yeah, but the soil doesn't help, it does make people more relaxed and lower energy
which means they are easier to herd around and dominate by the ruling class
so you see culture of passivity is only partly acquired through social interaction, it's also partly based on a biochemical situation, and because people are so passive, when there's something that needs to be fought against, people impede and shrug their shoulders and "she'll be right mate"

doing a ECDH derivation seems like a low hanging fruit for native code inside extensions though, has anyone considered this? or even pushing out the entire thing to native code?
why is it, anyway, that javascript engines still don't have a native sha256 hash function? or an AES (rijndael) hash function? this seems like a really simple problem yet because they still treat browsers as dumb presentation engines while constantly overloading it with GUI logic nobody bothered to provide a fast path for this

yeah, i get the odd ding with my joints and lately a chronic problem with ringworm but avoiding wheat stops the dermatitis herpeteformis, which turns out as i learned recently to be a strong indicator that i have celiac (which i think is actually an autoimmune disease caused by DPT vaccines)
i can say that mine has got a lot better but like you say, have to avoid all grains, minimise sugars and avoid modified starches and artificial sweeteners are super toxic for the kidneys, it helps to add potassium (i just add potassium chloride to my sea salt) and i went through about a month of taking about half a teaspoon of both unrefined sea salt and potassium chloride at least a "espresso shot teaspoon" of each, which is about half a teaspoon actually
you also have to obsessively drink more water, because part of the problem is that the kidneys are not working well, and the toxic shit in the blood continues to damage it so diluting it helps it eliminate
and what else hmmm
i am pretty sure peripheral neuropathy is largely caused by a specific, common but not common in "WASP" genetics (ie english/german/french/spanish/nordic) adaptation to chronic high blood sugar which is to polymerise the glucose into amylose, the same stuff associated with alzheimers, it's a hydrophobic starch polymer and i believe what it does is interfere with the mobility of neurotransmitters through synapses, causing them to overload the receiving side when the neurotransmitters manage to get through the blockage caused by the amylose
for which reason i also am curious to research more and experiment with ways to increase the amount of amylase in the blood, i tried Yohimbe which i think helped a bit... and i'm pretty sure that there is stuff in cannabis that alters sugar metabolism and insulin, and i also can say that the red colors in red fruits, grapes, berries, etc, i think they also help reduce the problem, which suggests that it's an excessive oxidation problem, which fits with the sugar stuff
i can also say that i finally managed to do a full 4 day fast once a few months back and i went into full ketosis which was kinda scary but that seemed to dramatically improve my condition almost overnight

it's been bugging me for maybe a few weeks now that it seems like there is some kind of thing causing jankiness in my favourite crappy pixel art style game, Kingdom Two Crowns
well, it turns out that if i run Wayland it's smooth as butter, 120fps if the monitor is set that way, what you would expect for a low res game that weighs in under 3gb of total download
i have a licensed copy of Synergy now, which i probably won't use again for some time, but i have it... i hope they are close to making it work with wayland because i feel like this confirms that the 15 year long transition from X to Wayland has started to reach a point where it's better to use Wayland

the URL itself gives me a 404 so idk how you are seeing anything... your client must have cached it

2024-11-17 14:14:39

- reply

no, the database
when you build any kind of data storage system you have to deal with limitations, let's say you rent a VPS with a 25Gb disk, and that gives you about 18gb of free space to store your relay's events
so, now, with #realy - you can set your maximum database size at 18gb and depending on how fast it adds new events, set your high and low water marks to trigger purging of events that nobody has looked at in the longest time
reduces the cognitive burden of managing a relay, and also lets you optimize the cost of running one

2024-11-17 13:40:34

#realy now has a tested working garbage collector functionality, previously it was scratched in from previous work but i wrote a revised tester that fits in with the new schema of everything in realy
it is the afternoon and i have a little work to do now to update an Internet Computer #layer2 eventstore implementation, that allows relay operators who somehow like ICP to run a relay that uses a sharded blockchain database to store events
it is of course of interest to said shitcoiners, and good for them, and you know what i mean when i say good for you
my life would be misery without my bad jokes so also, good for you, directly
but it's also nice for people who want to run a plain and simple realy instance, now you can contain the event storage with typical low/high water mark cache management options and your specified gigabyteage with just one little .env file
and did i mention that it's also got the fastest JSON encoder and event store database out there?
some day in the future, when i have more time on my hands, i will build a test rig that lets me really see realy head to head with #strfry and i'm almost certain that realy is not gonna be far behind it, and probably, on a parity hardware basis, better

