 Almost would've believed you, but then I remembered my mom introduced me to nostr:nprofile1qqstzt0wugc7sklvr8e7fcl7ukyn63ym3ns4nmf2mnk0vqnz4l9x65qpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumtfv3jxc6twvuhx67tydeeju6nsqythwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn5dacx2arg9e5kuen0te28kw s videos after she and her husband reversed his prediabetes and after finally rejecting the "public health" institutions you seem to be supporting here I changed my life. No more allergies, back pain, mouth sores, heart burn and future prospects on life flipped right side up.

You did the work, the schooling, now figure out what parts of it were lies or become a joke as others figure it out first. 
 It's happening. The ring of power has been made.

 Went to New York with my wife last week. 

Ended up getting a really nice pic of Lady Liberty and a beautiful #Sailboat. I actually didn't have high expectations of #NY but I was pleasantly blown away. I could only imagine #sailing the waters around NY on such a #beautiful boat.

 It sure does. Honestly without Elon buying twitter I think we would have had a different outcome. Or the demochine just went to far this time. Not subtle enough. 
 Kamala overestimated how stupid Americans are. Not sure big tech is enough to carry the demochine anymore.

 Everyone I know whose had a compromised account on the major social platforms never got it back no matter how hard they tried. Having a non-rotating key is important. if my key is compromised no bad actor can stop me from going in and posting "This account is compromised". they're complaining about something even X/Facebook/insta doesn't do well at. At least here once you find out you have a way Forward that doesn't include all your friends and family getting scammed.

 Interesting. 10 of the 11 million possible trojan infected #android devices were from a Play store app, and the recommended solution is to only use Play store apps.

I suppose I don't think EVERYONE should use other sources, but maybe the number one recommended solution for people shouldn't be to just use the Play store to avoid trojans. 

I think the concept of zap.store is more trustworthy as long as one knows to only install apps signed by trusted signers. 

That leads me to think though nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef02j4wvt is there a vetting process y'all go though before signing? Are there any ideas or things to come to make zap.store the most trusted?

I wonder if a per release badge could be applied to app releases that says something like "this release is verified clean by <auditor/antivirus team>"

 Is there any way for me to enable push notifications on #amethyst and if not, anybody got a good ... 
 Would be nice to have a toggle to turn on notifications for when a follow starts streaming too :)

I see Yakihonne requested notification permission when I installed it but I haven't gotten any. 
 It's dangerous to have ANYONE deciding what is fact on the behalf of the people. 
 Keep it in a dark container that blocks light it will stay fresh longer :) 
 I wonder how long I would have to "not integrate" to qualify for the payment. 🤔

nostr:nevent1... 
 I wonder how many times you can qualify. 
 Looking like time to return to the Fediverse lol 
 I was interested in the Fedi but then instances started banning each other. I fear those doing this attack may want us to go the the fediverse. There you're either in a echo-chamber of deep-state propaganda or your instance is blocked by many.

Not that I think all the instances are paid off, but they happen to be what elites want. To be block happy and divided. I want to see both sides. 
 How would you feel if Amethyst automatically created a Relationship Status event for every person... 
 I like for something like this to be configurable. Like with wot I could mark it to 0 so if anyone with Relationship Status with me blocks the user, I don't see them. Or maybe I set to -1/3 to see more when I feel like it.

These bot attacks seem to be ever changing and many attacks aren't perminent. Right now I'd probably set it to 1 but maybe when it calms down i'd set it to -1. 
 An increase of spam sucks, but it also means that we're moving from the underdog state to a more ... 
 On top of choosing my relays, which should stop spam, something I can configure like wot is great. Unfortunately I see much spam coming from filter.nostr.wine which was paid and doing good until today. :(

I think the concept of WOT is great but can't just stop at follows. One should be able to choose the WOT points that users must have, but also choose how many layers (follows of follows of follows) aggregate that score. WOT isn't the one solution but it's needed. and needs to be more configurable. 
 Your right it does hurt discovery. I just like when I can control it. I limited everything to like 2 relays, then stopped seeing things in certain clients, added a couple back. Choosing relays still confuses me I suppose. 
 The spam is getting more diverse and adaptive. 
 Wow, all posts today look like this. my WOT is set to 1. Tis a dark day.

 I love the idea of @Start9, however thought of it as "mostly" useless to average individuals who aren't looking to tor everything.

While the new version is in developement to enable https external access to services using your domain, I found out a hack on how to do this in the meantime

Credit to remcoros on the @Start9  for the original guide. Hopefully I made it a little more understandable to dumbos like me 😉 

As a prerequisite, you'll need to know Caddy reverse proxy (or use another, but Caddy simplifies cert stuff for me), and you'll need to know basic CLI, like how to navigate the filesystem, and create/save a text file.

This example uses the FreeGPT service but I've tested with @noStrudel, and nostr-rs-relay.

