china gets their oil from iran, so let's bomb iran and take our their cheap supply!

now we just need to use up our reserves to keep prices low.

that will teach the chinese not to use yuan to buy oil!

property taxes are wealth taxes and never should have been normalized

that is, unless your don't really own your property and it is "co owned" by you and the state.

for a long time i ran parmanode as a easy way to get electrs, core and mempool running on a linux desktop but was so put off by all of the nonsense messages in that software

then using claude code terminal I did a seamless compile and configuration of core with electrs and mempool with a custom dashboard to see status and connection urls took less then 1 hr

claude code makes linux user friendly

we need @Kagi to index nostr. there is no good nostr search engine

@jack mallers what is the ai audio tool you use that reads your research to you during the day?

don't believe the old gov numbers, they were fake so we fixed them

the new numbers are real

THREE DUMB ROUTERS TOPOLOGY
(Y-Configuration for Network Isolation)

KEY DETAILS:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Root Router (The "Stem" of the Y)
├── WAN: Connected to Modem/Internet
├── LAN IP: 192.168.0.1 (or any base subnet)
├── DHCP: Can be disabled or only serve the two routers
└── IMPORTANT: No devices should connect directly here (no WiFi)

Secure Router (Left Branch)
├── WAN: Connected to Root Router LAN (gets IP like 192.168.0.2)
├── LAN IP: 192.168.1.1 (Different subnet!)
├── DHCP: Enabled (192.168.1.100-200)
└── Devices: PCs, Laptops, Phones, NAS (Your trusted devices)

IoT/Insecure Router (Right Branch)
├── WAN: Connected to Root Router LAN (gets IP like 192.168.0.3)
├── LAN IP: 192.168.2.1 (Different subnet!)
├── DHCP: Enabled (192.168.2.100-200)
└── Devices: Minecraft server, Smart home devices, Untrusted IoT

ISOLATION MECHANISM:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Traffic Flow:
• Secure PC → Secure Router → Root Router → Internet ✓
• IoT Device → IoT Router → Root Router → Internet ✓
• Secure PC → IoT Router → BLOCKED (Different subnet, behind NAT)
• IoT Device → Secure Router → BLOCKED (ARP broadcasts don't cross routers)

Why This Works:
1. Routers block Ethernet broadcasts (ARP cannot traverse)
2. Each network is its own "broadcast domain"
3. Double NAT prevents IP scanning between networks
4. Compromised IoT device cannot use traceroute to find Secure network
(Only sees: IoT Router → Root Router → Internet)

Configuration Checklist:
□ All three routers have different LAN subnets (e.g., 0.x, 1.x, 2.x)
□ Secondary routers connect via WAN ports (not LAN ports)
□ No "Bridge Mode" or "Access Point Mode" on secondary routers
□ Root router ideally has WiFi disabled (or use as guest network only)
□ UPnP disabled on Root Router (prevents IoT from opening ports inward)
