I'm going to couple of large chats and it's drastically improved.


So I think I found the stupidest account registration method on the planet.

Make a user name, give an email, then get sent a link to recive a password. Oh but make sure your fucking mail server is broken so it wont send any emails. Also Protect your support form with the same convoluted sign up process. and make the only available contact email a presskit release contact. 😑

I'm trying to give these people money, but I guess they don't want it.

ANNOUNCEMENT:  New Relay Software called Chorus

"Here ye, here ye, the herald hath proclaimed that a wizened old mage from the beige tower to the South hath bestoweth upon our land yet another relay implementation of potential great import and with great anticipation. And the people rose up in song and in praise of this new relay software. And the people called it "Chorus" for it had inspired them to sing." - 1st Abominations 13:37

Chorus is a new nostr relay software implementation, brought to you by the same guy that brought you the Gossip client.

  Interviewer: Why did you write chorus?
  Me: I don't know.

  Interviewer: Why should somebody run chorus as opposed to another relay implementation?
  Me: I don't know.

  Interviewer: Have you even thoroughly tested this relay yet before announcing it?
  Me: Um....

  Interviewer: Do you even use it yourself?
  Me: Not as such. Well, not yet. I think I should test it first.

There you have it folks! Pay no attention to the fine print below.

* Details are at https://github.com/mikedilger/chorus
* Chorus is MIT licensed
* Chorus is architected to be high performance, but I don't know if it is.
* Chorus is not setup to charge users.
* Chorus can work as your personal relay. I don't know whether you should have a personal relay.
* Chorus is new, and like all new software it probably has significant issues.
* Chorus supports all the critical relay NIPs.


Had to kick somebody out of the restaurant about a month or so ago because they were doing this bullshit. Generally, I'm not a stickler for these kind of rules, and I find a lot of them to be pretty stupid. But when you bring a dog in, off leash, and it's bothering other customers, I am going to kick you out of the fucking restaurant.


Yup. I fixed my home network so I can host it at home and I am working on curating and expanding playlists.


Man I got super excited when the manga started releasing chapters again but due to the health of the writer he had to stop again. 😭 The last update I heard was that he's trying to dictate the rest of the story, so it can be finished even if he dies.


Yeah, after I said that, I realized that not everyone is aware of that, which I guess is a fair enough point.

I personally just can't stand the whole woke culture war bullshit anymore. I guess maybe this is just my opinion because I used to be super wrapped up in the whole "left va right" crap and really gave a shit about the "wokists pushing their agenda" but I just see it as yet another point to try and separate and divide people.

I do agree that there needs to be some pushback and it is good that people are trying to make people aware of these types of things. I still think some of the best pushback though is to just completely disconnect from the mainstream and really not give it any attention. If enough people can starve of attention it won't really have any effect on people or maybe I'm just being naive. I dunno man.


Are there savory crepes?


Time to update nostrudle again.

Granted, I have not watched the entire two hours and I probably won't, but based off of that first 20 minutes, it seems like anyone with a couple of brain cells to rub together should be aware of most of these tactics that people are employing in mainstream media To normalize whatever the current agenda is, it's gone on for literally decades. All ya gotta do is pay attention a little bit.


Genuinely could not make it through more than 20 minutes of that. If I had a Bitcoin for every single time they said the word "woke" those first 20 minutes I could retire and live comfortably for the rest of my life.


One of those "feel it in my bones" type memes.


Damn. well good to know.


But if you don't have a need for a lot of shit, then there's no reason to have it. I'm not advocating for clutter.


/shrug. If you don't cook a lot then maybe you don't need a lot of stuff. Also, if you do a lot of entertaining and have groups of people over at your house, it makes sense to have multiples of at least silverware.


So its an issue with forisboard? Damn. Thats the best one though lol.


Lmao still cant tag anyone in #Amethyst without it crashing.

Quote repost = upcycling.


But it's also definitely a balance. I've been in people's kitchens who have every knick-knack and gadget under the sun and they dont cook do to a lack of space. 😂


Tl;dr if you cook a lot its an efficiency thing


Maybe not replicas of the exact same item, but it can be useful to have similarly sized pieces of equipment as in bowls and whatnot depending on what you're doing. As an avid cook I have multiples of a lot of things just because it's more efficient so I don't have to wash something all the damn time.

For instance, if I'm making bread in one bowl and I want to make a sauce or something else, I don't have to migrate the bread somewhere to be able to go ahead and make a sauce in the bowl. And if I have more than one spatula I can actually make multiple things and not need to wash a spatula in between uses. It's just more efficient.


My upstream for the pihole is quad9.


I haven't actually seen that one before. I run a pi hole at home and ive messed with Technitium a bit to.


