Reading book for prolonged period of time (best somewhere in nature).
Writing longer texts/letters to put out excess of mind produce; the emotions.
Running (a few km at least).
Preparing firewood for winter (smells nice, good workout, having meaningful impact beyond just moving the body).
Having chickens (eggs - yolks mainly) + a bigger dog (to run with).
Optional: feeding the furnace in winter, watching it burning and how it works.
Avoiding caffeine.
Cooking for oneself.
Sex (the ^workouts and clean mind^ needed for - but it giving back) - meaning the many of all the other things and the physical act somewhere in the meantime.
Sleep well & repeat some steps.

But still can't find a decent solution to automate all of this.
uBlock/specialized addons often silently won't solve and the page doesn't work unless I manually approve the selection for the annoying 🍪 banner.
This is awesome - for Android TV/STB I usually struggle with the UI bloated with apps, ads, unwanted elements and can't do much about it.
This repo: https://github.com/Gathin23/cleanyourtv is an easy solution - either with AI agent, or if the HW is well documented, one-clik with companion Android app.
In my case the HW is not in database.
So finished this with the DS V4.1 Flash 1017 Thining (Max), ~ 15 min, cost ~0.35$.
Steps:
1) download OpenCode > connect an API (perhaps from the https://nano-gpt.com, they allow LN top-up, 5$ is enough)
2) clone the repo, run the OpenCode from within
3 enable the USB debugging on HW
4) past the prompt + switch to Plan mode (may add some info about HW, but it's not necessary.), let it churn > switch for Build
5) > wait for agent to invoke the ADB connection, confirm it and tick allow always for the MAC.
6) agent will ask you what should be done (DNS, disable Voice input or leaving Cast working, what to leave on the launcher and what to hide)
7) after work is done, verify with reboot if all is OK
8) enjoy
What could be done differently next time:
(Switching for Plan mode first, after explaining the info below, switch for Build.)
Tell the agent not to use OCR/prints screens for orienting in process, rather ask you about the progress and verification (should save time mainly).
For the apps hardcoded with FW (Netflix) choose just hide them from launcher (save few reboots while agent attempting for the impossible).
It's all non-destructive, reversible, there is not much what could go wrong imo.
Why so? It's just a protocol.
What am I missing?
Like he-e using the stock photos and the Ben uncover it all?
afaik it's the limit of hops (how many times can be msg re-transmitted) and there is this 'every node rebroadcasts' making the routing pain, using too much airtime.
With MC usually reaching devices dozens and dozens km away - mostly limiting is if there is coverage and if they are on signal atm.
For what I know all moved to MC from Meshtastic - don't know anyone going the opposite.
But definitely it's also about networking effect - if in the area you are often present is Meshtastic in use, stay with it, no gain screaming to empty void.
Flashing FW is easy (USB-C + browser and few clicks) so one can switch between them and recover/load the identity from backup (or load from app if existing already, just the app stay dormant if not in use) almost instantly.
Side note, it's interesting: on MC there is possible sending pictures (it does require a certain client) > https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/meshcore_ai_image_transmission_l1/
(In general this is possible everywhere by design.)
MeshCore it is.
Meshtastic isn't working good at all for multiple reasons.
(Can't scale and reliably deliver traffic past few hops is the most problematic outcome of its design.)
HW stays the same, just flashing different MC FW is needed.
(Only perhaps there might be not that good coverage yet in area where you are present with the HW most often. For me, didn't happen.)

Underrated YT content / #underratedyt
From time to time I'll post some content, finding it appealing but not pushed by the algo much - or is a niche yet may have bigger overlap with the world.
For today:
14 yrs ago Barry Cooper, ex-cop, explaining how:
- K-9 dog works
- hide the cannabis
- work with it, so it doesn't stick with you
- hide plants and maintain them without being discovered
- handling traffic stops
- ordering&shipping equipment online
- and more
It's a gem this one, fun to watch.

Fck you Signal.
Stop soliciting money unless could be gifted by BTC (LN).
Sure as shit you could do that if it's doable with a card (decoupling the payment from an account, right? Making it 'tax deductible').
Stop bullshitting how it's for protecting the user cos he doesn't know how to handle BTC anon-style. Tis none of your business.
It's my responsibility and I can handle it well. Let retards burn, the same as if someone shares prtscn of chat, can't be solved by any means of encryption.

How long the card last, after expiry do they renew with previous balance or?
Meaning do I need to buy a new one (so paying the Issuing fee again)?
(Normal cards I have are for years of usage and mailed by bank with no extra fees.)
The longer the boil, the better it gets.
I'd like soups because of this simple rule.

This is what bothers me most with passkeys:
"Attested passkeys are the last but most important type of passkeys you need to know about. These types of keys use what’s known as remote attestation to cryptographically verify – using the aforementioned tamper-proof cryptoprocessor that lives in all your modern devices – that you are using one of the several approved passkey managers"
This property makes them basically tied to the device of origin, or at best to a HWW (and the HWW may not work well everywhere).
"Critically, remote attestation requires the co-operation of your cryptoprocessor, your passkey manager software, your device’s operating system, and your device’s firmware to all pass the remote attestation check."
The complexity of this and what the process can reveal about the user?

Marvel's The Punisher (2017) is yet another Netflix-ed series - just 7/10 at best - that is not worthy to watch for me, streaming only as background now.

