 is there a nostr bitwarden? #asknostr 
 There is this chrome extension for the desktop, but it wasn’t updated for a year.

I’m not convinced it’s a good idea to put all your passwords on public nostr relays 😱

 They are not reading from a single relay. They are reading from a single caching service (https://github.com/PrimalHQ/primal-caching-service) that connects to the relays. 

This is a centralizing factor but the service is open source and could be self hosted. I don’t know of anyone doing it though.

Not the easiest but the best option would be hosting your own if you have a web-server with your own domain. 
 Could we also get some half naked samba dancers for carnival then? 🇧🇷🇩🇪 
 Very clickbaity article. Read the comments or the original research to get to the truth. 
 I think it’s a good thing someone experiments with these filters but it’s important to have the control to turn them off.

 Yes, on iOS we have Damus, Primal Nostur, NOS Social and other Apps that all can create new keys. 
 I think this would also help with WoT to maybe rank IRL connections higher than online follows.

I do have concerns in terms of privacy.   A user has no influence over what information is published about him or to which groups he is publicly assigned. You couldn’t even delete leaked information. 
 Haven’t posted on my photography profile for a long time. Need to go through the archives and find more images to post 😅 @florian | Photographer 
 can't wait for my two month sabbatical to work on #nostr
 
 Not sure yet. Nostok? 
 🇬🇧  Tower Bridge or Big Ben? 
 Brandenburg gate with a Nostrich on top? 
 Technically there are no connections between the relays in the protocol.  Notes can be moved between relays but there is no P2P layer (yet) that moves these notes.

Each User connects to their own set of relays (maybe better use a user icon in combination with the app icon). One user/app should connect to multiple relays.

 
 Many of the client #devs would be better analysts/designers/testers/sysadmins than "devs", but cl... 
 I agree with you that these roles are missing but I don’t think it’s much about clout or recognition. 
 Ohh I did send that unfinished thought 😂 

I think it's a general "problem" with open source software that most devs just do what they find interesting, what is fun or exciting and new. People often do this work for free and their spare time because they have fun doing it.

Writing production ready software, optimizing UX, testing, fixing bugs and rolling out a solid product to a large audience is hard and tedious work. This is what developers usually don't like to do and what companies need to pay them for a substantial amount of money.

This is also something where the support of a product team can help with motivation working towards are shared goal.

New "Blind spots" discovery option in Nostrudel is really nice to find new profiles to follow.

 "Fischbrötchen" (fish roll)... is what they usually have there. 
 I think you are OK in Hamburg, Berlin would be worse. 
 Mainstream news is so bad that TikTokers do a better job reporting world events from their bedroom.

 Have you seen https://slidestr.net ? If you would establish a hashtag people could browse images with that tag, eg. https://slidestr.net/tags/photography

You could also have people just mention your account to submit images and you would just repost all the best submissions.

 Are you using the new nip-104 mls messaging proposed by JeffG? 
 My 2 sats...
- The "most visible button" is wallet on the top right. I want to click it right away - but I'm already there. maybe no color here?
- drop the scrolling banner and replace it by a static warning banner, that I can close / hide. IMHO it pulls to much attention.
- drop "welcome stranger", maybe add "Balance:" instead
- most wallets center the balance (might look better)
- the logout needs to go somewhere else (top bar menu?)
- Make the copy buttons bigger for lightning addresses (all buttons need to work for fat fingers)
- Make all icons bigger, and also make sure they look the same size (the history icon looks bigger than the withdraw icon)
- Maybe add color to the buttons in the bottom. They look less important than the "Wallet" and the copy buttons. 
 What is this „increased free time“? 
 🤩 that‘s the way … well I’m taking baby steps with a two month sabbatical 
 Would fully anonymous relays running on servers IN #Brazil be a good idea?

Just thinking that th... 
 Anonymous in what way? It would definitely make sense to have more relays in Brazil but I’m not sure if they could be scrutinized more easily. Maybe accessing international relays would be safer. 
 Yeah. It’s usually hard to run an internet connected server (plus domain name) completely anonymously but some will figure it out. 
 Are we hatching Brazilian Nostriches? 🇧🇷 
 Hardly any https://nostr.watch/

But they still can use the international ones. Nostr relay connections look like regular website request on the network. 
 I didn't join #nostr with any intent to stop using [insert centralized social platform here]. I'm... 
 Good point. We have most of the parts but someone needs to put it together into an easily deployable package. 
- a nostr relay (strfry, nostream or nostr-rs-relay)
- a media server (blossom / nip96)
- a proxy server with public domain name
- an admin UI to configure everything 
 Which is at the moment the nostr-client, which delivers the most Instagram-like user experience?

 There is no native like Amber.

There is a browser extension called NoStore but it only works in Safari.