i just realised something
litmus is a chemistry pH test that is either red or blue, and iirc, it's originally derived from that funny flower with the big globular clusters, i forget the name of it, but when the soil is alkaline, it makes blue flowers, and when it is acidic, it makes red flowers
someone made a first post on bluesky and used the word litmust test and it made me think of politics because supposedly Team Red had all the opinions it expressed. Not THE red as in communist, but red as in republican
and i realised that the color scheme of the two party farce of USA precisely matches the chemical properties of what a litmus test will show as red or blue
blue means alkaline, and alkaline, in extreme, is caustic... alkali dissolves proteins, alkali converts fats into soap
acids, on the other hand, tend to make things agglomerate. the basis of cheese is literally adding an acid to milk, and it causes the protein to stick together, and form curds, and the curds are what you make into cheese... mostly a glob of fats and protein
the number of analogies you can draw from this pattern are quite incredible, but it all starts with water, and whether it has an excess electron, which causes the formation of gaseous hydrogen and leaves behind an electron on the OH giving you an alkali
i could talk about how blue light also has more energy and is more likely to cause oxidation as well, to add to the caustic association of blue
really, blue is a perfect color to describe statists - they erode the environment, they are toxic to life, and promote oxidation and burning...
i already elaborated in too many ways lol.

the word "capricious" generally is used as a slur, about someone who is prone to changing their mind or being stubbornly independent
goats are far more compliant than cats, and almost every animal that is not "domesticated" is even less compliant
so really, capricious doesn't really mean completely antisocial, it just means more social than cats

the real reason why #nostr #adoption is slow is because in order to enjoy nostr, for the most part, you have to be an active participant
that means nostr inherently has DAU numbers at 10% of typical (if you can believe the self reported numbers) daily user activity
the rest of the social networks wish they were as engaged per user as we are here... i'd say here there is about half the typical lurker count, because of all the bumps and scratches you have to get to be part of this community
it also makes us a lot more intransigent, nostr adoption has lindy, unlike most silo social networks... the longer you are here the less you want to be anywhere else, and the same goes for the people who follow and interact with you...
authenticity is a metric that is hard to quantify except by the stubbornness of the active users to leave the longer they are here and the lack of appeal of the TV channels called X, Threads, Bluesky, Fartcaster, Farcebook, and the rest

haha just considering whether to omit the last access timestamp or not and discovered the sorter was only sorting by event serial (which is basically the sequence of insertion into the database, not the last access time lol)
o dear
well, fixed now lol

2024-11-17 12:23:04

so, i think the GC is working, i just forgot that the tester i made is constantly querying to refresh the last acces times on #realy

oof, kinda didn't really think about how much work would be involved in actually implementing this garbage collection stuff lol
been bashing at it for about 5 hours now and it doesn't seem to be actually pruning events as i want it to, though it *says* it is, when the GC counts the data it's not finding pruned events... but this is code that has just been transplanted from an old version with lots of old things probably still in it
gonna go nap, waking up at 2am in the morning and working until 8am i've practically done a day's work and the sun hasn't popped over the mountain's edge yet lol

2024-11-17 05:40:50

- reply

ah yes, and i forgot... if the events that are found, while the query still has a standing subscription (ie, the limit was not reached, or the query was not CLOSEed) the client will receive the later-found events from the L2's background sync query... very often this will happen, and this will mean the Layer1 relay-cache is still delivering the data of the big shared event store in the same essential timeline as if the query results were always returned hot, except the order of the revived events won't be necessarily older than the ones that L1 already found...
it works, anyway. subscription model makes it workable, ultimately the concurrent channel-return model makes assumptions about time that don't need to hold for the pub/sub model... the clients don't really understand it, they just get pushed events tied to a filter that has a subscription id, they don't see the work or care about anything else, it is a channel model for the client anyway

2024-11-17 05:32:17

- reply

yeah, simple... just have to make the assumption thet L1 has the index and stub of all events it might find in the L2... probably have to think later about how to deal with one-hit wonders causing lag in client requests but it is a one thing... if a pruned event is fetched, then the user has to wait a little longer for the L2 to retrieve it
on the other hand, this also means that i could make an IPFS or Blossom event store cluster store for events as well, since i'm now only searching the L2 for specific events due to this
gonna need to think on it some more...
it could spawn a background query to the L2 for the same filter anyhow, and then add the events to the local store so next query will hit them, even if the indexes fell out of the headroom space the GC allows for pruned events
i think that is better... still not perfect but L2 queries are going to always cost an extra delay time anyway, and possibly the user will refresh and by that time the event will be freshly replaced in the L1

