Long live OSM! ✊


Beautiful.

Yesterday I was walking through the forest, a bit lost. I opened my phone (GrapheneOS powered) with OSMand and found my way.

Both are free and open source. Yes, the operating system and the navigation software. But so are maps. Imagine that someone went to the same forest, with a gps recorder and walked all the paths just to contribute to a free and open source database.

These days we have open weights AI, my mum is 3D printing something for a friend. It's an amazing world that was easy to imagine, but it was much harder to actually believe that this is how the world turns out.

Over from the bird by Eric S. Raymond:

You can just make things.

This is my massive white-pill about the revolution in small scale manufacturing that's going on right now.

The immediate trigger is a story I read about a guy who was annoyed that his wife needed a wheelchair, and the designs were all crappy and hideously expensive and made in China. So he booted up a small factory that now builds custom wheelchairs, delivering them for about $1,000 a pop, undercutting the Chinese by a factor of five.

The context, though is something that's been going on since the first mass market 3D printers in 2009. We've had more than a decade now in which many of the people who would have become part of the hacker culture I came up in back when software was the cutting edge have been learning how to use FDM printers, desktop CNC mills, laser cutters, EDM machines, and all kinds of physical fabrication techniques that you can set up in a garage or a basement.

The lesson has had time to sink in. If you're clever about it, you can hack matter the way we learned how to hack code - high speed, low drag, flexibly and playfully.

You can just make things. Without bimpty-bump millions of dollars of startup capital. With the new tech you can start small, turn a profit on boutique items, and scale up organically.

SpaceX is part of this story, using rapid iterations of custom designs made with 3D printing in sintered metal to continuously improve and simplify their rocket engines. So are Defense Distributed and the other semi-underground firearms-fabrication anarchists. So were the people who figured out how to garage-build respirators during the COVID panic. And now so is JerryRigEverything, the YouTuber who built a wheelchair factory.

The software revolution of a quarter century ago was fueled by Dennard scaling driving down the cost of compute power and wide area networking. Suddenly you could do things on a desktop that had taken raised floors and dedicated computer rooms just a few years before. Hackers grabbed these new possibilities and ran with them. I helped the movement understand itself.

I see something very like that happening again now. But instead of the demassification of software, we're seeing the demassification of manufacturing. The new hackers are being playful with atoms rather than bits. But the same spirit is there; I can feel it every time I wander into a makerspace.

These kids are not going to be stopped. There's too much fun to be had. Too many brains chasing every problem in sight. If my hacker culture didn't still exist it would make me all nostalgic to watch them.

But no. The old hacker culture and the new one flow together at the edges. The apprentice I'm teaching systems programming has a side-hustle printing models for mail-order customers. The kids put their part designs in public repositories; they didn't have to discover open source and distributed collaboration, they grew up absorbing both through their pores.

(Which has the accidental result that though I'm not leading things and writing manifestos this time, I'm one of their culture heroes anyway. That feels nice, I won't deny it.)

And you ain't seen nothing yet.

FDM and other small-scale fabrication technologies are attracting enough attention to improve at a torrid pace. There are obvious synergies with robotics and deep learning that haven't kicked in yet. Or, maybe they already have in somebody's garage, and we'll find out about it next week or next month.

It's a swarm attack, a disruption from below, and lots of conventional large-scale manufacturing outfits are going to suffer the fate of massified Chinese wheelchair factories - they just don't know it yet. They'll be undercut by cheaper, lighter, faster, smarter, custom, and localized.

Somewhere, Buckminster Fuller is whispering "ephemeralization" and smiling.

I've made the jump from Firefox to Brave with sadness like 2 or 3 years ago. I don't like to help the Chromium dominance,  I don't like the BAT token, nor the GUI, I don't even like the lion logo, but if I try to be objective, Brave provides the best browsing experience for almost any user. It blocks enough stuff by default while working without issues with most of the websites.

The first one surprised me a lot. Ridley Scott is a true craftsman. It looks incredible. If I have to be honest, the one I've enjoyed the most so far is the third one, which after knowing all the drama behind it, I was expecting it to be really bad.


I'm doing an Alien franchise watch, I only vaguely remembered watching the 4th one when I was a kid. So far I've crossed out the first three. Very interesting to see all different directors' take on the same theme, kinda like the first 4 Mission Impossible movies.

It doesn't surprise me that,

SimpleX is under attack by corrupt liar Wired:

"Neo-Nazis Are Fleeing Telegram for Encrypted App SimpleX Chat"
https://www.wired.com/story/neo-nazis-flee-telegram-encrypted-app-simplex/

What DOES surprise me is the reaction of developer Evgeny Poberezkin,

Here's the quote from the article:

<quote>
"And Poberezkin believes that the current limitations of his technology will mean these groups will eventually abandon SImpleX.

