For the latter: if you delete your chat history, but your messages were incepted in flight, you want to ensure the keys that are still on your can't decrypt them.
Not sure about the first question.
In general it's better to stick to a well studied protocol than to make ad hoc adjustments to it.

Halp me understand double ratchet. What's the advantage over just periodically generating new keys and doing DH between them? Would be fairly simple to do on Nostr. Even if your main private key was stolen, your message history would be safe.
In addition to DH keys, double ratchet also has individual "message keys" and "sending/receiving chain keys". In what real-life scenario would they be compromised without also compromising all past messages on device?

It's happened. OpenAI wants to use more electricity than bitcoin (2-4x more).
They want five to seven 5 gigawatt data centers 🤯
OpenAI also wants 36 new semiconductor manufacturing facilities. TSMC is the largest semiconductor manufacturer and the only leading-edge manufacturer and they have 18.
OpenAI also wants to raise $7 trillion to realize that vision. Apple, Nvidia, Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft have a combined $600 billion. Literally the richest companies in the world couldn't fund 10% of this vision.

What's the point of these confiscations? It's not like they're potential proceeds of terrorism.
The local new article about the raid, where they took a bunch of fancy cars etc, made it sound more like a run off the mill money laundering issue. Why would someone who wants to overthrow the government spend all their money on luxury goods? This doesn't add up at all.

A bit vague what the prosecutor is actually charging them with, but apparently they consider some forms "radical sovereignty" to be "terrorism".
Because they found a crossbow, some ammo and a large number of ... documents about radical sovereignty.
I'm not inclined to give the prosecutor the benefit of the doubt here. Until they prove otherwise I will assuming they're being hysterical. There were other cases recently where they used the T-word overzealously.

I'm not opposed to a CEO pushing encryption and deciding for themselves their level of risk tolerance. However it's important to assume eventual failure under pressure and think that scenario through.
To take two extremes:
1. If the code is out there, the deed is done.
2. With a closed platform, you just trapped your users.

Reading it right now. The problem starts with Heraclitus.
Nostr defuses the Algorithm, which he seems to acknowledge is the biggest problem. It also removes corporate control, which he should be happy with. You lose (from his perspective) moderation and verification (though everyone is free to filter based on some government attestation).
The idea of a good tyrant, who uses censorship and propaganda for the good of his subjects, goes back to at least 2400 years to Plato's philosopher king.
Which reminds me that I still need to finish this book: https://www.amazon.com/Open-Society-Its-Enemies-Spell/dp/0415237319 #note1cgg…ak5t
I saw this video literally 30 minutes ago and thought the same thing. I'm relieved to see his own fans disagreeing with him. There is still hope. Its funny, minus requiring verification and stuff like that, he's circling towards nostr IMO. Maybe IRL over a beer, he could be convinced that nostr could be the solution.
When you build vehicles with remote functionality, you get security and privacy problems like this. For the love of God, please stop building cars with the ability to lock/unlock, stop/start the engine from an app or a website.

(many of his fans agree it's a bad idea)
Boy this is a bad idea (many of his fans agree).
And it already exists: China has had a Real Name Policy for about a decade now. They also vet which news sources you're allowed to cite from.
What worries me is how otherwise (fairly) reasonable people come up with solutions that take power away from corporate megalomaniacs, amplify that power tenfold and then hand it straight to government.
(and yes he is openly socialist, which may explain his inclination, though not all socialists are pro government - ask Ben de Waal to join Nostr and explain how that's supposed to work?...)
I partly blame Musk for this, in driving people nuts and being completely unreasonable he's triggering all sorts of dangerous counter reactions.
But fundamentally we can't have a solution that relies on selectively giving "good" governments power and keeping that power out of the hands of "bad" governments. Western democracies are just going to have to put with the inconvenience that comes with limited power.
That applies to both money and communication systems. Onwards!

Alsof de post een camera bij je thuis plaatst’: ook kritiek op nieuw EU-voorstel tegen beelden van kindermisbruik.
Cryptograaf Bart Preneel:
“Als verspreider van beelden van seksueel kindermisbruik kan je gewoon een aantal pixels van je beeld gericht aanpassen, waardoor het niet meer detecteerbaar wordt... Het gaat gewoon niet werken. Ook als je iets heel graag wilt, betekent dat nog niet dat het technisch haalbaar is"

@npub1s6z…wk4c https://berthub.eu/tkconv/get/2024D35313 has the document!
The Dutch Parliamentary committee for Justice & Security demanded that the cabinet (administration) shares the advice they received from various departments about #ChatControl. They want this before the minister votes in favor of it in the EU. And because the current cabinet is a clusterfuck, they agree to do this. That would never have happened under teflon Rutte. And it's a good thing.
That said, this is in start constrast with how Parliament behaved yesterday when they banned cash. It goes to show that they don't recognize financial privacy as a human right, or at least don't understand the overlap between financial mass surveillance and communication mass surveillance. But both are equally dangerous.

