 Adding this to the to-read list:

A Canticle for Leibowitz is a post-apocalyptic social science fiction novel by American writer Walter M. Miller Jr., first published in 1959. Set in a Catholic monastery in the desert of the southwestern United States after a devastating nuclear war, the book spans thousands of years as civilization rebuilds itself.

 Everyone's read this except me lol. I've only just heard of it. Sounds right up my street tho

(found this quite confusing tbh lol) 
 Nostr forums could be called 'pads'.

As in note...pads.

 It's also UK slang for a home 🏠 
 Serial & Milk (2024)
Watched earlier. Thought this was pretty decent, a lot better than stuff in cinema/streaming and apparently made on a budget of $800.

 Well, 'premiere' at least lol 
 Guys, I have some doubts.

How do I create a community on Nostr? Which client do you advise?

Exp... 
 Nostrudel.ninja, coracle.social or satellite.earth however it does feel a bit like they need way more work. There are no proper fully functional forum or reddit -style clients 
 Flotilla seems like it'll be useful, still WIP tho

 What prayers, psalms, bible passages and/or hymns have you memorised? I'm thinking I would like to do some memorising. #asknostr #christian 
 could be a good one, might try some shorter ones first :)

(Sorry I always tag you two on things) 
 Thanks:) 
 The little I've actually memorised I have memorised from school which was just parroting. It's only many years later that I've thought a bit about the words.  
 Curious to see what you come up with, if you have time:) 
 This is great, thanks!

Curious about the prayers written by saints now too lol 👀 
 Holy Spirit Prayer of Saint Augustine,
Saint Augustine (354-430) created this poetic prayer to the Holy Spirit:

Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,
That I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,
To defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,
That I always may be holy. 
 (finding lots online, think I need a notebook, or a new npub for collecting prayers could be a good storage system too)

Let nothing disturb you, 
Let nothing frighten you, 
All things are passing away: 
God never changes. 
Patience obtains all things
Whoever has God lacks nothing; 
God alone suffices.

 

-- St. Teresa of Avila 
 The second link? That's quite a lot to memorise!  
 I have seen that site before. Never joined but looks very interesting. I would love to see a prayer npub. Please tag me if you make this.  
 Your arena page thing is great. I don't really understand it fully, afaik it's about making interconnections of ideas and scrapbooking. If only I could sign up with nostr lol.

 
 You could make a channel/ album on wavlake of you reading your favourite prayers :) like your video.

I don't have the voice for it. I sound like a dehydrated pickpocket. 
 I think npubs are so quick to make and jump about between (on amethyst) that it's quite nice to have one-theme npubs, a scrapbook npub. It can also be semi private just cos the chances are no one will see it. (If you wanted to have one that is just sorta just for personal use, obviously not with private stuff on it). 
 But I didn't really get the system on arena, it's like you have to have some sort of credits to post or something? Doesn't matter, I really don't need to be joining more sites lol 
 I have again the same issue with Amethyst, it doesn't work with Orbot. Do you have any suggestion... 
 Amethyst new releases have tor internally, but some sort of magic. In settings 
 believe so, internal, full privacy. no need for orbot. afaik 
 I actually quite like nostr tho 
 The data hoarders Reddit is actually one of the best subreddits out there. I'd like that gang on nostr 👀 
 Fao: #datahoarders

 Do you know what happened to lost prophets? Specifically the singer? 
 Do you know why? Just curious if people know why that is? And it's not just because it's old.

I thought it was common knowledge.

It's actually really gross. 
 Sure. I often wonder if people still listen to them, they seem to be fairly successfully memory-holed. I never actually listened tbh 
 But the crimes are absolutely horrific. A cancellation I really don't mind. 
 That's pretty long considering it's the UK. 
 The lost prophets story is so beyond anything, it's genuinely evil. Not to say other stuff isn't bad. But it really feels like something way beyond the pale. 
 I really don't recommend it. At all.

 Can't tell if archivedotorg files have also stopped working :( 
 Why I switched to nostr:

 You can usually tell from someone's introductions post whether they are going to stay or not. If the post contains any of the following, you can be pretty sure that that will be their first and last post:

'Really looking forward to...'
'freedom tech'
'my friend told me to join'
They're famous / have a significant following elsewhere 
 Conversely, you can usually tell someone is going to stay on nostr if their first posts contain:

Where are the shitposters/content/etc?

They complain about the people primal has made them follow.

They have a terrible ai generated bitcoin pfp


 
 Forgot to add:

- They're actually a girl

What else have I forgotten lol 
 See. My theory checks out. You didn't include anything listed lol:) 
 Hot the ground running. That goes on to the Signs someone is going to stay, list 
 Few and far between, sadly 
 That's because you are my cat  
 #asknostr I need more cheese? 
 Yes 
 It's actually quite telling if how boring bitcointwitter culture is that people choose to some degree of censorship rather than use a bitcointwitter clone. Lol 
 Uptober! 58kgang! Greg! 
 It's also disingenuous when people say it's because there's no algo. They are just evidencing that they have no interests outside of bitcointwitter chatroom -style posts. Lots of interest aren't here, and so they can't be found. Not all of us are bitcointwitter-only lol:) 
 Perhaps so, but it is still relatively active compared to any other subculture / circles. 
 Yeah that's pretty much what I mean lol 
 i remember this kind of thing from the early days of bitcoin, people have real difficulty coping ... 
 Had to look up cohost 👀is it over? 
 Hey Nostr when integration with Dogecoin? Asking for a friend  
 There's nothing stopping someone building this. There was a monero fork of Amethyst. I think it just hasn't reached/interested the doge people... Yet.

Not sure I think that would bring anything interesting to the timeline tho:( but would be sorta funny at least 
 What is nsecapp? Seems to be another extension. Won't let me login with Alby. 🤔 
 Hmm can't work it out, and lost interest tbh lol 
 Probably doesn't work anyway. I'll see if I can login next year lol 
 Ah, are there no publicly searchable communities? 
 Just wanted a look around mostly, but it seemed to annoying to log into  
 I'll probably just wait maybe :) 
 Nick Land claims the numogram 'appeared' and 'got deposited' to him and the CCRU whilst staying in Aleister Crowley's house. 👀 Lol

 I'm not sure lol. (The image is a meme joke version obvs). It's in the last hour-ish of the Nick Land interview I posted earlier. I think I would like to throw this out here to the bitcoincoder nerds lol for help. Some sort of decimal, alpha numeric Kabbalahblahblah thingums, lumerian time sorcery gnostic thingamajigs and deleuzian theory fiction as 'magic'. As far as I can tell lol. Let me grab the timestamp. It's like high-theory da Vinci code maybe lol
