Strangely enough, two people have asked me already about a desktop lightning wallet that is non-custodial, but is not a full node requiring bitcoind or something complicated (it can have full node like Breez, if the node is invisible to the user and doing something like Neutrino). Something like Phoenix or Breez, but for desktop.
Any ideas?
I checked: Breez, Phoenix, Zeus don't have desktop versions, Green does have desktop version, but it's based on prehistoric Green version that doesn't do lightning.
EN: A domain is a fiat asset.
That's why I've been recommending for years not to use a .sk domain and why I'm glad that, for example, Nostr identities don't have anything to do with domains (unlike fediverse or email).
The attached article is about a domain for the new brand of slovak tv and radio (another rebrand just to change the director) and how they took some student's domain for his personal blog, because of course state TV has bigger cock.
SK: Doména je fiat asset.
Preto už roky odporúčam nepoužívať sk doménu (viď kniha Hackni sa) a preto som rád, že napríklad Nostr identity nemajú nič s doménami (na rozdiel od fediverse alebo e-mailu).

The🍁 "haiku"
Falling autumn leaves,
sixty percent SOC set,
battery on guard.
(Non haiku version:
When the leaves start to fall
I set minimum state of charge to 60%
My home solar system becomes mostly a backup battery
Ready for the system to fall too)
Does anyone know how to run Open-webui as a wrapped app with keyboard shortcuts to act as a replacement for local Siri (Apple Intelligence)/ChatGPT apps? Like pressing a hotkey will give me instant prompt to type in, without searching for browser windows and creating new conversation?
Adding a context menu to texts to allow summarization, shortening, elaborating, changing tone, or just custom rewrites would be cool as well. Especially because it would be multi-language (contrary to Apple Intelligence) and local (contrary to ChatGPT).
Another option would be any Ollama client that does the same. Open-Webui is cool though, because it can have multiple prompt styles and can work with multiple ollama endpoints, so I can use ollama-venice proxy for models that don't fit into the machine's RAM.
OK, a quick hack solution is to put custom search into Alfred or similar launcher (Albert on Linux) with your openwebui instance URL followed by /?q={query}.
Acceptable for now, although still a bit slow.
Cool protocol, although another option is that someone else records it on the cassette. It's maybe the easier solution for overseas shipping.
I can't offer this yet, our recording capabilities are pretty low quality.

i meant something else, but this would work too.
i mean I make bitpunk.fm cassette from the digital recording and I mail it to someone who wants it on the other side of the pond.
I've tried them out. So far:
- all seem to support only Alby, I don't have Alby account, except for Podverse, which wants web-ln browser extension (probably better, but I still don't use it).
- PodcastGuru has not updated episode of my podcast since August. All other players see the new episodes, this one does not
Do any of these support a different model than Web-ln / Alby? What I like about fountain is that users can immediately begin.
On the plus side - wow, so many apps!
I think this would be an ideal use case of Cashu (Cc nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9thwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2a30qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7xph5zr). The only problem is that mints can't do keysend now. There should be a way to get the node to give us invoice that would be processed and logged on the server side as keysend. At least until v4v spec adds either lightning address, or even better bolt-12. But there should still be a way to do keysend payment, as podcasts won't have to migrate.
Cashu would add a choice of custodians, self sovereignty, privacy but no need for channel management.
Another option is Nostr wallet connect, but that would not expand the selection that much, it's pretty much Alby and mutiny these days, while mutiny is shutting down. But hopefully NWC will be adopted by more wallets.
Both Cashu and NWC are usable from web, with very simple APIs, so implementing this is possible even in the browser apps (PWAs)

Hack for kids: instead of an unrestricted access to a tablet, give them a walkman with cassettes. They get understanding of physical medium, they can record songs they like (even from YouTube), stories, ... Modern walkmans can record from analog audio input, some have even an integrated microphone.
They have fun, they can play and it's entirely their own thing.
On the other side there's no corporation wanting their attention to fill their head with cornflakes ads.
And then you give them nostr:nprofile1qqsy6j4hxl30hdd0pl2epd9harr0uakn5q4f0y000ldv7cqlneg04kqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9e3hjurgv4e8qatwdvh8gmmyv9uj7qghwaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5wp6ku6ewvekj7su0fdq cassettes to listen to some good music (e.g. nostr:nprofile1qqsg37rs0fz7sfdp8mfcxve2hehz7yz2k3xcw7gchc392qyr526eucqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0cr555r) and they also learn about Bitcoin and analog encoding and a lot of other stuff.

