"Here I suggest, therefore, the content of four important acts of remembrance that, in concert, re-narrate the world to the Christian mind in such a way as to call into question the otherwise tacit response to the world in the context of modern alienation. First, such a person must recollect the arguments for and the nature of God's being. Second, one must recollect the primal created freedom of humanity and its relationship to history. Third, the Christian must have an honest assessment of humanity's misuse of its freedom. And fourth, per Christian acceptance of divine revelation and promise, such a person must recall that the deepest human quandary is ultimately not resolved by human attunement to the divine but via divine attunement to the human."

I think about this a lot. No one wants to be a plumber, why would they want to go into manufactuting? But I'm still in favor of bringing manufacturing back, if only because it will force us to take a step away from the abstract worlds of financialized or digitized work.

2025-04-15 22:23:44

Drafted a quick NIP, I think a separate "aliases" kind might be a better way to handle this, since overloading profiles would result in overwriting all aliases with your global profile. Aliases being separate also allows us to avoid having to synchronize the entire profile across all versions.

Yep, flotilla is on the app stores

2025-04-15 21:52:57

I am attempting to add "protected" profiles to flotilla, so that people can create an account, but only share their name with the groups they're a member of.
I implemented this today by adding a`-` tag to profiles and sending them to group relays (as well as fetching profiles from group relays and keeping track of which relay a given profile event came from). This allows for different profiles on different relays, but it breaks the "profile" page because without the context of which relay you're on, you don't know which profile to show if they diverge.
I suppose you could show your "global" profile, with some "aliases" below it. But then you're in the business of managing multiple profiles, which seems really annoying. Maybe an "alias" event kind would be an improvement? You could specify just a subset of profile data, and merge it into your global profile in particular contexts. This could be good for privacy, but also would just be a fun feature to have in groups.
I'm curious if anyone else has worked on this problem and come up with a good solution.

But then they would be signed by a different key

2025-04-15 18:49:00

- reply

If you sign your data it becomes self-authenticating. True, you'll never have 100% certainty that your data won't be removed unless you self-host, but you can replicate your content across multiple more or less trusted hosts, who would all have to deplatform you at once for it to be effective. You can also keep a back up and re-upload it to a new host at any time. This is good enough for most people, and the option of self-hosting is always open to people who feel they have a higher risk of deplatforming.

It could be a lot of things, likely the algorithm for relay selections deciding not to select your haven relay. How many relays do you have and what's your relay limit (app settings > Max relays per request)?

Protestants get queasy about the deification term, but (correctly understood) it's an orthodox idea.
Consider:
John 17:20-23, “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me."
Eph 2:21-22, "in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit."
Ephesians 5:25-30, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones."
The point is not that we become self sufficient like God, but that we are brought into perfect union with Him. Progressive Christianity puts man first, and asks God to submit, which is unspeakably perverse. Mormonism tells flattering fables. Orthodox Christianity accepts and submits to the radical invitation to fellowship and life God offers us in His Son.

He was a Catholic

2025-04-13 22:38:59

"Christianity is a religion of the incarnation. God became Man so that Man could become God, as the fathers have said. So that means that by way of the incarnation our humanity does not need to be disintegrated, dissolved like the dewdrop, but is can be deified. This is the term the fathers have used."
- Wolfgang Smith

2025-04-13 22:24:52

When asked to explain his choice to major in physics, Wolfgang Smith said, "I want to study physics because I believe that physics is the key to the understanding of the universe." He amends, "Needless to say, I have changed my mind in the interim."

You'd still end up connecting to more relays than necessary. The most useful part of merging filters is figuring out which people publish to hubs and which don't, eliminating relay lists with 30 relays on them. @nprofile…8wqr @nprofile…qjvg @nprofile…0dsc have recently worked on this I think

2025-04-04 15:58:16

We shouldn't merge the PR, relays should continue to support multiple filters. But, having implemented this in coracle recently, it's actually super nice because it encourages callers to split requests by filter, which results in slightly faster response times for each result set.

Keep recording it, thinking about it, even prototyping. Nostr has a lot of momentum right now, so I don't think a toy protocol will divert substantial effort away from nostr. But keep it visible enough so that if/when a successor is obviously needed we have a good starting point. It's a good project, and I think (at least for now) it "counts" as nostr