“SimpleX is a communication network, rather than a service or a platform, where users can host their own servers, like in Open Web, so we were not aware that extremists have been using it,” says Poberezkin. “We never designed groups to be usable for more than 50 users and we’ve been really surprised to see them growing to the current sizes despite limited usability and performance. We do not think it is technically possible to create a social network of a meaningful size in the SimpleX network.”"
</end quote>

This is surprising because Evgeny told us that groups could scale by reducing the reliance on a single invite link, so anyone could enter via any group member or "super members".

In fact, even from his own tweets, just 2 days prior:

<quote>
"We agree that once group can scale, they will help growth."
</quote>
Source: https://xcancel.com/SimpleXChat/status/1841561127320199583#m

This is the danger of doing cypherpunk stuff, with government money venture capital and registered LLCs.  At the slightest push from the mainstream media, he changes his tune.

I like Evgeny.  He's a good guy.  And I DON'T blame him for trying to stop his company from being associated with bad actors.  But we need to be honest here, he's trying to have his cake and eat it too.  He wants to be a cypherpunk, but collect the paycheck of a corporation.

What he should have said to Wired is: "This technology is like the printing press.  It improves our lives and offers all of this freedom.  But once it's made, the inventor can't control what people say.  Do you really want to live in a world without the press, Wired?"


I think it's more like Argentina. They have a very strong precedent (even if ages ago) of hyperinflation. But I think it's reinforced by their love of cash, and giving the government as little information profiling as possible. They've learned their lesson. I'm sure that's why there are so many #monero users AND nodes as well. Plus they have a very strong hacking community.

nostr has no global source of truth, and that is a good thing

Out of interest, I follow the progress of a lot of other projects similar to nostr, and a couple links surfaced today:

BlueSky has a big "firehose" connection that streams all updates (new posts, reactions, etc) to subscribers. Unsurprisingly, this is difficult to process except on beefy servers with lots of bandwidth. So, one proposed solution is to strip out all that pesky cryptography (signatures, merkle tree data, etc): https://jazco.dev/2024/09/24/jetstream/

And over on Farcaster, keeping their hubs in sync is too difficult, so they want to make all posts globally sequenced, like a blockchain. The details are still being worked out, but I think it's safe to assume there will be a privileged global sequencer who decides on this ordering (and possibly which posts are included at all): https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/193

In my opinion, both of these issues are symptoms of an underlying errant philosophy. These projects both want there to be a global source of truth: A single place you can go to guarantee you're seeing all the posts on a thread, from a particular user, etc. On BlueSky that is https://bluesky.app and on Farcaster that is https://warpcast.com .

Advocates of each of these projects of course would dispute this, pointing out that you could always self-host, or somehow avoid depending on their semi-official infrastructure, but the truth is that if you're not on bluesky.app or warpcast.com, you don't exist, and nobody cares that you don't exist.

nostr has eschewed the concept of global source of truth. You can't necessarily be sure you are seeing everything. Conversations may sometimes get fragmented, posts may disappear, and there may be the occasional bout of confusion and chaos. There is no official or semi-official nostr website, app, or relay, and this is a good thing. It means we are actually building a decentralised protocol, not just acting out decentralisation theatre, or pretending we'll get there eventually and that the ends justify the means.

Back when computers were primitive and professional data-centres didn't exist, it was impossible to build mega-apps like Twitter. Protocols had to be decentralised by default -- there was simply no other way. We can learn a lot by looking back to protocols of yesteryear, like Usenet and IRC, and still-popular protocols like email and HTTP. None of these assume global sources of truth, and they are stronger and better for it, as is nostr.

If you have never made pull request to a free open-source project you should make that your weeks challenge. Even something simple, like fixing some spelling in a readme doc. Don't be scared. There's a bunch of technical ways to make a pr, but the easiest is to edit a doc directly in github, it will make the pr for you. Just register on github, go to the page you want to edit and click the edit button 👍.
Even if your pr is rejected, you made a pr, well done, you are a modern human again, welcome to the revolution 🤝.


It looks like I finally got my NIP-05 solved, thanks to a nudge from  nostr:npub1jh4qu2g5e49syrwh293q8q90xeklvdx47pnj5vyca2tkljed08us0ctj6k. Are you seeing it ok?

It looks like government does not want to catch criminals, or pedophiles, or terrorists. It just wants to control free speech. Otherwise it would not go after non-encrypted, massive apps like Telegram where it's easy to harvest intelligence from. That only wakes up users to the existence of more hardcore options like Signal, SimpleX, Session, etc.

The other day I found an old vinyl record of Eno's + Frapp Evening Star and played subtly while the kids did homework. Slowly inception them into something that's not latin-trap-thing (nothing wrong with those jams but they surely need some variety into their music diet)

Stealing from his follows rn, there's art in #nostr it seems. I'll try to start sharing some of my own, love the small community vibes of this place.


Who doesn't love Bob Ross? He's the universal painter of love.


Any good artists and musicians to recommend?


Getting into the habit of opening #nostr daily. Guilty as charged, but if we want this to be adopted beyond our little bubble, we need to talk about something else than crypto.


