Does anyone know of relays that only deliver posts that have some sort of traction? I'm gonna try my hand at a client and I want a default firehose feed that's somewhat clean from spam.

>You're offering Straw Man arguments, which is part of the very odd and delusional mentality of people who are breathless Nostr enthusiasts.
Correct me if I'm misunderstanding your point. I wouldn't call myself a "nostr enthusiast". I just use it and plan on building something with it because I see it as the most likely to work going forward.
>"My" solution is not to use "burner accounts" it is to create an environment where people are free to offer services efficiently (server farms etc) and not to run from the problem by building things like Noster, that even if it worked, would not address and fix the persistent problem which is the power to detain people arbitrarily, the same way Durov has been detained.
What would that environment look like? I imagine it would involve either major political shifts or a protocol that can link together all the service providers and make them hot swappable from a user perspective.
>Having a normie CEO is very much sustainable and has been the norm for most of the history of the services on the Internets, and your "money pit" argument is just economic illiteracy. YouTube is profitable, in case you didn't know, and LiveLeak persisted for years before being sold.
YouTube was the main video platform for over a decade before it turned a profit. It only survived because it was bought by Google and they could afford to lose money on it for a long time. Look at all the alternates youtubers keep trying to build like Nebula and floatplane. They can't reach the efficiency of YouTube and they only exist because they charge money. Look up the costs of streaming video because it's the most expensive thing you can possibly offer for free on the internet.
>And the argument, "They're just going to stop it anyway" is the exact argument people use against new ideas, even PGP, "The government can get into anything, it cannot possibly be secure". Thankfully the people who know how things actually work are also the people taking the action to do things. That includes Nostr by the way, which may end up solving problems for some people, whilst leaving the problem of the violent thugs untouched.
This is where you misunderstand what I'm saying and I would appreciate if you understand. I'm not saying to be a defeatist about freedom, I'm saying we need something that has the capability of winning. It's great that there's lots of people providing services that increase freedom, but unless they are linked together, they don't create lasting progress past their own lifespan. If the rumble CEO burns through $1 billion hosting rumble for a decade and creates the most free and open platform in the process, increasing freedom for millions, that won't translate into much except a freedom culture when it finally goes away. The reason we need a protocol is that you can still have the same situation, but at the end you don't lose much progress. We are seeing it right now.
Nostr relays are a money pit. They are selfless ventures that cost money to maintain. The difference is that even when all the free relays existing now shut down, people can start hosting their own notes, or pay a few pennies for a paid relay. Then all their followers and audience that they built up can keep watching/reading their content from the same app without a hitch. It carries the progress created by those relay operators into the future, even if they go broke or go to prison.
>"Rumble is still small" is yet another fallacious objection. People react like this with nonsense when you "attack" their pet hobby, in this case Nostr. They put up stupid arguments, fallacies and gibberish trying to score points and "Gotchas". It's really very silly and tiresome.
I have nothing against rumble. I use it and love their mission. I say they are small as a matter of fact. You can afford to sustain a small money pit. You can't do the same if it becomes YouTube.
I think a so far implicit assertion I've been making might be our main point of disagreement.
1. I don't believe any freedom tech will be able to sustain itself with ads, especially if it involves streaming video.
2. Anything that costs money to consume content will never go mainstream and actually move the broader narrative. This is because you won't pay for something unless you already agree with it.
If you disagree with either of those, please reply to them instead of anything else as everything else is a waste of time.
>Once again thankfully there are many people working on this problem and as it was in the case of GPG, Bitcoin and GNU, it only takes a tiny handful of dedicated people to solve these big problems once and for all, and no one is persuaded by anon fallacies.
I agree, all of those are technologies that are invented once and used going forward, building on the previous. PGP won't dissapear if they imprison the founder. Those are either technologies or protocols, not services. Rumble/telegram is more akin to Adam Back's Ecash. It was an amazing service that allowed anon payments over the internet, but it relied on a custodian bank and the government shut it down. We see the tech behind it used in some btc projects but the service died with the custodians. It didn't create any lasting change except the friends it inspired along the way (satoshi for example).

