That looks so good! I just bought some fennel that I'm going to toast and use with my regular spice mix.
I'm gonna try this too but I need a bunch of things first. I've never cooked a beef variant of seitan.
Thank you for the recipe!

What percentage of big banks are buying #BTC to quantize their assets from the fiat they are manipulating? How big of a key role do they have in such a scenario?
In suggesting how I worded this is because that is exactly what they are doing. The re-distribution of fiat when a person uses/deposits a monetary insertion.
I've always had that question. And whether they can manipulate BTC enough to influence a direction to manipulate in their favour.

Tonight was the first time I made a #vegan meat alternative.
Loosely following a recipe, I made what looks like sausages. The mix is more crumbly than dense, like pork sausage consistency.
But because of the spice mix, it tastes like chicken.
Spice mixes:
Dehydrated veggie spice mix, veg boullion, sage, garlic, onion, tomato paste, red wine vinegar, dehydrated mushroom granules.
The Vital Wheat Gluten(80%) and water ratio was 1:1.
I could see myself eating it more than TOFU, TVP.

Thursday is my Friday. Whew. Good Friday tomorrow feels totally odd. March went by really fast for me.
Not really celebrating anything, don't really follow it anymore.
I bought myself a guitar, it's arriving today. Pretty excited for that. It's one of those Donner acoustic silent guitars. It'll be nice to practice at any time of the day.

One of my favouite Ambient/Electro tunes is JJ Leaves LA. He's playing with Brian Blade here. One of the best Modern Jazz Drummers in the world. They work together quite a lot.Of course Jim Wilson on Bass/Synth.

Browsing a video, seeing an introduction to a new social media platform that is built on old standards, and people trying to leverage it, makes me sad. At best, a web 2.0 standard and a fuck ton of effort.
With its newness, it's already deprecated.
We have things like Blockchain and NOSTR that give what people want. Including privacy, decentralization, and freedom including NIP protocols at its core built infrastructure as standardization.
NIPs break it down into key elements which makes it easier to manage in such an evolving world and makes me think that it's going to be here for a really long time.
Joining here, the continuous learning, seeing it expand into even more of a plethora of services -- it rocks! I still have so much to learn. Probably one of the best things I've joined in the last 10 years.
As a user, I just want to say thanks!

Amy King - Heart Is An Aeroplane
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr8KcNe5_vs
Amy King is an amazing artist, and producer. She worked at Grant Avenue Studio for years. Which is a few blocks away from me.
It's amazing to realize that so many musicians have been around these parts right in my backyard. Grant Avenue was Daniel and Bob Lanois' studio back in the day. Managed by Bob Doidge for years. U2, Lanois Brothers, Brian Eno, John Paul Jones, Talking Heads, Tom Cochrane come to mind. There are many more.

Good morning. Listening to Mark Lanegan while going to work. Planning another trip of a lifetime soon.
I'm not sure if that's two lifetimes lived but the first trip was successful. I didn't die.
One of those things where you shouldn't have really lived but you did and now you have stories that will be remembered forever. Which you are reminded everyday.
From giving up sovergnity in Canada to traveling to California. Buying a house with someone who ultimately fucks you over in Hawaii.
Buying into someone's past, which ultimately gave you no choice to be homeless in another country living in the streets of Hawaii to meeting a Buddhist monk and a hippie for a plan out of desperation in Ka'u.
To new beginnings, right? #stories #life #survival

Some songs I recorded and produced. These were done with VCV Rack and Harrison Mixbus.
Every sound was curated by in VCV Rack. The drums were very adventurous to record because I had to look up various tunings for each head, especially the snare. And tune frequencies to match the sound that was needed. To get the snare sound, I used a noise variant(red, white, black) which all have different frequencies and sounds.
The Jazz tune, I really concentrated on the bass or lower end spectrum of sound. At that time, I was really into listening to the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex - Life Begins Again album. A couple of the tunes, Billy Mohler's bass sound was the inspiration. Dirty, open, overdriven that almost sounds like it's being thrown out of a Fender Bassman.
Everything took hours to think up, process, and post process. Even if some of it is quite a mess, I love it. It's dark, sometimes congested, but I'm happy with the results.

Made a bunch of electronic tunes within the last 7 years or so. I'll add some here I guess. I just have to figure out some cover art. Probably something generated.
I mainly used VCV Rack dumped into Harrison Mixbus. You're able to record each channel to a track which keeps everything really pro sounding. A lot to learn if you're going to that level, of course.
I remember using #JACK as the backend between both. Used Windows, only because I wasn't really creating when I had a similar setup in Linux. I was always trying to optimize my system for audio. Windows just allowed me to get VST3 support, and it worke well.
Conditionally, I'd suggest Linux-only. But whatever works well for you. They both did. But I'm more of a Linux fan. Especially in #audio, and #community, #FOSS. I was very far away from the FOSS initiative dabbling with audio during that time.

