Better get that #ActivityPub meetup platform ecosystem going soon...

Even better: they broke IndexedDB for pretty much everyone, and in the worst possible way. What a shit show.

Thanks for iOS 13 breaking localStorage in our Cordova apps entirely and without warning, Apple! Good job. 👍

Someone else's landlord threatening me with breaking into the apartment with police, before I had my first coffee: check.

This dude really doesn't like when plebs don't follow his every order. I merely wanted to make an appointment for the plumber, instead of having him dictate a day and time to me.

Second conversation, about the actual appointment:

> Someone can drop by Wednesday morning
> OK, that could work. What time?
> They can't say a time. Sometime in the morning.

Classic.

Gee, why am I not surprised?

South Park is becoming so timely, it's a bit unreal: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-08/apple-pulls-taiwanese-flag-emoji-from-iphones-in-hong-kong

I was just on my way to Prague main station with a 1 meter tall omnidirectional wifi antenna attached to my tote bag. A very old woman mistook it for a walking stick and immediately offered me her seat on the tram (already getting up while saying it).

Not even sure how to comment on that. Unbelievable politeness.

The Hong Kong protesters have now officially announced revolution:

I'm not sure if copying phrases from the US declaration of independence was a good idea, because it's confirming the official Chinese narrative more than necessary. Let's hope that things don't turn very ugly very soon.

Best pork knuckle I've ever had. Prague++

Success! https://github.com/lightningd/plugins/tree/master/rebalance works quite well for re-balancing channels.

The #LightningNetwork channel I opened from one of my nodes to General Bytes, who provide the POS terminals at #HCPP19, is already completely spent on my side. Forwarded ~80 payments for other visitors. Time to test some re-balancing plugins.

I'm so sorry: this isn't true at all! Not sure how I ended up where I did, but it's totally possible to just add custom links without doing KYC or signing up for Stripe!

Saturday night is going well. #hcpp19

Love the various open-source hydroponics farms around Paralelní Polis this year.

Also, if you were inclined to prove to Paralelní Polis that accepting zero-conf on-chain transactions is a bad idea, there's an Android app called "PayNoWay", which lets you test their system against double-spend attacks. Rumor has it that some people drink beer for free here.

Pro tip for #HCPP19 visitors: you can open a #LightningNetwork channel directly to the point-of-sale system's node. The ATMs offer an "open channel" button, where you can find the node address.
