 I am getting so bullish on this algorithmic relay 🔥

Now it personalizes the feed for each npu... 
 So you've re-created the dreaded "algorithm" that normies keep complaining about ;) 
 Pretty tough of biden to make threats like that with 15 days left in office 
 Wow, kinda weird a hardware bug would cause such a specific software glitch. Maybe a buffering of the tx queue issue. 
 I'm surprised how functional nostr, lightning and ecash are. Successfully sent some zaps, converted to ecash, send some free ecash without fees, converted back to lightning.

Only problem is the whole thing is so damn complicated, not sure how the Normie's are ever gonna grok whats going on. 
 The noble man's autist. Didn't he die in suspicious circumstances? 
 How many of these events do you believe official narratives/history got right?

 I was sailing north yesterday and collided with a whale. Thankfully no damage and rudders still intact. Scary shit. Lots about at the moment.

 Cause he is pumping everyone's bags. 
 A major client shipping Tor embed and active by default is mildly ground breaking. 
 Pretty sure Briar ships with Tor and is required for basic connectivity.

 I'm sure Elon wouldn't mind sharing and distributing posts but he spent quite a lot of money on it and probably wants some sort of return 
 Ridiculous on so many levels. As someone dealing with kids and tech I can tell you the problem is not social media, its readily accessible tech in general, and the biggest problem is the schools demanding kids need a laptop, ipad, phone and açcounts with Microsoft , google, gmail etc. The tech is so woven into the system its impossible to stop kids from getting sucked in to all sorts of tech related addictions.

 Yup, western governments are too large, and are too tempting for large groups to form in an attempt to wield its emence power. Small government, decentralized governance is the solution.  
 I didn't know of that quote, thanks. Yup he was onto something way back then. 
 Just ordered my first pixel, looking forward to trying out grapheneOS soon. Lineage has been great, but I like your regular updates here on nostr. 
 Observation:

On Nostr I follow a bunch of indie hackers building open source stuff creating imme... 
 The value in proprietary software is in its ability to monopolise a given space. Open source cannot monopolise, by design. 
 Imagine making an OS that encourages other companies to push driver updates that run in kernel mo... 
 Just imagine what nefarious shit was hidden in those updates. No one will ever know. 
 The only way to tolerate windows is to completely disable and block windows from auto updates. Id rather risk the viruses than put up with that shit. 
 Is it true that Justin Trudeau is the son of Fidel Castro? 
 Do you remember when Trudeau was the only western leader to come out with glowing praise for the murderous Castro when he died? 
 I know we are now debating solutions for DNS, but the real boss is IP.

 This is the correct lesson 
 If reddit updated those subscriber numbers to actually active users it'd be 10% or less 
 My personal email server has worked fine for like 10 years but gmail just did something recently ... 
 Agreed about email decentralization, it certainly has failed. However 50 years of global adoption is pretty impressive, I'm surprized it survived as long as it did. Seems to be the natural cycle of things  
 Gm! What improvements would you like to see on nostr? 
 I mean, you could fork and do it yourself? Beauty of open source and all that 
 How's everyone enjoying the new government approved Bitcoin ETFs and their influence on prices? 
 I be sending zaps, but how to receive? Is it possible with self custodial wallets like pheonix? nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qghwaehxw309amxjar0wghxummnw3erztnrdakj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctc6ljg69 
 I avoid custodial wallets. 
 How is my comment in any way harrasment? Unless nos.social are a big bunch of commie wankers? Fuck off back to your left wing utopia SSB. 
 More bullshit reporting from legacy media. This is why shrinking the size of government is nearly impossible. Lefties riot, media portrays it as justified.

 From memory nucular also compiles with CGO_ENABLED=0 which makes cross compatible builds easier. 
 Wails is also not bad if your a web ui guy 
 How receive zaps on nostr with a self custodial wallet?  
 we are only what we pay attention to 
 If you ONLY paid attention to criminals and had no other moral framework to compare against you would most likely copy them. Its the exposure to ALL ideas he is promoting,  not just the curated. 
 You sound like a woke leftist. Fuck off. 
 Unless those crumpets are dripping in honey thats a big nope.

 Also take a look at https://meshmap.net it does a great job of showing nearby nodes.

 Well he may or may not deliver on those promises, but Biden definitely wont and i dont see any other viable contenders! Vote him in for now and challenge him once he's in.

 Farcaster is trash. There is no software to download, you need email address verification and have to pay. Yay, so decentralized. 
 does anyone use i2p? 
 Occasionally. I2pd seems to work well. Not a lot of interesting content on there though. 
 I don’t understand how the crypto community trusts Telegram which is closed source, has substan... 
 I dont like Telegram or Signal that much, however its good to have a diversified software ideology, Signal being western aligned, Telegram being eastern even if the founder had to flee russia. I dont mind simple-x, but no one outside of tech nerds use it. 
 What's the current hardware requirements for running a public nostr relay right now? How many GB of notes is there? 
 ipfs is pretty bad though 
 Yeah, that has been my strategy, handle long term content propagation outside the core IPFS protocol.  
 Ipfs is another alternative similar to bittorrent. 
 In what way? The efficiency of the DHT and gosssip protocols need a little improvement but the standards for making interoperable hashed content seem to be a good foundation to build from 
 You dont think every spying company isnt scraping the data of all these open systems anyway?

 Yeah, I got reported by that commie nos.social mob too. Didn't even use the word faggot either. 
 Gotta admire her dedication to the art! 
 Pretty sure some place in the kimberlies was already pencilled as a potential israel state back before they picked palestine. 
 For the sake of humanity I am willing to donate the landmass of Australia to communism.

The plan... 
 Its a good plan except for one major problem, communism is bourne out of the feminine psyche rooting for equality. It will rise again in your segregated utopia unfortunately.