Doing ok for the most part.


That sounds genuinely horrific.


Stop trying to use dice-rolled seeds unless you're an expert ❌

Just had yet another person (hard to count the total now) reach out about a low-entropy seed they generated and were allowed to import into a certain hardware wallet. A lot of the blame for these lost funds falls on influencers who shill users on overly-complex security setups without properly explaining the massive risks and tradeoffs associated for the average user.

What happened:

Less than 10min after funds were sent to what they thought was secure storage, they were swept to an attackers address.

They used <10 dice rolls, meaning the private key had <25bits of entropy when the minimum for strong security is 50 dice rolls (128 bits of entropy). Wallets should not allow a user to import a seed that they know is completely insecure.

Staying safe:

As I have said many times, if you don't know the ins and outs of dice rolls, entropy, verification of the resulting seed offline, etc. please do not use dice rolls alone for seed generation. 99.99999% of users are better off allowing good, multi-source, open-source random number generation like we do on Passport.

To date I have heard of zero compromised seeds that were generated using on-board RNG due to entropy issues, while there are countless examples of users losing funds due to improper dice rolls.

Stay safe out there, folks.

Proper 🤝


Ghost is pretty neat. I haven't hosted it myself but I have contributed to some blogs that use it.


Crocks fuck.


I did some extremely light digging and at least specifically with Snapchat they absolutely are able to block you via IMEI.


My interest is peaked. 🤔


/shrug either way they are being blocked. Doesn't really matter how they achieve it.


I don't have the apps installed, so it's a little hard for me to check personally, but according to them, it's Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram they all have hardware access.


I think they wrap it in a guise of trying to stop sex trafficking or something. We kept chatting for a bit and apparently both Facebook and Instagram apps also have IMEI access. Which is absolutely wild to me.

Really glad I dont have accounts there anymore and was always hesitant to use the apps


Preach.

And yeah. I guess its snapchat.


It's not too surprising to me that Snapchat has that level of information on their users. It's disturbing for sure, but not super surprising.


I guess that's how Snapchat is banning them. I don't know why they're using Snapchat, but when they looked up the error, they said that ban was based on their IMEI.


Not that they need it to grow their audience But their current audience that's on Snapchat (honestly don't know why they're using that platform) Could be ported over to Nostr and they could have their own private relay.


Damn, a sex worker homie of mine is getting banned from platforms based on their IMEI number. 😂

Gonna have to show them how to use nostr.


And yet people still simp for a politician every time they say the word "Bitcoin". What's it gonna take for people to fucking understand that no one in any significant position of power in any current government is our friend. Any one who says otherwise is lying to you.

I mean the curated vibe would still be me because ultimately I'm the one making the decisions and the curated vibe would be more like my DJ sets I guess rather than just my general collection which has a whole mishmash of bullshit for any particular occasion.

Maybe this is just a DJ's habit, but I have a lot of music that at the time when I'm getting it, I'd be like, "Fuck yeah, this track is absolutely banging," and then when it actually comes to slap a set together, I'm like, "Why did I ever download this?"


Music. Sharing a meal with friends.


Man I miss my vinyl setup.


Oh nice.


:RedHeart:


Yaaaasssss


Thinking about radio station song curation right now. I'd probably focus on drum and bass right now. Right now, for the curated vibe of the station, I only have about 13 hours of music, meaning I really need to expand the collection if I'm not going to be super repetitive. 🤔

Or just not give a shit about Vibe and dump my whole collection. But I don't think that would be super pleasant to listen to.

I can toss in other genres at other hours mabey. Meh Just thinking out loud.

Cooking wise though, I'd say that Sage is heavily slept on.

Maybe that's the mistake I've been making. I went to a couple of coffee shops and tried a matcha latte and it was just terrible.

I don't know what else to call it.


Lol facts. All the normiest of memes end up on Facebook anyways. Most of the good shit trickles down from the cesspools of the internet like 4chan and mabey nostr. Or at least that's how it used to be. I'm not sure what the current meme economy is like.


Just got the best compliment I've received in a little while.

A co-worker asked me if I was familiar with one of the recent Instagram trends, stops mid sentance says, "Wait, you don't have social media, you don't know what the trends are." 😂 It's nice being out of the loop sometimes.


Bike! I used to Bike to elementary school, and then continued biking in middle school when we moved out to the country. And I would do the whole half an hour bike ride into town just because I hated riding the bus.


Alas the fiat mines are calling.


Same. I used Matrix fairly often But when I was consolidating a bunch of my services to save some money, I realized I was only really using it for random group chats and end up nuking it because it wasn't a daily chat app for me, unfortunately.


Once or twice, at least in terms of like proper meals, but I do a lot of snacking, especially when I'm at my day job, cooking.


