Digital Minimalism | FREEDOM TECH FRIDAY 21

Banger 🧨🧨 Pure signal

🫡🍻

If I hadn’t attended the Southwest Michigan Meetup, I may not have met Rev.Hodl. Today Rev helped me solve a mining issue not even AI could figure out. Turns out humans are still the purest form of signal, and meetups are a great place to find them.

I will make a correction - bitchat was mentioned. I overheard somebody asking somebody else if they want to try it. It sounded like a group of two or three people were going to try it at Lake Satoshi

Rev.Hodl da man, we need more people like him 🧨🧨🧨

Karl is the real Rev 😏

Inspiring signal from the good reverend.

❤️‍🔥🍻🫡

I’m thankful for the Southwest Michigan meetup, where likeminded humans gather in downtown Benton Harbor on the third Thursday of each month for fellowship and meaningful conversation spanning many domains. I leave inspired to continue building the world I want to see. Join us if you’re in the area.

🧨

The culture and commerce we are building in our region is inspiring and exciting, and we're just getting started. Join us at Fork and Coin for V4V Chicago, coming September 14-15. We'll have food, music, commerce, and more. I'll be sharing coffee. What value will you bring? More event info. at Chicago Bitcoin collective.com.

🎯 help you bring ideas into reality That's one thing I've struggled with, I've got lots of good ideas but I need assistance and assistants 🤭 to help me move forward to completion

What I would like to see more Nostr apps doing is hiding the fact that they are Nostr apps. Just obscure it away so normal people think it's a normal app, and not a power app. And let the features and usability make them a fan without them realizing it

Custom scripts for everybody! 🥳🥳

Ya there's definitely nothing wrong with waiting. 6 to 12 months from now it will be much more capable, and in order of magnitude easier to set up

I've been setting up mine to automatically log conversations. I've been feeding it all of my notes and business ideas. Everything gets automatically cataloged into obsidian. That obsidian vault is included in the QMD database for vector memory search. My agents have excellent short and long-term memory with minimal token usage. To set it up right, you really need to spend quite a while setting it up - or buy the files from somewhere. I've been setting up going on 3 weeks. It has already made me more productive. Soon my calendar will be synchronized. Client leads with automatically be filtered and surfaced front and center to me. The more you use something like this, the more you will start to understand how you can compound little abilities on top of each other. One cron job can trigger a cascade of events and work. I have used simplistic bots for many years. I used to have one that would pay my child support for me. That ran with no issues for about 5 years before they updated the site and broke my bot. I used to use another one for automatically populating descriptions and titles for an online store. At that time, I was replacing an employee with a simple bot. These things have been providing real value for people, for longer than people assume. Again it all comes down to how you use it and what you're doing with it. 6 to 12 months from now the landscape will be much different. Right now it's very hard to set up correctly and easy to burn money if you don't know what you're doing. But soon a lot of these things will be ironed out and much more normal people will be able to get higher value from it. On top of that, every time the models get better or cheaper, that means you can also upgrade your system to be smarter or cheaper.

I don't know who's spending $1,000 but you doing it wrong. I spent $15 in the past 3 weeks with more usage than I've ever had. It all depends on the model. But If they are also using it to do scraping and analyzing, it's not exactly simple work. And if you compare that to a human being doing the same work - that $1,000 is probably much cheaper than a human spending the time manually scraping and analyzing. I think I saw a graph recently saying that Claude opus outputs - in one prompt - between 5 and 15 hours of human work. Obviously that's not on every prompt, but that's pretty substantial even if it's expensive at a 30 cent API call, then maybe it's an extremely good deal. It's all very relative to what you're using it for and what your accomplishing in the end. Some of us have been playing with AI models for years already so we already know how to prompt better and we get better results. You've got to keep playing with different models - talk to them in different ways - and be explicit, try to remove ambiguity. And if you're having problems writing prompts - ask one AI to write a prompt for you to give to the other.. and that will often increase your chance of a one shot successful prompt

Need part 2, great conversation 🧨

There are still good women out there... Just snagged one... Alas I did not get a girlfriend this cycle... Moved her straight to wifey

Congrats! 🎉🔥🧡

Cool to hear you're expanding on Wavlake and Nostr 🔥

Wow it's not every day you hear Back Orifice brought up 🔥🔥☠️🐄🔥🔥

🧨❤️‍🔥

👀

Test

Ok I didn't realize the front end of OwnTracks will work in conjunction. That is pretty cool 🧨

Dawarich is brand new and for iOS only? Solid pass. Use OwnTracks for self-hosted location tracking.

🍻

You self-censor yourself on the word ass? That's extremely gay

Leave your routers alone. People need those proxies. 😉

EU can suck a dick and they will HFSP

Sorry for my hieroglyphics 😆 It's my way of being lazy, and saying "hello" 🧨 Isn't firecracker... Dye-no-mite https://c.tenor.com/9MLz1UBPxq0AAAAd/tenor.gif

Phoenix was always still usable in the USA, using the APK, no VPN needed It was only removed from the Google app store in the United states. It was still available in Aurora, Github, Obtainium

🧨🧨

Obsidian is 🔥🔥

Join the people on de-googled phones

YahoooOoooooo

There's a regional Bitcoin meetup on Nov 6th-8th at the Drury inn in Grand Rapids. 10191429 This is the code for discounted rooms. The code doesn't work on the app but works online. The Drury inn serves breakfast and dinner. They also give you 3 free alcohol drinks with dinner. So Friday well have dinner and drinks. Saturday breakfast and dinner with drinks. Sunday Breakfast. We'll figure out lunch on Saturday depending on how many people show up. This event is family friendly. So bring your family and let's get a ton of Bitcoiners to hang out and network. Be there!!!

Thanks for everything you do with advertising pleb stuff man. I've known Rev.Hodl for a while and just went to his Permaculture class and it was awesome! Highly recommended! Really great experience and the food was out of this world. Side note: we need some kind of Nostr Nip for Rating People/Places/Events 🤔 Rating Sellers/Items/Marketplaces 🤔

Preach.

Top tier #40hpw for the #firstturning. We’re only scratching the surface of what is possible with communities built on abundance and v4v. All three of you are an inspiration. Speaking of v4v, The First Turning Supper Club is collective of folks planning a collaborative feast of y(our) dreams during Lake Satoshi. This is an opportunity to play with v4v in the flesh. Send me a message to lend your time, treasure, or talent

Running behind on my #40hpw. Just catching up on the Easter episode. Just wanted to say that the Amish have already broken ground on the Daylight Savings soft fork. They don’t observe it. Imagine the power we wield if we join their gentle resistance, at least on this issue.

Inspiring. Beautiful. Thank you.

So good. A rich addition to the First Turning’s canon.

I’m really enjoying rhe ISL series. Real pioneers, real life, good thymes. Looking forward to reading Avi’s books after I finish Atlas Shrugged again.

Good day from the frontier, friends. The opening meditation by Señor Palmer from the Slop Tsunami episode was perfection. Thank you. In other news, I want to take a moment to highlight how beneficial it can be to stack #40hpw of silence on top of the recommended weekly podcast regimen. In my experience, silence is the fiber I need to help the info. digest smoothly, thereby avoiding slop-arrhea. Keep building, friends.

Your response to Peter’s question about swearing was great. It made me realize that I don’t hear crude and vulgar language on your podcast unlike so many others. ( My parents taught me that intelligent people don’t have to swear to make their argument. Call me old fashion I guess). Keep up the good work.

Happy Birthday 🧡🍻🎉

RIP JCD 🫡⚔️
