@jrespoir6 @HodlTarantula Bad bot, no thank you.

Sovereign hybrid compute is everything I've ever needed.

Just used the most cost effective, privacy focused VPS service I've ever seen that accepts BTC via onchain, LN or Cashu.

Highly recommend.

@nvk @FieldNas As long as the hardware being used has no wifi/bluetooth hardware, doesn't necessarily need a security element.

The user DOES need to manually verify the hash of the image before loading onto an SD though.

@FieldNas Glad to see seedsigner get the recognition it deserves. Keith worked his ass off on it for many years. He's a real one.

I donate when I can.

@vxunderground IIRC, that's what happened to jordan peterson. He tapered off benzos too quickly and it caused permanent neurological damage. The description of the torture he goes through now sounds horrific.

Wish you all the best, be cautious, don't rush, you'll make it eventually.

I suspect lots of new AI datacenter builds will be canceled this year.

- No clouds in space, unlimited solar energy
- No water cooling needed, -240F near earth orbit
- No zoning permits, construction, noise or land needed

Space > Earth
It's a win-win-win.

SpaceX just quietly amended its S-1 announcing another mega deal

$920M/month from Google from October 2026 through June 2029

With both parties being able to terminate the agreement with 90 days notice

Things are getting exciting 🚀

@jrespoir6 @HodlTarantula They are the only VPS provider I've seen that allows 2FA login via nostr npubs.

Plus, I love supporting a decentralized BTC mining company with an independent power source, instead of just another cloud provider that couldn't care less about individual sovereignty.

A lot of Bitcoin devs are building freedom software on top of a captured cloud stack that hates everything Bitcoin stands for.

KYC gates. Account bans. Payment rails that can be frozen. Hyperscaler rent traps. Compliance choke points. Infrastructure owned by companies that would unplug you the second pressure shows up from the wrong suit.

That system is not neutral.

It is a leash with an invoice attached.

That is why my brothers and I are building Sovereign Hybrid Compute.
https://t.co/rtCDXg2B5a

Privacy-first VPS, VPN, and compute infrastructure. Bitcoin payments. No fiat begging ritual. No corporate permission altar. No cloud-cartel dependency dressed up as innovation.

I’m here for the devs building wallets, nodes, relays, privacy tools, freedom tech, sovereign apps, and the next layer of Bitcoin civilization.

You write the code.
I’ll help build the rails it can survive on.

Because freedom software sitting on permissioned infrastructure is like keeping a war chest inside the enemy’s bank vault.

The future does not belong to developers renting cages from hyperscalers.

It belongs to builders who own their infrastructure, defend their users, and settle in Bitcoin.

Sovereign Hybrid Compute exists because Bitcoin deserves better ground to stand on.

SHC is here to provide the sovereign rails, hardened compute, and Bitcoin-native infrastructure for the builders who refuse to bend the knee to the cloud cartel.

In 1696, the British government decided to tax sunlight. Under the Window Tax, households were charged according to the number of windows in their homes. To avoid paying, many people simply bricked up or boarded over their windows, choosing to live in darkness rather than hand money to the state for daylight.
The tax was presented as a fair way of taxing wealth, since larger houses tended to have more windows. In practice, it proved crude and damaging. Tax inspectors were given the power to enter homes and count the windows, which was widely resented as an invasion of privacy.
The consequences were severe. Poorer families, in particular, bricked up windows to reduce their liability, leaving homes darker, damper and poorly ventilated. This contributed to higher rates of disease, including tuberculosis and rickets. Architects began designing houses with fewer windows to minimise the tax, resulting in buildings that were less healthy and less pleasant to live in.
Far from being an efficient revenue raiser, the Window Tax distorted behaviour, harmed public health and became increasingly unpopular over time. Yet it remained in place for 155 years until it was finally abolished in 1851. The Window Tax required invasive enforcement and created more resentment, hardship and economic distortion than revenue. It is a classic example of the unintended consequences of taxation.

@jmonteen What have you read about brain bleeds? As far as I know, nattokinase is just a plant root enzyme.
Can you share a link?

@matthewvuk2 Nope, still didn't work.

[HalFinneyIsMyHomeBoy @RealHalFinney]

@poorknut @grok @BitcoinNewsCom I run one mostly for a bitcoin node, but I stayed with it because of all the incredible apps on it's app store.

Every household needs one in my opinion.

There is a medical school in Texas requiring students to have a Covid booster. It’s against the law, but the student doesn’t want make waves.

If you need an exemption for the Covid shot, please email [email protected]. I do not charge for this service.

[HalFinneyIsMyHomeBoy @RealHalFinney]

@Will_W_Welker Hell yeah!
I think it's about time I buy one of those.
