I carry a #GrapheneOS phone with no SIM. I drive a old car. I use VPNs and TOR at all times. I accept that my data will be stolen, sold, and bought, but I'm not making it easy.

I've had good luck with Silent.link on GrapheneOS if you decide you want an esim. It's a data only service. No phone number. It appears that they assign users some random IP address tracing back to Warsaw, Poland. Pay with Lightning. No KYC garbage. Cheap as heck. Like $1/gig or something.

I use a second phone as a router with non-KYC eSIM. My main one has no SIM and is on airplane mode 24/7.

One of my favorite posters @cuban is taking a break from Nostr due to the nihilism. That bums me out. I'm in the same boat. This place is depressing sometimes. Cull your follows. Check in once a week, but don't bail on it completely!

I think what we need are some topical Nostr accounts. I was thinking of creating some. Like maybe an account to discuss the latest episode of "Below Deck," or maybe an account that answers questions about Ad Blocking, or one that talks about how to set up and maintain a transactional relationship with someone hot, or one that reviews radar detectors or electric vehicles, or how to find things to do after retiring. I'm an expert in all of these topics and none of them are depressing or nihilistic.

Yesterday, I was thinking how much knowledge I've accumulated over fifty-three years on how to avoid greeters and aggressive handshakers in church. I've never really shared it with anyone before. I even have diagrams. I could create AI videos illustrating strategies and whatnot.

I just think if each of us created one Nostr account about something we're interested in (other than Bitcoin) we could create a really fun, quirky, engaging decentralized platform.

The good news: My frontal lobe is fully developed now. The good news: I'm gonna be this retarded forever.

My friend used to say, "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy," and as a winemaker I think that might actually make for a fun slogan for your company, or maybe a cute tagline for the bottles. A retard-themed wine promo would really capture the imagination of Gen-Z which, as it so happens, is enthusiastically embracing a trend called retard-maxxing. More information on the trend below:

So I did a thing... I'm officially starting the process of migrating to Linux. I just installed Pop!_OS on a smaller SSD in my home PC, so I can now dual-boot between Windows 10 and Linux. Since my ol...

Please post updates on your progress. I switched from Windows to Linux (Debian) for all my server stuff, but my workstation remains Windows 11. I've never tried Linux on the client with a full GUI. As Windows quality gets worse and worse, it's becoming more appealing though. Let me know how it goes!
