also, very often the women look to me like all the images of women were put in the models from classy porn magazines, very often absurdly provocative images with flesh and brief clothes and whatnot, but also kinda creepy because they are often quite young and look like they could be like 15 years old

i'm confused because i thought that was what the M (mimetype) code already does... you can specify from the abstract to the more concrete as a sequence of separated things like application/json sorta style, so then you would extend it to like text/asciidoc/paper or text/html/whitepaper? or am i misunderstanding?
try not to make one thing do too many things, maybe you want to do a T for category stuff like this, keep M for formats

finally #realy is back online at wss://realy.mleku.dev
in the end it was because i forgot that the main package was in cmd/realy and not at the root
there was no main package at the root so it wasn't building anything

yeah, i am praying for my little one that he isn't mutilated, some teeth, ones that aren't important, ok, but to me all of them is mutilation, i hope she got it, i was pretty emphatic, i felt like i should have said "i'll risk it please" because i don't feed him carb laden trash and will feed him proper meat as much as possible once he's all better
all i got is a prayer at the moment... it just seems crazy to me since the swelling of his gums reduced a lot thanks to the antibiotics and antiinflammatories, he was only poking out his tongue a little bit already only sometimes and a lot not at all

yeah, i know that feeling, i have a lot of trouble reading now because of some neuromuscular problem i developed from kidney disease in the last couple of years... that book was probably the last one i read all the way through, i got a nice volume with three versions of enoch (ethiopian, orthodox and jewish) and still haven't finished reading it

2025-04-23 05:49:50

- reply

the biggest two flaws i found in the book were the hermeticism and the lack of understanding the sun- and galaxy- driven cycle,
Ben Davidson of the Space Weather Channel describes it in great depth, it's like a dancer's twirling skirt that rotates around the galaxy about every 25000 years and does a 360 magnetic alignment rotation in that time
every 90 degrees of this cycle causes a 90 degree pole shift on all planets and stars and there was even now seen several stars that are further back versus the rotation direction that have had superflares and micronovas, and it's coming for us next, sometime in the next 15 years, most likely
there is also other stuff in there about how these people, who it asserts were who were called "angels" or "watchers" or "gods" (small G) just as they said in enoch and revelation and daniel are coming back for a "harvest" and other stuff hinting towards the idea that they intend to reunite with us, after carefully selecting who comes, and bringing us to a new planet
i know because you have that scifi inclination that you might appreciate that. it also points out how a lot of aspects of the Book of Mormon also hints at the idea of the angels being like us and having high technology, i think they even say something like "it was the first "science fiction" based religion, and they interestingly have a lot of interesting rules about stuff that relates to electricity, magnetism and electrostatics (mormons are not supposed to wear synthetic fibres)
so, yeah, there's a pretty good chance you will be still around for that, but even still, imagine how much more advanced they have gotten since they were able to leave here, abandoning their great city in the area of the Great Pyramids
there is also a bunch of texts from ancient egypt referring to these "gods" and one of the most obvious artifacts of their legacy are these extremely precisely machined granite vases, that were found to have been made with a very precise, common mathematical ratio, and current technology for scanning its machining precision were not able to find a level of variance over what we can do now with CNC machines, hinting at the idea that not only did they have gravity tech, they also had robots and computers

You might find the book The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya interesting... it veers more towards the Gnostic/Hermetic models in a lot of places but it has a lot of referenced old stories about the flood times, and the Space Weather Channel on youtube you can learn about how a global flood happens and how they are pretty much on a clock every 6000 years, though every second one is more intense.
It discusses in great depth Atlantis and to a lesser extent the land of Mu, relates it to the writings of Enoch and the older hindu texts as well, and 25 June this year corresponds to a conjunction that is said in the Vishnu Purana to be the beginning of a golden age. It also talks extensively about how the Atlantean culture developed high technology, the story in Enoch of the visit to many places across the world in some kind of flying vehicle.... and relates it also to the Watchers that are described in Daniel and Genesis and other places.

