Here's my question: https://youtu.be/TqxDr_SjAgg?t=18747
I was glad I had my silk road shirt on for this one ;)

( @nprofile…nr6j you asked me to tag you)
Figured something out.
Stretching on the floor is stupidly difficult. You can stretch twice as far and have a lot more control by squatting with heels flat and extending legs while keeping hands on floor. Then rock side to side to get a **_really_** good stretch.
#nevent1q…lm3x
I love that idea... Its like exponential p2p healing.
Also its impossible to quantify the cumulative effect of the remainder of my life being against the parasites. Before, I was detached, uninvolved, unspiritual, had no dog in the fight. But they pissed me off... I'll never shut up now. Add that up over a lifetime. Its that butterfly tornado effect thing... Hopefully
one of the things that eventually comes to you as you play more and more survival games is that real life is a survival game, people just get so bogged down in repetition and stability that they lose their ability to adapt to new threats
the cure for this is trying new stuff and taking big risks, with sufficient calculation beforehand
you should NEVER consider your life, actual being alive, to be granted, it has to be defended, and the quality level has to be proactively managed
this would be easier to do with a microservice
i'm literally in the midst of writing a recommendation engine and it has a database of recorded recommendations and i'm just building out the response endpoint that it requires
the architecture of your intended system is almost identical in most respects, add item to list, random select item, record item was given, don't give item again next time
it's not a front end thing, this requires a database and an API
i could probably build it in 5 days at about 3-4h/day work once i have the full data spec and user story
i have been learning how to apply medicine to kitties, they are well armed as well, and there's a huge element of psychological warfare in how you prevail and cause healing to the kittah
similar thing with this beast, it's tasty, but you gotta handle it just so
please tell your hooman to add more content
the way is to heal it, that is the ultimate revenge
the fuel that motivates you is being fed up with suffering
the number of ways in which they are killing people is quite incredible, i can rattle off a standard printed page full of things that are commonly in food and medicines that are poisons
the way i think about it, not everyone has to understand it, but us ... rebel doctors, shall i say ... we figure it out, and then we heal a few people and teach a few people and it replicates like an epidemic, but in reverse (as in, it stops death rather than causes it)
and yes, meeting others with the same temperament and curiosity and intelligence required to do the work... this is another factor that amplifies the response
You might be onto something. The way my body reacted was pretty consistent with an anaphylactic reaction - couldn't breathe, blood pressure crazy high. There was, and still is to some degree, a feeling like my lungs couldn't get oxygen or couldn't move it to my blood, how ever that works - its like a physical blockage. I sometimes remark about how pushups feel like I'm literally pushing something out or through, specifically right in the middle of my chest. I never felt that way before the vaccine.
This has become like a spiritual test for me... I'm certain they did it on purpose, and I was supposed to die. I can react with anger and revenge, or I can put all that down.
yeah, it makes sense, the modification changes your cells but doesn't touch the actual cause, which i am quite sure now is some kind of bioweapon blood parasite, the virus is just a trigger
the key effect that the infection had was essentially an extreme anaphylactic reaction, it was similar to the reaction i get from consuming seed protein for way too long, especially wheat, but zein from corn also is bad
the disease is an allergic reaction, so removing the sources of foreign proteins is the main cure, and these parasites i am hypothesising about are basically foreign proteins that trip the immune system into hyper-reaction
Its worth it to ditch caffeine. I've been off it, but currently on it.
Ivermectin might have played a role in my surviving the clot shot. I'm not up on the reasons anymore, but it was one of the things I tried when the vaccine effects were really bad.
hydroxy chloro-quinone... yes, a synthetic relative of quinine
i think blood parasite stuff like HQC and ivermectin work better, they are a fancy form of amoeba that have a spiral snake shape, and their biochemistry is very much in the same category as stuff like malaria
the role of GMO parasites has not been fully uncovered in the covid scam, the fact that IVM shuts down the virus says a lot, like, the virus is actually augmenting the parasite and has no effect otherwise
i got hit bad with covid in feb 2020 and i had just spent like 3 months living in squalor, and for sure one of teh things that happened was i acquired a microscopic mite parasite on my skin, that took months to get rid of, and still is kinda around
i should also just say that recently i stopped consuming caffeine and coffee and i strongly suspect that this shit is an immunosuppressant, you can improve your health dramatically by not using that shit anymore
and that applies to summer weather as well, because the wool is less hydrophilic, and breathes better
the mind disease of modern bootlicking socialist communist communitarian shit is extremely widespread
they have stuffed the channels of information so much that almost nobody born in the last 20 years has actually read stuff that isn't poisoned by it
yeah, less like poker and more like craps
a person's whose productivity is improved by lossy compression, i mean AI, will
that's not me, you can't use this trash on the programming language i work with
the hype is so overblown, and for programming it only applies to you dumbass front end devs who don't understand protocols or architecture (and that's the fuckers that are largely responsible for the nips repo)
yeah, if electric resistive heating is economic for your purposes then you might as well solo mine because the pool yield will be not that huge, it really depends on your capital basis and how much you make yout of your enterprise whether you can absorb the ongoing power cost
personally, i think that even in the heating use case pool is more practical, but if you make enough profit above that input cost to absorb an ongoing loss for that which is just a bit above an electrical resistive element, then, why not mine solo
so, that's gonna be part of what drives this, and yes, it makes the network more decentralized, though it's not gonna be a huge amount of boost to that... but some is better than none
if i was running a bigger farm, like a few thousand watts of gear, and the heat was going to uses that the input cost was practical, then i'd farm mine solo
i can think of many production processes that benefit from the nasty hot dry of the air coming off a heatsink, many agricultural processes especially
it's lossy compression, they are trying to sell it as intelligence but it's actually just lossy compression
so the quality declines, the variety of the product will continue to fail to grow and people will eventually get bored of seeing the same shit over and over again
it's like stock photos, that cost energy instead of royalties
yeah, idk... electrical heating is not as efficient as burning carbon based fuels directly, and that's a lot of infrastructure for electric heating, i think that solo mining for heat is basically an urban thing, out in the boonies you got better things to do than spend a lot on connectivity
so long as people keep running stuff without permission, yes
https://www.youtube.com/@wavestereosound oops forgot teh link
and they all look the same
here's a youtube account i follow that makes some nice soundscapes, and uses a generator that looks exactly like what you just showed
i mean, to my eyes, it's the same thing, fine, that's great, but i wonder about people who find this kind of uniformity pleasing
the reason why the frequency of solo miners finding blocks has increased is because, in part, if you need heating, the cost of mining to generate the heat is near par with just using the the power to run a standard resistive heat device
people just run a device that is not much more expensive than a regular heater and the unlikely and rare block solution event is gravy.
i'm also old but it has already solved problems for me now going on to the 13th year of my time using it
yeah, the hype about the solo miners who win blocks is just not very economical for the normal person, it could be literally a decade before you get one, though that would probably be quite a windfall, you have to pay the power bill the whole time
Got one. I don't want the hat if I win.
there's a reason why most of the plastic tray shrink wrapped style packaging of meat has those quite thick pads under them, it's to absorb the blood
if you shop at a proper butcher, they array the meat out in the display refrigerator on top of grills and the blood is mostly drained out by the time you buy anything in there
an excess of blood in meat is unpleasant and it does change the flavor and it changes the way it cooks, the dry brining is actually basically about drawing the blood out more quickly, but simply hanging it works fine
also, it takes at least 3 or 4 days in warm dry room temperature air for there to be any risk of meat becoming infected with something, a day or two draining is perfectly fine
in the game Ghost of Tsushima, you visit many mongol tents and one of the almost universal items found in every mongol tent is a huge piece of some animal, usually cow, dangling on a hook, looking quite dry
the shit they do to meat in many places now is awful, like, the bacon and pork in the UK when i was living there, was so ladened with nitrite salts that it totally fucked up the flavor and way it cooked
i don't know why people don't complain about it but the big supermarkets have basically driven traditional butchers to the margins and it's only there you get meat that has been handled by experts, the shit in supermarkets is factory, and usually corn fed, you can smell it especially in offal like chicken livers when you cook it, people just have no fucking idea and so they get away with it and the quality of life continues to slide downwards
Hey! Fren!
I'm old, and I expect bitcoin to make things better for everyone, even after I'm gone, Thank God!😜🤣😂🫂💖🙏🏻👍
Listening to older people saying bitcoin isn't gonna fix this or that is funny to me. Because they are completely wrong. They just know that they wont see it happen because they too old.
well idk what your sources are but the blood is constantly leaking out of the meat and forms a scum all around the pan when i cook it... the more i drain it the less it does this and the more tasty it is at the end, as well
Add childbirth to that and you can see how f’ing amazing mums are.
well, yeah, well designed protocols... but protocols existed long before computers, they are just a procedure or ritual
the fraud is still an imposition and a conspiracy and the protocols are countermeasures, you could say that bitcoin was the first, and nostr is now the second protocol that has mechanisms built into it that make deception more difficult
"sun my bum bum" lol haha
privacy is sovereignty over one's personal data
it's a bit like money in that trusted third parties can abuse you, and there is whole systems of funnels and conspiracy to herd people into trust vulnerability specifically to abuse them, whether it's spooks or advertisers
the modern statutes of governments are actually fraud anyway (they are statutes, and you have to be an agent of the issuer of statutes to be bound by them) it wasn't even that long ago that you didn't need a passport or ID, they just slowly normalised that with driver's licenses and student IDs and such like, corporate fascist fraud that by accepting these registrations you are then effectively an unpaid agent of the state, which is not what they openly say to you but that's what they impute by the way they drag you into courts over offenses against their rules, when it used to be you would only be in a court in a case where some other person was claiming you harmed them
they make their rules so byzantine it's almost impossible to really fight back and by their rules you admit to being subject to their laws and then they have you
this is why i stay the fuck away from large populations full of people who have been duped by this scam and even help the racket continue with their stupidity and snitching
so the new school is lie, cheat and scam?
we need the old school back then
IMO most meat is still ridiculously so full of blood and it messes with the taste of it, the salt removes some of it but letting the meat drain and dry a little tiny bit is better IMO, i almost always hang my beef up to drain out for half a day or so - i only get it frozen so it's basically killed and stuck in a freezer wrapped in plastic immediately
A lot of hormones in your foods over there 💪
Why do American women have such deep masculine voices lol
Yes, look for a vaguely elliptical outline rash. Get tested. Simple antibiotics will kill it.
I'm not rich enough for it to be noticeable
Oh fun... That's from ticks, right? I did do some outside stuff recently
Don't make us richer this way. 🤭
That's how it felt when I got Lyme disease.
What is America?🤔

THIS is how EVERY human state on the planet operates. It is the heart of the government where YOU live. It's time to WAKE UP, people, and admit that you have pledged your allegiance to a system run by demons: https://peakd.com/anarchy/@creatr/human-governments-are-satanic
We're cursed with lives too short. You attain some measure of wisdom and are promptly shown the door out of this world.
Inviolable property is certainly a necessary part of whatever the complete solution looks like. That's bitcoin.
Some biological breakthrough yet to come is another... How many more risks could we afford to take if we weren't needing healthcare at the ripe old age of 40? Its ridiculous. It mist be a cosmic joke, how rapidly our health fails, and how dependent and indebted we are to the system that seems designed to kill us.
And education is another component, and I think it will require the most vigilance out of all the problems. The people are retarded... What are we even doing if people come out of the education system dumber than dogshit?
So... Yeah. There ya go. I think I forgot the context.
Hello darkness my old friend 🐸
But that's the problem - monarchies, which are dictatorships, are easily destroyed by a democracy. Democracies can tax much much much more because people think they have a say - it doesn't matter if its not true ; what matters is how much the parasites can take because then they have a higher budget for purposes such as war. The monarch has to have the people on his side, or the oligarchs will kill him and rule by republic, so the monarch can never tax as hard as would be necessary to fight off an aggressive republic or democracy.
Anyone ever had their limberness suddenly decrease? Like, ability to stretch. Idk why, but in the last 2 days, I suddenly can't stretch, and its a weird bruised pain feeling when I try.
Additionally :
Carrying someone else's opinions, instead of earning your own, is a sign of weak character. Unearned opinions are heavy and they anchor you in whatever pigsty you currently wallow in.

Good info, thanks for sharing.

An open question in my mind: if Bitcoin reaches mass adoption and the overwhelming majority of participants are statist cucks using regulatory compliant services, can the ecosystem retain censorship resistance?

Those "tall white" aliens/angels do seem to be here. And one is using the name of St. Germain to run a cult, and who knows what they do with the members.
I doubt there's gonna be an evac, though. If that was in the cards, it would've made sense to do it the first time... I think the choice is either serve them or fight them, and I prefer the fight.
The dark Sith stuff is just an idea for fun. I'm totally Light side, though. I can't even manage dark side in a game... And Catholic mass is definitely the most beautiful out of all the different versions.

I’ll have to digest that and think about it. You’re cleverer than me. But thanks 😉🤙
i'm pretty sure taproot schnorr signatures are quantum resistant, same reason why most blockchains are using edwards ed25519 twisted curves the signature algorithm is basically the same, just a different number group, i don't see how quantum computers can reverse a truncated hash though (bitcoin addresses are a partial digest of the public key), because that's what quantum attacks are, where you reverse the public key into the secret key, and that's why you are not supposed to reuse addresses
I’m sure there’ll be alot of talk upcoming on it all
And that will still happen on the old chain, they don't need to move to the new fork.
Seems nefarious to me on first thought

yeah, nah, that dark stuff doesn't appeal to me at all, and yeah i did some stuff, writing in my own blood and all a long time ago
my path to re-conversion started with a miracle that came while i was practising prayer
and then learning about the likely physical existence of these tall, pale angel type humans and their amazing technology, i'm like, Jesus is real man, a real man he will be leading the army that comes to clean up the trash, run an evac, because they knew already even before Noah that there was gonna be another, even worse catastrophe that would require a full intervention, just like it says in all the books, in Enoch it even says literally almost exactly that (that they failed to exclude the fallen angel spawn from the contents of the Ark)
anyway, that's the other thing about these portuguese Fatima catholics - they believe in the literal reality of angels and ascended saints and them appearing as though in person, so it's quite the same thing, i think
the main stream of roman catholicism sorta tries to ignore that stuff a bit more, like, the Enoch texts were missing from europe for hundreds of years but really all they mainly confirm is basically that this stuff is real and it's happening and they are coming soon
plus i quite like they run their services, the masses are beautiful rituals
OMG same. 😂🥰 Also heartily recommend @Mleku.

He's saying there is only one fundamental force, rather than 4. Weak and strong nuclear forces and gravity are all attributes of magnetism and electricity. There is no 'spacetime'. That is what is used to try and explain gravity and the bending of light.
This is exactly as have I come to understand it, completing the puzzle by incorporating the dielectric field as the only real field of which magnetism is the attribute.
If you're interested, I think it was quite a good discussion to listen to:
https://youtu.be/SSTltY_NTFM
Gravity never belonged in the 4 fundamental forces. Its silly and unnecessary - if it arises from bending spacetime, then it need not inhere in particles.
🤔 the past controls the future, but the present controls the past. 🐓🐓🐓
Gravity also isn't a fundamental force. They're starting to admit it.

