I don’t usually post things like this - maybe due to a yearly sense of failure 😅 (by most conventional metrics) or alternatively a reluctance to rub it in if others have had even harder years. But I’ve come to think that not just private gratitude, but occasional public sharing might actually be beneficial. & so, having now dawdled / hedged long enough, here are some things I'm thankful for in 2025 😂 -

I've spent the past year learning Morse code, and it's ended up being a great deal of fun. I've had a lot of questions. I've tried to share what I've learned with others as I've gone along.
To celebrate the end of the year, I wrote a combination of information, story, and advice. How to get started, mobile apps and websites, books, getting on the air, learning to send, POTA, SST, keys and keyers. I'm not fluent or expert yet, but that means that I still remember what's hard!

Ahhh. I've 'downgraded' to a (dell) laptop with physical touchpad buttons and dedicated pgup/pgdn keys, and it's sooooo much nicer.
When I finally need to upgrade from this laptop (a latitude 5410 which was originally released in 2020), hopefully lenovo will have continued their trend of going back to non-soldered ram in their t14 laptops.
Panel asking what nostr doesnt fix?
Relay centralisation could enable censorship, and the UI asking users to manage private keys is tricky.
Could one app become a centralisation choke point? They say no. Agreed. Nostr has very good migration here, if one app goes bad it's easy to move.
Privacy is not solved here, since almost all content is public anyway, by design. But since so users have public keys, it's a step towards enabling privacy. Agreed, and at least clients won't generally spy on every mouse click and scroll pause.
No mention of the thing I think most important, that censorship resistance means poor moderation that means bullying, spam, and harassment. That's tricky to solve I think. The fediverse model seems more suitable for good moderation.

TFW you’ve got your computer on your lap and a ray of low winter sun comes in at a shallow angle and it’s suddenly obvious that your screen and keys are horribly filthy.
At what point does anyone think it will be economically feasible for a government to speculatively decode bulk intercepts of circa 2025 traffic (using, say, 2048 bit RSA keys) using quantum computers?
As in you've got 100k qubits you're not otherwise using, and no real energy constraints.

Finished up Day 11 of Advent of Code and it was definitely easier than Day 10. Nothing fancy and it's pretty fast. Did have to think about how to get part 2 solved, but it was more an implementation issue more than me just smashing keys and hoping a solution fell out.

Many #Terraform providers using SSH do not check the SSH host key... they just run with ssh.InsecureIgnoreHostKey...

Not sure what the difference between a panel and a"fireside chat" is. There is no fire.
But here's a fireside chat on what nostr is.
Nostr is freedom for Identity. Accounts without hosts. Publishing without publidhers. Censorship resistance without platforms deciding who gets to say what.
It's not a silo in which you can be tapped as the service enshitifies, since it's a protocol with accounts you control, you can't switch clients or relays without loosing social graph or contacts.
Nostr is notes and Other Stuff, what other stuff? the panel is working on an audiobook publishing system with perhaps a required payment and affiliate revenue share. E-commerce, video publishing, zap stream for live video with zap payments.
Onboarding can be tricky with private key management needing to be understood and such a range of options of clients and what relays are. Can we make it easier?
Perhaps by abstracting away the fact it's nostr at all. Devine users don't even know they are using nostr. But this robs users of the understanding they may need to move clients or use the same account for video and notes, say.
Perhaps by making a private messagnger, the panel thinks people are used to using multiple messenger apps. Though I find they hate that, and that's why they refuse to install signal. They feel they don't need it since they already have WhatsApp with a bigger network.
In the end it's education. We have to teach literacy so people can read and write, we have to teach public keys encryption so people can do so securely.

Day two introduced again by Mad bitcoins .
Then the history of art on bitcoin includes satoshi and his original logo, ASCII art in the Blockchain, Cassius coins with scratch off keys, these pictured images of fake satoshi and 200 logos.
Exploded from there, trading cards, the rare Pepe's.
What makes it bitcoin art?
Symbology. The logo. Religious symbology. Is it a cult?
Memes. Memes catch and go in a fashion which is unpredictable and fits the whole history to a timeline.
Art builds culture and heros proliferate bitcoin culture for all.
Art traditionally goes up in value but none of it seems to outpace bitcoin itself.
Some is for sale in the gallery but it'll unlikely be a better but then 30 percent discount bitcoin today 😆

Paraphrase of my #IOT hardware rant on slack (unsurprising, since I maintain https://github.com/unixorn/internet-of-trash/)
In a perfect world IOT hardware companies should:
- Have to escrow the firmware. And escrow the source code, not just the binary blob
- The firmware isn't allowed to use binary blobs as device drivers. Chip manufacturers will have to suck it up and document their chips or hardware companies won't be able to use them
- Have to escrow any keys required to update the firmware
- To be sold, have to have a local API, with at a minimum, functionality to update the firmware once the hardware company stops support. No "You have to use our crapware that only works on a phone/computer OS two major versions old, and it has to download firmware from our servers that got turned off when we went out of business / dropped the product's support
- Eighteen months with no updates causes release of the escrowed firmware and update keys. There are bound to be at least some security updates required in that time
- Have to have clearly labeled pads on the board for updating firmware and running diagnostics.
- Not be allowed to lock consumers out of reflashing the firmware. If someone flashes custom firmware before the escrowed firmware is released, and the custom firmware bricks the device, that's on the person who reflashed it, not the company.

So I have been using Twitter just for browsing for the last year or so, with little to no posting (mainly just replies)
I got prompted to re-roll my security keys (because they are killing off the old domain)
but it now keeps asking me to re-roll or verify my email but nothing works.
I sent a support ticket, but I doubt I will get a response (And if I do, I will get a 💩 emoji response), so I really believe that is me done with Twitter.
Black Coffee from lnbits likes internet of things, but doesn't like the way it tends to work with centralised servers and spying companies running them.
But what if your coffee pot and lights and smart plugs were nostr instead?
Nobody can cut your machine off, it has it's own keys and encryption, you could even ruin your own relay to talk to it instead of using public relays.
Remote control without having to expose the home network.
You could even make it require zaps and so make a vending machine.
Demonstration by sending lightning requests to the coffee pot on stage works better than the mikes that have been feeding back this afternoon 😆
