Bitcoin since 674760
Nostr since 790469


So my Bitcoin and Lightning nodes have been running rock solid for months now.

That's a good thing. BUT I sure knew what I was doing better when stuff was breaking and I was in there tinkering trying to fix it.

Now that it works? I'm gonna forget how to do all this stuff! Next time it breaks i'm screwed. 🤣


As an aside, I love sitting with my desktop feed open, posting via my phone, and seeing the feed instantly update on my desktop.

Nostr is fast


Gm nostr

Coffee and studies before the kids get up, then add some Bluey, and all is well.

Be kind today

Oh don't be that guy


gm nostr

Is anyone here exclusively nostr? Or are you sharing your time with other social platforms?

I went back to X for to-the-minute election results. The algo and ads make it so, so noisy now. It had been a while.

I tried Threads, and the algo is so aggressive I only saw posts about gaming nostalgia, streamers asking for engagement, or people complaining about Bluesky.

Speaking of Bluesky - that feels a lot like early Twitter. A chronological timeline and no spam so far.

Nostr has the best tech tho. 🔥


Am I starting to lean into #Ditto as my primary desktop Nostr client? hmmmmmm


I still believe that nostr overall is too Bitcoin-heavy.

That said, it sure is fun right now. :-)


lol 😂


Gm nostr

Enjoying the BTC chart and watching Bluey while having a nice cup of coffee. Great way to start the day.

It feels strange to complain about social media being noisy -- isn't that kind of the point? Like the town square?

Yet here I am, trying to find signal in the noise. At least BTC is ripping 🎉

Halfway through my morning coffee, but what am I supposed to do, watch Bluey on an empty stomach? 🤣

Hope you all have an awesome day

Man. I had all but removed social media from my life and was better for it. Then wanting up-to-the-minute info on the election got me back into checking X. Overrun with ads.

So I took the opportunity to also check Threads and Bluesky. Threads is pretty sure I only want content related to the latest Dragon Age game. Bluesky is greenfield for me so there's not much to look at.

It's an interesting state of things in social media. But the noise, the scrolling... I'm just not sure that it's for me.

Ditto.pub is pretty cool too

Shhh I shouldn't have said his name out loud


OOF. my condolences


I'm realizing that I feel a little guilty when I get Claude to come up with a script for something. Because I didn't actually do it, so I feel like I don't deserve credit for it.

Like I automated some really time consuming reports for one of the engineers on my team, and saved them a lot of time. But I didn't actually have the creativity and know-how to devise a utility on the fly -- I just knew how to get it out of Claude.

It worked, so it shouldn't matter, right? It's an odd feeling.

Election season is exhausting. Political social media is one of my least favorite things. Time to close the app and get back to studies. 👨💻


Learning curve is still too steep.


IVPN is now on Nostr.

Following a conversation at Baltic Honeybadger with  nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 regarding the pros and cons of 'company operated accounts on Nostr' + hearing talks on the future of free speech online, we are convinced that this is the right place (or rather, protocol) to be for us.

We've maintained a reserved, low-key presence on other social channels for many years. We as a team and as individuals prefer not to shout louder in a cacophony. While some companies thrive on oversharing for engagement and treating social communities as marketing funnels, such tactics don't align with our straightforward, no-bullshit approach.

For Nostr we are trying something different, without any compromise on these values. Expect more posts with direct opinions, in-depth analysis, privacy/VPN consultation and anything else that contributes to the community.

To anyone we've met at Bitcoin and other conferences over the years - hello! Nice to see you here. We are ready to continue the hundreds of conversations we had around trust, transparency, sovereignty, open-source ideals, LN merchant adoption, circular economy for Bitcoin and new radical ideas.

Reach out in public or private if you have any questions, ideas or suggestions. Let's do this!


Kids have soccer/gymnastics/dance and then just trying to make sure they're happy and healthy in the time between. That's the weekend. 😅

Coffee ☕ and Claude on this wonderful Friday morning


lol wtf is Paloma on about


gm folks

Coffee ☕ and Bluey and all is right in the world


It's frustrating to see my dear fellow humans fall into the same ideological traps that have been so common in history.

Nationalism
Racism
Sexism
Xenophobia
Anti-Semitism
Etc.

(To be fair, I see much more examples of these on X than on Nostr at the moment.)

Can we all agree that there are both wonderful people and horrible people in every race, religion, nation, gender, and creed?

Can we agree that we all have the capacity for good and evil? That there is a dark and a light side to every individual?