It would be fun to do it in kind of a collaborative fashion. When I was running an Azure cast station in the past, I would have DJs connect to it to do live shows. But it would also kind of be cool if people could do their own playlist curations. The only downside is disk space becomes an issue because Azure Cast actually needs the files on the server to be able to play them versus other radios that are using a Spotify API or something to pull tracks.


Im getting the itch to run an internet radio station again. But I don't want to do it via VPS like I did last time. I wonder if one of my old craptops would be a good radio box.

TRIFLECTOR is a relay with customizable access controls enforced with AUTH, and delegated to an external resource which can admit or deny pubkeys dynamically.

TRIFLECTOR also has a "group mode" which allows NIP 87 groups to be even more private by enforcing relay authentication based on the group's encrypted member list.

I could. I also have an llc in the state that I live.


I'm technically transitioning for a polite way of phrasing it. I still have a part time day job, but I'm trying to focus on this more and more, and I am actively advertising in my local area.


That's basically the trade-off that I was thinking. I have talked enough about starting a web development company (or at least doing webbstuff on the side) that if one all of a sudden popped up on nostr, it wouldn't be terribly hard to link the two together.

When I initially registered the company I was thinking about targeting locally but I feel like that was very stupid of me and so now the name of the city that I live in is part of the name of the business.


🤔 It would definitively doxx the city where I live in, but I'm debating making an NPub for my fledgling web development company so it can be reachable on nostr.


Just running adverts on a local fm/am station.


Yup. If you need to Interact with your seed in any way you need to enter the seed back into the device. You can either manually type in this seed words yourself or you can load it in via the QR code that you can generate with the seed signer.


Happy to talk more about seed signer whenever. 🤙 just holler.


:dab:


I've set up a few multi-sig wallets using a seed signer alone.


You can also turn any previously generated 12 or 24-word seed into a QR code for easy PSBT access.


Signer*


Yup! A seed signer doesn't actually store your seeds because there's no secure element. After generating a 12 or 24 word seed and adding a password to it or not, you're responsible for storing your seed yourself. You can use the seed siner for a PSBT via the QR system.


Yup!


:EZ:


Channel 5 has really upped his game. One of the few proper journalists around IMO.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ponylQTj_gg


yep absolutely. While you can use a seed siner every day if you're transacting with Bitcoin a bunch, seed siner is definitely more of a device that's focused on long-term cold storage. All of your seeds are backed up physically either on a piece of metal or however you choose to store your seed.

My current setup is I have a few cold storage seeds that I made with the seed signer (backed up on metal in a safe) and then I have some hot wallet seeds that I also made with the seed signer that are loaded into hot wallets like a samurai or sparrow.


Seed siner because it's not a wallet. It's literally just an ephemeral signing device. It's fully open source and I can lend one to a friend if they need it and not have to worry about my own private keys.


I guess it's good to know that I can exist in both worlds that I can build good relationships with people face-to-face and still interact primarily online if that's how somebody chooses that they want to interact.

I don't know why I'm thinking about this so much this morning. I guess it's probably because I spend a good chunk of my time and energy online. It's maybe a bit refreshing to actually sit face to face with somebody and build a good business relationship.


I might bitch about not liking humans a whole hell of a lot, but I still find them inherently fascinating. And it's really interesting the way that different people choose to interact.

One of my potential clients that heard me over the radio is a lot more old school and they've been doing business in the area for around 99 years and the current owner is a fourth generation owner in the business doing fabrication and they want to sit down face-to-face and show me the facility and whatnot before I build the website.

Other potential client is a sex shop owner and they don't want to see my face and only want to interact online.

Truth be told though I think I'm going to enjoy working with the fabricator more just because it'll be a more personal relationship.


I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Looks like my radio ads are actually working and I'm starting to get business because of it. Fuck yeah.


As someone whos at odds with most of my real family.....I can relate. Chosen family is a thing and just as valid. 🫂

Well shit. I think my smart watch is now a useless hunk of tech. When I was in the process of de-googling myself, I ended up switching away from a WearOS smartwatch, opting for a fossil because it was compatible with GadgetBridge. (Plus e-ink is just great and fossil makes a dope watch)

The problem is, Fossil is exiting the smartwatch market. And even though they swore that they would honor existing smartwatches, all of a sudden my watch can't authenticate with their server. Thus nuking my watch and functionality. (It can't even sync the right time)

So i guess my question for nostr is, What's the best open source smart watch out there? I know some hobby projects exist, but is this really even a thing? For some reason I don't really want to give up on having a smartwatch. I like being able to control my phone from my watch, especially as an avid cyclist. 😅

A bit. But the vps has a few things on it. So it Justifies the cost for now.


