Efforts at greater public wellness (digital commons among others) seems in alignment with Nostr. I'm a garden-variety web developer who has embarked on using this potential utility for shenanigan-free convivial public discourse. 🤙🏼

Honestly why do I care?
There are shared public common concerns, of which transportation is but one. (Clean water is another.) If the majority conclude that radically slower and lower energy livelihoods are the correct path to sustainable and ultimately better ways to live, I'm down. But Bitcoin has very little in common with that. Rather, it is predicated on very high speed, globally connected "roads".

Marx may not have envisioned what ownership and control of the means of production could look like in 2024. Pretty sure he didn't even OWN a lightning wallet. https://m.primal.net/IKqv.webp

How much technocracy do you really want controlling your life?
Would your benefits as a member of this elite class determine your answer?
Real questions. Real answers welcome.

Lmk if ya get that one dialed in.
And don't forget the gonad variables.
To get cornier sounding; is the game about f*cking, family-ing, or my personal favorite: friending? (drop-down 'intercourse menu'™️?)
'Positive outcome', you say?
How about the estimable unreasonableness of our hearts? I'll zap a bunch if'n you crack that algorithm!
Anyhow, good luck! And take some encouragement that it's been gamified going back about 3 billion years. Short of zaps at the moment, I offer working titles for a mere two stripes of this game (among the many that your franchise need address) 'Vagina Hunter' and 'Donkey Whisperer'. (the former isn't too predatory sounding for such a game is it?)

That's maybe a problem of technocracy. In itself it simply doesn't work out for the 'others'. Not sayin' I know what DOES work out – but gaining whatever clarity is available is probably part of the equation for not sh*tting our collective bed.

learning more of Strfry's Lightning Memory-Mapped Database (LMDB) [and its primary role as memory manager] renders the above question sorta naive ...

I've known of json. I've known of websockets.
However, I've only known of this clever decentralized way to connect to one another – without some arbitrary gatekeeper with moral concern that begins and ends with shareholder profit using whatever technique maximizes it. Putting it another way, I'm pretty stoked to find this coalescence of fellow humans interested in the liberation of a liberated digital commons. That's a lot of the l-word. Brings me to nostr's seeming affinity for bitcoin and by extension, possibly a libertarian political stance. I'm sure I'm not accurately summarizing all of nostr. What I'm saying is that I just don't happen to be a bitcoin guy (well, I did get zapped 24k times but it was a fluke [involving a dominatrix. let's just move on]). To be sure, my personal jury is still out on cryptocurrency, but I don't even know about stacking ducks or corn any of that. Still, I'm definitely interested in a community asserting its agency to make decisions in decidedly decentralized ways. Nor are the centralized clowns in any danger. Their racket thrives on energy. (And no, you miners out there, I don't claim to know the score of who squanders more energy than who.)
This is sort of a long-winded way to introduce a piece I made just over 10 years ago.
It speaks to my persuasion (in addition to a wisp of the zeitgeist of the time) about the myth of progress and such stuff. It comes up if you hear enough people emote "I just looove technology!" They need to read more probably. (and a fine tech in itself!)
In the subsequent 10 years, it's only become more difficult to posit some dogmatic worldview with a straight face.
Nonetheless, I've met thoughtful, kind people here and I'd feel remiss to not show a little of my cards regarding such stuff.
Oh! and ironically enough, I'm a web developer. I perhaps delude myself that we can use this stuff like a nice light bicycle that travels freely and with conviviality – and without someone's orange bullsh*t hanging on it, weighing it down. (I think that's an amazon reference but ...)
I hope you like it:

If Glen Greenwald isn't hip to Nostr, one hopes his friend Ed will turn him on to it.

Nostr DOES seem analogous to having access to quality bike parts AND fair access to the pathways. If its adoption leads to on-the-ground community wellness; that will be the proof-of-pudding.

would this address the issue?
import { fetchData } from './yourAsyncFile';
export function yourExportedFunction() {
// Call the asynchronous function and get a promise
const asyncOperation = fetchData();
// Use the then() method to handle the result when the promise is resolved
asyncOperation.then(result => {
console.log(result);
updatePage(result);
});
// Note: Code here will execute immediately and won't have access to the result.
// Make sure any logic dependent on the result is inside the then() block.
}
// Example function to update the page
function updatePage(result) {
// Update the page using the result of the asynchronous operation
console.log('Updating page with result:', result);
}

...was wondering about how hiking up sound files in Nostrland. nostr.build is apparently one way (and seemingly very akin to having say, an mp3, stashed anywhere on the internet. cool.

