I actually I'm trying it now using npub.pro and posting through nostr with obsidian, it's a nice workflow. Of course non of the features of microblog


I’ve been playing with Obsidian and it’s plugins for things like Micro.Blog and Nostr. Trying to get myself posting thoughts and yet still avoiding the doom scrolls.

Their problem is they actively archive things they don't have rights to and constantly get sued. If they focused on archiving the web, they would be good and have funds.


Right now, I have two external blogs I just share links into Micro.Blog with. Sometimes I wonder if I should import the whole posts through the RSS feed. In the past this has had formatting problems when imported.. what do my fellow Microbloggers do?


After this top level domain debacle with .io, I reevaluated my domains. I have…

timapple.com
timapple.org
timapple.net
timapple.dev
timapple.info

All generic, I think that’s enough…lol


When I encounter very informative websites, I have gotten in the habit of using wget and downloading the whole thing. For example, Ray Peat has been dead for some time now, but his site is still up, so I just archived it for myself. To think of all the good stuff that could just vanish.

I remember there used to be a service for sharing songs, where you could find the track and get a link, then the person following the link would have their choice of service to follow from there whether tidal, Spotify, Apple Music, etc… I can’t remember the name of it to save my life, though.

Not really. It's necessary but we need public oversight on how it's spent and a fair system (flat tax). I don't think the highway dept could survive selling merch.

Now if you pay taxes and everything is shit still, then it's robbery.

We left Texas for my wife's work and had been trying to get back ever since. In five years we have lived in New York city, West Virginia, and now Southern Wisconsin (where I grew up) and for us nothing beats Texas. Though I do love the three non winter seasons up here. Texas tends to have friendlier people, better food, and more opportunity.. and it makes me feel like a cowboy...lol


I got you, they used to have a graphical package manager, didn't they? I haven't used it in a couple of years, but I thought they did. Of course, it wasn't a nicely presented app store, just a frontend to the command line utilities.

People using #Wordpress, what plugins or themes you using to nostrify your site?

So where do I find the TestFlight link?


On #Amethyst block worked for me. I still see him in other clients though..I mute and he comes back sometimes


I won't lie, I'm at the point where I think I'm just DONE trying to get into #Bitcoin, #Monero or any other coin.

I love the technology. I think it's phenomenal, it presents some truly incredible future possibilities. I also do think it has the potential to free people from the fiat scam. I wouldn't be on Nostr and continually trying to find ways to get into this space if I didn't believe in it.

However, its number one weakness is KYC/AML. Even to buy small amounts, you have to upload sensitive documents to an exchange with some stupid selfie, and you have absolutely no way of verifying that they are doing their absolute best guarding that data even if I were comfortable with them having it (I'm not). It's not even the concern of them tying my identity to my Bitcoin (though that is still problematic), I just don't have any intentions of trusting a CEX with my sensitive data, I am aware of no-KYC DEXes and Bitcoin ATMs. Neither of them work without major sacrifice, risk or geographic issues.

With DEXes, you're risking your money trading with sellers that might not honor the deal. Sure, you usually have escrows, but then you're trusting that DEX. Ignoring that issue for a moment, whatever DEXes I'm on have offers that usually demand either cash by mail or credit card, ans some of them actually run KYC checks of their own. Cash by mail is a huge risk in this day and age, and I certainly have no plans to send a credit card number to a total stranger (and that's assuming one has a credit card; I don't). Then, once again, ignoring that issue brings up another one: the minimum trade amount. Nine times out of ten, any offers I see on a DEX set like a $150 minimum. Problem is, for people like me who just want to start slowly, to test the waters, this is problematic as well. Plus, it goes back to the high potential for scams, and risking $150 that I'm locking away is not a good risk to take, particularly when you're in a tight financial spot like I am.

Then, you have Bitcoin ATMs. Provided you can find one (only one in my area and not in the best town), you're going to spend truly exorbitant amounts on their fees. The one near me charges 20%. If I wanted to start with, say, $50 to start stacking, they'd take $10 of that. Plus, unlike other industries, I've found that it's very difficult to find reviews on these companies and as such, I have no idea how reputable the company is.

