For any of my comrades who are using SNAP, I wish I had something better to say than "if you crush 4 buckeyes with a hammer and tie the pulp in a sock you can wash a good sized load of laundry." English Ivy also has saponins, but I've never been able to make soap from it myself.
Ivy is everywhere. Buckeyes (Horse Chestnuts) are common in city parks (there are a ton in Seattle).
Yucca is also a good source of saponins, but it also has silica. That makes it a good scrubby soap. You can find these plants all over they're pretty common to find in yards.
If you can find acorns still (it's a bit late, but who knows), acorn grits are great and something you can survive on for a bit. Acorns need processing (it's easy to look up, but feel free to ask or check out one or Black Forager's videos on it).
If you've been following me for a bit, you probably already know all this. But if you don't, I hope it helps.
Any other forager folks are welcome to drop hints here that might be useful to folks in the city.

I find it harder and harder to lose myself in the computer like I used to. I used to have a glass of wine and compute until 4AM every night of the week. There's just nothing good on the computer anymore, or maybe it's that I've already experienced most of the stuff my capabilities will allow me to access. I might need a new tangent, or else a new thing.

I now need to find all those online profiles where I have described myself as an "inactive" pilot and remove the word "inactive" from them. After a hiatus of a dozen years, I just passed both the ground and air work portions of a flight review, and once again have a current "license to learn."

Content warning: re: bitcoin conference report

One room at the conference center is dedicated to an art gallery, showing pictures and images inspired by satoshi and bitcoin. Some are impressive and colourful, but some I find myself ideology opposed to their point of view.
Bitcoiners as a group tend libertarian and capitalist. Is there common cause between them and me, a more anarchist and socialist tending individual?
I think we can agree that the government money system is broken, disagree about the aims of a replacement system, and disagree on the actual effects of a bitcoin based system.
Some say bitcoin is money for enemies. We do need to transact with people without having to agree with them.

So I think I'll need to read up on it a bit. I understand that "Passkeys" try to do something similar as SSH pubkeys.
But do you know a good technical explainer of what's going on and how it works?
(Yes, I could search myself but I am looking for recommendations of articles you have read that you found helpful and clear.)

I hate being told what to do. I also find it hard to accept ideas from other people - my partner especially. I think it’s because I want to find solutions myself and do it in my own time. I’m often overwhelmed with things when she starts talking about another thing that needs sorting out. I feel really angry when she does that. I will try to communicate better in those situations. Sometimes I don’t need problem solving, just a hug.
