Where they using #bitchat at all? It seems this is the type of application for bitchat we are always hearing about. Would be curious if it was used.

My kids have listened to the whole chronicles of Narnia and everyone except The Last Battle multiple times. Good stories are key.

This is probably my favorite theme of Tolkien and Lewis. It is simple ordinary acts of bravery (telling the truth, having children, etc...) by average people that are the real acts of heroism. Incredible considering what they lived through personally.

What a shame. Inspections seem like such a racket, so many great cars that could still be on the road.

My daily driver is a 28 yo RAV4. It's an amazing vehicle.

Missed connections made for some great reads back in the day.

Lunar eclipse!

Image won't load for me 😥. I don't want to pass on something about soil science.

I confirm, moose are SCARY!

Thanks for the info. I'll look into the Binance P2P. Yellow card being on chain seemed to expensive. I am looking for sats on Lightning to MTN mobile money.

Bwino bwanji?

This is useful to see. I've got solar where we stay in Zambia (because the grid is pretty bad), but I am thinking if I move back to the US I'll want to install solar.

Here are some I've enjoyed recently. Not all under the follow limit, but hopefully helpful.

Introducing the students in environmental science to systems thinking this week and will be using this photos for class.

They're probably just in my imagination, but I could see Amazon finding something offensive in a classic like the Tolkien, Chesterton, etc... and silently editing the text/audio using AI. Or simply removing a title that they don't like. My question is, how can I owne my digital audiobook library and ensure its not tampered with.

I see you've got the Zambian flag here. What do you use for on and off ramps? I was using Strike, but they now don't support mobile money.

The bummer is that when cancelled their mobile money off and on ramps here in Zambia a small but growing group of folks saving in BTC got scared off of using BTC. I know we shouldn't be platform dependent, but it is a bummer to see. These are folks who need to save in small chunks ~$2 at a time, but now they're feeling rugged by and worse lost appetite for BTC.

Thanks for putting me on here, your suggestions are great!

This is awesome! My parents took us to a nursing home almost every other Sunday to sing and visit with residents. It was formative.

I am always a little worried about digital book burners, but am also an avid consumer of audio books and 'have' an Audible library. Is there a way to back up audible to avoid the digital book burners? #Farenheit451

I agree. I've only been really active on here in 2025, but I'm seeing a gradual shift in my feed away from BTC and to other interests. It still doesn't replace the research and science content I find on LinkedIn, but I'm hoping to get there.

About halfway throuhh graduate school I started taking sabath rest seriously. One of the best decisions I made during that period of my life.

What is the most plug and play way to set up an at home miner? I generate most of my power off solar. By around 10-11 AM the batteries are full and the panels are idle. I would love to put that extra power to work if at all possible, but I don't have a ton of time to sink into this. Any thoughts? In an ideal world the miner would also be a hot water heater as we currently only heat water when on the grid. #Asknostr #mining #BTC #solar #energy

That makes sense. To make sure I understand, the market comes to equilibrium. Therefore short term price increases might be due to lack of supply of a particular good, but over the long run all price increases are due to the increased supply of money?

LinkedIn is the most relevant competitor for my attention. For many of my interests and hobbies, LinkedIn just has a more knowledgeable folks. I m hoping the soil science / research agronomist community grows on here, but I think it'll take a while.

I would love thoughts on this. And if there is anything I can do here on the ground, I am happy to help. I am non technical in the extreme, but would be happy to help in whatever way I am able. I love the freedom and savings that BTC could be here, but we need Lighting to mobile on and off ramps.

Really enjoyed this, I can wait for a hot water heater that mines BTC and uses my excess solar energy during the day. Then I'd have hot showers and more sats. https://fountain.fm/episode/MtZOjUFFv8hogbRdXgz2

Yeah, i was curious about maybe downloading all my audiobooks and then keeping that device offline. I'll have to try the some pdf or epub readers. I haven't tried them for years. When I last tried it was not great.

Wonderful to see livestock integration in vinyards.