At the end of the day, I seriously don't know how y'all do it. Are you all just complying with the absurd KYC regulations or what? Because every other method I've tried (and believe me, I've tried so much) has fallen through in spectacular fashion. How can Bitcoin truly become the replacement I believe it can be, if we all have to either go along with draconian regulations or make a big financial risk?

Please help me understand, because I really am at the point where I'm thinking I'm done trying.

Why do lightning nodes need channels? Why can a node not just send and receive without a channel? I wonder what the benefit it serves other than making running a node difficult or making it cost to open one?

Thanks

I don't necessarily think so. But everything depends on your threat model. For most people it is safe enough, besides being difficult to even get people to use Signal, it would be damn near impossible to get normies on SimpleX or Threema.


I'm really enjoying nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxqgnwaehxw309aex2mrp09skymr99ehhyecusqvd6 Go.

It hasn't been updated since 2018, a lot has changed since then.

I'm not Christian, but in general I feel more spiritual through words. I enjoy reading holy books and hearing parables. I'm not a super deep person, so stories help me relate and feel closer to God at times.


I'm looking for suggestions on #WordPress themes. I prefer text to pictures and enjoy a more minimal look, dark mode is a must. Thanks ahead of time.

Whenever I get on #Android, I realize that #Amethyst is the best #Nostr client out there so far. It is really just a great experience.


Dang! MySudo needs the Play Store, no way around it. So that is one so far.


I just reset my Pixel I had laying around and so far have been able to install every app I need using either Obtanium, zapstore, or f-droid. I haven't had to open the play store yet.

I’m running plebone.nostr1.com, no plans on it going anywhere. It’s not paid, but you need to be whitelisted, and I randomly ask for a donation here and there to finance keeping it up.


Saw this and accidentally thought you were nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx with all that caps lock action going on.

Listening to a report about RT getting busted for interference with US election. It makes me wonder shouldn’t most of the US media be prosecuted for disinformation and election interference?


Again, operating on our own is good, but we need to interoperate with everyone else simultaneously in an easy manner. It relieves tensions.


It’s not the one… it’s one for the world and individual countries can do their own thing still. It’s just having one currency that all the world recognizes and can use no matter their border. Which again bitcoin fills.


The idea of a universal currency or world currency has been an idea in the Baha'i faith for some time. I see #Bitcoin or something like it as that future.

 "The unity of the human race, as envisaged by Bahá’u’lláh, implies the establishment of a world commonwealth in which all nations, races, creeds and classes are closely and permanently united, and in which the autonomy of its state members and the personal freedom and initiative of the individuals that compose them are definitely and completely safeguarded. This commonwealth must, as far as we can visualize it, consist of a world legislature, whose members will, as the trustees of the whole of mankind, ultimately control the entire resources of all the component nations, and will enact such laws as shall be required to regulate the life, satisfy the needs and adjust the relationships of all races and peoples...A world script, a world literature, a uniform and universal system of currency, of weights and measures, will simplify and facilitate intercourse and understanding among the nations and races of mankind."

-- Shoghi Effendi, World Order of Bahá’u’lláh

I regularly purchase halal meat at a local market ( I like that that animals are required to be treated with respect ) though I am not Muslim. What other services are or require halal? Just curious, thanks.


Listening to a story about another elderly person being scammed and losing their life savings and the media trying to blame Bitcoin/crypto.

I think it would behoove the major players in the industry to maybe run a public service campaign educating seniors on what to avoid and how to react when encountering these scams.

Of course, this should probably be something the government itself should sponsor, but they won’t.

I’ve been vegetarian, paleo, carnivore, and a few other odd diets. I think I had my best success when low carb paleo… right now I’m sort of paleo/animal based… I’m doing 99% meat and some different fruit now and again. Anything is better than food out of a box though.


I fixed that with walking… it’s so hard to state at a phone when at a brisk walk, but I do some of my best thinking then.


Very cool, the loading speed is super impressive. I don’t think I’ve seen any client load a timeline that fast.


