It's nice to see that Nostr is getting better and better. The clients are more and more stable and get new features. Nevertheless, I will turn my back on Nostr indefinitely, because the topics here are not diverse enough for me. Even though I am a 97% Bitcoin maxi, I am still interested in other topics.

What happened in Belgorod was a great PR stunt by the Freedom of Russia Legion. It is the absolute humiliation of Russia, which cannot protect its border in the war zone.
It is another disgrace of the 3-day special operation that further damages Putin's and Russia's reputation.
Despite this very little is getting through to Russia. The propaganda machine continues to work, and the protests against the war have largely died down. The victims of the meat grinder all come from outside the centers of power.
However, this PR stunt also highlights something essential: There is a path to freedom for the many oppressed Russians.

From time to time it is good to read the Unabomber Manifesto: "Industrial Society and Its Future":
• Technology has led to a dehumanizing and alienating society that values efficiency over well-being
• The ruling elite use power structures to control and manipulate individuals
• The media reinforces the dominant ideology of the ruling elite
• Technology has resulted in a loss of privacy and autonomy
• Revolution is necessary to replace current societal structures with ones that prioritize individual freedom and autonomy

Switching off nuclear energy is a purely rational decision. The costs of nuclear power have always exceeded the benefits. Today, the costs of nuclear power are almost as high as those of gas-fired power plants.
If you add the follow-up costs: maintenance, dismantling, interim and final storage, the costs of nuclear power are between 5-10 times higher than the second most expensive form of energy.
Nuclear energy is and remains unprofitable. Except for the operators, who do not have to pay for nuclear waste etc.

The Need for Enemy Images in the USA: An Examination
Since its entry into World War II and the subsequent economic boom, the United States has relied on a sense of national unity to function effectively. Hitler served as a prominent enemy image long after throwing out the Royals to unite the nation.
Following the conclusion of World War II, the US shifted its focus to the east and viewed communism and the Soviet Union as its new enemy. This was driven by a mix of fear and a desire for national unity, which was a pressing concern given the country's diverse immigrant population.
However, this fear of communism also had unintended consequences. It resulted in the rejection of socialist ideas and perpetuated an ailing school system and the most expensive healthcare system in the world.
After its failed attempt to designate radical Islamists as the enemy, the US has turned its focus to China.
The presence of a perceived threat can serve to increase national unity and bring together a divided nation.
It is important to acknowledge that enemy images can serve a valuable function. In both sports and politics, they bring together individuals who may otherwise have little in common. Enemy images can promote national unity, support military and economic objectives, and foster stability and coherence. However, it is also crucial to consider the potential negative outcomes, such as strained relations with other nations and stigmatization of certain groups and individuals.
But: The US Air Force's ability to intercept a weather balloon has been confirmed.

About Nostr and Censorship
Yesterday the CAC banned Damus from the Chinese market just one day after its release. However pandora's box has been opened, there are a lot of alternative clients to Damus and some individuals have the capability to create their own independent clients. Nevertheless, it is only a matter of time before the Chinese regime takes measures to identify and restrict access to Nostr network relays through censorship.
The Chinese government has various methods at its disposal to censor Nostr. They could block IPs of commonly used relays or block access to the WebSocket connections that users rely on to connect to the relays, rendering the network inaccessible within the country. Additionally, the government could also attempt to track down and shut down individual relays within the country, disrupting the network's infrastructure and making it difficult for users to communicate.
Another potential measure that the Chinese government could take is to monitor and analyze the traffic flowing through the network, remember Chinese government has a significant amount of control over the internet infrastructure making attacks feasible, to identify any politically sensitive content. If such content is detected, the government could then take action to censor it, such as blocking access to the relays or shutting them down entirely.
The availability and effectiveness of countermeasures in China against censorship can vary. The Chinese government has been known to take aggressive steps to restrict the use of VPNs and other circumvention tools, such as blocking access to VPN services and websites and cracking down on individuals who use them.
Similarly, using Tor in China can also be challenging, as the government has been known to block access to the Tor network and use various methods to identify and track Tor users.
Relay operators within China could protect themselves from detection with additional security measures such as traffic obfuscation e.g. padding, fragmentation, or shaping of the data, or by using multiplexing, where multiple services or protocols run over the same WebSocket connection.

2023-02-02 22:20:13

It is quite disturbing how quickly the CAC banned Damus from the Chinese market. It is certainly the result of the enormous download numbers.
Tomorrow I will write down some thoughts on how people affected by censorship, such as the Chinese, Russians, Iranians, and Arabs, could be helped with services for Nostr.

At least ALL relays should store the latest kind 0 and 2 events of every user. This is the first step to enabling "smart" clients and relays. Otherwise, it's brute-forcing data.

Yes. If we stick to some selected ones and republish the data pulled from other relays. The client as well as the relay load would reduce. Instead, the databases will grow on relays.
E.g.: a lot of people are following @jack but he is not on x, y & z relay. So the first user (x and y) would fetch the latest posts and republish them on x and maybe y. The second (z and y) doesn't see it on z but on y and so republishing it. The third user (x, y, z) can get it directly now from x, y, or z.
I'm also a fan of throwing away old posts - but having paid relay options with a larger retention time.

# Proposal: To Encourage Meaningful Contributions on Nostr
Envision a social network where every post holds value, relevance and contributes to the betterment of society. Each contribution adds depth to the conversation, ignites new ideas, and helps build a thriving online community.
- By prioritizing meaningful contributions, users are more likely to engage and participate. In turn, this leads to an enhanced user experience, making Nostr a more productive and enjoyable space.
- Relevant posts will ensure that critical information is readily shared and accessible to a wider audience, driving knowledge exchange and growth.
- Spam can detract from the overall user experience and hinder meaningful content exchange.
And now let's have a look on your timelines. How many of that posts are contributing? And how many of them are 'gm', unfunny memes and just a waste of your precious time?
What we want is to encourage meaningful contributions, but we also need to avoid censorship. How can Nostr escape this catch-22 situation?