Because the answer is "custodial". In the best case, wallet-of-satoshi custodial lightning, in the worst case tradfi custodial. It's a reality that the majority of people holding Bitcoin don't have medium-of-exchange as a priority.


They're all great alternatives for different use cases. If your area isn't that well covered in OSM you know what to do to help them be more useful. Think of yourself as a cartographer of old times, surveying places for the first time ever.

Such an awesome and important documentary - don't miss it!

https://v.nostr.build/HQjWWEveyrKLfb65.mp4

Herman Johan Xennt, the Dutch mastermind behind the infamous Cyberbunker, was convicted in 2013 for transforming a former NATO bunker in Germany into a secure data center that hosted sites on the dark web, as well as WikiLeaks and The Pirate Bay, and allegedly facilitated the spread of malware.

Xennt maintained his innocence, stating, "I'm the head operator of this whole thing but I'm not the real criminal here. The real criminals are the German state and this court."

Xennt argued that he was a champion of free speech and privacy rights, merely providing a service and not responsible for his clients' activities. The German authorities countered that he knowingly aided illegal online operations.

The debate surrounding Xennt's case raises questions about the boundaries of online freedom and the role of government in policing the internet.

Sentenced to 5 years and 9 months in prison, Xennt served his time before being released. Some view him as a criminal, while others see him as a victim of government overreach and a defender of free speech.

Upon his release, Xennt declared, "I have big plans, and I'm not finished yet," hinting that the battle between internet freedom and authorities is far from over.

I sincerely think it's good that they made a non-custodial #bitcoin wallet with strong UX. It should be an easy recommendation for newbies. If privacy of their users were their top concern they'd have accepted #monero as payment ages ago.


https://www.monero.how/why-monero-vs-bitcoin

Why might #Monero see greater future adoption than Bitcoin?
The most critical flaw in Bitcoin is its lack of privacy. If you give me your Bitcoin wallet address so that I can send you a payment, you immediately compromise your privacy. I can see as a matter of public record how much money you have in your Bitcoin wallet (there are messy workarounds to attempt to fix this problem, which we will address shortly). The same situation applies even if you are the one sending Bitcoin. Any recipient can then see how much money you have in your Bitcoin wallet, both now and in perpetuity. To understand how critical this privacy problem is, consider the following scenarios:

1. You are travelling through parts of a country with a medium to high violent crime rate. You need to use some of your Bitcoin to pay for something. If every person you transact with knows exactly how much money you have, this is a threat to your personal physical safety.

2. You are a business that receives a payment from a supplier. That supplier will be able to see how much money your business has, and therefore can guess at how price sensitive you are in future negotiations. They can see every single other payment you’ve ever received to that Bitcoin address, and therefore determine what other suppliers you are dealing with and how much you are paying those suppliers. They may be able to roughly determine how many customers you have and how much you charge your customers. This is commercially sensitive information that damages your negotiating position enough to cause you relative financial loss.

3. You are a private citizen paying for online goods and services. You are aware that it is common practice for companies to attempt to use ‘price discrimination’ algorithms to attempt to determine the highest prices they can offer future services to you at, and you would prefer they do not have the information advantage of knowing how much you spend and where you spend it.

4. You sell cupcakes and receive Bitcoin as payment. It turns out that someone who owned that Bitcoin before you was involved in criminal activity. Now you are worried that you have become a suspect in a criminal case, because the movement of funds to you is a matter of public record. You are also worried that certain Bitcoins that you thought you owned will be considered ‘tainted’ and that others will refuse to accept them as payment.

Monero solves these privacy issues by automatically applying privacy techniques to every single transaction made. You can have confidence that it is not possible to own ‘tainted’ Monero. This is a concept in economics known as ‘fungibility’ and is historically considered an important characteristic for any currency to have.

The Bitcoin community has attempted to solve these problems by introducing ‘mixing’ features. Their solutions have been described as ‘a band aid over a stab wound’.


Folks, don't get triggered by Protonmail. They were always in the business of not spying on you, not the business of not allowing anyone else to do so.

That would be a perfect use case, yes.


Really? I'll have to tell m2049r about it.


Good afternoon.

I published a new long-form article on Nostr on my homepage, to help inform people about all the cool things people are building here.

I'm going to go over it a few more times before I promote it on my other socials and email lists in the coming days (Nostr first!), so if anyone has any feedback, I can still potentially incorporate it.

Enjoy.

Using it right now.


The worldcoin onboarding keeps happening in Buenos Aires. This is at the Retiro train station, one of the biggest. Not even using tripods, very shady guys approach you and invite you to "scan your iris". They promise people to immediately buy back the tokens for instant pesos.

Not even touching the privacy concerns and the borderline insulting approach of applying protocols down here that are forbidden in countries with a stronger legal system. This is a scam for worldcoin investors.

There are probably a couple of guys with overseas exchanges accounts and crypto knowledge dumping the token constantly, getting usdt in the process, and paying poor argentineans shitty pesos (at a discount). This is ZERO adoption.