Good move. And you'll officially be a Cat-holic.
I've thought of starting the catechizing process just so I could quit and pretend to be a Sith, and go from wearing white and singing to wearing black robes and chanting and drawing sigils and hexes.
it looks nice for a subtropical climate but it looks awful for a temperate climate
plain old thatching and wood frames are better even for subtropical climates (that was the norm here in #madeira until a couple hundred years ago)
i think you could extend this steel pole frame geodesic stuff to be suitable for colder climates if you do double layers, but i have lived in the cold, there is NO WAY this building is any good if your winter temps go below 12`C
best is ammonia and microfibre, ime
yeah go is amazing, and one can really appreciate how much thought went into it by trying to build stuff and realised bit by bit why things are the way they are
seriously tho, i gotta tell this
i have been feeding my cat on tuna in brine and cooked beef and veal
his fur is so silky, and his affect is so positive, i mean, it's clearly the right way to feed your cat
i feed him a bit of other stuff, mainly pasteurised stuff but the more i see the results of feeding him real food the more i'm like, it's not just "feed them only meat" it's "feed them actual meat that you would eat"
i am starting to find that my http://mleku.realy.lol/api relay is now starting to be enough for me, and all the cool people i want to talk to are posting to it
decentralization is a social thing
holy crap that is long
i can give the most info in a few lines
"fine filtration by scrolling tissue/kitchen towel/toilet paper in a funnel stem"
this is number one most important step
"putting the water through recently generated charcoal before filtering" is the second most important thing, it catches all the bacteria and microplastics and bullshit
i have been catching water and processing it exactly this way for a couple of months now and i think that it has contributed to my and my cats health (as has eating a lot of beef and veal)

Emergency Water Storage for the Collapse
Most people preparing for the collapse of society tend to focus on food. What they may be missing is that they can only survive 3 days without drinking water. In the grand scheme of things, water storage and collection may be more important than any other survival need.
Unlike stockpiling food, water stockpiling and storage has some limits. The average American uses 100 to 175 gallons of water a day. That’s the common usage assuming ample water supplies and availability, but even on a pure survival ration, one person requires at least a gallon of water a day.
For an average family of 4 that, comes to almost 30 gallons a week, and that’s just for drinking water. That doesn’t include water for cooking, washing, or any of the other uses we have for water on a daily basis. And here’s the dilemma with water storage.
You can stockpile food to make meals over a significant period of time in a relatively small space, assuming you have foods stockpiled with high nutrient density and calories. But water is different. Water is water.
It has a given volume in terms of size and weight, and there’s no such thing as concentrated water. This gets to one of the most critical aspects of any survival preparedness: sustainability.
Table Of Contents
Water Sustainability
You need to be able to not only store water but replenish it on a regular basis. Even the largest water storage tanks will eventually run dry. Sustainability is important with food as well, but stored water will run out long before your stored foods.
Given that we can’t live 3 days without water, the whole subject of water collection, purification, and storage looms as one of the greatest challenges to survival after the collapse. Complicating matters is that our water is not only getting more expensive but, in some parts of the world, impossible to find.
Today’s Harsh Water Realities
Rivers around the world are drying up from the Mississippi to the Colorado River to the Nile to the Amazon to the Danube to the Yellow River in China.
Lakes around the world are disappearing across every continent.
Lake Mead and Lake Powell, the two largest reservoirs in the United States are at their lowest levels.
People in countries around the world have lost almost all access to safe drinking water. It’s currently estimated that 1 in 3 people in the world don’t have access to safe water.
Where Has All the Water Gone?
Drought is the easy answer. Climate change is affecting areas around the world, and water scarcity is often the outcome. Around the world, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs are shrinking.
Worse, deep underground aquifers that hold billions of gallons of water miles deep are being tapped for irrigation exhausting their supply and leaving our water world without fresh water.
But like so many things, it’s more complicated than drought.
Earth Water Facts
Farming represents the greatest use of water. In fact, standard irrigation practices waste more water than they actually use. It usually results in trenches and channels of water arbitrarily directed toward crops in the ground with the assumption that some of the water will reach the roots of the crops. Most is lost to evaporation or the ground in general.
Pollution has compromised water for drinking. Even common agricultural fertilizers have contaminated water, and the contamination from improper sewage treatment and practices, industrial chemicals and heavy metal flushed into rivers and lakes, and the hazardous chemicals leaching from landfills have all contributed to a toxic water supply in areas around the world.
Climate change continues to affect our water supplies. Droughts continue to affect regions around the world and in some areas, flooding promises no solution as flood waters absorb toxic contaminants and funnel them back to rivers and lakes. Flooding would seem like a solution, but in an era of climate change, the flooding is often abrupt and infrequent, but just enough to flush toxic materials from a flood plain into aquifers, reservoirs, and rivers.
Even rainwater has let us down as our most promising source of available water. Atmospheric contamination from airborne industrial pollutants, emissions from internal combustion engines, and other airborne sources have made much of our rainwater far from pure. Forever chemicals taint all of our water supplies from the oceans to a summer drizzle of rain. As a natural water source, rain may continue to be the purest choice, but even bird droppings and other airborne contaminants on tree leaves can make the simplest collection of rainwater more complicated.
But Aren’t We a Water Planet?
Most definitely. But most of the water on Earth is saltwater. And yes, saltwater can be desalinated to create fresh water, but the process is complicated and expensive on a large scale.
Water on Earth
Even then, our oceans have become cesspools for garbage and sewage as countries around the world continue to use oceans as a vast, invisible dump, resulting in massive floating islands of garbage and debris.
Ocean Garbage Pollution
As far as fresh water is concerned, most of it is locked up in the icecaps. Much more is deep underground, and the surface water that seems so abundant is becoming increasingly polluted and drained away for agriculture, industry, and continual evaporation.
Where Is Earth’s Water?
And that surface water only represents 1% of all fresh water on Earth. According to the National Geographic Society, only 1.2 % of the total freshwater on Earth is drinkable, and that amount is diminishing rapidly.
And It’s No Easier At Home
Some people have wells, and others depend on municipal water supplies. Both are getting worse. Aquifers supplying wells are diminishing or getting polluted, and municipal water is getting more and more expensive.
Worse, even municipal water supplies are becoming compromised with e-coli contamination and other chemicals and heavy metals. As wells run dry and municipal water becomes more expensive, it represents a closing gap of water insecurity. After a collapse of basic services and local infrastructure, that gap will increase and our local water may simply run out, be unavailable, or become the most expensive utility bill we have.
In the ultimate irony, lack of water has caused the collapse of societies at least five times in the past.
Exploring Solutions
Emergency water security is defined by the ability to gather and purify water and effectively store it in a safe way. We’re going to cover 3 basics steps for water security following a collapse:
Water Harvesting
Water Treatment, Filtering, and Purification
Water Storage
Water Harvesting
Rainwater
For most people around the world, rainwater is the most democratic water source. It’s delivered to your home, and it’s free. For many people, it’s the only reliable source of water assuming, droughts don’t dominate our weather.
The trick is having the design and the equipment to capture rainwater and funnel it to a storage tank. The roofs of homes and outbuildings are the best and easiest options given their size and the way they are designed to direct water to gutters and downspouts.
The simple addition of a specialized downspout allows you to direct the water towards a length of attached hose or tubing that can easily deliver it to a collection barrel or tank.
Rainwater Harvest Downspout
Many rain collection barrels have spigots towards the bottom that make drawing water easier.
Rainwater Storage Tank
Other solutions include the use of suspended tarps. This is an effective solution for someone living in an apartment where a patio or other outdoor access can allow for at least some level of rainwater collection. One constant caution is to never assume that unpurified rainwater is always safe to drink.
Tarp as a Raincatcher
Finally, some people have success capturing and channeling rainwater from natural areas including cliffs, large rock sheets, or mountains in wilderness areas. Look for the runoff and figure out some way to capture and direct it to a collection barrel or jug.
The only downside is that it may become contaminated as a result of running over the surface of the ground. Make sure you always filter your rainwater.
Springs and Creeks
Springs and Creeks
Flowing water is another good option for a natural water source as opposed to the still or stagnant waters in a pond or swamp. The flow of water aerates it and to some degree minimizes the growth of harmful bacteria.
On the downside, any flowing water is exposed to a range of potential contaminants along its course.
Spring At Its Source
The water tends to be purest towards its source, but as it travels it has the potential to pick up runoff from fields, dumps, sewage, and other contaminants. Generally, the smaller the spring or creek and the closer to the source, the better the water quality.
Most of us don’t have a convenient spring, creek, or other natural water source in our backyards. That means we have to transport any water we harvest. One solution is portable and stackable 5-gallon water jugs.
Stackable Water Jugs
The water will still need to be filtered and purified, but at least you’ll have a chance at getting the water home. Better yet, you’ll have a portable way to transport water in the event of a bug out.
Another possible solution is a RAM pump if you live in close proximity to a spring, creek, or river with a suitable flow of water to power the RAM.
Ram Pump
RAM pumps will deliver water up an incline to collection barrels or drums and will pump and run 24/7 without any external power as long as the current flow is consistent and the pump is not clogged with debris.
Ponds and Lakes
Pond and Shrubs
The quality of water from a pond or lake is proportional to its size and location. Small, stagnant ponds are often prime breeding grounds for bacteria while larger lakes are more resilient to bacterial breeding, especially if they are deep and have any significant wave action.
Lake and Land
Location and temperature also have effects on water quality. Cold, deep water lakes will typically offer less contamination especially in high, mountainous areas. Ponds during summer are particularly prone to bacterial growth, and any harvest needs to be significantly filtered and purified.
Rivers
River and Trees
Rivers continue to be a source of water for municipalities, agriculture, and industry. The relative purity of the water depends a lot on location, and the amount of pollutants that find their way into river over its course. Even if the water looks clear and clean, it should be filtered and purified before drinking or storing.
Wells
If the power is out and you have no way to generate electricity, you can still harvest water from a well standpipe using a galvanized well bucket.
It involves using a long, metal tube suspended on a rope that is lowered into the well standpipe. A slip valve at the bottom of the pipe allows water to enter, and as the well bucket is lifted, the weight on the rope closes the valve, allowing you to retrieve 2 gallons of water at a time.
If all else fails you can try digging your own well, but you have to understand the way to read local geography to start in the best spot.
Swimming Pools
Any size swimming pool can not only hold water but serve as a great catch basic for rainwater funneled from rooftops. A cover over the pool will prevent leaves and sticks from collecting. Swimming pool water is safe to drink, but you need to remove the chlorine and purify it the way you would treat any other harvested water.
Grey Water
Grey water is water that has already been used and can be reused for another purpose. Water that has been used for bathing can be used to flush a toilet. Water that has been used to wash dishes or laundry can be upcycled to water a garden, clean the mud off vehicles and equipment, or for any other use other than drinking or cooking.
In a time when water is scarce, grey water is a required solution for additional water needs. It can be stored in 5 gallon buckets, but make sure it is clearly marked as grey water and kept in a place that’s apart from purified water storage.
Salt Water
Salt water can be desalinated either through captured evaporation or desalinators.
Desalinating is a complicated process, and desalinators are not cheap, but if all you have easy access to is salt water, it may be a necessary expense.
Salt Water Desalinator
PH as a Water Quality Factor
Water pH also affects a water biome with acidic mountain streams sometimes known as “freestone” streams, offering less biological contamination due to the acidic nature of the water.
Streams, creeks, and rivers that have a higher and more alkaline pH will often become a prime environment for plant growth and a breeding ground for aquatic life including bacteria. These water sources are sometimes known as “limestone” creeks and rivers, and any lake or pond they feed will have significant bacterial populations.
A more important aspect of water pH is its affect on overall water quality.
Alkalinity Chart
The pH scale actually is numbered from 1 to 14, but things at the extreme ends of the scale fall in the category of battery acid and lye. This particular chart demonstrates various liquids including waters and their general quality from bad to ideal. Generally, water that measures towards the alkaline end of the pH scale is better quality than water that measures towards the acidic end of the scale.
What’s critical is that you have the ability to test your water after harvest, test again after filtering, and purification and again after any length of time in storage.
There are water test kits that test across a variety of measures from bacteria to heavy metals and pH. Use them—especially if you are harvesting from natural sources like ponds, lakes, and rivers.
Water Treatment Kit
Water Treatment, Filtration and Purification
The degree to which anyone treats, filters, and purifies water depends on the source and any indications from testing. Well water is the source typically treated by a variety of systems, but even water from municipal supplies is worth evaluating for potential treatment or purification. Water derived directly from natural sources like lakes, rivers and creeks should always be tested regularly and at least filtered and purified.
This is especially true during emergency situations following any disaster when natural water sources are subject to pollutants from flooding, debris, or other contaminants introduced to the water sources as a result of the disaster.
It’s also important to understand the 3 ways that water can be made safe to drink and generally safe to use.
1. Treatment
Treatment is a term often used to describe a process that removes metals and other chemicals from water, particularly iron. In some cases, it does nothing more with the assumption that further processes will improve the overall quality of the water. Iron filters and water softeners are an example of water treatment.
2. Filtration
Filtration typically defines a process that removes particulate matter from water. It’s particulate matter that often makes water cloudy or colored, and effective filtration should leave the water clear and transparent. However, just because the water appears to be clean and clear doesn’t mean that it’s safe to drink until it has been effectively purified.
3. Purification
Purification is often the final step in water treatment. It is designed to kill bacterial, viral, and fungal contaminants to make the water safe to drink. Some water filters combine all 3 steps with various filters designed to treat, filter, and purify the water. It all depends on how contaminated the raw water is and the amount of water that needs to be processed.
Methods Used for Water Treatment, Filtration and Purification
Iron Filter
Iron Filters
Iron filters are typically used to treat well water and trap ferric iron. Some iron filters use oxidation to convert ferrous iron to ferric iron, which can be trapped and removed from the water. Do your research if you have well water or water from any source that tests positive for iron, and you want to treat the water before use.
Water Softeners
Water Softener
Water softeners also treat nonorganic contaminants in water, including iron. It uses coils of copper to attract and collect the molecules of metal compounds then uses salt water from salt pellets to rinse the coils for continued use.
They are not as effective, with water showing high concentrations of iron, particularly ferric iron, so an iron filter is often used in conjunction with a softener as a first step for treatment of water with high levels of iron.
This again assumes your well is still operating, although wells may be one of the best options after the collapse, assuming you either have or can generate electric power to operate the well.
Inline Water filters
Inline Water Filters
These are water filters that are typically installed under a sink between the water supply and the faucet. The filter cartridges are easily interchangeable, but a word of warning: If the water contains a high amount of inorganic contaminants like metals, an under-sink inline water filter can quickly become overwhelmed, requiring frequent filter changes.
Most inline water filters are designed for water from municipal water sources that have had some degree of treatment before distribution to homes, or well water that has been treated with either an iron filter, water softener, or both.
Faucet Filters
Faucet Water Filter
Faucet filters attach directly to a faucet in a sink and are inexpensive, easy to use, and the filters are easy to change. The caution gets back to the overall quality of the water.
They’re better than nothing, but any water that is heavily saturated with metals like iron or other contaminants will quickly overwhelm a faucet filter, resulting in a very slow flow of water when the filter is engaged and frequent filter changes. A lot also depends on whether or not you can still get water out of the tap at the sink.
Kitchen Water Filter
Kitchen Water Filter
Water filters built into 1 and 2 gallon pitchers and containers have become very popular over the last few years. Brita is a common brand many people are familiar with. Tap water is poured into the top of the pitcher and a replaceable filter traps varying degrees of contaminants to further purify the water.
It’s an easy and economical solution to water filtration, but once again, the overall quality of the water will affect how long the filters last before requiring replacement. Many of these pitchers have an indicator telling you when it’s time to change the filter.
If for some reason the water is not running from the kitchen faucet, this gives you a way to filter and store water in the kitchen where clean water is most often needed.
Countertop Water Filter
Countertop Gravity Fed Water Filters and Purifiers
Think of these as a pitcher water filter on steroids. They usually are designed to sit on a countertop, although some are free standing. They are designed to hold and filter a large quantity of water—up to 3 gallons at a time.
The filters are also easy to replace, but once again, the overall quality of the water will affect how long the filters last.
Portable Water Filters and Purifiers
Portable Water Filter
These are typically positioned as camping and backpacking water filters and purifiers, although they can be used in any emergency. They are small, handheld, and use a small pump or lever with a hose attached to the filter housing to draw the water from a source with another small hose to distribute the filtered water.
Some have a ceramic filter to remove microbes and other organic contaminants, and the filters are easily interchangeable. They make sense for onsite water harvesting from ponds and creeks to at least get a head start on water purification while you collect it.
Water Treatment Tablets for Immediate Use
Water Purification Tablets
Water treatment tablets were originally designed for use by the military and have found their way to campers, hikers, and backpackers. They are either iodine or chlorine based and are used to kill microbes in drinking water.
The typical duration for disinfecting is 30 minutes, and there are also neutralizing tablets sometimes used to reduce the off flavors from the iodine or chlorine. A common brand name is Potable-Aqua.
Water Treatments for Long-Term Storage
Water Storage Treatment
Even water that has been treated, filtered, and purified is subject to contamination over a long duration. A chemical water treatment designed to inhibit the growth of microbes and fungus for long-term water storage is a wise decision.
The Basics of Boiling for Purification
The simplest and most direct approach to water purification for immediate use is boiling. The minimum time for disinfecting water through boiling is 3 minutes. And don’t assume that bringing water to a brief boil before using it for cooking will be effective.
Boil the water for 3 full minutes before adding any other ingredients for cooking. If in doubt about any previously purified and stored water, boil it for 3 minutes.
One thing to remember is that boiling will not clarify murky or muddy water. Filter it first, and if you don’t have immediate access to a filter, you can always improvise one to clarify the water before boiling.
Water Storage
Water storage after the collapse is a whole different proposition than stockpiling some water for a few days without power after a natural disaster. It’s a time to think about serious and long-term storage. That means you’ll need to think about storing not only large quantities but also smaller amounts that will be easily portable around the house.
The fact of the matter is that without easy access to running water, the whole task of water collection, purification, and storage will become a daily chore. We’ll cover a range of storage solutions, and some of the implications of storing water.
Date Your Water Storage
Any stored water should be purified in clean containers and marked with the date it was bottled and stored. Any grey water from a previous use should also be marked as grey water, dated, and used as soon as possible. Grey water is the water most likely to contain residual bacteria, and it will spoil quickly.
A Note on BPA’s
Many plastics contain BPA’s. BPA stands for bisphenol A, an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1950s. BPA is found in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Polycarbonate plastics are often used in containers that store food and beverages, such as water bottles. They may also be used in other consumer goods.
Some research has shown that BPA can seep into food or beverages from containers that are made with BPA. Exposure to BPA is a concern because of the possible health effects on the brain and prostate gland of fetuses, infants, and children. It can also affect children's behavior. Additional research suggests a possible link between BPA and increased blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Many plastic storage containers are marked as “BPA Free.” Look for those markings before using any container for long-term storage. In the short term you may be okay, but if you want to be on the safe side, BPA-free is the way to go.
From Canning Jars to Holding Tanks
How you store your water depends a lot on how you use it. As a general rule, it makes sense to have some water stored in portable containers and a good amount of water in larger drums and tanks. You’ll also need to give some thought to how you draw the water from a large barrel or tank, although many come with spigots installed.
Here are the possibilities for a range of water storage solutions:
Half Gallon Glass Canning Jar
Glass Canning Jars
The great thing about storing water in glass canning jars is that they can be processed and tightly sealed, allowing for long-term storage without the addition of chemical treatments for extended storage. Larger jars up to ½ gallon sizes make the most sense.
1-Gallon Water Jugs
1-Gallon Water Jug
Having some water stored in 1-gallon jugs makes for a highly portable solution, whether getting some water to the kitchen or the bathroom or taking it on the road.
5-Gallon Bottles
5-Gallon Water Jug
These are the large water bottles you usually see sitting on top of water coolers. They are usually BPA-free, and the water has been purified and the bottles commercially sealed.
Most importantly, they’re reusable, and while they aren’t as portable as smaller containers, they’re relatively inexpensive and a proven water storage solution. You can also buy the empty jugs online.
You can also buy fairly inexpensive water coolers to hold the jugs and make dispensing easy.
5-Gallon Buckets
5-Gallon Buckets
5-gallon buckets can be used not only for water storage, but they are a great way to collect and transport water. They’ll be heavy but light enough to allow for transport. A gallon of water weighs 7.5 pounds, so a 5-gallon bucket will be upwards of 35 pounds total.
There are also lids that can be attached, but any water stored in 5-gallon buckets should be purified and treated with a water treatment if storage extends beyond a couple of weeks. Make sure they are “food grade” plastic and BPA-free.
45 to 55 Gallon Water Barrels
55-Gallon Water Barrel
There are specially designed water barrels for water storage that are usually in 45 to 55 gallon sizes. Most of them are blue in collar, BPA-free, and have a bung hole in the top with a locking cap. A hand pump is most commonly used to draw water from the barrel. Any water stored in a container this size should have a water treatment added.
What’s critical is that they be stored on a sturdy and well-supported floor space. A 55-gallon barrel will weigh up to 400 pounds. Combining more than one barrel in one space can overwhelm a poorly supported floor.
A concrete slab is the best location in a basement or garage, but for those living in an apartment or high-rise condo, be mindful of the weight of any large-capacity water storage.
Large Capacity Water Storage
White Water Tank
There are commercially manufactured water barrels and tanks that can hold up to 550 gallons of water. Most are located at ground level on a well-supported foundation. 550 gallons of water weighs 4,000 pounds, or two tons. They’re typically stored outdoors or on a concrete slab in a garage or basement.
Home Water Towers
Water towers depend on gravity to feed water from a large tank to a home or building.
Water Tower
The amount of support and structural integrity needed for a water tower is significant, but many people avoid the danger of a poorly designed tower structure by placing a water tank on a nearby hill or rise that is above the level of the home or building. That allows water to be delivered by gravity, although a pumping mechanism will be needed to refill the tank in addition to a nearby source of fresh water.
Ram pumps in a nearby spring creek or river are often used to fill these kinds of water tanks on homesteads. The water from the towers usually has to be purified for drinking, but it is typically used directly from the tank for general watering of vegetable gardens and washing.
The Best Solution is the One You Can Afford
The good news with long-term water storage is that it’s typically a one-time investment. The bad news is that some of these solutions can be expensive.
The key thing is to obviously do the best you can and both remember and understand that water is one of our most critical needs for survival. If all you can do is put a swimming pool in the backyard, that’s a good head start for long-term emergency water security. Then again, some of us would prefer that water tower.