Recently nostr:npub1alpha9l6f7kk08jxfdaxrpqqnd7vwcz6e6cvtattgexjhxr2vrcqk86dsn introduced satcom, a chrome extension that allows you to comment on any url on the internet. This is a brutal idea that I also explored some time ago, also in the form of a Chrome extension, but not only that, it's a standalone app that you can use without Chrome or installing an extension. Best of all, satcom and the nostrichat extension are fully compatible, it doesn't matter if you use one or the other, users will be able to see the comments. With nostrichat you can also zap directly into the conversation.
Just go to https://chat.punkhub.me and from there you can navigate to comment on any url, topic (hashtag) or send a dm to any nostr user.
You can find more information and examples of how to install the extension or use the application without installing anything in my repository:
https://github.com/gzuuus/nostrichat-extension
Nostr is a layer on top of the internet and has the ability to connect and bring everything together. Let's use it!
P.S. My code is a bit old, was it worth spending some time to update it and add more features?


4 cores, 8 gigs ram and like ~80 gigs of space. Im trubleshooting TOR right now.


I wanted to play with stirfry so I set up a free relay. I added it to the set of sovbit.host services.

Add wss://freelay.sovbit.host if your so inclined.


There is technically a noster web hosting app which looks pretty interesting. I haven't totally dived into it myself. But there might not be a specific platform like Wix or something. There are a lot of a growing list of integrations with nostr that you can add if you're using something like WordPress or building a site from scratch.


It would have been better if my stoned ass dident forget to put peas in it though.

Mullvad changed...

For those of you who don’t know, we’re waging a war against involuntary Big Tech.  Thanks to you sharing our article criticizing Mullvad’s use of Gmail, they just started self-hosting emails:
https://mullvad.net/en/blog/we-now-self-host-our-support-email

Huge win for freedom, because it shows that it’s possible to get someone to give a shit.  But unfortunately, there’s still a lot of work to be done.  The overwhelming majority of privacy/political freedom/crypto sites all use it and do not give one diddly squat.

However, despite the odds against us, I believe change is possible.  And here is the plan.  We need another 2 or 3 wins to give this idea some momentum.  Then I will do serious outreach, and convince “privacy” sites to reduce big tech hopefully without it coming to public shame.  And I start with THE most egregious abuse case AnonShop.  Anonshop.app offers supposedly “anonymous” Amazon packages for Monero, to hide your info...

But where does Anonshop.app host this?  On Amazon’s AWS!  They charge 20% above cost, to have packages forwarded to people’s homes, to hide their address from Amazon, only to have them submit their address in a text box literally on Amazon’s servers?!  You’re going to say “oh but there’s a PGP key”.  Yeah a public key that this CIA contractor can swap!  You don’t think they see what you’re doing as money laundering?

If you’re a Bitcoin Maxi, I call upon you to talk shit.  The crusade I fight has the potential to spread across all privacy sites.  Purse.io WAS the Bitcoin version of AnonShop, but they got bought out and ended.  Let’s get these types of shops back up with public support, but open in the right way.

If you’re a Monero head, now is your chance to get better service.  If AnonShop will change to a privacy-respecting host, one that keeps the crypto economy circular… Then I pledge to give them free advertising on my nostr and session feeds.  Give them the Session name “AnonShop” to use.  Write an article about their service, and most importantly recommend them when people ask.

But my words will fall on deaf ears without you.  For if I am ignored, it’s your freedom that’s ignored.
But if you embrace this and share it, we can someday make invasive spyware an option and not a requirement.  And most importantly, a circular economy.  A world where you don’t even need sites like AnonShop or Purse, because the vendors accept it direct.  Mullvad just showed us change is possible, and two is trend.

I’m an optimist.  Are you?


Lol yeah. Ive had a game last 6+ months. Had email updstes for when it was my turn. I dont even think we finished. In the later stages of the game, turns can take for fucking ever because you're managing so much bullshit.

I take that evidence with a grain of salt. Again, I'm not religious. I've never really studied the Bible. And this guy does a lot of speculation based off of some really thin evidence. But it's still pretty fascinating As someone who's used plenty of psychedelics.


There's a lot of evidence in this book that points towards Jesus actually being a Dionysian figure. Jesus basically took over the role of Dionysus and Baccuas.


This is a really fantastic book. I've never been a religious person but I always had a feeling that psychedelics were involved in early religion and if any of this is true then it's really interesting how early Christian churches tried to suppress the use of psychedelics because they wanted to control the religious experience.

Kinda made me dislike modern churches even more.


Thanks. I'm pretty skeptical about it myself because obviously I don't feel like he's going to say anything true and there's going to be a huge propaganda bias to it but I'm still gonna give it a shot.