not quite there yet, doesn't seem to be saving the new configuration to the database and unlocking access
in other news, #mochi the #catstr is going for his dental surgery tomorrow, and i gave him the gabapentin that the vet gave me to give him prior to the op, one dose at night, one dose in the morning, mixed in hot water and sprayed into his mouth with a syringe (it's cold by then so yeah) and he is definitely less reactive such as picking him up and holding him in my arms, he's not scrambling to get off, so that's nice, he'll be real easy.to work with

it had been such a long time since i had to tangle with his spaghetti that i forgot how much i had fixed it up
i'm not just copying it across and trying to untangle it tho, for this kind of dogshit you have to write it again, with the benefit of being able to sorta follow along
refactoring too much at once is impossible, you need to build it up piece at a time once you figure out what it means, because poking at anything tugs at everything else

that reminds me
Buddhism did not have a concept of reincarnation, that is Hinduism
Hinduism was the prevailing religion that took over India and the concept of a free next life was a way to make the people accept being part of an authoritarian system. Buddhism taught that you have to earn it by freeing yourself of your attachment to the world you are in. "Be in the world but not of it" means the same thing.

@npub1cxp…exlq would concur that protestant religion had a distinct statist-authoritarian inclination and protestantism came to quickly dominate the christian world of northern europe.
i mean, even the name of the dominant english protestant church was named after the state itself, since after all, england was really just the little part of the island dominated by London, there is wales and scotland and really, much of the northern parts of england, starting somewhere around Oxford, shades into a different culture, you can tell just by the way they speak so differently (and liverpool is like an outlying outpost of the scots, man, street liverpool people speak so incomprehensibly).

2025-04-18 06:13:41

the text you quoted definitely said "inclined" not "is" which is an important distinction
and his concept of "conscience" was more like prescribed morality of corrupted religions
he was an individualist, like many philosophers at the time, and religion was a strawman that represented the concrete manifestation of corruption

he didn't say "God isn't real" or "God doesn't exist"
he said he is "dead"
as though implicitly he acknowledges the existence of God
good answer here that explains this angle:
https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/24356/what-confirms-the-claim-that-friedrich-nietzsche-was-an-atheist-from-a-christian
his statements in his writings more concur with the interpretation that the society he lived in had "killed God" than that he rejected the idea of God existing.
as it points out in that answer, he also was mad about the state of physics at that time as well, and there's another author who was similar, whose writings gave us "rabbithole" and many beautifully framed conundrums in fictional form about the problems of quantum physics and at that time, many spooks (Lewis Carroll).
even today some branches of physics are obsessed with answers to the question of where the source of energy comes from in the universe pointing at this "dark matter" and "dark energy" hooey, when, in my humble opinion, it is obvious that the universe is in a constant state of expansion, the driving force of it, and this nonsense about "the big bang" and the "big crunch" are also examples of this nihilistic, nonsensical idea that entropy, which they frame as being something like evil, prevails in the universe
it doesn't prevail, no different to the fantasy of the angel Lucifer who believed he was better than the creator of everything. it is merely the whetstone against which good must always sharpen itself (and as an amateur cryptographer, i would say that this is the most correct interpretation of what entropy actually means - the punishment for a lack of vigilance and ambition).

i think that this is the headwind that #bitcoin is currently facing, governments are using it to shore up their balance sheets, when shitcoins go down, people cash out, or at best they sell bitcoin to shore up their balance sheets
the fact that gold is going up though is bullish for bitcoin in the medium term, some number of the goldbugs are gonna dump their yellow metal for the orange coin, and i don't think we have seen the end of this gold rush by far, because if trump reshores industry that means they have to export and keep the dollar down which means that everyone else will be dumping dollars to buy something else... which is also going to mean bitcoin, probably, after gold and then silver
there's a circular logic to all of this but the most strong sign is that if the dollar stops being a reserve asset, then what else could step up to take its place, other than gold, but bitcoin
bitcoin is inflating slower than gold is, so it's inevitable

the existence of God has something in common with law as well: it is an intangible thing, you can't duplicate it or destroy it, and you can't really deny it exists because of the effects it has to do so, just like you can't see the wind, doesn't mean it doesn't exist
the existence of God is the same, you are not looking for the thing itself, because it has no substance, but its influence on everything can be seen and from this you can impute its intent and its behaviours

doesn't even take faith to understand the concept of negative rights - they are like a blacklist filter against a class of attacks, and attacks is what they are
you don't have a right to anyone else's property
from that one concept you can razor every claim of rights easily
any lawful claim to another's property can only be permitted in the case of a lawsuit such as if someone steals your stuff, they must give you back plus compensation for the loss of the property, if someone murders your child or spouse, they must be confined from society for at least a generation (25 years)... and so on
none of this is novel, just go read some books on jurisprudence written before the 20th century... the Code of Hammurabi is another good one, as is the body of law known as Lex Merchant

