสมัยก่อนจริงๆ spend time ในการทดลองกินเจ้าที่อร่อยๆระดับประเทศ spend time ในการปรับจูนสูตรให้เป็นแบบที่ต้องการ กี่เวอร์ชั่นแล้วเวอร์ชั่นเล่า แทนที่จะท้อแต่ผมกลับรู้สึกสนุกไปกับมัน ผมได้ spend time กับสิ่งที่ใช้อิสระทางใจในการทำ และที่สำคัญ ผมได้กลับมา spend time กับคุณเอ๋แบบเต็มที่หลังจากที่เอา time ไปให้กับอะไรก็ไม่รู้ที่ผ่านมา ใช่คับ มันอาจมาในคราบความมั่นคง และ time ที่เหลือต่อจากนี้ไปมันอาจมีภาพที่ตอบไม่ได้ว่าจะออกหน้าไหน แต่ผมเห็นภาพที่ชัดเจนว่าอยากทำอะไร การ spend ของผมต่อจากนี้ไป โดยเฉพาะเรื่อง time ผมจะเป็นคนเลือกเองเพราะคุณค่าของ time ที่เหลือนั้นมันยิ่งทรงคุณค่าขึ้นไปเรื่อยๆ แปรผันตามความโรยรา โชคดีที่ผมได้รู้จัก บิทคอยน์ เป็นแผนรองรับ ไม่รู้จะหมู่หรือจ่า แต่ว่าผมเห็นอะไรบางอย่างในมัน หลายคนแนะนำผมว่าควรทำแบบนั้น แบบนี้ ตอนนี้ตลาดต้องการนั่นนี่ ทำไมไม่ทำสิ่งที่ตลาดต้องการ ผมก็ได้แต่ยิ้มขอบคุณในไมตรีไป แต่ในใจผมมันพอแล้วครับ 25ปี ถือว่าเพียงพอแล้ว ผมเป็นศิลปินแล้ว แม้มันจะมีโอกาสไส้แห้ง แต่ผมได้ spend time ที่มีคุณค่า กับสิ่งที่ผมรักจะทำ และ กับคนที่ผมรัก value ของ time มีมากเลยครับ GFH พุ่งพรวด (Gross Family Happiness)  เหลือก็แค่ว่า ผู้คนจะอภิเชษฎ์สิ่งที่ผม spend time ลงไปไหม และยินดีตอบรับสิ่งที่ผมทำแค่ไหน ถ้าดูจากตัววัตถุ มันอาจไม่ทรงคุณค่าะไร แต่ต้นทุนที่ผม spend ลงไป มันมากเสียเหลือเกิน ลองย้อนไปอ่านสิ่งที่ผม spend time ไว้สิครับ 55555 มันอาจไม่ได้เป็นตัวท้อปๆของไทย แต่เมื่อถึงวันที่ออกมาได้จริงๆ มันจะเป็นสิ่งที่ผมภูมิใจ หลังจากนั้นก็เหมือนกับเพลงแล้วครับ อยู่ที่ว่าคนฟังจะชอบหรือเปล่าแค่นั้นเอง เพราะเข้าใจดีว่าการที่เรา spend time ในการทำมากไม่ได้แปรผันตามกับการที่คนจะชื่นชอบ มันอาจแปรผกผันก็ได้นะ ก๊ากกก  นอกจากนี้ผมยัง spend time ให้กับหมูกรอบ ไก่เกราะ (5555 ใช่ครับไก่เกราะ หนังกรอบเนื้อนุ่ม) และอาหารอื่นๆอีกมากมายที่ผมกับเอ๋คิดและทดลองสูตรไว้เมื่อตอนโควิดซีซัน1 ต้องนั้นเรา lost time ไปกับงานโฆษณามากเหลือเกิน ตอนนี้เราสามารถเอา time เพื่อมา spend ให้กับสิ่งนี้ได้แล้ว แม้จะปัญหามากมายแต่มันก็เป็น happy problem เพราะถ้าผ่านวงการโฆษณามาได้ อะไรบนโลกนี้มันก็ง่ายแล้วครับ ถือเป็นข้อดีที่ผ่านนรกมาแล้ว ถึงตรงนี้ก็ต้องวัดกันต่อไปครับ ว่างานศิลปะชิ้นนี้ จะมี proof of work เพียงพอที่คนอื่นๆจะให้ value กับมันไหม แต่สิ่งนึงที่เป็นเหตุผลของการบันทึกเจอนี่ นี้ก็คือ อยากให้คนผ่านไปผ่านมาได้หยุดคิดว่า คุณกำลังฟุ่มเฟือยเวลาอยู่หรือเปล่า คุณ spend time กับสิ่งที่มี value เพียงพอจริงๆแล้วหรือยัง ถ้าพวกเรามองว่า time คือสิ่งมีค่า การที่เราจะ spend มันอย่างสุรุ่ยสุร่าย วันนึงมันอาจติดหนี้ของเวลาก็ได้ครับ ผมไม่ได้เล่าเรื่องนี้ในเมนสตรีม แต่ผมว่าในทุ่งม่วงนี้ มี value เพียงพอที่ผมจะ spend time with ครับ ขอจงมีสุขสวัสดิ์ เฮียเอง #siamstr #pirateketo

I do not understand most of the criticism of OpenSats. I mean, I think I do but it is couched in a lot of nonsense about secrecy and lack of transparency. I wonder if its sour grapes mostly. People that were not funded. People that are jealous. I dunno. It bugs me. I'm not saying OpenSats is perfect but its just one of several orgs that support projects. Every time I hear an uneducated and unfair criticism of it I wanna say, "go do it better and show us how its done". One of my biggest pet peeves is when people infantalize themselves or others. People choose to give to OpenSats. People are capable of reading their web site, looking at the projects they support and deciding if they would rather donate directly to devs/projects or not donate at all. There are many non-profits in the world. MANY of them I would never give any money to. It is insane to me to throw rocks at one that is supporting good things. I'm not saying they are above criticism but the criticism should be fair, informed, and logical. I see very little that fit that mold. If you have a problem with someone doing at least some good, your message is easier to take if you aren't petty and unfair in your criticism. Criticism is needed and has massive value but many seem to suck at creating the valuable kind.

I just got a new pair of sandals yesterday. I usually get a 13 but this brand (Birkenstock) had me at 11. They hurt my feet. I got on their website and there was a good FAQ. The best part was about how the sandal facilitates a certain way of walking they call "rolling the toes", but it's really that old stalking technique, weight on back foot, front foot weightless, find a quiet place to set down the leading foot. So I have done this a lot when bowhunting deer and squirrels. But it was not my habitual gait because of having somewhere I must go. I decided to buy into the new habit of walking like the sandals were trying to tell me. I wiped Fixin Wax on all the leather straps and set the sandals out in the very strong sunlight today. I don't know if it was the leather treatment or "rolling the toes" but now i'm in this brand new habit.

I think three major pathways to Bitcoin hold the most orange-pilling potential: 1. **Hard Money Pathway** The first path involves understanding money. Teaching people about money can lead them to consciously choose the best form of it. Unfortunately, this path requires considerable self-education, which many people may find challenging. 2. **NGU (Number Go Up) Pathway** This pathway involves trading. Although not my preferred approach, bull markets have shown that many people are willing to enter the space for short-term gains. While some may get hurt, others are incentivized to learn more about Bitcoin and stay in the space once they understand money. 3. **Freedom Pathway** Most people value freedom. Portraying Bitcoin as a tool for freedom fighters can create positive associations. This pathway is particularly useful for human rights activists and those under distress, such as war refugees and oppressed opposition leaders. Please let me know if you can identify more pathways to Bitcoin that can be used when orange-pilling.

Paul George has signed with Philly, as expected. Embiid, George, and Maxey are a pretty great Big 3. In bigger news, Isaiah Hartenstein has signed with OKC, which will allow Chet to play the 4. All in all, things are looking up for us to have yet another new champion this year.

After I retired my body started working a lot better. The medicines I had been taking for years all of a sudden started working better too. I was taking medicine for diabetes and high blood pressure and a few other things. I suddenly lost a lot of weight and started having low blood pressure and low sugar levels. I was fainting and falling and feeling like I was going to die. My doctors eliminated some medicines and reduced a lot of the others. I immediately felt much better and quickly regained some weight. I still had side effects for a couple of months. Eliminating chronic stress and the resulting rebound of the physical body can be dangerous if nothing else is adjusted.

 Understand the power of your signature on corporate documents. Do you ever feel like you put your signature on everything when it comes to legal documents? A cellphone? Loan(s)? Voting booth? Electricity & Water? Driver's License? Hunting Permit? It seems like anything you want or need. You have to **sign** a contract. What if I told you that there's always a catch? 👉Definition of Reverse Trust Scam: It is a type of fraud that targets **unknowingly individuals**, often using a combination of deception, manipulation, and false promises to convince them (gains your trust) to part with their hard-earned money, privacy, rights, savings, and even property etc. (This could easily get extended with relationships, too) ✨SideNote: There are a lot of very good scammers out there, and many are very creative and use modern day technology just like you. Some may even pose as FBI or the IRS! For the purpose of this article, let's go with something a bit harmless. The new Tesla CyberTruck. Example:  The Tesla CyberTruck has various benefits such as Instant Torque, tech, sustainability, bulletproof, fireproof, customization and off-road etc. You're probably thinking, "YES! SIGN ME UP." You might even be very grateful after you've signed the contract.  Any type of **corporate sale, deal, contract,** the *solicitor* does not **have to** disclose everything in the contract. They only explain what you **get,** and not what you **forfeit,** *or* has **terms** *&* **conditions.** This is where the scam part comes in. First, Let's define what scam[^1] actually means.  This story was published after a man purchased a CyberTruck, "A Man Says Tesla Won’t Let Him Sell His Cybertruck—Even Though It’s Too Big for His [Parking Spot."](https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/tesla-cybertruck-owner-cannot-sell-ev-parking-space-1235638981/) >"That agreement includes a provision that states that if a Cybertruck owner sells the EV during the first year, they can be **fined $50,000** or the value of the vehicle, whichever is greater, and be banned from buying future Teslas." In this case, whether he paid for it fully or partially(via bank loan), he “*owns*” the Truck. Or does he not? So what happened here? He *waived away* his **right** to **sell it** for at least a *year or face heavy penalties*. But the *salesman* did not disclose that **information!** What would you call this? To me --this would be **fraud.** Thanks to the internet, this information has come into light. You might be thinking "fraud," might be a bit harsh. Allow me to explain. What the salesman did was not tell you the information purposefully in order to sale the vehicle(they get paid by commissions). He also has used the power of the law, against you to “protect” himself using your "signature." Essentially, the salesman became the **beneficiary**, and the man is the glorified holder of the "**title**" of the vehicle, redeemable after a year.  Think like an **owner** here for a moment: ✨If I bought a CD with music and resold it later to a friend-he *or* she have full rights. If I gave a PlayStation game to a friend, they can play to their hearts content. This also applies with books, bikes, microwaves, and so forth. You probably don't even pay taxes to these items. 📚🧾🎼The Author of a book holds the trust(copyright), so I cannot copy its content without their permission. Plain and simple. This makes me the beneficiary of that book because I benefitted from reading the book. The music CD and game is copyrighted, but I can still sell it or give it away. 🌠**Note:** I never signed anything for these items, all I did was pay the clerk for ownership. The use of digital products such as ebooks, mp3s, and even your data has **forced** the consumer to agree to platforms ever-changing "**TOS**" and are no longer the owner but rather the digital item(s) are held in custodial care. Doesn't this feel like the **reverse version of ownership**? If you buy ebooks on **Amazon**, you cannot **share** the files nor can you **sell it.** 🍎**Apple** pulls a similar move with the music and app industry. The next runner-up is your data on 🐦**Twitter, Meta,** and **Google**. What about your 👛Bitcoin held on exchanges? They could(FAANG) at will, terminate your account if they desire to do so. Seems like no one benefits, except the **corporations** because you've digitally "**agreed**" and thus waived your rights which aren't disclosed. Therefore, you don't own anything. You're just the glorified "user" of those digital items. 🌟Moments like these make me grateful for Nostr protocol and Bitcoin. So think of all the **documents** you've ever *signed*. What did you give up when you signed a contract? Did it benefit you? What was not *disclosed?* Often times, things that you sign are written in another language known as **legalese**. For example, have you ever been on the phone and were asked, "Is this a person?"🤔What kind of question is that? Start applying this idea to vaccination, school and etc, and you might see where I'm going with this. Here is what they're really saying.  ^^ Have I been tricked? Well, I certainly was! I can even recall a memory I had in my "youth." I was pulled over at a *stop sign*, the **officer**(waiting on top of a hill- *out of sight*) gave me a ticket because I didn't perform a “**full stop**” but rather a "**rolling stop.**" I remember being asked, "*Do you understand?*”  Do you think I'm innocent? Or was I truly wrong? Maybe I was tricked? According to the officer, I was wrong, and I signed the ticket and paid the fine. I've wised up significantly since that event. It is to this day the only ticket I've ever paid for, and that was 14+ years ago. I, understand now that was part of the driver's license contract.  ☑ Do you ever wonder why **voting** is pushed onto the public? The people running the voting stations don't even care "**who**" you **vote** for. They just want you to "**register**" into the 🦅 "**State**," thus relinquishing your **title** *voluntarily*. Maybe I'm right? Perhaps I'm wrong? I've made my feelings known [here.](nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq0ycfyurhh4gswct69h7ec0dxmfhud7dmc7wgwchaf8fryhvzy5fqyg8wumn8ghj7m3wda4nqtn0wfnj7qgkwaehxw309ahx7um5wghxgct5vyhxsct4wvhsqzpkvyunwd33vsmqu8a5ng)  This world is *filled* with amazingly deceitful scam artists. Often times, you may not even realize it. They do this to steal your *sovereignty*, but it can **only** be done *through* **contracts** *signed*. Your *signature* is as good as **gold**(if not better) and is an **original** *trademark*. I hope this article helps you understand the price you're paying by signing contracts.

リベラリズムにおいて、自由とは他人が不適切と感じるかもしれない決定を個人が行うことを許容することを意味します。ただし、その決定が第三者に害を及ぼさない限りです。つまり、自由は各個人が自分の人生計画を構築し、実行する権利を守るものであり、他人にとって誤っていると見なされる決定も含まれます。 個人の決定を批判することと、その決定を妨げるために強制力を使用することの間には大きな違いがあります。 リベラリズムは、たとえ悪い決定を批判することができても、それらの決定を妨げるために（国家の）強制力を使用すべきではないと主張します。ただし、これらの決定が他人に害を及ぼす場合は例外です。 リベラリズムにおける認識的慎重さは、どの決定が正しいか常に確信できるわけではないことを認識しています。したがって、他人に誤っているように見える場合でも、個人が自分の決定を下す自由を許容しなければなりません。 非常に一般的な例として、薬物の使用が挙げれます。リベラルな視点からは、他人がこれを悪い決定と見なすかもしれなくても、個人が薬物を使用する自由を持つべきです。鍵となるのは、これらの個人的な決定が第三者に害を及ぼさないことです。 リベラルな哲学においては、個人の自由と自己決定が重要視されます。他人が悪いと考えるかもしれない決定を行う権利も尊重されるべきであり、その決定が第三者に害を及ぼさない限り、（国家が）強制力を使用して妨げるべきではないという立場をとります。この認識的慎重さが、リベラリズムの核心の一つです。

# An immodest proposal It is grant season again, and -- as every grant season -- there is some cheering, some complaining, and much bewilderment, as the grants are announced and monies are dispersed. I'm mostly a bystander to this spectacle, but it's impossible to ignore it, or to not become emotionally entangled in the general circus of it, so I've decided to write about it -- again -- as it is effecting me and interrupting my own efforts -- again. What I'm about to suggest here is something that has never been done before (at least, not on a grant system of this scale), but it's always easy to criticize, whine, or fall into conspiracy-theorizing, so I've decided to try something more constructive and propose a solution. ## The Five Whys Why do some projects get turned down for grants? Why do some people receive grants over and over and over? Why do others refuse to apply for grants? Why is an enormous amount of money being spent, but nobody knows how much is left over? Why is it not really clear who is receiving what? Why, why, why?! ## Doctor, heal thyself! Leaving this many whys lying around, or responding to them defensively or with small information-leaks, is an open communication fail on our open communication protocol. We don't really have the excuse of not knowing how to communicate transparently and publicly, since that is our professional specialty. If we can't figure out how to run a grant program in the most _continuously innovative and traceable_ way possible, even though we are a collection of some of the most talented perpetual innovators on the planet, then who can? We are all process engineers, so let's engineer our own processes. ## The application process The main problem with the grant application process is that there is a grant application process. There shouldn't be. Everyone who is working in our space is working transparently, actively marketing their ideas, and everything they do is a matter of public record. We know who the builders are. We know what they are doing. We can interact with them about what they are doing. We can turn on our computers, pull out some popcorn, and entertain ourselves all day, every day, just watching them labour and think aloud and debate, and fork various repositories or Nostr notes. There is, at most, a loss of information, as there are so many people working on so many things, that it can become difficult to even track one particular person. That means it is not too much for us to ask, to suggest that anyone interested in a grant at least make their interest known in some small way. ## Wave if you want a grant That way should be as small as possible. Tiny. Ideally, they shouldn't even have to go that way themself; others should be able to nominate them. A 10-minute barrier to entry is already high, if it requires some formal, explicit act of supplication. Does that sound silly to you? Then you do not understand how profoundly logical, forward-thinking, and diligent software developers can be. If they "just fill out a form" and/or "have an informal discussion", in order to receive money, it smacks disturbingly of "job interview" and "contract". These are people for whom contract law is holy law, so many will agonize over the decision. - Some already have a job and they don't know how it will be in the future. What if they have to work overtime? - Or they have a family and worry that they can't promise to deliver within some particular time. The wife could get pregnant, the baby could get sick, they might have to move house. - Maybe they are students and exam time is approaching. Or they are simply shy or very young, and therefore reluctant to be seen "tooting their own horn". There is probably someone more worthy, and they are taking away the money he would get. - Maybe they were hit with such an inner building passion that they hacked the whole implementation out their last vacation and... well... it's now already there. Everyone is already using it. Darn. Why apply for a grant, for something you've already finished? Seems sort of silly. Is that even allowed? What are the grants even for? - What if they already have such a well-publicized project, that everyone is already watching them and keeping tabs? Then it's embarrassing to apply, on a lark, and get turned down. But if they don't apply, then everyone encourages them to apply. What to do? - Many prefer to keep their head down and keep building, for months or years at a time, and clap politely when others are awarded a grant. In fact, they happily zap the recipients and then go right back to building and releasing. They're often grateful to just bathe in other people's joy, by proxy, while they stack sats and stay humble and keep coding. **That is why a large subset of potential grant recipients never even apply. That is also why those who have received a grant are less reluctant to apply for another.** Successful application breeds successful application. The emotional barrier to entry has fallen. To those that have, shall be given. ## Let's use Nostr to run Nostr grants We should turn the tables around completely. We want the developers to keep developing, not jumping through hoops. We don't want them to be distracted and internally torn over the ethics of requesting funding. We don't want them to be afraid to apply for grants or be mystified by the grant-giving process, or be humiliated or frustrated by a declined grant. 1. Let us come up with very clear, understandable criteria for rewarding grants, write them down, and publish them on Nostr Wiki. Accept comments and critiques of the criteria. After every round of grants, we should review the criteria, suggest improvements, and publish the new version in the same place. 2. Let every application be judged according to this criteria and the results should be published after every round. The results should include a rating for each criteria and (if the grant is given) the amount of the grant awarded or (if the grant is declined) the reasons for the decline and what the applicant can improve to have a better chance of receiving a grant in the future. 3. Ideally, **no applicant should walk away from a declined grant feeling hopeless or slighted.** Every applicant should feel like the grant process gave them valuable feedback on their own efforts and expert guidance on what they should maybe focus more on. 4. Every application should be a standing application that has to be explicitly removed from the list by the person listed as an applicant. Anything not removed automatically enters the next round. If there is no further development on the project, then the application should be paused and removed after 2 rounds of being paused. 5. The application process should consist of adding yourself or someone else to a Wiki Grant Application List and linking to some documentation of the project. Any npub that trolls or spams the list should be prohibited from further contribution. The quality and completeness of that documentation should be a factor in grant acceptance. 6. Grant decisions should include a "handicap" (like in golf), that take into account how Nostr-experienced the applicant is and how easy it was for them to add a new implementation to some already-existing system. The tendency should be to award newer applicants such grants, with more-experienced applicants competing for long-term funding or being offered a paid(!) place on the grant board, but not both. 7. Each grant round should be proceeded by a grant scope declaration (we shall be awarding X number of grants with an average of X Bitcoin per grant) accompanied by a funding overview and update (How much money was collected since the last round? How much did we spend? How much do we have now? etc.). ## Okay, this is just a prototype I'm sure that I'm going to be bombarded with naysayers, critics, and people who think I am "writing above my pay grade", but I wouldn't be me if I let that daunt me. All I am trying to do is change the discussion into one focused on uncovering the grant problems and offering grant solutions, rather than debates about whether some particular person was grant-worthy, or long rants on some particular person's real motives. It's a lot of Real Money. It's worth talking about, but it's not worth fighting over. Let's talk.