Where can we watch it?

Over the past few months I’ve noticed a pretty big shift from an ideological perspective to a more practical one amongst influential developers around here.

It wasn’t long ago that ZBD was catching bullets left and right for releasing a client with an email/password login that held users private keys for them. Now it’s seemingly encouraged as long as it’s nsecbunker run by one of your favorite client developers?

“The node is on the phone” and fully self-custodial lightning for all was a loud narrative until people were actually forced to try it when WoS pulled out of US. Didn’t take long for it to become all about ecash and how to “minimize” custodial risks instead.

I tend to be on the practical side of things so I welcome the shift, but I’d caution against losing sight of why we are here in the first place.


Shit, where's the delete button 😅


Just my 2 sats.

But this is pretty much how I feel about the whole delete thing. We all say stupid shit. We all make mistakes. If you can show that you've grown as a person, there's no reason to delete history to make yourself look perfect. Idiots who dredge up shit that you said five years ago. Hell, even a year ago, are numptys Trying to penalize you for someone you probably aren't anymore. The capacity for humans to grow and change is pretty damn incredible.

I'm sure there are probably good edge cases as to why somebody would want something deleted. But this is not a private centralized protocol. For better or worse nostr is public and open. Think before you speak and don't be to embarrassed if you make a mistake. Shit happens. Your human.

I would love to but I'm not really the smartest when it comes to phone networks. I know a phone's IMEI is a pretty sure fire way of identifying a phone and without it you can't really access cell networks because I've broken enough phone operating systems by nuking that number accidentally.

Being able to edit it while your phone is off would be pretty incredible.


:RedHeart:


I remember asking a (seemingly smart) guy advocating for PinePhone (or was it Purism Librem? don't remember) on a forum: "Secure and privacy-friendly, you say? Does it even allow IMEI editing?"
The answer was: "No, but why would you want to ever do this?"

Facepalm.

Guys, being able to kill the radio power on the hardware level doesn't mean the phone is privacy-friendly. Being able to fully change your network identification (while the radio is off) does. Being able to fully kill the power to every module (preferably by quickly removing the battery) does. I don't wish anyone to end up in a situation where they would actually need to do this, but at least trust someone who did.


I smash that follow button as soon as I saw them talking about IMEI editing. 😅

Back in 2005, while cypherpunks were grinding their way into Bitcoin, I was deep into an idea we called "Sovereign Computing": a set of freedoms that would re-create the web with the user, and not corporations, at the center of it. It was initially proposed by Klaus Wuestefeld, one of the senior engineers who shaped most of my early career. The apps we made are mostly gone (turns out CVS wasn't the future of version control), but most of those freedoms still hold quite well.

http://sneer.me/resources/imgs/traditionalNetwork.jpg

At the time, everything was deeply tied to ISPs, DNS, and several middle-layer providers that limited your expressiveness on the web by charging for everything. IRC was coming to the end of its downfall. We were slowly becoming slaves of big tech.

Klaus wrote a manifesto that lured people into developing several little projects that could decentralize everything. Many of them were P2P mesh networks where users could talk to each other directly (without servers) and even re-share their own internet connection with their trusted peers. It was a big f*** you to people that thought they could control us.

Free Software users or not, they were no more than subjects conforming to the arbitrary laws dictated by a handful of Internet `authorities`. People got fed up with that monkey business. They decided they would be free to share information and hardware resources with their friends at their own pleasure.

This is how the manifesto went:

Freedom 1 - Own Name

It is the freedom to choose any name for oneself. The format of the chosen name is not limited in any way, even in the case of homonyms, and there is the possibility to change the chosen name at will.

Freedom 2 - Nicknames

It is the freedom to choose any name to refer to others. This freedom is not limited to persons, but applies to anything accessible in the virtual world. This freedom is based on the notion that absolute addressing schemes imply in the abdication of one's freedom in favor of some central authority. According to this, the alternative would be relative addressing schemes centered on each person.

Freedom 3 - Trust

It is the freedom to trust anyone one wishes. It is the possibility to assign a degree of trustworthiness to any person, possibly depending on the subject (for example, one's opinion on music could be highly trusted, but not on cars or economy). Also, the degree of someone's trustworthiness would depend on the relative distance to other persons (for example, one would trust more one's friend than one's friend's friend).

Freedom 4 - Privacy

This freedom has two aspects: the freedom to see only what one wants, and the freedom to keep information inaccessible to untrusted people. One application of the first aspect would be avoiding spam by only accepting messages from people above a certain degree of trustworthiness.

Freedom 5 - Expression

It is the freedom to express oneself. It is not only the freedom to expose one's thoughts but also the freedom to make syntheses of information provided by other people.

