Every time money is used as a medium of law enforcement, it becomes even less of a medium of exchange.
Every time a social media platform is used as a medium of censorship or influence by its governors, the less it becomes a social media platform — it mutates into a propaganda machine, where the flavor of propaganda reflects the current governors.

2024-11-14 17:00:47

When platforms are harnessed by their creators for personal motivations, whether good or evil, whether for one political party or another, it impacts everyone.
The digital world of social media platforms needed training wheels to start: companies leading them. It wasn’t as autonomous. That’ll change soon, just like it did for money with bitcoin. #Nostr #note1edw…3h3l

Loop quantum gravity breaks one of Einstein’s most important rules: the spacetime fabric must be continuous.
Loop quantum gravity is discrete, but quantum physics itself is discrete too — hence its incompatibility with spacetime.
We’ll see if Einstein was right about the continous nature of spacetime, or if discrete theories like LQG win out… but I’m betting on Einstein. 😎🍻

It’s already working well, but we need to finish the rest of the GitHub app and review some of the DHT code again. I’m impressed with the grit of our team.
Let’s see how long it takes them. All I know is… 2025 will be the accumulation of all the work from the past two years, finally coming to fruition.

2024-11-01 14:10:48

DHT will come to Nostr. We don’t need pubky or web5. It’s already done.
Just wait and see. 🌱

What you’re complaining about is literally its biggest feature…
libp2p gives you the option to select almost any transport and handshake from a config. It’s modular and flexible. Once it’s setup, you have a world of options at your fingertips. 🌎

2024-10-30 18:50:14

- reply

Throwing IPFS and libp2p in the same basket is a mistake I think. I was hesitant too, but it’s quite developed. Libp2p documentation is decent, especially with AI to help. Try this link, it helped us at the start. https://proto.school/introduction-to-libp2p/
We don’t use a lot of the things in libp2p, but having multiplexing & QUIC with no certificate authorities is quite nice. I think it’s wise to pick out the pieces that work and leave the junk behind.

Once HDK is ready it’ll be a lot easier for you to use it without as much manual setup. It offers noise as well! https://github.com/HORNET-Storage/HDK-Nostr-Go

Libp2p helps a ton. We’ll be releasing a dev kit soon like NDK that makes it easier for developers to utilize it for nostr.

Ugh beware instagram science. Thought I had this mixed up but posted it anyway.
To clarify, mercury’s precession can be viewed during normal times.
But the bending of light was much easier to see during a solar eclipse because it blocked all the other light from the sun… Einstein predicted (secondarily to mercury’s precession) that light would bend if traveling past a planet with a lot of gravity (space curvature around it), since spacetime is the “road” light travels on.

We are indeed fetching a bunch of resources from the same server across different streams.
Libp2p allows us to use multiplexing so we can open as many bi-directional streams as we want over a single connection, it's awesome. We use it for Airlock (permission system for the decentralized GitHub).
I understand your point about the OS handling TCP instead of each app handling networking individually, which does make a lot of sense. I wish there were a plug-and-play TCP+TPO+Noise library that could handle multiplexing! Would be a nice addition to include in libp2p.

True, it’s not any more compatible if browsers don’t adopt it — perhaps just easier to implement?
I imagine it will be easier for new app developers to integrate basic TLS with key support than setup noise or libp2p (so their apps connect to @npub1h0r…fv0g nostr relays).
Still going to offer libp2p QUIC support for apps that want to go the extra mile (TLS is built-in without CAs).

2024-10-17 22:16:01

Yeah we were rocking libp2p but compatibility issues are real.
This TLS with key support will be nice for websockets transport. 😎

I’m currently revising it. I think I was on the right track conceptually but not mathematically, once again… I didn’t create a truly unified field equation — which is the foundation that all four forces must sprout from. 🌱 Maybe one day it’ll unfold… 🏵️

Skill is the precursor to luck. 🍀 it’s always a mutual relationship, never pure luck or pure skill.
The universe can’t give you a hand if you don’t reach out first, through toiling and iterating. If you seek passionately and sincerely, it may meet you half-way. 🙏
Luck is when years of preparation meet serendipity. It isn’t just pure serendipity, nothing ever is. Your actions & current state trigger something in the environment that unveil the surprises of life.
It’s always a dance, between you and the elements in your environment. Cyberspace has created a bridge between our local environments, connecting us from afar, scaling the chances of serendipity.
And now with AI, you can pursue curiosity all day — question after question, in the comfort of your own privacy. The set of tools are here, it’s in your hands now. ⚙️

Become addicted to curiosity, rather than always trying to force yourself to be “low ego” like a hippie. Trying to be “low ego” is admirable, but it can create ego traps.
OTOH, curiosity inherently suppresses the ego, albeit temporary, by means of seeking out what you don’t know… it’s more reliable and part of our human nature.
Confidence was needed to survive in nature, but seeking new information was too — now we can make these two evolutionary traits compete.
Become curious and your desire to discover will overpower your pride.

Alex can’t get it through his head that spam was inevitable. Now he’s celebrating about reporting the spammer to authorities?… 🤦‍♂️
We’ve been crafting a standardized way to pay relays for new users to gain more visibility until they are “in” more peoples’ WoT network, along with toggleable tier-based WoT functionality within the @npub1h0r…fv0g relay that operators can adjust from a dashboard GUI, because we knew attacks like this were always going to be possible.
Between Alex’s vulgar harassment of the spammer to his suggestion of social credit scores & siloed Ditto relays that lack data portability, it’s clear to me he’s far worse for nostr than mere spam. Principles shape the eco-system, not short-term tantrums and premature declarations of victory from weak cat & mouse strategies.