## Enable external access+HTTPS
1. pick a port and subdomain. add the entry to Caddy for automatic certificate/ssl reverse proxy:
```
https://subdomain.domain.com:443 {
	header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000;
	reverse_proxy 192.168.1.111:50002
}	
```
2. Install the service from start9 marketplace or sideload.
3. Go to the services management page and go to the Wrapper Repository URL listed there.
4. Arriving in Github, look for the file `scripts/procedures/healthChecks.ts`
	1. possibly line 4? You should see a line: `"web-ui": healthUtil.checkWebUrl("http://free-gpt.embassy:8080")`, the part you need is `free-gpt.embassy:8080` which is the service and port it's listening on.
5. Now SSH into the Start9 server and switch to the root user with `sudo -i`.
6. Switch to the "chrooted" environment with `/usr/lib/startos/scripts/chroot-and-upgrade`. You should see a bit of syncing.
7. Create and open your service file `vim /lib/systemd/system/socat.freegpt.service` and give it a sensible name.
8. Paste the below text and:
	1. Modify the description
	2. Modify the port number after "tcp-l" to match the port you chose in your CaddyFile.
	3. Modify the text "free-gpt.embassy:8080" to match the text for your service found from Github.
```
bash
[Unit]
Description=socat electrs forward
Wants=podman.service
After=podman.service

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=3
ExecStartPre=/bin/bash -c "/bin/systemctl set-environment IP=$(ip route | grep default | awk '{print $9}')"
ExecStart=/usr/bin/socat tcp-l:50002,fork,reuseaddr,su=nobody,bind=${IP} tcp:free-gpt.embassy:8080

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
9. Save and quit.
10. Start your service with `systemctl enable socat.freegpt` or whichever service name you chose. That's the file name you created earlier.
11. exit the "chrooted" environment with `exit`.
12. That's it! if all's well you may reach your site on the clear-net with your domain.



 
 Long as you complete step 6 it should. It reboots after leaving the chrooted environment. 
 I'd probably have had better luck if I did that! I just remember a couple years ago I couldn't get nginx to work for Nextcloud and I found Caddy which has been my buddy since. It's automated https by default.

Course I've had to do nginx for work more recently but systems gave me the trusted cert lol

 How many minutes before is the policy to receive no-nut food? 
 The list of restaurants I go to have been decreasing steadily over the last few years. Fast food especially though. I don't know how people live on it. I can't stand the feeling when my foods wrong for the 3rd restaurant visit in a row.

I think they are telling people though. Their telling them they're open with the sign on the door. 
 If it's not open source, it's not private.

 They're sure not anyone else's. 
 Nostr smart contracts are coming. 

Then we add verifiable computations. 

And boom. Trustless ma... 
 In Amethyst I saw a dvm that popped up a charge for 10 sats to load. Seemed very smart contracty to me! For cool useful things like filtering all follows temporarily I'll fork it up.

Verifiable computations sounds cool but one good baby step would be for them to add more than 3-4 words describing what they do in the description. They're a mystery now. 
 If you can see this, Tor is now inside of Amethyst.

No more Orbot. 
 Would you consider nip-60/61 (built-in ecash support) centralized stacks? Seems like a grey area for me as the nips aren't centralized but allow the user to choose between centralized mints. 
 What say you, #Nostr? Do you like the idea of your reports in #Amethyst very likely showing up as... 
 Another spin. You posted the warning sign in agreement to the op as the content of their post was a warning (as some do on Facebook) and the clients posting as hearts used an icon that represents all reactions to be more friendly with users coming from Twitter.

Another thought maybe was there a simple like nip before the react nip? Maybe clients wanted to easily combine both nips together in the way Amethyst combines reports/reacts. 
 I only recently found out of + being positive and - being negative recently by manually looking up how satellite.earth tagged up/downvotes in it's events. I knew about holding the zap button in amethyst to get to zap settings so out of curiosity, gave holding the react button a try. Lo and behold I can change the reaction options! And + was a heart/- was a thumbs down.

Back in the day reddit was my fav so hope such compatibility for voting can be somewhat unified in a few nostr clients.

Though till learning of the - reaction, I considered ALL reactions to be positive. After all some dvms will no doubt provided content based on all activity a post gets and you wouldn't help someone providing bad content get more views. 
 Recently started using Coracle and it's my fav for web. I prefer android though and Amethyst is my fav there. Yall are great thank you both for your work!

I'm by no means a pro but think if there's now a future universal reports kind we should move to it. A toggle in settings is always an option when there's differing opinions along with a warning on first use of the report function "heads up some clients will see this report as a reaction unless you disable in settings!"

On another silly note this reminds me of the debate between laptops having usb-a vs usb-c. Some are mad at laptop designers for not including the old a type. I'm mad at device creators for continuing to sell it. Quicker it stops being sold the quicker people won't need dongles! 
 Let my friends daughter helm /steer the #sailboat this summer.

She was scared to sail at first but now can't wait to be back on the boat! #sailing

 A bot that replied from each relay when requested could make sense but this replying to every note. 

I can't help but to think calling it speech is like calling a ddos attack legitimate use of a service.

It will be lynched and that is the expected outcome. I'd be surprised to hear many relay operators find it helpful. 
 I assume the attack may be someone trying to make a point. Probably with bad intensions but possibly to forcibly up the client devs priority on handling spam before another "twitter migration" type event happens.

 Not a lie just different desires, like the ability to find a good camp spot and get away from people every once in a while, or eat quality real food. We can SURVIVE with a lot more people. Doesn't mean that's desirable.

 IDK about ONLY seed oils, but I drastically reduced plants when my mom convinced me to try carnivore. Used to take antihistamines for allergies every day, heard burn relief chews every day, nasal inhalant every night to breath for sleep, pain meds almost everyday for back pain. All that disappeared and my life honestly changed. Either way, not a religion and not worth judging over. 
 Maybe not a kind 1 post but I know when you report something Amethyst not only reports it but sends a reaction with alarm sign. I don't like it though cus if I report something I don't want to help advertise it in any way.

Ability to see a list of accounts your followers blocked could be nice though for those wanting to seek them out. 
 Luckily the worst of the worst I think is blocked at the relay level once found out, however I feel once you see all these block events in your timeline you may find yourself seeing much content you rather had not seen in the first place. Once WOT is more available in clients you won't need to block accounts your follows blocked.