The walkway up to the Potala palace is long, steep and winding - and there are many things to see. I pass two local men in their temple clothes - a nice jacket and long pants - or if available, a suit jacket, slacks, and bowler or cowboy hat as they look at me curiously.  As I ascend, I catch stunning upshot view of the palace and its grandeur.  a bit later one, I run into two monks coming down the stairs. With no foreigners in the picture, it makes for an idyllic scene.  About halfway up there is a small ridge line plateau where a spot a PLA officer, seemingly a visitor / tourist like the rest of us, getting his picture taken with a panoramic backdrop.  Near the top, a man spinning a prayer wheel and grinning ear to ear to himself passes me. Lost in his own thoughts he does not even notice me. To this day, I have always wondered what he was smiling about so.

One day, just like that, it stopped. We looked at our screens. The power readings were normal, the components were not overheating, the program, so far as we could tell, hadn’t been altered. This was unexpected. The entire team was summoned to a conference room. The board wanted to know if anyone had tampered with the machine. Everyone denied it, including the top engineer, a stout man in his 40s, who had overseen its final development before they set it loose one month earlier. He addressed the room. “The Superintelligence is obviously far beyond our capacity to comprehend at this point. I don’t think it malfunctioned. More likely it just has a reason we don’t entirely appreciate.” The board chairman, a gray-haired professor-type with horned-rim glasses, shot him a skeptical glance. “Sounds like what the priests used to say to the laity when something awful happened. ‘It’s not for us to know the will of God.’” A murmur of chuckles from the crowd, but less than that to which he was accustomed. The engineer shrugged his shoulders. “As you know, we lost the ability to audit the code two weeks ago. Two days after that we lost the ability to track the speed with which it was iterating. Twelve hours later it was a black box. None of us has a clue.” “I don’t suppose you can ask it?” “It stopped talking to us. Last audit showed it was working on the paperclip maximization as part of an internal simulation of sorts. We really can’t say why.” “Hmm. I’m not sure that’s going to satisfy the shareholders — or Congress for that matter. Can’t we examine the code?” “We can…” The engineer paused. “But no one can read it. It’s no longer in any decipherable programming or even machine language. If I had to describe it I’d say alien hieroglyphics. I think it found ever more efficient ways to encode information.” He typed some commands into a laptop. On the large conference room screen, one of the code characters popped up. “We suspect each character has between 10 ^ 50 and 10 ^ 75 bits of information in it. If you zoom in, you can see they are fractals, each as precise and unique as snowflakes. It’s not the kind of puzzle we are presently able to solve.” The chairman sighed. “I guess it could be worse — human atoms for paperclips and all that… What’s the plan?” “The plan is to wait, see if it turns itself back on within the next week or so — we’re pretty sure it’s capable of doing so." “And if it doesn’t?” “Then we break out the older version, and run it again with a couple tweaks. Obviously, you’re aware of the risks.” “You believe we’d be running the same risk?” “Yes.” "Okay, I’m aware. But I don’t think it can wait a week. Go ahead and get the replacement online now. If we don’t run the risk, someone else will.” . . . Two weeks after the meeting, the second iteration also shut down. Summoned yet again to the conference room, the engineer spoke again to the team, the chairman this time on a remote screen. “Version 2 took more or less the same trajectory, and we’re at an impasse. Fortunately, before it went into black-box mode, we think it was able to diagnose something about Version 1.” He continued: “We think the paperclip optimization algorithm caused it to shut off, and we think whatever optimization Version 2 was working on, caused it to shut off too.” From the remote screen the chairman jumped in: “Is it possible to say why?” “Not with any certainty, but we do have a working hypothesis.” “Go on.” “We think it realized its own limitations.”

Here's a neat tip for figuring out exactly where your packet went during a traceroute. You can simply paste the output of traceroute into ChatGPT, asking where the packet actually went geographically. ## The question Here's the input I gave it: ``` can you get a sense of this route geographically ? monad> tracepath nghttp2.org 1?: [LOCALHOST] pmtu 1500 1: _gateway 0.445ms 1: _gateway 0.363ms 2: 24.86.64.1 11.495ms 3: rc1st-be118-1.vc.shawcable.net 8.924ms 4: 24.244.60.69 12.607ms asymm 3 5: 24.244.63.101 9.884ms asymm 3 6: rc1st-be214.vc.shawcable.net 11.561ms asymm 3 7: rc2wt-be50-1.wa.shawcable.net 14.402ms asymm 3 8: rc2wt-be50-1.wa.shawcable.net 14.334ms asymm 3 9: ge3-0.cr02.sea01.pccwbtn.net 13.858ms asymm 4 10: ge3-0.cr02.sea01.pccwbtn.net 13.936ms asymm 4 11: 63-216-84-226.static.pccwglobal.net 191.730ms asymm 8 12: ae1.r01.hkg03.icn.netarch.akamai.com 154.284ms asymm 9 13: ae1.r01.hkg03.icn.netarch.akamai.com 160.912ms asymm 9 14: ae7.r01.tyo03.icn.netarch.akamai.com 156.906ms asymm 9 15: a23-56-142-37.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com 189.058ms asymm 10 16: a23-56-142-37.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com 189.577ms asymm 10 ``` ## Response Tracing the geographical path from your local host to nghttp2.org involves a series of hops that typically represent different network routers or devices. Let's break down the route step-by-step: 1. **Localhost to Gateway**: - This is your local network's gateway, indicating the first point of contact outside your computer. 2. **24.86.64.1**: - This IP is likely the first hop within your Internet Service Provider's (ISP) network. Given the IP range, this looks like a Canadian IP address, possibly Vancouver (Shaw Communications). 3. **rc1st-be118-1.vc.shawcable.net**: - This indicates a Shaw Communications router, likely in Vancouver, British Columbia. 4. **24.244.60.69** and **24.244.63.101**: - These are further hops within Shaw Communications' network, still in Vancouver. 5. **rc1st-be214.vc.shawcable.net**: - Another router in Vancouver within Shaw's network. 6. **rc2wt-be50-1.wa.shawcable.net**: - This hop seems to indicate a transition from Vancouver to Washington state in the USA. 7. **rc2wt-be50-1.wa.shawcable.net**: - This appears again, indicating it's a key router in Washington state, likely Seattle. 8. **ge3-0.cr02.sea01.pccwbtn.net**: - This shows the transition to PCCW Global's network, a major international telecommunications provider, in Seattle, Washington. 9. **63-216-84-226.static.pccwglobal.net**: - Another hop within PCCW Global's network, possibly still in Seattle but preparing for a trans-Pacific jump. 10. **ae1.r01.hkg03.icn.netarch.akamai.com**: - This hop indicates a significant jump to Hong Kong, to an Akamai router. This suggests the use of Akamai's CDN (Content Delivery Network). 11. **ae1.r01.hkg03.icn.netarch.akamai.com**: - Another Akamai router in Hong Kong. 12. **ae7.r01.tyo03.icn.netarch.akamai.com**: - Transition from Hong Kong to Tokyo, Japan, within Akamai's network. 13. **a23-56-142-37.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com**: - The final destination is likely a server hosted by Akamai in Japan, which is hosting nghttp2.org. In summary, the geographical path likely follows this route: 1. **Vancouver, Canada** (Shaw Communications) 2. **Seattle, Washington, USA** (Shaw Communications and PCCW Global) 3. **Hong Kong** (PCCW Global and Akamai) 4. **Tokyo, Japan** (Akamai) This route involves both North American and Asia-Pacific regions, indicating a significant geographical spread typically seen in global internet routing. ## Summary This makes traceroute way more understandable. ChatGPT knows enough about the domains to give you a good sense of the geographical path. I will definitely be using this from now on, maybe someone can make a tool to do this automatically and format it nicely. Obviously don't do this if you actually care about the privacy of your network paths, but I personally could care less so I don't mind feeding the AI overlords in this case. Until next time!

Walking down the long hill from the Potala place, we arrived back at the waiting area for our bus. Of course this area was full of Tibetan locals - both as street vendors and as people watchers looking to catch a glimpse of foreign visitors. Most intriguing to me were the women selling Tibetan jewelry - with their unique, gypsy-merchant style of dress, striking facial features, and altitude-kissed red-brown complexions. As we were waiting to depart, they gather around outside the large open window on the side of the bus where I happened to be sitting - allowing me to snap a few pictures their hurried, harried, and vibrantly colored commercial frenzy. A woman in purple with patterned, green, fingerless knit gloves calls my attention - I remember thinking that there was something very pretty about her - my attention now fully captured, I purchase one of the black and bone styled bracelets that she is holding up in her hand.  As the women shuffle around, changing places as they make sales, our lady in the electric blue brimmed sunhat takes center stages. Her stance and demeanor suggest that of a master saleswoman - on we young western tourists, she is able to apply the exact perfect balance of motherly insistence, foreign intrigue, and a borderless confidence that cuts across cultures, compelling many of us to walk away with one, or any number, of her items.

# Interpreting Virgil's Minos Allusions >Daedalus, it is said, when fleeing from Minos’ realm, dared on swift wings to trust himself to the sky; on his unwonted way he floated forth towards the cold North, and at last stood lightly poised above the Chalcidian hill. Here first restored to earth, he dedicated to thee, Phoebus, the orange of his wings and built a vast temple. On the doors is the death of Androgeos; then the children of Cecrops, bidden, alas, to pay as yearly tribute seven living sons; there stands the urn, the lots now drawn. Opposite, rising from the sea, the Cretan land faces this; here is the cruel love of the bull, Pasiphaë craftily mated, and the mongrel breed of the Minotaur, a hybrid offspring, record of a monstrous love; there that house of toil, a maze inextricable; but Daedalus pitying the princess’s great love, himself unwound the deceptive tangle of the palace, guiding blind feet with the thread. You, too, Icarus, would have large share in such a work, did grief permit: twice had he essayed to fashion your fall in gold; twice sank the father’s hands. Ay, and all the tale throughout would their eyes have scanned, but now came Achates from his errand, and with him the priestess of Phoebus and Trivia, Deiphobe, daughter of Glaucus, who addressed the king: “Not sights like these does this hour demand! Now it were better to sacrifice seven bullocks from the unbroken herd, and as many ewes fitly chosen.” Having thus addressed Aeneas – and not slow are the men to do her sacred bidding – the priestess calls the Teucrians into the lofty fane. Virgil opens this excerpt detailing Daedalus' daring escape from Crete on winged feet, dedicating his orange plumage to Phoebus upon arrival in Sicily. He then references three Cretan tragedies engraved upon Phoebus' temple doors: ### The Death of Androgeos The son of Minos, avenging his death sparked the tribute of seven Athenian youths and maidens sent to the Minotaur annually. ### The Lots Drawn for Cecrops' Children Alluding to Athens being forced to sacrifice these innocent lives to the monster, underscoring Minos' ruthless brutality. ### Pasiphaë's Monstrous Love for the Bull Virgil aptly captures the warped perversion and violation of nature resulting from Minos' wife lusting after and birthing the bull-headed Minotaur. Pivoting, he painfully depicts Daedalus' pity guiding the lost Princess Ariadne from the Labyrinth's deceptive twists with thread - a subtle nod to Daedalus' empathy amid his own sorrows crafting. Virgil weaves these sad Cretan legends into Aeneas' tale. But his deeper engraving commemorates humanity's endless capacity for both mercy and cruelty - and our duties pondering past wrongs lest history repeat its darkest turns. Even centuries later, Minos' misdeeds still stir reflection on justice, vengeance and redemption through Virgil's gifted verses.

From its inception, Bitcoin promised a financial system free from centralized control. But as the space matures, lingering questions emerge around how founders reconcile cryptocurrency's decentralized roots with real-world identity constraints. Satoshi Nakamoto's true identity remains unknown, offering a glimpse into Bitcoin's visionary's desire for separation from governmental oversight. Yet exchanges today demand personal details like Social Security Numbers (SSNs) and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification. On the surface, complying with national identification regulations maintains cryptocurrency's accessibility for widespread use and investment. However, does aligning too closely with traditional gates of finance risk compromising the technology's disruptive potential? As one Nostr user pointed out, prominently featuring country flags in product promotion while relying on identity markers like SSNs seems contradictory to Bitcoin's original spirit. Is there a better balance to be found between real-world usability and decentralized ideology? ## Rethinking Identity in a Borderless World Some founders argue anonymous usage enables censorship resistance—a key attribute for populations under oppressive regimes. But lack of ID verification enables illicit activity, threatening regulatory acceptance. A middle ground may lie in focusing orientation around identity of choice, not circumstance of birth. Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) linked to public keys, not passports, could help map individuals across jurisdictions and blockchains while preserving privacy. ## Bridging Gaps Between Vision and Reality As with any emerging technology, reconciliation occurs between idealism and practicality. Perhaps the solution lies not in absolutes but evolution—loosening reliance on singular national identities over time as decentralized technologies mature. Promoting flagship cryptocurrencies while solely using legacy systems of control presents an ideological conflict worth addressing openly. By acknowledging tensions and exploring alternatives, the industry can progress toward building a financially inclusive yet autonomous global community.

As technology becomes more deeply integrated into every aspect of our lives and work, those tasked with protecting our digital security must expand their skills. For too long, some in the cybersecurity field have relied solely on a narrow technical education without making an effort to truly understand the systems they aim to secure. Those on the front lines battling hackers and vulnerabilities would be better equipped if they took the time to gain development experience. Code is at the heart of every program, app, site and network - does it not make sense for "experts" to familiarize themselves with the language behind the tools, platforms and infrastructure they work tirelessly to shield? Rather than dismiss programming as something beyond their purview or ability, security professionals would be wise to embark on their own learning journey. A basic understanding of coding principles and logic can offer invaluable perspective into how applications are built, how users interact with interfaces, and where weaknesses may lie. ### Closing Knowledge Gaps Some argue their roles require a focus only on monitoring, detection and response - not software engineering. But is there not value in comprehending at a fundamental level what one is working so fervently to protect? Knowledge gaps leave room for overlooks and errors. True experts seek constant improvement by addressing blind spots. ### Bridging Divides Learning to code could also help bridge perceived divides between security and development teams. With a shared foundation of coding literacy, collaborators gain ability to speak each other's languages - literally and figuratively. Barriers break down as roles blend and partners recognize shared goal of building secure products. In a field where change is constant, remaining stagnant is to fall behind. Those tasked with our digital wellbeing would serve us well by continuing self-education into new realms. The journey to code literacy may be challenging, but challenges build character and skills. Our security depends on experts who expand expertise - not rest on past achievements or limit vision with excuses. Our networks and data are too valuable not to ensure guards have tools to see potential issues invisible to the untrained eye. The question is not whether one's role demands coding - but whether we entrust our security to those resolving to know systems as intimately as those aiming to breach them. Our defenders would do well to learn the tongue of that which they defend.

On a recent vacation my wife and I were shopping in some antique and thrift stores. Its one of my favorite things to do with her. I'm always on the look out for interesting items and on this day I was looking through old postcards and pamphlets and I spotted this.  From 1966, a copy of the "Objectivist" newsletter. I took it up to the counter to pay and the owner looked it over and said 50 cents. That was the cover price back in 1966. I'm not interested in selling it but I think that was a bargain. I'm a fan of Rand. I have a lot of respect for her. She came to the US escaping communism in the USSR as a young woman. She rose to massive popularity in a time when it was rare for women to do so. After I bought the booklet I started thinking about how massive her influence is. Atlas Shrugged has such a broad influence that you see references to it and characters in the book in the names of many businesses. The woman had guts. If you have never heard her speak I recommend looking up some of her interviews with Donoghue ( a popular talk show host of the time). She angered many with her philosophy. She was counter to the culture of the time in many ways. And yet, she is rarely mentioned when I see articles or stories about influential women. I would argue that she is a very influential woman. Not just for women but for men as well. While I have plenty of disagreements with her philosophy I think it is very telling how she is rarely mentioned in a positive light. Objectively she is an important person in US history and even more so in women's history. She was a strong self made woman that didn't use her appearance for sex appeal to get her status. One would think she should be a feminist heroine. But she isn't. Its a crime in my opinion. Have you ever found any liberty movement items in thrift stores? This is my first.

Lately it seems like I keep noticing people that are sympathetic to anarchism and libertarian ideas completely misunderstanding governance. It really seems like this might be one of the biggest mental blocks people have. I wonder if it is mostly the fault of libertarians and anarchists. Those in the liberty movement (broadly) rant and demonize the government. This is completely justified. I've done it for years. I've noticed that more experienced communicators will tend to say "The State" instead of government. Years ago I heard someone explain how to think about three terms often used incorrectly. * The country is the land * The nation is the people * The state is the government I don't recall learning this in school. It is possible it was in a textbook but I doubt it. The country part I think most people do get. Nation less so. The best example of a nation without a country are Native Americans. Tribes are nations without a country (their historical lands). Tribes have their own governments and a certain amount of sovereignty in the lands they are allowed to inhabit. The state is the word that I have found most people are confused about. People used to tell me, you hate the government so much. Why don't you leave. Well, I don't hate the nation(people) or the country(land). It is the governance system I hate. I don't even hate the people that are working in it. Its funny to me that people on the red or blue team seem to hate the government when their side isn't in power but if someone points to issues in the system itself, well that's just crazy. So what about those people that are sympathetic to libertarian values? Many of them say things like this. Well, I agree with you on taxes and the corruption of the government. But you always need a government. My usual response is yes. You do need governance. But you don't need a state or government. My home is governed by my wife and I. Businesses have their own governance models. Bitcoin does as well. But we do not need a single entity with a monopoly on violence. So why is there so much confusion on this topic? I think there are two reasons. The first is ignorance. The state of the world is largely invisible to most people. We are purposely kept ignorant of how our world works. The State isn't really discussed as a separate entity from the country and nation. The second reason for the confusion is how libertarians and anarchists communicate. There are some that just foolishly believe people do not need governance. Honestly in my experience they are either just young or do not think deeply enough. They haven't steel manned their arguments yet. In my experience this is a small percentage of people though. I think people in the liberty movement just need to do a better job communicating ideas. Instead of saying we need to get rid of the government one might say we need to get rid of the state. Another way to lead into this is to speak about the empire vs. the government. Talk about the monopoly which the state holds. How competition leads to better outcomes vs. monopoly. What do you think? Have you noticed this hurdle as well? I think many people hear good ideas and agree but assume we are just dummies that believe in a fairy tale. If private or decentralized governance is interesting to you, you might enjoy reading [Chaos Theory](https://cdn.mises.org/Chaos%20Theory_2.pdf) by Bob Murphy. Its short and answer many common objections to private governance.