2024-11-17 05:21:20

bah... changing the event store query function to return the events serially messes with the model of how two tier (layer2) event stores work
for now, ok, going to change it to make the assumption that all events in the L2 are known about, just there is only their index and event ID stored... i think that's ok, but it is an extra overhead to consider in the garbage collector... it kinda implies that the low/high water marks need to be lower to allow space for the size of the L2 indexes
but i guess it's not that huge, i mean... ok, tags can take up a lot of space... but compared to the event as well, and the tags are just truncated 8 bytes out of 32

criticising a thing that has a life of its own just because the mainstream has started paying attention to it for the way the mainstream is paying attention to it is kinda lame tho
and speaking from a platform that is far more centralised now than it was 15 years ago
being so myopic about something far bigger than any other economic phenomenon in maybe centuries is pretty cringe... when you look at the big picture, nothing has changed, and bemoaning the fact that nasty people are trying to capture bitcoin is pretty ignorant of the history of repeated attempts that have failed in the last 9 years or so, i think you can even trace it back to Consensys and JP Morgan trying to muscle in on it with Ethereum, and the fact that most mainstream and even this "alternative" libertarian culture bastion barely even know about that, or the deeper story behind Ver, and Wright and Ross Ulbicht and the Silk Road and Black Market Reloaded and the ongoing darkweb and Tor and Nostr now

a view over the mountain at the edge of the coast taken from the now closed cliffside road... you can see the path that is visible from out my windows and where it winds up further and higher across the edge of the mountain over to Arco de Sao Jorge and on to the town you see off in the distance, Sao Jorge:

in my situation i feel like something that was important to the process was getting into a new environment to really break out... to be honest, the place i lived the last 11 months was ok, but in too many ways unpleasant... too many people around, too many dogs, too many buildings at all near me...
i keep looking at the epic goat track i mean to go on a walk on and after just walking to the nearest town with the post office i know that it is not a small undertaking, i will spend half a day, at least, just to go far enough to get to the next town in the other direction over the mountain
lots to look forward to
i will also of course take photos, because there will be ruins all over the place to get photos of... i know even right at the start of that goat track there is an old store room burrowed into the side of the mountain that used to be like a transfer station when ships came here to drop off and pick up supplies on their way to brazil and back etc...

it's race day here in #boaventura #madeira
all day there has been cars driving around in a loop up around the mountain and down the main strip out here
not exactly a roaring crowd has showed up to watch but most of the townsfolk have turned up to watch it for a while at least... not very exciting because the starting sequence was very generous between cars to help ensure they probably won't ever come close to each other
but it was fun to watch it for a bit, lots of awesome old 70s, 80s and 90s cars being driven way too hard, making skids on the road and stuff... i guess for these quiet people out here it's probably a fun outing

you can train every day, you just can't train the same muscle group every day
also, just to repeat, and repeat... your food is really important, and beef is pretty much the absolute best for muscle gain... milk is good for energy as well but more for cardio because otherwise it is too much sugar

oh, i forgott the professional... hmmm need to get that one...
oh yes, it came out just the year before 5th element... hmm funny

well, i've been meaning to get around to seeing them myself... gonna watch them in chronological order, so, subway, leon, 5th element, district 13, lucy, valerian and the city of 1000 planets, anna, dogman
mostly just noting that down i'm pretty sure that's the correct order
just want to watch them with the progression in mind as well, as to how he refined his work

yeah...
it refers to so many prophecies and memes i can't even start to list them without spending an hour
Luc Besson is also a genius... have you seen his movie District 13? I think he did a heap of other ones, i still haven't watched Subway or whatever it was called... i probably should gather his movies because i know his stuff is good... I'm also a fan of other french directors, Juenet, the Delicatessen and City of Lost Children director and oh yes Amelie, and whoever it was that made Immortel: Ad Vitam
i'm sure there is many older, not-scifi french movies that are also awesome but those guys are all in my hot hits list

nah, it's a thing in new zealand, the maaori like to tatto their face to look more scary... australians don't do this, they are more stealth killa because the land is so dry not many people to run into on an average walk in any direction, so their favourite weapons are spear, spear with woomera (a lever to launch speers harder), heat and resin hardened clubs (modern colloquial they are "yulbe" or "you'll be fucked if it hits you" and of course boomerang, but that's for killing birds and small animals