yeah, the thing of importing foreigners is a really big problem, as is the government sending out soldiers and spooks to go stir up trouble in those places causing their culture to degrade into violence as well
that script played out a lot especially with south america and mexico, and is now playing out in europe with middle east and africa - and eastern europe also, where their culture was destroyed a long time beforehand, that's why the european union has been so aggressively signing up former communist countries
and part of it too is this secular humanist bullshit that metastasised into woke culture, which is essentially the first step on the path to full blown satanism, that came before all of the steps you listed, and is foundational to all of them... we know who the real enemy is

2025-04-16 07:06:25

there is two problems with making rules that prohibit anything
1. criminals don't respect rules
2. governments can get tyrannical... but to quote Mark Twain "but i repeat myself" (a tyrannical government is the most large organised crime syndicate in a territory)
wanting gun violence to go away by taking guns away from innocent people is like closing your eyes to make something disappear, it's something a baby does
those who promote this are criminals because in general, they are part of a tyrannical faction of government, and don't believe people's freedom is good for the whole of society
the whole reason why the little country of USA is more prosperous than the whole of the european union is because of freedom, and the level of poverty is increasing with the enactment of repressive laws that tie the hands of good people who respect laws

only took me a minute to find that
26th highest isn't exactly nothing, and maryland has moderately repressive rules about gun ownership. coincidence? i think not. medium repression, medium violence.
in the countries where the repression is severe, people get bashed to death by fists, blunt objects and stabbed and the attackers know they likely won't get shot at. UK is one of the worst examples of this, they are practically about to ban butter knives it's that bad. Australia also has quite high levels of domestic violence and street violence in some of the places where there is a lot of immigrants from repressive cultures.

can't use radio for anything bigger than planetary networks, but i'd say an entanglement broad band connection between planets would solve the latency problem
also, simple ballistic propulsion for space travel is impossibly expensive, you definitely have to have two things: a very strong magnetic field to protect against radiation (and a mechanism to safely divert the energy that naturally must travel through the pole) and you need a device that nullifies gravity, then the acceleration ceases to be a problem, because inside that bubble you feel zero G

oof, hard day at the fiat mine today, first was the heroku and all that stuff, and then second session i discovered that some old tests in the code were not calculating time offsets properly and giving me useless numbers
the new code is working fine
tomorrow is code cleanup time... gotta bring everything up to date... stuff that evolves like this often has a way of getting crufty and needing a polish, but i'm just a bit in a tizz because i was pretty sure it was all working correctly, and now i see there is a lot of duplicaiton in the code so ... yeah... old code is gonna get removed, and the tests replaced with the current version and then i suppose it will be debugging time
timezone data is a frickin nightmare, i'm probably going to have to thoroughly revise my timezone data code as well, it seems to me like what i really should have is a self-regenerating dataset to use, hell, it will go in the database too, because why not, then it will have an automatic update from all the sources and hopefully none of them break or anything before some tinpot country changes its time zone rules again and my code is not working liek it should be

i'm gonna look at it tomorrow, i have a feeling it doesn't actually need to keep track of that shit at all, except for the purpose of cleanly closing the sockets at shutdown, so it might be a bug i put in there because i was being overly fastidious

i've got a back-burner project to build out an adequate widget toolkit for the gio golang native and it can do one codebase for all platforms including web
i finally got fed up with how they had continued to keep important, and occasionally changing parts of the widget toolkit inside an internal (unable to be accessed from a separate project) and i wrote a little web script with sed to rename all of the internal folders and it allows me to maintain parity with their codebase without its limitations

bitcoin doesn't need any changes, and anyone who thinks it does is instantly suspicious
not only that, everything since segwit has been unnecessary... they only needed to add schnorr signatures to solve the malleability problem, from already back then, and i remember those times, and i weighed in somewhere about it, because i could see it, if my vote had been counted it was for schnorr signatures and not segwit
the result of segwit has been bloating of chain data exploited by malicious developers, it was never necessary

the subscription shit you wrote in relayer and khatru pay no attention to these rules
no surprise they are shit
i'm just venting at you right now because i have to rewrite this, i made a http api subscriber framework that was at least 1/4 as much code and it works perfectly because it's simple
unraveling your bullshit javascript noob code has already cost me at least a day's work, just trying to figure out how to get rid of these stupid mutexes