Definitely pluses and minuses to many foods. I lean carnivore or maybe more paleo. But I see benefits to many plant foods for certain folks in certain situations. And I believe the ethical side of veganism is admirable, though I don’t 100% agree. I think we can get along just fine. No need for diet extremism here, it’s all largely opinion in many cases..we may both be wrong and need to start snorting coke for our optimal health..it just hasn’t been discovered yet…lol


How bout station wagons with the cool pop-up seats in the back…lol


I just realized that my kids have never been in or seen a car with manual hand crank windows, or a car with a built in ashtray for that matter.


I’ve been off of Mastodon for at least a couple of months. I’m going to revisit.


Time for cup of coffee number two.. I lasted pretty long, I’m usually on three by now. ☕


Today I saw a YouTube video from one of the privacy related channels, Techlore maybe? I don't exactly remember. Either way this particular video was going over the pluses and minuses of Android and iOS; and it has made me reconsider some things. I have one of each type of phone and jump back and forth a bit, but always thought I would end on Android. I'm not feeling that way anymore.

After really getting to understand Apple's [Advanced Data Protection](https://support.apple.com/guide/security/advanced-data-protection-for-icloud-sec973254c5f/web) I think I came to the conclusion that my iPhone more than meets my needs and does everything I like. Yeah, Android sounds like it has most of the privacy coolness as far as mods, roms, and apps, but my iPhone is easily fully encrypted along with iCloud. The few services that aren't are covered by my [Proton](https://proton.me) plan. It also allows me to stop paying for services I may not really need.

* I use and pay for Ente photos, which is great, but my Apple photos are already encrypted and backed up. I don't think I need to be paying for the extra service.
* The Apple Notes app falls under the fully encrypted side, and I can use the free version of Standard Notes for other things.
* I still use Signal Messenger where the OS doesn't matter as much.
* MySudo which I use for numbers is transferable between OSs also.

That's really about it, I mainly use my phone for Email, Calendar, Messaging, Notes, some social, and photos. I don't think I need anything special beyond that. The insecure apps I use on either platform keep their risks though Apple isn't an advertising company, so I feel they are less likely to abuse anything, at least for now. I wonder what other folks thoughts are. Feel free to share.

Cheers!

This may be unpopular, but we don’t kill enough pedophiles and those who cater to them… if you hurt a child it should just be death, I don’t want you in society, I assume most others don’t either. You kill enough of them, it will happen much less.


it would be nice if it opened links in default browser, says its using chrome....


I was thinking of doing that, keep my main apps(call, messages, email) then the rest in here....


I never understood the use of telegram for teams, there is no way to track stuff, if there are a bunch of people its just a flow of gobbly gook.. Great for one on one chat, but large groups it sort of blows.

After trying to get bitcoiners, the next target group for #nostr logically would be other open source advocates and tech geeks, which I’m sure way outnumber bitcoiners but have many of the same interests.


I've let my Standard Notes subscription run out as of late due to them being acquired by Proton. Sooner or later I hope they will fall under my Proton Premium plan. So in the meanwhile I’ve been trying other options.

Then I saw there is a plugin for Obsidian to post articles/long-form to Nostr. This is outstanding and solves a couple things. One, I never know which site is best for posting articles, leaving me to jump around a lot. Second, I want to backup my posts. Writing my posts in Obsidian and publishing from there gives me a backup and allows me to not even bother going to a browser to post. This saves me the whole cut and paste cycle.

I think this is the best I will get as far as efficiency. If anything changes I’ll be sure to post.

Cheers!

#plebone


I can get behind that, cheers!


I am playing around with Obsidian as both a way to take notes and also to post to my Npub.Pro site. This way I have all my posts and I can also send them to Nostr without playing the cut and past game... so below is some gibberish, I'm just testing.

#nostr


So maybe this is something I am missing. I thought my posts only go on the original relays I use, are you saying that other relays will copy it from my relays? For some reason I didn not realize this happens. I have always thought my stuff stays only on the relays I’m at using and listed in my client?


Does  nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg not support Articles? It's my only client blogposts from  nostr:npub1048qg5p6kfnpth2l98kq3dffg097tutm4npsz2exygx25ge2k9xqf5x3nf don't show up on.


Today I am pondering the life of my blog, in this case my [Npub.Pro](https://npub.pro) blog. The existence of my post is limited by the time relays stay up and for how long. So a post could vanish at anytime.

