Foreboding looking day this morning, at a remote lake miles from home.

I gotta say it felt pretty cool importing my root cert into my graphene phone and then logging in to my start9 file server on an always on vpn service paid for with BTC, through and encrypted tunnel, from fricken Panama. #graphene #sovereigncomputing

Can anyone suggest an app for graphene that would allow me to import existing PGP private and public key blocks, for encrypting text brought in via the clipboard, and then copy the encrypted text for pasting elsewhere? Thanks. #asknostr #graphene #PGP #encryption

Awesome post. Let’s do the things.

Beautiful day heading to a remote job. Have a great day everyone 🤙🏽

Imagine. This being advertised as a “benefit“ in the intermission of what could be the final World Series game. Un.fucking.believable. Two words: Start9 Router.

Why TF does every Casa ad I hear say that they’ll send the package “directly to your house”? Seems weird coming from a company who has a CTO who tracks statistics on wrench attacks and goes to extreme lengths to obscure where he sleeps at night. Don’t any of the podcasters doing these ad reads find it a little odd? #bitcoin

Till next time, garden. Hopefully you aren’t under 4 feet of snow in April like last year. Thank you for bringing the goods for our family this year. 10lb of Snow Peas, 60lb of Tomatoes, 10lb of Radishes, 20lb of Beets, 60lb of Carrots, 50lb of Potatoes, and 13 Spaghetti Squash was pretty much the tally this year. That’s over 200 pounds of food that we don’t have to rely on corporations for. On a small lot in town, only miles from my dream property where we will be able to really scale. #gardenstr

Doesn’t matter what’s in the way. That’s his spot lol. #catstr

What a great weekend so far. Woke up an hour and a half before the family, shit/showered/shaved. Woman rocked my world unexpectedly, had a good breakfast, processed and froze 25lb or carrots to finish two weeks of that while watching the US Grand Prix practice sessions in Austin. Girls went out for the day shopping so it was just me and the dog and a fat J. Girls got home to show off their gifts that they got one another, and then my wife gave me a badly needed haircut that I sent her $20 in SATs for just to see her face light up. We are hanging in there watching the world turn to shit, but we still manage to enjoy our days with the things that matter. Keep on keeping on peeps. 🤘

My first post from Wisp on Graphene phone. I figured I'd make it the best shot I've seen this year from friends. Happy weekend everyone. 👊

Finally did the thing. So excited! #grapheneOS

Amazing talk. Literally a roadmap of sovereign living from an electronic, communications and financial POV. The biggest barrier that I have encountered is getting normies to care about and adopt these measures BEFORE things like KYC internet access and OS level age and identity verification are thrust upon us. To date, I have only one person in my circle IRL who has adopted even so much as private encrypted messaging. It’s like pulling teeth to get them to even recognize how much they are giving away by continuing to use legacy socials that are actively listening in and calling home all the time. It’s very frustrating trying to drag people towards sovereignty.

And….more carrots. It’s funny that the bulk of the preserving chores have to happen when a guy just wants to be out in the bush hunting for a couple weeks straight. No paid vacation days left this year, so I’ll just get the odd weekend outing. Not really a recipe for becoming one with the bush and feeling like a finely tuned killer out there. But I will smell like carrots, so maybe bucky will come find me lol.

Among my goals this year is to meet one Nostrich who is in my WOT, irl. Hopefully more than one.

As with every October, the Pleiades cluster is the centrepiece of the eastern sky tonight.

Few things are more satisfying than seeing a valid checksum on 24 new words derived from dice rolls. It’s like connecting to eternity seeing those new addresses pop up.

How does one stop legislative ratcheting? So many overreaching measures are now simply reintroduced to the floor as many times as necessary to pass, or get backdoored in by being packaged with other pieces of legislation. #asknostr

And the leftovers get steam blanched, ice bathed, salad spun, and vac sealed. Three mins in the microwave once thawed, and ready to eat.

This shit is wild.

If you want to really test out the fidelity of your speakers or your headset, this is a pretty good track. Not exactly my genre, but still a great test of speaker response.  I can’t believe I’ve never heard this before. It was featured in a test set for a $1 million audio system on YT.

Great and simple dish tonight. Huge carrot medallions, green beans and boneless chicken thighs coated with melted butter, minced garlic, and sprinkled with Parmesan, salt and pepper. No ingredient labels.

I got to finally use my potato slicer to prep carrot sticks for pickled carrots. We washed, sliced and peeled about 20lb of large carrots and cut them into 3 1/8 inch chunks. I ran them through the slicer in minutes, sorted out the narrow waste cutoffs, and filled a three gallon pail two thirds full with nothing but nice 3/8” carrot “fries” that I can stuff into pint jars. The most surprising thing was just how little waste I ended up with running them through the potato slicer. I thought there would be a lot more. Just a small bag that I could run through a juicer or give to the dog as treats.  hopefully the brine recipe I am using is good, since I’m committing so many carrots. But I can’t imagine anything pickled will last long in this household. #gardenstr #prepstr

I don’t reply to solicitations for donations. I usually just block those people. 

Amazing talk.

TFW you’re an early adopter but you don’t have the cash for $10k worth of new devices, storage and hashing equipment.

Hey all. I’m not on Twatter. What’s the latest on alternate “Bitcoin” implementations. Like Production Ready and others? Since updating my node I’m just using the latest Knots. Do I have my ass hanging out still running that? Aside from the fact that it’s still on a captured chain? #asknostr