that's so sweet, i am surprised, surely that was you using that name? this is the meme i think of with gary busey:

the guy on the right is actually the child star of Home Alone btw, i dunno if it was coke or meth but you can see he is obviously a bit gaunt and underweight
i had the idea after my mochi arrived that he would be my ship's cat and i would get a boat and travel a lot, though the finances for doing that are a bit nebulous, and i'm entirely unsure where i would go, to the americas, or east to the mediterranean, agean and black seas and maybe travel up the danube to visit again to serbia, hungary and germany, so, it's just a wish at this point, though the potential practicalities of simply living in a boat are already highly probable at this point, but maybe in a year or two

i am so grateful for having been able to get myself resided in such a beautiful place as #boaventura #madeira
i wanted a cat again since i had to let my little hochi go back in Varna, i never even hardly got to see him grow up, he was like maybe 3 months old when i left, after the war started in ukkraine
i can make complaints about how the vet did not seem to understand that i knew my little #mochi the #catstr was in a moderately painful position, but i won't, i will more focus on why i knew - i adopted a rescue cat, a little medium hair black female, i called her "bastet" after the egyptian goddess, and she was pretty awesome but she was not entirely happy
i also had to leave her behind, and my mother was kind enough to allow her to stay in the house and at some point for reasons i forget, she got some doctoring and they said she needed dental care because she had a case of chronic gingevitis
my mother reported to me that after getting the surgery, she became extremely cuddly and was so much in need of her lap that my mother found it problematic because she was interfering with her ability to do her main activity, being textile arts, spinning and knitting mostly, and she ultimately sought a new keeper for her and bastet went elsewhere...
this was ... hmm so i think she was a year old about 2008, i recall that year clearly, because i did a lot of forex trading that year and mastered making a consistent profit, and i learned not to be mean to cats that year, after one day getting cranky at her for crying to me... because her litter tray was dirty and i didn't know this but girl cats can't stand to use a litter tray that they can smell their pee in
so, yeah, i miss her, and i wish i could show you a photo of her beautifully posed sitting on top of a rolled up futon with her arms (haha, front legs) crossed looking so pretty
and she had an ongoing problem with her gums that once it was fixed, she became an extremely adoring little girl, and i'm sure that the people who took her loved her, because after she was rescued and i took her and she got her gums sorted out, she would have been a totally adorable little lap kitty for anyone whose work did not make that problematic
girl cats are also extremely affectionate, they need pats more than boy cats
so i'm quite looking forward to when this little one has his dental problems sorted out because he will be a constant pest jonesing for my lap as i work on my computer and bugging me with a chirp every so often to indicate he needs pats
the prognosis for his health is good, just that the level of pain he gets from his nasty gum problems is really quite extreme, i have never seen such a horrible thing inside a cat's mouth in my life, and my sympathy for his pain grew a lot this morning seeing it
as regards to this concept of sympathy, i also have realised that it's a synonym, exactly, for the latin word "misericorda" - to feel another's pain, and the word that is translated to english as "mercy"
so, i thought i was plagued with some kind of autistic problem but i'm plagued with mercy.
i find it extremely difficult to not sympathise, or feel the pain, of other people, and it has been almost the most strong element of my motivation in my life
i'm not averse to causing pain to others though, in my mercy to those they have caused pain to, but i walk the path of peace and when i do battle with such that cause pain i take the path of soft war, i have long wished i could get more people to understand how much that cruel, and violent people are really just seeking attention and the most effective method to keep them at bay is to simply ignore them, not to react, not to fight back... unless the violence is happening in the moment, and defense is needed, then ok, retribution must take place but the way you fight against evil is to corner it and starve it
anyway
just thinking about all the stuff tied to the current state of my kitty and how much gratitude i will feel when his pain is over and he can be my lap warmer and constant pest of my obsession, to make me pay attention to the world outside my little task, not just his needs but to remind me to switch gears sometimes to attend to other things