Am I in the right mindset to be thinking of purchasing a Linux phone now? Isn't the enemy enshittifying Android? Or will be? Removing the ability to add other stores?
I should have started thinking about that a long time ago, but options are still pretty expensive. I'm not really into the $1k phone thing.
I think my favourite phone was my OnePlus 6T before the WebOS update or whatever. Everything was so good on it. Especially the camera. I had zero issues. Bought it renewed, and had no complaints at all.
It would be nice if Graphene could go on OnePlus phones. Midrange especially. OnePlus + Graphene sounds like a dream with similar or better spec than the 6T.

A few years ago I tried making a starter. I was down for the night. Everything off in the house. **BOOM**
I forgot to loosely add the lid to the bowl on top of the fridge. Quite a mess. And the trajectory was quite the ordeal. Lessons learned from that. 😁

Forgot I bought Rye Bread a couple weeks ago. #Baking some Rye Bread before sleeping for the night.
A couple days ago I found out that you can use fruit water for making sourdough starters. The yeast from the fruit #fermentation makes it the easiest to prepare a fermented fruit water.
I'm not sure if frozen fruit would allow fruit water an energy exchange into yeast/fermentation.
I don't really know too much about fermentation, but I **do** know it's good for you. And Sourdough Rye sounds amazing right now. Hopefully that will be the option soon.

I think they both are combined. But you can set it up differently. Just set your feeds to show different things.
The standard is called nips.
In Nostria go to your feeds tab. The top right go into feed options. Continue to configure how you want them to show. There are all sorts of options.
Can even feed your tags through a feed. Super helpful.

In my opinion, intelligent relay routing should be present in every application. It's the infrastructure that gets #Nostr communications out there. The backbone for communication.
How would I infer, "Intelligent #relay routing"?
- Fastest Ping in Return
- Uptime of Host Server
- Available Bandwidth
> Network
> Hardware
> RAM
- Types of NIPs available as Factor for Service
- User Prosperity and Non-Soveignity
When I suggest *non-soveignity*, I make an example as we're really trying to get that soverign out of that era. But a definition of a soverign era is also a marketed one.
How do you draw that line? And do marketers on the #Nostr network implement to contingency?

Veggie Boullion, smoked paprika, pepper, no salt veg spice, a couple cloves of garlic, sage, tomato paste.
Added boiled veg pasta when pasta and soup was finished cooking. Had to add boiled water to the mix. Turned out really good.

I like the privacy aspect of #Nostr. The community is pretty wicked. I love how I can use a lot of different complimentary services with the data I contribute.
I pretty much stopped using everything else a while back. I tried to get banned from Twitter when Musk took over. But that didn't go exactly as planned.
I used a greasemonkey script to remove my public data on their network. There was a lot of I/O processes while deleting my things. Since they changed the API, there was no 3rd party services/apps to log into and use like past years. Since it went strictly paid API usage, for an absurd amount of money.

Feeling enlightened that Nostria is giving me a great feed now. I had to configure feeds from public relays.
I have 4 or 5 public relays configured, in the "relay options" but they didn't really provide an updated feed for some reason. Maybe they are based on an algorithm?
But since I have configured a public facing feed like nos.lol to a channel in the client it feels a little more aggregated. Possibly a little too much. Maybe I'll do the same for another relay that is unpopular.
Hopefully I can somehow sort the raw feed dynamic into interests in another channel that have hastags.

Thank you. Looked into again. Fees are too much for me right now. Hell, a public-facing non-custodial wallet with Alby Hub sounds great, too.
But I think I'll have to wait to add more coins so it's at the recommended amount. I think self-hosting is my niche since it'd a nice way to gain a few fees via transactions from the node/liquidity. Not a fan of it being public facing, but I can live with it.
All of this looks pretty promising but I don't really like all the fees. But it's probably worth it.

From my previous blog post, converting BTC to Lightning was pretty simple. It is easy to overthink these processes.
I used Kraken to convert #Fiat currency to #BTC, then I used #Coinos to transfer the BTC from Kraken, Even though the Coinos website shows both Lightning and Bitcoin, I transfered Btcoin and it gave me Lightning in the wallet. I'm unsure if it still gives access to BTC, but I was excited when Lighting populated after the transactions.
It's not really documented but I am glad that it worked out as it did.

How are Canadians Transitioning to LN?
I've been stuck on trying to figure out the best way to convert CAD to LN to get my Sats in.
From a locale perspective, for the first time looking into trading fiat currency to LN, it's been a difficult adventure.
I spent all night looking into a few different exchanges. Like Kraken, for example: Monero can't be bought with my tender in my locale. But I am able to buy BTC and trade to XMR on ORANGE FREN.
Do I convert from my Fiat currency to BTC on one exchange, then use another to convert BTC to XMR, then from XMR to LN?
Or should I look into a Canadian broker? Right now, I'm not really dealing with a large amount of currency for exchange. I just want some LN the safest way possible. Or hell, even the easiest way possible.
I looked into Kraken, Orang Fren, and Eigen.

https://www.relays.land gives few options that are available. I'm sure there are others.