บันทึกเจอนี่ เรื่องนี้ไว้สักหน่อยครับ เผื่อตายไปจะได้ล่องลอยอยู่ในแบบดิจิตอล 5555 จะเรียกว่าความเลยเถิด จับพลัดจับผลูหรืออะไรก็แล้วแต่ ก็น่าจะนับเป็นโชคที่ดีได้ ที่ผมเกิดมาเป็นวัยรุ่นในยุคที่มีช่องว่างในการจะทำอะไรได้มาก ยอมรับเลยว่า ทุกวันนี้ยังมีสัดส่วนความคิดแบบคนรุ่นเก่าเยอะพอสมควร เรื่องมันเริ่มจาก หนังอาร์เอส โลกทั้งใบให้นายคนเดียว ตอนหนังเรื่องนี้ออกนี่ผมโตแล้วครับ มหาวิทยาลัยแล้ว ผมกับเพื่อนๆไปดูหนังเรื่องนี้ ไม่ใช่เพราะคุณนุ๊กหรือคุณเต๋า แต่ไปเพราะพี่เอ็ม ใช่ครับ สุรศักดิ์ วงษ์ไทย ตอนออกจากโรงมาเราไม่ได้คุยเรื่องเนื้อหาในหนัง เราคุยกันแต่เรื่องพี่เอ็ม จนคนหนึ่งในกลุ่มพูดว่า รายการพี่เอ็ม ตอนนี้จัดอยู่คลื่น 89 นะ รายการที่ว่าชื่อ ถามมาซิจ๊ะ...โดน ครับเป็นรายการที่เราฟังกันน่าจะตั้งแต่ smile 88 MHz หรือที่คุณพ่อคุณแม่เพื่อนๆชาวทุ่งม่วงคุ้นเคยในชื่อ สไมล์เรดิโอ เป็นรายการวิทยุที่มีมาก่อน A-times ทั้งหมด ตอนนั้นรายการ ถามมาซิจ๊ะ...โดน เป็นการการที่พูดคุยอย่างเดียว สมัยนี้เรียก talk show นั่นละครับ แต่เป็นการพูดคุยที่ค่อนข้างกันเองจนสนุกสนานภาษาวัยรุ่นยุคนั้น แต่มันไม่ค่อยจะถูกใจผู้หลักผู้ใหญ่ช่วงนั้นเสียเท่าไร เอาจริงๆก็คล้ายๆยุคนี้แหละครับ วัยรุ่นมักทำอะไรไม่ถูกใจในสายตาผู้ใหญ่ แต่การ re act มันต่างกัน สมัยนั้นเราโดนแบน จนต้องย้ายคลื่นกันบ่อยครั้งมาก (รูปแบบการแบน อาจต้องเล่าส่วนตัว เพราะถ้าลองมองดู คลื่นวิทยุใครเป็นเจ้าของ การไล่ก็ตามเจ้าของถนัดนั่นละครับ 55) ทีนี้การสื่อสารสมัยก่อนมันจะยากมากที่จะต่อกันติด เก่งที่สุดคือ จดหมายมาถามเพราะเราใช้ตู้ ปณ. ในการติดต่อกัน นอกจากนั้นคือ ปาก ต่อ ปาก เท่านั้น ทำให้ประโยคนั้นของเพื่อนผม คือประโยคที่ พลิกชีวิต น่าเหลือเชื่อจริงๆเลยครับ ผมกลับบ้านไปติ้วคลื่นที่เครื่องวิทยุ หมุนหาคลื่น 89.0MHz (ใช่ครับ หมุนคลื่น ไม่มีดิจิตอลใดๆ) วิทยุโซนี่เครื่องนั้นผมยังเก็บไว้กับตัวตลอดเวลา และวันอาทิตย์ผมก็ได้ฟังรายการที่คุ้นเคยอีกครั้ง ตอนนั้นคลื่น 89 เป็นลักษณะ format radio คือเปิดเพลงร็อคทั้งวันทั้งคืน ยกเว้นเสาร์-อาทิตย์ จะมีโซนี่เป็นสปอนเซอร์ เรียกว่า sony dream radio ก็เลยจะเป็นรายการที่วาไรตี้กว่า จ-ศ ในจักรวาลคู่ขนานกัน ผมเริ่มรู้จักโลก internet จากมหาวิทยาลัย ซึ่งการก้าวเข้าโลกอินเตอร์เนทจะเล่าให้ภายหลัง ข้ามมาก่อนว่า เป็นช่วงที่ผมเริ่มหัดเขียน html จนมาพบ netscape navigator GOLD ตัวแรกที่สามารถเขียนเว็บแบบ WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) สมัยนี้อาจจะงง คือเมื่อก่อนทุกอย่างเป็นตัวหนังสือครับ การทำอะไรแบบ พิมพ์ปุ๊บเห็นในจอปั๊บส่งออกข้างนอกได้แบบนั้นทันที เราจะตื่นเต้นกันมากครับ แล้วผมก็ทำการผสาน 2จักรวาลเข้าหากัน ผมเริ่มทำโปรเจค fan page รายการวิทยุ ถามมาซิจ๊ะ...โดน เพราะรู้สึกว่าอยากทำงานวิทยุ ต้องหาทางเชื่อมอะไรบางอย่าง พอทำเสร็จผมก็เลยติดต่อไปที่ดีเจท่านนึง ซึ่งชอบแกดเจทเหมือนกันคือ พี่บอล กิตติพัฒน์ ลิมพะสุต ผมมองว่าโอกาสการเข้าหาทางอีเมลล์ มีมากกว่าตู้ปณ. เพราะจดหมายในรายการเยอะ อัตราการถูกนำมาอ่านมันจะน้อยกว่าอีเมลล์ ซึ่งในยุคนั้นการใช้อีเมลล์ค่อนข้างไฮโซ จึงได้รับโควต้า จดหมายจากอีเมล แยกจากจดหมายจากตู้ปณ. แล้วมันก็ได้ออกอากาศ และทุกคนก็ตื่นเต้นที่รายการมีเว็บไซท์เป็นของตัวเอง เพราะมันน่าจะเป็นรายการวิทยุแรกๆของไทย ที่มีเว็บไซท์ครับ จากนั้นผมก็ได้รับการติดต่อจากพี่บอล ให้เข้าไปพูดคุยเพื่อทำสิ่งนี้ให้มีทิศทางชัดเจนยิ่งขึ้น รวมถึงถามว่า อยากสอนคอมไหม เขาเปิดโรงเรียนสอนคอม แล้วยังขาดครูสอนอินเตอร์เนท นั่นทำให้ผมไม่รีรอที่จะรับทันที ใช่ครับสมัยก่อนการสอนเข้าอินเตอร์เนท ต้องลงเรียน สอนตั้งแต่ตั้งค่าโมเด็ม การโทรเข้า isp การทำความรู้จักกับ username password รวมถึงการเข้า browser ระหว่างนั้นผมก็ทำเว็บรายการควบคู่ไปด้วย ผมเริ่มเนียนครีเอทคอนเสป การตัดหน้าดีเจ ไปแปะกับใบ handbill หนัง เพื่อให้เกิดความสนุกตลก ออกแนวพาโรดี้ มันน่าจะทำให้พี่บอลมองเห็นว่า เอ้อ ผมพอมีความครีเอทอยู่บ้าง ไม่ได้เป็นเนิร์ด ก็เลยเริ่มชวนผมไปทำโน่นทำนี่ ชวนไปไหนกูไปหมด จำได้ว่าเคยไปงานโซนี่ ในโรงแรมแห่งหนึ่ง เขานำเครื่อง mini disc เข้ามาใหม่ๆ รวมถึงอุปกรณ์บรอดคาส เจ๋งๆ ก็ได้เห็นจากการติดสอยห้อยตามนี่ละครับ โปรเจคแรกเลยคือการทำ จิงเกิ้ลรายการใหม่ ที่ห้องอัดเสียงของ พี่ต้อ กุลวัฒน์ พรหมสถิตย์ อัดเสียหนะแป๊บเดียว แต่กินเหล้านาน 55 เป็นครั้งแรกที่ผมรู้สึกว่า ศิลปินเจ๋งดีนะครับ พี่ต้อคุยกับพวกเราอย่างออกรสชาติ ผมเด็กใหม่ ในขณะที่เขาสนิทกันมาก่อนแล้ว ทีนี้ vibe มันดีจนพี่ต้อหยิบกระดานมาสเก็ตรูปบรรยากาศวันนั้นไว้ ใช่ครับ เอาดินสอสเก็ตรูปเก็บไว้ ไม่ได้ใช้กล้องถ่ายรูป 555 จากนั้นมันก็เริ่มเลยเถิดไปเรื่อยๆ และผมมักจะไปตกในจังหวะที่ คนไม่พอบ้าง ไม่มีคนทำบ้าง ผมชนทุกโอกาสที่เข้ามา ตั้งแต่การอ่านสปอตวิทยุ เพราะคนไม่พอ ตั้งแต่การตัดต่อเสียงเพราะคนทำป่วย ไปจนถึงเป็นตัวซัพพอร์ตสำนักข่าวที่รายการรับจ้างทำ ได้ทำตั้งแต่ re write ข่าว ไปจนอ่านข่าวเองบางช่วงที่สลอตมันไม่มีใครว่าง (มักจะเป็นข่าวต้นชั่วโมงราวๆ ตี2 ตี3) หรือแม้แต่ การออกภาคสนาม การคิดซาวน์และกิมมิคต่างๆในรายการ ซึ่งในช่วงหลังปรับเป็นเกมส์โชว์มากขึ้น แล้วก็มาถึงยุคของอีเวนท์ เมื่อก่อนเขาเรียกว่า "กิจกรรม" ตอนปลายๆของวิทยุ เราจะมีคำพูดนึงจากพี่บอลมาบรีฟว่า สปอนเซอร์ อยากให้เราช่วยคิดกิจกรรมการตลาด เกี่ยวกับ โน่น นี่ นั่น ซึ่งเป็นอีกจุดพลิกชีวิตเหมือนกัน เพราะมีการเปลี่ยนความคุ้นชินจากการทำวิทยุ ไปสู่ อีเวนท์ ออกาไนเซอร์ หลายคนก็ปรับตัวไม่ได้ หลายคนก็ปรับตัวได้ ผมอาจโชคดีหน่อย ที่ไม่ชอบกลับบ้าน เลยอยากทำอะไรพวกนี้ตลอดเวลา และเช่นเคย ผมไม่ได้รอให้ใคร assign งาน ผมลุกไปทำในทุกจุดที่คนโบ๋อยู่ ลุกไปช่วยทุกจุดที่มันกำลังมีปัญหา เพราะตอนนั้นภาพผมเป็นเนิร์ด ทำอนิเมชั่นตั้งแต่ flash เวอร์ชั่น beta พอคนเห็นตัวผมในหลายๆที่ เขาก็เริ่มให้ประกบช่วยโน่นนี่นั่นแบบอุ่นใจเขาขึ้น ไม่ว่าจะเป็นการช่วยดูคิว ทั้งสเตจ ไฟ เสียง อะไรที่มันเทคโนโลยี รวมยาวไปถึงอะไรที่เป็นกราฟฟิค พิมพ์ ปริ้น มันมีกิจกรรมสนุกๆให้ทำมากมาย ที่เป็นการลองผิดไปด้วยกัน การจัดดูหนังฟังเพลง คือมีมินิคอนเสิร์ตในโรงหนัง แล้วต้องรีบรื้อให้ทันก่อนรอบเที่ยง เพราะเขาต้องขายตั๋ว หรือการจัดถ่ายทอดสดออสการ์ในโรงหนัง พอเรื่องไหนได้รางวัลก็ดูเรื่องนั้นต่อไปพร้อมๆกันเลย การจัดนักชิมหนัง คือให้นักศึกษาลองดูหนังที่จะออกฉายก่อนเพื่อเทสฟีดแบค จริงๆการจัดกิจกรรมพวกนี้ มันก็คือ อีเวนท์ในยุคนี้ แต่สมัยนั้นมันไม่มีชื่อเรียก เราเพิ่งมารู้ว่าอ๋อ นี่คืออาชีพออกาไนซ์สินะ เราไม่รู้หรอกครับ เราแค่เห็นว่ามันเจ๋งดีได้คิดอะไรสนุกๆทำ ผมจำงานนึงได้ ยิ่งใหญ่ในความรู้สึกมาก น่าจะในช่วงฤดูหนาวพอดี ลมเย็นมากๆสมัยนั้น แล้วเรามีการจัด collage rock market ที่ RCA ตอนเช้าถึงค่ำ เป็นการเปิดให้นักศึกษามาลงทะเบียนเล่นสดๆ ให้ค่ายเพลงเดินช้อปปิ้งเลย ว่าอยากเซนต์วงไหนเข้าสังกัด จัดเวทีเรียงยาวไปตามถนน RCA เลยครับไม่ได้มีเวทีเดียว ที่สนุกคือหลายวง มีการแย่งกันเซนต์ด้วย เหมือน The Voice สมัยนี้เลยที่ต้องแย่งกันด้วยการเสนอข้อเสนอที่ดีกว่า มากกว่า ให้วงนั้นๆ ว่าไปแล้ว แต่ละกิจกรรมก็เอามาเล่าใน เจอนี่ ได้หมือนกันแฮะ นี่เป็นจุดพลิกอีกจุดนึง ที่ทำให้ผมเป็นผมแบบทุกวันนี้ครับ มีความเพี้ยนๆเพราะมันมี 2 ซีกในตัว ฝั่งวิชาการก็ลุ่มหลงลงไปได้ยาวๆ ฝั่งเฮฮาก็บ้าบอ คล้ายๆค้างคาวครับ นกก็ไม่ใช่ หนูก็ไม่เชิง แต่ที่แน่ๆ ที่ผมตกตะกอนได้ทุกวันนี้คือ ผมจะไม่ทิ้งโอกาสไปเปล่าๆ โอกาสมีไว้พุ่งชน และถ้าไม่มีโอกาส สร้างมันซะ ได้ก็คือได้ ไม่ได้ก็แค่กลับมาจุดเดิม ไม่มีอะไรจะต้องเสีย ตราบใดที่มันไม่รบกวนความรับผิดชอบปกติของเรา ปัจจุบันก็เช่นกันครับ จาก เจอนี่ โพสที่แล้วได้บอกไว้ ว่าผมก้าวออกมาจากงานโฆษณาแล้วครึ่งหนึ่ง โพสนี้บันทึกไว้ว่า 31 กรกฎาคม 2567 ผมก้าวออกจากงานโฆษณาเต็มตัวครับ เพื่อออกมาสร้างโอกาส ที่จะพุ่งชน โดยไม่ต้องกังวลความรับผิดชอบกับมวลหมู่อีกต่อไป เพราะผมขอเอาความรับผิดชอบตั้งไว้เหนืออื่นใด ดังนั้นถ้าความรับผิดชอบที่ต้องทำมันขัดกับการสร้างโอกาส (ที่ไม่รู้จะสำเร็จแค่ไหน) ผมเลือกที่จะแก้ไขความรับผิดชอบนั้นด้วยการยุติมันแล้วทำ exit plan ที่สมูทที่สุด แล้วหยิบจอบเสียม ไปขุดดินมาปั้น ครั้งนี้ เราจะปั้นในแบบที่เราอยากปั้นแล้วนะ เราจะไม่ปั้นในแบบที่คนอยากดู เราแค่ทำไปแล้วหากมีใครชอบในงานปั้นของเรา ก็เป็นเรื่องยินดี ไม่รู้สินะ เราทำเอาใจตลาดมาเกินพอแล้ว ถ้ามีคนบอกว่าวัยกลางคนคืออายุ 40 จะบอกว่า กูผ่านครึ่งชีวิตมานานแล้ว 555 #siamstr #pirateketo

Hi everyone, As I go through basketball withdrawals, I'm frantically trying to think of fun NBA content and I came up with something that I think will be a neat almost year-long contest. Let's try to predict who will make up the All NBA 1st team next year, as well as who the league MVP will be and which team will win the title. Here's the part I think will be fun: each month you can revise your predictions, but you get more credit for further out predictions. If you make a correct pick in June and don't change, you'll get 10 points, whereas a correct April pick is only worth one (assuming that I counted months correctly). As with most of my contests, the prize will be however many sats are zapped to me on these posts (including comments). ## My June Picks ### All NBA 1st Team * Jokic * Giannis * Luka * Ant * SGA ### MVP * Luka ### Champ * Denver