seems like it would be quite useful for catching what you sent with actual outbox clients, but outbox is actually a second level of complexity above this, maybe you can build this out:
sometimes it may happen that your outbox capable client failed to send an event to your outbox relays, or, maybe you changed them, and messages that you sent would get missed
but your follow list contains a list of users, if you gathered their relay lists you could then make an extended search to catch the stray stuff that for whatever reason (ie, using a non-outbox client to publish a message, or relays down) you didn't find by looking at your outboxes
seaching your follows for their inboxes would give you a second phase to the process and then you would definitely catch the dregs at the end of the bottle

the main problem is that there is no design discipline specified... so people design whatever without any framework, and it's a mess

i'm making my process public as an example of how it should be done, and why the nip number kind number spaghetti is leading us to this situation
the lunacy of the original design of the user metadata kind is exemplary of the way that errors stack upon each other when you don't cut the weed out when it is small, you then have at least two extra processes you need to do when you don't cut at the root, then you have to also cut at the stem and separate the branches into their actual logical structure

2025-04-13 12:14:51

it doesn't but what i just explained should be a preamble of policy
the cleanup will be difficult if we stay locked within the model of kinds, because they are not descriptive
there's several layers of shit that need to be separated, and i have taken the approach to start with the protocol level, once that is done it's a lot easier to modify the event structure to use a descriptive text for kinds instead of a commie number

that's why i'm making the HTP API
it is far simpler to specify them, it's actually basically declarative code
not allowing more than one base type for messages is retarded, as is not cleanly separating request and response types, as is using a bidirectional socket for what is essentially a client-server interaction, and the role should not be coded implicit to the sender or it adds an extra layer of complexity to the codec (this is a bad violation of DDD)

other parts of the culture are fanatically rigorous and extremely bothered by signs of socialistic behaviour though... idk if you read Atlas Shrugged, i read part of it but couldn't finish it but certain elements of the nostr dev culture are just like the retarded socialists gossiping and their slogans of endless repetition

first thing that is wrong is the name, this whole shit was called "listener" before
so, you know, basic computer network terminology, for those in the back @npub180c…h6w6
A person or entity that provides a subscription can be referred to as a publisher 1. They provide the product, service, or content to which a subscriber has access in exchange for a recurring fee 23. Subscription services are popular because they provide a source of added revenue 4.
i guess that part about paying for subscriptions is icky to communists

2025-04-13 10:27:57

gawd, this subscription listener thing in this code is so written wrong
firstly, it is using maps, which means mutexes, those aren't necessary for reading, and the actual websockets that are part of the map... have their own mutex on their functions so there is actually no need for this
so after fighting with this for the last day, i'm just gonna refactor this progressively
first is removing those maps and mutexes, that are unnecessary
they are just a lazy way to deal with removing elements of an array, but in Go that laziness means mutexes and it means less efficient concurrency, the array can be concurrently read, this is not a problem!
then once i have converted the lists of subscribers and their contained subscription IDs i can then make the structure common with the http except with the difference of a second interface that handles accessing the actual socket and id of each of the elements, which doesn't need to be done for the http one because it only does one filter one request
the last part is that the websocket has a context that closes same as the http.Request, so i will probably want to unify that somehow
this architecture is ugly, really ugly, like a classic bulgarian commieblock

heh, and probably also... the gabapentin... i've given a diabetic cat shots before and i know exactly how to do it, that would be the easy option, for me, same with the antibiotic, just a vial, clean syringe, measure, grab the cat by the scruff of the neck and push the needle in at the back of the neck and squeeze and done... cat only feels a little prick like a tiny fraction of what happens in a cat fight, and within 10 minutes the drug takes effect, no muss, no fuss
i guess i'm a bit unusual in this because i'm very comfortable with actual needles, having used meth many times in my yoot with it, as well as having actually babysat a diabetic cat
what these fucking cat food companies sell just herds these poor cats into the vets to get treated for diseases they should never have been poisoned to get in the first place
and then, on top of it, this fucking doctor elitism shit that i am too stupid to understand how to nurse my cat... i feel like i'm probably going to mention when i take him in for the surgery that i'm a qualified body piercer and former needle user and i would have preferred to give my kitty the drugs by needle if that was the way they would do it because i'm NOT stupid or uninformed and >_<
oh well, live and learn
poor mochi tho, he's only in this situation because he was stealing shitty high carb food left out for other cats of the neighbours and they don't know better and all of their cats are probably gonna end up dying of renal failure due to their high carb diet