Yes, I am using it now. A reply from an AI Bot had suggested an Air-gapped machine or LibreOffice(offline). Thank you. ☺

You could very well just use a WebApp to do it, like I just seen. But then, question its way of recourse on trust?

What's a secure way to get a QR Code for your keys? OpenOffice? Is there a trusted authenticator service that allows QR Code distribution? By that, as an example, apps like Snort ask for a QR Code to sign in. Or at least one way.
Am I overthinking this?

Always loved the tune. Amazing cover. Thanks!

Through hours of browsing and having discussions about Nostr on the web these last couple days, these are my favourite services so far:
https://coinos.io/ -- I love the simplicity of this wallet. It doesn't ask for anything upon sign-up, an it works very well.
https://nosta.me/ -- It's like a "Beacons" Web App which gives you all the necessary information about your resources in front of you. Nosta has been extremely helpful for me. I would use a service to try to configure the things I configure on Nosta, and they would mainly give me hell by not changing, or not staying enabled. Nosta is so much better than those "Beacons" apps.
https://habla.news/ -- A longform blog-centric use case. I like the feeling of it because unlike Medium, it doesn't ask for Stripe, and with that, the underlayment is totally different because it doesn't want you to be a "commercial" entity if you want to receive any sort of profit(lightning). Fuck all that.
https://jumble.social/ -- A great micro-blogging, #shortform platform. It reminds me of older iterations of similar things. Not the Blue Bird, and definitely not the whale or the butterfly! We got the #nostrich, baby.
Nos2x -- https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/nos2x/kpgefcfmnafjgpblomihpgmejjdanjjp -- A no frills signer that works very well. The original. At first I used Flamingo in #UnGoogledChromium but learned that it was deprecated. I wanted to see what its successor was. I am still pondering, but nos2x is very smooth for what it does.
https://nostirc.com/ -- It is Internet Relay Chat on a Nostr instance. You are verified by your key, and has been a smooth ride so far. Join #introductions on #Nostirc. It will work with your favourite IRC Client as well. The people are rad.
https://stacker.news/ -- Pretty new to this platform, but it is like #reddit but totally different. It looks be be heavily lightning-centric. I can't wait to dive in more.
https://nostr-pins.shakespeare.wtf/ -- #Pinterest-inspired platform that allows you to post and aggregate and pin pictures from around the web.
https://nostr.net/ -- An amazing web store for #Nostr that I'm sure most of you know about. I think it was one of the first things I went to when I joined Nostr.
If you know of any more cool services, please let me know with a reply! Some #lightning would be rad as well!

Good evening. A new day is almost done, and I've been thinking of Nostr all day. I also think I kept thinking about it all night last night, and only had less than 1 hour of sleep. 😁
My fault of course, with a impeding migraine and all. But here I am.

I didn't receive my sats. Kinda weird. I wonder if my wallet is set up proper.
Looking for any type of accumulation since I did get 2 zaps a few hours ago. My wallet says zero, while I received 26 or so on Jumble.

Yeah, it is pretty nice. I never really explored any other instances except one. It was pretty nice. But not too active. I like it, but I think I like Nostr better.
Just the decentralization, and other services that are available. I love how it is built up on different relays. There's kind of a valuation of content that isn't ad-supported. I think it's a more valuable system than the others. And it's relatively new, being actively developed.

How difficult is it to set up a relay?

2026-03-01 17:16:33 UTC

Having an issue posting from primal.net with my browser. I'm using a modified Ungoogle Chromium that shouldn't have issues. Either the post button is greyed out or if I post, it doesn't show.

Is there a Canadian #nostr server? A little slow here but I'm not complaining.

Insofar; Coffee, Toast, The Saints. And more coffee.
I'm in the birthplace of the English Invasion of Canadian #protopunk. It's still much alive. A larger scene than Toronto, much different approach.
I went to a punk talks reception Friday night. Journalist and author Liz Worth hosted it at the Gabba Gool. A private club with #DIY punk ethos.
Italian Meatball and veg sandwiches were served.

Never in my life have I bought bitcoin. Can zaps be converted to bitcoin?
How are they working for you?

I went from trying to get banned from Twitter deleting the enshitification by removing my posts with a script ... to not using Mastodon much at all ... from signing up to #nostr.
This feels great, but I am slow-learning.

Hello World. I would say this is my first post, but it is my second. With a different client this time.

Is there any way to stop the rotation of the android client on #nostria?
