NTP is unencrypted by default. While MITMing it is kind of funny, it's not really something you should leave your machine open to

Tip: Start using NTS for NTP. Seriously, it only takes a few seconds to set up.

Honestly never understood the appeal of multi-column apps, especially when they're marketed to people with ADHD like myself. I have a tiling WM for a reason, I'll split my screen when I need to.
Making it the default is just a horrible idea, I'd be even more distracted than usual and I don't even want to think about the damage it would do to my attention span (which is somehow still higher than most non-ADHD kids my age- I blame TikTok and other ultra-short form content platforms, I've been avoiding those like the plague & consuming long-form content as much as possible)

We need to start breaking our reliance on their infrastructure. We can't do that with XMPP or Matrix. It'll be far more expensive, but it will be worth it. I'm still a broke college student with no job right now, but inshaAllah I will soon have the money to start dumping thousands upon thousands of dollars into this.

The analogy to email isn't strictly speaking accurate but I think you understand what I mean by it

2023-12-01 08:50:01

- reply

Entirely valid critique, and not one I really have a great answer to. The best we can do for now is to attempt to decentralize things as much as possible at a design/architecture level.
Nostr takes something good from Email in this sense- it is monopolized, but the fundamental openness of the protocol allows for competition to exist (Protonmail, Countermail, etc).
Ultimately I think we need to "re-negotiate" the "social contracts" that make up the way we use the internet. I don't know what that will look like, but I do know that we have decades of mistakes to look back on. I am an optimist at the end of the day, assuming the global order doesn't collapse too soon and cause us to regress early technologically (which I would not really be opposed to, honestly).

2023-12-01 03:17:19

https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/updating-our-inactive-account-policies/
Google's goal here is to wipe out inactive accounts and then begin implementing draconian "security" measures and identity requirements on all of their users. The direction is obvious, and the rest of the traditional internet dominated by big tech companies is moving in this direction as well.
The only way you can combat this is by joining platforms like Nostr, making the regulations that they will no doubt try to pass irrelevant.

The excerpts are mostly philosophical, focusing on modernity and secularism. I've pasted an example below
> Our consumerist mass-communication society has stopped systematically promulgating difficult commandments; it now functions outside the concept of duty, beyond any corrective moral obligation or discipline. Such is the post-moralist climate of the new democracies.
> These are the hallmarks of a society that no longer has ideals, a society composed of individuals without absolutes to aspire to. Post-moralist societies are societies without moral moorings, societies at the end of evolutionary progress overcoming all sense of morality in order to behave more and more like monkeys.

It's annoying IMO- not hard for the client to just add your pubkey to the authors filter in REQ messages, so following yourself is pointless.
Iris did it twice on my account, and attempting to unfollow from their UI doesn't work. Primal just filters out self-follows. I'd remove it by manually editing+republishing the event (nak is a great tool) but that's too much effort when I know it'll just keep happening whenever I open Iris

Been a Monero user for a few years; Muslim presence in these spaces is improving, but many who are involved in them aren't as public about it as myself. We're working on it as
@BTC/Zero said.
Our community is rebuilding on multiple fronts right now (political/intellectual/institutional), but we have the resources to make it work. We just need time to figure it all out. Crypto (alongside FOSS in general) is really only being focused on by smaller figures in the community but that will change in the coming years إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰهُ.