well, spam is a kind of parasitic mechanism like how many parasitic organisms produce shit that reduces the capacity of the organism to eliminate them... literal shithole organisms
one i am intimately familiar with is Demodex Follicularis... this little turd literally has no asshole, they eat your skin oils, specific kinds (i think they especially love seed oil contaminated skin oils) get all bloated up, fuck, causing great distraction and itching, and then die in your hair follicles, poisoning you with all of their waste products as well, which further improve the conditions for further demodex bastards to come and run around and fuck and eat and shit and die as a big bloated bag of shit
i'm pretty sure i have their number now
they are the product of oxidised fats, they feed on them, and they make more of them, and then they reach a threshold where it is difficult for your body to eliminate them
except if you stop buying fucking seed oil shit
and i'm addicted to chippy
and it's not just the oxidised overheated linoleic acids and whatnot that is toxic, they also tend to contain traices of petroleum oils used in extraction and the actual seeds themselves contain dozens of fat-soluble shit in them... i never saw cold pressed sunflower oil before until i was in bulgaria a few years ago, and if anyone realised what toxic waste the oils of that seed actually are... instant anaphylaxis this shit, smells like shit, looks like shit, feels like shit
anyhow, it's taken a long time to move away from that shit because the entire food production edifice is seething with these industrially extracted, refined toxic seed oils that diminish your immune system
the solution is of course that you start buying real fats, beef dripping, lard... extra virgin olive oil is on the borderline (really, it is borderline, IMO), and thus the whole carnivore thing is an example of a social technology to defeat the seed oil poisoning parasite garbage profit machine

it's a conspiracy but eventually there will be a route out
i think technologies like tor and wireguard and others point the way... even nostr is a countermeasure against this constraint by introducing a universal middleman who can pass and cache messages

2024-11-16 13:34:27

if you think all the problems of society come from one specific group of parasitic organisms yet you don't recognise that parasitism is through and through the universe and the only real defense is called "immunity"
you are a very sad person
going at them with the bug spray is far less effective than understanding their DNA and crafting a set of techniques and policies to starve and exclude the parasites from the to and fro
sometimes even you get far more results by building systems that simply don't benefit parasites, a great example of that is Bitcoin, Bittorrent, truly genius inventions of antiparasitic technology

i think if you zoom out it's just parasites, and you can find examples in almost every place at every level of existence... once they go to far they will be extinguished

i can reserve the option of later changing it again but just following the same pattern i used to do protobuf should be easy to make the same thing... the only extra overhead it does is copying out the slice headers of the benc formatted structure and allocating/copying into the "native" realy style

i just learned about this tho
https://github.com/deneonet/benc
from this:
https://alecthomas.github.io/go_serialization_benchmarks/
and i can't help myself but implement it lol
faster than flatbuffers... faster than capn proto
the benefits of those flat/decode on demand style of codecs are zero when you actually need the whole data and taking advantage of it, requires refactoring an entire search matching library (filters in nostr)
so, i'm just gonna go with this
its syntax is like Go except also like Protobuf
it has some scheme about versioning and shit but honestly for this use case, like, such as replacing the entire nostr encoding, with the envelopes, filters and events... this would be the hands down best option because the data usually needs to be matched on several criteria in the "extra filter" used in the database indexing scheme that fiatjaf devised, so the extra logic to decode them before running the match when half the time half the fields need to be decoded, and most of the fields except for two are already just raw bytes in my data structure format...
this is it, no more fucking around, the end, faster than this is impossiburu

my biggest reason for this change is simple
the json encoder is actually the damned fastest, and hell i'd store the events in the DB directly as json if it were as space efficient as protobuf3... but besides all that, when events are queried, they have to be unmarshaled and then re-marshaled when dispatching to the clients (for queries and when events come in, for subscriptions that match, the matching requires them to be unmarshaled).
i keep saying this but for some reason the hipsters all like CBOR which is a pile of shit - the broadest and most complete binary codec support for all languages is protobuf
i'm of the opinion that some little ways down the track there will be many codecs used because it's very simple to implement to add an encoding header in the http websocket headers, one of the biggest advantages of using websockets... then all the hipsters can make their cbor clients and relays, but until then, it's merely insane to put json in the database for space reasons
oh yeah, and, not to forget... one of the things that is still in my code is the runtime versions of a, e and p tags field 2 are still in a binary form... the filter also is like this, and this nearly doubles the speed of performing a match on them because both the id/pubkey and tag data are in the same format natively
that's the main reason why my json encoder is so fast, it doesn't double-process anything

haha nah, this is portugal, everywhere in portugal, CTT is a clown show, and customs charges like wounded bulls
i finally got it also, now booted into windows to do all the voodoo to root it
the girl who was there when i arrived couldn't find it but the dude who also works there came back from wherever he was and recognised me and went straight to it...
it's a nice little thing... it's not going to have any network capability without being plugged in (i might try to get reverse tethering to work, that actually is also possible when rooted) the camera is maybe not quite as fancy but it has a wrist strap loop, it's shock proof and waterproof so it will suit my adventuring much better, even if the photographs are not quite as fancy... 13MP is good enough for me tho, and its "HDR" is reasonable... not quite as nice at macro as my old... what was it... alcatel pixi 4... cheap as piss i bought in 2014 but it took amazing macro photos

