One of my biggest peace of mind hacks is to let people be wrong. It's a lot like "let sleeping dogs lie." Only the dog isn't sleeping it's just so wrong it's irrelevant and might as well be unconscious.

Very true. I also remind myself that people might come around eventually. You don't need to convince them of anything right now.

While it's great to be able to learn through words and example, each of us has been ignorant and forced to learn through cold, hard experience.

Not only peace of mind, but a whole host of things cascade out from that one practice. You find that you're actually able to listen, for one. And paradoxically find that people start giving a shit about your opinion way more than when you really wanted to convince them of it.

Probably a great tip for parenting too. People need to learn their own mistakes.

Don't bother with Nitter. Everyone should just stop promoting Twitter or privacy frontends for it, and simply use Nostr instead. If your bitcoin "influencer" doesn't have a Nostr profile, then fuck him. The only way to win is not to play.

Isn't this very easy ? Keep your debt (at a manageable level) and buy BTC.

CAGR (averaged over 4 years) should easily outpace whatever interest you're paying on your debt.

Yes but sometimes I get the urge to just pay off the debt the annoyance of paying it monthly

Growing Plants for Privacy

I just realized that people plant trees and flowers could be for privacy reasons, like if you have a unique house, people who passby maybe curious inside, at least I am. The area I'm currently in has many beautiful homes, but you don't get to see much as there are many plants in the little garden, with quite a low level of stone wall ( really easy to get in, but I guess that tells you the level of safety here.)

Not only is eye-pleasing, but it also blocks others' views; what a subtle to protect your privacy - sometimes, protecting privacy doesn't need many fancy tools, which reminds me of that many Bitcoiners using so many fancy cold wallets, you really don't need them, all you need is a simple USB, subtle and does the job without causing so much attention!

We live in an area with lots of overgrown natural plants and trees. Some houses are completely obscured from the street. Two years ago we got new next door neighbors. One day we woke up to find that every bit of plant life was cut down along our border with theirs. It was very strange seeing their house for the first time, and uncomfortable. A few weeks later he planted new trees and bushes to make a new border, albeit much lower with less privacy. A month or so later the deer had eaten all the bushes. Lesson: let nature make your barriers. The deer hadn't eaten the old growth in 30 years.

Some houses are completely obscured from the street.

That sounds like the goal!

I once accidentally found out about one poet's house, like wow, so beautifully built ( by himself from what I read ), and literally in the best location, but built in a way that keep the crowds away, I guess that's how you can think and peacefully do your work.

Lesson: let nature make your barriers.

sounds funny! 😂 the new next door neighbor must be quite mad:)? haha

69 sats \ 5 replies \ @siggy47 4 Feb

He's a nice guy, but mad, yes. He talks to me at length about the new bush he read about that was "deer resistant. " Landscaping is his hobby. He has actually planted bushes, decided he didn't like them, and ripped them out a month or so later. I have never met anyone like him.

sounds like he can do many fun experiments. 😂

I talked to him about bitcoin. The conversation didn't get far. He's retired and his ideas about money and investing are narrow and conventional.

51 sats \ 2 replies \ @Natalia 4 Feb freebie

curious what retired people normally do? I know some are traveling, some are doing repetitive things and waiting for the kids to come home to see them.

I am really impressed by you and @DarthCoin with many others, still keep learning and sharing; I guess that is what made you stay "young"? like I don't want to be a boring person once I reach certain age, I still want to live life, not waiting to die.

Let's see how long it'll take for someone to post the link to Darth's Tallis OS article...

Regarding plants and privacy/security, tall shrubs out front might make it difficult for neighbors to see what's going on - burglars prefer not being seen though, so there's a trade-off here.

Spiky plants are great as a deterrent.

Regarding wallet security, you're right about using a simple USB.

Makes such a difference too when it complements (or better still grows with) the house.

There are plants that may obscure your view but encourage you to stand around, like jasmine plants you can smell from metres away. As @ekzyis would say, private but not secure.

Funnily enough plantingprivacy.com has a nice ring to it and is a cheap domain, someone snapped up plantprivacy in 2021.

good concealment is preferred over good cover

maybe that's why

the real rich never wear fancy brands?
the real good restaurant often hidden on street corners?
the good men is not in social media posting selfies?
the real travelers don't post their travel photos?

I mean to me, it sounds quite obvious. If given the choice between not being a target at all and being a well-defended target, I would pick 'not a target at all' every time.

It's not that easy though. I guess there is a sweet spot of concealment and cover. Having no cover at all is probably pretty stressful; negating the effects of your concealment.

maybe that's why

I also think this is related to which groups you target. So it's not only about making yourself not a target but also what is your target. Some things act as filters :)
