I’d like to see an open source version of dndbeyond built in Nostr. Not sure how that would look, but at least you’d own your character sheet/profile the end of the day.
An old-time MUD client or even multiplayer BBS-like game. 🤷‍♂️

I’m not a farmer and don’t have a strong understanding, but after listening to a recent Mises podcast (The Human Action Podcast) on the subject of healthcare, I’ll chime in anyway. Lol.
There were some parallels, but can’t think of a parallel solution.
Involvement in the market by the government only serves to interfere with market signals and creative destruction; no matter how well-intentioned the intervention is. I think I’ve heard you cover this in past podcasts, and was reminded of another government intervention by a friend that was particularly interesting to those living in Missouri.
We store 1.4 billion pounds of cheese in Missouri caves!! I had no idea. Interesting example of Government intervention and waste.
https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/44728/20230706/inside-missouri-cheese-cave-why-u-s-government-store-billion.htm
Insurance is a great idea. Government subsidized insurance sounds cheesy. 😏
But if you’re trying to run a farm and compete within our current system I’d imagine you’ll jump at the opportunity. Just like you’d use glyphosate to increase crop yields. How else can you compete in our system. Also reminds me @npub1s05…eyhe comments on not being able to change a bad system from within. Not suggesting a solution aside from these discussions and consumer education. Just hoping we can find a way to support our local producers and provide healthier food and topsoil.

I definitely feel that. I’m in the security industry, but not the sovereign “don’t trust, verify” side of things. A bit like going to a podiatrist when you need a neurosurgeon. I work in cucked environments that rely heavily on third-party, closed source solutions.
So I’m still learning and need both @npub1rxy…hnp8 -type tutorials along with fundamentals. He does provide a good balance of both most of the time.
Ex: Somebody asked about setting up a time-lock contract for their bitcoin yesterday. Was searching around. Found lots of resources, but a straightforward simple tutorial followed by fundamentals is not so easy to find. Somebody suggested GPT.
Have you experimented with Spirit of Satoshi yet? Perhaps that could fill that void. I wonder if it has been trained on Start9, Umbrel tutorials and the like. Thinking it’s time to check it out.

Same experience about a year ago, but had migrated the first Embassy to a NASPi and the later migrated to an old Optiplex. I just restored my entire Start9 on it. Worked great, but your approach is probably better.
Now I’m learning my lesson and breaking my services based on performance and usage, and trying to leverage proxmox now.
The improvements have made for some struggles along the way, but I feel they balanced the move very well and I was able navigate. Grandmas of the world can’t operate them yet, but hopefully they’ve got some Grandson Jim’s to host their Vaultwarden.
FOSS projects like @npub126n…e9ll are essential if we want to avoid the centralized stockades. There’s an interesting parallel to the @npub12pl…42wq avoiding the giant processors. In this comparison we are the cattle and our information is the meat.

I found it hard to follow, but only about halfway through. They started discussing some nuances of what sounded like one form, or example of a private city. Then devolved into narratives and imagery of parades and a “black mirror” future.
I don’t know much about what Balaji is proposing, but I can’t begin to understand if they don’t clarify with definitions.
They mention something about bribing the police, but didn’t discuss the nature of the bribe. There are types of bribes. Both licit and elicit. If this is private city, explain the structure of security and how the economy works. Then explain the transaction.
Doesn’t sound like Balaji did himself any favors though. Conjuring images of a grey pride parade is surely someone’s black mirror episode. Perhaps let people envision their own map and just describe how the economy works.
As long as we’re putting our imagery out there, I imagined Balaji playing the part of Uncle Enzo from Snow Crash.

Not for certain on this stock pic but I was running an Apple II+.

It’s a little weird at first because you’re not being told what to look at. No real feeds except live universe. Take your time and find people and content that interests you.

I’m sorry. The fibromyalgia sounds debilitating. This Huberman lab ep. is my current understanding. I’m sure you’ve investigated far more than I can fathom. But I’d be remiss not to pass it along. It’s a riveting episode but 59 minutes in he discusses fibromyalgia in-depth, and several promising treatments (which you may already be familiar with). It sounds that they’ve isolated some areas associated in the glia toll4 receptor. I hope you find something useful from this or find a another path to relief. 🫂

Whether it be deletions, blocks, or encryption people should be informed that once information is out, there is no guarantee. Mechanisms to stop duplication can give a false sense of security for the uninformed… if they’re not informed.
I do like the idea of the sender being able to tag something that is “intended to be confidential”. And I’d likely choose a client that enforced this automatically.
Deletion requests are great too, but should be labeled in some way as “requests”. No guarantee.
If it’s decentralized we must expect a market to arise for surveillance and marketing. I’m not saying we shouldn’t have tools to thwart this, but we should lead with education & personal responsibility.

It’s really tough with Huberman Lab because the material is so dense. Without confidence I’ll say that caffeine is a an adenosine antagonist. We have reserves of adenosine leftover after a night’s rest. According to the studies he cited you should allow 90ish minutes for your adenosine stores to be depleted before ingesting caffein after waking up. This also avoids the midday crash.

Shouldn’t we consider all posts permanent until webs of trust develop in private channels. A new user may have a false sense of security thinking something isn’t permanent. It’s out there, and will be collected if it can be collected.
Sort of presses on a need for private torrents/galaxies/channels so people can distinguish the difference. Public commons vs encrypted webs of trust.
TTLs would be extremely useful! They just don’t protect against surveillance and to some extent permanency.