No one has a right to be served educational content in a YouTube feed without searching. It's not unethical for him to make his own content harder to access.
Your 2 solutions is to make burner channels on YouTube, and to use rumble.
If you keep making new YouTube channels as your banned, that's no better than nostr. You will never be able to grow too much before they find you again and re ban you. It's a permanent treadmill, and you need to keep a local archive of your content anyways which is what you said was too difficult.
If you use rumble, you are still losing all the normie-discoverability of YouTube and not gaining much for it. Having a benevolent owner is not sustainable. He might have the money to sustain it now, but it's a money pit and at some point he's gonna have to stop burning money. If it ever grows to be relevant, it's gonna be stopped by either its corporate dependencies (AWS/cloudflare like with Parlor) or the government like is happening with the Telegram founder.
Rumble might be 10x bigger than nostr but it's still tiny and will be shot down before it grows, even if the owner keeps it going. You need a system that doesn't lose momentum when it's dependencies are shot down. That's what nostr is focused on. Expecting a benevolent CEO to host your content forever for free is just naive.

So they had bad documentation that didn't reflect how the code worked, and they fixed the documentation.

I think a compromise would be to delete notes that receive no interaction or have a 30 day delete timer that resets every time the note receives interaction. I'm not a node operator but I'd bet 90% of their data is notes no one ever sees again.

I know you can do it by just removing the polarizer and putting it on your glasses like this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ_pkWzy0_o
But it should definitely be possible to just replace your screen with a non standard filter that requires the right glasses filter to see so its even more obscure.
Now the real prize would be if theres a way to make it so sensitive or multi layered so that it's not feasible to brute force the encoding. I don't see much of a market for this tho. Anyone this worried about physical privacy should be worried about digital instead.

Do you mean something like just encrypting the badge with the receivers public key so only they can see it?
For example, if A wants to give a badge to B who wants to show it to C, A broadcasts a badge note that is encrypted to B's pub key. B can then unencrypt it and re-encrypt it to C's pub key and broadcast that so only C can read that note.

My proposal to how the UK can solve the Israel problem:
Make a second Balfour declaration to create another Jewish state on the Falkland Islands.
I believe creating a second Jewish state would do a lot to destroy the narrative pushed by Israel that they use to justify their actions, and that the Falklands are the perfect piece of land to do this.
What would this achieve?
1. Israel currently has a monopoly on the Jewish ethnostate market. They use this to claim they represent Jews as a whole. This would not be possible if there was another Jewish state.
2. Many Jews in Israel like the "Jewish State" part but not the "Living in a warzone" part of Israel. This could cause a sizable population drain on Israel as many Jews relocate.
3. Competition brings innovation. The 2 Jewish states would have to actually provide for their population. With a lot of Jewish people torn between the 2, you could see them competing on tax rates, passports, rights etc. to attract the Jewish people.
4. Many jews reject the State of Israel outright because they reject the creation of a Jewish state in the holy land on religious grounds. These include Hasidic and some other Orthodox sects. They would not have such an objection to a homeland in the Falklands.
But why the Falklands?
1. It's actually much bigger than you'd expect. It has over half as much land as Israel and much more in territorial waters
2. Almost completely uninhabited. The islands have a total population of 3,662. It wouldn't take any forceful relocation to make it a Jewish state. You could give all of them a million dollars to relocate for less than a 10th of the US aid given to Israel.
3. Genuinely politically workable. The Falklands are under British control but it's contested by Argentina. Currently in Argentina, Milei is gesturing towards taking back the Falklands to appease the nationalist right, while having no interest in actually fighting for it. Argentina has a large Jewish population at 170k, and Milei is seemingly one of them with his weirdly fetishistic support of Israel. If the UK Balfours the Falklands, Milei could absolutely spin that as a win, saying it's now a homeland for 170k Argentinian Jews, and no longer under the rule of the British.
4. Argentina was one of the original locations considered for a Jewish state before they decided on Palestine. The Zionist movement is entirely a nationalistic project rather than a religious one and basing it out of Palestine was not a given.
5. It has no natural resources to speak of, so neither uk nor Argentina is giving up a whole lot.
6. No where for them to invade, if they are an island in the ocean with no small countries around.

It's amusing how bad Arabs are at lying and deception. Most of them could not sell you a lie to save their life. It's equally amusing how bad westerners are at detecting lies and dishonesty. Seeing an Arab try to BS his way around another Arab just results in second hand embarrassment bc he is just making a fool out of himself.