Can one just toss a 5mb mp3 into Nostrland?

This is a link to an audio pastiche of mine that came from some of the many experiences that are had upon social audio, in this instance, clubhouse. Alas, clubhouse has seemingly bet the farm on a sort of asynchronous-minded change up. No idea why, but one imagines considerable 'externalities' that accompany VC-backed ambitions etc. My personal stumble into Nostr comes from an excitement of non-siloed, decentralized goodness, meeting up with such social audio i.e. robust dialogs and the good fun and edification they can entail. (Shout out to Nostr Nests and the myriad of nice folks I've met there thus far!)🤙🏼

ps-obviously the next step would be how to hike MP3s etc. up to the promised Nostrland. Anyone with scoops regarding such liberated sound files etc.?

In addition to plain old Saturday, for me anyway, this week marks my initial participation in Nostr (for the uninitiated, Nostr is a way to participate in the Web in a decentralized [ i.e. not beholden to Sluggo-the-proprietary-corporation-that-can-just-disappear-you-at-will ] myriad of ways).
To be honest, I really don't share the bitcoin zeal of a lot of others that inhabit this space. Suffice to say ... er, well ... beyond a certain threshold of energy consumption, technical processes begin to dictate social relations. As esoteric as that may sound, I'll leave it at that. But really, this sort of cryptographic identity that shares a through-line of sorts with cryptocurrency is just that and nothing more.
I work with the webrtc protocol which affords really nice decentralized peer connectivity via browser-to-browser. (For my new Nostr-nerd friends here, if there isn't a slick little 'signal-server' implemented for Nostr, that would be a nice tool. (In webrtc, you need a way to identify the browsers you want to connect to ... audio, voice, and a data-channel ... by way of this signal server. I'd think that shifting some of the transport to a data-channel thusly would be sleek, even robust. If there is such a thing, don't hesitate to drop a line.
Okay. Techno-jazz out of the way, brings me to another impression from this initial survey of this fledgling and open-ended protocol. And that is a factor that I suspect will evolve for its obvious benefit. I'm calling it a breezy entry way to Nostr. Getting Aunt Sally on board is another way of putting it. To put it as rant-free as I can: All this supposed liberty and boost to a shared public utility to encourage and promote open public discourse – that Nostr could seemingly avail – is just another version of a technocrat's gleeful cheer of "neato!" until folks with shitty old android phones can use it as easily as said-Sluggo's onboarding.
In closing, aloha and mahalo (thanks) to my seemingly kind-hearted new Nostril friends. (that Haw'n reference may "dox" myself as to actually living in a particular place (living-context) on the Earth. I'll save that rap for a penchant for using this stuff within actual community (read: not 'community' predicated on "hey! we don't do proximity here" heh.https://m.primal.net/HUDY.jpg

Hi,
I followed you and came here to sort of belly ache about your client needing macOS beyond my 11.3.1 (and my typical trope of 'let us wrest these tools from techno-elites blah bla'). However, hearing your woes of water, and having been on catchment for about 25 years now ... well, there's Nostr ... and there's water. Me, I been through a fair amount of the permutations of harvesting rainwater (Hawai'i Island). Your persistent stanky water anecdote brings me back to the formative years of the homestead when, to my dismay, and after longer than I'd prefer; I realized that I was showering in water infused with essence of dead rat.
Dues paying!
Stanky rat-water anecdotes aside, and fwiw, having water that cycles robustly has been real important ... obviously catching it cleanly is super important. I should add that my homestead is in the rainforest ... so copious rain. (How many inches per year down your way?)
Mostly this is a note wishing your and your water well (anybody?). We have gnarly stories of leptospirosis and the rest, however, best I can tell, I, nor anyone else consuming my water has. In fact, over the years, when having to travel, it was always a drag to have to leave my super clean water behind. Even now, living on the kona-side of this island, I haul water from my homestead as it is unmatched. Again fwiw, I run two tanks, so the second one gets filled by the first off the gutter, which 'cleans' it ala, well in a way not unlike how some pool filters sort of work. I have a little sediment filter. (caveat: don't use my techniques dear readers. use UV filters and ... masks if need be!) Nah. And then, at the end, I run a 1/2 carbon 1/2 calcite filter to harden the water a bit. (Then I can caffeinate with fine taste. But, by all means I rescind my OS-kvetching until your water clears up. ...then if there's a crustier version of Gossip that plays nice with OS 11 ...?) Aloha.