If you don't have the cassettes, you can even make them from the digital version yourself! Just start a v4v player like fountain, press record and flip the tape when the time comes.
After setting 200 sats/min for v4v listening in Fountain, something unexpected happened to me.
I am much more picky about what I listen to. Example: I started to listen to some techie AI podcast. After few minutes I thought to myself "I know all this stuff they're talking about and I'm paying for this, I'll skip ahead". I skipped and switched to a different podcast eventually.
Normally I would tell myself "I know this stuff, but the guys are nice, maybe I'll learn something new".
Value4value works in both ways. I reward creators for the value I receive, but it makes me very conscious about what I receive.
And since my time is precious, I actually save it.
Well, you can always listen in a browser, but I think this realization is a feature, so I'd rather find something more valuable to listen to. Valuable for me.
you can! nutband is only to exchange the token with the mint for fresh one over reticulum. you actually send the tokens over reticulum (lxmf is the chatting protocol).
so you send it however you want, but when you receive it, you want to exchange it with the mint and nutband allows you to do also that over reticulum, not internet.
That is actually a really good idea. And you can type the amount and hand over just the ecash notes in that amount. And just mark them as spent locally. Much safer than dumb card which gives everything.
How does one make a flipper app?
I wonder why anyone thinks it is a good idea to have support for a Bitcoin project over Telegram. I asked one question and got five scammers immediately. They even told me to delete the question from the official support chat to avoid being scammed, and that they will take it from here.
Dear projects, have you heard of e-mail?
Telegram is the "until you forget how horrible is" type of experience. It's like McDonalds. You eat there when you forget how you felt the last time you did from the food.
Very cool episode, thank you!
I'm playing with Reticulum which has a bit more mature architecture, you guys are would love it. It runs on the same devices, but also IP / I2P, wifi halow (the new wifi standard that's up to one km range). It is a networking stack though, it can do ssh, messaging over the radio through the city, I even ported ecash cashu over it so you can send sats. It is done mostly by this one cool guy Mark who lives in an RV and puts all his soul and time to this. And it is actually meshing, if there's a route, it finds it. Neighbors can do wifi, you go further over lora. Very cool. And it's encrypted by default.
The messaging apps can work over wifi, so if you have a node at your home (or an RV), when your phone connects to the wifi, it automatically connects to the mesh. If you send a message, the node forwards it through lora or whatever

Even if you don't use Reticulum, just reading the design is beautiful. Mark got so many things right. For example encryption by default, medium agnostic, supporting super low bandwidth networks, but allowing universality.
And then you get to see the Sideband app which is the messenger and you get disaster team maps complete with GPS telemetry, situation reports, ...
It's just beautiful.
Also, many times I played with the code, I thought I could do something better and then I just realized why Mark did it the way he did and it's way better. I can improve it by adding features, but what is there is just a piece of art.
bandwidth depends on the physical medium. you can do wifi and the bandwidth is like wifi. LoRA is super slow, but that is only one of the options, it runs over almost any network
you can also run IP over reticulum, but probably not the best for your use case
A super cool thing would be able to run an RNode and rnsd Reticulum in a way that it would also listen to Meshtastic messages and route them at the same time.
With one rnode you could participate in both networks. Is it feasible? Especially the hardware/format part, we could just demultiplex the Meshtastic messages and pass them to Meshtastic app, so we don't have to implement any special Meshtastic messages logic.
Awesome episode, even the ads are cool. I have recently set my rewards to 200sats/min because why have this space technology to send cents. But I was kind of not feeling so happy when I was listening to some podcasts and they had ads and I'm thinking "why am I paying to listen to ads?". But good job in choosing ad partners that are actually cool and open source.
About Meshtastic - it is definitely cool, but you guys are going to love Reticulum. It runs on the same devices, but also IP / I2P, wifi halow (the new wifi standard that's up to one km range). It is a networking stack though, it can do ssh, messaging over the radio through the city, I even ported ecash cashu over it so you can send sats. It is done mostly by this one cool guy Mark who lives in an RV and puts all his soul and time to this. And it is actually meshing, if there's a route, it finds it.

Welcome @lizznakamoto to Nostr. She is a shared identity that can be used by people who want to share cool Cypherpunk projects anonymously. Usually, this is quite a big problem, because if you want to share open source code and want to stay anonymous, you can't use your existing social network.
The password to posting is going to be shared widely among devs. If you are a free software and cypherpunk author (even if not anon), ask for password and spread it wisely.
We want the anonymity set to grow, plus it's not defined, it's just the knowledge of a password. So it can't be really pinpointed who knows it.
On the other hand, there is a password, otherwise the account would be just taken over by spammers, reducing usefulness.
Lizz is accessible through Nostr (give her a follow) and you can also access her website for people who are not Nostr enabled yet. Through the web you can also easily post, the Nostr private key is derived from the password in JavaScript.
