 No surprise, there. 
 Hey, we're almost the same age! Tell me what 45 is like, once you get there! 😁 
 Ce n'est pas Burberry.

 I inherited the camel 🐫 hair coat from my mother and the scarf is the loud MacLeod in wool. 
 GM. Move is going well and we're spending the day shopping for paint, so yay.

 30040s? We're publishing test material on thecitadel.nostr1.com, mostly under my @Testerin account.

I just deleted some, tho, as we adjusted the NUD tags. Importing some new ones today. I'll tag you, in a bit, with the njump. 
 @Michael J  needed some new ones, to test with, so you asked at a good time. ☺️  
 They're missing some of the nifty Asciidoc metadata like logos and publishing info, and stuff, but the mandatory tags are correct. 
 Where can I find a registry of #nostr kind numbers in use? Not the ranges. Specific numbers used ... 
 I keep a list, as json, but I also make sure that they're all listed on the NIP repo ReadMe (scroll down to Events).

 Yes, it did! I was surprised. 😅  
 @PABLOF7z 
I changed the WoT-required score to 0 and deleted thesamecat relay, but I can't figure out how to save the changes.

 Neither element reacts persistently. When I reopen the panel, it is back to before. 
 Relay.tools 
 @PABLOF7z I accidentally clicked "defer" on my own article and now the article has disappeared. 
 And my nostr link is displayed with the text "link:" as prefix, instead of as an actual link.

 wikifreedia 
 Same, but I kept forgetting to report it. I post with different npubs, so I get confused, and this happens regularly. 🙈  
 Yes, but it also appears at the bottom of the screen when I look at my own pages, and if I unwittingly click it, out of habit, then it deletes my page. Then I deferred to my own page and now there's no more page, you see. It's like a delete loop.

 I'm actually at @Silberengel  now.

 You could just onboard them to theforest.nostr1.com.  I curate it by hand, so that it's a sane space, and nobody outside of it can read the notes.

Just give me their npubs, and I'll whitelist them. 
 Almost every human npub on Nostr is a lurker. 
 Yeah, I'm just saying. There aren't that many active ones, so you can have an npub with a few hundred followers and the replies are as lively, as with a few thousand.

It's "only" reactions and zaps that go down, and that only for the really gigantic npubs. I wasn't getting many of those, to begin with. 
 That's typical for social media. 90% on Twitter are lurkers. Only really 2% drive the entire convo. 
 Nah, I specified "human". Bots can't lurk. 
 I only post GM along with something really edgy. 😅  Then everyone is afraid to respond with a "GM".

Breaking GM protocol. Question everything. Rebel life. 
 Yeah, it's fun here. 
 There's only about 200 people, out of the 5000, that ever replied, and they tend to be quite active and have already noticed the switch, so I'm basically done recruiting. 
 Can you see my @Silberengel npub in your feed?

 It doesn't seem to prevent repeats because there is no common database. Until recently, some migrants were even listed in different towns and collected welfare from each town. They appear to do the same with the countries. 
 Wouldn't surprise me if the mafia is running all of this and giving some politicians and bureaucrats a cut.

 The list was wrong, but it should be fixed, now.

This.

nevent1qqszt0jj67t5... 
 Yup. 
 I have too many npubs. I might retire this one. 
 I have the @Silberengel npub, for dev-specific stuff. 
 This npub is my personal one and it's increasingly just depressing me because it has enough reach to draw trolls, bots, and haters, but not enough to really impact anything. 
 What does that mean? 
 Yes, probably, to an extent. I'm very normal, in that way.
I'm not easily discouraged, but I eventually get worn down. 
 Risk/reward is way off. It's been staring me in the face for a while, now, but I've been dithering. 
 Of course. It's good for reposting other people's stuff. 
 I'm just not going to publish anything top-level with it. 
 Good grief. Never seen such a low signal-to-noise ratio on here, in a thread, before.

 I don't see any of that in my client, thankfully. Public relays are full of crap, fr.

that’s what brings people to nostr.

 @cloud fodder do you have a solution to the ReplyGirl, ReplyGuy, and the "subtle reply anon" bots that are flooding the feeds? 
 Can you find these ones? I keep seeing ReplyGuy and ReplyGirl and now there's more subtle ones without a handle.

 Okay, I've now responded to the many complaints about seeing changing pictures of me in the profile pic.

Going anon, again. 
 Didn't work. Can you see mine? 
 Question: 
Do you think there's interest in software QA consulting on here? 🤔  Like, a testing bounty or something?

#asknostr 
 We both tend to work for lots of different projects, doing specialized tasks. There are a couple of people on here, like that. It doesn't really make sense for us to do it only for one project, as the quality of our work depends upon transfer of knowledge.
Some of us are also developers, but our primary contribution isn't product coding.

I will happily keep posting issues for clients I actively use or that our project has a stake in, but it's nothing as advanced or useful as what they'd get for paying me, and I only do it when I'm in the mood. And it would probably mostly stop, once I get a day job. 
 I actually quit my fiatjob, to get @GitCitadel off the ground, but it hums along nicely, now, and my household is starting to eat the seed corn, so I have to do something else for income.

There are actually a lot of remote requirements management, support, testing, etc. fiat positions open, but they all sound sort of boring. 😂 Was thinking about going back to logistics, instead. But then I'm really gone because then I'd be spending all day inspecting dangerous goods tanks at the port, or something. 
 You mentioned Niel. 
 😅  Nobody cares if anything works, anymore, amiright? 
 I was just thinking that having another Nostr dev testing your entire software in a reproducible and extendable way and giving you productive feedback is more valuable than just haphazardly receiving bug reports from end users.

But I don't know if anyone would agree enough that they'd pay money for it, or if they just want to stick with user-submitted issues. We can see that there isn't actually any direct financial incentive for Nostr devs, to ensure that their software works reliably well. It's a cost that they can't easily pass on, and more something that they would have to desire for its own sake.

For the record, I haven't yet formally tested any Nostr products. #Alexandria will be the first. 
 Ah, a parallel bounty.

 We have a few spots still available, if anyone else is interested. 😊

 I'm using naddr, so that we can credit the original author, without fixating on a particular version of their spec. Versioning would be done with the NUDs.

 Probably shouldn't be a list. 
 I use only smaller relays and look at global or at my favorites list, so I don't really need follows. That said, I'm using it as a moderation list for my relay, so that makes it useful to me, but I could use any list for that.

Thought about nuking my follow list, but then people lose my WoT data. People keep saying follower count doesn't matter, but getting a follow from me gets other npubs immediate visibility. I know what it's like to scrounge around for interaction for weeks or months, or get muted by The Wrong Person and fall into obscurity.

Being a newbie on here sucks. Hoping communities fixes that. Then your community membership could raise your WoT, by proving that some people there were willing to let you stick around.