Er werd eerst wat tegengesparteld want "besluit is nog niet genomen", maar de commissie beargumenteerde (correct) dat als het besluit genomen is er geen tijd meer is om de stukken nog te bekijken, want stemming in de EU volgt al snel. Dus nu weer het unicum dat er stukken geleverd moeten worden, vergelijkbaar met de asielcrisis.
Er is inmiddels gedegen aandacht voor de EU kinderpornomelder waar Nederland zich nu voor in lijkt te gaan zetten:

Haven't been able to try it, because their creditcard backend doesn't support 3D Secure. Which means it doesn't work with any EU issued card (it's basically mandatory). But instead of admitting that, they just tell customers to contact their bank (presumably to turn it off, which is insane).
The app is a nightmare too, I wish someone would use their API to build an open source client with lightning payments
I have my own e-bike of course, but sometimes these shared bikes are handy.
So the e-bike sharing app Tier was taken over by Dott and so far it's instant #enshittification.
The most annoying thing, and this seems to be a trent, is their support staff doesn't speak Dutch and uses machine translation. Without permission (everything I say is presumably sent through a US cloud) and with no way to opt out. Because Dutch people don't speak English obviously.
So now when I reply I have to guess how the AI is going to mange my Dutch, and when reading their reply what the original English was.

@npub1zy6…ed8c urban slavery resembles in some aspects Ancient Roman practice of giving slaves peculium :blobcatthinkingeyes:
Here's my latest essay, this one on a specific type of urban slavery practiced in the United States in which enslaved people were allowed to live apart from their enslavers, find their own employment, pay their owners an agreed-on sum, and keep the rest for themselves. My argument is that modern-day tenants bear in essence the same relationship to their landlords.

True, but so far the lowering of these kinds of limits far outpaces inflation :-)
The convenient side effect of this kind of regulation is that it's "limit" of 3000€ will lose purchasing power over the years and nears 0.

I read that the official Mastodon instance of the Swiss government will be closing down.
They say there are few active users, low engagement, and minimal interaction, which seems quite plausible. Additionally, they claim that "on platforms like X or Instagram, the Federal Council and the Federal Administration have many more followers." I believe that too, of course.
However, I do not agree with their decision. I think a government shouldn’t be overly concerned about follower counts and interactions, but rather about providing free, autonomous communication that is independent of third-party companies. In my view, a government shouldn’t operate like a business focused on "numbers."
Still, I appreciate their experiment - many governments, like the Italian one, haven’t even tried.
Regarding costs and management effort: an instance with 5 users and 3,500 followers (numbers provided by them) can run on a VPS for €3 a month and doesn't require heavy moderation. The cost for them is nearly zero. Yet, the freedom of information and discussion, especially for a Neutral Country, should always be a priority.
I believe that maintaining control over one’s information channels is crucial, especially in today's world. But, I fear that decision-makers only consider the numbers, which often favor the flashiest - but worse - solutions.
Encouraging citizens to use closed platforms is, in my opinion, a wrong choice.
Thanks to the Swiss government for at least giving it a shot.

Ik denk dat de BTW-verhoging voor kranten, boeken, musea etc echt veel impact zal hebben. Alles zal weer verder verschralen. Ontlezing zal nog meer toenemen. De kloof tussen hoogopgeleid en practisch opgeleid zal vergroot worden, met nog meer onvrede tot gevolg en uiteindelijk nog meer stemmen voor Wilders (of een soortgelijke populist). Wilders zegt dat hij ook niet blij is met de BTW-verhoging, maar ik denk dat het misschien wel zijn speerpunt is. Daarna wordt het weer makkelijker voor hem.

I don’t see how the decision to show closed stores when you select open now could possibly be a mistake. They’re too methodical and competent to brake a simple “open now” filter. The question is what drove google to decide to so blatantly disregard user requests.

@npub1k2a…wvht A casual observation is that in Europe, there are technologists and businessmen, but they rarely join forces. Companies like Google, Amazon, Tesla etc became huge due to cutthroat capitalism paired with actual technical prowess. In Europe there's just tech without profit (as your statistic arguably shows), and sly businessmen selling hot air.
Is this explained by the investment climate that people so often like to point to?

