What started as a simple PGP import feature inside Continuum unexpectedly evolved into a full local-first artifact attestation system supporting PGP, Bitcoin, and Nostr signing identities. This article explores detached signatures, portable proof bundles, and the realization that Nostr private keys can sign far more than relay events.
Uma análise crítica do modelo atual e as implicações que a inteligência artificial podem impor sobre este modelo.
The new commandment is a finished love. Christ made it on a cross. He gives it to you here in water and word and bread and wine. It is yours. The commandment and the gift are one. Faith and love are baked together like one loaf. Christ holds the one, and you hold the other, and there is no separating them. Christ went where you could not go, so that you could love as you have been loved.
Taking all thoughts captive
A tribute to the most brutal, visionary storytellers who gave Australia its wasteland mythology: the writers, directors, designers, stunt teams, mechanics, actors, and maniacs who turned dust, petrol, steel, leather, grief, and survival into cinematic scripture. Mad Max taught the world that the Australian outback is not empty — it is a pressure chamber where civilisation gets stripped down to bone, engine, instinct, and will. This satire borrows that sacred dust to ask a modern question: what happens when survival is no longer about fuel, water, or warboys, but childcare costs, waitlists, paperwork, and the economic sacrifice of the family line? Welcome to the new wasteland. The daycare gate is the citadel. The lunchbox is the war rig. The parent is the road warrior. Only the strongest bloodline survives. #ChildcareCosts #Australia #CostOfLiving #OutbackSatire #MadMaxEnergy #AussieParents #ParentingInAustralia #DaycareWars #OnlyTheStrongestSurvive #HousingCrisis #FamilyEconomics #SatiricalPoster #AustralianSatire #ModernSurvival #BloodlineTest
This is the advantage. Not God near in the way you wanted. Better than that. The Spirit who convicts — your sin named and buried, Christ’s righteousness declared and given, the ruler’s judgment executed and delivered — doing his work here, in this service, for you.
ERM is beginning to take shape as more than an Erlang mobile UI experiment. With the first shop-style demo, shared wxErlang theming, and NWC-powered Lightning payment flow, the core pattern is emerging: local Erlang apps that can request payments, consume credits, unlock actions, and verify outcomes without becoming custodial wallets or depending on fiat payment rails. The future here is not just “shopping with sats.” It is **behavioural credit**: a mobile runtime where actions can be defined, priced, paid for, executed, and verified under OTP supervision. ERM becomes the shell for apps that compute, communicate, pay, recover, and participate economically as real network nodes. #ERM #Erlang #OTP #LightningNetwork #NWC #Nostr #Bitcoin #DamageBDD #ECAI #MobileComputing #OpenSource #BehavioralCredit #VerificationEconomy #Sats #NodeNativeSoftware
With a grateful hat-tip to Douglas Adams, who taught us that the universe is much easier to understand once you admit it is absurd, this little story begins with a simple suspicion: Humanity did not become modern because it mastered war. It became modern because lunch kept trying to kill it. What follows is a mostly harmless account of civilisation, digestion, sewage, soup, microbes, and the long heroic struggle to eat something without immediately regretting it. #BadLunch #MostlyHarmless #DouglasAdams #HitchhikersGuide #HumanCivilisation #FoodHistory #PublicHealth #Sanitation #GermTheory #LunchTriedToKillUs #HistoryOfProgress #Civilisation #Microbes #SewageSavedUs #DoNotDieFromLunch

Light has always carried one of the deepest puzzles in physics: sometimes it behaves like a wave, spread out and full of possibility; other times it appears as a particle, arriving at one definite place in one definite moment. This tension is usually called the wave-particle duality, and it sits at the heart of quantum mechanics. This article offers a different metaphor for thinking about that mystery: the **Cosmic Eye of the Needle**. Rather than imagining reality as divided by a hard wall or “firewall,” this view imagines reality as passing through an aperture — a narrow point where possibility becomes fact. Before measurement, the quantum world seems open, relational, and non-local. After measurement, one outcome appears: one event, one location, one record in physical reality. In this sense, the “wave” is the field of possibility, while the “particle” is what survives passage into the world of causality. From there, the idea expands beyond