  • How to make money with shitcoins 101:

    1. Pay some $100k to some dev to create something the slightly differs from the existing ones

    2. Pay some millions of dollars to some marketing agency to find a way to get this shitcoin popular. A funny name, a funny icon, or some solution in search of a problem. Something like “this shitcoin can lower the transfer fees of other shitcoins and also if you hold the bag you get 69% APR”

    3. When it launches you immediately buy it for pennies, or even directly access some premined quota (like 30% of whole distribution) that the dev left for you

    4. When idiots buy it, raising the price, you slowly dump it

    5. Clueless people did the staking (lock them for a year) of millions of “cat coin”, worth $1 each at the time thinking that they are going to get 69% APR. They actually get the 69% APR, but the problem is that each “cat coin” after a year is worth $0.000001 each












  • It’s still in alpha but hoarder is promising

    It’s designed to organize bookmarks, but can also support markdown notes with picture (a single picture, not multiple pictures)

    Unfortunately at the moment the mobile app is so alpha that doesn’t support creation or editing such notes, only new bookmarks or new photos.

    It uses a headless chromium to make screenshots for URLs.

    Optionally, can use a bullshit generator like ollama or openai api keys to automatically create a lot of useless tags to each note


  • What I’ve been doing:

    Easy option: because I only have around 40gb of music, I sync it between my PC and my phone using syncthing since 128gb is the minimum nowadays

    Hard option: streaming is cooler so I installed nextcloud with an optional plugin called “music” which allows to connect an app called “ultramusic” and it becomes “self hosted Spotify” with android auto support and all the bells and whistles. Disadvantage: Nextcloud is a moving target. For some reason they have to release new incompatible versions every two or three months. So for plugin developers this is a very annoying upgrade threadmill that eventually leads to burnout and that plugin dies. Even officially supported plugins sometimes don’t support the latest version when they launch it. If you choose to use nextcloud with docker, make sure to stay behind 1-2 versions (tag nextcloud:28 when nextcloud:30 is released) or your plugins might suddenly break without any warning. According to fanboys this is the industry standard nowadays and it’s up to the user to manually check the GitHub issues of each of the 30 plugins if it’s compatible before updating. Even if it’s official plugin. They call it “stable” but they mean “beta testing for the paid enterprise version”.
