I darned $40 worth of socks with this $15 kit this weekend instead of throwing them out, and repaired the pockets on two jackets that would have been $30 each to have repaired at the seamstress. I’d say that’s a $100 DCA justification. Time spent: 3 hours while listening to podcasts. I never would have done it if I had never lowered my time preference and started saving in #bitcoin .

I don’t. It’s nice when someone likes a post or sends some sats but if I see a post about someone being all excited about their follower count and encouraging people to share posts so they can hit “x” number by the end of the day, I just mute them for a week.

My employer came to me today and asked me if I could square him away on “Bitcoin stuff”.
He was pretty blown away that I already had a Bitcoin educational website built that I linked him to, and a full curriculum developed for teaching people about BTC acquisition, custody, transaction and security.
In five minutes I gave him enough material to easily keep him going for a couple of weeks, while he waits for his first signing devices and key storage hardware to show up.
I’m stressing the need to really understand the asset. And the need to stay current on best practices for the technical side of self custody. It’s not for everybody. Especially for people conditioned to using custodians for all of their investing and finance. So many people can’t even manage their passwords without relying on 2FA means of regularly recovering them.
I hope he knows what he’s in for, becoming his own bank…..manager, teller, head of IT, and head of security. I shudder to think. I hope he doesn’t rug himself by taking this responsibility lightly.
In a few weeks I’ll test his knowledge and whether or not he’s taking things seriously or not by offering to punch his seed phrases for 100k sats per set lol. Maybe make him number 3 on a two-of-three. Just because I care. Lol 😂

Here’s a rough graph showing milk production over a 3-year period. Each lactation cycle lasts 10 months, followed by a 2-month dry period. This results in 6 months without milk over 3 years.
Here’s a rough breakdown of the lactation cycle of a dairy cow over a standard 3-year period:
1. Lactation Period (~10 months per cycle)
• After calving, a cow produces milk for about 305 days (10 months).
• Peak milk production occurs around 60–90 days post-calving.
• Production gradually declines after that.
2. Dry Period (~2 months per cycle)
• About 60 days (2 months) before the next calving, the cow is “dried off” (stops producing milk) to allow her body to recover for the next lactation.
3. Gestation (~9 months per cycle)
• A cow is usually bred again around 60–90 days after calving.
• This means she is pregnant for about 7 months while still producing milk.
• The last 2 months of pregnancy overlap with the dry period.
Three-Year Overview
Assuming a consistent breeding cycle, the pattern repeats every year:
• 10 months of milk production
• 2 months of no milk (dry period)
In a 3-year span (36 months):
• 30 months producing milk
• 6 months dry (not producing milk) https://image.nostr.build/c55eead2963a16c6077f793cc375b77e4f5a4caf0ae0952748279cac5eb5b932.png

So much prepping, so little time. But I’m moving in a direction as my gear budget and time outside of the mines allow.
Mesh is next. My main ally in RL has an electronics background working on jets and he is excited about it too. We both took note of how this technology shone after Helene.
I want to get a couple of nodes up in the area. But it is unique geography here. Flat with river valleys below the horizon. I might have to scale a microwave tower or two lol.
When I was reading about the origins of the cypherpunk movement and Paul Rosenberg’s book, I immediately thought about how we can get around metadata trails and make connections with likeminded people without any traces. And filter out moles. That’s the big one.
I don’t like what I’m seeing in the EU. It’s coming this way. We need to build around it.
The thing I’m wrestling with right now is whether we can hope to do the things we need to do to effect change in this country without getting picked off.
We really need to have a general strike IMO. Historically it’s the only thing that has changed the direction of nations without a lot of casualties. But most people don’t even have 72 hours of provisions laid up to weather missing a single paycheck, let alone a dozen of them.
Maybe I should just focus on the garden and teaming up with locals and leave it to the next generation. But I want to make a difference.

I was a preparedness maximalist (“prepper”) long before I was a Bitcoiner.
I was thinking today about the benefits of that. Especially when it comes to surviving, thriving, and transacting value if SHTF.
Day to day survival, private communications, data security, sovereign computing and off-grid-capable transacting of value could one day not be as easy as they are today.
Here are the pillars that I think such an approach sits on:
Immediate defensibility of your family and property. Shelter, heat, and guns….lots of guns.
Bugging in vs bugging out planning
Proximity to- and plans to safely/conveniently access viable water sources.
Establishing a couple weeks or months of rations, and practicing producing/preserving food at home.
Building your team and your within-walking-distance network of friends, patriots and trade partners
Filling in the gaps in your supply chain via creative means
Acquisition, storage and protection of tradeable hard goods in advance of SHTF
Cultivating skills you can trade
Uninterruptible Power
EMP protection
Backup Power (long term)
Computer, operating system, mobile device and Bitcoin hardware selection for SHTF. Including considerations for any device battery dependencies.
Options for fixed, portable satellite, radio, and Mesh network solutions for internet connectivity and personal comms
Strategies and team building for re-establishment of order
Does anyone have any others?
I am optimistic that we may see a restoration of the promise that was the American dream, but if we don’t, let’s not get caught with our pants down. 🤙🏽