physics into consciousness, perception, and coherence. If reality is constantly translating vast possibility into local fact, then perhaps the mind is not merely a passive observer. Perhaps consciousness can be more or less coherent with that translation process. A scattered mind may experience reality only as collapse, confusion, and loss. A coherent mind may preserve more signal as possibility becomes experience. This is where the idea of **information leakage** enters. The article does not claim that human beings escape causality or become magically omniscient. Instead, it explores a subtler possibility: that under certain forms of coherence, discipline, suffering, attention, or alignment, a being may become less opaque to the deeper structure of reality. More information may survive the passage from the non-local into the local. What mystics call revelation, artists call inspiration, founders call timing, and scientists call anomaly may all be different names for moments when the aperture leaks. The **Cosmic Eye of the Needle** is therefore a meditation on light, measurement, consciousness, and becoming. It asks whether reality is not merely a machine of objects, but a continuous act of compression — turning the infinite field of what could be into the narrow fact of what is. And it asks a final question: What kind of being can pass through that narrowing without losing the truth it carries? #CosmicEyeOfTheNeedle #QuantumPhysics #NonLocality #Consciousness #Coherence #WaveParticleDuality #InformationTheory #PhilosophyOfScience #Metaphysics #Reality #Causality #Aperture #SignalOverNoise #Mysticism #PhysicsAndConsciousness
Two accomplished mathematicians sit down for coffee and try to understand the modern AI paradigm. No panic. No hype. No pitch deck. Just proof-minded people watching an industry confuse probability with intelligence, benchmarks with truth, and agents with accountability. A light-hearted conversation about the clown show — and why the future belongs to systems that can prove behaviour under pressure. #ECAI #DamageBDD #AI #Mathematics #DeterministicAI #FormalVerification #Cryptography #EllipticCurves #BDD #Verification #TechLeadership #SoftwareEngineering #Nostr #LinkedIn
An Explanation of the Trinity, with a special focus on Jesus
This week included Bitcoin 2026, real conversations, a few book sales, and a physical reset I didn’t expect. Not everything went smoothly — but I showed up, and that matters.
Two kinds of time run through this Gospel. Chronos, which counts every loss and draws its conclusions. And kairos, which speaks the word of the risen Christ into the middle of those losses and names them for what they are: labor pains, not graves.
Software-driven obsolescence feels different because the object no longer has to break for its usefulness to die. A phone, car, printer, laptop, appliance, or smart device can remain physically intact while some invisible dependency expires: an update, cloud service, API, certificate, subscription, driver, app-store rule, or licensing server. This is historically new. For most of human history, obsolescence meant material decay: rust, fatigue, worn gears, broken parts. Now usefulness can be withdrawn remotely while the hardware still works. This generation is the first to experience that at planetary scale. Everything is converging into software: cars, homes, money, identity, tools, media, medicine, logistics, education, and government services. But at the same time, everything is diverging: possession from ownership, durability from support, repair from authorization, purchase from license, and local function from cloud permission. The question is no longer simply: “How long will this thing last?” It is: Who controls the continuity of its usefulness? If the answer is only the vendor, software becomes a leash. If the answer includes users, repairers, open standards, portable data, cryptographic ownership, and verifiable systems, software can extend the life of tools instead of quietly killing them. Software-driven obsolescence is not decay. It is dependency ageing faster than matter. #SoftwareObsolescence #RightToRepair #DigitalOwnership #OpenStandards #CloudDependency #PlannedObsolescence #TechnologyEthics #FutureOfWork #DigitalSovereignty #LocalFirst #CyberResilience #OpenSource #ProductDesign #ConsumerRights #TechPolicy #Verification #SoftwareDefinedWorld
Are you doing things your way or God's way?
I’ve been rethinking Sabbath — not as stopping work, but as stepping out of the pressure behind it.
It’s harder to rest when things are left unfinished. But maybe that’s exactly the point — learning to step away without needing everything to be resolved.
