 apparently my bitcoind leveldb corrupted *yet again* so I have to redownload the entire blockchain from scratch. ffs. leveldb is terrible. 
 I have it on a brand new 1tb ssd and it still fucked up. 
 no im not retarded 
 really man? I have had this happen on many different drives, 20+ times the past couple years. this never used to happen. 
 god no 
 maybe I need to start zfs snapshotting so I can at least rollback to fix leveldb corruption 
 usually I can just chainstate reindex but this is the first time I've had to do a full redownload... sigh. 
 must be the sophons 
 I know... I hit 

LevelDB read failure: Corruption: block checksum mismatch: /titan/bitcoin/chainstate/612920.ldb

during reindex, so I have to start over 
 I have talked to so many people and it happens way more often than core devs want to admit. its easy to blame hardware issues but I never seem to have any issues anywhere else. 
 the only thing I can think of is some ACID issue with leveldb, maybe with its configuration. not sure if it has been smoke tested. 
 It had had many consensus related issues, im good 
 Pis are terrible nodes, good luck 
 New damus video player that @danieldaquino is working on is so good 🤤 no more jankyness 
 Feature i would like to see in mobile operating systems:

 A way to make your current timezone available to people messaging you so they can see on screen what time it is for you no matter what app you’re using. 
 I could at least add this to damus 🤔 why isn’t this a thing in any messaging app. 
 would be a voluntary thing of course

 if u say so boss 
 no 
 I’ve designed my nixos desktop and desktop software to not need a mouse, but when I do its nice that i don’t have to leave the homerow. Taking my hands off the keyboard is a huge context switch. 
 yeah its decent. I’ve always used xmonad though and have customized it heavily 
 Its been my main driver on my desktop and servers since 2016. Never going back

 what would you say is needed to develop on nostr?

 not yet, I don’t like how they are currently implemented 
 It’s never been easier to create game assets. Just create an image with midjourney/flux, and then animate it with kling. This would be great for card games. 
 probably 
 Its not too expensive

 don’t. they will just lose it 
 I would love a feature where I could listen to all of the music people are currently listening to from people I follow. We have the track title via music statuses, just not sure how I would get access to the audio streams. Maybe via tidal somehow? @jack #musicstr 

Instagram has this feature: music statuses. Even clips of the audio would be fine. 
 This could be big for music discoverability via the wider nostrverse, and could pull more people into tidal or any other platform that makes it easy to provide music clips. 
 The problem is the same, access to clips from a massive music catalog. 
 That would work too I guess. 
 Usually platforms don’t make this easy to access because they need play attribution for paying artists. This is why it would have to be clip based like how instagram does it. I’m not sure what music catalog they are tapping into. Maybe custom deal with spotify? 
 #asknostr what are some dvms I can try out? 
 the dn dvm is cool 
 @SeleneJin has been doing tons of work here. She showed me the models she has been training and generating from, it was impressive. I’m down the lora training rabbithole now.

 I think it’s SDXL lora + kling. She tells me kling is the best at this time from all the experiments shes done.

 yes sounds like affinity scam bs 
 This might be a dumb question since I haven't been following NIPs lately, but wouldn't it be cool... 
 Just more burden for interop between all kind1 clients, every new thing makes it harder to build a feature complete microblogging client. 

In this case it doesn’t really break anything by not implementing it so it’s not too bad.

To do it properly would require a decent amount of UI work. I would want the ability to show that it was edited and show the original version.

I’m not philosophically against it. it is one of the most requested features next to deletion. Entire groups of people have left once they discovered there was no delete or edit, so may have to do it eventually. 
 Hey, this is Tadge.  First post on nostr.  Using "gossip" desktop client. Not sure if this works,...
