 How do we feel about adding Niacin, Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, and Folic Acid to bread? 
 Some guys here don't eat any bread. They call it purple pill 
 There is a diet where you eat just sugar? 
 Ask the Mars family 
 Low carb diet is a lot more expensive.  
 Pasta is usually very cheap. Can be just a buck a day. Hard to do that with eggs and chicken.  
 Nostr data size grows way too much on Relays!

 People say it's boring cause non-bitcoin posts receive little attention.  
 You don't need any special equipment to run a relay. Get a VPS.  
 Wayland is quickly approaching this age and still isn't ready

 How do I use Wayland remotely like ssh -X? 
 GUI without a browser. Lightning node or Bisq 
 Wayland just copies what OS X could do 15 years ago. Still waiting for Ubuntu phone.

 Surely you can find local lamb.  
 Ask the Taliban on Twitter to give you a tour.  
 Go to Tora Bora 
 It's real. They're just discovering social media, so they are very goofy

 You can call me Lord Layerjack.  
 That sucks. No electricity in that year? 
 I'm 71% British

 No, I'm just high

 There was one fat guy who didn't eat for a year. He was fine.  
 No, I'm just high 
 Well, best for them to stop eating bad stuff first, and get in a reasonable shape. A year long water fast.

 is anyone here actually taking ozempic lizard venom? 

if so can you describe your experience on it

 Anyone use multisig for #lightning? 
 Swaps for a DeX 
 What is coffee? A wallet? 
 No. I'm waiting for Cake to add lightning.  
 I'm gonna give it a try to compare it with Litecoin. Atomic swaps with XMR will make a very cheap tumbler that people may use.  
 They announced it already.  
 Do you wanna tumble your lightning if you cash out? 
 Transfer to another lightning address that's not linked to your Nostr lightning for privacy.  
 So you'll need to learn how to swap for XMR, then back. As of now it's tricky.  
 They are still working on it. Announcement for lightning support was a few weeks back.  
 I asked what people spent their lightning on, and got no responses.  
 You need another step in between to transfer from the XMR address to a different XMR address, then swap that to lightning that's now unlinked to your Nostr account.  
 Your local bakery accepts lightning? That's cool 
 Yes. Quite a hassle just so your baker doesn't know who you are online.  
 Yes. It's less than a cent. You can transfer multiple times if you're paranoid. It seems like most users here don't care to hide their transactions. But who wants the store owner to know their online persona? 
 Not even Santa? 
 And cash beats them both 😁

 What quality level? Can you afford a decent Nvidia? 
 Try this. Not gonna be as good as big models though.

 Have you tried anaconda? 
 No. It's what someone recommended me when I was fiddling with Python a few years back. Is anaconda bad compared to virtenv? I'm bad with Python.  
 Python environments suck so much. never update Python :angry_cirno: 
 Have you tried anaconda? 
 Cease and desist from Nike immediately, so barely any ever sold. The box is cooler than the shoes themselves. 

Those vans are probably the coolest shoe design. But not hyped like for collectors.

 Wen simpleX or signal over nostr?

#asknostr #nostr #plebchain 
 Simplex when you want 1-on-1 comm on burners (for you never 😁)

Signal if you don't trust WhatsApp. Good luck getting people to switch. 

Nostr for talking to people you don't know IRL about bitcoin

 "Former head of NSA joins OpenAI board" is a headline that shouldn't have surprised you, anon. 
 You don't have to use OpenAI services 
 I wonder though

For people without an inner monologue how do they find the #meditation exercise ... 
 I don't have inner monologue, and I don't have to meditate. I prefer walking or smoking ciggies instead.

 The financial crisis created a culture of distrust in the banking system. 

Monero, and privacy coins in general, don't really matter because most people don't use crypto as electronic cash, but a number go up digital collectible.  
 Anarchists, do you wanna fight the police state? Join the military, and stage a coup.  
 I like anarchist leaders, but an average member is subpar.  
 Good morning, may you cross paths with the sardine of good fortune this fine day. 
 Perfect president. Just signs the documents the corporations put in front of him.  
 How to sync events between nostr relays? 
 What's your budget? 
 Hahaha. 1M satoshi is under 200 USD. You'll need at least $50K to get anything done in a reasonable timeframe. 

You can't write software and you can't pay to get it written. Your project is dead on arrival. 

Best you can do with $200 is to spend it on a good LLM and try to DIY.  
 It'd be cool to make a discord like interface for Nostr. I can give you a high level overview of what needs to be done. It's too boring to do the web front end though. Turn tags into channels. This will make filtering a lot easier. With thousands of private relays, it will be impossible to shut down. This design makes private relays more appealing.  
 How is your relay gonna be different? It should be just an SQL DB that you just sync. UI fully derived from state.  
 If everyone has a relay, then you just connect to 100 people you like. Aggregate 100 connections into messages, and display. Easy search and file sharing. All replays are also stealth tor nodes. 

It will be too complicated for 95% of users. So a good test like cicada.  
 Without the American military funding you wouldn't have Tor, SELinux, maybe even TCP/IP. I don't wanna bother translating, can everyone use English? It's the language of the Internet. 

Nostr isn't that great of a protocol if you want simplicity. SSH is much better, you can use RSA for signing and encryption. 

Who's gonna use your relay though? It's all about the user demographic.  
 It must be mandatory to prevent people from using DNS, so they get used to an onion hash to talk to your relay. Even with 20 people, it will be a very fun app. Wild west.  
 SSH makes it easy to authenticate, gives you a choice of both RSA and EC. Got easy file transfer. You can sync with other users easily. 100 people put a bunch of files together, and broadcast the descriptions, so you can search easily. Movies, music, books. Can be any language, but I like English 😁. Life's too short to listen to people complain in other languages.  
 scp is great. You can get an index file from all friend relays, then query 100 indexes. Then scp the files you want. This is better than NIP-96 bloat.  
 There are good people in the military too. Why do you care so much? 

I don't get your goal. My approach is just to have a cypherpunk style mailing list but for files. Just need enough people to participate to make it interesting. The learning curve is quite high, people hate a text only app. So there'll be 5 folks in the beginning from all Nostr.  
 Most join the military to get a free degree. Many nerds work for the military cause they're the only ones who have the funds for cutting edge vision or energy projects. They're ordinary humans who want a job, and aren't actively evil.  
 They probably did. They don't care about the big picture. The bad stuff happens thousands of miles away.  
 It's okay to be evil. You have more fun that way.  
 Join the dark side. Being a goodie two shoes is lame. 😀 
 Nah, I'm not concerned. I find it majestic.