yeah i'm just gonna say it tho
the secret sauce in the mochi-healing was this
BEEEEEEEEEF
cow meat is medicine
i mean, i honestly can't get over how quickly he is responding to this medicine i have been giving him, he's like almost starting to play with me, still runs away when the play starts but he's getting better
also i just gotta say, i forgot how nice it is in machico... but i'm not fond of any part of this island on teh south, but i might say machico is the nicest town in the south of #madeira
also having driven past faial i'm quite interested in that massive rock and there is a bunch of houses on the west side of that rock, it's an amazing stone that rock at faial.
anyway, just gonna say
if you carnivore, and understand beef is medicine, you should feed your carnivore pets also with beef, it makes them so strong, i mean, seriously, i did this, even grain fed argentine beef, and this little monster is incredibly fast healing
haha, one of the few japanese things i remembered from studying it
ohayo gozaimasu
my japanese is so foggy though, but apparently i was the star student in that class back then
i almost feel bad to decline the second meeting with the cat doctor
but honestly, i have lived with this little monster for some time now (about 10 weeks) and he did not seem at all like as sick as the outward signs showed, it's like, this little guy is a natural born stoic, he's holding all his energy in to keep the enemy at bay and, well, taking the pain
it just feels like the doc gave the prescription for what will resolve all the things, and i just have to give him all the treatments and it will be fine after that, and i don't really need to take the long 45 minute trip to the vet again when he's gonna be tearing my house up playing in 5 days time due to the correct prescription
argh, i'm torn
I had such a heavy allergic reaction today eyes red and sneezing every 5 seconds left the area and feel so much better
I am so confused what it was
I have to say i'm kinda impressed with #mochi the #catstr after his visit to the good vet
the vet literally said he was surprised he was still eating with the level of inflammation he observed in his ear (ear infection)
my mochi is a tough little dude
he is also very talkative, he keeps on signalling to me even though he's ok, in a half asleep state
i think he wants me to take him up to the bed and snuggle, he's really insistent, he keeps on chirping at me, but, sorta different to usual
i'm kinda like
ok, vet wants me to bring him back
but i think his prescription is gonna totally cure him because he's carved out of wood this one
i want to see how he goes after tomorrow's treatments, but his behaviour is changing quite quickly, he clearly seems to understand that i'm healing him
i said that he seems like one of the smartest cats i've ever had, and i'm not joking, this kittah is like buddah
fennel, dill and liquorice are all sweet flavors you can use, and to get spicy you could make chilli and ginger and turmeric and ... what does doctor pepper use? it's not cinnamon is it?
also should mention anise, which is kinda something in between sweet and spicy
it also depends on which side of the propertarian devide they sit, and IMO opensats and HRF are red as stalin
🤔 if the archons of the world (globalists, statists, their minions - leftists) want fewer humans, then we should respond to their conspiracy with one of our own - reproduce as much as possible as a "GFY 🖕" to these demons.
Thank you! Testable.
Okay, it's asking for my pin, which I can't remember, so all good
Oh Odell is funding it? I stopped watching his thing after finding out he's a VC. Granted, I only found out because he said so, but it doesn't change the fact that VC's have a different priority than anarchists, even if they're currently playing on the same team.
the beauty of Go is it lets you learn architecture
almost no other language makes it viable to build something while being retarded but then also lead you to actually designing your architecture correctly
i seriously could not have broken into dev without this smooth flow, but very few devs in other ecosystems even understand this... it's because Go was written by old timers who have been running dev teams for eons. it makes it easier to progress from one point to the next, and what they have done since 1.22 is amazing, i mean, they have basically swatted away all the whines about "why doesn't go have this feature" with the most elegant implementation of actually more flexible features than exist... they will be playing catch up soon

mmm, you gave me some things to think about. Thanks!
yeah, it's an awful situation, me and my circle on nostr are all pretty much fed up with the garbage that opensats and odell and co are paying for, it's garbage, it's insecure, it's not private, it's extremely inefficient, and it's impeding the progress of the protocol's adoption
i have a personal vendetta against PEG, it stopped me cooking my own drugs, and it was my cuntrymen bitches in the canberra "health" bureaucracy that instituded this psychotic plan to "stop small meth cooks"
yeah, because nothing says you care about people like demanding drug companies poison their medicines.
He is beholden to whoever is paying him. I argued with him about that pronoun input box that apparently newer versions have and it became super obvious that he was repeating canned lines fed to him by VCs or something similar

i HATE THE FUCK out of these polyethylene glycol based standard gums these days, they are so mushy and soluble and fucking carcinogenic
bring back chicle
well, that's where i work, so for me it's more of a pain to run some shit on my phone that i hate that is written by a smarmy dick i also kinda hate also
being commitment-shy is kinda gay also, i mean, not saying that you are gay but i know you read i ching and there is stuff in there about constancy and stillness
hm am i being rude? idk, i don't mean it rude
i just hate that amethyst dev guy, he is riding high on the hog and doesn't really have any accountability to actual users, only the leet bitcoiners who pay him
Is it just begging? I haven't tapped the button to see if there's a confirmation step or if it just takes

it would be sweet if alby hub users could find and offer to open channels to each other
i have been stung twice now with channel partners who broke interop with alby hub's back end and that would not happen with other alby hub dudez
funny enough my current fiat mine gig is exactly writing a database system that helps build matches between users, i know it's probably not that adjacent with lightning but... i'm just gonna float that in the air... this could be a thing, alby on alby action... very smooth

being that you should be awake to receive messages and attend to your business and i've waited fully 12 hours i'm force closing it
not using lnserver again
maybe you should raise your fee basis so you can pay for people to maintain your nodes properly
i don't want to force close it, this is not how it should be
it's not very fun having a big channel go offline like this, really, please respond, i sended message on Telegram
yeah, the interesting thing is that a lot of what you have done is similar to what relayer does though you aren't using interfaces where they should be (just reading RelayFunctions right now) if you make those individual methods into individual interfaces you can optionally process with them in the main thread
also i noticed a lot of these methods you have a client type as the first parameter, this is a red flag you should be making the client type as an implementation type of the interface and then you can leave the rest out and you can use those methods anywhere if they are present (relayer does this with auth and several other things)
yestr, collaboration and pollination of ideas is how we win
🤔 robotic "life" would eventually have to evolve into biological life because chemical diffusion can complete faster across smaller volumes, which gives a competitive advantage to smaller organisms.
A virus has an advantage over a prokaryotic bacterium, and a prokaryotic bacterium has an advantage over eukaryotes, in the same way a tree is vastly more efficient than a solar panel.

running alby hub with LDK back end
maybe you did an upgrade that broke interop with LDK?
i hope you are looking into it
yeah, it's a shame that kind 1 notes don't have the ability to do any kind of rich text formatting like even the most basic thing of quoting
i have used argon2 in the Go implementation on several occasions as a KDF, and speaking of Go, most distros still only have 1.18 Go and it's way further ahead now, and a lot of things you can do since 1.22 are not compatible with 1.18 or less

🤔 what if all the virtues of a culture are squeezed out by the vice of cognitive dissonance?
The Second Realm strategy is about creating pockets of freedom within a tyrannical society, focusing on building autonomous zones where individuals can live freely despite the state's presence.
it is very simple indeed, it may take me some time to soak in the architecture, i will feed back soon
There’s only a limited amount of sats, yet even with the stocks collapsing, and bitcoin still at 80 odd thousand, you still feel it’s risky ?! Boy oh boy you’re in for a shock
i have cloned rely and i will give it some good reading to figure out what this is about
modularity has not been a big focus with my work as i have kinda stringent definitions about what should be what and although i think that the existing mute/follow event data is probably not a final state the principle still applies (as in, whatever scheme can be used to assign white and black lists to nostr:npubs for a relay are still valid, i'm just working on a N=2 distance for what should be whitelisted, on the basis of the "friends and guests" model, as i am calling it).
i will of course steal all the good ideas i see in your code and add them to mine, and i cheer at the inception of a new relay architecture that is focused to your project's needs
we will collude to create better designs, because we share them with each other and find economically productive or at least theoretically efficient ways to do things that didn't exist before
I think you'll find it very simple :)
Let me know any feedback sir
i know nothing about your relay architecture at this point, i have not cloned and browsed it
i will, soon, because i suspect that you have caught some things that i missed, this is why i am FOSS... sharing code means improvements in architecture and that has impacts on both developers and efficiency
well, i am sure there will be cross pollination
i broke a lot of things in the event and filter types as per the API but i did it for reasons that made it easier to use, so, i understand that migrating will be some work
i'm just gonna say though
my codecs are the fastest, idk about other languages but they are the fastest nostr json codecs for standard minified json, by like 30% or more; i spent a lot of time making them minimal and i have even now made it so you can even throw pretty printed json at it, if you must, and it will handle it (turned out my code didn't swallow the whitespace so well, as i expected, so it falls back to stdlib json encoder library if it sees whitespace in the message
@nprofile…fngn I think you are conflating khatru and rely. When I say that rely took inspiration from khatru, I mean that I copied the ease of use (users supply their rely functions), but the inner working is completely different. completely.
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.
y u no publish it on nostr via habla or highlighter?
I really **_really_** like this song... piece... If music doesn't have singing, is it a song?

relayer breaks apart the interfaces and composes them, and that lets you extract them if they exist to do interface specific things
https://realy.lol contains primarily libraries, the codebase parts of the actual relay are trivial compared to the library parts
the big long top level directory is that way because it makes importing things simpler, and lays out all the parts with human readable names from top to bottom. it's not quite idiomatic but when you see how much it cleans up your import blocks and makes them understandable you will agree
relayer, also, part of why i preferred it, is better at managing the number of threads in the websocket listeners, i had a huge problem with khatru's socket design that made it unsuitable for production in even... i mean, can you imagine? i don't even understand how khatru based relays are still functioning the excessive amount of threading they use
also, yeah, not to forget, i totally flattened the concurrency of the event store, so, it also is a solution for that, excessive amounts of threads in each query were a component of the resource leak problem i found with khatru/eventstore design
i have also added, btw, an index to the event store that lets you go from event serial to having the pubkey, event ID and created_at of the event, without having to decode any JSON, this was built to enable the different API i made that the /filter endpoint only returns event IDs, meaning the client can then paginate them arbitrarily, without pushing that work to the relay
there are some cases where it's better to paginate on the networked DB and i don't think that the client use case is that, this way, clients can grab a whole massive list of event IDs matching a query and pick at them as the user wants to see them
This is an awesome response. I'm gonna try to remember this
Here's why :