Blaming society wide issues on one group just exacerbates our problems. It solves exactly zero problems.

To dole out justice and right the ship, we need to pinpoint individuals who are responsible for doing harm, and we need to hold those individuals accountable for their actions.

It doesn't matter what the color of their skin is, or what religion they practice. It doesn't matter who they sleep with, or where they are from. An individual who purposely does harm to others needs to be punished and deterred from doing further harm.

Perhaps this is too tall an order right now, but one can only hope.

If El Salvador can do it, the United States can do it. The UK can do it. The EU can do it.

The "Free World" has a lot of work to do to live up to its title. For starters, perhaps we should drop all the awful ideological, tribal thinking.

I will look into it!


I'm still a #noStrudel ho, but I think I'm liking the ditto.pub experience better than Primal on desktop. Clean and fast. 🔥


I agree which is why I'm not implementing either on my relay yet. The solution is out there somewhere


gm nostr - already halfway through my coffee ☕

Wish I could get my brain to care more about studying for a certification than tweaking my relay, but the heart wants what the heart wants. 😅

Hope you have a great Sunday


Not much but finally exploring what can be done with the relay customization-wise. The most significant thing I did was shutter the strfry node in favor of nostr-rs-relay which seems more stable and faster thus far


Omg the only way little me was able to play PC games. So dicey lol


Ditto.pub is very nice.


gm - happy Saturday

I'm gradually becoming a more sophisticated node runner.👨💻 Still free, though.

Hope you all have an awesome weekend.


So nostr-rs-relay is running. Notes are posting. But it's generating zero logs. At all. Wtf


Just successfully migrated my relay to nostr-rs-relay -- no longer running strfry. Looks like it's up and running so if you've noticed it down a lot of today, that's why.

Any strfry relay operators out there filtering for spam, and willing to share their strfry.conf file to help a pleb get rid of these Reply Guy posts?


Once I'm able to do a little plagiarizing as well, I will certainly share!


I've been running a relay for a while but have not put in the legwork to learn how to do any filtering.

In the wake of Reply Guy, perhaps it's time to figure out how to reject events based on phrases (like "GM, from wss:" for instance).

Same boat. Arc has a little learning curve but the more time I spend with it the better it gets. Still doesn't feel optimal for loads of tabs though, if that's needed


Mullvad mostly, thought last I checked iVPN was not blocked by Reddit, if that matters


Arc Browser is kinda nice. I'm getting used to it for personal stuff.

So far still sticking to Brave for work -- much better for managing loads of tabs imo.

Globally the NES sold ~61.91 million units. The Master System sold 10 to 13 million units worldwide.

Prompt: a purple humanoid ostrich wearing a hoodie and walking in a cyberpunk city

Google ImageFX:

I like MJ result in this one MUCH more. The city feels much more alive, and the nostrich seems more relaxed and humanoid.


I do subscribe to MJ - right now google's generator is free:

gm nostr

Testing out Google's ImageFX image generator against Midjourney with the same prompt.

Prompt: a hooded figure typing on a laptop in a cyberpunk data center. highly realistic.

Midjourney:
 https://image.nostr.build/5223805e21638e1bafbd7a403ad21a40ec26304c98f590013f2e5346aafec961.jpg

Gotta say that the generator itself for ImageFX is pretty sweet. It latches on to variables in your prompt and gives drop-down menus to swap them out if you want to refine your result.

They're both great images but MJ's is a bit more stylized and detailed. But I do like the depth effects in ImageFX's output.

What a cool time we're living in to play with stuff like this.

If you enjoy the Umbrel's Bitcoin stack but don't want to be locked in to Umbrel OS, this guy spun out the apps into a separate github repo so you get the same functionality without running Umbrel. Works great.

https://github.com/JDsnyke/crypto


Those are Matrix-level chem trails lol


Umbrel was a great stepping stone for me -- it introduced me to self-hosting. But it ultimately inspired me to set up my own dashboard and containers. Hope your latest foray goes well


Finally finally finally have my local noStrudel instance working with image upload. It all came down to SSL.

That was hanging out in my brain for a while.

Also, this was the first time I went down a rabbit hole with Claude to help troubleshoot. And it worked out -- I learned a ton while digging around.

Now back to studying


You were CORRECT.

Once I got SSL up and running on my instance, the problem is fixed.

Thank you! This was a long time coming.

Essentialism by Greg McKeown


ok that's funny


I don't spend enough time in my day with hands on keyboard - so if I need help with an SQL query or something, I get my result and move on.