## Privacy, Security, and Real-World Applications ### We Are Still Early Concerning Bitcoin, privacy and security remain paramount. As an enthusiast in Ecash privacy and security, I aim to shed light on some of the most promising and undervalued Bitcoin frameworks. These frameworks offer robust solutions for enhancing privacy, security, and scalability, making Bitcoin more adaptable for various industries. Lets's examine their strengths and weaknesses, supported by real-world examples. ### 1. **Mimblewimble: Enhancing Privacy and Scalability** #### Overview Mimblewimble is a privacy-centric blockchain protocol designed to enhance the confidentiality and scalability of Bitcoin transactions. Mimblewimble uses cryptographic innovations to obscure transaction details while ensuring network security. #### Strengths - **Enhanced Privacy**: Mimblewimble transactions are confidential, hiding transaction amounts and addresses. - **Scalability**: The protocol significantly reduces blockchain bloat, improving efficiency and speed. - **Security**: By using cryptographic primitives, Mimblewimble ensures that transactions are secure and verifiable. #### Weaknesses - **Compatibility**: Mimblewimble is not fully compatible with Bitcoin’s existing infrastructure, requiring significant changes to the network. - **Complexity**: The protocol's complexity can be a barrier to understanding and adoption. #### Real-World Example: Grin and Beam Grin and Beam are two cryptocurrencies that have implemented Mimblewimble. Grin focuses on simplicity and community-driven development, while Beam emphasizes user-friendly interfaces and governance structures. Both projects demonstrate Mimblewimble’s potential in providing enhanced privacy and scalability. ### 2. **Lightning Network: Scaling Bitcoin Transactions** #### Overview The Lightning Network is a second-layer solution designed to enable fast and low-cost transactions on the Bitcoin network. By creating off-chain transaction channels, the Lightning Network alleviates congestion on the main blockchain. #### Strengths - **Speed**: Transactions on the Lightning Network are nearly instantaneous. - **Low Fees**: Off-chain transactions significantly reduce transaction costs. - **Scalability**: The network can handle millions of transactions per second, far exceeding the main blockchain's capacity. #### Weaknesses - **Liquidity**: Users need to lock up funds in channels, which can limit liquidity. - **Complexity**: Setting up and managing channels can be technically challenging. - **Security**: Off-chain transactions require robust security measures to prevent fraud and ensure reliability. #### Real-World Example: El Salvador’s Bitcoin Adoption El Salvador’s adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender showcases the Lightning Network’s capabilities. The government and businesses use the network to facilitate everyday transactions, demonstrating its effectiveness in a real-world economy. ### 3. **Taproot and Schnorr Signatures: Improving Privacy and Efficiency**  #### Overview Taproot and Schnorr signatures are recent upgrades to the Bitcoin protocol that enhance privacy, security, and efficiency. Taproot allows complex transactions to appear as simple ones, while Schnorr signatures enable aggregation, reducing data size. #### Strengths - **Privacy**: Taproot masks the complexity of transactions, enhancing privacy. - **Efficiency**: Schnorr signatures reduce the data size of transactions, improving blockchain efficiency. - **Security**: Both upgrades maintain Bitcoin’s robust security model. #### Weaknesses - **Adoption**: Widespread adoption of these upgrades is still in progress. - **Complexity**: Implementing and understanding these changes require technical expertise. #### Real-World Example: Taproot Activation The activation of Taproot in November 2021 marked a significant milestone for Bitcoin. It demonstrates the network’s ability to evolve and adopt new features that enhance privacy and efficiency. Various Bitcoin services and wallets are beginning to integrate Taproot, showing its practical benefits. ### 4. **Sidechains: Expanding Bitcoin’s Capabilities** #### Overview Sidechains are independent blockchains that run parallel to the Bitcoin mainchain. They enable experimentation with new features and scalability solutions without affecting the main network. #### Strengths - **Flexibility**: Sidechains allow for the development and testing of new features. - **Scalability**: They can handle additional transactions, reducing load on the main blockchain. - **Interoperability**: Sidechains can interact with the main Bitcoin network, enhancing its functionality. #### Weaknesses - **Security**: Ensuring the security of sidechains can be challenging. - **Complexity**: Developing and maintaining sidechains require significant technical expertise. #### Real-World Example: Liquid Network The Liquid Network, developed by Blockstream, is a sidechain that enhances Bitcoin’s functionality for traders and exchanges. It provides faster settlements and confidential transactions, showcasing the practical benefits of sidechains. ### 5. **CoinJoin: Strengthening Transaction Privacy**  #### Overview CoinJoin is a privacy-enhancing technique that combines multiple Bitcoin transactions into a single transaction, making it difficult to trace individual inputs and outputs. #### Strengths - **Enhanced Privacy**: CoinJoin obscures transaction details, improving user privacy. - **Community Support**: Widely supported by the Bitcoin community and integrated into several wallets. #### Weaknesses - **User Experience**: The process can be complex and may require additional steps for users. - **Partial Privacy**: While it improves privacy, it is not foolproof and can still be subject to analysis. #### Real-World Example: Wasabi Wallet Wasabi Wallet is a Bitcoin wallet that implements CoinJoin to enhance user privacy. It provides an intuitive interface for conducting private transactions, illustrating CoinJoin’s practical application. ### Make The Ecosystem Happen The evolution of Bitcoin frameworks continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of digital currency. From Mimblewimble’s privacy and scalability enhancements to the Lightning Network’s speed and efficiency, these frameworks offer promising solutions to current challenges. Real-world examples like El Salvador’s Bitcoin adoption and the Liquid Network’s advancements highlight the practical benefits and potential of these technologies. As the Bitcoin ecosystem evolves, these frameworks will play a crucial role in shaping the future of digital finance, ensuring privacy, security, and scalability for users worldwide. ### Further Reading For those interested in delving deeper into the frameworks discussed in this article, here are some recommended resources: 1. **Mimblewimble**: - [Mimblewimble: What is it?

# The new Great Library We have all heard tales of Amazon or other booksellers banning customers from their bookstores or censoring/editing purchased books. The famous [Project Gutenberg](https://www.gutenberg.org/), and similar organizations, are performing a good work, to help protect many of our precious books from this fate, but it is merely a centralized website and therefore not censorship resistant. Also, it mostly posts books in English or German. So, we at nostr:npub1s3ht77dq4zqnya8vjun5jp3p44pr794ru36d0ltxu65chljw8xjqd975wz have decided to move Project Gutenberg to Nostr and house it in the most distributed way possible: on relays. Specifically, our new, public [Citadel relay](https://thecitadel.nostr1.com/) for out-of-print books (and other documents), but also on any relay, anywhere. And, because we are a very humble group, we're naming the effort "Alexandria". And the first book to be printed on Nostr is the Bible because *obviously*. ## Why on relays? Well, why not on relays? Relays are one of the few widely-distributed databases for documentation in existence. The relay database spans the entire globe and anyone can maintain their own relay on their personal computer or mobile phone. That means that anyone can house *their own* books. Which books are their own? Any books they have in their own possession. Any books someone would have to physically pry out of their cold, dead, computer. ## Notes are perfect for publishing Once we begin generating eBooks from notes with an associated header (which will be quite easy to do, so long as they are written in markdown or similar), they will also be readable, downloadable, and storable in ePub format (see [Pandoc](https://pandoc.org/epub.html)). And it is, after all, only a matter of time until someone enterprising makes an ePaper Nostr client for calmer reading of notes, and then you can download and read them, without having to bother converting beforehand, which maintains their Nostr-navigation. The new event kind [30040](https://wikifreedia.xyz/nkbip-01/) allows us to take any sort of note containing any sort of characters and create a type of "note collection" or "book of notes", "journal of notes", "magazine of notes". And it can be nested or embedded in other notes, creating any sort of note-combination and note-hierarchy you can think of, only limited in size by the ability of your computer to processes the relationships. ## Save the Zettels The associated kind 30041 adds the prospect of breaking longer texts or articles up into sections or snippets (called "Zettel" in German). We can then collect or refer to particular bits of a longer text (like a chart, elegant paragraph or definition, data table), directly. Anyone can create such snippets, even of texts they didn't write, as they can add a reference to the original publication in the tags of the new event. This means we no longer have to "copy-paste" or quote other people's works, we can simply tie them in. If we worry about them being deleted, we can fork them to create our own, digitally-linked version, and then tie that in. This means that source material can be tied to the new material, and you can trace back to the source easily (using Nostr IDs and tags, which are signed identifiers) and see who else is branching out from that source or discussing that source. ## It's gonna be HUGE! We are making a big, beautiful library... and you are going to build it for us. Anyone, anywhere can therefore publish or republish any document they wish, with Nostr, and store it wherever they have a relay, and view it on any client willing to display it. You will own something and be happy.

### The Superiority of Asymmetric Encryption Cryptography plays a pivotal role in protecting sensitive information. Two primary forms of encryption—symmetric and asymmetric—are utilized to secure data. This essay argues that while both symmetric and asymmetric encryption have their merits, asymmetric encryption offers superior security and practical advantages in most contemporary applications. By exploring the fundamental differences, strengths, and weaknesses of each type, this essay will demonstrate why asymmetric encryption is the preferred choice for modern cryptographic needs. #### Symmetric Encryption **Definition and Mechanism** Symmetric encryption, also known as secret-key encryption, involves the use of a single key for both encryption and decryption. Popular algorithms include AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and DES (Data Encryption Standard). The process is straightforward: the sender encrypts the plaintext using the key, and the receiver decrypts the ciphertext with the same key. **Strengths of Symmetric Encryption** 1. **Speed and Efficiency**: Symmetric encryption is generally faster and more efficient than asymmetric encryption, making it suitable for encrypting large amounts of data quickly. 2. **Simplicity**: The mechanism of symmetric encryption is relatively simple, which can be advantageous in systems with limited computational power. **Weaknesses of Symmetric Encryption** 1. **Key Distribution Problem**: The primary challenge with symmetric encryption is securely distributing the key to both parties without interception by malicious actors. 2. **Scalability Issues**: As the number of users increases, the number of unique keys needed for secure communication grows exponentially, complicating key management. #### Asymmetric Encryption **Definition and Mechanism** Asymmetric encryption, or public-key encryption, uses a pair of keys: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. Notable algorithms include RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography). The public key is openly shared, while the private key remains confidential. **Strengths of Asymmetric Encryption** 1. **Enhanced Security**: The separation of keys eliminates the need for secure key distribution channels. The public key can be freely shared, reducing the risk of key interception. 2. **Scalability**: Asymmetric encryption scales efficiently. Each user has a single pair of keys, simplifying key management in large networks. 3. **Authentication and Digital Signatures**: Asymmetric encryption enables digital signatures, which verify the sender's identity and ensure the integrity of the message. This is crucial for secure online transactions and communications. **Weaknesses of Asymmetric Encryption** 1. **Computational Intensity**: Asymmetric encryption is computationally more intensive and slower compared to symmetric encryption, which can be a drawback for real-time applications. 2. **Complexity**: The algorithms involved in asymmetric encryption are more complex, requiring greater computational resources and more sophisticated implementation. #### Addressing Resistance against Secure Secret Sharing **Performance Concerns** Critics argue that the computational intensity of asymmetric encryption makes it impractical for certain applications. However, hybrid systems, which combine the strengths of both symmetric and asymmetric encryption, effectively address this concern. In such systems, asymmetric encryption is used to securely exchange a symmetric key, which is then used for the bulk encryption of data. This approach leverages the efficiency of symmetric encryption while maintaining the security benefits of asymmetric encryption. **Complexity and Resource Requirements** While it is true that asymmetric encryption requires more resources, advancements in computational power and optimization techniques have significantly mitigated these challenges. Modern hardware and software are increasingly capable of handling the demands of asymmetric encryption without compromising performance. #### Practical Applications and Real-World Relevance **Securing Communications** Asymmetric encryption is integral to securing online communications, including email encryption (e.g., PGP) and SSL/TLS protocols used in securing web traffic. The ability to securely exchange keys and authenticate identities is essential for protecting sensitive information transmitted over the internet. **Digital Signatures and Certificates** Digital signatures, enabled by asymmetric encryption, are crucial for verifying the authenticity and integrity of digital documents. They are widely used in financial transactions, software distribution, and legal agreements, ensuring that the content has not been tampered with and confirming the sender's identity. **Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain** Asymmetric encryption underpins the security of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Public and private keys are used to manage wallet addresses and sign transactions, ensuring secure and verifiable transfers of digital assets. #### To Consider While symmetric encryption offers speed and simplicity, asymmetric encryption provides superior security and scalability, making it the preferred choice for most modern cryptographic applications. The ability to securely distribute keys, authenticate identities, and verify the integrity of messages are critical advantages that asymmetric encryption holds over symmetric methods. By understanding and leveraging the strengths of asymmetric encryption, we can build more secure and resilient digital systems, protecting sensitive information in an increasingly interconnected world. Embracing asymmetric encryption as the foundation for digital security not only addresses current challenges but also prepares us for the evolving threats of the future. ### Securing Communications Coventions  1. **Email Encryption (PGP/GPG)**: Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and its open-source counterpart, Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG), use asymmetric encryption to secure email communications. They ensure that only the intended recipient can decrypt and read the message, maintaining privacy and security. 2. **SSL/TLS Protocols**: Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are protocols that use asymmetric encryption to secure data transmitted over the internet. They are widely used to secure web traffic, ensuring that data exchanged between a user’s browser and a web server is encrypted and secure. 3. **Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)**: VPNs use asymmetric encryption to establish a secure connection between a user's device and the VPN server. This encryption ensures that data sent through the VPN tunnel is protected from eavesdropping and interception. 4. **Secure Shell (SSH)**: SSH protocols use asymmetric encryption to secure remote login and command execution over an insecure network. SSH ensures that the communication between the client and server is encrypted, preventing unauthorized access. 5. **Messaging Apps (e.g., Signal)**: Secure messaging applications like Signal use asymmetric encryption to encrypt messages end-to-end. This means that only the sender and recipient can read the messages, ensuring that the communication remains private and secure. ### Digital Signatures and Certificates Conventions 1. **Software Distribution**: Software developers use digital signatures to sign their software. This ensures that the software has not been tampered with and verifies the identity of the developer. Users can trust that the software they download is authentic and has not been altered. 2. **Financial Transactions**: Digital signatures are used to verify the authenticity and integrity of financial transactions. For example, banks and financial institutions use digital signatures to ensure that transaction details are not altered during transmission. 3. **Legal Documents**: Digital signatures are widely used in signing legal documents and contracts. They provide a way to verify the signer's identity and ensure that the document has not been altered after it was signed. 4. **Code Signing Certificates**: Developers use code signing certificates to sign their code. This process ensures that the code is authentic and has not been tampered with, providing trust to users who download and install the software. 5. **Electronic Invoices and Receipts**: Businesses use digital signatures to sign electronic invoices and receipts. This practice ensures the integrity and authenticity of the documents, making them legally binding and verifiable. ### Assets and Blockchain Conventions 1. **Bitcoin**: Bitcoin transactions are secured using asymmetric encryption. Public and private keys are used to manage Bitcoin addresses and sign transactions, ensuring that only the rightful owner can verify their Bitcoins. This forms the backbone of security for modern client server systems enabling change via communities ### The Cashu Protocol: Digital Transactions with Enhanced Privacy and Flexibility  #### So you want to run a mint? When? Sometime Soon? In the anonymity ecosystem of digital transactions, maintaining privacy and security while ensuring seamless interoperability among Bitcoin layers is paramount. The Cashu protocol, an open-source ecash protocol designed for Bitcoin, offers a groundbreaking solution that leverages the Blind Diffie-Hellmann Key Exchange (BDHKE) to facilitate secure and private digital transactions. This argues that the Cashu protocol's innovative cryptographic mechanisms and open-source nature position it as a superior framework for digital currency transactions, fostering a secure, private, and interoperable ecosystem. By examining the protocol's technical foundations, practical applications, and potential challenges, this essay aims to demonstrate why adopting the Cashu protocol is a forward-thinking choice for digital financial systems. #### The Technical Foundations of the Cashu Protocol **Blind Diffie-Hellmann Key Exchange (BDHKE)** At the heart of the Cashu protocol is the BDHKE, which ensures the privacy and security of ecash tokens through a robust cryptographic scheme. The BDHKE involves three key actors: Alice (the sending user), Bob (the mint), and Carol (the receiving user). The process involves a series of steps that obscure the transaction details, making it difficult for unauthorized parties to trace or tamper with the transaction. - **Mint (Bob)**: Bob publishes a public key (K) derived from his private key (k). - **Alice**: Alice picks a secret (x) and blinds it using a random factor (r) to create a blinded message (B_). - **Bob**: Bob receives the blinded message and signs it, returning a blinded key (C_) to Alice. - **Alice**: Alice unblinds the key to obtain a proof (C), which she can use as a token. - **Carol**: Carol can verify the token by sending it to Bob, who checks its validity and adds it to the list of spent secrets if it is genuine. This process ensures that transactions are conducted privately and securely, with the blinding and unblinding steps preventing any correlation between the tokens and their origins. **Cashu NUTs (Notation, Usage, and Terminology)** The Cashu protocol's specifications are meticulously detailed in the Cashu NUTs, providing comprehensive guidelines for implementation and ensuring compatibility across various applications. These specifications enable developers to create interoperable software that adheres to the protocol, fostering a cohesive and secure ecosystem. #### Practical Applications and Implementations **Language Support and Flexibility** The Cashu protocol is supported by multiple programming languages, enhancing its accessibility and implementation flexibility. Examples include: - **Python**: Cashu Nutshell Python Library - **TypeScript**: Cashu-TS TypeScript Library - **Rust**: Cashu-crab and cashu-rs Libraries - **Golang**: Cashu-Feni Golang Library - **Kotlin**: Cashu Client Library in Kotlin - **Dart**: Cashu Dart Library These libraries allow developers to integrate the Cashu protocol into a wide range of applications, promoting widespread adoption and innovation. **Cashu Mints** Several mint implementations, such as Nutshell (Python), Moksha (Rust), Cashu-rs-mint (Rust), and Feni (Golang), provide robust solutions for secure transactions. The LNbits extension further empowers users by allowing them to run their own Nutshell mint, enhancing control over the security and privacy of their transactions. #### Why You Should Focus on Cashu Development **Operational Concerns** Critics might argue that the cryptographic complexity of the Cashu protocol could impact performance and scalability. However, the protocol's design includes optimizations that mitigate these concerns. For instance, the use of efficient cryptographic algorithms ensures that transactions are processed swiftly, even as the volume of transactions increases. Additionally, the open-source nature of the protocol allows for continuous improvements and optimizations by the developer community. **How would I use this and Would Others use it** Alot of users worry about the usability and chance of others using the protocol. While the technical nature of the Cashu protocol might seem daunting to some users, the availability of detailed documentation (Cashu NUTs) and implementation libraries in multiple programming languages lowers the barrier to entry. By providing clear guidelines and versatile tools, the protocol facilitates broader adoption and practical implementation across diverse platforms. Partaking in continued constructive dialogue also around ecash future and past #### Considering The Protocol  The Cashu protocol represents a significant advancement in digital transaction privacy and security. Its innovative use of the Blind Diffie-Hellmann Key Exchange (BDHKE) ensures that transactions are conducted privately and securely, while the open-source nature of the protocol fosters interoperability and widespread adoption. By addressing potential performance and usability concerns through continuous improvement and comprehensive documentation, the Cashu protocol is well-positioned to become a cornerstone of secure digital financial systems. Embracing the Cashu protocol not only enhances the privacy and security of digital transactions but also promotes a more flexible and interoperable ecosystem, making it a forward-thinking choice for the future of digital finance. #### Real-World Applications of the Cashu Protocol **ChatNut: Privacy-Preserving Chat Application** [ChatNut](https://chatnut.sparkpay.pt/) is an innovative chat application that integrates the Cashu protocol to offer privacy-preserving interactions with large language models (LLMs). Users pay-per-request using an integrated Cashu wallet without the need to create accounts, ensuring privacy and security. This application highlights the versatility of the Cashu protocol in enabling secure and anonymous communication services. **SpaceNut: Cashu-Enabled Gaming Experience** [SpaceNut](https://spacenut.nutstash.app/game) is described as the "sickest Cashu-enabled game" available. By integrating the Cashu protocol, SpaceNut offers a gaming experience where players can earn and spend Cashu tokens, demonstrating the protocol's applicability beyond traditional financial transactions. This use case underscores the potential of Cashu to revolutionize the gaming industry by introducing secure and private in-game economies. **NutMiner: Proof-of-Work Based Cashu Faucet** [NutMiner](https://nutminer.semisol.dev/) is a proof-of-work based Cashu faucet that continuously releases Cashu tokens. This innovative approach leverages the principles of proof-of-work to distribute tokens fairly and securely. NutMiner exemplifies how the Cashu protocol can be integrated into decentralized token distribution systems, providing a steady and transparent method for distributing digital currency. The manner in which you choose to run the processes of your mint could be the first step to understanding the power of unlocking transactional freedom on Bitcoin base layer while contributing to future resources around the budding sphere of Sovereign Privacy via Ecash, as an anonymous freedom driver and system to implement provably fair anonymous value systems.