Do I need a regular hosted blog? Where I know the longevity of my posts will be as long as I pay the bill?

Maybe I should just save a copy of everything, and if it disappears and I want it out there again I can just repost it?

Now I have a relay I am hosting and sharing. My posts go to it and will be on here until I stop it, so that is a good thing, since i plan on keeping it up as long as possible. Of course, I am not sure how to pull the data off of it.

The longevity question is a good one, I guess the only real way is to make second copies of everything and save and back them up. But I am bugged a little that links to stuff on my blog will someday possibly die, leading people nowhere. It's an interesting dilemma. I don't know if it outweighs the freedom of posting from Nostr? Maybe the freedom of Nostr makes the problem all worth while.

I find it funny that people think because Trump said good things for #Bitcoin that he was a maxi. Now he is talking about defi or whatever crap, it doesn’t mean he still doesn’t have the same good thoughts on Bitcoin, it just means he doesn’t have a clue and that politicians will politic. Don’t get butt hurt folks.


I can get that, but it sure is a lot of effort to manage a self hosted email.


In the end, I trust them more than any other email provider. Also, if you have a life, hosting your own email on your own server is not a good solution, I’ve tried it more than once… super easy to get going, hard to maintain. So proton it is for me, and without proof of nefarious activities I think it is unfair to attack them. Complying with the law is not nefarious. Know your threat model and it shouldn’t be an issue, because if you really had something to hide you wouldn’t use email in the first place.

lol… my tinfoil hat is just smaller than yours. And I am not hazing, I am just stating I trust proton more is all, for now at least. At I can very much be for bitcoin and limited government. I never said I was an anarchist. But again, I think I just have a smaller tinfoil hat in general. I really have very little of a threat model and support proton mainly for what they represent . Also, having an x member of the wef doesn’t mean you are complicit in the wef. Though I would like that person to state where they stand these days.


Proton cannot scan the contents of your email, they have access to limited meta data but that’s it. They also moved to a foundation. But I trust them more than some unknown saying they will set up a vps for me.

Fountain 1.1 with #nostr is now live on iOS and Android!
https://m.primal.net/KGni.mov

Why Nostr?

We regularly hear from both listeners and podcasters that the social features in Fountain are a great way to discover content that’s worth listening to.

When you support a podcast, or comment on an episode, your message is surfaced to your followers in the Fountain home feed and anyone that sees these can add the content to their library.

But this came with a few problems. When you first start using Fountain you wouldn’t have any followers so your posts wouldn’t get seen. If you wanted to share something you were listening to, you had to choose between leaving a comment on Fountain, or sharing on another social platform.

Today we are excited to announce a massive update to Fountain that solves these problems with Nostr:

- You can bring your existing profile and followers to Fountain
- Your boosts and comments will be surfaced in other Nostr clients
- Posts shared from other Nostr clients relating to audio will appear in your feed
- Conversation and interactions now flow freely across multiple apps

Read more about the new Fountain nostr features here: https://blog.fountain.fm/p/1-1

Please let me know your feedback!

It’s doesn’t have lightning support yet, they have said it is in the works. But it is a hodl wallet at this point. Or that is what I see it as. I buy some BTC each month, a small part goes to my lightning app and the rest goes in a wallet like proton ( I have sparrow also) and just sits.


Coolest thing about #Nostr is I have 3 clients installed between 2 phones and nothing changes between the three, I can post in one, look at reply’s in the other, zap from the other phone, see the #zap back in another client… all pretty seamles.

Comparing to Bluesky is meh… bluesky is the biggest hate filled shit show of extreme leftist I have ever visited. They would never come to Nostr anyway, it doesn’t fit them. And they are not decentralized, they function pretty much like mastodon, and even then, almost every user is on one server.

If they came here in force it would most likely drive many of the users that are here away.

What is the absolute newb way now? There is @Primal which gives a wallet on mobile, but it can't be used on the web as far as I can tell.

Mute is your friend


They are expensive, and maybe not super light, but the GoRucks are indestructible practically, and if you do have super powers they have a lifetime guarantee. They also will let you send them in to add mods and stuff you may think of in the future for a small fee.


