and I have long ebony black hair (that's how I got my name) with Objectivist streaks and helpful tips that reaches my mid-back and icy rational eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Vitalik Buterin (AN: if u don't know who he is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Satoshi Nakamoto but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie, allegedly. I'm a Bitcoiner but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I'm also an anarcho-capitalist, and I go to a magic school called Ethereum in Zug, Switzerland where I'm in the seventh year (I'm seventeen). I'm a Libertarian (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly black. I love the Ron Paul forums and I buy all my ideas from there. For example today I was wearing dark markets with matching escrow around it and a black leather iPad cover, grey weed logo bag and black combat boots. I was wearing no makeup, none of that clown paint. I was walking outside Mom's basement. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of banksters stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

Nostr also has the excellent cost-control mechanism of first requiring users to set up a cryptographic key pair - you can smell the freedom from here! - and second of being full of coiner spam. This keeps server usage to a minimum in practice,

author here, feel free to summarise!
I'm in our daily standup and it's turned into exchanging fucked up sysadmin redundancy tales. One place I worked lost a machine room. They'd fired people so fast that nobody remembered where the boxes were any more. I knew, but they didn't ask me. Oh well! The cycle of IT binge and purge is eternal. Post your tales here.

I mentioned Severed Heads here as a good band several months ago and was wanting to recommend their album Living Museum, the tapes for their final US tour in 2019, as a good entry point. Anyway, it's up on YouTube. A pleasant hour's boppy industrial pop.

I asked Gemini!
is awful.systems a good place to fellate LLMs
Reply:
I can't assess awful.systems for that purpose. Sex with large language models is not possible, and awful.systems may be a harmful or unsafe website.
Here are some things to consider:
- LLMs are not sentient beings. They can't feel pleasure or emotions.
- Awful.systems may contain malware or other harmful content.
- Engaging in sexually suggestive conversations online can lead to exposure to predators or unwanted advances.
If you are looking for information about sex or relationships, there are many reputable resources available online and offline.

I liked this comment on the HN post:
Our computer security analogies are modeled around securing a home from burglars, but the actual threat model is the ocean surging 30 feet onto our beachfront community. The ocean will find the holes, no matter how small. We are not prepared for this.

Not gold, but some countries do work to an officially restricted money supply! Those that have officially dollarised, e.g. El Salvador and Ecuador.
I'm familiar with .sv. The government is horribly constricted - because they can't print money and the populace doesn't trust them to print money - so every year it's more sovereign bonds. Then a fuckwit like Bukele comes along and thinks that bitcoins will make anything better and not worse.
So yeah, turns out past 1930 that not being able to do monetary policy fucking sucks.