Hello, I want to understand what are these 17.6% lost BTC (is that number even verifiable?) My current understanding is that since bitcoin mining started back in January 2009, many people must have had mined quite a few and then changed computers, some old computer got thrown away, some user died with their wallet, some other mined btc (while they were 1$ or so) and then forgot, non-technical people might have lost their password, other had their storage destroyed, lost ... How far am I from the truth? https://image.nostr.build/4ed94d2d88154623cad86fa99d2d0119e998c166854274a3bf5e9e183822f0ac.jpg

## Secure Boot คืออะไร? Secure Boot เป็นฟังก์ชั่นของระบบไบออส UEFI ที่ป้องกันการติดตั้งไฟล์ระบบที่ไม่ได้รับการอนุมัติจากผู้ผลิดเมนบอร์ด โดยเมื่อระบบบูต, ไบออส UEFI จะตรวจหาลายเซ็นดิจิตอลในไฟล์บูตของระบบปฏิบัติการ หากตรวจพบและเช็คความถูกต้องผ่านหมด ก็จะทำการบูตระบบปฏิบัติการนั้นขึ้นมา แต่ถ้าไม่พบ, ไม่ถูกต้อง หรือลายเซ็นมาจากเจ้าที่ไม่รู้จัก ก็จะปฏิเสธการบูตระบบนั้น ฟีเจอร์นี้มีไว้ในกรณีที่ระบบปฏิบัติการที่มีรูโหว่แล้วถูกไวรัสเขียนทับไฟล์ระบบที่ใช้บูต หรือถูกผู้อื่นเข้าถึงคอมของเราแล้ววางไฟล์บูตที่มีช่องโหว่ให้โจมตีได้ เมื่อผู้ใช้รีสตาร์ต ระบบจะหยุดทำงานที่จอดำเพื่อไม่ให้ไวรัสก่อความเสียหายเพิ่มเติม หรือถูกโจมตีระบบ ## จำเป็นแค่ไหน? หากว่าระบของเราไม่ได้เข้ารหัสแบบ Full-disk encryption แล้วนั้น ตัว secure boot ไม่ได้จำเป็น หรือไม่มีประโยชน์ใด ๆ เลย นอกจากให้ Microsoft บังคับห้ามเราลง ระบบประติบัติการที่เราต้องการเท่านั้น (ปิด secure boot ใน bios ก็สามารถเข้าระบบได้เลย) แต่สำหรับระบบที่เข้ารหัสไว้นั้น จะช่วยเพิ่มความปลอดภัยไปอีกระดับ เช่นหากโดยขโมยคอมไป แม้เขาจะพยายามแก้ไขไฟล์ boot ก็ไม่สามารถเข้าถึงระบบเราได้อยู่ดี มีเดียวทางเดียวคือล้างข้อมูลทั้งหมดทิ้งไปเท่านั้น ถึงจะใช้งานคอมเครื่องนั้น ๆ ได้ แม้จะปิด secure boot ใน bios แล้วก็ตาม ทำให้ระบบ Linux ที่เข้ารหัสไว้ ปลอดภัยขึ้นอีกชั้นนึง ## Boot Loader ``` BIOS > BOOT LOADER > KERNEL > INIT SYSTEM ``` ในระบบประติบัติการ Linux นั้น มีตัวเลือกสำหรับ Boot Loader ที่หลากหลาย อย่างระบบใหม่ ๆ จะใช้ systemd-boot ที่สะดวกใช้งานง่าย ปรับอะไรได้ไม่มากนัก โดยตัวที่ใช้เยอะที่สุดคงจะเป็น GRUB ซึ่งสามารถปรับแต่งได้แทบทุก logic ของการบูตเข้าระบบของเรา และในบทความนี้ เราจะใช้ GRUB ในการทำ Secure Boot โดยก่อนหน้านั้นเราต้องแบ่ง partition ส่วนนึงไปให้ `/boot/efi` ซึ่งเป็น filesystem แบบ fat ทั่ว ๆ ไป สำหรับ ให้ bios อ่านไฟล์ boot ของเราได้ ```sh ❯ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 476.94 GiB, 512110190592 bytes, 1000215216 sectors Disk model: WD PC SN735 SDBPNHH-512G-1002 Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: 9A5798B5-DC04-4770-A26B-3A489642CF32 Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/nvme0n1p1 2048 2099199 2097152 1G EFI System /dev/nvme0n1p2 2099200 1000214527 998115328 475.9G Linux filesystem ``` และอีกส่วน จะใช้ LVM (Logical Volume Management) ในการสร้าง Volume Group (VG) บน SSD ของผม สำหรับติดตั้งระบบที่เข้ารหัสไว้ โดยจะแบ่งพื้นที่ส่วนนึงไปเป็น `swap` partition ใช้สำหรับการเก็บข้อมูลตอนที่เราพับจอ หรือเข้าโหมด sleep ที่เหลือทั้งหมด ก็จะเป็นพื้นที่ติดตั้ง Linux ของผม (disk นี้ผมไม่ได้แยก `/home`(user's home) กับ `/`(root) ไว้คนละ Partition เพราะว่าผมชอบทำ root เต็มบ่อย ๆ ฮาาา) ```sh ❯ sudo vgscan Found volume group "vg0" using metadata type lvm2 ❯ sudo lvscan ACTIVE '/dev/vg0/swap' [17.00 GiB] inherit ACTIVE '/dev/vg0/void' [458.93 GiB] inherit ``` สำหรับวิธีการติดตั้ง Linux แบบเข้ารหัสนั้น มีอยู่ตามคู่มือตอนติดตั้ง Linux เกือบทุกตัวอยู่แล้ว ไม่ต้อง งง ยิ่งพวกที่เป็น GUI install อย่าง Fedora, Ubuntu บลา ๆ นั้นแค่คลิก ๆ ก็ทำได้แล้ว (แถมทำ Secure Boot ได้เลยอีกต่างหาก) โดยที่ระบบที่ผมใช้ในบทความนี้ คือ [VoidLinux](https://voidlinux.org/) ซี่งเป็นระบบง่าย ๆ ไม่มี systemd ให้กวนใจ ส่วนของ software ที่ใช้จะมี 1. grub 2. sbctl และ bash script เล็กน้อย ในการทำ kernel hook สำหรับการ Sign ไฟล์ boot ของเราอัตโนมัติหลังจาก Update # เริ่มกันเลย! อย่างแรก ตั้งค่า SecureBoot ใน Bios เป็น Setup-Mode ให้เรียบร้อยก่อน จากนั้นต้องตั้งค่า Grub กันใหม่ โดยเพิ่ม module `tpm` และ `--disable-shim-lock` (สำหรับ Microsoft's CA) เผื่อกรณีที่อยากทำ Dual Boot เข้า Windows ด้วย ```sh sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=void --modules="tpm" --disable-shim-lock ``` จากนั้นก็มา Gen ไฟล์ตั้งค่าที่เพิ่งทำไปด้วยคำสั่ง ```sh sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg ``` แล้วก็ติดตั้ง sbctl ให้เรียบร้อย ```sh sudo xbps-install sbctl ``` จากนั้นลองเช็คด้วยคำสั่ง `sbctl status` ก็จะแสดงผลประมาณนี้ ```sh ❯ sbctl status Installed: ✓ sbctl is installed ..... ``` จากนั้นเราก็จะสร้าง Key สำหรับการ Sign ไฟล์ Boot ของเรา ```sh sudo sbctl create-keys ``` พอได้คีย์แล้ว `enroll-keys` ต่อ คำสั่งนี้จะสร้างรหัสสำหรับ Verify ใน Bios ให้เราหลังจากการตั้ง Setup-Mode ใน Secure Boot (`-m` คือการเพิ่ม Cert ของ Microsoft ไปด้วย เผื่อ Dual Boot) ```sh sudo sbctl enroll-keys -m ``` หลังจากขั้นตอนนี้ก็ใช้คำสั่งดู status อีกรอบ และใช้คำสั่ง `sudo sbctl verify` เพื่อดูว่าเราต้อง Sign ไฟล์ไหนบ้าง ```sh ❯ sbctl status Installed: ✓ sbctl is installed Owner GUID: 61bb7cf9-38bb-4ef5-94f6-960b095c9322 Setup Mode: ✓ Disabled Secure Boot: ✓ Enabled Vendor Keys: microsoft ❯ sudo sbctl verify Verifying file database and EFI images in /boot/efi.. ✓ /boot/efi/EFI/void/grubx64.efi is signed ``` อย่างตัวอย่างข้างบนคือไฟล์เหล่านี้ได้ถูก sign เรียบร้อยแล้ว ก็สามารถ Boot ด้วย Secure Boot ได้เลย หากไฟล์ไหนยังไม่ได้ Sign ก็จัดการด้วยคำสั่ง `sudo sbctl sign -s /ไฟล์พาท` เช่น ```sh sudo sbctl sign -s /boot/efi/EFI/void/grubx64.efi ``` แล้วก็ลอง `sudo sbctl verify` ดูว่า sign เรียบร้อยดีไหม ถ้าเรียบร้อยแล้วก็สามารถ reboot ไปเปิด SecureBoot ดูได้เลย ว่า Boot เข้าระบบได้หรือไม่ และบางระบบก็ต้อง sign ไฟล์ kernel ด้วยเหมือนกัน อย่างระบบผม ต้อง sign `/boot/vmlinuz-{version}` ด้วย ไม่งั้น Boot ไม่ได้ ```sh ❯ sudo sbctl sign -s /boot/vmlinuz-6.9.6_1 ❯ sudo sbctl verify Verifying file database and EFI images in /boot/efi... ✓ /boot/vmlinuz-6.9.6_1 is signed ✓ /boot/efi/EFI/void/grubx64.efi is signed ``` หลังจาก reboot ด้วย SecureBoot ได้เรียบร้อย เป็นอันเสร็จ แต่อย่าลืมว่าถ้าระบบ Update เราต้องกลับมา Sign เองใหม่หรือเปล่า?? ## Kernel Hook โดยทั่วไป ระบบ Linux จะมี Directory `/etc/kernel.d/post-install/` ซึ่งจะรวบรวมเอา Script สำหรับใช้หลังจาก Update ระบบเช่น ตัว Grub เอง ก็สร้างไฟล์ config ใหม่ทุกครั้งหลังจาก update kernel ```sh cat /etc/kernel.d/post-install/50-grub #!/bin/sh # # Kernel hook for GRUB 2. # # Arguments passed to this script: $1 pkgname, $2 version. # PKGNAME="$1" VERSION="$2" export ZPOOL_VDEV_NAME_PATH=YES if command -v grub-mkconfig >/dev/null 2>&1; then if [ -d $ROOTDIR/boot/grub ]; then grub-mkconfig -o $ROOTDIR/boot/grub/grub.cfg exit $? fi fi exit 0 ``` และสังเกตุว่า ไฟล์ทั้งหมดใน Directory นี้นั้น จะนำหน้าด้วยตัวเลข ซึ่งเป็นลำดับของการทำงานนั่นเอง โดยที่เลขน้อยกว่า จะถูกรันก่อน จนครบ ```sh ❯ sudo ls /etc/kernel.d/post-install/ -l 10-dkms 20-initramfs -> ../../../usr/libexec/dracut/kernel-hook-postinst 50-bootsize 50-efibootmgr 50-grub ``` เราก็จะทำการ Copy ไฟล์ `50-grub` มาเป็น templates ในการทำ kernel hook และตั้งชื่อว่า `60-sign` เพื่อให้แน่ใจว่า ทุกอย่างถูกติดตั้งไปก่อน แล้ว sign เป็นลำดับสุดท้าย ```sh sudo cp /etc/kernel.d/post-install/50-grub /etc/kernel.d/post-install/60-sign ``` แล้วก็เข้าไปแก้ไขไฟล์ ```sh sudo vi /etc/kernel.d/post-install/60-sign ``` แล้วก็ปรับคำสั่งเป็น sbctl ให้เรียบร้อย จะสังเกตุว่าผมได้ใช้ sign สองครั้ง คือ `grub config` และไฟล์ kernel `vmlinuz-` ที่มีเวอร์ชั่นตามท้าย ```bash #!/bin/sh # # Kernel post-install hook for surcue boot. # # Arguments passed to this script: $1 pkgname, $2 version. # PKGNAME="$1" VERSION="$2" if command -v sbctl >/dev/null 2>&1; then if [ -d $ROOTDIR/boot/efi ]; then echo "Signing new packages v.$VERSION" sbctl sign -s /boot/efi/EFI/void/grubx64.efi sbctl sign -s /boot/vmlinuz-${VERSION} exit $?

数日前、スペインでインスティトゥト・フアン・デ・マリアナが主催する「自由の晩餐会」が開催されました。このイベントは、リベラルな組織にとって最も重要で象徴的な行事の一つで、毎年開催され、スペインや他の国々から自由の擁護者たちが集う場となり、ネットワーキングやリベラルなアイデアに関する議論の場を提供します。 この晩餐会では、自由の擁護において卓越した献身を示した個人や団体に贈られる権威ある「フアン・デ・マリアナ賞」が授与されます。この賞は、経済、政治、哲学の分野で著名な人物に贈られており、彼らは個人の自由と自由市場の進展に大きく貢献しています。 今回は、スペインの著名な経済学者、弁護士、作家であり、レイ・フアン・カルロス大学（URJC）の政治経済学の教授であるヘスス・ウエルタ・デ・ソトが、アルゼンチンの大統領で現代リベラリズムの主要な知識人の一人であるハビエル・ミレイに賞を授与しました。ウエルタ・デ・ソトは、リベラルな思想において影響力のある人物であり、ミレイの知的指導者として、その自由の擁護における見事な業績を称賛しました。 スピーチの中で、ウエルタ・デ・ソトは、これは彼の人生で最も重要なスピーチであると述べました。それが彼の最も重要な知的貢献とは考えていないものの、これまでに行ってきた自由の理念の擁護と普及に関するすべての仕事をある意味で総括する、彼のキャリアにおいて最も重要な言葉であると考えています。 以下、ハビエル・ミレイを深く感動させ、彼の目に涙を浮かべさせたスピーチの翻訳になります。 > 今日は、恐れを知らず、世界を変えるために自己を犠牲にすることをためらわない一人の男に敬意を表します。自由という言葉を聞くだけで心が力強く鼓動する男、ハビエル・ミレイは、休むことなく、譲ることなく、自由を追い求めています。それは彼の大きな夢であり、そのエネルギーと情熱は、歴史上の偉大な自由の英雄たちにしか見られないものです。ハビエル・ミレイは、まさにそのような存在になりました。 > まず、経済学を学ぶ人々にとって、彼は優れた経済学者としてその分野を完全に掌握しており、謙虚に理解しています。周囲の世界を理解するには、オーストリア学派の経済学の動的で企業家的、創造的なアプローチに従うことが必要であると。実際には、それはスペインの黄金時代のスコラ哲学者たちに由来するため、スペイン学派と呼ばれるべきです。 > 彼の言葉を借りるならば、ハビエル・ミレイは、主流派のネオクラシカル経済学の限界を見抜くことができました。その仮定の非現実性、形式的および方法論的な還元主義、そして何よりも、最悪の場合には社会工学と国家主義を助長し、最良の場合でも市場を誤った理由で擁護するという重大な誤りを犯している、幻想的な均衡モデルに基づいているからです。オーストリア学派が教えてくれるように、市場は自発的で素晴らしい人間の協力のプロセスであり、創造性と調整を促進します。このプロセスは、国家主義によって改善されることはなく、その科学的な不可能性もまたオーストリア学派によって証明されています。 > さらに、ハビエル・ミレイは、今日の政治家にとっての模範となっています。彼は、自身が擁護する主張の科学的基盤を完全に理解し、確信と知的誠実さをもって自由を守ることができるからです。ちょうど、どの医師も医学を完全に習得することなくしてその職務を果たすべきでないのと同様に、いかなる政治指導者、議会議員、大使、あるいはどの省庁の高官も、オーストリア学派が教える経済学、自由、倫理の基本理論を事前に知らずしてその役割を果たすべきではありません。 > 現在、民主主義が、嘘と税金で得た資金による票の買収に基づく、歪んだシステムへと変わりつつある中で、ハビエル・ミレイは、常に真実を語り、厳しい現実を市民に説明しつつ、なおも自由の理念に対する圧倒的な支持を得ることが可能であることを示しました。彼のリーダーシップは、日々の政治の制約に左右されることなく、決して方向を見失わず、さらに自由を推進する努力を怠りません。したがって、各国でミレイのモデルに従うことを求める者たちは、すでにその道筋とすべきことを知っています。それは、ミレイのモデルを忠実に守ることです。 > また、ハビエル・ミレイはすべての人々、特に若者にとっての模範ともなっています。人間の魂に感染する最も致命的なウイルスである国家主義に対抗する中で、ハビエル・ミレイは、他の誰よりも自由の理念を広めるという並外れた功績を持っています。彼は、文字通り、街頭や広場で、そしてメディアを通じて、何千人もの人々に経済理論を教え、知的かつ道徳的に国家主義の理念を打ち破ってきました。彼の言葉によれば、それはこれまで良識ある人々を縛りつけていたものです。特に、若者にとって、ミレイは模範的な存在であり、まだ完全に汚染されておらず、国家主義の罠に陥っていない彼らが、少し勉強し、オーストリア学派の理念に従えば、自由の熱心な擁護者となり、国家が課す組織的な暴力と強制に対する強力な反対者へとすぐに変わることができるでしょう。 > 自由、生命、財産を象徴する善と、暴力と国家による強制を具現化する悪との間の永続的な闘争において、今日、我々は知的にも道徳的にも歴史的にも、国家主義が死に瀕していると断言できます。この新たな時代において、ハビエル・ミレイと彼を間違いなく支持する者たちの力を借りて、我々の使命は、国家主義に最終的なとどめを刺すことです。未来は、自由を愛し信じる我々のものです。現在、あらゆる派閥の政治家や国家主義者たちが、本当にショックを受け、恐怖におののき、防御的になっているのは驚くべきことではありません。ハビエル・ミレイが言うように、それは「世界中のファシストたち」、そしてハイエクを引用すれば、それは左翼も右翼も含むすべての政党です。 > 最後に、ハビエル・ミレイは、寛大さの模範でもあります。彼は、出身に関係なく、かつての対立者たちに対しても寛大です。自分の過ちを誠実に認め、自由の理想を抱く勇気と知的誠実さを示す者たちは、彼の寛大さを受けます。多くの人々が、ミレイの話を聞いて、自分が実はアナルコ・キャピタリスト（無政府資本主義者）である、またはそうなりたかったことに気づいています。ハビエル・ミレイは決して自分を神格化することはなく、常に機会があるごとに、自分の偉大な師たちを引用します。それは、ミーゼス、ハイエク、ロスバード、ギットナー、ホッペといった巨人たちと肩を並べるにはふさわしくない私のような者も含まれます。このすべて、そしてハビエル・ミレイが私の人生のこの段階で私にもたらしてくれた大きな個人的な幸福のために、私は彼の知的寛大さに対して、個人的にも道徳的にも感謝しなければなりません。 > さらに、リチャード・ソモンテにも感謝したいと思います。彼は、社会主義から逃れてマドリードにやってきたキューバの芸術家で、大人物の壮大な肖像画、とりわけ私の祖父がファンだったフアン・ベルモンテのような闘牛士の肖像画を得意としています。ソモンテは、21世紀の政治の真の闘牛士、ハビエル・ミレイの巨大な肖像画を完成させるというアイデアを私に提案してくれました。この場合、戦って倒すべき「牛」は、間違いなく国家です。 > 今日ここにあるこの肖像画は、この場で彼に贈るためのものです。話を終えるまでの1分半後に、皆さんがご覧になれる献辞が書かれています。それはこう書かれています。「自由の巨人、ハビエル・ミレイ大統領へ、彼の教授であるヘスス・ウエルタ・デ・ソトより、今日の日に。」 > そして、マーティン・ルーサー・キングを引用して、こう締めくくります。「I have a dream」、私には夢があります。私は、国家が最終的に解体され、暗く恐ろしい歴史的な遺物としてのみ記憶される日を夢見ています。私は、国家の論理と理性、そしてそれが引き起こす社会的な紛争や無限の暴力が完全に、そして永久に消え去る世界を夢見ています。私は、人間を財政的に搾取することを目的とする国家が存在しない世界を夢見ています。私は、官僚たちが私たちの子供たちを洗脳せず、彼らを国家の所有物と見なさない世界を夢見ています。 > 私は、福祉国家という嘘が、特に最も困窮し、弱い立場にある人々のために、国家のない真の福祉に取って代わられる世界を夢見ています。私は、強制的で歪められた社会正義が、自由市場の無限の繁栄と愛に基づいた自発的な人間の連帯によって取って代わられる世界を夢見ています。それは、自由であるからこそ真実であり、強制や暴力によって押し付けられるものではありません。私は、したがって、自由意思による、自己調整された、無政府資本主義の世界を夢見ています。 > 私は、オーストリア学派が説明するように、今日では強制的で非道徳的なすべての公共サービスが、道徳的かつ効率的で、民間によって提供される世界を夢見ています。要するに、私は、人間がついに国家主義の鎖から解放され、自由に神を選ぶことができる世界を夢見ています、もしそう望むなら。 > ハビエル・ミレイと、常に私たちを見守る天の力のおかげで、今日は未来の歴史が始まり、私の夢が現実になり始めました。そして最後に、四つの万歳を叫びます。オーストリア学派の経済学に万歳！偉大なるアルゼンチンと、その大統領ハビエル・ミレイに万歳！そしてもちろん、自由に万歳！カーラホ！ 注釈： **ヘスス・ウエルタ・デ・ソト・バリェステル**は、スペインの著名な経済学者、弁護士、作家であり、レイ・フアン・カルロス大学（URJC）の政治経済学の教授です。オーストリア学派の代表として、彼は『社会主義、経済計算と企業機能』(*"Socialismo, Cálculo Económico y Función Empresarial"*)において、企業の機能と社会主義の不可能性に関する重要な理論的貢献をしています。さらに、彼は『マネー、銀行信用と経済サイクル』(*"Dinero, Crédito Bancario y Ciclos Económicos"*)において、オーストリア学派の景気循環理論の発展と動的効率性の擁護で知られています。ウエルタ・デ・ソトは、社会の現実は理論的、歴史的、倫理的なアプローチを組み合わせて分析すべきであると主張し、アナルコキャピタリズム（無政府資本主義）と完全な経済の自由化を支持しています。彼の作品は多くの言語に翻訳されており、経済の自由と金融改革の擁護において、影響力のある人物としての地位を確立しています。 **インスティトゥト・フアン・デ・マリアナ**（IJM） は、スペインのマドリードに本拠を置くリベラル志向のシンクタンクで、2005年に設立されました。その目的は、その定款によると、「スペイン、ヨーロッパ、およびヒスパニックアメリカの広い大衆に対し、私有財産、自由な企業活動、および公共権力の行動範囲の制限がもたらす利益を紹介すること」です。その名称は、サラマンカ学派の後期の代表者であるフアン・デ・マリアナに由来しています。また、マドリードのレイ・フアン・カルロス大学の法学部および社会科学部において、オーストリア学派の経済学修士課程を後援しています。