https://www.history.com/news/what-is-the-origin-of-the-heart-symbol
generally it actually was simply ornamental, or maybe related to some plants like the ivy as mentioned above... and yes, it is abortifactant like i said
not saying it's the *origin* of it but there are related symbols that more accurately represent the three chambers of the heart, as discussed in this link:
https://harvardartmuseums.org/article/a-painted-in-ancient-rome-a-brief-artistic-history-of-the-heart-symbol
also, i think the most explicitly female sexual version is the one that made it onto playing cards via the Tarot... the original symbol was in fact a chalice, and the wand and chalice are euphemisms used in old writings about sexual conjurations, the spades or swords represent the mind and the disks represents matter

it's actually a recurring phenomenon across the ages... in the late 19th century, russia was having its' "free love" time, and the very ❤️ symbol itself actually originates from a time in rome, this represents a leaf of a plant that stimulates abortion (not sure, maybe it's actually rivea corymbosa, aka morning glory, the leaf shape is the same)
humans keep falling for the same shit over and over again, i'm sure if you wanted to do a really deep historical survey you can find times where the fad of "free love" arose over and over again and find the same kind of scum, possibly even historically connected scum promoting it

yeah, it's quite interesting to watch video of incidents like this at low speed to see exactly how they roll with it... there is also a mental discipline with it, though alcohol helps it... it even talks about this simplification of reaction in the writings of Chuang Tzu about how drunk people are more natural than when sober, and there is the fable of the Taoist Butcher and the story of ... i forget who it was, but it is something of an initiation ritual for Taoism to float to a waterfall and to learn to let go in that same way
a lot of words to say...
if you practise chi gong and stuff like Ba Gua Zhang and Systema (russian martial art a lot like aikido and ju jitsu) training yourself to crumple and relax in the face of a strike is really powerful to protecting you automatically
before i had even done 10 lessons of Systema, for me the iconic training session of Systema at the beginning is the solar plexus punch soak training... basically, you get a partner, and you face up together so they are in perfect reach, if you don't move, to land a hard punch right on the middle of your sternum, possibly one of the most painful places to get punched maybe just a little less than the funny bone on the elbow... and you learn to take it, not the actual impact, but to arch your back and bring your shoulders and head forward so the peak force of the punch misses you and you basically at most feel a bit of a bump
this, for me, was a really good lesson in letting go in the face of a collision with something, and i have trained it and when i am in a better state of mind i find it very easy to do, i rarely strip over anything, i rarely bruise myself on things i didn't see

almost all of the "popular" mainstream languages share a common feature...
every one of them, nodejs with node_modules, rust with target, move with build, and there's probably others i am forgetting, literally copy almost the same big giant set of standard library code into that directory
if the disk had deduplication capability, i guess that might not be so bad, i think that ZFS has that, but i'm not even going to talk about this Unix :TM: bullshit because they deigned to force a whole different CLI API on us to just access them and since i don't need to learn this to use ext4 or btrfs, in the basic use case, fuck them, what the fuck were they thinking not binding it into mount and fucking fsck???
so, if i've been working for a while on a hundred projects or more, my disk has to have this many copies of the standard libraries, plus all the other dependencies that each one pulls in, and very often, in most languages there is dozens of more libraries that are basically de facto standard libraries, and pretty much will be stuffed in that directory for you every last one
of course, Go doesn't do this shit... in $GOROOT/pkg/mod there is a folder with version namespaces on each version of everything that everything you have ever used lives, and you can remove all of it with "go clean -modcache" or some command like this
every time you start a new project in these other systems, first step includes DOWNLOADING AND WRITING this shit to your disk. AGAIN.
if you think #golang is not a good language or toolchain, maybe that's because you have more money than brains

it's the demand side doubled, this is principally why the bankers funded suffragettes and getting women the vote and all that... to double their tax cattle base
people would not do this without being pushed and coerced and lured into it though
women are not hunters, engineers, builders or farmers, they are at best teachers, managers, nurses, artists... it's only PR that drives this nonsense about the upwardly mobile yuppie woman business nonsense, and it's completely illogical
it only continues because people can't put together enough money for a house anymore, it's got to the point where a substantial proportion of the population have given up on it altogether, and not only are they not buying houses they arent't getting married or having children, except for the women using it as a way to stay on welfare, and that was already a thing by the 70s