I guess time will tell if it sinks in this way. On the other hand, as long as I have ChatGPT available, it's not the biggest concern. Just an observation


Ok so if I use ChatGPT to help with coding and querying, I don't learn it.


I'm not sure I like it, but might just be because it's new

Happy Juneteenth

I don’t understand why it’s a controversial holiday, July 4th didn’t mean independence for everyone in America, it’s okay to accept that. It’s our history.

Celebrating America means acknowledging the good and the bad.  America is beautiful, and America is free. Celebrate both holidays, as it celebrates the core value of independence.

Don’t make it into something it’s not, which is another outlet for us as Americans to be divided.

To the Black American nostriches, thank you for being here.

Before you start sharing clickbait headlines like "Proton is compromised", "privacy is dead", etc, just read the whole fucking  news article first.

Proton always said they would provide whatever they have (metadata) to Law Enforcement if subpoenaed. That was never a secret or in question. They are an actual registered company...

They still don't nhave access to email body content. E2E encryption still works. What they can provide is IP addresses, recovery email, recovery phone, browser fingerprints and email metadata (timestamp, recipient, sender, subject, size).

If you are worried about this (you should), use a VPN (not proton VPN) or Tor, avoid disclosing sensitive information in the email subject.

Despite the FUD, people are still 99% safer and more private using ProtonMail relative to Gmail or similar.

Single Board Computer. You might not end up with a reliable node


Good post, and I get the philosophy, but man that is GROSS


Wouldn't recommend using a SBC personally


Most of my containers aren't running in Umbrel, but the new version of Umbrel requires an entire OS install from what I understand. So I need to get off the train.


Hardest part is going to be trying to figure out how to transfer my existing nodes to containers outside of umbrel. Starting from scratch would be far easier.

Hm.


It's high time I learned how to run my Bitcoin-related services on my server without Umbrel.


Oh. That's a bummer.


Well I was about to dive in and now I'm scared. But how would upgrading an Umbrel instance on a Linux box lose ssds?


Oh yikes. Is it open to everyone yet or still just umbrel box owners?

Announcing my latest pet project, Helm Wallet.

I believe there’s a huge gap between the ease of use of Wallet of Satoshi and the self-custody of Phoenix. To minimize this gap, I created a new web app, a wallet that has the self-custody of Phoenix and is easy to use as WoS.

Helm is a Liquid wallet that uses Boltz submarine swaps to disguise itself as a Lightning wallet that even your grandma can use.

But it has a cost.

All transactions must go on the Liquid chain and also Boltz must earn something for the service they provide, so there are fees to be paid:

- The minimum cost for sending a payment is around 200 sats;
- The average cost for sending **or receiving** a payment is around 400 sats plus 0.1% of the amount;
- Transactions between Helm wallets don’t pay Boltz fees but can take up to 1 minute to complete;
- Amounts are limited between 1.000 and 25.000.000 sats.

You can try it (testnet if you want) on https://helm-wallet.pages.dev/

Code is available at https://github.com/bordalix/helm-wallet

The web app is completely independent, no server required. You can clone it, build it and run it from your own computer. Everything runs on the browser.

Critics and suggestions are welcome.

I generally use noStrudel and toggle them on and off as necessary


Having an ISP with a dynamic IP sure makes exposing services more complicated. Looks like nostdress has cached an old IP so invoices aren't generating anymore -- though NIP-05 is resolving just fine.

This is the kind of stuff I need to stay away from during the work day. I could far too easily burn hours troubleshooting this.

If everyone needs to run a node for LN to succeed, it won't succeed.

I think it's enough that anyone CAN run a node.


I updated the lightning address on my profile yesterday. I did so via noStrudel and Snort, and made sure that any clients I tried showed the updated profile.

Everything appeared to update except for jnump.me, and I never figured out what relays that is looking at to understand any profile changes.

But strangely enough, checking my nostdress logs, it seems like there are more references out there to my old lightning address than new one, because I'm still seeing tons of lookup failures referencing the defunct address.

Again, I made this change yesterday, so it will be interesting to see when these errors finally dry up -- which I would interpret as propagation.

Would be cool if there was a client that scraped relays for media content and organized it into an app by category. Could take it a step further and enable people to create a "channel" page based off of media in notes posted by their npub and have a place to deliver that content.

But we don't really have that yet. I don't begrudge video content creators for hosting their content elsewhere at this point


I'm impreased with how consistent the branding has been on some of those apps.

