We were without power for three days and the gas stations were crowded and angry. I worry about if we’re down for a month. How angry will the gas stations be then? #society
Umbrel is easier and fancier UX but source available. Start 9 is solid but built on an ethic of open source that supports bitcoin. If it’s about ethos, start9. If it’s just set and forget for casual use, umbrel is just fine.
My social media cycle - Twitter until I can’t handle it, bluesky until I get bored of vanilla content, then nostr until I’m caught up on the bitcoin ecosystem - then back to twitter I guess. The cosmic cycle continues…
I’ve spent a lot of time across crypto. Solana, optimism, arbitrum - lightning + bitcoin feels real. I’m excited to finally find something that actually works. LFG #btc #lightning #nostr
Everyone should run nodes - it should be made as easy as possible to set up a home server and run a #relay - content is the blocker to mass adoption #nostr
Watched #nostriga on YouTube. The concept of #nostr using tiny fractional payments as defensibility against bot attacks and malicious actors is a super interesting take away for me.
Growing up, my dad ran SETI@home - when I play with this tech, I always come back to that empowering feeling of computers searching for life together. #nostr #federation
#nostr client apps should spend more time on the UI/UX for relay management -
it’d be great to stack different relays and get a sense of their types of notes/other stuff - or be able to designate sending content to different relays
#Relays are the real value and they are kind of buried in most client apps #grownostr #ux #ui
A week ago I had never heard of #nostr - now I’m self hosting, trying to figure out #lightning, and dreaming of integrating #gamedev into it. This is the next computing shift - mainstream personalized privacy
Looks like an active #nostr ecosystem of development. An #obsidan plugin looks interesting. #highlighter for long form content. Gonna have to learn more about #relay architecture for sure.
Feel like #nostr shouldn’t be this hard to use - dropping follower resets, setting a private server… it’s kind of a lot of steps to get into this place
Appreciate that - I keep dropping the follow and follower count. Any thoughts? I think I should be synced to my private feed, my nsec, npub and hex all look good. Kind of stumped.