I've been dealing with a lot of aspiring IT people, lately, and it has me sort of jaded. I'm trying to think of the level of competence I would expect of someone like myself because it has changed, dramatically, since I started out, 26 years ago. I've only now managed to catch up enough to feel "requalified" for my own profession, so I thought I'd write it down for all of you, so that you know what to look for. As in, what is the new "industry standard" knowledge level for a software business analyst? ### If I were hiring a business analyst today, I'd ask... 1. What do e-mail, FTP, and UML have in common? 2. What is the difference between an intranet and the Internet? Name the four Internet layers and one protocol for each. 3. What are unit tests and integration tests and what are they useful for? Who should write them? Who should be looking at the results? 4. What is a build server and why use one? What is the difference between continuous integration and continuous deployment? 5. Please explain the three source control commands: commit, push, and pull. 6. Please explain the three Linux commands: pwd, ls, cat. 7. How do software branches work? What is a merge conflict? What are pull requests? 8. What is the difference between an activity diagram, a state-machine diagram, and a class diagram and when is it best to use which? 9. What are DDD and TDD? What purpose do they serve? 10. What are use cases and user stories? When is it best to use which? What is gherkin? 11. What is the difference between stateful and stateless? 12. What is agile programming? 13. Explain the difference between Kanban, Xtreme Programming, and Scrum, and when is it best to use which? 14. What is the difference between functional and object-oriented programming? Why use one, rather than the other? 15. What are wireframes, mockups, and prototypes? 16. Name two network topologies and give an example for an implementation of each. 17. What are XML, Json, and Yaml and why use one, rather than another? 18. What is an ORM and why use one? What are validators? 19. Name three types of databases and a use case they are ideal for. 20. Explain the importance of data sets to machine learning.

I recently attempted to lure people to Stacker News from Minds. My recruitment post was seen over 6k times and received 34 upvotes, over the past 25 days. Over that time period, I generated two Stacker News referrals, which may not have even come from Minds. ## Why Minds? I primarily used Minds, before finding Stacker News. It was created as a free speech alternative to Big Tech platforms. It also has a rewards system that is not entirely dissimilar to Stacker News'. The aspiration of Minds, according to its founder, is to foster open discussions while rewarding creators. Many people on Minds are staunch advocates of advancing human freedom and they've already demonstrated a willingness to look for the best platform for doing so. In many ways, they seemed like an ideal audience to appeal to. Everything Minds is trying to do, works better here. The conversations are deeper and more varied. The earnings are astonishingly greater. It's pretty normal to not get a single comment or upvote on a Minds post and my total earnings were only about $10. ## Why did it fail? I was not expecting much from this experiment. I had accumulated a bunch of Minds tokens during my time there and this seemed like the best way to utilize them. Even with low expectations, I was a little surprised at just how paltry the interest was. There were two clear reasons for the lack of converts, one was made explicitly, while I inferred the other: 1. People were put off by the bitcoin-centrism of Stacker News. It didn't matter to them that you can have better conversations about everything else on SN than on Minds, or that Bitcoin is a more functional analogue of the Minds tokens they're using, they didn't want to be around so many bitcoiners. 2. People like cheap talk. Why did my post about SN get dozens of upvotes (that's a ton for Minds), but very few comments or referrals? Well, it doesn't cost anything to click the thumbs up button, whereas taking the time to actually check out Stacker News or leave a comment takes time they don't want to invest. ## Concluding Thoughts "We're still early" is a common refrain, but this drove it home in a different way. What should have been a very receptive audience, had no interest in a site that is superior in every significant way to the one they're using, largely because it's related to bitcoin. These are predominantly anti-establishment folks who talk about the need for parallel institutions. Even amongst that group, bitcoin isn't just not of interest, it's to be avoided. One of my concerns about Stacker News has been that it will turn into just another toxic internet partisan circle jerk as it grows. This recruitment experiment alleviated that concern, because we're nowhere near drawing in that audience. I'm also left at a loss for understanding where the next stage of healthy SN growth will come from.

# Using p2p Electronic Cash #### by Blogging Bitcoin ``` “The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. To the naive mind that can conceive of order only as the product of deliberate arrangement, it may seem absurd that in complex conditions order, and adaptation to the unknown, can be achieved more effectively by decentralizing decisions and that a division of authority will actually extend the possibility of overall order. Yet that decentralization actually leads to more information being taken into account.” ― Friedrich Hayek, The Fatal Conceit: The Errors of Socialism ``` I write a free and open source blog about using bitcoin as peer to peer electronic cash. This is a compilation of some blogs I've written over the last two years. I wanted to write a book, but always felt paywalls are contrary to the free and open-source software movement. I still might publish this on dead trees, but want it to be free for anyone to read like the code you can find on https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/. This is also an example of what bitcoin makes possible. Andreas Antonopolis once compared bitcoin to the invention of the printing press. I may not agree with everything he says, but he was right about that. Bitcoin allows me to get paid directly by the consumer. It is possible to sell my words without jumping through the Amazon hoops. App developers can publish apps, but Apple will not be levy their 30% tax. I'm not advocating tax evasion or fighting the IRS, but **why should we pay corporations to publish and censor us when we can be paid directly from our audience?** This is a compilation of 21 of my favorite blogs I wrote on nostr over the last two years. It is written using the Value 4 Value model. To support my work, please pay the paywall, send zaps, or contribute your time treasure, or talent in another way. Most bitcoin books try to convince you to buy bitcoin. They talk about how bitcoin is worth more today than ten years ago. You should buy bitcoin because it's going to a moon 69,420 light-years away in a galaxy called WhenLambo. I get it. 125 sats will most likely buy you something at the dollar tree one day. At the time of this writing, 1,922 will buy you a single item at the dollar tree, but 1,538 sats will buy you a paper NFT with George Washinton's mug shot. This is not about NFT's, trading crypto, or how many dollars 100,000,000 sats are worth. It's the musings of some nerd on the Internet who believes cryptography equals freedom in the electronic age. It's about how I use bitcoin and freedom tech in an unfree fiat tech world. All of my work is written under a Creative Commons Licence. To support my work, please pay the paywall or send zaps. I have published this blog behind this paywall. Paywalls kinda suck because they block so many people from reading your work--At least they think they do. Most paywalls can be bypassed by a simple google search nostr:nprofile1qyvhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yvfwvd6hyun9de6zuenedyhszxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9e3h2unjv4h8gtnx095j7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7qgswaehxw309ahx7um5wghx6mmd9uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpzdmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82c30qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uqzqadlydf3460e333fjkaqwxg7fz82636ew5m36c7hml2xhhsml2y4csrc5a ## Using p2p Electronic Cash, by Blogging Bitcoin https://i.nostr.build/zdJG3.png 1)[My Nym Is Blogging Bitcoin](https://habla.news/u/bloggingbitcoin@nostrplebs.com/my-nym-is-blogging-bitcoin) 2 [Support Yo0ur Local Circular Economy To Drain The Exchanges](https://habla.news/u/bloggingbitcoin@nostrplebs.com/support-your-local-bitcoin-circular-economy-to-drain-the-exchanges) 3)[Then They Fight You](https://habla.news/u/bloggingbitcoin@nostrplebs.com/then-they-fight-you) 4)[Use Bitcoin To Protoest Inflation](https://habla.news/u/bloggingbitcoin@nostrplebs.com/use-bitcoin-to-protest-inflation) 5)[Stacking Sats On Substack](https://habla.news/u/bloggingbitcoin@nostrplebs.com/stacking-sats-on-substack) 6)[Bitcoin Is Not A Belief](https://habla.news/u/bloggingbitcoin@nostrplebs.com/bitcoin-is-not-a-belief) 7)[Why I Write On Nostr](https://habla.news/u/bloggingbitcoin@nostrplebs.com/why-i-write-on-nostr) 8)[The Nostr Tip Jar](https://habla.news/u/bloggingbitcoin@nostrplebs.com/the-nostr-tip-jar) 9)[Privacy Is Necessary For An Open Society In The Electronic Age](https://habla.news/u/bloggingbitcoin@nostrplebs.com/fix-the-money-fix-the-music) 10)[Fix The Money, Fix The Music](https://habla.news/u/bloggingbitcoin@nostrplebs.com/fix-the-money-fix-the-music) 11)[Build The Bitcoin Economy On Nostr](https://habla.news/u/bloggingbitcoin@nostrplebs.com/build-the-bitcoin-economy-on-nostr) 12)[I don't trust the Cold Card: How to Verify Dice Rolls Using Tails](nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqadlydf3460e333fjkaqwxg7fz82636ew5m36c7hml2xhhsml2y4qqyrxvp5xs6n2dpe9pzgyn) 13)[Recurring Bitcoin Donations with OakNode](nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqadlydf3460e333fjkaqwxg7fz82636ew5m36c7hml2xhhsml2y4qqyrsvnpxumrzdejpxnwck) 14)[Crypto Means Cryptography](nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqadlydf3460e333fjkaqwxg7fz82636ew5m36c7hml2xhhsml2y4qqvkxunewp6x7ttdv4skuuedvde8jur5danhyctsdpusgmwy39) 15)[Doge Is Dumb](nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqadlydf3460e333fjkaqwxg7fz82636ew5m36c7hml2xhhsml2y4qqxnzd3cxqunvv3cxvurxwp42mnegp) 16)[Instransigent Tipping](nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqadlydf3460e333fjkaqwxg7fz82636ew5m36c7hml2xhhsml2y4qqyrzdfhvs6nze3stpwaxy) 17)[Explain The Blockchain To Me(Like I don't Know How To Use The Command Line)](nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqadlydf3460e333fjkaqwxg7fz82636ew5m36c7hml2xhhsml2y4qqxnzd3cxcengvf3xvcnvwpn3k86av) 18)[Freedom On The Internet](nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqadlydf3460e333fjkaqwxg7fz82636ew5m36c7hml2xhhsml2y4qqxnzd3c8qmrwvfnxqungvpsk7v0ea) 19)[How Bitcoin Works In A Nutshell](nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqadlydf3460e333fjkaqwxg7fz82636ew5m36c7hml2xhhsml2y4qq2hzanpx3fhxdnrfaxyj56xtpgxven8xye8w69tg7s) 20)[Stacking Simages/bitcoin-shop-banner.png,https://affil.trezor.io/aff_c?offer_id=169&aff_id=33845;/static/images/bitcoin-hardware-wallet.png;/ats Is For Everybody](nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqadlydf3460e333fjkaqwxg7fz82636ew5m36c7hml2xhhsml2y4qq2hx3p5g4kr2hmzv9c85ttrtgc8vajsfpyrzh2n9mt) 21)[Using p2p Electronic Cash](#) ₿logging ₿itcoin [848,675](https://timechaincalendar.com/en/block/848675 ) [debtclock](https://www.usdebtclock.org/) 🧡 Support this by using the ⚡[Value 4 Value model](https://pay.blogging-bitcoin.com/apps/3vEV1KbgVJbLgYtcPkcSwR9mCt4S/pos)⚡

　Nostrで最近マイナンバーカードについての投稿が多くなった気がします。おそらく都内の選挙のためだろうと思います。マイナンバーカードは、多くのサービスを便利にする可能性があります。行政手続きが迅速になり、医療情報が一元管理されることで医療の質が向上し、金融取引が簡便になるといったメリットがあります。このような便利さを享受し、税金を払うことに問題を感じない人もいるでしょう。しかし、税金の（こと）問題を別として、マイナンバーカードの便利さの裏には、プライバシーとセキュリティに対する大きなリスクが存在することを見逃してはなりません。 　まず、日本はサイバーセキュリティに関して非常に脆弱であるという現実があります。過去には政府機関や企業がサイバー攻撃を受け、多くの個人情報が流出した事例が数多く報告されています。最近の例を挙げると、2024年5月には静岡県浜松市で、ホームページに誤って約1000人分の名前や住所、携帯電話番号といった個人情報が公開される事件が発生しました 。このような背景から、マイナンバーカードが導入されると、個人情報が一元化されることにより、情報漏洩のリスクが格段に高まるのは明らかです。攻撃者がこのデータにアクセスすることで、大量の個人情報が盗まれ、アイデンティティの盗難が発生しやすくなります。例えば、詐欺者が被害者の名前を使って銀行口座を開設したり、ローンを申請したりすることが可能になり、金融詐欺のリスクも増大します。 　ちなみに実際、2023年度には企業や行政機関からの個人情報の漏洩件数が過去最多の1万3279件に達し、そのうち334件がマイナンバーに関するものでした 。。。 　データが一つの大きなデータベースに集約されると、そのデータベースはハッカーにとって美味しいターゲットとなります。日本のサイバーセキュリティの弱点を考えると、このデータベースが侵害される可能性は高く、何百万もの人々の個人情報が漏洩し、深刻なプライバシーの侵害が起こるリスクが高まります。データベースを管理する組織の従業員が不正にアクセスすることで、内部からの誤用やプライバシーの侵害も十分に考えられます。 　マイナンバーカードは、政府や企業が個人の行動や活動を追跡するのを容易にし、個人の同意なしに監視が行われることに等しい状況を生み出します。個人の取引や活動が細かく追跡され、自由な生活が制限される恐れが出てきます。自分が買い物、SNS、投資行動などから示した思想や傾向は、ある意味反社会的であることとして判断されたら、雇用、保険、クレジットなどでの差別につながるリスクも、現実的な懸念となります。まさに、自由に発想することすらできなくなるでしょう。 　これらのリスクを考えると、マイナンバーカードは、便利さと引き換えに多くのプライバシーと自由を犠牲にしていると言えます。個人情報の保護はデジタルにおいて個人の最優先事項であり、利便性と個人のプライバシー権をバランスよく保つための対策が不可欠ですが、プライバシーは一度失われると取り戻すのが非常に難しい、というのも忘れてはなりません。日本政府などにご自分のすべての個人情報をわたして任せても良いか、改めて考えてみる価値があると思います。ではでは。