If you’re working 40-60 hours a week and you have kids and/or a stay at home wife, you should never have to touch a mower other than to do oil and air filter services and touching up the blades. My Dad usually had another 20 hours of work on bigger projects to cram into his weekend on top of getting us to sports and out into the bush. Despite grumbling through it sometimes, three hours of lawn cutting with a push mower made a great first chore for teaching us how to work and earn a bit of allowance. In the winter it’d be replaced by shovelling and blowing snow and hauling firewood and chucking it down a window well chute and stacking it in the basement wood room. In the spring it would be me and my sister running a tractor up and down the fields picking rocks prior to planting. Without the benefit of growing up on a farm, lawn mowing is for today’s suburb dwelling kids one of the best and first excuses to teach them to be useful. https://image.nostr.build/c16ff9320784a3f407cc8c6d721cb3bd7a0accfb0416b250e5dafbd22a1cda8a.jpg https://image.nostr.build/2fcb56afe79412e1b23c4ea7ef5776f848a99ad31dfdaea89ca12a22c1e7d3fe.jpg https://image.nostr.build/b1adff833bf42a4c47579a91c6c9a6f57f83d520347fc864b56bb77b29abc485.jpg

A guy at work who I know understands sound money to the extent that he has acquired some metals, and has shown an interest in learning more about Bitcoin sent me an invite code today because he’s all excited about Pi coin mining on his phone. 🤦🏽‍♂️
He had his whole identity stolen less than a year ago. Because I actually care about the guy, here’s what I replied:
“I can’t get into this because it’s not open source, its not on a public ledger, it’s not decentralized, it’s not based on a proof of work mining model and I can’t find any verifiable info about the issuance schedule or whether a bunch of it was pre-mined by the developers prior to launch. The charts don’t even have a supply cap or circulating supply number available.
Bitcoin has a 16 year head start on any of these new crypto projects, is secured by a proof of work network with 99.9% uptime, has serious institutional, corporate and nation state adoption, and is secured on an open ledger with an issuance schedule and supply cap verifiable by anyone with a computer.
Mining some Pi on your phone might be harmless but I’d think twice about parting with any real money purchasing it on an exchange now that it has gone live.
It looks like thousands of other pump and dump rug pulls waiting to happen, unless they open up the ledger and the source code to scrutiny.
You can’t convert Pi to cash without supplying a bunch of KYC info to the devs. It’s going to be a huge honeypot of customers’ KYC, device and contact info for hackers. Careful who you give your info to. “
To which he replied “K thanks.”

I was down there and it was flipping cold. We parked at the Arboretum several miles from downtown to avoid license plate cameras and checkpoints, took an Uber to the Natural History Museum and hiked the rest of the way to the parliament grounds from there. After the SHTF, we ended up out at a camp west of town in Arnprior with about a hundred others who had been down for the week before the baton squad started in. It was really shitty weather but many of us had brought firewood so there were a number of bonfires going and a large event tent with frost fighter heaters blowing in. Never been prouder than meeting some of the people I met there from across the country that had driven for days to show up.

Another rough day at the office. Patrolling electrical transmission lines for a bid. All cross country, miles from driveable roads, 3 hours from home. Made it back to the truck and trailer in the tracked side by side with only one bar of fuel left. Fun day! Lots of Moose, Deer, Coyote and Wolf sign, and even got a rare glance of a Bobcat. I can’t believe I scored a few pictures of him! https://image.nostr.build/fd4a7f56505c514cb3e800bb4d609c9b958d95bc831f48cbea126e2960d2bdd9.jpg https://image.nostr.build/3fc6c5e7bc7f860c71a00c94750df366b3fa62435369b57e0f333f0aff5c05ed.jpg https://image.nostr.build/e28def7633f202d5ffacb5069c074ff630f04610304eb0e05532fd825f2226ee.jpg https://image.nostr.build/a0c4c5a21e3d63be9a02d6323da104e4ef7486e53ca8b2993c2787009fc2b768.jpg https://image.nostr.build/d539b12369a92e0afba597408661812a6ff4e09f2bf509816fb5ec55255e7bfe.jpg https://image.nostr.build/6c01b483e244e362bebceeed8189642884beb90ce2d0053224b05bc326fb5add.jpg https://image.nostr.build/b50e96008076b44141946d12cc6d13304d191c7ba524b67612355312c224cef9.jpg

Hey @npub1v5u…n0v5 , any plans to enable Nostr Wallet Connect so we can zap our fav podcasters without using the onboard Fountain wallet? I’d use Fountain a lot more. And zap more creators.