Correction: Snort also did not have my updated profile, but at least I was able to make the change in Snort. I guess I'll wait and see if njump.me updates on its own, but there's certainly noticeable lag at the very least.


Any Nostr client I try has my correct profile info (updated lightning links) but looks like njump.me still has my old profile cached.

Anyone know if there's a way to force a refresh?


Hey another cool #noStrudel feature randomly discovered -- mousing over a NIP gives a quick synopsis of it!
https://i.nostr.build/BRoWn.png


I think I finally managed to get nostdress working again, and via docker instead of systemctl service. Now it properly redirects, gives me NIP-05 verification, and should receive zaps directly to my lightning node.

It's so satisfying when stuff WORKS.


I didn't know about that feature - very nice. But it also helped me notice that noStrudel also at least calls out who will be notified on a note, though you can't select.

Nostdress is a fork of satdress to add nostr features. Is satdress still kept up to date?


Looks like I need to find a new way to host my lightning address from my own domain. Nostdress has stopped working ever since I changed ISPs, and while it resolves my profile, it no longer creates invoices.

Kids go back to school today for a couple days before the weekend. A little bit more time to prepare for the new job before it kicks off on Monday. 👀

Hope you all have a great Thursday


So max of 25 years in jail for each if im reading correctly. This is crazy


Holy shit


Wha


I'm not here on Nostr because I run away from Twitter. I'm here because I'm in search for an internet as it once used to be.

I'm a hacker who fucking hates that social media is in the hands of private companies. I remember using IRC and meeting likeminded anons online. I remember what the internet utopia felt like. People who didn't care what your name or status is, people who aren't interested in sharing their boring holiday pics with random strangers online. I'm not interested in what politicians and influencers have to say. I don't care about the latest mainstream trend that's going viral.

I want random weird interesting smart people around me who share their ideas in a free and open space that isn't controlled by anyone.

That's all I'm looking for. There aren't many such spaces on the internet.

That's interesting to think about halving cycles as a time span not unlike a month or a year. We think about how things change year to year -- but halving to halving is useful too.

Man I simply cannot figure out how to get nostdress to work via docker. It's working great as a systemctl service, but matching the environment values to docker-compose still ends up with broken lightning links if I launch via docker. Systemctl works no problem with the same env values.

Just stopping in to vent. GUH


Right? Wtf


Now you're just being weird man. Move on.


Well I'm happy to be fascinating to you, I guess. That's ok if you find me odd too.


You're really in to this


Wherever your mind is taking you my friend


It's not that deep. I think it would be a bad habit.


It's easier to be given rules because you don't have the accept the responsibility of coming up with them yourself.

When you have freedom, you need to create your own guardrails, your own guidelines, your own boundaries. It takes work. You have more control and more responsibility over yourself.

When you have freedom, you need to put in the work.


Freedom doesn't mean that you should do all the things and say all the things just because you can.

Freedom means you have a choice.

Choose who you want to be.


Words aren't powerless (and thank god) - we'll have to agree to disagree there.


Weird al invocation gets a zap. I don't make the rules.


The path ahead is daunting. Neck deep in docs and labs to feel just a little less dumb as my start date approaches.

Head up, walking forward.

i love snort. I'm no help. 😄


People generally do not like to see others succeed - even their friends. They may say they do and act like they do but they get envious and distant once you succeed.

There are very few people who actually want to see you win and they are usually people who have already made it or are going through a similar thing and know what you’re going through.

I think a lot of that comes from their own inability to accomplish anything out of their own lack of drive.

I suppose the moral of the story is don’t waste your energy on people who are not kicking ass daily to further themselves in their goals.

Wavlake has been a great place to throw some music up and see what happens. Since it's new and a relatively small listener base, it's been great for trying things a little out of my comfort zone.

I would also recommend https://stemstr.app for collaborations. I post beats on there sometimes and there are some folks who will hop on and drop verses! It's resulted in some really cool ongoing projects.

Great idea!


Gm Dan! Happy st paddy's

recently I've been finding a lot more luck with good connections using #ivpn vs #mullvad

just me? anyone else experiencing this?


as clients mature, the whole experience has been rapidly improving over the past year

Gm - happy st paddy's!


👀 hoping for a quick resolution! yikes


gm Jeremy

couldn't agree more! that good ache is so satisfying


you are so in the right place 😂


#nostr pro tip:

Mess around with toggling replies and reposts on and off. It transforms your feed. Not necessarily for better or worse, just a different look and feel within a given client.

