Meshtastic is basically dead where I am. Everyone moved to MeshCore which works much better in practice.

But I don't think it's a good idea to flood the radio waves with chatty Nostr data

Would it be possible to create a bridge between Waze or similar and roadstr?
Juraj profile picture
Yes, but you'd have to run it for your area. I've done some preliminary research and I think it's possible. There are several Python modules that can get road traffic data from Waze programatically.

If someone wants to give it a shot and vibe code it, point it to the nip in roadstr repo and it should work. Would be cool. Maybe I'll get back to it soon, but it's a nice vibe coding side project for anyone who wants to give it a shot.

New 🎙️OptionPlus: An audio production of Nocoiner Syndrome: Diagnosis, treatment and money distribution effects on society

Abstract: Since the emergence of Bitcoin, we have observed a psychological phenomenon among certain groups, particularly those involved in traditional financial institutions, characterized by the moral opposition to Bitcoin’s early adopters and the system itself. This paper introduces and analyzes the “nocoiner syndrome,” a condition where individuals, especially those benefiting from the current financial system’s Cantillon Effect, perceive early Bitcoin adopters as immoral. Through a case study of recent academic work by European Central Bank employees, we examine how this syndrome manifests in academic discourse and institutional behavior. We analyze the syndrome’s root causes, including cognitive dissonance from missed opportunities and the psychological impact of working within inflationary monetary systems. The paper challenges common misconceptions about early Bitcoin adoption’s morality by examining the risk-adjusted nature of early investments and demonstrating how hodlers contribute to economic resource conservation. We propose several treatment approaches for the nocoiner syndrome, emphasizing the importance of understanding complex systems and the limitations of central planning. Our analysis suggests that this syndrome is not merely a personal psychological condition but a broader societal phenomenon with implications for economic policy and institutional behavior.

Nový 🎙️podcast: Káva z odrody Geisha v Paname nás priviedla k spontánnemu podcastu s Wilderom, Buggiem a Peťom o tom, prečo je Panama cool – a nie len pre dane. Najzaujímavejšie na presťahovaní do inej krajiny je totiž to, čo sa najťažšie podáva ďalej: nie je to „to isté, len iným jazykom a inými peniazmi“, ale úplne iný operačný systém kultúry. Bavíme sa o panamskom vnímaní času, nižšej hladine stresu, boome infraštruktúry, slobode bez cenzúry, kávových plantážach pod sopkou Volcán Barú, miestnej kuchyni aj o tom, čo Panama dala každému z nás. Diel možno aj pre tých, ktorých samotná Panama vôbec neláka.

"So far the most unbelievable part of the beginning of your book is that the characters successfully decrypted a PGP email"

😀😀😀

@Tamers of Entropy is based! It is possible to decrypt a PGP e-mail, I have done it in the past!

I'm also using organic maps, I like them more (except for editing maps).

But organic does not support plugins unfortunately, so integration is not possible without forking. And forking would mean I need to publish on app store if I want to keep Android Auto functionality.

I am often joking that the clearest sign of bear market environment for me is switching from fancy bio 🥩 to Lidl 🥩.

Yesterday I needed a fresh shave, and being in Lidl, I got their Cien-branded razors instead of Gillette, somehow expecting to fight with it and being disappointed.

I didn't even get the most expensive one with most blades. It's 3-4x cheaper. The shave was good, honestly I can't tell the difference, maybe it was even a bit better.

It won't save me many sats, it's not much per year either way. Another pro tip: no shaving cream or gel needed, water and soap works too. And the Lidl steaks are also good.

Morale of the story: bear market is time of discovery and life enjoyment as much as the bull market.

Bear market optimization at its finest. Saving on the blade means more fiat converted to hard money. Those Cien razors are basically funding your next lightning channel. 🥩

Beef is cheaper to buy in bulk, and I happen to use safety razors.

If people looked only at function, they could live off of half the money!

Lidl also has great organic veggie and fruit selection
sudeten_chan · 3d
Yes, LIDL is my saviour too 😅 Similar/same quality for most of products for 1/2 or 3/4 of the price from a “big brand name”.

Wait till you find out their sneakers and fashion is pretty decent as well. No difference between 98€ and 19,80€.

DE razor blades are the ultimate life have in my opinion. Way better shave and you can have a new blade everyday if you want because they are dirt cheap.