Here’s a feature wall in progress in the new office lobby. Once all of the wood is on, there will be a little faux wood stove tucked in the corner. Should be cozy. #woodstr #grownostr https://image.nostr.build/6d059d3cffa94ac9d00a6c60c51b4ab21088f25b16b92920432cca32dba90ed8.jpg https://image.nostr.build/35273e825005c825ea976dd5e377088c35eb527c9ee980fc30dbeb39b0fa36a6.jpg

All I really want to do is be able to connect primal web to my Alby hub without it setting up a new npub. I just tried it and while I can use the Alby browser extension to connect to Primal web in chrome, once I am into Primal web there is no way to log in as my existing xpub.

Everything has worked perfectly. Just a little sleep deprived. I have local and Tor access to my Start9 node and file server, and even worked out and tested a total system imaging and restoration scheme with Clonezilla.
After I had everything working, I intentionally wiped and restored the whole system from an encrypted image file stored on an external USB. It took 5 minutes to rebuild the whole system. And everything operated the same on reboot.
Today all I have to do is install Sparrow and import a bunch of watch-only credentials and test working with air gapped PSBT’s and signing transactions via USB if it’s ever needed (not my preference). Then image the whole system and make a secondary copy of the image.
I’m really digging Linux. It feels like I am free from a lot of privacy concerns and not helping someone work up an advertising profile on me every time I go online.

Everyone here gives me hope, when I’m surrounded in my day to day life by people that not only don’t “get it”, but have zero inquisitiveness about the things in their world that just don’t feel right.
I’ve never done centralized social media but for a very short stint on Twitter that I ended before the algorithm warped my brain any further lol.
I like learning. I like to laugh. I like new ideas. And I like knowing that when I finally do get a chance to go to a meetup or a conference or a place where a circular Bitcoin economy has taken hold, I might get to meet some of you fine people. I swear I’m the only freedom tech minded person in the immediate area we live sometimes. I know three hours away there’s regular meetups. Hoping to get to one soon.
I haven’t had much luck inspiring interest in our town except for one guy at work that is in quite a busy time of life, having two toddlers.
For now, Nostr is like a life raft for my brain. And I love that people here can take a GFY and not get all butt hurt lol. The world is missing this honesty right now.

Ubuntu 24.04.1 install complete on an encrypted volume with long term support till 2034 🤙🏽
Wish me luck connecting to my node and my Start9 file server. I shudder every time I see the acronym SSH or have to import a root cert.

I took a brief poke around Windows 11 Pro last night before tonight’s planned hard drive wipe and Ubuntu 24.04.1 install.
What a trash fiat OS. No access without a Microsoft account, default privacy settings set for maximum tracking, browsers and home screens plastered with fiat news and social media bait, and endless attempts at selling the user various subscriptions for services and utilities.
If I was a dev at MS I’d jump off the roof headfirst.
The crazy thing is that I bet the average user will just accept this crap.

Fuck Ledger. At least 2/3 of the phishing emails I get are a result of the data breach that they suffered a couple years ago. Add to that the shitty proprietary software and internal battery issues on their nano X series, and the story is clear.

I’ll never forget the first time I went down to Texas on business and found myself standing in our sales manager’s backyard in my bare feet on what looked like lush green beautiful lawn. My introduction to fire ants.

Money printer is still gonna go brrrr. Inflation will still be misreported using CPI and be considered acceptable by the normies at 3%. Real inflation will remain at 12-15%. Wages will stay stuck in 2015. Taxes won’t be rolled back. Legislative creep on gun laws will continue. Poilievre talks a good game but hasn’t said shit about stopping the central bank abuse. It’s all still theatre aimed at giving Canadians hope where there is none. I’d leave this country in a heartbeat if I could do so without tearing my family apart. My hope is in stacking sats, growing food, reducing our reliance on the grid, and practicing agorism more and more as time passes.

Has anyone messed around with using the @npub126n…e9ll webtop version of Sparrow Wallet and have any input on how to get around the lack of USB device support for exporting, signing and importing PSBT’s and final signed TX files?
On the file system browser in KasmVNC (Start9 webtop) I can’t even navigate to a sparrow directory. Conversely, I can’t find PSBT’s that I’ve saved through Sparrow on Start9 anywhere on the file system.
