ah nice, i used to use https://pushover.net/ for that but might give this a try

Johnny cash - hurt

I can neither confirm nor deny.

given canada's recent great history of leaving people alone i'dnt necessarily run towards a canadian domain registrar :)

yes, i also started one that snowballed into much more - the history of bitcoin ljubljana

i've since left the country but the meetup goes on. I do understand the opsec implications of it and if I'd do it all again I'd remain a nym

trying to get back into the work mode after some time off but being away from my battlestation is proving more and more of an obstacle

I feel any kind of health insurance nowadays is extremely antiquated in their ways. I'm mostly nomadic and I find the international insurance I have completely useless. Its only useful for the asymmetrical risk of some accident where the cost of putting me back together will be very high. It is completely useless for any kind of preventative health since you need to find a GP and then the GP needs to prescribe that for the insurance to even consider your claim which is retarded.

Every year it comes around I'm thinking of cancelling it, maybe this is the year. (I dont qualify for crowdhealth given the US nature of it)

We just redesigned nostr.net which has a lot more nostr things on it

Hopefully more of things I like and less of things I dont.

Thats the problem - they want you to think its your interest vs the employer but its a misconception that you win. The state wins by being involved and getting half of every year you live (or whatever the rate in particular EUSSR country, they are all obnoxiously high). You lose because companies pay less, invest less and risk less due to overhead and complexity. So you end up with shittier jobs and less pay working on less interesting stuff just because someone said you need months of protection in case you get fired?

Of course you can find narrow examples where you can milk the EU/local subsidies and it works out. If you know how to play the system and are willing to struggle through the endless paperwork and other nonsense.

But keep in mind that employment laws fuck you over, taxation fucks you over and regulation fucks you over. Employment laws are complicated and archaic, completely nonsensical for dynamic startups or small companies. Every jurisdiction has its own tricks so hiring people from 3 different countries is an endless nightmare of paperwork and legal advise.

I've had companies on 3 different continents and while they all suck EU is by far the most restrictive and makes the least sense.

There is a separate initiative going on to make dvm's trivially simple to run on start9 atm which would be ideal for distribution

Yeah yt downloads would be the test case as its simple (the only part that i'm still figuring out is file delivery)

There are other use cases popping up already where people need to grab lots of publicly available data from api's which tend to be limited

it will just strengthen the ecosystem because all the people who "run a node" with some out of the box software will need to learn enough to migrate this.

the developers of various node in a box solutions will have to provide better solutions for those people so software will get better

and bitcoin wont care.

but it will be interesting to see how many LN nodes will die because of that

I have an old bolt fun hackathon project that did something along those lines 😅

Cardio without and strength training is not optimal as they each have different benefits