Unrelated, but (or is it?) 47 is provably the most commonly hit random number on a scale of 1 to 100. Randomness is lumpy - now **_that's_** a cause for existential concern...

well, i'm so far away from this whole thing but it feels like yesterday maybe i will start putting some energy into it
just had so much other things to sort out (kidney problems, money, etc) that i had been offline for all of this but i'm back on on the task now, starting to think about it more
i would like it more if you would help me make #realy more modular
relayer has better architecture and realy was forked from that base
i'm not pleased about how much features i have plugged into realy at this point, i wish i could tease them apart and make them pluggable and modular, but i think that the http protocol is going to be a big deal and to make it viable it has to have the old protocol and the new experimental protocol available at teh same time or it isn't really useful for new protocol clients
i don't like go-nostr at all, though i'm not saying that realy's libraries are exactly perfect, the tags, in particular, are a bit clunky, but performance of the library is way above what exists, it's damn near if not the fastest library for all the things
i am in a steady process of improving the documentation of realy and its libraries, and if you go to https://realy.lol and go look at the /realy directory, that is basically the core, and /cmd/realy is the parts that start it up
if you were to contribute a new relay framework scheme to realy that would be amazing, and you can just add them by names or a subdirectory of items under /cmd and add any extra libraries you need at the root
i spent a lot of time studying how satoshi structured bitcoin's codebase and if you are familiar with that, you will see that i have followed a similar pattern, the reason for it though is shorter import names, but it is ugly on github, but fuck github, they should show the readme above the file list anyway

All replies deserve zaps but the better the reply, the bigger the zap. That’s the way!
skinny kitties are starving and fat kitties are being fed grains
beef and tuna are extremely health-giving... don't feed your cat what you wouldn't eat
i'm keto-carnivore, and i love frying up 4 stek and dicing one up for the little man
i saw a lot of the north-east parts of #madeira today on a trip to the vet for my #catstr #mochi
there is an epic giant rock between Faial and Santana that has to be seen
the other side of Boaventura is a lush forested place that you don't really see it properly from afar, when you are in it, mmm it's almost like rainforest
i'm fine to stick here in unwanted, damp, moldy boaventura, and the people here are mostly hermits, who like the relative isolation, but i was told that there is marinas in Ponta Delgada and Santana so when i get to having a boat, idk, i'm probably gonna go with Ponta Delgada because it's only a 40 minute walk away, but it's nice to know that indeed i could keep a sloop docked so close to me and me and the mochi could go get onboard and go sailing on a nice summer warm day and catch fish and feed my kitty raw, just barely ded cod and tuna
it's not a life for everyone, i'm adventurous, and this is what i want
now, i just need to figure out a way to up my pay grade so i can do less hours for more fiat.
i feel like this new work building recommendation/matchmaking engines might lead somewhere forwards in the future
i don't listen to noise
concessions will be made whenever and wherever there is squeals of pain
these are essentially pre-saber-rattling-saber-rattling
they plan on making war so if you are smart you are heading for the outlying, low strategic value territory, and stacking everything you need to get by while the economy is destroyed and people are massacred
these are gonna be epic for stuff like safety lights and torches and the like
if it scales up and the energy input is not too far above the lifetime output it's gonna be like stacking electrons
they forfeited their souls to the devil... the reckoning is coming
did they make some setting to dumb down the controls then?
specifically you need to have it unrestricted on battery usage and network usage
also, not sure if it helps but developer options being enabled to allow max background processes
what android version is that? i have android 13 and that power usage controls stuff is more detailed
Gavin Andreesen agreed to attend some conference with the CIA, also, at the same time. I'm pretty sure that was the trigger for his exit.

and also, i'm gonna wear my jacket and gloves when administering so i have a good chance of him scratching my armor and not me lol
also, it almost seems like the medicines are taking effect on him, he's more lively, playing again too, and all smoochy
yeah, it's gonna be great when he's fully healthy
i was so relieved when he told me he was negative for FIV, that one in particular is quite common for strays but i guess this is the boonies, and probably outside of dense areas of madeira it's probably uncommon, just not enough cats with the infection in each other's range
yeah i'm gonna have to try that, i have noticed it does pacify them a bit... the last step i have to take is ear cleaning and some kind of salve i need to put into his ears... i'll take the easy road with that, just start with nice pats and then after he's feeling calm, pinch the neck and apply the cleaning stuff
anyway, he'll just get used to it when it doesn't actually hurt, it's just that his whole head is a big ball of pain, so touching it does hurt him, but i think after it's happened a few times he will start to figure out it's nothing bad and be more relaxed, it's just gonna take time, i'm as nervous as he is
Death to the EU project, death to the WEF BS. Long live freedom to interact globally

i'd like to replace him with a pile of cindering ashes after a phosphorus/thermite grenade is planted in his ass
Death to globalisation, long live decentralised self sovereignty and local community 🤙
also, just sayin, but it kinda proves the point that feeding kitty beef has been helping his health, which also implies that there is a synergy between the several infections that the massage and nutrition was being broken
anyway, just gonna have to deal with the scratches, it will be worth it for a brand new mochi
Beautiful ! Lost our boy earlier this year. Currently getting a new boy soon

#mochi the #catstr is a very well behaved kitty but practically impossible to give him medicine
antibiotic syrup half ends up on the floor, he's really strong, actually, and idk how that doctor was able to handle him so easily, poking a thermometer up his butt and stuff and not a squeak but i just try to give him tablets and he shreds my wrist and screams
gonna have to just live with it i guess, maybe after i do it a few times he stops being so resistant, really gotta get it sorted because probably the reason why he's so fighty is exactly because of what he is sick with
yeah, gingevitis, ear infection, some kind of sinus infection
all his blood scan showed healthy except he's not eating enough (because of the pain i guess) and he was amazed with the state of his ear that he was even eating
so, my blood, for my kitty :) i have to do this for a week so he is gonna just have to get used to it... the eye drops are gonna be hell as well, gonna take a bit of improvising to figure out how to actually succeed in getting this stuff on and in him, and probably several more times bleeding from big scratches, ouch

No, take a closer look. The relay sends AUTH when the connection is established. The AUTH after OK is sent by the client.

I kinda hate them. Not all, but generally... Hate's prob the wrong word... Its not because they had things easier - that's a stupid socialist way of thinking. They're just so fuckin egotistical, they don't understand anything, and they seem to think I owe them something.
Is there as much hate for Boomers on Nostr as on X? Apparently they are the most egotistical generation and voting harder did wonders for them.

I wasn't referring to you, haha.
I was thinking of one of those deranged notes you see with #god and a gazillion other tags
"The #Gnostic is so addicted to Truth as to not need to use an oath."
- Clement of Alexandria in "Stromata"
Clement, BTW, was a saint for ~ 900 years before the Orthodox church un-sainted him. Pretty suspicious, that. Maybe his message was no longer consistent because church dogma is defined more by purity tests than Truth? Maybe...
Not sure if your set of "Hashies", are referring to me🧐, but my first set are🤷🏻♂️.

why i'm red flagged on mozilla is because they don't let you disable widevine DRM
just go check it
they don't let you disable it
oh, turn it off, sure, but it nags you every time a page wants to load that horseshit
really
and what made me mad about this whole shit was
it was blocking my goddamn screenshots of web browser pages
it's like
BITCH WHO THE FUCK OWNS MY FUCKING SCREEN BITCH
no, i'm not ok with that
the results were some bullshit repeating bytes that hid all the data
and i was like
hey, bro, that's my screen, you can't tell me what i can't capture off my screen
i can take a photo, bitch

i am not gonna play them against you, it's really not a subject i care that much about
i can see how it might be profitable for me to apply my mind to it but i kinda like higher targets than just feeding myself, i like to profit my peers with my actions

yes, and the chaff will go to the trashbin and be incinerated
and teh first fruits are going up first
idk if you ever did any agriculture or anything but i remember stories from serbians about deda hand picking the plums to put in the first brew to make the rakija
and i've tasted that first stuff, several times, not just plums either, also grapes, and comparing the first fruits to the general mass is like night and day, if i was deda, i would only be sipping on his first fruits
you see where i'm going with this
IF half of the world’s assets are store of value assets
AND
IF #bitcoin is the best store of value asset,

i know right?
i do a lot of work building simulators of various kinds and i am just not convinced by any claims about any statistical shit without fucking hard data and hard algorithms
and i know how easy it is to wibbly wobbly manipulate that shit, you might sorta understand that if you want the shit to work you don't fuck around and you try to make it for real
so, yeah, there's lies, damned lies, and then there is dumbass spook bitches peddling statistics that have been cooked harder than a pressure cooker for 3 days straight
idk what the confusion is, ava is a fake ass spook
rabbits and kitties are the two most adorable animals in the world
no, he's now on fast, currently sleeping on my bed again, probably, as he is quiet, no food and tomorrow morning mid morning he's arriving at the vet and they are gonna x-ray him and look at him and hopefully know what to do and fix the last remnants of his sickness
i'm a bit concerned that he might actually fully recover from the gingevitis due to my insistence on feeding him beef and tuna a lot, both are good gum massages
but his cough, really bugs me and it feels like maybe one tooth pulled and a special strong antibiotic and within days he's tearing up the place like a loon, that would be my ideal outcome
wow, that would explain why they are all losing
no snow here but i'm gonna miss the frequent rain and wind
idk why you even continue to pay attention to this obvious spook
super gay
i caught, or i thought i caught my kitty in the midst of playing fighties with my backpack
nope, camera apparently didn't actually record anything that it presented to me that it was recording
so much gay
i hate these devices, they don't work
it does make me think i would like a legit 60fps FHD camera that records properly at a press of a button, smaller better

I don't think anyone in the US has ever called Trump a libertarian.
Also fascism is a kind of socialism.
I thought they made that in Texas
i got no skills with poker so i stay out
but i'll write algorithms that will beat you, anyway :p
yeah, that about sums up my experience with it also, very nice tl;dr
most of the time when people are divining they should be meditating
in my work, meditating is the key, always, you have a problem to solve, chill, relax, dream, it comes to you, God willing
i like your framing, i'm going to elaborate on that in my own models
Yeah I believe it. Sometimes I start arguing with God and I can feel something watching.
I said this to a relative who's Christian and he was shocked. He thought you had to be submissive and subservient in prayer.
I'm pretty relaxed about it. God gives you what you ask for. Prayer can take all kinds of forms.
If its a pushing, its prayer. If its receiving, its meditation. Combined, its a conversation. Divination is using the pattern of a story and that story is a repeated conversation.
And insert all the usual caveats and warnings about divination. I'd say it should only be tried after you're sure you can tell what an idol is even when there's no physical "idol."
54% tariff on shiner 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Orange man dgaf
You can criticise Trump but at least he is doing something
what to say, the occuptational hazard of being an influencoor... you prolly gonna get cancer
not for me, i want to stay on the gound or float on the waters
yeah, that's why i say that the chinese quaternary hexagram scheme is more accurate, i've generally found it gives better guidance
i will just say that praying out loud in privacy as per Phillipians 4:6-7 is even better
the more time i spend around these portuguese catholics the more i start to pray and i'm in privacy all the time except for my cat
when i was doing it hard core in 2015 the results were mind blowing
I suspect the dice are usually weighted - the tarot dice, so to speak.
Some people are really great at it. Some people can bring it out without ever studying the symbols. Natural right brain thinkers, artists, Gypsy types
smol question: nazirite means the same people of which Sampson was right? they grow their hair long?
if i was inclined that way i probably could be a quite successful diviner for pay but i kinda prefer weighting the dice to throwing them
I've done tarot... I guess I didn't phrase that right. I'm not quite on the wavelength that express it best. Tons of respect for those who are, though.
oh really, you never did i ching or tarot? i don't believe you
you messing with me now
i ching is the best tho, and only requires three identical coins and a pen, and a basic book describing the things, like the old wade-giles
tarot is a lot more complicated, and less reliable
I've only listened to lectures about I Cheng, never used it myself. I want to though...
And tarot, its fun and I love the symbolism, but I approach it in a way that's too logical to bring out the "magic."
It has, however, convinced me that magic is a real thing.
yeah, i was pretty stoked to get half elf and warrior, because that's my temperament and my character... if i'd been born 20 years earlier i probably would have served in a war, and been a recon or special forces guy, the skills are all there, sharp senses, agility, high intelligence, lack of restraint, aka impulsive, i mean, it's a fit
I love it. I wouldn't have in the first act of my life's play, but... I'm a bard with a character arc.
hey, you read tarot and i ching right? me too!
random is powerful, and now i am a network systems programmer the value of random is 100000x more, so, idk, let's just say that mathematics agrees with you
bards are awesome tho, and both of you are kinda bardish
in modern parlance that would be "poet" or "philosopher" and it's a form of art, that is very important for people to develop their models of the world
put it this way, the entire national philosophy of bulgaria, as i observed it, was based on what were called "poets" poets that got hanged and started insurrections...
so, don't feel bad just because you have such great charisma and wordsmithing skills
we need you also
The dude who made it said its semi random and somehow guided by something, but that's all he said to me when I remarked about how accurate it seems
It called me a charlatan too! I can live with it. Sounds cool if pronounce it like a frenchy
yeah, it's not something you'd keep for general times, this is SHTF tools
this is Red Dawn and Walknig Dead preparation, neither of which are entirely out of the realm of posibility, either, to varying degrees.
and i'll be damned if i'm marrying a woman who doesn't go with that, because that would make her a traitor to the security of the House
if my lad brings me that, i'm like, positively identifying it, and then burying it in a box for later
yeah, because his parents were pussies
maltodextrin is absolutely toxic as fuck to the kidneys, and when your kidneys are not doing well, it flows on to causing neuromuscular problems like double vision and muscle weakness
the shit is so bad i can't believe that it has escaped censure this long
the number of people it has probably killed is by now numbering in the hundreds of millions
what's luck is that it even got out to the meaning twisters, i mean journalists
i'm not sure if it exactly qualifies but i was running a freelance biz as a tech support for a bit over a decade 2000-2012, with patches in between of course
i did my own marketing, i won a lot of loyal customers, i practised framing things to the positive when things were a bit broken... idk haha
Does this use AI to look at your posts and assign values, random generator or how does it determine the information?
well, I resent being a "bard" (and I'm not even going to get into the Charlatan part 😥), but True Neutral is legit. and the stats probably aren't far off. I lift weights, but having a small frame does put a ceiling on my max strength grumble grumble

Here's an original poem I wrote about two years ago, and released first on nostr.
I think that now, two years later, there's enough of all y'all who are NEW here and have not yet seen it to justify a reprint.
Also, I just needed some inspiration and encouragement today. My creative juices have been awfully slow-flowing lately.😢
Enjoy!
NOTE: This poem flows with the tune of "Windmills Of Your Mind"

# ***~ Obsession ~***
by Duncan Cary Palmer
***NOT AI generated!***
~
Like a tire with a flat spot,
Or an elbow out of joint
Like a ladder with a missing rung,
A pencil short a point
Like a rainstorm falling on a dime,
A lightbulb with a hole
Like a jar of jam with one big lump,
A broken piece of coal
My life is out of balance
And my days are all consumed
By my latest fascination;
All competing thoughts are doomed
I've lost all track of time and space,
My head's stuck in a hole;
Important matters set aside,
Obsession's on a roll
Life now has a single focus—
Normal balance isn't it—
I've become a one-track zombie
In an epileptic fit
Won't you help me? Look! I'm drowning
In an ocean deep as hell,
Sinking deeper by the minute
Trapped within obsession's spell...
There's so many things I need to do...
If I could just break free...
Pray for me...
Pray for me!

the problem with it not retrying - it is now fixed, the solution was i flipped the order
first it must send the AUTH challenge
second it sends the OK,false,"auth-required:..."
and, done
https://c.tenor.com/selcwUvsgZEAAAAC/tenor.gif
#realy #progresreport #devstr
also, yes, confirmed, it sends the auth challenge AFTER the ok envelope, so i'm switching it up to see if this triggers jumble to auth for events first shot after a reload
Haven't seen it... Is it worth pirating?
it's also buggin me that jumble still isn't retrying send after auth requested... i'm not sure what is going wrong, best i can guess is it's just happening in the wrong order, the auth request needs to be in the opposite sequence to the ok,false,"auth-required:..."