Foundations at times end up being just as crappy as corporations. If you look at things like the Linux Foundation, Rust, or Gnome.. they sometimes cause more problems or become political tools. Hell, Mozilla is a Foundation and they crap all over Firefox... figuring out how to avoid such things is needed before any major organizational step.

Everything they have is some metadata. There is not an email company in the world, I know of at least, that will not comply with the law. They still don’t have your keys. There are a handful of companies out there doing their best for privacy while still trying to not break laws or get themselves in trouble and everyone likes to tear them down, it’s a bit sad in my opinion.


I think it’s mostly BS. They still do have to obey the law, but they have put themselves in a good position to really minimize what could be given up if forced.

#nostr


Now that I think of it, I may make that much on Stacker News every month, maybe I just use that to fund it.


lol…when they going to tell banks they want 30%of all deposits


The one I just opened up is 12,000 sats a month or about $7


One more test, cheers yet again!


testing, cheers!


I wanted to do something for the Nostr community and since I don't code, I thought setting up a relay would be a good idea. So, I went down the rabbit hole of choices and soon realized it may be a bit of a challenge with the gazillion choices of relay projects out there.

I put a question up on Stacker News and someone linked me to [Nostr1](https://nostr1.com). This seemed like a simple enough solution to get something started. To be honest it was pretty easy to get plebone.nostr1.com up and going.

I had the choice to make it public or paid. I've started with paid but I'm quickly changing my mind on that. I have it set to 11 sats per post thinking that is reasonable and I may get close to earning enough to pay for it every month, but to be honest this even has me a little confused on how it even works?

Now I am thinking to put it as a free relay and then maybe once a month ask for donations to keep it running. It really doesn't need much, and even if I get 1/3 of the cost that is fine. Keeping it free will truly make it a community thing. Maybe even if donations do better I can open up multiple relays.. who knows.

I am wondering what others, thoughts on this are?

Cheers!

So I opened up a relay with nostr1 to see how things work… I’m hoping if it stays fully self supporting or at least half I can keep it up indefinitely. It charges 11 sats a post, if I set it up correctly. This should be the first post to hit the relay.

#nostr #bitcoin #zap


Sounds great, but waiting for something like that.


#Nostr app developers, I believe you have to lower the default #zap amount or put it to 0 to protect your users.

When a new user gets onboarded, especially maybe in a lower income community, they set up a lightning wallet, and they zap their first post not knowing it will be 1,000 #sats is a problem. For those of us in the west, it may not be bad, but in some countries this is a lot to accidentally lose.

Yes the app, can one log in with their nost npub? or do you have to go through with account creation?


The followers are all bots of hot Asian women that want to be your wife and X removes them almost as fast as they show up.


So is nostr:npub1uq70uqgas9pyhds2zt57kr9se8rg3s68ztphjnq82ts8rzeknmeql7u0c2  a nostr client or something else?

I was just confirming the idea that it's not impossible to hold an optimistic view if there is no point to anything..


I'm a father and find optimism mandatory, if I thought there was nothing but shit for my daughters when they grow up it would drive me insane.


I still see it get a lot of use.  I made a couple major purchases with it this summer even. Maybe it is also semi regional what is accepted also?

Last night I threw a new 2tb ssd in an old laptop, installed @umbrel and started a #Bitcoin and #Monero node.  looking forward to more sovereignty.


#bitcoin folks, looking for opinions on https://clams.tech , need opinions outside of company website to gauge trust.


I would like to keep track of my bitcoin history and was wondering what people do? Is there an app that gathers what you bought and at what price at and keeps up with what you have? Or is it basically spreadsheet ninja time?

I basically want to log my purchases and keep up with how many dollars I've invested. Then I want to see it's value today. But of course every time I buy, it's at a different price, so a tool that's sorts all this would be so cool.

All the #opensource and #linux projects banning #Lunduke and people who follow him is out of control. He is the only #tech news guy who covers the negative these days... And in general he is pretty friendly. Counter argue his points, defend yourself, don't just ban. When you do that, we know he is speaking the truth.

And that the media was honest.


I really just wanted to give credit where credit is due. I'm not a podcaster, but I do listen to the [Podcasting 2.0](https://podcastindex.org/podcast/920666) podcast.