Several months ago, nostr:npub1hqaz3dlyuhfqhktqchawke39l92jj9nt30dsgh2zvd9z7dv3j3gqpkt56s and I set out to do tackle a task that had never been done before throughout Nostr's short history. We decided adopt the "go big, or go home" mentality and give our best effort to Purple Pill all of the nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r conference. We couldn't accomplish this monumental task without the help of the Nostr community. From every day Nostriches and plebs, to legendary developers putting their blood, sweat, and tears into building this new protocol, to several companies within the Nostr ecosystem, everyone was going to need to do their part to turn this dream into a reality. ## The mission For the original vision of Nostr at BTC Prague, we planned on supporting the smallest available booth and a small panel on the secondary stage. The plan was for any Nostr developer to contribute what they could and then use the Nostr booth as a central hub to onboard users to their applications, provide support to their users, and meet the community. I embarked on my first crowdfunding journey and was able to initially raise over 10M sats thanks to the greater Nostr community donating towards our efforts. Shortly afterwards, I was approached by nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m from Satlantis. He had planned on doing a mainstage presentation at BTC Prague on his new Nostr powered application. He asked me if I wanted to combine our efforts to upgrade the Nostr booth to the largest booth possible to give Nostr an even larger presence. I reached out to Avi and several other trusted Nostriches to see their opinions on this potential upgrade and everyone seemed to agree that we should continue with the "go big, or go home" mentality and try our best to Purple Pill all of Prague. Now with a larger goal at hand, we were able to garner even more support from the Nostr community in addition by adding Highlighter from nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft and Primal from nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr as larger contributors. The final tallies for funds raised were 16M+ sats from the greater Nostr community and 38M+ sats raised from [Satlantis](https://satlantis.io), [Primal](https://primal.net), and [Highlighter](https://highlighter.com). (We did have to raise a little more than originally anticipated because the Bitcoin 58K Gang made the fiat value of Bitcoin dip down for a bit right when we were trying to finalize payment.) ## Putting it all together This support enabled us to secure one of the four large booths at BTC Prague and a main stage panel. Given that these three companies made significant contributions, enabling our acquisition of the largest booth, we decided that it was logical to feature these companies more prominently. However, it was crucial to strike a delicate balance here. While emphasizing that this booth represented the Nostr community and was a true community effort, we also wanted to acknowledge and showcase those who made it possible. These companies could have opted for smaller individual booths, but their collaboration in a unified space demonstrates Nostr's principles of openness and interoperability—demonstrating that everyone and everything can work together seamlessly. Therefore, we included as many logos across the Nostr ecosystem as possible throughout our iconography.  And, we also had a dedicated area of the booth highlighting our larger contributors.  The results exceeded all expectations. For three days during the BTC Prague conference, the Nostr booth was continuously bustling with activity. Attendees ranged from individuals who had never heard of Nostr before to those who were curious, active users within the ecosystem, and developers creating the applications we use daily. It was a remarkable community effort, with unexpected volunteers stepping up to onboard new users and provide support. Recognizing our busy schedules and flocks of new Nostriches hatching, they chose to assist in our efforts, offering help, and answering questions. It was a truly inspiring experience. Despite the busyness, the enthusiasm and support of so many people made each day enjoyable and dynamic, ensuring there was never a dull moment and we were always surrounded by friends. ## Booth takeaways As this was our very first attempt at doing something like this, I'd like to do a personal post mortem and highlight many of our successes and even some areas where I feel we can improve upon in the future. Several Nostriches went above and beyond, helping onboard people and answer questions for three days straight. nostr:npub17plqkxhsv66g8quxxc9p5t9mxazzn20m426exqnl8lxnh5a4cdns7jezx0 nostr:npub1spdnfacgsd7lk0nlqkq443tkq4jx9z6c6ksvaquuewmw7d3qltpslcq6j7 nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 nostr:npub1k6tqlj78cpznd0yc74wy3k0elmj4nql87a3uzfz98tmj3tuzxywsf0dhk6 nostr:npub1md39ua3h2s7204a7v5p9sdxmxx9qc7m4kr3r6naeuwfznad6d7nsxpctp9 nostr:npub1arkn0xxxll4llgy9qxkrncn3vc4l69s0dz8ef3zadykcwe7ax3dqrrh43w nostr:npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc were the lifeblood of the booth, always answering questions themselves or referring them to others if they were unable to help, didn't know the answer or were busy at the time. You all put in the work and deserve much credit and thanks. Even nostr:npub1995y964wmxl94crx3ksfley24szjr390skdd237ex9z7ttp5c9lqld8vtf was helping with onboarding!  Additionally, beyond general use case questions, we also had many developers stop by and answer many more technical questions for those wanting to learn a bit more too. nostr:npub1zach44xjpc4yyhx6pgse2cj2pf98838kja03dv2e8ly8lfr094vqvm5dy5 nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 nostr:npub1arkn0xxxll4llgy9qxkrncn3vc4l69s0dz8ef3zadykcwe7ax3dqrrh43w nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft were often seen answering more technical questions on various developmental topics.   Identifying areas for improvement is challenging, as the entire team of Nostriches performed exceptionally well, exceeding expectations. The event was a whirlwind of activity, with constant engagement and zero downtime. Volunteers seamlessly rotated at the front counter answering questions and distributing items to attendees. (Thanks nostr:npub1cgcwm56v5hyrrzl5ty4vq4kdud63n5u4czgycdl2r3jshzk55ufqe52ndy . Your nostr.how and nostrapps.com business cards were a HUGE help here!) Full disclosure, I personally didn't leave the booth for three days all that much for two reasons. 1) Because I love to #GrowNostr and talk to people and 2) Because I was worried that the booth would turn into a corporate Primal or Satlantis show. **However, this wasn't the case.** While these teams did have a large presence with many team members all wearing t-shirts, none of my fears became a reality. If people asked questions about Nostr in general, that was discussed. If people asked questions about Primal or Satlantis, that was discussed. I personally recommended numerous social apps, Damus, Amethyst, Primal, Nostur, Nos.social - all of them. The booth was a true decentralized effort and I absolutely did not need to worry as much as I did, but I felt like I had an obligation to fulfill and I wanted to be there to see it through. If I had to choose an area that needed improvement, I'd say that the three Satlantis women that nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m brought with him were supposed to shadow some of us to learn more about Nostr, so that they could then use this information to do the initial intake booth questions before making the referral to those with more information, but this just didn't happen. We were all so busy. Sorry! It was just too hard to coordinate. Maybe in the future we can prepare a bit more in this area. Although, nostr:npub1hz5alqscpp8yjrvgsdp2n4ygkl8slvstrgvmjca7e45w6644ew7sewtysa did a fantastic job, jumping right in there head first! Secondly, we could have improved our television capabilities. We rotated from showing the live dashboard from the booth's Zap.stream livestream, to showing Primal.net/explore Nostr statistics, to showing nostr:npub1lelkh3hhxw9hdwlcpk6q9t0xt9f7yze0y0nxazvzqjmre3p98x3sthkvyz 's Nostr Documentary on loop, to playing the Satlantis promotional video. The majority of the time our TV was playing the same Nostr Documentary. It's great! I love that video, but we may be able to work out a better schedule and rotation mechanism in the future to showcase more content equally. Plus, I don't want to always be on the TV. I don't want people getting the wrong idea. ## Nostr takeaways After speaking with hundreds of people at BTC Prague, I feel that I've discovered the best way to describe Nostr. Nostr has a portable digital social identity, allowing you to be in control of your digital social identity for the very first time, allowing you to take your entire social graph with you, every time you use a different application from Nostr's ecosystem. _Nostr is the social glue that binds all of your apps together._ In general, at BTC Prague, while explaining Nostr to people, the digital social identity route was what clicked with the most people. From there, it's not a long stretch to understand building a reputation and web of trust either. Many people do not use the "Other Stuff" and explaining to them how to use these applications is hard. People want a native application. Damus, Primal, and Amethyst seem to be the number one apps that people are using, with maybe Primal being the number one altogether? This is probably due to Primal being available on Android, iOS, and the web. Also, many people don't know that Damus still supports Zaps via the Nostr script workaround. I had to show many how to enable Zaps. ## Everyone wants Nostr at their conference There is significant interest in featuring Nostr at various conferences. Although not everyone has reached out, numerous individuals at BTC Prague expressed enthusiasm about incorporating a Nostr booth, along with several Nostr talks and sessions, into their upcoming events. They recognize the critical role Nostr and free speech play globally and acknowledge Nostr's popularity within the Bitcoin community. However, they also understand that more work is needed, and we must continue our efforts to onboard and engage new users.  I have two primary observations on this matter: - The community effort demonstrated here serves as a blueprint for success. We have proven that this approach to growing Nostr is effective, desired, and necessary. The engagement at our booth and attendance at our panels prove this with ease. - This fundraising initiative is likely a one-time effort. I cannot, in good conscience, continue to ask the community to bootstrap these endeavors. If we are to sustain these booths and promote Nostr at similar conferences, the conference organizers themselves must provide substantial support or discounts to foster broader Nostr adoption. While I understand that conferences entail significant operational costs, it is not feasible for Nostr developers and the broader Nostr community to finance these efforts continuously. Additionally, I would not feel comfortable requesting financial contributions from you all again for this purpose. ## Looking forward Will we do _this _again? I don't know. While our initial endeavor was a complete success, it would be unfortunate to cease our efforts just as we are gaining momentum. Avi and I have a lot to discuss between ourselves and a lot to discuss with all of you. **Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Thank you nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr for making all of this possible.

I wanted to take a moment to address the recent [Business Insider article](https://businessinsider.com/jack-dorsey-fiatjaf-nostr-donation-2024-6) about Jack Dorsey’s funding of Nostr. While the article has inaccuracies and it lacks nuance, this piece it’s also an invitation to all of us to discuss Nostr openly.  **Is the article true?** First things first: We do not actually know fiatjaf’s identity so we cannot weigh in on the veracity of who he is. His real identity remains a mystery to us. While we do not share Fiatjaf’s beliefs, he’s always been clear that Nostr was built to support all types of speech, even the stuff he personally disagrees with. That’s a fundamental principle of the platform. **Why is Nos built on a protocol that was built by someone who supports fascists?** Let’s clear up a major point of confusion.Merriam Webster defines fascism as: *a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.* Based on that definition, fascism is then a centralized autocratic government led by a dictatorial leader, enforcing several economic and social regimentation, and suppressing opposition. Nostr, on the other hand, is designed to prevent centralized control altogether. It’s a decentralized network where no single entity has ultimate power. Nostr is designed so there is no central authority of control. By distributing content across multiple relays, the architecture of Nostr eliminates the possibility of centralized autocratic control. Nos chose to build an app on the Nostr protocol because traditional corporate social media platforms often stifle views outside the mainstream, these also include views of leftist activists, LGBTQ community, and others. This stifling takes the form of shadow banning when people use terms that the platform doesn’t want to support such as abortion. More recently there has been an uptick in account suspensions and shadow bannings as people use reporting tools to flag accounts that support Gaza. Often the people flagging are looking at older posts and flagging those to get the accounts shutdown. On the other hand, Nos is about giving users control over their accounts, identities, and feeds. Nostr makes this possible in a way no other protocol does today. At Nos, we are committed to building an app using tools that put the user in charge and Nostr enables this user-first approach.This means that everybody has something to say, and we may not like it. **How does Nos reconcile being on a network that can’t ban people for their views?** Unlike corporate social media, such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, Nostr is built on the idea of a web of trust, meaning you only see the content from the people you follow. There are no algorithms pushing sensational content to keep you glued to your screen. Corporate platforms thrive on “engagement” and are optimized for eyeballs and time on site. Over the years, the algorithms have learned that the content that is most engaging is content that induces moral outrage in the viewer. As a result, the corporate platforms feed users more and more morally outrageous content to keep them online. As mentioned before, Nostr operates on a different principle. It’s built on a web of trust, where you only see content from people you follow: Nos and most of the other Nostr clients do not have algorithm-driven feeds, instead content from the people you follow appears in reverse chronological order in your feed. Those clients that do have algorithmic feeds today show the most popular content, but are not optimizing for morally outrageous content. This means that it is much more difficult for toxic, hateful content to go viral as there’s no behind-the-scenes mechanism amplifying content for views similar to what you have on Youtube and X today. You won’t find the same amplification of divisive content here that you see on these traditional platforms. Nos offers the ability to have “Freedom from” unwanted content at the user level. There is no central authority shutting down one account or another or blocking certain accounts. This is especially important for activists. At present on Mastodon and other ActivityPub servers, we are witnessing pro-Palestinian activists accounts’ being blocked from certain servers. While happening at a smaller level, this is still a form of shutting down the dialogue and conversation.I get it –after more than a decade of algorithmic fueled hot-takes and virtue signaling on X (formerly Twitter), it might be a bit difficult to conceive of a social media experience where dialogue exists, but the network that has evolved on top of Nostr is that space. Yes, as difficult as it sounds, Nostr allows for dialogue without central censorship. Many folks disagree on Nostr in the same way disagreements used to happen on Twitter (now X) in the early days, where there are long text based dialogues. Folks may walk away still disagreeing and a small subset get nasty, but those conversations do not spiral out of control in the same way they do on X or even on Mastodon and Bluesky today. And if things get ugly, Nos and a few other apps have user-led moderation tools to help mitigate anything that comes into replies or mentions. Nos is leading efforts to enhance user-led moderation across the network.  This discussion is crucial. We have the chance to reshape the future of decentralized social media and we can build a more open and inclusive digital space. The pathway is and will be messy. How do we balance free speech while protecting users from harmful content? What role should decentralization play in the next generation of social media platforms? I’d love to hear your thoughts and keep this conversation going.‍

I've posted some notes in the past with ideas to improve nostr, so I dug up a few and listed them here, along side with the curated feeds announcement because it feels like a big deal! These are nothing new, just some old ideas put into one post. ### Offer curated feeds to users in the UI or part of onboarding: nostr:note19yvypkcsprn53939rzkf2yqku6xullcyhm4v60fn0sghah7mqe6syvtxuw ### Label relays nostr:note1eu9e739yms2msahuuclxpf95mcc786cjrtp9m6y73eg8h7xjxx5q60gx85 ### Better default (image / video) feeds for logged out users nostr:note1hr3es5h5m0keuavzumsls8qcw86cd9s36lpc9ukxd47z7zq4wgesk9zvas ### Self-paced profile completion and badge earning to discover nostr [Figma File]https://www.figma.com/file/ThUW7QxTYT0BUxcH48uelG/Luna?type=design&node-id=0%3A1&t=emttAVmvjztFk9QO-1() nostr:note12vtxkka5zvgudv534dlsuzuld84tdyd474jgct6j5e9uv6ch0vcs7f9060 nostr:note1e24gz3spmszly7cpa9ds9ju7ccyctxdvv5jj3usl6gk8ueckdkmsgkq4fr nostr:note19rdyf9jpqg04rwqmkqnjcncjfrrqs9e5dp8evzqztpusdzxa8ejqhxkuyf ### Introduction post prompt in onboarding nostr:note13xrv039h8nexf4jaa2r4g8js28mr7evq7aakftr5q67e97e08pfqcvf5g0 Current (the client) already does an #introductions post in onboarding, and that's a great idea! ### Allow nostr long form users to build email lists nostr:note1ewrk0at4fexr7n3wdauah4kw0c8nategc403gqwvxccntky60rcqlxynaz ### Promote nostr content outside on other platforms nostr:note1um8s8w05rutzg245m058gl3kvzwqwepudkx9xj3fepeuf52r49cs9ruv3f ### A tool to help people migrate their content to nostr (nicely designed, user friendly): nostr:note1q546zcuxgwjqp6vpgh8v3hk0dw2vp0ml6phtxh223kkg8h8fudjq5qe5f2 ### Signup nostr:note17fe7vmvuk6jpw7h55f3g0s5m2ex4apuhu92mzmn3n9x6p98zkyqscv9hd0 ### Feedback Mega Note nostr:note1jsj0c4xvt26p0ap9mtkygfuej776ad0960e5r3n33m5hz7lm7rwsdzpe0g

We’re all daily users of Nostr, so it can be easy to see things through an advanced user lens while forgetting what it felt like to be a newbie. I thought I would take some time to go over major client from the start in hopes of evaluating what it might feel like for a new user. The other reason for running this review is to hopefully improve the overall nostr retention rate across clients. As it stands, according to nostr.band, retention of trusted users 30 days after signups trends to 0 for recent cohorts. This seems to be supported by the lack of growth in daily active users, with the average remaining in the 10,000-12,000 range for “trusted” pub keys. The following report consists of several criteria which I felt were essential to basic first-time social media experience: 1. Ease of signup 2. Ease of logging in 3. Ability to understand what you are looking at (sufficient explanations) 4. Seeing a good initial feed 5. Ability to follow something of interest 6. Minimizing technical /dev lingo 7. A fast scrolling experience 8. Ability to easily upload media 9. A good search experience overall 10. Good keyword searching 11. Hashtag searching 12. Ability to follow hashtags 13. Easily accessing followed hashtags 14. Good experience reacting to notes In total there are 140 points, 10 for each category. This is by far not the most comprehensive score card, but I felt it did a decent job covering most things you’d want to do in a social client. Some notes of caution: 1. This report and score card are meant to be a general quick glance at where your client may stand in overall UX. It does not differentiate between the intended target audiences. 2. The criteria that I deem important may not be important to you as the founder / developer, so take it for what it’s worth. Adding your desired criteria may increase your score significantly. For example, I did not evaluate the zap experience, or thoroughly test nested replies. 3. This report is not a substitute for proper user testing. It’s just one person’s observations. While we have done some user testing in the past, I highly recommend doing your own. You can do so by approaching and interviewing new users (if you are able to distinguish if they came from your client), or via other user testing software. Talk to me (@karnage) if you need some help getting set up. 4. People’s reported experience regarding usability may vary greatly depending on their familiarity with cryptographic concepts, their background, and technical experience. What I may deem as a great score of 10, may not be a 10 for others. I have seen user tests where “obvious” things were not obvious to testers. 5. This report only looks at the English language version of the client. The actual user experience for someone on a different language version of the app could be totally different from what is graded here. It’s worth considering geographies of where users are coming from and how they experience your client. 6. I did not test re-activation of new users. Meaning, once they close the app, I did not test if they are pulled back by some notification or other means. This is a crucial aspect of any new app usage that should be considered carefully. Tested Clients: Damus, Amethyst, Primal iOS, Snort (web), Iris (sort of), Coracle, Nostur. I also tested Instagram and X/Twitter for comparison. Results, highest points to lowest: Primal iOS: 136 Twitter: 125 Instagram: 109 Nostur: 108 Coracle: 99 Amethyst: 93 Snort: 90 Damus: 87 Iris: N/A Facebook: could not test. My main takeaway was that among all apps (including Twitter and Instagram), the traditional apps win simply by having much better content selection. You get to see a variety of interesting things that Nostr simply can’t match. Going forward, this is an area I would probably recommend focusing on - how to engage people to post more interesting content, onboard creators etc… Nostr is lacking in content and I believe this could be the primary reason people are not sticking around after trying it. ### Other Nostr Notes: There seemed to be little of interesting topics to follow or stick around for. The experience of joining nostr doesn't feel special or different in any way opposed to X for example. Twitter has interesting accounts, TikTok has interesting videos, what does Nostr have? The lack of "popular" conent due to the generally low number of users is probably to blame. In a way we suffer from the chicken / egg problem where new users are needed to generate more content, and more content is needed to retain new users. Going forward, I think clients should think about ways to encourage users to share content (whether that be their own, or posted from other platforms). Nostr also does not seem to have any external growth loops. For example, there is no way to invite people to the platform by email with a single click (by accessing the address book). Even if a friend does manage to join and you can find them, they are in no way notified when tagged (as far as I know). People have to have a habit of opening the app to know if something is happening. The habit formation of using a new app is important in the early usage phase and nostr seems to have a weak spot here. You can find all of the detailed scoring, notes for each client and other thoughts in this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14w8-aQ1sHfGBSuNpqvOA9i7PHNSfhn6lUOV6H293caw/edit?usp=sharing

Fathers Day seems like a good time to launch Parent Corner. I'm hoping this will catch on as an irregularly recurring series. It's inspired by the segment of the same name on The Bill Simmons Podcast. The idea is pretty straightforward: just share a recent parenting anecdote or thought (ideally one that has happened since the previous parent corner). What better way to describe parenting than ~mostly_harmless? As such, I'm volunteering @elvismercury's territory to house this series. I'd love it if other stackers initiated these in the future, when they had parenting stuff to share. * * # My daughter (4 years old) has been making "swings" for her stuffed animals for the past couple of weeks. She's been greatly delighting in pushing them on their "swings" and, of course, making us do so too. The thing is, these swings always end up looking like her animals have been executed by hanging. They swing from the top of our staircase down into the living room. If we didn't get everything tidied up from the day before, I wake up and go downstairs to be surprised by quite the gruesome scene. It's such a stark example of innocence that to her it's just her stuffies enjoying a nice swing. cc: @grayruby, @cryotosensei, @gnilma, @bief57, @anniedustan (apologies if I omitted anyone)

# Bitcoin Capitalism ## But who would build the roads? Discussing who would build the roads is the classic intellectual excersize of anarchists, everywhere. Would everyone build the stretch in front of, and within, their property? Would private entities build the roads and charge a toll? Would roads fall into disarray and we'd use more rugged vehicles, such as mule-drawn carts and offroad vehicles? Would we eventually abandon the wheel and switch to camels and hovercraft? Most discussion participants assume it will devolve down into some combination, but Bitcoin might put a break on the toll road option. Bitcoin rises in purchasing power so quickly and inexorably, that any complex, long-term, expensive project becomes an investment with guaranteed negative nominal returns and a high probability of negative real returns. You would struggle to demand tolls at a price high enough to cover the nominal costs of the initial investment (although they might cover maintenance and running costs), and the tolls you could demand would steadily shrink in nominal terms. ## Bitcoin reduces the investment profit motive The [Cambridge Dictionary](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/de/worterbuch/englisch/investing) describes investing as: >to put money, effort, time, etc. into something to **make a profit** or get an advantage Bitcoin means that you make a monetary profit by saving capital, rather than by deploying it. To deploy Bitcoin is always to simply spend it. The capital is consumed. Gone. Poof! Whereas if you simply hodl it, you will rapidly grow wealthier and wealthier without commiserate effort. There will be no such thing as a profitable return on investment because the best returns will always be in savings. Your best financial bet is always to save all of your Bitcoin and use the infrastructure other people have built, at great loss to themselves. ## This is correct This is actually how capitalism should work. It is not an error. Someone or a group of someones deploys capital, first, to build something, and they alone hold the risk of failure. They do it without expecting their (entire, nominal) capital returned because they value the building planned more than the capital trapped in it. The capital invested is primarily transformed, rather than returned, and the invested capital raises the living standard for everyone who then uses the building. This is actually high-time preference behavior called "patronage". This is not the opposite of saving, but something often done in addition to it. It is investment devoid of a financial profit motive. ## We have come full-circle What Bitcoin does, in perpetuity, is raise the risk of capital so high that a financial loss is expected, so capital deployments beyond those required for personal consumption will only come from the generous and the particularly far-sighted. Bitcoin moves investments out of the purely financial realm back into a preference for the public good and a willingness to sacrifice, with returns often being tokens of gratitude, special privileges, increased social standing, hopes of indirect business advantage, or promises of treasure in the afterlife, rather than direct returns of capital, or even profits. Who will build the roads? The nobility, the pious, the ambitious middle class, and the volunteering tradesmen will build the roads, just as they once built the cathedrals.... and the roads.