Cobras spray the venom by squeezing their muscles on the venom glands, forcing the venom out of front openings in the fangs. When cornered, some can "spit" their venom up to a distance of 6.5 feet (2 meters).

yeah lot of bluff-calling going on
the corrupt establishments of the West have no answers to why they are doing what they are doing because it's plainly a conspiracy
at the center of it all is the media industrial complex, and at the center of that is a cabal of shady motherfuckers for whom the collateral damage is the objective, not the marketed solution
and it is just political theatre, the obvious gambits orange man is playing are obvious... they are dialing back the screws until the screaming stops and complacency returns

yeah, definitely... like, definitely drawing attention to the way i am marketing my #realy project... it's nice, but it's a mess, and falling apart, it's what i love and all the pieces are pretty but it's lacking durability and constancy

the point is more about enabling me to use auth protected endpoints on the http api with the scalar docs, than anything else though... now i can publish events and trigger other things to happen like restarting the relay, regenerating event indexes, and if i want to i can now use curl or whatever else too, any other language, don't need to import the stupid websocket nostr library anymore just to be able to pull events and examine them (just a json codec, really), all bog standard HTTP

#realy #devstr #progressreport
https://github.com/mleku/realy/blob/dev/httpauth/98.adoc
note the new section just before the Request Flow, Expiration Variant
this describes what it is
the code has been modified to allow this form of HTTP auth token and there is now a tool at
https://github.com/mleku/realy/blob/dev/cmd/nauth/main.go
which will generate a token that can be given a specific expiry time and used on multiple paths of a realy
this allows me to make more use of the openapi documentation interface
the JWT flow was just so clunky in comparison, and replicates so much of the entire principle of nostr events, which are in themselves a form of attestation just like a JWT.
for most use cases, you want to follow the existing NIP-98 standard, assuming your client has this integrated, but for cases where you need to use http endpoints with tools that don't integrate nicely, you can make a typical style bearer token that is valid for longer

Inflation / Quality Ratio
As inflation grows - quality decreases
oshit it needs to be slightly modified too
the URL check needs to be loosened to a prefix if expiration is present also, and http method isn't needed either
so it could use a bayesian filter as well, although you'd have to be able to tune its sensitivity
yeah, seriously, i'm gonna do this
and i'm gonna remove the JWT stuff, haha fiatjaf would be amused, but fuck it, almost nobody is even yet using nip-98 anyway, and expiration is already also a nip and #realy already implements it so why not allow it and make it really simple to delegate privileges for http tooling and low-end browsers to make auth-required for reading doable (which would be essential for internal, private relays run by organisations and businesses
I should've also said that I worked at "experimental" schools - I'm sure the regular schools do things differently
I might. I was thinking of developing my interest in biology, maybe as a detour before returning to teaching. And I prefer to teach high schoolers or adults, so it could fit.
Living on your own terms is no doubt a big reason for that. Another part of fixing education is getting rid of suburbia. Uniformity and learned helplessness should not be the foundation of society.
My kids blow my mind with how amazing they are. They don't act like typical teenagers. I feel very lucky. I credit myself, their mother, and their school. I am blessed.

I agree and disagree at the same time. Private schools are definitely superior to state schools. The incentives of a state school will always work against any concept of freedom. But if we don't compete, we become subservient. Its the same for kids and cultures - kids that are trained to never compete will be subservient to a job and the state ; a culture that can't compete will never challenge the culture that can compete. Competition isn't memorization - its attitude, its trying again even if you have lost so far. Competition is rebellion.
Nice to see bitcoiners interested in teaching. Persevere if you feel strongly about it. Maybe go to the private sector.
Public schools will never work in a system that isn't under total political control. And even if it did 'work,' the outcomes will never be good in the long run. You may end up with skilled students, but what good is that if they're also state drones? I don't want to compete with China. I want to be free and different. I want public education in the US to die. Free markets should determine which schools and teachers work best.

Its basically me raging in reaction to something I heard.
OK. I'm very intrigued by pretty much everything in this note.
Me too. I was in the process of trying to teach at a Waldorf school, but I have other interests which moved to the forefront. One ex-Waldorf teacher I talked to was very against Waldorf because they went woke. He had 40 years if experience.
I like the Waldorf method. Helps children enjoy learning. Not a big fan of competition as an incentive. I can also see how the everyone gets a trophie thing is BS though. 🤔🤷

https://i.imgflip.com/9pi7z5.jpg
One difference between Chinese schools and American schools is the attitude to competition.
Chinese schools maximize competition, gameify difficult subjects, and reward the winners.
American schools go to extremes to avoid competition.
I learned how to teach in China. I was recently investigating becoming a teacher in the US, and did interviews mainly to learn their expectations. They did NOT like me. I said very inconvenient things...
I told them why autism is rising and how to mitigate it with architectural design. I told them how to raise math scores. I told them why childrens' vocabularies are smaller now than in the past, and how to fix it. I told them they should prioritize coding and design, and gave them a plan, even though I'm not a coder.
America cannot compete while schools are failing. And schools will only continue to fail while the teaching philosophy taught in teachers' training is so wildly wrong.
And the solutions can't come from within the education system. The solutions don't exist there.
You have no idea how hard it is to find a competent frontend dev, on here, that isn't already drowning in work.
I've gotten so desperate, that I've been doing it myself, to much hilarity. 🙄
That's true knowledge. It has a foundation. Most knowledge can be washed away in a crisis
I really like to understand the why of things. And I learn best with experimentation. I would be lying if I said I haven't "wasted" a good amount of time and energy at times. But I learn a lot.
Not yet. I might check it out. I am a bit resistant to looking at others solutions right away as I like to consider my own first and see what I come up with. This might be stupid of me. I like to think I can come up with new ideas. 🤷
I do eventually like to learn from others as well.

But it occurs to me that people might wonder how "Laozi" is pronounced. No one is currently reading these, but they might...
"Laozi" ~= "loud zuh" but no space, so more like "lou dzuh"
If you really want to sound authentic, the "uh" at the end isn't a deep singing "uh" like in English, but a sound from a more constricted throat that happens because you keep your tongue forward and move it as little as possible after the aspirated L.

some of it is also that although the snow looks white some of the infrared from the sun hits the ground under it, where it is deflected by the plants
i spent quite some time in places that snow heavily in january-march and i saw all kinds of things, exposure to light is a big one, as is wind, and then there is also where it melts a bit and goes liquid but it cools again too soon and you get solid ice forming, that stuff doesn't melt as fast as snow also

my nostrjwt tool makes things that i have to manually post and environment variables i need to copypasta and then i need to run it again to generate a token which i can then use to auth in dumb tools that can't do nip-98
it's rather onerous, i need to automate it some more
i'm sure that similar tools will be made soon for ngit... to make it easier... like, really, my thing should be able to generate, add to my .bashrc, publish the event to a specified relay and generate a token with a day or more validity with one step, i prolly gonna do that today actually

i've got very used to having rugged so, yeah, rugged phone with custom rom, that's my specific requirement, and it's a hard one i think, i just don't even bother, because i barely put the thing in my pocket anyway
i should also add that stuff like vermiculite and ion exchanger materials (other than carbon, which is this for nonpolar substances mainly) like zeolite also benefit plant health, but they do it also by buffering nutrients
i can't see how it is possible that adding carbon to the soil is harmful to any extent other than that the soil has been sterilised with shit like potassium chloride, that's a fairly common problem tho
more usually, there is so much phosphorus and calcium bound up from years of using superphosphate and gypsum that carbon actually unlocks the fertility of the soil, carbon, phosphorus and calcium are the most critical elements for plant fertility, calcium for stems, phos for flowers and seeds, and carbon to keep pH in a nice range with the help of bacteria and fungi
yeah, motorolas maybe you can root but reflashing not done that since like a decade, their rugged phones are nice but no custom roms for a long time now
the constant gatekeeping is part of the reason i am so dirty on mobile devices, it's just fucking rude, you know what i mean
taking culture from healthy soil is a good move tho
the carbon is essential but it's not going to substantially impede the health of the plants alone, unless the ambient bacteria are particularly out of balance.
making a soil culture is easy though, it's basically keep a bucket of water with malt (malt is the most broad spectrum feed for microbes and fungi) and an aquarium pump and that will 10000x your source of good soil microbes, and done
it does make a big difference too... there is a company in australia for 30 years now called Nutri-Tech Solutions that sells a kit to brew up good soil bacteria
which phones still let you do that? it used to be broad and then for the most part it was samsung devices, due to their high market penetration and supply
i'm curious what phones can still be reflashed with a fully custom rom because i'm generally pissed at android devices now because they are so loaded with spyware and crapware
you can even just use coal
no, more carbon means more places for soil bacteria to live and more active soil bacteria increases nutrient availability, on-demand, because simple salts just wash away or alter pH which is not what you want for most cases
like, for example, some plants really hate calcium levels being too high, and if that's your water supply (quite common) then by loading the soil with carbon you enable it to buffer that calcium so the plant isn't exposed to the chemical action but when it needs calcium it's available in colloidal form, thanks to microbial/fungal action
the exact main difference between a desert and a rainforest is carbon, and it's not necessary to bake it into charcoal, just the carbon, carbon is all you need
the soil is the iceberg below the water, and the plants are the part you can see
there is 9x as much more importance to the life under the soil than above it
really they are sterilizers, to clean you'd need to also rinse something i think
mainly useful where you have constant high humidity that fosters growth of fungus that fill the air with allergenic shit
the magic trick of it is that it lets you make a surface close to boiling point briefly which kills fungus and also will kill insect eggs and small insects and stuff like mites... these also are reasons why it's useful
usually it's just a remedy for a badly ventilated building, on the whole, but where i live it would be a boon for keeping stuff from going moldy
i thought custom roms were ded

Siva Six is an old #aggrotech #musicstr favourite of mine and notably they are also, like another favourite of mine, Cabeiri (who are more a dark psychedelic ambient #psybient ) from greece
i was pleasanly amused to discover they are offering their whole discography for $24
so i paid $42 because they are so awesome
https://sivasix.bandcamp.com/
i'm kinda pleased that it turns out that my initial vision for my relocation to #madeira was not far from correct, in that, this is where i want to be
and that the place i want to live, set up shop, is literally nearby the first place i slept on this island
for now, i am embedding into this little non-tourist town of boaventura, i am acting on my desire to be part of a local christian community, will be doing confession (which actually should be called counselling) tomorrow, and the people are seeing that i care about the small things and care about my neighbours
i may well even set up my hermitage not far from here, as far up into the gully near me as i can get, but i think, overall, from what i know about where is approved to buy and build that camacha and the upper reaches beyond it towards the area of the observatory are the most ideal
and park my boat down in the nearest marina, which i think is probably going to be in the lower parts east of Santana
lining up my ongoing residence here currently, i should be able to swing another 14 months, i love this little cottage, as much as it is cheap and shitty, its location is stellar for my needs
i never would have guessed that i was gona turn catholic... i was raised in some crappy american seventh day adventist religion but i hate it and i am kinda weirded out a bit by some parts of the catholic dogma i'm rolling with it because i can deal with it, i think if you understand the exoteric/esoteric of it all it's actually still very close to the best picture and most importantly, the apocalypsis... that is on the horizon
i expect that whosoever is willing to sling a rifle over their shoulder and use it is gonna be way ahead of the crowd in the future, also, being able to subsist on the margins...
my cunning plan is boating... always food out there, and can always trade food for raw materials or services such as maintaining said boat and said rifle
and i'm not all that confident about the survivability of the internet in general, i think that there will be a regression on this front thanks to space weather, we are coming around to the "light side" of the sun, the face that is towards the galactic center, and that face has the most energy being pointed at it, and that energy is twisting around in the next 20 years to effects that will be pretty drastic... probably only deep inland at high altitude and people with boats are gonna do ok
i still think that this recommendation engine idea i have will be a killer feature for nostr user retention though... and it can be a service that apps call in the first week or so to get recommendations to populate a recommendation list that discreetly is available to users to click and open
i get it why my boss thinks this is a proper value add for social networks, when i think through my own onboarding experience
it's really not hard to build this out either, although it needs a hefty database that spiders the network and filters it for a compact representation of the data (replies, reposts, quotes, follows, mutes)
well, the idea is in the air, anyway
@npub1syj…f6wl has been implementing my idea of a service that does reverse proxy for you to expose your personal relay to the network, enabling full decentralized outbox, maybe someone else will build this...
we really need some competent front end devs in this team
it's an awful onboarding flow
what they should be doing is something more like, show you global, and prompt you to follow ones you like, and then build out recommendations after that
hm
i'm literally working on a recommendation engine right now, and i know the data system very well, have also written a nostr spider for gathering this kind of info
a kind 1 client with a really good onboarding flow would dominate pretty fast i think, because it retains users
i wish i could persuade my boss to start a project like this, it's just, i don't think the people he fundseeks from would be interested

Could you share where on Amethyst the listings are? I haven't seen this and it would be cool to look at!
See if a Komart is near where you live. They have a Korean restaurant attached - get kimchi fried rice and samgyeopsal.

You look Asian, man, you're supposed to just know this stuff.
Hmm not if it receives a prompt by an user... rather if the machine perceives itself a prompt (a will?) to produce something in autonomy 🤔. Never tried ask midjourney or the likes to output something purely of its own agency...
There's a place in Amethyst where there are listings, but I doubt its comprehensive. Its also uncategorized, so it would be hard to find market data on specific things.
Mushrooms are a great idea, especially if you get a deal with a restaurant for regular supply. It would be great to see more stuff like that denominated in sats. I think this is probably where meetups really could shine - connecting bitcoiner farmers with bitcoiner restaurants or similar.
Beauty generated by AI is natural beauty like a flower? Not sure I understood correctly but that's a very interested take if I did.
Itd be more in the realm of the natural beauty than man-made if one day ai produces something of awe by itself... like the self conscious satellite machine of that episode of Cowboy Bebop that suddenly starts drawing on top of Earth's surface because it was bored.
I would 100% buy mead. I freaking love a good honey wine 🍷🍾🥂
Identifying a hole in the market is easy when there is a visible marketplace. Like at a farmer's market you can see clearly that, for example, there's no mushroom stand. Is there a Nostr equivalent to seeing all of what's being sold?
An Artist is not solely his craft. An Artist cannot be replaced by AI or robots.
I keep thinking if I get good at making meads, maybe I could corner the bitcoin mead market... Its orange!
But what people actually want? Probably art. Something that will last and be a conversation starter.
So soapminer is doing their thing, I see people selling wine or crafts. What other types of businesses are being run via lightning payments? What do the people of Nostr want? I used to dabble in selling crafts, but I'm not sure what markets are out here now? Opinions are welcome!

I think inviolable property is the way. I don't really think democracy can preserve property - its a feeding frenzy of the strong taking from the weak.
But moving from democracy (socialism) to private property (capitalism) is tricky. I feel like we're obligated to make an honest effort at fixing what we have.
Hmm. Being a lawyer might be kinda cool.

I was feeling really low the last few days, but I just got a new client that wants to pin a bad person to the wall and I get to be his agent for justice. I am excited again.
city-states is better than states, but you still haven't gone down far enough. keep going...
once you hit the individual, stop. and then let them confederate up from there.
sure. but when we realize that most jobs are lower skill, it's doubly-disruptive.
because an enormous number of jobs are displaced and we realize how many people are low-skill.

