Set up umbrella over the weekend. Going to try to host as much of my own relay, wallet, lightning as I can. Feels like I might be leaping down a rabbit hole 😆
In these uncertain times it’s nice to know that some things never change. Like General Tso chicken at the mall food court.
Tastes just like it did in college.
I wouldn’t say I’ve had a hard time finding my way. I’ve enjoyed the technical aspects of Nostr and setting up things using my own domains and servers, etc. But I am struggling a bit with content discovery, finding interesting conversations to participate in, and how to deal with trolls effectively.
This is such an interesting song. The hook and the harmonies really burrow into your ears and stick in your brain.

So when someone replies to your note with homophobic and racist slurs and you “mute” them, does that hide the post on your feed or is it just there for anyone else to see?
Trying out Nos.social app on TestFlight. It doesn’t do zaps but it’s very pretty. I like the simplicity and ease of use this one offers. I think it would be good if it onboarded a user with a set of relays turned on, but I get why it doesn’t. I’ll be interested to see how this app develops.
Very interesting. I have my @Alby wallet address set up in my various clients. On Primal I am now receiving zaps in that Alby wallet but can only send zaps with sats I have in my Primal wallet (i.e., purchased as a bundle through an IAP). This is a fascinating protocol across the board. I can definitely see the potential of the decentralization of social. It feels while like the early days of the World Wide Web.
I should probably clarify that my son is 9 months old. It definitely makes the story funnier. (And I don’t know for sure if I’m a Marxist. But I am pretty sure that unbridled capitalism ain’t it.)
Today, my son and his cousin were playing. When my son took away his cousin's toy, I said, "We need to share."
My wife pointed out that, as adults, we don't really ever share anything. We have our own cars, our own phones, etc. Realizing she was right, I instantly pivoted to teaching him the importance of private property.
"We have to respect private property rights, you know," I told him. "It's how capitalism works."
Then, I heard the bullshit coming out of my mouth and pivoted again.
"Of course, all private property is theft," I added. "And the proletariat must seize the means of production!"
He looked at me for a moment, then crawled over to yet another one of his million toys and happily ignored his weird pseudo-Marxist father.
I’m still exploring the Nostr universe (Nostrvrs?)
I wrote a post on Primal and I don’t see it on other clients (like Damus, where I’m writing this). Is this a relay thing? Will the post show up everywhere in time?
Oh interesting! Is Damus better?
I also noticed that I could only set up zaps on Primal with the built-in wallet, not my Alby wallet. Seems a bit walled off over there
I don’t think so. But I checked my profile in both places and it showed in one and not the other. I think adding a relay is the answer. I’m trying it now.
Ever wonder why so many great bands/songwriters come out of the UK? It’s what you get when you have a rich folk song tradition and nobody has to worry about healthcare.