Freedom 6 - Hardware

This is the freedom to share hardware resources. This is based on the assumption that most hardware resources are underused, especially among domestic users. By federating the resources of a large number of people, it would be possible to decrease the dependency on internet providers and internet hosts.

Freedom 7 - Software

It is the freedom to share all software one uses. It is based on free software that is spread through trust networks across the globe. There is no need for a single, centralized distribution point.

It's bizarre to see how many of those early thoughts can be seen now in Nostr.  Maybe one day we will fully free ourselves from the web's overlords.


One of the funny things about applying for jobs all around the world is that when you finally get an interview and you realize the only feasible time for you to take an interview is at 2 a.m. because you're a night owl, not a morning person so 6 am or 7am interviews are a no go.


Wooo. I like waking up to good emails.


It's a sad day when you have to do it, but sometimes it has to be done.

Especially when it comes to family it's hard to draw the line and say enough's enough.


Even if they are related to you.


Im not sure there is a facepalm big enough for this. What an unsufferable twat.

Superman has a pair of chuck norris underwear.


This whole thread is magical I love Chuck Norris jokes.


Chuck Norris can sneeze with his eyes open.


When Chuck Norris does a push-up, he's technically pushing the earth down.


Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until they give him the information he wants.


I specifically tried to seek out somebody who did not have a medical pad and wouldent try to push medications on me. I could probably get a shitload of Anti-anxiety meds, if I wanted to, but I was trying to fix the root of the problem and not just numb the side effects. If that Phrasing makes sense.

I used some services to find the first few but the  the one that was a word of mouth recommendation ended up being the one that was the right fit for me.

Call me cynical but writing to your government/overlords/king/oppressor isn’t going to achieve your objectives. It’s just giving them a heads up that you’re going to be a problem and you need to be eliminated.

The government isn’t going to fix anything, they weren’t ever going to.

Politicians are society’s failures, if they were worth anything they would have already built that road/school/business/university rather than scrounging off you.

So stop it, be your own hero, be ungovernable.

Yeah, I didn't want to dive into his whole licensing debacle, but his behavior around that is another ding in my book. It's fine if he wanted to make his project not open source. That's a business choice that he can go ahead and make. But The way it was handled was bad....to say the least.

I think probably one of my favorite projects I've taken on for a client so far was building out six seed signers to distribute among his family.


His tactic of bashing other products to try to make his look better is a huge reason why I'm very outspoken against people using cold cards or anything that he has his hands in.

Since this is kind of my first time successfully taking care of a sourdough starter I never actually realized how much work went into actually getting a good loaf of sourdough going. And I think after I make this first loaf I'll probably have better techniques down for growing my starter.

But it's definitely been an interesting process. I started by coaxing 30 grams back to life, and then I've just been kind of continuously working with 30 grams as I bring it back to life.

But most sourdough recipes call for a cup or two of starter and that's around a couple hundred to four hundred grams give or take a bit. So I need to grow that starter so I have enough to actually bake with it. And of course enough to set aside so I don't kill my starter.

Leaving my small rambled thoughts on this since I am seeing this discussion everywhere:

When making a censorship-resistant public network or service the primary objective comes with the relays distributing events with the furthest outreach and as fast as it can to make censorship near-impossible. #Nostr systematically doesn't really care about privacy, and why should it? That's not always the goal...

The entire Nostr ecosystem is designed to be transparent. If you want a communication method that's opaque then you would use a private messenger instead. Using Tor or a VPN should be a given for risky people. The relays are a valid concern but even if the Nostr network or client had proxying then you are just moving the goal posts and trusting that proxy instead. Onion routing by default could help but then it becomes a scalability problem of relays vs. proxies. I really don't know how you could make a system designed for extremely public, far reaching, permanent posting private that also has a scaling as large as Nostr does.

I'm not saying clients shouldn't discuss these privacy caveats though. They should. Especially since not just relays, but other users could see IPs due to all media being hosted remotely. Events on Nostr are also all tied to a persistent, cryptographic pseudonym at the minimum.

We know realistically you can't erase posts. Erasing your own posts can be loosely defined as self-censorship, so why would you have the ability to do so easily on a censorship resistant network? Privacy isn't the objective of a public social network anyone can read. Do you expect #privacy on Twitter, a site where Internet Archive scrapes individual tweets all the time, Bing saving caches of tweets in the search results deleted or not, and where you can do advanced, fine grained searches on tweets with advanced parameters on the platform itself? Why should people expect Nostr to be private when people use it like Twitter?

For those who understand Nostr, that's fine, but there is unfortunately a portion who don't. Is there an issue with people adopting services and technologies without assessing them? I think so sometimes. Being into #Bitcoin doesn't always mean aptitude in technology (and that's fine!) but I guess I stopped being surprised that people are surprised.