Too long, the production used some really cheap equipment for the commandos going after him.
Characters are quite predictable and most of them overplaying a bit with too much exaggeration to fit the suit they're given.
PTSD, heroin cover-up, and the Afghanistan used there with no depth.
Forced into the story to justify each one with a small side story - just to put it in context.
While viewers could be expected to know - it's part of USA culture already anyway.
It's annoying filler. Could be more subtle, like many things.
As example of the shallowness:
The agent Madani in the car chasing scene (entire part could be more aggressive) gets overrun, her car is destroyed.
That car of course must be some special model, a gift from her absent father, as a prerequisite for another mini-scene to explain just this.
Punisher, he's driving some Moostang ofc.
There is yet another filler scene, before this one takes time, obtaining the Punisher car from bad guys who were mutilating some workshop employees who just have in their possession a few Lambos, Moostangs and alike, in some shitty parking lot.
Cos USA is a car centric society, thus both must have the trophy car, for the job, for the covert operation.
It screams product placement all the time as much as Madani face screams L'Oréal as the good/bad guy shagging his way thru.
I'm just waiting for her mother - voice sounding like chain-smoker, having a urge to lit one up as well.

If I had to choose between a corndalorian and the @npub1uwj…axfl - I think it's clear who wins.
With the codes: 'V0WELCOME', 'V0MAX2OFF' it's 6$ down.
If buying SIM together with dongle, the dongle is 6$ down as well.
Shipping cost vary - (~5$ for a few destinations i checked).
https://www.9esim.com/
Physical SIM that allow storage for eSIM (various quantities, starting from 15) so makes it easy for each device to be eSIM compatible.
Really useful for:
- USB LTE dongles (MWAN backup with OpenWRT)
- notebook LTE cards
- photo traps
- the GLinet travel routers
Finally one can have @npub1vr2…dzvx everywhere.
(Pair with selfhosted @npub1z94…40jh balance watchdog for the SL account - https://github.com/nktrjsk/silent-link-watchdog)
They have even BT enabled version so it works with iPhone and its limitations (I have been told, me not iPhone user, can't verify).
For those who don't want to dox the IMEI while handling the process, there is the USB-C dongle to handle eSIM mngmt.
From the FAQ:
Is the software really open source?
Yes. The LPA app and drivers are open-source — that's what lets NekokoLPA, OpenEUICC, MiniLPA, and other community-maintained tools manage 9eSIM cards. If we ever stopped developing our own app, your card would keep working with whichever community LPA you prefer. Most other physical eSIM cards are locked to a single vendor app — ours work with any open-source LPA tool.

This is a list of the most interesting texts I've read in the past few weeks.
In order of how it resonates with me.
It's moreover completely random topic selection.
==
https://levels.io/why-i-am-unreachable
"The most important skill I learnt is how to Google things and figure things out fast. If you always ask other people how to do stuff you'll never learn that skill."
A blog post with well written reasoning why it's good to be closed to most of the incoming channels of communication.
==
https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/09/22/1144867/dont-be-fooled-summer-ai-hype
"Once there is time for experts in the relevant fields to examine what happened, a very different story emerges, but one that gets less media attention."
"We echo this call and note that the illusion of speed and urgency promulgated by the tech companies is also a ploy to misdirect both policymakers and the public."
Some grounding thoughts about the super hyped AI.
(I'm not anti-AI at all. Just the hype for some companies and some models is too much.)

Long read.
"So here’s my plea: stop using big tech and venture into the wild."
Nostr almost mentioned, but one had to read between the lines :)
BTC there in right context: "Bitcoin—and certainly not for the swathe of quasi-fraudulent so-called cryptocurrencies that have followed in its wake—but an honest assessment of the profound technical achievement that Bitcoin represents."
But the Telegram/Brave here is just so weird to me: [...] "that open source alternative applications such as Gab, Minds, DuckDuckGo, Telegram and Brave are yet as slick"

"It’s never a good idea to outsource your critical thinking and your opinions to others, especially a non-human AI."

https://www.smokingonabike.com/2025/01/04/passkey-marketing-is-lying-to-you/
Long read.
"If you’ve read all the above and feel like Passkeys are load of proprietary crap from Big Tech Companies, then you’re in the same boat I was until a few days ago. That’s exactly what the marketing is trying to tell you."
"Passkeys are a public/private keypair authentication system. That’s it." - this is what took me a while to understand and the feeling of keeping me on purpose shielded from the underlying principle doesn't fit well with me.
"To be very honest here, you risk having KeePassXC blocked by relying parties" - really I don't like this passive aggressive approach of the Passkey consortium.
Side note: for me, they way to go is with passkeys stored in a HWW.
Therefore transferable, not tied to specific device keystore, with option to copy them to another HWW for backup.
(So the device is already available, in case 1st one cannot be accessed. Can be stored in pswd mngr as well but I'd like to have this separated).
This could be a way to conveniently bypass the vendor lock-in many have problems with for various reasons.
Pity it's not that much of a common knowledge, and I still don't use it fully tbh.

A quick digest of how it feels to some, with knowledge of the topic they are searching for, to dig thru the AI assisted overview, being pushed by Google to the search.
"Google, a search engine which does not have human emotions, assumed that I had been spurned by a man in my life named Dario and decided what I wanted was an empathetic digital friend."
==
https://sixcolors.com/post/2026/10/silencing-airtags-enables-stalkers-and-domestic-violence/
"The AirTag Silencer is a simple device: remove the back panel and battery from an AirTag, position the Silencer’s highly engineered pin over the speaker, tap the pin with a hammer, and the AirTag’s speaker is destroyed. This prevents it from emitting an alert in three circumstances, only one of which is triggered by an owner. The other two scenarios aid stalkers and perpetrators of domestic violence, among others."

Only for the last sentence:
LN is definitely not pushed by any means as I'm having hard times to use it outside of few commerce/P2P.
Stablecoins are what they pushing instead as it's under the control (KYC hell), LN is here only as complementary service almost because some maxis push for it.
