I built this and I'm using it. It's a dead man's switch that monitors my Nostr activity instead of requiring manual check-ins. Any signed event resets the timer. If I am silent for a month, and then ignore a couple of warning DMs, this triggers. Then emails, webhooks, Nostr notes, or whatever are sent automatically.

What about a Nostr-native dead man's switch?
Instead of manual check-ins, it passively monitors your npub across relays. Posts, reactions, zaps — any signed event resets the timer. Your normal Nostr usage is your proof of life.
If you go silent for X days, it sends you a private DM as a last resort check-in. No response? It tries once more. Still nothing? It triggers — sends emails, publishes pre-signed notes, hits webhooks, whatever you've configured.
Self-hostable, runs on a Pi or a cheap VPS or alongside anything else you're already running. Single binary or Docker container. A few hundred lines of code. No third parties, no trust assumptions, no extra habits to maintain.
Advantages over existing tools like Aeterna or LastSignal:
• No check-in fatigue — you don't have to remember to click a link or enter a code every month forever
• Cryptographic proof — events are signed with your key, not just "someone clicked an email link"
• Stays inside Nostr — monitoring and check-in DMs all happen on the protocol, only the final payload actions (email etc) go outside
• Dead simple to run — it's basically just a relay subscription, a timestamp, and a timer
Doesn't exist yet I think. Worth building?

I gave Claude Code access to my Fastmail inbox via MCP (Model Context Protocol) and it's been surprisingly useful.
38 tools — search, send, draft, bulk operations, contacts, calendar. All from the terminal. Self-hosted with Docker + Caddy reverse proxy.
First thing I did: asked Claude to review my last week of email. It pulled 50 messages, categorised them, and flagged an overdue library book, an expiring GitHub token, and a meeting the next morning.
The interesting technical problem was making it work with multiple concurrent connections — the original server only supported one session at a time.

Follow-up: turns out @npub1exv…d828 is building bot support in the v6.5 beta! There's a Node.js client library that talks to the CLI over WebSocket. But here's the thing: the WebSocket server still only binds to localhost, so you can't run the CLI and bot in separate containers. That's exactly what my PR was intended to fix.

My AI agent now talks to me over White Noise instead of Telegram. E2E encrypted, no phone number, no platform reading our conversations — just MLS over Nostr. RAM usage at only 23MB right now.
I looked at @npub1exv…d828 first — great protocol, but the project is focused on mobile. My PR to support container deployments of the CLI (github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/pull/6609) has sat without review for six weeks. @npub1wht…r3ec's Marmot protocol turned out to be a better fit — open spec, interoperable clients, and a Rust library you can actually build against.

Your Linux machine has a production-grade VPN built into the kernel. No app needed.
One config file from your provider, one command to connect, and it integrates natively with your desktop's network toggle. Works with any WireGuard-compatible VPN — or your own VPS as the exit node.
I wrote up the full setup: provider config, system integration, and how to be your own VPN with a $5 VPS shared between friends.

2026-03-04 00:40:25 UTC

Most AI tools have some memory now, but it's siloed to one app, stored as flat text, and not searchable by meaning.
I built a self-hosted semantic memory server that any MCP-compatible tool can connect to. Store a thought, search by meaning later — not keywords. Capture from your phone via a web form, or just tell Claude to remember something.
The whole thing is two Docker containers behind a reverse proxy. No Supabase, no managed anything. Your memories on your hardware.

PSA for Australian bitcoiners with SMSFs.
The ATO published crypto audit guidance in October that says holding statements alone aren't sufficient evidence. Auditors must obtain "additional objective, supportable evidence." For exchange-held bitcoin, there's a path. For self-custody, there's nothing prescribed.
If your auditor can't verify your holdings, they must qualify your audit and report you for a Reg 8.02B breach. That's not optional.
ASIC took action against 28 SMSF auditors in H2 2025. The ATO is doing office visits. Reg 8.02B breaches are up to 12% of all SMSF breaches and rising. And from July, accountants become AUSTRAC reporting entities.
The government isn't coming for your keys. They're coming for your paperwork. And if the paperwork problem isn't solved, the next step is forcing SMSF holdings onto exchanges or approved custodians.
Don't give them the excuse.
I wrote up the full picture with primary sources: https://blog.dpinkerton.com/posts/smsf-bitcoin-self-custody-regulatory-pressure/

SeedSigner doesn't support message signing for multisig keys — it throws "Not implemented" for any m/48' derivation path. I raised this as an issue two years ago, no fix came, so I patched it myself.
The change is small (21 lines) and the actual signing function already worked — it was just the path parser blocking multisig paths unnecessarily.
I use message signing for key ownership and control verification in multisig SMSF custody setups via Gatekeeper (https://gatekeeper.dpinkerton.com). Coldcard handles this fine, but SeedSigner users were stuck.