Going back to the beginning, Nostr like Bitcoin is more transparent than private and has the goal of censorship resistance, not privacy and you need to use your own setup. Nostr's only objective is distributing media, privacy features is the job of apps integrating Nostr and the users of the apps and the network.

Feel free to discuss this with me. Would like to hear your thoughts.

There was a pretty good rude awakening not too long ago where someone was going around showing everybody their IP address in posts.

Sick and I just updated.


MOVIE NIGHT.


They are working on that.


I feel like I've missed this polls. Seriously? That's genuinely depressing.


Yeah, thank you. This is basically how I was trying to say it.


I agree that it's a big assumption and maybe I'm phrasing it poorly. But they definitely do emphasize Not putting a lot of trust beyond your local community members who happen to be running servers.


Laaaame. Don't get me wrong, I like seeing Bitcoin in integration as much as the next person. But liking it solely because it has Bitcoin integration I think is really fucking dumb. Im on andriod so I use antinnapod.


Its a shit app. Dunno why people like it.


One thing that I really like in their documentation is that they heavily push community management of funds. They use the term "second party trust" and define it as somebody that you have a close personal relationship with or somebody in the community that has a lot of social capital that they could lose if they did something nefarious like Stealing from everybody. They kind of say without actually saying that, when joining a mint put more trust into somebody that you can go to their house and break their knees if they steal from you. 😅

I know not everyone will follow that model and some people will probably choose to put more trust in large companies, but I do like that they emphasize that it really should be a community / family thing.


I still am not entirely sold on Fediment. I don't totally hate it after reading documentation, but my natural aversion to any form of custodian Is what's keeping me on the fence here I think.

But as far as most custodial solutions go, It seems like the best solution out there so far. Obviously I would prefer if literally everybody ran their own node and you didn't have to worry about a custodian but I also realized that, that is just not gonna happen.


Lmao went from not knowing shit about fedimints to giving a small talk about it at the next local meetup. 😅


Well I guess technically it's the other way around Sony lost their case that they brought to Quad9.

Yeah again. Weird day 😅


I mean part of the reason I smoke weed is specifically because I have really fucked up dreams and THC blocks REM sleep. Or maybe blocks isn't the right word but I've read that it like genuinely helps you not remember your dreams.


Yeah, I haven't been smoking as much weed at night lately, so I think I've been going through some REM rebound because I've had some pretty intense dreams lately.


I've had multiple instances of Deja Vu today. It has been a weird fucking day.

Lmao I wondered where seth was. Guess he went crawling back to x.


So it looks like I need to upgrade my soldering iron before I finish this rnode build. Damn it. 😑


So it seems like the desoldering problem I'm having is not necessarily my level of skill, it's just that my soldering iron actually sucks for what I'm trying to do.

According to my friend who's a lot smarter at this shit than I am, there's not a lot of thermal mass at the tip of the type of soldering iron that I'm using, so it's actually a problem with my tools.


The dots I have should be able to fit both. I'm going to test that real quick.


Question. You receive a business card with an NFC dot. Would it be more important to get the business's contact information pushed to your phone or a direct link to the website? Or both?

I just inadvertently got one of our regulars to blast the song, "Piss Up A Rope" from his phone at the bar. Im fucking ded 😂


Oh fuck yes.


Brain off jead empty zero thoughts.


Not that the tech brain ever really turns off. It's just more or less I have to switch frames of mind and be willing to actually talk to people.

Luckily, most kitchen work is just talking shit. 😅 and being polite to some of the regulars who sit at the bar.


Ok time to turn off tech brain and time to turn on kitchen / semi-social brain.


Shit, that might actually be a good route to go. Because there is a significant length that I could probably snip off from these connectors and then try to desolder the smaller bits.


development lessons and also the fact that he's not bogged down by corpo overlords and expectations. He's free to just write good software.


:RedHeart:


or I guess not even influencers just people regurgitating those same talking points


Yeah, I definitely have to agree there. Most maxi influencers make everything sound like a Ponzi scheme.


I've definitely stopped talking to "no-cointers" about Bitcoin and I generally just point out flaws in our current monetary system.

Only when they ask if there is an alternative that's when I bring up Bitcoin.


I didn't really "get" Bitcoin until I understood what money is and why our system is so broken.

Maybe send them a copy of broken money or some Austrian econ textbooks and then revisit the Bitcoin question.


Based on his replies so far, I don't think he necessarily understands what money is.


I also don't really have the greatest soldering iron, it's  an old radio shack one that only has a 20 watt and  a 40 watt setting.