I feel that Dave and Adam have done a ton for Bitcoin and Lightning just by working on the Podcasting 2.0 project. Their effort to figure out how to make donations easy for fans of podcasts I believe has really built a lot of uptake in the ecosystem. Many of us wouldn't be here, or maybe have as good an understanding on how this all works without them. I just thought they needed to get some love.

Please listen to an episode and boost the hell out of it.

Cheers!

I have four kids, so I am far, far, far, far right!


There still is a pretty big difference between say a 120lb man and a 120lb woman... there would have to be intense and very studied criteria to make it fair.


I have an iPhone and a Pixel... every now and then I pick up the iPhone and then I try to do something and I can't or it's to difficult and I grab my Pixel again.


Only if the payment went back to me... would have to be over 1000 sats.. and I am assuming there would be a grace period before I could unmute them again so they get their moneys worth...

I think there would need to be a setting for us to allow such things also, especially certain content.. most people I mute is because when I open my stream I see porn or someones nuts on my screen, so they get instablocked.. I wouldn't want them to be able to pay to come back even...


Is there a way to #zap from iOS?

I recently moved back to where I grew up. I do love my friends, but i'm not the same person I was 20+ years ago. So we will be moving soon. I just don't have as much in common.

On the other hand, I have a strong connection to those I served with whether they are moving forward or still in the past, at we point we were all saving each others ass, and I will never forget.

And the real hard thing is I quit drinking like 14 years ago and boy does that weird people out...lol


The fed will never give up complete control, so them using what we want is at least a plus. We will also always need paper money or coins, I would be much happier if it was backed by something like bitcoin than oil or gold.


Any #security professionals hiding out here on #nostr?


Just finished watching the movie "MVP", made me think of friends I lost, especially those who lost their battle after the war... Rest in peace my brothers.


I disagree, Facebag allows me.to stay in touch with a lot of people I would lose track of, especially old army buddies.

Lightning and the channel problem
https://plebone.npub.pro/post/1722294672193

originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/627582


I've been playing around with Lightning and Bitcoin for maybe a year or two. I am in no way a player in the space, and buy twenty bucks worth of sats here and there. But by far I'm not a big spender, not even close.

Most of my time in Sat land has been on [Alby](https://getalby.com), which is a great service. It has worked beautifully for some time now. I really can't say enough good things about it. But there is a dark cloud looming.

With the GetAlby migration to using Alby hub, the one big problem Alby solved for us bitcoin lite weights was the fact that we didn't have to plop down hundred+ thousand sats to open a channel, let alone multiple channels.

I am at a loss now, I am playing with some different things, I moved some sats over to [Breeze](https://breez.technology/), about 10k only to have 2.5k taken in fees. It's great for zaping and boosting, but loading that puppy up hurts.

So, I am at this point where I'm not sure what to do. Eventually I will suck it up and start my own node, save up and open some channels, and carry on with the crusade.

But this makes it hard for me to speak to the cause for newbs. How are they to get started? There really needs to be an easy solution to this coming, and soon. Once everything is Alby Hub only, it will be like we took a step backwards.

#plebone #bitcoin #lightning #nostr

Getting in the Sats game shouldn't be so hard.

biggest thing is performance... there are a few that are really nice, but performance lacks.


On my phone I use Amethyst, but on the desktop I jump around. It seems none of the web clients are even close to as performant as the the mobile apps, at least Damus and Amethyst. What is everyone using for Nostr when at there computer? I am anxiously awaiting the Damus desktop client which I hope will be my solution, but until that comes to fruition I really want to find the best experience I can on desktop.

Thanks!

This is old news, people all over the world talk about living up to different values and rarely live up to them, why do you think the world is so toxic.


Yeah, I've been on StandardNotes for 4 years... I'm locked into a 4yr renewal at the original price but I don't want to pay it knowing it's going to be integrated here sooner or later.


My #standardnotes subscription expires August 8th. With it no word on integration with their new owner #proton who I am a premium member of, I will have to let the sub expire and transfer everything to #Joplin . It's going to be a long week of transferring data.


Trying to figure out how to use the #Nostr  relay on #start9  . #Umbrel  makes everything very visible, while start9 has me digging to figure it out.