Well the problem with that is that as soon as any of them go out, it's a race to cash out before they run out. Alternatively they could instantly rebalance and devalue your ecash but I don't know how that's better. It's still a net negative because you're taking risk with no upside so no one will keep money in it longer than they need to, which then loses most of the privacy benefits.

NIP idea:
A preview request that's like a normal request but instead of sending you everything you asked for right away, the relay responds with a hash of all the events it's bout to send you.
This way you can add all the relays you want but it only downloads posts from relays with unique hashes.
Now the problem with this would be that in a world where your average relay doesn't store the entirety of nostr, you might still have tens of relays responding with different hashes when they have much of the same notes but a few differences.
To solve that we could have a request type that will ask for just a list of the signatures of each event.
You could use the first to filter out relays with no unique posts, then the second to requests posts individually so you never download anything more than once.
The second proposal would also facilitate premium relays where apps could request notes from them like anywhere else, but only pay them if there isn't any free relay hosting the same note.

States should be far more cognizant of what they spend money on. There's this misconception that the cost of any government program is split between taxpayers and inflation alone without any effect on the private sector, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
Everyone who is employed directly or indirectly by government spending is not employed by the private sector.
The US has a massive military industrial complex which employs most of the best engineers that grow there. You can not participate in any robotics or engineering extracurricular program that isn't sponsored and plastered with MIC companies all over it. So much of the engineering talent is sucked up by the military contractors, that the private sector can not compete with the rest of the world.
It's not a coincidence that the US, between 3 massive auto conglomerates can't make a car that lasts over 200k miles while Germany and Japan, who were both forcibly demilitarized post WW2, have the most over-engineered and reliable cars in the world.
This applies to all fields. Despite having the greatest nuclear scientists that invented the atom bomb and built the 2 greatest nuclear arsenals, both Russia and the US are very far behind in nuclear energy and both suffered terrible meltdowns, and are outclassed in that regard by France.

I'd say it's more than branding with mullvad. Their actual onboarding is made completely frictionless and unidentifiable. They could run all of the same branding and still have a email login and no one would disqualify them for it, yet they go out of their way to not collect emails and also have crypto payments as an option to bypass the payment rails.
The way I see it, fundamentally the differentiator between vpns is mainly trust that they won't compromise your data, and I haven't seen any that I believe more than mullvad though I am open to suggestions. It also helps that it just works flawlessly as well. I can set it to cycle between various US locations and it's genuinely a better experience than not having a VPN on even while switching servers all the time.

Also it's easy to talk shit for using Gmail but they probably don't have much of a choice when half their customers will also use Gmail anyways and their self hosted emails will fall in their spam. Otherwise it's trivial to use a different provider and not much harder to self host.

"If you check the servers, they use many of the same 3rd party providers. Mullvad, IVPN, and TorGuard all use M247 for New York and Los Angeles. So if you connected to LA Mullvad, then switch to LA IVPN, thinking you’re getting a “new identity” you’re not. It’s NSA passive surveillance on the size of data packets going in and out of places like M247 that reveal you, and NOT Mullvad backstabbing you."
Wouldn't this actually be positive in terms of privacy by hiding in a larger dataset? While just mullvad traffic can be small for a specific server, if its mixed with IVPN etc. users, that's a larger dataset on the network layer. I would still rather they own their own servers but short of that, it's probably better they use the same provider.

Your 5x daily prayers is your main duty on this earth. Only as long as you fulfill your obligations to Allah, can you worry about your worldly troubles.
Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The two Rak'ah before the dawn (Fajr) prayer are better than this world and all it contains." [Riyad as-Salihin 1102]
This is an obvious deduction if you truly believe in the hereafter, yet is so far from what our actions demonstrate. What do you possibly stand to gain from your job that is worth more than everything in this world? If someone said they were risking getting fired from their 6 figure job because they were trying to simultaneously deliver GrubHub, your would call that stupid. But if you are risking the afterlife because you are too embarrassed to speak to your boss about praying, how are you any better? There is nothing any employer can offer you that will make it worth missing a single prayer, and you probably don't have to anyways.
“And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty).” [At-Talaq 65:2]
Put the important matters first, and the rest will sort itself out. If you try to optimize for the world, you will get neither.
