Currently making a transition from the initial setup for logins/zaps I've been using to a more current arrangement. Figured I'd share some thoughts. I like nsec.app. Smart design, love what it does. As is common, not a fan of the inconsistent support that exists for nostr-connect. Wish I could log in to Amythest and Primal on mobile with nsec.app instead, but so it is. Love how efficient cashu.me is so far. Come a long ways. Long term we're gonna want some strict standards for mint operators, but for now it's doing great.

Assuming that I know nothing about modern coding, what's the fastest way to learn everything required to start building nostr-based PWAs? #asknostr #nostrdevs I'm 12 years out of date on current development methods, and what i do know has never extended beyond building for CLI at a hobbyist level. I simply have too many ideas for things I want to see built here to not learn to build them anymore.

I think we need bitcoin futures contracts on Nostr. I don't mean "I'll buy bitcoin with fiat at x price on y date" I mean "I'll buy z loaves of bread for x bitcoin on y date." With capital controls coming fast or already implemented, such contracts are likely the best way to both enable a black market and resist the financial repression. Being a distributor of criminal goods has always been lucrative, and this time the only victim will be thieving governments.

When Christians talk about Christ, we often talk about the love He has shown us, His sacrifice and what it means, etc. We don't talk often enough about what happens to those who refuse His gift. I think most of us don't really believe that what awaits is Hell, even if we say to ourselves we do. I had an out of body experience 10 years ago, when having absolutely no reason to continue living I tried to end it. I was deeply gnostic at the time, figured there was no downside and plenty upside. I met a woman, and she told me the horror of my error. I spent maybe 1-2 real world seconds, beginning the journey of entering Hell. There is no horror, that has ever been inflicted in this world by man, that I would not happily endure a 1000x over to never experience that again. The event seared itself on my soul, and as is potent and visceral in memory as it has ever been. A brief instant of that, no pain in this world is comparable. And I knew, that that would last for eternity if I died fully. I was lucky enough to claw myself back to flesh, get emergency care, and stay alive. It took me years to find a reason to live, but going back to that is not an option my mind can handle. The Catholics were right when they used severe physical punishment in an attempt to convince those sentenced to death to repent. Not always in who and why they made such sentences, but it was utterly sensible to inflict one horror in hopes of preventing worse beyond death. Something I think we would be wise to remember as this peaceful period of history draws to a close, and war returns in fury.

A human who's body does not exterminate foreign lifeforms that go where not permitted, dies. The same is true of a nation. A difficult truth that all nations must come to terms with: all of the foreign peoples who will not integrate, must be excised for our nations to survive. Access to our lands must be controlled. Most nations that are not the west understand this truth well. The west is suicidal, and so it commits suicide by immigration. Any nation unwilling to stand by and wait while those not given entry starve to death with their children, and gun them down if they ignore that law, is doomed.