Yeah, I have a solder sucker. I think it's me not getting the board hot enough and I'm paranoid about burning it out.


I haven't been out in public today, but I'm not really looking forward to going to the day job. I guess we'll see. 😅


Wat


I'm not gonna give up but respect to those who make this look easy.


Man, I am still really bad at soldering. 😅 Trying to desolder this SMA connector is not going how I thought it would.


No idea. The newsletter is not saying But I'm assuming it's probably something like swan or an exchange.

And also like really bloated so much unnecessary crap gets put in there.


That's kind of the conclusion I'm coming to. They seem to use this fucked up mixture of inline CSS along with an actual stylesheet. I was kind of hoping to find something that would make theme building for WordPress a lot easier for clients. I have nicepage....but like you said the code it spits out is functional but poor.


I was messing with pinegrow.


Been *trying* to learn a new visual editor for websites. I think im gonna just be better off doing plain html and css insted of fucking with visual editors.


That aside, Minecraft still gets its hooks into me.


Its leveling system was really dope because it was sci-fi based. Anytime you made a major class decision, you got a clone of your character to try out the different branches that were available to you after your upgrade. So like everyone starts out as the same base class but then you can branch off depending on your skill choices. Like say you wanted to do AoE tanking and you didn't like it you could switch to a different style of tank with your clone.

Also, the PvE was really awesome. It was set in a war zone where you're fighting against an evil alien coalition, of course, that you would have to fight over control for bases on. So there were some dedicated human bases that could never be taken over, but if you happen to log out in one of these bases that you fought for control over, you could log out and log in, in the middle of enemy territory if the base had been taken over.


I'm really glad that the one MMO that I got super sucked into is no longer available, although I do miss it terribly.

RIP Tabula Rasa.

Looks like he can upgrade. He's gonna need to remove some stuff off of his phone, but yeah, he can upgrade at least.

Luckily, he's already a Bitcoiner and I can uncle Jim him onto my node once he gets things set up on his client.


Actually, I have a question for the iOS ignorant. Where would he go to upgrade, just so I can like kind of tell him?


Lmao For his sake, I genuinely hope not.


Lmao im sure there are.


He might not be aware that he can upgrade. I'll ask him those questions.


He keeps getting errors like he needs at least iOS 16


Question for iOS users. I have another homie that wants to hop on noster but he has an old iPhone. I'm talking like five plus years old iPhone. What would be a good setup to recommend for him?

Man, it is really fun having self-esteem problems and thinking that you're a general trash human and then at the same time telling somebody that Actually good at what you do and worth the money they're spending.


Channel size depends on what you want your node to be for. I try not to open anything lower than 100,000 but if you're going for a routing node you probably want 1,000,000 sat channels.

I balance things out whenever I notice anything is way too lopsided or if I start having payment problems both sending and receiving.

As long as three blocks take depending on the fees you paid.😛

Oof.


It's also a good reminder that a third-party node provider can still rug you for various amounts of reasons. They might make it easy to play around with lightning and node hosting, but at the end of the day, if their servers go out or their data center goes down or something, you no longer have access to your node or sats until their services are back up.

The same issues can of course happen if you're hosting the node in your home but at least that box is under your control and you have more options for recovery if the server goes down.

Kinda like this.


I absolutely agree about the fluff of traditional cooking blogs. One thing I think would be kind of cool would be the ability to put ingredients that you have in your fridge or at home and then get recipe ideas that are similar or an exact match to what you have.


Lmao this is amazing


I'm not sure if there's a dinner planned for this thing, but it is hosted at a pretty decent local brewery.


I'm really torn. There's a local bitcoin conference happening a couple hours away from me, but I really don't like any of the initial speakers, so I'm debating whether it's worth spending a hundred bucks to go to this thing.

On the pro side I could pretty much just ignore these talks and hang out with Bitcoiners.

On the con side I have to listen to a couple of numptys talk for a little while. 😅


I was a pretty die-hard consumer of one of my local coffee shops but I switched over to light roasters maybe like a year or so ago but I haven't really gone back.

And it's pretty fresh too. I mean arguably if you know the roasting days of your local shops you can technically get fresher coffee but this guy will roast and ship within 24 hours. And at least from where I am it takes two to three days to get to me so the coffee is like at most 72 hours old.


Not sure if they are on nostr but shout out to lite rosters (literoasters.com) for providing great fresh rosted coffee and being a Bitcoin buissness.

They're even nerdy enough to put the Block height that the coffee was roasted at on the bag.


One thing I'm still wrapping my head around on #reticulum is the status that you get on sideband saying "on propagation net" how do I know when these messages get delivered if ever? Not sure if it's an issue with the way my current setup is, or if it's just something like the other user not being online at the moment.
