Last Notes
I never even want to set foot on a cruise ship.
How many Nostr clients have implemented accessibility features for people with disabilities — such as image alt text for the visually impaired — in the three years since this post? If not, why not? I thought we wanted to #grownostr and onboard the world.
@npub1xxd…kt7a just added it today using NIP 92 media attachments metadata (imeta) tags. It’s live on the web, and rolling out to Android and the upcoming iOS TestFlight over the next few days.
This image has alt text. If you can’t see it in your client, consider submitting a feature request to support it. There’s no excuse for Nostr to be so far behind every other major platform and protocol in this area. We already have the tools to build it.

Making technology work for blind people is “woke”? What a stupid fucking attitude. Anyone could end up permanently disabled tomorrow. This is why the rest of the world thinks bitcoiners have their heads up their asses. And they’re not wrong.
You guys could have called it literally anything. Even Magic Moose cheese. It doesn’t matter that it’s not from a moose. Canada had full creative license, and completely dropped the ball.
That word has no definition or pronunciation where I come from.
They don’t call it American cheese in Canadia, do they?
Pizza Bone is my new band name.
These will not be permitted in the U.S. because most people are terminally stupid and will say they are bad for blocking views of the landscape or killing birds, or some such nonsense.
Only took you two weeks to change your tune.

Buying bitcoin with commercial property cash flow can strengthen a balance sheet only if the building's obligations have first claim on the money.
Rent has jobs before it becomes investment capital: operating expenses, debt service, taxes, planned capital work, lender-controlled reserves, and distributions required by the ownership agreement. If money assigned to those obligations is counted as a bitcoin reserve, a vacancy or repair can turn normal volatility into a forced sale.
The useful move is to separate time horizons. Keep practical near-term needs in operating cash. Hold intermediate obligations in assets chosen for liquidity and principal stability. Only capital beyond those demands belongs in a long-horizon bitcoin allocation. An 18-month dividing line can be a planning heuristic, but it isn't a promise that bitcoin will recover on schedule.
Before the first purchase, approve a treasury policy that defines the order of payments, minimum reserves, bitcoin allocation limits, custody, signing authority, and who can change the plan. That policy turns conviction into a repeatable decision while conditions are calm. Bitcoin can add strategic options, but only after the property can keep operating without selling it at the wrong time.
That always makes it faster, as everyone knows.
I refuse to use them anymore. Got so tired of asking for it. Now I just build my own.
Oh hi, @npub1xxd…kt7a iOS. 🖖

I’m just going to make a full-page composer now, because why not?

Does Bernie Sanders at least still get to throw people in jail for 20 years?
I am a case study in failure.
That's the thing with bugs, they do stuff that don't make sense at all.
Ooh, I hope it’s another one full of mandatory KYC requirements to be handled by a public-private joint venture of predictable entities with a decades-long track record of data breaches.
Pro tip for nostr devs.
Occasionally check your bandwidth usage, it can get out of hand.

Nasty cache bug for attachment downloads in White Noise, we had a loop of download, clear cache, download all files again. Fixed now!

Happy Sunday. The bottom is in. ☕️

You're seeing the old app we stopped working on.
We'll release the new one soon.
would not go that far, but it is this little cultural expression and an anchor for a story. In a way i felt obligated to get it, and it makes me chuckle ever so slightly every time i see it.

I borrowed against my HELOC at a 5% promotional rate and bought STRC at $94.13 in late September 2025. A $50,000 illustration using my actual economics bought 531 shares.
Over 5.5 months, it collected $2,379 in distributions, paid $1,151 in HELOC interest, and had a $3,129 unrealized gain. Net profit was roughly $4,357, an 8.7% return.
The spread drove the trade. STRC's return-of-capital distributions reduced cost basis instead of creating current taxable income. On March 10, 2026, an 11.5% yield against a 6.98% post-promo HELOC rate produced about $2,260 in annual carry on $50,000.
Debt makes the exit matter as much as the income. If borrowing costs erase the spread, STRC could also trade below $100 par when you need to sell and repay the HELOC. Its variable dividend can shrink, and holders have a preferred claim on Strategy's residual assets rather than a direct claim on its bitcoin.
For a FIRE portfolio, position size is the real decision. Positive carry can fund expenses while your bitcoin compounds, but the position has to be small enough that a bad unwind doesn't force the rest of your plan off course.

I know what magnets are.
I guess that makes me nobody.
Tried it on some web scrapping and it was surprisingly good. Although it excels mostly in price/speed. Writing for it by hand is tedious, but other clankers are good at leveraging it.
@npub1xyx…70uw are you joining? 👀
You’re not supposed to give it full access with no rules…
But everyone dismissed it as a joke last week when a bunch of researchers claimed AI would kill us all…

Sidecar now shows both in notifications, and replies in the corresponding kind to each, so whichever path of pain the majority of clients choose, we can be ready.
I just want to say that even though we’re a small bunch, there sure are a lot of smart, talented, and creative motherfuckers among us.

If it comes from the client it’s not something we can control because the client hands the entire post directly to Sidecar to sign. That’s why I built an onboard composer, so you don’t need to post from the client at all, even replies can be sent directly from the extension if you want.
Or, we had the option of a super-lame figurehead for a predictable establishment machine or Gozer the Destructor, and we went with the Destructor.

I think some of you are really going to like this new @npub1car…f0dd feature… 👀

Let’s get @npub1a2c…w83a right on that, she’s good at numbers.
Thank you for confirming what I already knew. She’s as dumb as a rock. Now back to your regularly scheduled demented pedophile destroying the White House.
She would always be welcome.
That’s average. Two more and they call you a power user.