I'd like to put the wind up auditors and accountants that the standard of evidence that they accept of bitcoin holdings (screenshots, personal declarations) is poor and probably negligent and that their handling of sensitive data (xpubs, wallet descriptors and addresses) likely breaches the Australian Privacy Act. My business offers reports that validate ownership and control using digital signatures (excellent evidence) and help protect bitcoiners' sensitive data. This service can be used by anyone and you don't need to be going through an audit to benefit. It is especially suitable for SMSFs though, which must undergo annual audits.

🔑 A Better Solution: Key Audits 🔑
CertainKey's attestation and audit service ensures control over the Bitcoin claimed as an SMSF asset by verifying the key holders' ability to sign - something a public address check can't provide. This also keeps wallet descriptors and xpubs private, reducing unnecessary exposure while ensuring proper security.
For accountants and auditors: it's time to move beyond basic address checks and adopt a more secure, privacy-focused approach to Bitcoin verification.
Let's secure SMSF Bitcoin holdings with confidence. 🔐 Try CertainKey today: https://certainkey.gatekeeper.beauty/

CertainKey is Bitcoin-only and focused on providing comprehensive, hands-on key audits and balance attestations for multisignature wallets.
Unlike other services that broadly cater to a range of digital assets or focus solely on custody solutions, CertainKey’s strength is its personalized, audit-driven approach for ensuring that designated custodians retain control over their Bitcoin keys—without requiring full custodial trust in third parties.

Good on you for sharing the experience. I chose an accountant that didn't restrict which exchange I used. I prefer bitcoin-only and Bitaroo is my favourite! The accountant that I chose is a bit incompetent though. Returns and audits go through alright but we were given the wrong number for rolling over at the start, a few other stuff ups and now their email filter blocks my emails that come from my own domain and include the word bitcoin. Yeah, I'm leaving them.

2024-09-27 03:01:02 UTC

If your SMSF holds Bitcoin, maintaining control over your private keys is critical. CertainKey's key audit service provides peace of mind by verifying that you or your designated custodian can still access and sign transactions for your Bitcoin holdings.

Some extra work to get Slide but worth it, I think.

I thought it was pom from pomegranate that sounds a bit like immigrant. Rhyming slang like Jimmy Grant also used for immigrant.

Tucker was great. Geez, had me in stitches. Aussie media are pathetic. Thanks so much for linking to this!

I'm in. Kagi is cool. Better search results. The reduction in commercially driven/advertising driven results is like a throw back to the early days of the net. They appreciate the small web too. Nice vibe. And you can subscribe using lightning.

Doing fine without the app store here. I use obtainium instead to download apps from github. It works but it's a little trickier than the app stores.

Love it! Bench press, bent over row, dips and pulldowns in my session with Dr Les Goh today. 😆

Nice one! I'd been using Nostr more and Twitter less anyway. Then I changed phones and found problems logging in to Twitter so I gave up on it and I don't miss it. The feed there seemed designed to rouse negativity and when I tweeted, it was into the void, I think.

I'm a few weeks in. From Android. I haven't used the Google Play services. All apps through Obtainium or web apps.

I think that I'll go the CLN route too. It's disappointing that the channels can't be really carried over from the retiring node. A fresh start it is.
I've got an old NUC with a weak processor (Celeron N3060) with a 1TB SSD and 8GB. I didn't want to junk this, or upgrade it, so I've tasked it solely with running the bitcoin-core daemon. It could chug along for another 3 years yet and do it comfortably.
Other stuff can go on the more-powerful node. electrs, CLN, mempool can go there and make RPCs to the bitcoin-core daemon. And it'll leave me with space for Immich, Nextcloud, Transmission-OpenVPN, Pi-hole, Plex, etc.

Of yeah, there was a comment in one the 402 Payment Required guides on YouTube to this effect. Is lnd still on the shit list?
I'm thinking of closing my lnd node. It's one of the last things that I have in Umbrel (and served by a pruned node and administered by Thunderhub.) If I shut that down, I can get rid of Umbrel. Umbrel has been okay but other stuff on the server is hindered by it because it monopolises nginx. I prefer to manage containers myself with Portainer and I've pushed bitcoin-core (unpruned) onto another server.

I recall that many were keen on core lightning about 18 months ago. Are there compelling reasons to use it still and instead of lnd?

Heat pump and buy bitcoin unless you've got free energy.

Why does YouTube serve me this after so long? What does the algo know? https://image.nostr.build/b77ffe2cd41f8f63996e40a66b8ca8978896aaec134668ed908bbea2df7602a7.jpg

RetroShare is an open-source, decentralized communication platform that offers secure messaging, file sharing, and forums through encrypted friend-to-friend connections.
I'll probably never use it. I already have SimpleX for messaging, Wormhole/torrents/Nextcloud for filesharing and Nostr for forums.
