OpenSource seems to be becoming a strategic tool to throw a wrench in the works of others. The US did this to Huawei by starting OpenRAN after Huawei made the first 5G chip..

Right responsibility.. 🤣
I'm not sure if you ever used Bitcoin, but having the ability to make irreversible transactions without asking anyone for permission is very powerful. However, no one can help you if you mess up by sending the money to a random address for instance. Hence, you have a lot of responsibility when you have the freedom to do whatever you want with your money..

The collective word is `liberty` and it's granted to a group by an authority. `Freedom` is taken by individuals, so it is a property of individuals by definition.
Free individuals tend to pressure authorities to grant greater liberties to groups of people. We owe our liberties to such free individuals.

I just witnessed a router's `npub` being broadcasted as a `vendor element` beacon by a router and being decoded by an Android native Tauri app!
This unlocks all kinds of mind bending things and a beautiful UX. Thanks for making this possible @nprofile…7u3d and @nprofile…zpkd 🧡

Admirable! Hopefully I can follow your example and also build the discipline to make a short summary of the week on time for demo day..

Nostrdb sounds like a useful building block. I wonder what's the easiest way to plant something it in a search engine or aggregator (like SearXNG) so that people who don't know about nostr can find content from nostr in their searches.

Is anyone working on indexing nostr events for search engines?

2024-12-19 23:16:57

I just installed SearXNG on my laptop and made localhost:9090 my default search engine. That already felt liberating, but I just keep feeling more free as I play with it 😀
Where is the catch?

Nostr is the way out. We can be on completely different internets, respecting completely different authorities with completely different address spaces. We can DM each other as long as we have a shared relay on both internets.

I see how having a surplus of addresses is useful, but I still don't like the fact that the authority is just a given.
We can use the our web of trust to resolve most naming conflicts around npubs. The conflicts within our web of trust, we need to be resolved manually - Stewart is working on this...

I don't worry about DNS because we have npubs now. However, I do worry about IP addresses - perhaps because I don't understand IPV6 well enough.
My understanding is that IPV6 comes with more addresses, so individual users can have more "public" authority in their local networks. However, my understanding is that IANA is still the top authority responsible for allocating resources in the internet. Am I missing something?

Your supply chain is currently under stress testing. These devices are perfect capable of selling each other internet access for SATs.
Just put one in each neighbors house and you have a market. I will serve this market if no one else does.

Do you have neighbors who might be willing to share an internet gateway with you? If you can point me to the demand, I might be willing to bring you a service that charges half as much and gives you twice the performance.

We are likely to find that 1TB of data is cheaper on the free market than on the KYC subscription.

It isn't a market if it requires identity and policing. TollGates charge for megabytes used and/or for time because those are more fungible than government usernames.

I hear there are KYC gateways like strike for those who want to use freedom services without already having the freedom.

2024-11-15 09:20:33

To me it's a KYC problem when your internet service provider knows who you are and interrogates you about how many devices you use. The fiat liability that you pay them with is inherently on KYC rails because it's credit.
Not sure why anyone would want to have fiat in 2024...

Sounds like you have KYC problems. Have you considered being your own ISP?
There is this permissionles money that doesn't care. Apparently it's really useful for people who want to be ISPs:

I think the final challenge is finding a way to make IANA perfectly replaceable just like the mining pools.

I love this article! Thanks to Bitcoin, anyone can be a Cobrador without asking for permission. We can ignore the fiat moats around the existing TollGates and just run our own TollGates.
Lets go!

You might want to use different npubs for different nostr clients.
