Spam @npub1qny…95gx s are easiest to spot because the realODELL only writes in all caps. I’m late to the spam conversation, but looking at note replies is basically a dumpster fire.

I’m still using an iPhone 13 mini but I gave in and have a 15 pro on the way. Battery and camera upgrades is what I want.

Does the 58k gang have a CEO like Bitcoin does?

I only listen to TFTC if there is an interview I’m specifically interested in listening to.

I’m annoyed when home doors are loudly closed instead of turning the handle slightly to allow the door to close quietly.

@npub1qny…95gx in the most recent @npub10ut…xdlq you spend a few minutes addressing accusations regarding your integrity around simultaneously supporting @npub17ty…3mgl and having a vested financial interest in the success of Cold Card. You said the SeedSigner project is “incredibly important” but continue in the same breath to deny they are competitors and described SeedSigner as only reasonable to be used as a fallback if we lived in a world where devices like Cold Card don’t exist. Far from an endorsement.
You have historically supported the SeedSigner project and I appreciate the support. There’s 100+ ways the SeedSigner project could be better. Your most notable grievance of SeedSigner seems to be solely focused on physical security attributes when comparing the two air gapped Bitcoin signing devices. Specifically you don’t like that SeedSigner doesn’t have a secure element.
Secure elements are great tech, but you never cover the actual trade offs on RHR. You gloss over how Cold Card is verifying firmware at boot on behalf of the user. You don’t discuss the trade offs at all. The verification of firmware at boot on a Cold Card requires trust in Coinkite. The user isn’t verifying, Coinkite is. You also make it sound like it’s an impossible task to verify firmware for SeedSigner.
IMO you’re getting sucked into stupid polarizing debates around Cold Card vs SeedSigner. I think Cold Card and SeedSigner are both great in their own ways. They make different trade offs and actually complement each other really well in a multisig setup with Sparrow Wallet. I personally have no issue with you recommending a Cold Card over a SeedSigner if you prefer the trade offs. Totally reasonable if you asked me. It’s way more important people self custody Bitcoin using cold storage.

I’ve definitely been in office jobs where I walked by a window and watched someone mow grass for a few seconds. Wishing I trade places because even that job was more useful than the work I was doing that day.

Walmart for a few months in high school. The store manager treated employees with no dignity or respect.

I enjoy light and medium roasts over dark roast coffee most days. Dark roast coffee often tastes burnt to me as well. I do find that dark roast works well for espresso based drinks.

Unpopular opinion: Bitcoin Monthly on Ungovernable Misfits is a better Bitcoin and open source software podcast than RHR. Show notes, chapter markers and chapter artwork is high quality. No one does it better in the Bitcoin space.

Jellyfin for the most part. Plex always felt like it was trying to upsell me from the free version. I’ve run to 1 noticeable bug with Jellyfin that I just work around. With Jellyfin it’s great that I can create an account for someone else in my family without them doing a signup process.

That’s hilarious! I find it so interesting how smell is so connected to our life experiences and memories more than any other sense.

I switched to Jellyfin from Plex about 6 months ago. Both have worked very well for me. Nice part about using Jellyfin over Plex is not having to sign up for a Plex account.
