The art is balance, also depends on what you want, let's say learning - I can't learn much about traditional art and crafts on the Internet, but then I can't learn much about Bitcoin from my locals, so why not learn from both then you share it back to different space.

Random thought: You can use the excess heat from miners to help air-dry your clothing faster. If you have enough hangers, you can probably omit using a dryer altogether, thus lowering your utilities bill!

Thanks. But offering liquidity for a nominal fee isn’t the worst thing in the world. By selling channels you establish a market for liquidity that an LN node can use and since they are paying for it less incentive for them to not buy it.

Plus if I have sats just relaxing in a hot wallet and someone can use them for inbound liquidity it makes sense to contribute to the network in this way.

so I rugged myself

lost my nsec

looking for people to lecture me about responsible backup procedures and mnemonic writing and nostr self-ownership if possible

I wrote a mnemonic down and wrote it wrong, or wrote the wrong one, or something. I dunno. Ever look for your keys forever and find them in the fridge? And wonder if it could actually be elves or something? That's what this is like. I can't believe I did it. But I did.

Anyway, here I am, back, with a new npub and nsec, and I've tested whether I can recover it with the mnemonic this time, not just written it down. so just FYI

The old stacker profile nym is now @UCantDoThatDotRugged (it was still logged in on my phone but will logout one of these days)

I've transferred ownership of territories to this one, now aptly named @UCantDoThatDotNet

I prove this new one here is really me, and not some equally ascerbic imposter who has murdered me for my laptop and phone, by putting this new npub on my website ucantdothat.net, and also my alby address is connected to the new npub.

If that's not enough proof for you, I can meme your shit up right, son

Sympathies/condolences. I did this to myself back when I was into Nano and reset a phone to troubleshoot it while being 100% sure I'd written down the phrase correctly. That's 30 shitcoins I'll never see again, and I have a constant fear I'll repeat that with my current BTC collection. Really hope that correct mnemonic turns up.

(As an aside, I think about the number of times I've lost physical keys to places, and man does the concept holding my own keys not quite give me the confidence it should.)

anyone curious about Ramadan? I'm not really religious myself, but then I've observed and experienced many interesting things while living in Anatolia - the land of blended religions, empires, and civilizations.

It's too much to talk about and so fascinating! it's like you've found someone who has been through so much, and the more you learn, the more amazed you are.

and why Islamophobia is everywhere in the West now? yet most of what I have seen or experienced is about peace and beauty...

The dang greeting translates to Peace be unto you!

yes - salam alaykum, then you reply with alaykum salam. ( peace be upon you )

also it's not just about fasting but about sharing and connecting too, and one of the interesting things about fasting: people usually break the fast with dates:

Dates are easily digested, making them a quick source of energy and nutrients. Eating dates after a long day of fasting can help the body’s blood glucose levels quickly return to normal

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @Natalia 16 Mar freebie

and one of the things I like during this time is the special Ramadan food! Especially Güllaç in Turkey; it's made with milk, rose water, and pomegranate, and it's so GOOD that you want to eat it every day, but it's usually only sold during Ramadan, but ofc you can make it at home.

Islam has been anti west since inception. From the Crusades to the fall of Constantinople to 9-11-2001 and October 7, 2023.

Mohammed’s pilgrimage to Mecca was a military conquest. He was a butcher.

Why did the Armenian genocide occur in 1915?

What is the prominent and obvious characteristic of the immigration crisis in Europe?

I suppose Afghanistan was useful during the 1980s in fighting the USSR.

Bro I grew up in a Christian church that is anti everyone else - claiming we alone are going to heaven and all others are condemned to hell. If they can't be converted they are to be shunned.

What's different?

I will not play the name the massacre, name the Holocaust game with you. I'll assume you actually know better, but try to make some point anyhow.

The difference is some people ignore the commandment , thou shalt not kill.

Did your church put a contract on anyone who criticized your religion?

Beirut used to be the Paris of the Middle East but no longer because of the influence of Islam. Who is the last university president to be assassinated?

Does an empty stomach make people more or less violent? Does the west need to raise threat levels during Ramadan?

31 sats \ 1 reply \ @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears 16 Mar

I'm always interested in anything going on in other cultures/countries (my basic knowledge of Ramadan is just that people fast during the day during the month).

As far as Islamaphobia, I think it's from a mix of people generally forming and perpetuating opinions of groups based on the worst actions by any members of them, and the vested interest folks in power have in having folks focus hatred on an outsider group (instead of on the folks in power).