#nostrudel makes this really easy with toggles right at the top of the screen above your feed

feels pretty early for fees like this

#Onlyzaps on Damus is the only one I'm aware of


The more I think about this the better it gets


I'm still hoping we get nostr clients with Simplex integrated for DMs


Followed


See a repost. Give a repost.

Ok maybe not that one


Damn that's a lot. I'm just a 21er but still zap happy


i installed the app to see what's what. all identities in my neighborhood are listed. there's even a map view with icons over houses. it's gross


Gm Matt ☕


Oh cool. Now evangelicals are collecting our data.

nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 - Any ideas on njump? Profiles seem very outdated


I added noswhere and nos social and no change in njump.


I don't think purplepag.es is for writing to is it? I don't use any of these relays either though. I'll mess around on my end too


I've started using nostrudel with reposts turned off. it's been nice


Hm. I'd be curious how other clients like #nostrudel handle this -- curious if you end up trying others.


omg scuse me while i consolidate


Do you know where njump gets the profile from? When I look up my npub it's very outdated


Yana maybe


Whoa. Turning off reposts is a very different nostr experience. Might toggle this one from time to time.


gn Ava 🌙


Yana is another iirc

For those that are new to Nostr, hello!

What’s cool about it is that Nostr it is an open source protocol. It is not a centralized company, but rather is a protocol that individuals and companies can build upon.

This means that you can use many different applications to access it, or even build your own. And it means that there is no central authority that can take down posts or delete accounts; there are different servers operated by different entities that are storing the data. And there is no central algorithm for determining what posts people see or don’t see.

You can hook up a bitcoin lightning wallet to send and receive tips (“zaps”) on posts. Nostr itself is not a blockchain or crypto and has no token, but the Bitcoin blockchain does complement it well via zaps.

Nostr is still relatively small, and a bit rough around the edges. But the community here is great, and familiarizing yourself with the technology and concept is useful in a world of centralized social media. It is a new method of decentralization that balances various trade-offs in a novel way, and the protocol can be used for a lot more than just social media.

Welcome!


I can definitely attest to this.

Welcome


Messing around with #Vikunja since an update just came through the Umbrel store.

This is a great to-do list app that's surprisingly clean for how versatile it is. I think I'm gonna daily drive it for a bit. Great first impressions.


Yeah the identity thing is definitely a me problem now -- working on it. :-)

Just noticed that you are a fellow drummer (i'm a music school kid) so the fellowship is enough help!


Thank you for the encouragement!


Good looking out, never trolled this one. Thanks!


Thanks Shawn. I'm not a software dev so the nostr connection doesn't help as much. I'm now a flailing telecom middle-manager and no one wants to hire one, so I'm working on pivoting to cybersecurity. Got myself a couple new certs, studying for more, and finding myself looking for some IT positions closer to entry level to build myself back up again.


So what if there's another dip. You still caught a great dip.


Had a moment this morning where it felt like everything is falling apart and I'll never get back on my feet. Being laid off is hard. Job hunting in today's tech market is hard.

I stopped for a moment to remind myself that I'm healthy, my family is healthy, we live in a nice house in a nice neighborhood, and there's a lot of love in here.

Life is good. Sometimes it takes a moment to remember it, but life is good.

get yourself a lightning address so I can zap you ⚡

I would be using zap stream more when I'm working on beats if I wasn't super self conscious about it.

Something to work on about myself.


hahahaha wtf 🤣

All the info is on the relays. The client just displays it for you, so you can use whatever client you want, anytime you want. 🚀


That's hilarious 🤣 Bitcoin use cases unexplored


Those are abundant 😁

Shoutout to https://atomstr.data.haus which I just discovered - really easy way to add any atom/rss feed to your nostr feed. No more need for a separate rss reader. #grownostr

Easiest way is to use Umbrel or Start9 --

I use Umbrel myself on my own hardware -- it's free to install if you have a computer to run it on.

What is your use case for it, btw? I liked it for trying out clean OS installs but my most capable system is already containered up to the point that proxmox would tip the apple cart


This sounds fascinating. If you do post something more formalized I'd be interested to read


Agreed. However I think the parents determine what qualifies as corruption regarding their child.


Yeah but "corruption" is about as subjective as you get. School or no school, still the parents' responsibility to guide.

This is also an effect of being lucky enough to have two good parents. I'm fortunate.


Depends on where you live and the quality of your local schools.

My parents' advice: buy the house, or buy the school. We decided to go with a lesser home and buy the school.
