I just published my eleventh Nostr recap. While I was working on it last Saturday, my PC was broken. Then I was trying to do it with the laptop. But it also gave me some errors with restarting. Anyway, I completed it with both the laptop and my phone.
Thank you, jurjendevries (npub1l77…swft) for motivating me to complete this recap.

quoting nevent1q…mlluToday while I am working on my nostr recap my pc went turned off suddenly. When I am trying to turn it on again it didn't turn on.
I would like to ask from this helpful community does anyone has experienced same thing like this or do you know how to fix it?
Any suggestion is really appreciated to fix my loving pc. 🙂
Note: I checked the adapter and it was fine.
My pc is Intel NUC i7 mini pc.

🧠 Quote of the Week
==================
“The difference is that Nostr is a protocol. So it's more like the internet itself, like HTTP, Hypertext Transfer Protocol, that allows you to read and interact with websites. There's no company that owns that technology.”
To dive deep into this quote refer #3 at Nostr in the Media.

Nostr is built by the plebs, for the plebs. If you found this recap helpful, consider supporting me—Nomishka—with a zap. Right now, I’m in a tough spot: jobless and struggling to make ends meet. Most days, I’m barely able to afford food, and honestly, 210,000 sats per month would help provide a basic income to cover essential needs.
I’m committed to supporting Nostr, and I split a part of the zaps I receive for this note with the plebs mentioned in this recap for all their great effort. Thank you so much for being part of this journey. Let me know your thoughts about this eleventh recap, share your tips and suggestions for the next weekly #nostrrecap, and let’s keep #grownostr together.
