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. 🤣

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. 🔥

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 🎉
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.
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.
Holy hell fees are low this morning 👀

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
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.

Spent a lot of time chatting with Claude and writing a plugin script to filter out some reply guy spam on my relay.
Is it working? Not sure yet... will be monitoring today. But it's been fun to explore.
Hope you all have an awesome Friday!
gm nostr ☀️
Claude helped me implement filtering on my relay. Going to take a swipe at filtering out Reply Guy spam. Here goes nothing.
Hope you all have an awesome Thursday