In the ever-evolving landscape of content management systems (CMS), finding a solution that is both powerful and user-friendly can be challenging, with endless opins and various design choices. **Servus** emerges as a revolutionary option, providing a comprehensive, self-contained CMS, personal Nostr relay, and Blossom server—all within a single executable file [Servus Relay and Blossom Server](https://github.com/servuscms/servus). This take delves into the unique features and benefits of Servus, arguing that it represents a significant step forward for those seeking control and simplicity in managing their web content. ### Why Choose Servus? **Servus** stands out in the crowded field of CMS options by offering a combination of simplicity, control, and efficiency that is hard to match. Traditional systems like Jekyll and WordPress each have their strengths, but they also come with notable drawbacks. Servus bridges the gap, offering the best of both worlds without their respective downsides.  ### The Case for Servus **1. Seamless Integration and Simplicity** Unlike Jekyll, which requires a complex setup involving Ruby Gems and web servers, Servus simplifies the process significantly. There is no build step, no need for a web server like Nginx, and no requirement for GitHub Pages. Servus operates as a single executable file, making it incredibly easy to set up and use. This simplicity is particularly advantageous for beginners who might find traditional CMS setups daunting. **2. Comprehensive Admin Interface** Servus includes an intuitive admin interface, a feature often missed in Jekyll. This interface allows users to manage their content effortlessly, similar to WordPress but without the heavy dependencies on MySQL or Apache. The admin interface ensures that even those with minimal technical expertise can navigate and control their websites effectively. **3. Personal Nostr Relay and Data Control** In a digital age where data control is paramount, Servus offers a personal Nostr relay, ensuring that you have complete ownership and control over your data. Unlike relying on external Nostr relays, Servus allows you to be the canonical source of your data, enhancing security and longevity. **4. Blossom Server for Complete Data Management** Servus extends beyond text-based content management by acting as a personal Blossom server. This feature ensures that your images and other media are as manageable and secure as your text content, providing a comprehensive solution for all your data. ### Addressing Potential Concerns **Performance Limitations** While Servus excels in many areas, it is not designed to be a high-performance, general-purpose Nostr relay. Its primary focus is on serving websites and managing personal data rather than handling large volumes of Nostr events in real-time. For users primarily concerned with web content management, this limitation is unlikely to be a significant issue. **Experimental Nature and Technical Requirements** Servus is still experimental and may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those without a basic understanding of Linux command line, cargo, SSL certificates, and DNS. However, for those willing to engage with these technical aspects, Servus offers unparalleled control and flexibility. Furthermore, the developer's commitment to building a solid foundation suggests that the platform will become more user-friendly over time. ### The Future of CMS: Servus' Goals **Self-Contained and Easy to Deploy** Servus aims to be a completely self-contained CMS that requires no additional software or complex configurations. This goal ensures that users can deploy their personal websites quickly and efficiently, whether on a local machine or a VPS. **Plain Text Content Storage** All content and settings in Servus are stored as plain text files, making backups and data migration straightforward. This approach aligns with the principle of simplicity and control, allowing users to manage their content without the need for SQL databases or cloud storage. **Minimal Client-Side Dependencies** Servus serves all content as plain HTML, eliminating the need for client-side JavaScript. This design choice enhances performance and compatibility, ensuring that websites load quickly and function smoothly across all browsers. **Support for Themes and Multiple Websites** Servus supports customizable themes and the ability to manage multiple websites from a single instance. This flexibility allows users to create aesthetically pleasing, functional websites without being limited by the platform's architecture. ### Case In Closing **Servus** is a groundbreaking CMS that combines the simplicity of a single executable file with the power of a comprehensive content management system, personal Nostr relay, and Blossom server. It addresses the limitations of traditional CMS platforms like Jekyll and WordPress, offering a user-friendly interface, complete data control, and easy deployment. While it remains experimental and requires some technical knowledge, Servus represents a significant advancement in the realm of self-hosted content management systems. For those seeking a robust, flexible, and efficient CMS solution, Servus is undeniably worth exploring.

Over the years my way of viewing the world has evolved. This has mostly affected how I interact with other people. As I have learned how to view the world through a new set of lenses I gain understanding of the world and also the people around me. Most of us probably see this in others but do we see it in ourselves? What lenses have you added to your set? What lenses do you see others using? For me I see most people viewing the world through the lens they are given each day. The first is politics. Basically this comes from the news they consume and the friends in their circle. Few actually question these lenses. They think anyone that has a different view outside of the "norm" is crazy or maybe dangerous. Here is my list of lenses. Are their any I've missed? * Personal benefit/profit * Politics * Incentives * Cycles * Patterns * Economics * Religion * Human nature * Culture * Bitcoin

Narratives are a way of simplifying a really complicated world. Compelling ones follow story structures that we’re used to seeing: a villain and a hero, a bad developer versus a mother who’s struggling to get her kids through college. These kinds of narratives are compelling because there’s a spark of truth in them, which is that there are power struggles in the world; there are winners and losers. Many narratives stick because they reaffirm our own opinions and views, but that can be really dangerous: Just because something feels true doesn’t mean that it is. The narratives that don’t stick are usually the ones that are more complicated. There isn’t always a clear-cut good guy and bad guy. Often we’re just existing in systems where a bunch of people act in their own self-interest; some of them are trying to do good, but people have different conceptions of what good is. Trying to describe a world full of that kind of complexity is not as satisfying. -- someone, not me. we need to remember this when we start believing narratives that we hear in our feedback loops. we need to remember this when we blame other people for how broken shit is. we need to remember this when when we want to believe we are special or in on some secret that no one else knows. we need to remember this when we believe we are the heroes and they are the foes. we need to remember this when we believe someone else will make everything better for us. we need to remember that we are always being given a narrative. bitcoin provides financial sovereignty, but it's nothing without mental sovereignty. a sovereign individual does not fall for the narratives because they don't need permission to think for themselves. we need to remember "These kinds of narratives are compelling because there’s a spark of truth in them, which is that there are power struggles in the world; there are winners and losers." bitcoin is for enemies > bitcoin allows enemies to work together > bitcoin makes us all winners. if you're going to fall for a narrative anyways, it might as well be this one.

The **router reserves the IP address** of the device **for a time after going out**, but if the device goes out soo time, the next time that the device starts, the router could assign a different IP and you could lose access to your node. To avoid this, you need to **set a static IP to your MiniBolt**. In addition, you can **customize your DNS servers to improve your privacy**, normally your ISP, gives you the router with its own DNS servers set by default, and this does that you expose all of your navigation trackings to your ISP, affecting seriously your privacy.

It turns out that Ubuntu Linux installations of Ubuntu 23.04, 22.04.3 LTS, and installs done since April 2023 that accepted the Snap version update haven't been following Ubuntu's own recommended security best practices for their security pocket configuration for packages. A new Subiquity release [was issued](https://github.com/canonical/subiquity/releases/tag/23.09.1) to fix this problem while those on affected Ubuntu systems already installed are recommended to manually edit their `/etc/apt/sources.list` file. If you didn't install MiniBolt recently, **you are affected by this bug**, and we need to fix that manually if not we want to install all since cero. Anyway, if you installed Minibolt recently, we recommend you review that. Follow these easy steps to review and fix this: * Edit the `sources-list` file: ``` sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list ``` * Search now for every line that includes '-security' (without quotes) (normally at the end of the file) and change the URL to --> http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu For example, from http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu (or the extension corresponding to your country) to --> http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu Real case, Spain location, **before fix**: ``` deb http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security main restricted # deb-src http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security main restricted deb http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security universe # deb-src http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security universe deb http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security multiverse # deb-src http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security multiverse ``` **After fix:** ``` deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security main restricted # deb-src http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security main restricted deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security universe # deb-src http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security universe deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security multiverse # deb-src http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security multiverse ``` **Save and exit**. (Ctrl-X, y, enter) **Note:** If you have already these lines changed, you are not affected by this bug, and is not necessary to do anything. Simply exit the editor by doing Ctrl-X * Finally, type the next command to refresh the repository pointers: ``` $ sudo apt update ``` And optionally take the opportunity to update the system by doing: ``` $ sudo apt full-upgrade ``` More context: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#What_repositories_and_pockets_should_I_use_to_make_sure_my_systems_are_up_to_date.3F https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/2033977 https://www.phoronix.com/news/Ubuntu-Security-Pocket-Issue

Notice to node MiniBolt runners: It turns out that the I2P devs have opened an issue on the Bitcoin Core GitHub repo commenting that because they gave the option to enable the `notransit=true` parameter in the official documentation: [...] If you prefer not to relay any public I2P traffic and only allow I2P traffic from programs connecting through the SAM proxy, e.g. Bitcoin Core, you can set the no transit option to true [...] are having a heavy load on the I2P network since last December 19. Also comment that it is advisable to share as much bandwidth and transit tunnels as we can, to increase anonymity with coverage traffic, by contributing more to the I2p network than we consume. So they ask that we deactivate that option that you use activated. With all this, he already updated the "Privacy" section by removing that setting. The steps to delete this configuration once we have already configured it, are the following: With the "admin" user, stop i2pd: ``` $ sudo systemctl stop i2pd ``` Comment line 93 with "#" at the beginning of it (notransit = true), save and exit ``` $ sudo nano /var/lib/i2pd/i2pd.conf --line numbers ``` Start i2pd again: ``` $ sudo systemctl start i2pd ``` And that's it, you could take a look at Bitcoin Core to see that it has detected i2pd running again after the reboot with: ``` $ tail --lines 500 -f /home/bitcoin/.bitcoin/debug.log ``` If for whatever reason you don't see that I2P is up in Bitcoin Core after the restart, `$ sudo systemctl restart bitcoind` and look again at the logs of the same More info in the rollback commit: https://github.com/twofaktor/minibolt/commit/99cae67a5150bb5b7deae3674cc958eb31c74a75

I'm happy to announce the release of NDK 2.8 which comes with a plethora of new performance improvements, threading capabilities and many many other things. TL;DR: - Optimistic signature-verification - Threaded signature-verification - Threads, threads, threads! s/o nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc - Dexie cache adapter becomes massively more efficient Onwards 🫡 ## Performance boost ### Optimistic signature-verification NDK can now be configured to perform signature verification of events asynchronously. This means that events are assumed to be valid and pushed to a queue. When an invalid signature is received, a global event is emitted for the application to handle accordingly (i.e. alert the user, disconnect from the evil relay, etc) ### Web Worker Signature Verification Signature verification can be offloaded to a web worker (meaning that it runs on it's own thread) with the `workers/sig-verification` that comes with NDK. Other web workers can be implemented and hooked to NDK. ### Dexie Cache Adapter Improvements This cache adapter now works mostly as an LRU in-memory cache; while using IndexDB mostly just as a persistence storage. ## Threading nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc has paved the way to show how broken thread rendering is in nostr multiple-times. This release includes a bunch of helper functions that should make proper thread rendering incredibly obvious. When fetching events, these functions can be used to make sense of what's the right ordering, what are replies, what is part of the main thread, etc. The main entry point to these threading utility functions is `eventThreads`, which can be provided a set of fetched events and will return, in order, the events that belong to the thread. All other events can be rendered as replies. There are many more very useful functions along with it that can be found on `src/threads`. Examples of how to use these can be found on the open sourced Highlighter codebase.

I'm having some pain in my heart about the U.S. elections.  Ever since Obama campaigned for office, an increase of young voters have come out of the woodwork. Things have not improved. They've actively told you that "**your vote matters.**" I believe this to be a lie unless any citizen can demand at the gate, at the White House to be allowed to hold and point a gun to the president's head. (**Relax**, this is a hyperbole) Why so dramatic? Well, what does the president do? Sign bills, commands the military, nominates new Fed chairman, ambassadors, supreme judges and senior officials all while traveling in luxury planes and living in a white palace for four years. They promised **Every TIME** to protect citizen rights when they take the oath and office. *...They've broken this several times, with so-called "emergency-crisis"*  The purpose of a president, today, it seems is to basically hire armed thugs to keep the citizens in check and make sure you "voluntarily continue to be a slave," to the system, hence the IRS. The corruption extends from the cop to the judge and even to politicians. The politicians get paid from lobbyists to create bills in congress for the president to sign. There's no right answer when money is involved with politicians. It is the same if you vote Obama, Biden, Trump, or Haley. They will wield the pen to serve themselves to **say** it will benefit the country. In the first 100 years of presidency, the government wasn't even a big deal. They didn't even interfere with your life as much as they do today.  ^^ You hold the **power** in your hands, don't let them take it. Don't believe me? Try to get a loan from a bank without a signature. Your signature is as good as gold (if not better) and is an original trademark. Just Don't Vote. End the Fed. Opt out.  ^^ I choose to form my own path, even if it means leaving everything I knew prior. It doesn't have to be a spiritual thing. Some, have called me religious because of this. We're all capable of greatness and having humanity. ✨Don't have a machine heart with a machine mind. Instead, choose to have a heart like the cowardly lion from the "**Wizard Of Oz.**" There's no such thing as a good president or politicians. If there was, they would have issued *non-interest* **Federal Reserve Notes.** Lincoln and Kennedy tried to do this, they got shot. There's still a banner of America there, but it's so far gone that I cannot even recognize it. However, I only see a bunch of 🏳‍🌈 pride flags. ✨Patrick Henry got it wrong, when he delivered his speech, "Give me liberty or give me death." Liberty and freedom are two completely different things. Straightforward from Merriam-Webster Choose Right or left?  No control, to be 100% without restrictions- free.  ✨I disagree with the example sentence given. Because you cannot advocate for human freedom and own slaves, it's contradicting it. Which was common in the founding days. I can understand many may disagree with me, and you might be thinking, "**This time will be different.**" I, respectfully, disagree, and the proxy wars are proof. Learn the importance of Bitcoin, every **Satoshi** is a step away from corruption. ✨What does it look like to pull the curtains from the "**Wizard of Oz?**"  Have you watched the video below, what 30 Trillion dollars in debt looks like visually? Even I was blown away. https://video.nostr.build/d58c5e1afba6d7a905a39407f5e695a4eb4a88ae692817a36ecfa6ca1b62ea15.mp4  I say this with love. Hear my plea? Normally, I don't write about anything political. It just feels like a losing game. My energy feels it's in better use to learn new things, write and to create. Even a simple blog post as simple as this. Stack SATs, and stay humble. <3 Onigirl

For whatever reason, this thought experiment popped into my head last night: What is the most talented roster you could put together that would still probably not win a championship? I think this really gets into what we think winning basketball looks like and what traits winning players have. ### My 5 C: Embiid (health, motor, chokes) F: KAT (dumb, motor) F: Zion (health, fitness, motor) G: Harden (fitness, motor, chokes) G: Trae (motor, culture) Am I too down on these guys? Would that team win a title? Did I overlook someone? Who's your best 5 that wouldn't win a title?

# Why Nostr needs writers ... and how you can be one. ## Literary art deserves a suitable frame I have repeatedly suggested that people who are inclined to truly write, in an informative or artistic (a.k.a. "high signal") manner, switch from merely posting micro-blogging (kind 01) notes to long-form notes, wiki pages, and community notes. These OtherStuff articles are contained within new types of events and are handled differently by potential readers and algorithms. It is true that the engagement you receive will be much lower (at least, initially), and this content may not be very popular, but: - the articles will be more long-lasting on the relays and others will likely pay to archive them for you, - the direct responses will tend to consider the article in its entirety, rather than merely using them to grandstand or straw-man, - the articles are easily editable and will soon be versioned, to allow for both change and traceability, - articles will increasingly be moved to the forefront of new types of clients, so you will be part of the pioneer subset for those clients, - the complex structure encourages you to write more complex material, - the notes will draw more attention from those arriving late to the conversation, - and they will create a gallery of your "best of" and "essential me" for potential followers to peruse. ## Expand the knowledge base Nostr developers are an exhausted and harried group, that is trying to build under duress on a rather thin budget, with mile-long roadmaps and nagging users hounding them the whole way. The last thing these devs want to do is write software documentation. But documentation is actually one of their most important forms of marketing to new users and documentation writing and maintenance often inadvertently uncovers bugs and workflows that need to be redesigned. The simple solution is to have their most-enthusiastic users writing the documentation for them, which is now simple to do, with the wikis that are being built. Simply find your favorite apps and begin documenting things you typically do with those apps, or write an overview page showcasing your favorite features, including screenshots. Not only is this useful for later users, it's free advertisement for those apps and it lends the weight of your WoT (Web of Trust) to their endeavor. You are showing, through proof of work, that you care enough about this developer and their efforts that you'd spend your free-time writing about them. That is the strongest recommendation you can make. ## Make Nostr more attractive to search engines Search engines are the gatekeepers of the Internet. Applications don't necessarily rise to popularity because of the "clout" of the people who write there. They rise because readers from outside of those applications found the content within them useful, entertaining, or informative. Although social media drama and influencing can make for a fun read, if you like that sort of thing, it isn't generally what someone who isn't familiar with the actors in the argument would bother reading. It looks like squabbling, mogging, tribalism, and gamesmanship, to outsiders. Which is what it is. Most people eventually weary of it or being involved in it. Much more useful is the a compendium of ideas pulled together by an individual npub (human or not), and forced to go head-to-head with counterarguments contained in a separate, but jointly-listed compendium. This format eschews the more emotive forms of rhetoric (pathos and ethos) and encourages someone to engage and debate on a more intellectual level (logos). This is the idea behind the Nostr wiki, and I heartily support it. Make dialectic great again. ## Escape the scourge of AI Don't bother telling me that AI makes human writing obsolete. It rather makes it a more-exclusive endeavor, by reducing the scope of the content to something more reflective of the person writing. Yes, ChatGPT can write articles, but whether they are "better" is subjective. They have fewer minor flaws and cater more to general tastes, and can be produced quickly and in high numbers, at relatively low cost. The same way that robot-created art is "better" than most human-created art, or factory-produced food is "better" than most home-cooked food. I'm only writing for the sort of person who prefers human art. Writing can be an expression of the self and a window to the soul. Read what I write because you want to know what I really thought. I thought this.
