Great watch indeed, I got the Instinct 2x solar tactical and the built-in flashlight is just so useful! Also 40d battery life if I go outside often enough 🤩

Keine Ahnung was für ein Wahnsinn in Deutschland wieder los ist, aber der Vorteil von Wärmetauscher basierten Systemen ist, dass sie (zumindest theoretisch, also Augen auf beim Kauf) auch umgekehrt zum kühlen im Sommer genutzt werden können. Da höre ich gewisse Kreise schon jammern 😄

Trying to pump up the Nostr engagement numbers? 😜
More seriously, if rust tells you you are doing something wrong it's typically correct about it. Not great for random hacking around without a plan, but awesome for building and maintaining reliable systems. The main problem I feel is finding good developers (that aren't already working on something super awesome).

Tbh I don't know how I made do with 16G till only a few years ago anymore. It's crazy how software extends to the amount of memory you give it.

After discovering that my laptop used like 20GB of swap space a few days ago I finally upgraded from 32G to 64G RAM, let's hope CLion, Firefox and rustc will stay in these bounds for a bit, I only got one potential doubling left 😬

Looking at BIPs: for small numbers just put them into the markdown spec doc, for big numbers/large vectors add a file of appropriate encoding (here a list of json and info on if its valid or what is wring with it I guess) and reference it. Not sure about specifics, not an expert in speccing, just a consumer of specs.

Do you happen to know why it begins downloading stuff like mad and supposedly runs out of memory eventually (rather quickly on a GBit backed WiFi)?

Idk why, but viewing your profile made Amethyst crash more than once for me 😬 maybe related?

2023-03-12 21:50:13

One of the most important but likely most underrated things happening in Nostr right now. Building distributed systems is hard. #[0] https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/355/files

That could hide unintentional implementation or configuration errors 😬 better to be explicitly about where money goes.

Didn't think about it that way before, but does it mess with #hashtags ?

Having test vectors people can easily test against and maybe a more machine readable spec (e.g. JSON schema) would help with that. My experience with Nostr and LNURL has been one of reverse-engineering and trying to understand the author's intentions so far (human language sucks for specs).
There's only so much time people spend on spec compliance if it works(tm), being compliant should be the easiest path to "it works".

Is there a NIP for LaTeX math support? 🤪

2023-03-12 13:37:31

For that it works surprisingly well 😅 also, I don't get the md hate, super easy to support in nearly any language and not too bad to read without rendering (unlike LaTeX).

Do any nostr clients support rudimentary markdown like:
* Lists
* *italic* and **bold** typefaces
* [Hyperlinks](https://bitcoin.org)
* `innline code`
```rust
// Code blocks
let foo = "bar";
```
## Subheadings
And finally footnotes [^1]
[^1]: lmk if anything works :)

Props to #[0] for being the only org I've seen so far generating their `.well-known/nostr.json` on the fly using the `?name=…` parameter and not just listing everyone with a NIP-5 handle under the domain.
Is there some open source server for that? Not that it'd be hard to implement, but why re-invent the wheel …

If it ever becomes significant I'll probably turn it off again. Kinda sad, becauseits *is* a lot of fun throwing around sats and seeing others doing so 🥲

Every day I'm amazed how such an under-engineered protocol can work so well in practice and just keeps getting better 🤯
The extensibility and scriptability (you can sign a message with a key? => you can post!) makes it even more exciting!

2023-03-11 19:53:06

Did anyone think about that leaving cryptographic evidence of having received money, in form of zap notes signed by the *recipient*, isn't the best idea re taxes 😬
If you are receiving significant amounts might be worth reconsidering.

Plugins are awesome!
They allow following the Unix philosophy of tools doing one thing and doing it well and then composing these tools to accomplish specific taksks.

After some more hacking with #[0] I finally got Zaps to work properly with my Core Lightning node. All you need is two plugins:
* clnurl: LNURL server with Nostr support https://github.com/elsirion/clnurl
* cln-zapper: Broadcast zap notes when invoices are paid https://github.com/thesimplekid/cln-zapper-rs

Are there any mobile nostr Clients with good Tor support?

2023-03-05 16:55:26

- reply

The results are in, it takes ~170 lines of #rustlang code and half a day of work if you implement a LNURL server for Core Lightning. Deployment was a ~25 line diff to my nix-bitcoin config.
I think #[1] nerd-sniped me 😅
Added benefit: now I can zap around on nostr like all the cool kids 😁

I think you missed his point unfortunately. He argues forthee adoption of more private protocols where this isn't even possible.

2023-02-06 19:13:07

The thing is we can't really do anything effective against it, especially not in an ethically consistent manner as Andrew puts it quite well, so all the outrage seems not really helpful.

What gives me hope for nostr is the same reason that gives me hope for mixnets:
Hardware performance has gotten to a point that we can be ridiculously inefficient at solving simple tasks without it being perceptible. This makes fundamentally less efficient protocols viable.
But it also means that app developers will have to work twice as hard to make the UX slick, you can only spend your performance budget once after all. I'm excited to see where this goes!

Not on iOS myself, but I hear it's the best client 😃

2023-02-05 23:54:53

Amethyst is the first nostr client that makes me consider it as a serious Twitter alternative. Still lots of optimization to do, but the out-of-the-box experience is better than I anticipated.