Speaking of scaling. This is apparently a classic Feynman lecture (so much so that he gave it here a second time 25 years later), that I just watched all about scaling (not volume so much), and is where I got the combustion engine comment from.
Worth a watch 👁️
#note1kpx…9pkj
That's a cool thing to talk about
The second part is right. But 10³ is 10 x 10 x 10, which is 1000
If 10x your radius, the volume 100x. The radius to calculate the volume is a cube function. The volume grows faster than the surface area of the sphere.
It is cool to think about. I read that the whole "ants can lift 50x their weight" thing has more to do with scaling than superhuman strength.
And recently I learned that a combustion engine could not work if you shrank it down to a tiny motor, because of how the heat escape scaled compared to the volume.
Spheres have the best volume to surface area ratio of any 3D structure. Kind of intuitively obvious once you think about it
Me and my brother always talk about how fucked up volume is. Very unintuitive.
You should buy yourself a new bed 🛌

In my head, that was said in a playful voice. Uhh... Sorry. It could be read differently.
Math is so crazy. Just think about volume. Did you actually realize how crazy volume is when you learned it in school?
Two spheres :
One has a radius 10x bigger than the other. Thinking linearly, no big deal, its 10x bigger, that's easy to visualize.
But the surface area grows by r², so the bigger sphere has 100x the surface area of the smaller one.
And the volume grows by r³, or 1000x the volume of the smaller one.
Isn't that crazy? I can just sit here tripping just by thinking about that.
The world of phenomena has miracles built into its mathematical structure...

A good illustration of yet another fatal flaw in "democracy." Why should anyone need the approval of the dull, mercurial, ignorant majority in order to do anything? What an infinite-weight drag on our civilization.
#nevent1q…lsur
Very true. And unfortunate... There are so few good teachers.
If you can’t teach it then you don’t understand it enough
That's why republic beats a pure democracy any day. But I still think we engineered America wrong - IMO the States shouldn't exist. It should be a confederacy of city-states, and I don't care if the cities are democracies or counties (as in Counts, not the retarded not-county-counties we have) or duchies or whatever.
I hadn't heard the name, but it sure sounds right. I think Plato said something similar too.
even without banks, democracy is a system where a majority gets to rule over a minority.
I like Ibsen's take (forgive me if you've already heard this): "The minority is sometimes right, and the majority is always wrong." Of course he was exaggerating, but only very, very slightly/
Leftist terrorism is always so convenient...
True, all true

Taiwan has their "silicon shield".. Until they don't, and then they will be bombed.
But without Taiwan most business worldwide won't run.
that's a flaw but it's not THE major flaw.

First, notice the numbers. 44 - death and equivalency, and it reduces to 8 - significant in various ways in eastern philosophies.

I dont understand why Saylor would destroy his keys when he dies. What was the point of him becoming wealthy in life if he's not going to do something meaningful with his wealth when he passes? I don't know the dude's story, but build a library or something for Christ's sake.

Frank Herbert was a visionary
one of the key elements of his Dune universe was that artificial intelligence was outlawed
the reason for this wasn't so clear reading the books or watching the movie
but it's very clear watching how it plays out here and now
people are using it to create deceptions that appear human
this seems to be its primary use case
essentially leveraging the personality of someone who wants to engage in deception
there is other uses but in a world of corruption this is what is going to be the base case for why so many people want it
because they are afraid of facing reality
because they are afraid of their employees having their own minds

i wonder what is going to happen when people start to complain about the amount of AI generated content on social networks
are we going to see a bots rights movement and a meme about botphobia being evil?
can we be inb4 and call ourselves antibots? then we can say "why would you be supporting artificial manipulation of the social discourse?" just like antifa tries to do this about people not being against whatever they define as fascism? which is basically anything that is not communism btw.
antibots are not against AI, they are against deception
Yeah, I already added the bots field to NIP-01, a while back, as I'm going to launch some automation.
Just wondering if people would like to know, or if they enjoy talking to the machines in peace.
I just see more and more botfluencers trending, and it's occured to me that we're getting into ded Nostr territory. There are lots of partial bots, you see, with human drivers who occasionally peak-through.
norobots.txt yes, or something like this, if it's in the root of a webserver bots are supposed to fuck right off
the html standard has some field for norobots i think, why should it be any different here?

if the LLM can write it, it's not original
i think it's really reaching to say it's anything more than a souped up search engine
most of the "code" people want to write in python and javascript has already been written a million times before
and it is kinda worse when each realy is basically sending the same data too
i've not seen one that doesn't have an artificial bay protecting it from being washed rapidly down the hill
It's also true that connecting to one relay is lightning fast, but waiting for data streams to resolve across several relays can quickly slow things down.

most people can't tell when text is written by AI
mostly because most people are illiterate, thanks to the Department of Education in every country, we are old farts from the days when education used to mean something
and it's probably an email, too
yeah, which is pretty strange behaviour isn't it
and he happened to be using nostr after a week of silence? look at his profile
i see, and where do you spend your time on the internet because it's not nostr, obviously, just look at your profile feed, it's not exactly busy, was a week before you popped up
also, how did you even pick up on the discussion, to come and complain about how "always" blah blah blah?
you got quite a few cards close to your chest there "brother"
i don't keep secrets from my "brothers"
your harsh words have no meaning without the backstory supporting them
i see, well, you definitely earned my unsubscription
you seem to want to tar me with a brush that i didn't earn, and idk whatever shit is going on in your life or how nostr is working out for you, but thanks for your generosity, i'm out
do you actually do any discussions on this protocol to have experience using it?
because i sure as fuck don't see you very often talking about anything, literally only a few more times than we have had direct discussions with each other
so get off your high horse, for the sake of the mission
if you are managing to pay your bills with your enterprise, that is great, but here in relay and actual business dev land, it's a desert
it may well be that very little of such material is landing in nostr.wine but the whole mess of client and protocol nonsense and hostility towards PAID SERVICES like yours makes it very hard to know what is what, it's a fog of war
i think this is the second time, it's not "always" that i have broached this issue and you know very well that there is a psychology in the bulk of especially client dev on nostr that is making this problem continue without resolution
i dunno if you are actually paying attention to what i have done other than the one previous time we had a discussion but i've built a proper HTTP API https://mleku.realy.lol/api
and my mission is to make real practical, cashflow positive businesses that are not just about kind 1 events, stuff that actually leads to people having employment in this industry, and, indeed, making it into an industry instead of a circus as it currently is
so you can take a grain of salt with your assertions about that 2 out of 2 instances that i said something "mean" about you and your work, because we actually are on the same side, but the bullshit kinda makes it hard to know who is really the problem, doesn't it?
The world is volatile.
Bitcoin is unchanging.
Save in #bitcoin

Why are you telling me, that? I wasn't the one complaining.
I suspect they're sneaking in through the clients building the threads. Need blacklist some relays as outboxes, I think.
That's what I want to double-check.
I blocked them all, but maybe I can dig some up, for you.
also, just gonna say inb4 anyone says "how about rust/javascript" how about GO. Fuck. YOURSELF. STUPID. FOLLOWER. BITCH.
also in both cases i was slowed down by a little shithed CS grad whose parents were cranky at him for doing CS instead of medicine, and his attitude was pretty toxic and lazy, in both projects i was waiting for him to get this shit together for almost a month
idk where to look tho, #golang jobs are few and far between because of the endless barrage of marketing for rust and javascript
i'm not comfortable with leaving a project midstream either, that's another facet of how retarded this person is
gonna deliver what i promised
my previous projects were all grant projects and they all won approval from the grantors. she only showed up recently and has done no due diligence about my ability to produce results, admittedly both prior projects were a week or two over deadline but come on, isn't that normal?
yeah, and i'm the senior dev, and she is always hand hovering over the big red eject button because i'm not working fast enough even though the front end is not ready to integrate yet anyway, so it's a really unpleasant interaction i have with her that is actually reducing my productivity because i am feeling oppressed and that is not helpful for the mindspace needed to do senior dev shit
i like the reddit model i just don't like the reddit culture, it's very toxic and cultish
i don't know if they did it first tho, stackexchange also has the same basic scheme, and i remember that maybe that existed first, it's supposed to be a peer review system
You just take notes in the meetings and then ask the senior dev about it, afterward, and "circle back".
Yeah, well, it's reddit with relays and an Alexandria codebase. 😂
Because that's what I told it to look like. That's why I wanted AI to do it. Wanted to imitate that design. I can now go rewrite the back half.
You brought me on to the idea, talking about agitprop generators.
AI is good at making exact copies...
Yeah, people think the higher-level stuff is easier, but it's harder. It only looks easier, on a superficial level.
also i just looked at the screenies... it looks like a direct copy of reddit, even uses r/something notation
reddit uses arrows for this i think
maybe the thumbs icons are too much like roman colloseum situation
design stuff is next level above programming
design of algorithms usually requires understanding of advanced mathematics
design of architecture usually requires a lot of years of experience programming either learning architecture with the help of a nice language toolchain (eg go) or under a 5+ year veteran who has done the same thing or had a good lead to do the architecture stuff above them
The bottom-down arrow has no purpose. Only thing I can think of is reports.
Or some sort of polling? 🤔 That actually makes sense, a 👍👎 poll event, with the entries ranked by result.
yeah, i know right?
i had a bad experience with a CTO before, who jumped in and did my job for me when i could have done it, at a much lower pay rate
he was a former physics researcher, and had solid coding skills
https://i.imgflip.com/9pbxp3.jpg
They can't promote you because then who would build the code?
People who can code often get stuck doing the coding.
I feel that at work, too. I'm training my colleagues, even though I'm the newbie, and revamping the toolset and stuff.
yeah, my father was a somewhat crazy would-be inventor except he couldn't navigate the academic system either
in parallel to me learning to write advanced algorithms he was teaching me chemistry and physics
he was so terrible, i mean, literally psychopath, at being a father tho, that i didn't bite at his parents offer to foster my CS skill development, because he was involved in it
we live in a fucked up world, one one side, the devil, and on the other side, the army of fallen angels
My dad is a network engineer, so I was writing emails and programs in the 80s. 🤙
the more you understand it, the more you realise that you are actually part of some elite of actual computer scientists, pretty refreshing, innit?
Like.... why are there no tests? Have they never written a test?
Well, no. They have never written a test. Nor have they ever seen one or know what they are useful for.
Don't ask them about their build server. Just... spare yourself the cringe.
what's hilarious for me is i basically did my first year of compsci when i was 9 years old
so actually it wasn't a loss, that my school fucked me because i was determined to be right, and gleefully proving my stupid teacher's wrong, and stopped me getting into CS back in 1994
i was already past the second year in my actual skills anyway
and then i went to work as a freelance computer tech support guy, and i was doing well at that, but the taxes and bullshit drove me crazy and if i'd paid them i would have been unable to work at this job
yay australia, and yay socialist bullshit
They are all so weirdly helpless.
It's all so bizarre.
i wish my fiat mine cto would do that, it would help her a lot
anyone who claims that AI helps them write software, except for summarising documention, is lying, either for pay or because tehy don't want to seem like a grumpy kitty
yup, it's a glorified scaffolding tool, really inefficient at that
i can build scaffolding code generators in a few hours, with no bugs
They kept saying it's the relays, but @npub1wqf…qsyn and I were like
https://media.tenor.com/ud2QGYQk1qkAAAAC/confused-britney-confused.gif
Explains why relays are so fast, but so many clients are really slow.
ded internet is gonna drive the peoples to the nostr
ded code is the open secret about AI code generation that the gigacorps like M$ and NVDA are not gonna include their marketing and all the suckers will buy it and all the managers will push to use it and eventually the actual decrease in productivity will be revealed and suddenly there will be a market crash because the NASDAQ right now is holding up only on that hot air
The bloat and redundancy is incredible. And just the nonsense and the ded code...
i think that they are optimizing for data size and compute time and more depth of causal chains means exponentially bigger models are required
probably you can make it work but you have to allow for 10-100x as much data in the model and about the same difference in computation, and my guess is that renders the efficiency gain null
and i don't think it's gonna be that much different in C, Rust or C++, they are all very strongly typed and have deep semantics with side effects that you don't see with the little scripts of javascript and python code
https://image.nostr.build/f7fee0fb0265241c2fb6fd7e294e622bce5e262e85ea518bcf7a916b0346e97d.jpg
👇👇👇It may be April 1st...👇👇👇
👇👇👇But this is SERIOUS!👇👇👇
#nevent1q…wmjm
I wouldn't AI code in C, either. Would be hilarious, tho. 😂
I don't know if it has enough Go examples, yet. Typescript and PHP are more ubiquitous, so those are easier to AI.
i'm not wasting my time learning it until at least the code generators don't mangle the types in my Go code, every. single. time. doesn't even pass the lexical analysis step.
probably the hype about AI and code is based on the fact it can cope with the retardedly simple type semantics of javascript, which are basically nonexistent
ironically, it is easier for humans to reason about and more efficient for compilers to use strict typing, there is no compiler that outperforms Go on the basis of lines of code

Do you read primarily in English?🤔
This Life Hack is meant for YOU!😆
Here is a link to what should become your "Go-To" English Bible:
https://2001translation.org/
"Why?," you might ask?🤔
I'm glad you asked!😜🤣
This 21st Century translation of the Scriptures into English is the ***most thoroughly honest*** translation I've found thus far in my near-decade long quest of grumbling in writing about the egregiously bad choices made by Bible translators:
https://peakd.com/library/@creatr/the-curmudgeon-s-bible-my-library-shelf
When I found the 2001 Project and began to spot-check key words and passages, I was both surprised and pleased to discover that the translation has already addressed many of the issues I've written about in "The Bible Curmudgeon" series linked just above.
While there are still improvements to be made, I take heart when I consider that it is the explicit policy of the 2001 Project not only to continually improve the translation, but also to accept suggested improvements from ANY SOURCE as long as they are well supported by good linguistic scholarship. God willing, I hope from time to time to offer input for the translation's ongoing improvement.🙏🏻😁
I commend 2001 for your serious consideration...👍

May our Lord and King Jesus bless you and yours greatly, and bless the 2001 Bible translation!

I'm going to add the ability to separate not just by relay, but also relay filtered by tags. That way the individual feeds are more precise.
You can login, write a kind 01 OP to a relay or a set of relays, get the kind 01 event info from the rendered note, and fold out an OP to see the full thread.
Took about 4 hours. The last hour, it just regressed over and over, tho, so I gave up. Manual work, from here, but the PoC works.
Everyone is being hit by reply crypto spam. It's everywhere.
i got such awful results every time i tried using AI code generation tools that i quit bothering
not. once. compiled.
very often type errors also
the only thing that is kinda useful is the ML autocomplete, which gets it right about 50% of the time but LLMs are worse
it could be the order of the ok vs the auth envelope that is the problem though maybe
does jumble expect the auth after the message or before, because i'm not sure now exactly which order the messages are sent in
i will look into this later today, i am guessing that maybe the problem is realy is sending the auth challenge in the wrong sequence
the challenge was definitely sent, also, the logs show this as well
i literally have tried to use gossip several times and it was awful, couldn't get it to see connect to anything
and that's the whole offerings out there
@npub1syj…f6wl
it is definitely correct formatted message in the OK envelope
if err = okenvelope.NewFrom(env.Id, false,
normalize.AuthRequired.F("auth required for storing events")).Write(ws); chk.T(err) {
}
i put a print on that message composition function normalize.AuthRequired and this is what it prints:
1743483096.576174791 INF auth-required: auth required for storing events /home/mleku/src/realy.lol/normalize/normalize.go:121
that text gets pasted into the buffer for the envelope encoder
#nevent1q…9fkg

https://images.mleku.dev/9J/Screenshot%20from%202025-04-01%2003-43-28.png
1743482763.253709328 INF auth-required: auth required for storing events /home/mleku/src/realy.lol/normalize/normalize.go:121
that is the text that is coming out, it's definitely got the colon, and it is still not repeating the send, i get a red message saying it's not authed now
yeah, i found that nostr.band and nostr.wine are the most connected to my network
it is a cloud based lightning node, but thanks

Oh well. Like what you like.
Dbz is like soft core marvels. 😳
Haha, this makes me unable to see your replies in the notifications.
I have removed the colon, and as long as the returned reason starts with "auth-required", it will proceed with authentication. You can try again, and it's best to log the WebSocket communication for troubleshooting.
Bigger is better, as they say
Yeah. Pretty gay I guess.

I can help you appreciate the egg plant.
I just had to giggle cuz I heard a guy say he wrote a novella.
Part of why I hate veggies is how bad salad dressing is. I love anchovies tho
Star wars is great... Except for when they recycle lines or have glaring plot holes or have Kylo kill his father or change the story from the books or have cartoonish evil villains or cartoonish toddler aliens or ....
... Actually maybe it is bad. I liked it as a kid.
Eggplant on pizza is like anchovies in Caesar dressing. If you do it right it’s magic. Wrong is ragnarok.