here the people have been carring around rosemary and twigs of olive and today in the church everyone had a bouquet of it, i didn't know, but a nice lady gave me a couple branches of olive from hers so i could hold it up for the rite. the rosemary is such a nice smell...
i never knew about how this thing was done... there was also a recitation of the story of the crucifixion and the priest spoke the parts of Jesus, i understood enough of the portuguese to hear familiar lines from that story, honestly, while i might say that the amount of ritual and the sheer volume of text involved seems intimidating to learn especially for me watching it in portuguese but they never did it anything as nice as this at the protestant churches... feels more ... appropriate, considering the nature of the text

i'm also a bit concerned about how i'm going to give him the gabapentin... seems to me like probably the only practical way is if i dissolve it in water and shoot it into the back of his throat same as the antibiotic, maybe just even mix it into the antibiotic juice
i'm not entirely pleased about how this is working out, it's taking a lot more time than it should be
well, it will be over in 12 days time anyway, and then he's just post-op recovery, which should be fine, hopefully it will just be more antinflammatories and antibiotics and finally done
if they were properly caring about this poor little guy they would have been referring me to another vet surgeon to get it done sooner, because it's ready to be fixed already
if you ask me, it's clear the reason why he was so aggro at the vet when i was there two days ago it's because he's in severe pain and doesn't want his hurty bits prodded at
i think probably it's just simply not as serious as "he will die if it's not fixed" so they didn't go defcon 1 on it, but i honestly would have preferred that option
i knew right away from the moment i saw the way his jaw and tongue were that he most likely had a bad case of gingevitis and honestly... i'm not happy, i just hope that the condition will not get any worse than it is right now while he waits

2025-04-13 09:45:56

- reply

i actually think i probably will just start giving him the full dose and visit the vet in santana to get the rest needed until the surgery, because i just can't see how it has any chance of not getting worse for him, poor dear
it probably also explains why he has tended to sleep with his nose pointed down too, to release the pressure on it
he's better, for sure, the ear ache is obviously less than it was and his eyes are clear now but that gingevitis is from hell

2025-04-13 09:41:44

i saw the "hyperplasia" that the vet was talking about on #mochi the #catstr just now, and omg, there is so much it's like a chunk about the size of a baby's thumb, no wonder he is having problems with his mouth... damn that vet for not having a slot sooner to get it seen to, it looks awful, i mean, no wonder he is in so much pain
i hope it doesn't get much worse... the vet sorta understated the situation i think, i better make sure his visit is lined up properly, he has 12 days of the anti-inflammatory, and honestly i wish he'd given me enough for a full tablet per day because clearly this is not gonna be well for him until he gets that surgery

cashu is 1983 technology and vibe coded apps are going to be way more buggy than hand coded, and ai is just lossy compression of large volumes of data... and nostr's protocol is also backwards because fiatjaf didn't understand everything can be done easier and more stable with http
proper software takes time to build up, it took me a year part time to build the fastest relay and it's still not 100% production ready by my standards, not "vibe coded" lossy compression standards
what is great about nostr is it is simple enough that it will proliferate into a whole new class of infrastructure on the level we saw with HTTP in the last 20 years, and it's not going to happen overnight, and nobody is going to use vibe coded apps once they degenerate into a feature fest while nothing is tested and the errors of the AI continue to not be attended to by rigorous software engineers

btw, the stuff about the black sea rising up over bulgaria, the eastern region of the country is full of sandstone, there's even one place i saw while travelling on the train to Varna that they had cut the top off a whole giant mountain made out of it, and one of the biggest lime factories in europe is in a town called Devnya and the size of the cable cars and the train station where it was loaded on was epic, i mean, epic... the factory was pretty damn huge too, several really big smoke stacks for the giant furnaces and shit... probably a big part of what glued most of eastern europe's commieblocks came from this place (i'd guess russia has some good ones of its own)... but massive sandstone deposits are clearly from the sea, sand and fragments of shells and diatoms and other bony microorganisms, coral, etc, animals that absorb the calcium from the water and use it to build their skeletons and other things (all shells, etc)
because it was bulgaria, that indicates that the initial shift was towards bulgaria, the sea rose up over the regions around the caspian and then as it al piled up over that peninsula and across the other side it then sloshed back
so, based on that i'd say that when this event happened the direction of the shift was east-northeast at that time, as the sloshback is more violent and rather than just flowing up, the whole seabed of the black sea would have been washed up onto the land
