Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.

Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!

We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!

.... i really don't want to do this, but I am diving into how to use the Reddit API now...

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @SimpleStacker 3h

ok, I needed to apply for access... I applied under "researcher" and briefly explained why I need the data

as far as i can tell, the request just went into the black hole... who knows when/if I'll hear back...

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @SimpleStacker 2h

just finding out now that the move to restrict API access to only registered developers was a new move in 2023 that caused some controversy...

yet another way in which SN is superior to Reddit...

So are our profile pics just gone?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 10h

Yes. My changes marked all profile images as unpaid, then they got wiped. Images are replicated, but we hard delete stuff.

I'll look into some kind of short-lived archiving for deleted images where they can mature into hard deletion.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b 7h

I've added versioning to image storage so that after they're deleted they are retained for a few days before being permanently deleted.

Here is another reminder of our fortnightly appointment, to brainstorm ideas and bring projects forward. Similar to the Stacker Saloon, it will stay pinned in the ~Design territory hot section for two weeks, recursively, giving us time to discuss and provide feedback.

Whatever you are thinking about... A new app? Book? Review your apartment furniture setup following feng shui? Upgrading your 4x4 suspensions? 3D print something for your miner? Redesign your garden yard? What else?

Share it in the pinned post What creative ideas have you been rambling on?

₿e Creative, have Fun! :D

People are so desperate to believe that voting, politics, or men are the answer they are blinded to the obvious. Fiat money is the root problem for many of the problems we have today.

People are wanting the government that has created this system that erodes our life's energy "money" to fix what they designed and profit from.

We have the answer. Bitcoin. But yeah. Play the Trump or the anti-Trump. Keep it up and see how well that works.

Happiness Journal 10/11/25

A boy from my form class surprised me by bringing a Science past year examination question book that he had earlier received from his self-help organisation. So honoured that he had remembered me during the weekend and even took the initiative to bring his book to share it with me this morning.

A girl from another class showed me her storybook that she had started last night. Apparently, she wants to give it to me before the school holidays. I am skeptical that she will continue beyond her first paragraph, but I am touched nevertheless.

Suffice it to say that they made my day today.

Buying BTC through a bank is the stupidest thing you can do!

BTC was created to screw over banks, not to be subjugated by them. Besides, when you buy BTC through a bank, you're practically shouting from the rooftops that you own BTC.

Always keep BTC in self-custody.

Yes, that's sad, that's why I blurted that out to some friends on Telegram. It was all because of Jerome Powell's announcement that banks are free to offer Bitcoin and cryptocurrency services, so one friend asked what that meant, and another was saying that now he could buy BTC without so much trouble...!!

Today is the anniversary of the death of Atatürk, one of the most important leaders of the 20th century. In my opinion, he is the greatest leader of all time. I'd like to share one of his quotes with you:

"Sovereignty belongs unconditionally to the nation."

I think if he were alive he would take his stance in favor of Bitcoin.

31 sats \ 3 replies \ @AG 10 Nov

He was probably referring to Nation-state in the legalese meaning of the word. Don't know much about him. why it was an important leader from your perspective?

@Natalia maybe interested on this too

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @orto 10 Nov

Consider the economic situation in Africa today. He awakened a nation in a much worse situation. At the time, the people called themselves Ottomans. They had even forgotten their Turkish ancestry. The Arabic alphabet was used. He made it clear that his language was Turkish and he was Turkish. And thousands of other actions I can't even list here. Atatürk's way of thinking and character are entirely based on independence and sovereignty. I recommend you reading about him. He is known by very few people because the Western world ignores him. Because he is the only leader who defeated imperialism.