I take agreements between trusted parties very seriously. even if they aren't formalized in "legal contracts".

Let's go back to how it was originally
Its "notes and other struff," not "knots"
As long as its not "no-stir" I dont care how people say it. I don't really understand why, but that pronunciation grinds my gears.
This just in.. We just figured out the "correct" way to say #nostr
#nevent1q…azvg
proposing larger block space for bitcoin was the greatest threat to bitcoin. we'll forever defend smaller block space.
Imagine if air defense could be 3d printed
New Zealand has no air defense systems. We are just as vulnerable as Palestine and Lebanon are. Any beligerant nation could just fly bombers down here and start bombing the sheep and there is nothing we could do about it.
Yeah that's a problem... And just orange pilling suppliers isn't the solution because they also have suppliers, do its the same. Idk. I guess you need an off-boarding solution
The issue is I can't use that bitcoin within my business, so it sits there as an asset. If the ratio is off, that would kill liquidity because we can't spend it. I'm fine for less than 2% of transactions being unusable, but things would have to change (like supplier adoption) to make it more feasible.
Maybe. To me all Humans look alike 👀
Yeah lol, I wrote one freaking article about bitcoin on an online thingy, and it wasn't even good writing, and immediately I got solicited to write for crypto shit.
But you might be able to just filter out words like "crypto" or "project" or "use case" and then never see that stuff.
20% feels right to me. I wouldn't move over a 10% discount. You could split it differently, like up 10 on fiat and down 10 on btc. Also the number of people taking the deal might be insignificant enough that it doesn't really affect the bottom line. Idk... Just speculation
I had some educational articles about 7 years ago, then we started getting spammed incessantly by crypto businesses trying to guest post articles or pay for us to link back to them. I'm not likely to attempt that again lol
Raising prices that much would probably have quite a detrimental effect on day to day business. It makes more sense to me to having a lower BTC price, since the outcome is the same - cheaper if you pay with sats. Once I finish building my new site I will have a better direct payment integration so maybe I will develop a different strategy. It is tiring trying to win people over.
My trick is to listen to a podcast while I fall asleep. It works... For me, at least.
well, he's not gonna present a problem for wanting to go outside, he already doesn't want to go outside
as for "raw" not sure what that means... i buy beef and veal in big frozen chunks so that means not cooking it? he also eats cooked shellfish at times too, he likes it more than i do
but yeah, 1000% did not like the vet i took him to last time, so maybe i try the one in the other town the other side from me, in Santana. if that's not good then i can try another one later but this next appointment will be getting his gingevitis sorted out, i think that once that is fixed his sinus problem will be solved as i'm quite sure that the rotten tooth is incubating bacteria that keep on seeping upwards into his sinus
Are those all the same dude?
If I was selling stuff, I'd offer a "discount" of 20% if paid in btc - which means I'd jack up fiat price by 20%. On my website, I'd have a few links to educational resources to get them started.
Opinion
Empty blocks are happening because the industrial #bitcoin miners are consolidating their bitcoin to get ready for the coming bull-run
They don't want to pay high fees to move their bitcoin
High fees are for retail to pay
thing is, peter todd seems to be paying too
and he is shilling some israel to me and i'm like nope
probably not gonna watch the general relay feed much, based on my first 30 seconds looking at it again
Not enough daily use amongst average people. Majority hodl for NGU. Only a handful of my customers ask to pay on chain, and that is probably due to the incentive offered to do so.
Institutions adopting before the network really took off with the public for its original intended use case is no bueno.

i was just running short on my sub so i bumped it another 6 months
i should add it to my relay list and see if it's working :) haha

You’re at a farmers market or festival and you see this wyd

I agree with you as well Fren #Nostr is the future
Just pretend that the US bombing the Houthis wasn't prior to them finding an ally in Iran...
I still believe #Nostr is leading the Revolution. Onwards 🔥

Yeah I'm starting to feel similarly. It was cool the first time.

I'm not pissed off. Just disappointed in so many people. Getting angry is what "they" want.
They continue down this path so that we start getting violent, and then the unthinking majority will in turn support the countermeasures, such as digital ID systems. That's why they keep pushing inflammatory legislation in all parts of the world, like giving white men longer prison sentences in the UK.
It's all a demoralisation tactic. The way to beat them is mock the powers at every step they take. 70-80% of the population are just along for the ride.
I turned it upside down, its still a fat bird. Am I broken?
he literally barely wants to go outside, if i leave the door open for an hour he might actually go out there but generally not
i think he is in a lot of pain, all the time
i left a cat with my mother that had mild gingevitis and at some point she took her to the vet and turned out extracting a tooth and cleaning the gums under it made her into such a happy kitty that my mother had to kick her out because she was such a monster for the lap, and my ma is a compulsive fibre artist and her fur was literally interfering with her spinning work (she was a medium hair black cat)
i think the data suggests that this $10/forever deal is abused, so, well @npub18kz…x5sz are you paying attention?
I hate that so often I will get everything right and actually get myself into bed at the right time, and I’ll be pretty tired, but my brain is like:
“Oh yeah? You want a good night of sleep to wake up refreshed and to take on a big day of responsibility and getting shit done tomorrow?
How about instead I fuck you over by having you loop over and over on stupid shit from throughout the that doesn’t really matter and just causes you anxiety? Would you like to spend the next 3 hours thinking about that?
Go ahead and try to do meditative exercises, or counting sheep, doesn’t matter, you won’t go to sleep because I decided tonight is one of those nights that I am just going to totally fuck up your day tomorrow for no reason other than that I can. Worse part is, there is no one to blame but yourself because I am you!”
Sometimes it be like that.
Nostr.wine is just the basic subscription. You need to use the filter, to get a good feed, and that is paid monthly.
i tried to engage mazin about this stuff but he seems to be paid by someone else than his "customers" so, i smell fishies
nostr.land > nostr.wine
semisol is much more responsive and serious
Or maybe they don't limit who can sneak in over replies.
Ah, trying to block China. I wonder if Trump's remarks about Panama a few weeks ago were about strong arming a deal
Yeah, it's really cheap. And so big that it's profitable to pay to shill crypto spam.
hardly
ten bux for forever is cheap
i'm not sure if this is the right framing
he's building a kind1 client, cautiously, with extensive and receptive attitude towards user feedback
i'm a fan, and i'm paying him to fix bugs, already did one and another is in the pipes to make sure that public-readable but auth-to-write relays don't get missed, because so many of my events are not going to my relays if i refresh the app on my browser, for some days now
obviously part of this is that hormones make men stupid
literal cows
sorry, just a joke, "bullock" means a steer or neutered cow, and "bollock" is english slang for testicles, and "bollocks" means "nonsense"
my #mochi #catstr literally just alerted me to the presence of people nearby me
just the usual tourists trekking over the caminho
but it was very reliable intel
if it was a dog, it would bark at also kitties he hears passing
but kitty only alerts at messages that are uncommon and unfamiliar
ergo
guard cats are far more useful, if you actually love them and keep them close
mainly because it is the simplest
we are gonna have frickin laser fembots defending it soon tho
i'm pleased to see they eventually made a wysiwyg editor finally
we are up against a retarded majority of client devs who don't want to allow kind 1 to do do markdown and they refuse to even consider such things as m/M tag that indicates it's markdown
you need to keep your work archived, don't trust anyone
it's part of my mission here on nostr to promote the idea that the elite nostr users will run their own relays and not trust public services even paid public services
I had to test on live, and drove y'all nuts. 😂 I usually run the tests against mocks or localhost.
Might want to mock those or use a local server.
PSA:
i will not see messages sent to me if you send them to these relays:
relay.damus.io
nos.lol
nostr.wine
offchain.pub
pyramid.fiatjaf.com
nostr.mom
relay.primal.net
relay.primal.com
relay.primal.ney
cache1.primal.net
why?
because they are free relays and trolls and spammers are using them to irritate and sell shit to people who want neither
sooner you all dickheads realise this is not a tenable model for a decentralized social network
the better
because you all really don't seem to get it at this point, even though replyguy spam has increased to an inordinate degree and we are now getting literal marketing spam through your whore relays
sometimes it makes me stressed lol, when stuff stops testing positive
in many cases this is tests that use network resources that really have no business being in tests
i can't understand this, tests is tests
production is production
ok maybe you run tests before production but test is test, it's already next step downstream if it was run in development before committing
i make a policy now, i run all tests before each commit
FYI, I've used and (mostly) loved the Markdown editor on the Peakd interface to the Hive blockchain (originally Steemit dot com, but the bulk of the community forked to Hive dot blog).
I've created and maintained a hierarchical library of my writing there for years. One of my favorite Peakd features is the ability to intermittently work on drafts before actually posting. Markdown support is the best I've personally experienced. The editor has a WYSIWYG mode, but I haven't used it...
I THINK sources for that editor should be available? It's been very robust for years, and it seems to me it shouldn't be too difficult to add parsing for npubs, notes, and etc...🤔
Please have a look at some of my formatted output there:
https://peakd.com/a/@creatr/b
Have given YakiHonne serious tries twice in the past two years, and had nothing but tears and frustration...
i went to some effort to make a scheme where error messages are easy to construct with concise notation
i know it's definitely printing them, and you can easily confirm it with your client, because you made it so you can narrow the relays that send it, and read logs on the console
if err = okenvelope.NewFrom(env.Id, false,
normalize.AuthRequired.F("auth required for storing events")).Write(ws); chk.T(err) {
}
and that normalize function:
func (r Reason) F(format string, params ...any) []byte { return Msg(r, format, params...) }
you see, Msg:
// Msg constructs a properly formatted message with a machine-readable prefix for OK and CLOSED
// envelopes.
func Msg(prefix Reason, format string, params ...any) []byte {
if len(prefix) < 1 {
prefix = Error
}
return []byte(fmt.Sprintf(prefix.S()+": "+format, params...))
}
Power corrupts, absolute power….
They’re all the same
#note1vjd…685y
something about wireguard? idk
idk why but it seems to not be working
i doubt it is, because i wrote a function to construct those messages precisely with those prefixes and with the colon
you are the FE expert, i am counting on you
also didn't i say i would pay, yes i did, when i see it fixt you get zapt
i have blocked these relays with this following text in my /etc/hosts because i'm tired of seeing garbage from them:

#note1k90…q2qe
not good enough though i need a http endpoint that adds IP addresses that are trash at this point
Fake it till you make it.
Seriously - wtf is this villain costume?
Mfer looks like a sith lord.
https://m.primal.net/PzZr.jpg
implemented, that was so easy
If Jumble receives ["OK", false, "auth-required: xxxxx"], it will authenticate and retry sending. Maybe the issue is that the response is missing a colon? hahaha, I can remove the colon check.
the websockets for everything model is a security nightmare also
when you notice that some IP address is sending rude queries over and over, you have to restart the relay to close the sockets
i'm going to make a new endpoint for admin on #realy that closes all open sockets by force
@npub1syj…f6wl
#jumble is not retrying send events when it gets auth, this is not optimal for relays that have public readable but not public writeable
please make jumble retry sends when it gets an OK,false,"auth-required" AFTER authing
bounty of 50000 sat on this one
I’m only on Nostr, and realise you all already Stack… but I’d stack harder if i were you 🤙
running tests usually means "upon new commit" so i guess you mean "on the upcoming release version" then uh. duh.
you run them on the untagged versions always, and then when it comes to prod it's already verified
awesome
so, yeah, firewalls are mostly not needed, but if you got annoying issues from spiders and shit, you want a firewall to block their IP
so really, you need a firewall
I’m feeling pretty good actually
i may need to add these two rules to my production relay to thin out its log noise
today's lesson in Domain Driven Design:
don't waste your time writing IP filters in your server
that's what you firewall is for
prod means the actual deployment, i'm not sure what you are asking
i was getting endless spammy bullshit queries from one ip address to my test realy
i have now enabled the firewall on my dev box (ahahaha) and allow the usual realy listen port, and blocked that ip
the silence is so delightful
now to block this dumbass who keeps sending protocol incorrect pubkeys with only 2 hex chars
Wonder who is the spider's master...
https://media.makeameme.org/created/better-my-young.jpg
i finally figured out a way to stop this retarded spider that polls at my test relay endlessly, cluttering up my logs with the same query for kind 0, 3, 10002 and idk what else
i have enabled UFW and deny their IP address
done
there is no server at my ip address, dipshit
yes, "privacy protected" means that every user is an entry point
Okay okay.
Just realized that you could brute-force list discovery by just trying to AUTH with any active npub.
Yeah, that's why we want different machines. Then you move the threaten more internal, which is easy to manage with permissions.
you have work to do i seem to recall, stoppit
this is a painful rabbithole you are diving into there
we have to define our threat model, and you must not think outside of it for reasons you are experiencing
we have to trust our server's physical security, for example, or otherwise we have to have physical hardening on our servers, which is a great increase in cost
it can be mitigated by making encryption schemes that defeat physical breaches, but there is limits to how strong you can make this security, especially with scale, cryptography gets astronomically expensive at scale, the math is absurdly expensive compared to simple ordinary computations, the overflows and so forth involved tend to be in the dozens if not hundreds of cycles per operation
LOL you know how much I love this logic stuff.
https://media.tenor.com/xRWvL0QHJuoAAAAC/hmm.gif
Or batch discovery. Hmm. The server holds the key, maybe, and three people hold the server key.
Like, if you used multisig. 🤔
Ideally, even a person who can leak the decrypted data wouldn't be able to make sense of that data.
i know you are a bit excited about this but after you think it all through for a while, digest it, you will have some good insights
i think that nip-86 was not really quite the right direction to go with this issue, it really needs a bigger plan than just addressing the superficial requirements, because of the threats that could be involved
for sure, limiting risk can be easily achieved by only having one owner who has superseding rights and technical skill to detect and remedy problems
the more people you give administrative rights, the less powerful administrative rights have to be
good news, it seems that the weird errors i was seeing is because i have made some breaking change in the database encoding scheme somehow, and simply nuking the db and reimporting has fixed it
however, it looked an awful lot like it was encoding it with a new experimental more compact encoding with base64 signatures that was actually the core of the problem
i think i can fix that easily
The admin issue is what makes it tough. If someone can get to it and they control the encryption key, then they can leak it.
So, you need to anonymize or obfuscate it and/or isolate it programmatically and/or physically, as well as encrypt it.
they are untenable and it's mostly a UI problem, ie, vibe coding client devs are to blame
i primarily use jumble, it has no UI for DM, so if you wonder why i'm not reading them, that's why, i am so salty about DM, maybe you saw this
https://i.imgflip.com/9p7tu7.jpg
Yeah, same. I have to go test for 8 hours because I've been chatting all day. 😂 Later, gators!
well, it's just a matter of time and priority and funding
i spend half my day building a matchmaking system for a gaming social network that is intended to be a go-to funnel for attracting gamers to use it to feed data to gaming and anime studios
that's a lot of energy i can't put into this
AI scraping means that a lot of data can be guess due to other data. Things happening near the same time stamp from the same region, for example. And even anons behind a VPN or Tor want some privacy.
That's probably why Primal built their server, but I don't want a server inbetween the user and their relays. I want smarter relays that can talk amongst themselves, on the server side.
That way, someone who prefers their own relay can switch ours out for the own, and everything in the client would still work. I love being able to use my own relay, and I want that for everyone.
yeah it's a delicously juicy problem for me to ponder on
you need to just remember that we can avoid storing actual valuable data of our clients, for a start, no kyc, at least, not on the gear that is doing the service
then you have threat models
the network side, the cryptography is pretty solid, but we have issues that may grow in complexity when the number of administrators increases, 1 admin, easy, 5 admins, that is 25x the risk level
the physical level, not sure how to address that one @npub1226…kjis probably more geared towards this vector of attack in his work with secure elements... my inclination would be to say we colocate and put strong squealers on our hardware
i'm not gonna tremble in fear of the unknown, i got work to do
It's an algorithmic and architectural conundrum. How do you keep customer data online and easily available to your servers, without it being stealable or leakable, and while handling a heavy load of requests?
I think once-per-week is at least vacation home status, if not primary residence.
well, i'll be ready, such a policy scheme needs some refactoring of architecture to be easy to add, but if we can muster a nice UI for it i can do a nice back end and protocol
We'd be the customer. We'd make Realy a public-facing mirror to theforest.nostr1.com and theforest.nfdb.com (or whatever domain Semi bought). And could make another mirror for the git server relay.
We already have strfry, you see. We specifically wanted something very different. We're going to have fallback plans. You should need to hit mutliple different relays on multiple different machines in mutliple different countries, manned by mutliple different admins, as our potential attack vector is the nation state. We're paranoid as heck.
Our current plan is to just hardwire it to the uploader and then use theforest AUTH to sign into the uploading web page, but we could then AUTH to Realy, directly, and then our subscribers could access services over HTTP and whatever else nifty you build.
We don't need it, yet, tho. It'll be at least 6 months, before we release anything using it. We can all just ruminate on it, a bit. Our ideas tend to get better, over time.
I know how you feel. Just remember that every day you let it picks you is a day they've won control over your mind.
i know the feeling... even the psytrance classics i have lost contact with them, about the only stodgy base i have these days is like Snog, Suicide Commando, and the whole psybient genre has been generally good to me
but in terms of playtime, what's winning these days is literally soundscape artists who have no message at all
well, let's just say that Langley is chickenfeed compared to Tavistock
it's held up by how long its progenitors can convince that flood of fiat to continue, which is kinda messed up, being that such persuasion can be malicious
yeah, i don't see you that often, hi, for this week
I'm like once per hour. 😂
I even dream about Nostr and drag my family to meetups every couple of months and etc.
I can stay obsessed longer than they can stay solvent. 💪
Me: I hear Madeira is nice, this time of year. 🤩
Him: Wait, don't tell me, you want to meetup with a dev in Madeira? *deep sigh* *facepalm*
lol, 122
yes, nip-86 is some kind of an attempt to make a spec for relay management, and he did a lot of work making that, and implemented it
but this problem is different, like you say, the issue is authentication, and the data itself needs to be atomic and yuge
i've just given it some thought and quite simply as regards to realy you can just deploy it without an owner designated, and create a private control system for access control
but it's a big job, not gonna lie, i made realy's policy system based on what i could cheaply acquire for UI interface without actually building the UI
it works, to stop spam, that's what it was for
making relay access control is a separate matter, in the private arena, and i'm just gonna say that um... what is the priority on this action-item exactly, do you have serious customers lining up to deploy systems like this or is this just a hypothetical?
☝️
It's held up by high funding, not zeal.
🫂
https://m.primal.net/PzTg.jpg
I don't need all 122 of you, one will suffice.
@npub10np…tl5h have you given this any thought?
Why do I need a cryptographic signature on a list of pub hex IDs that I only use within one server landscape? If anything, I need to encrypt and obfuscate that list, in case it leaks, and put it behind an API that just tells the requesting client if the current npub is on the list, or not, so that there's only one list.
Customer lists are high-prio security, IMO. Especially, if we can link pub IDs to Lightning wallets over payments, and IP addresses to pub IDs. I'm thinking subscriber lists should be something more like Fort Knox, less like a public relay.
so, it seems, i fell to temptation from the Devil who induced me to make changes in my code, and now i am regression hunting, for a new strange error
well, since you are 'murican there's not that great a need for you to learn about what they are doing in europe
i am certain that all of these networks are connected at some deep level, though, but at some point you gotta call it "too much information" when you are simply evaluating your tactical and strategic position
primal is not gonna have funding forever
haha, you think project mockingbird is a deep hole, those brits made even deeper ones, UK is a total secret police state now for decades
i totally agree about the issue of lists being implemented as CRDTs but while it is not difficult for *me* to implement a relay that uses them to do things, the cryptographic signature verification load on clients is very high, this is why giant lists have remained the norm
they have to pipeline the processing of these events and cache them so tehy don't ask for them again, and they have to address the matter of making their caches more robust and possibly even they need a way to transport them between clients
so it's a lot of stuff to build, i know easily just by thinking about it what is required to make it viable but we need front end devs
i might say that in funding prioritiies for gitcitadel we may need to consider that the sooner we can get a typescript ninja on teh payroll the better
this is an "attack" we can make on the freedumb relays also, as we go forward, just sayin'
quite simply if that allow list is only published to the relay then it's no problem anymore
it's a client problem
i appreciate you doing the thinking on this, i'm just making sure that you contain the bounds of your thoughts into what is in what domain
also just gotta point out that CRDT follow lists don't scale even worse, because every little follow has to have its signature verified and the result cached into the client's list
if you want a serious scaling solution for that kind of 10k+ size of lists, it's simply not possible without first enabling a local serial ID for each user, that cuts your data size to 1/4, for a start, and nostr protocol is not the right way to present this, it would be more concise as short lists of decimal encoded serials of the users, max data length is then 7 bytes for each entry
i can only provide solutions that fit the matrix that requires them
modularising the policy parts of realy is a fairly big job but it does eventually need to be done, but it also requires cooperation of a client dev who can make that work neatly on the scale you refer to
i think it's a great idea, it's just beyond ambitious to megalomaniacal a bit
it's just a policy feature, so to change it to use these lists, is quite simple, and could be done and substituted, and publish them to only the relay itself, is literally a client problem
i understand the problem you are articulating here, it just mostly starts with the client, and the reason why i designed it that way was because of the retarded clients
this is a client problem not a relay problem
Yes, I'm fine with that. I just don't know if you realized that it's hard for an organization to use it because they'll tend to have long lists with more than one dimension, and that they don't want publicized.
Also just privacy-invasive, to publish subscriber lists to relays.
If Realy had a way to port in a list of subscriber hex IDs and status, comma-separated or something, like
1098532, Basic
9531695, Premium
7531897, Premium...
then we could add it to the main server landscape, which only subscribers can use. Would add redundancy and protect us from a strfry-specific attack. Just saying.
I mean, what if we ended up having thousands of users... or millions? Follow lists don't scale. I had to give up using lists in theforest after a couple hundred nostr:npubs because I needed it really exact.
it was horrible.
https://i.imgflip.com/9p7tu7.jpg
that's my point, i adopted the postell's law on this, and used the simplest black/white list interface that existed that was almost universally implemented as the UI for my #realy and it works very nicely
you haven't annoyed me really bad in a while so you are still whitelisted, but even if you do, if i merely unfollow you, but i follow people who follow you, and they publish their follows to my realy, you are still allowed in to post
i'm refining the permissions on the second level though, at some point, i recall i had some thoughts and maybe implemented some code that discriminates
I don't remember that, no.
idk maybe you weren't there when i was trying to make nostr DMs into a CLI
it's my relay, my rules, so you get that
any given npub you designate as owner of a #realy instance can let you control how you use it without needing special tooling, that's the reason for it
simplicity > sophistication
i wrote it this way because it meant i didn't have to write a UI for it
she has engaged with me multiple times, she is a smart lady, but most influencoors on nostr are just riding it
The same people still on the "safe and effective" and "COVID vaccines saved lives" train also stopped taking the shots after the 2nd, 3rd or 4th booster.
"I don't need any more"
You stopped taking them because you realized it was a mistake, but you can't even bring yourself to admit that. So you live in a state of dissonance because of your inability to be honest with yourself, or come to terms with what the was done. Instead you hide behind credentials and unfalsifiable claims.
I feel bad, but what's worse is that you are the enabler of tyrants and you'll help them again and again to the detriment of everyone around you. You fucking idiots.
Because our relay allow and block list follows its own logic and is updated over different mechanisms, none of which are follows. We don't even use mutes. You're either in, or you're out.

It actually makes it harder for us to use your relay.
i'm done with fiat mining for today, wrote a nice paginated iterator thing for them
so now i'm back to realy, which i'm in the process of documenting fully
but after these thoughts, i am making a mental note that when i come to rewriting the documentation of #realy and its #geyser page i'm going to call it a "privacy protected" relay and define that concisely.
shifting the liability away from the provider is essential to enable providing service, any service that does not protect privacy in this way is instantly less marketable.
it is an effective way to limit spam on my relay though, every time i mute, i know my relay blocks write access, every time i follow, i know that user, and whoever they follow, if available, can become part of the relay's whitelist
it's not about circle jerk, it's about propriety. i own my relay. i use mute and follow lists to control access to it, it's an interface in every client so except for a recent incident involving jumble defaulting to private follow/mute i know when i use those actions with my profile it changes my relay's allow list
it essentially means that only the permitted users can violate the privacy of their peers, the servers are programmed to restrict access without proof of membership in the group
Yeah, people can just screenshot stuff or copy-paste the json, or whatnot.
Instead of "private" it's "privacy protected"
private is an absolute and impossible to actually achieve, in practice

Am I the only one who really does not like the Ghibli AI images? If I could setup a filter for just that style of AI image so I never had to see one again, I would.
Sorry, it's been rainy and cold here for like 3 days. Plus, I'm over 40 and firmly stuck in my ways now 😐
tombstones are your friend
they identify the content, without revealing the content, and specify that the content is DED
and further, step outside of the dumb relay mindset, and think about a chanserv bot for this situation. it can keep tombstones of deleted data for a long time, they are not big data compared to what they refer to, and nobody can republish them
#realy already uses tombstones... i haven't written the GC for it yet but they already have timestamps
RIP <event ID> <ded at unix timestamp X>
hooray for dorks and geeks! low key everyone is following us, eventually
protected sorta means immutable, except for authorised parties
actually, i think that the smart contract language Move has this notion - values that can only be altered by some specific owner, Move was quite interesting in the way that it stripped back the retardation of rust to narrow it to this notion of ownership and exclusive right of mutation
i'll go with Protected tho, it has a nice ring to it that is quite popular in speech these days
Private, protected, public functions.
I was just thinking of a dev analog.
Well, I think people who don't like us are bewildered that our nostr:npubs have become so dominant, but we're just extremely human and authentic, so everyone tired of bots is like,
I wonder what the Real Humans are talking about... and then they end up hanging with us, off in the Naughty Corner being naughty.
Dorks >>> Bots
or you could say "defended"
Between private and public is "protected".
yeah, that's what i mean, it has that agitprop base to it somehow
it's extremely tiresome watching this shit play out but everything i have been warning about with social networks for years is getting worse and worse, they are 99.9% simulated social discourse, once i have seen a few months of X i was tired of X and that's how i came to nostr because there was some trending chatter about it with the follows i had on X
also something of a limited hangout, but projecting it into an imaginary universe to discredit it
as more and more tech enables sybils people will at first get sucked in, chewed up, and then spat out, and they will start to want to have options for filtering out this noise
it's just copying someone else's style
humans also copy styles to some extent, it would be difficult to tease out exactly where it originates without a lot of expensive AI service credits
like, i do this style now a bit, because it's more clear, trying to reduce my wall of text, but i don't do simple line breaks with some sentences not spaced when grouping them, i don't really like that
it looks like agitprop style, and it sorta seems to model poetic layout structure
yeah, that's why i say the old IRC model is the best, because you can set very fine grained policy on retention and access control and even things like users being able to block sending events to users they don't want to see it specifically, or whitelist where you make a set difference of their whitelist versus their blocklist and the chanserv will only deliver events according to the author's preferences
i have been thinking about these subjects for a long time since i started using IRC in 2003
it's a fascinating playing out of so much game theory tho, even if it is gay
Particularly Good stacking conditions 🫡
btw, this seems to be a major use case for AI GPT LLMs... creating Sybils @npub1l5s…gx9z
sock puppets that sound a little different than themselves but basically are just agreeing on something they agree on, to puff up the numbers and make it look like they are a substantial demographic
i'm kinda bullish about this because it means that more and more people are going to start to realise that democracy is really just a game of Sybils and we should be using competing judges to do lawmaking instead of marketers and actors
it's quite gay how people who are gay think they can use AI to make them look less gay
you didn't get the problems i have though, the constant anxiety, depression, the vision problems, the digestive upset
already most of that stuff is gone, and i don't miss it... 28 years i've been using this shit, and it's over, i'm done
Whole feed is like that. Blocked.
it reads like it was fed exactly cloudfodder's post as a prompt to me, with instructions to apologise for how gay rust is
you didn't mention personnel limits
if i had a front end dev and funding for me and this ninja i would be shipping the IRC style protocol i just described.
i mean, it's technically only 6 weeks you are talking about. the IRC protocol would be the fastest path, it doesn't require any substantial changes to the relay, i would literally just be building the nickserv/chanserv bots and the FE dev building the UI
yeah, that is also another problem with it... it has to be available on at least like C, Go, Rust, and Javascript or it's dead in the water
i'm now into my second week of no caffeine and i am finally starting to get better vision convergence for reading, after much of the last 3 years suffering with double vision while needing my eyes to work well for programming
i'd rate the current state of it at 50% of the typical average for the last few years, so i'm now almost dead certain that whatever caffeine, and especially coffee, was doing to me, is now starting to recover
idk how long it will take but if i'm at 50% improvement at 2 weeks then maybe i'll be able to see normally again soon
it's also going to be interesting to see how it affects my minimum distance for focus... when i was young, it was about 15 centimeters i could read sharp text, in fact i could read text at about 2 points (1/36th of an inch tall) such as the hidden writing in australian banknotes styled into lines. since this double vision problem started that blew out to about 40cm but if it is possible for me to focus again at 30cm i'm gonna call that a massive win, and a massive black mark on caffeine and coffee as being "good for your health"
i'm also becoming generally more productive, my motivations are not so fickle and i find it easier to sit down and plug at something when i decide to do so
community is something that is destroyed by socialism, the evidence is everywhere to be seen

We've basically moved into a run-down trailer on the spot we're going to build a 5⭐ resort. 😂
the notion of a social network being your digital home, and clubhouse, has been overwhelmed by this popularity contest of chasing advertising money (that's the incentive) but people don't realise that's what it is driven by
the normies go to whatever the average person is doing so the momentum is against us but at the same time we need more time to build this out because it needs to be done properly
the first people who live in nostr homes and clubhouses are those who are sick of the perverse incentives
the people who come in the later waves will become more and more normies because their friends are doing it, those people we see who are not #nostronly yet and keeping their feet in both worlds... i'm sure for example Lyn has brought a lot of her fans to nostr, and Jack also, and others, but none of that really sticks, it's just a conduit, what makes it stick is the growing number of people who understand what this is about. privacy, affinity, friendship. not a rat race. not fiat.
i was designing an IRC like protocol that was based on follow and mute lists and ephemeral events and secondary clients that act like nickserv and chanserv in IRC architecture
this is a separate model to the MLS style because it's ostensibly public, but the relay and botservs act as privacy gatekeepers, it's much more efficient for scaling up but it is a trusted third party, the idea is that that trusted third party is the team of community leaders
this is how most groups are implemented on large chat systems like telegram and discord, it's impossible to scale MLS style enccryption and it has some glaring limitations in terms of having no control over the broadcast group, where you can do that with chan/nick/relay servers
we are building this to make our communities with privacy and without spam and trolls
normie social networks are literally about violating privacy and getting paid to allow spam and trolls
And we don't only build for money.
We build because this is our home and people like to fix up their home.
And we will be many. Many will want to move into our comfy home. It's a fixxer-upper, is all.

better option is uninstall amethyst :p get some real life when you are out and about lol
if the relay is a realy the delete works and it doesn't reverse because it makes tombstones to stop the event being resaved
other relays won't do this though, because they are lamez0r

i wrote a reasonably decent, responsive UI in pure go about 5 years ago
it's not that i can't think about how to build these things, i literally even from scratch wrote a proper scrollbar for a library that didn't have one
good luck finding a javascript ninja who can even comprehend events and scaling and representing data graphically
they literally can't, and the people who can make them with javascript make all these libraries that can't be used at the same time with each other, because this thing or that thing
it's a void into which i'm simply not going to waste my time going because i like to be able to reason about my code.
We should make all digital "evidence" unacceptable in courts. Its too easy to fake. Maybe its real, maybe its not, there's no way to be sure.
I'll probably start simple, but there's a catamaran that is/was popular to build - I just can't remember the name at the moment.