This time I boosted a toot from a few weeks ago.
The bridge (inbox) receives the Announce activity. First thing it does is publish a kind 0 event for this new user (only to my relay):
https://img.sprovoost.nl/40a5c68949d684d7ed1ce51ab8bbe02191da0e21e36417ff59b40c433458842d.png
Then it posts a kind 10002 event (NIP-65 relay info about the new user, the screenshot overlaps a bit).
Then it posts the event itself as a backdated kind 1:
https://img.sprovoost.nl/86e2fbe23e92fd2f28f4e453f010290ad6fe29e42cf2b359fb12bed2379406ad.png
And then finally the kind 6 repost:
https://img.sprovoost.nl/a75e74e808065357c766c08d0e714f71a703b46050f955f9046b6d2249fa329d.png

When you click on the profile, it fetches the bio and all is well:

And after that it shows up the timeline.
So perhaps what's going wrong here on the Damus side, is that when it sees my kind 6 event, it doesn't ask the right relay for the kind 0 / 10002 event. Having incomplete data, it decides to not render it in my timeline.
Another possiblity is that it's not following the e tag in the kind 6 repost. Maybe @npub1xts…kk5s knows.

A retoot on Mastodon is an Announce activity for ActivityPub. Assuming it hits the Mostr inbox, it gets processed here:
https://img.sprovoost.nl/f158bc61865e71d4d55a927e1df7ea80b0aff98eb1b47162502839f7b7c9edfb.png
Assuming it's a new user, Mostr creates an npub for it and publish the original note.

And then it goes and publishes a kind6 to represent a repost:
https://img.sprovoost.nl/e8f57b30994d99dc2a5d508f14d786b0d172a6bbf79ac128042bf1f44a4f72e2.png
And if all goes well you'll see that in your Nostr timeline.
But I suspect the problem here is `created_at: toNostrDate(activity.published)`, if you're reposting something from a week ago like in this example.
Let me try to reproduce that, and then see what happens if I change the repost date to now - which makes more sense anyway.

This was one of those pull requests where reviewers suggested "while you're at it, maybe also..." and so it escalated quickly. That always creates a risk of the PR becoming too big and hard to review. However the reviewers kept at it, and it was merged!

Retarded in the sense of "late", obviously.
Spent time with a bunch of good Bitcoiner friends. Most of them don't use nostr. All of them urged to explain why they don't without being asked to do so. An indication of a bad conscience, I guess that's good for nostr but it doesn't really matter. Anyway, what's their reason? They haven't seen nostr used for much more than "just social media".
Obviously, they're retarded and wrong and I love them. But that doesn't matter either. They don't know that the most exciting use cases of nostr are beyond a Twitter clone and it seems that that's what would make them reconsider it, but I don't believe them really. I think they don't care and made up a bunch of nonsense excuses because they feel the social pressure from their Bitcoiner peers.

Hey, can any of you recommend sci-fi or fantasy that is left-wing in spirit rather than textually? Like, vibes-wise ("libidinally" if I'm using this philosophy term correctly) leftist.
Examples: Children of Time, Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind, Earthsea, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Caves of Qud (game), Secret of NIMH, arguably Sable (game)
I'm interested in stories that give people hope, dreams of what might be doable, get people imagining all the little tricks of the trade one needs to live as a person who is free in a very rigid stratified world.
I am very disinterested in fiction that says "these are the correct morals"

That sounds very cool. I won't have time to run it myself, maybe just post it as a gist? Or keep it secret :-)
Done, i now have a fully working bot that does like that:
1- waits for a message from the reply Guy
2- when found, replies to it and waits for replies
3- if found a reply to my reply, go back to 2
4- else, after 10 secs without reply, go back to 1
It's in golang, i can send you the code as a private message (are private messages here encrypted?)
(I also don't understand sha256 that well)
A refresher on AsicBoost: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/43579/how-does-asicboost-work
So it seems likely a Bitcoin ASIC can't grind nip-13 proof-of-work. Or can it, with AsicBoost like magic?
The event id is manipulated to get leading zeros (in binary). This is supposed to be done by adding a nonce tag and then rotating that, but a miner could of course hold the nonce fixed and grind something else.
Assuming you must feed it 80 bytes, the equivalent of a Bitcoin header, the last two characters have to be "] which means only 1 in 256 nonces (the last 4 bytes of the header) produce a valid nostr message. Or can the chips be told not to grind the last two bytes?
But most importantly you have to be able to feed the asic the first part of the message as a midstate. If you can do that, then I think the message can be of arbitrary length. But I don't understand well enough what these chips can and can't do. https://image.nostr.build/64f59ae794c89961ba32e27307ab4adf297f0a660f5cbd3db61912bc7df5c26b.jpg #note1557…735a

Oh I don't even have autocorrect on, impressive.
* can get it to work on an asic - arg autocorrect
Assuming they fan get it to work on a relay with some merkle-magic, the spammers would have many order of magnitude more PoW than real mobile users.
If it's just GPU then we'll probably be fine, because phones have those too. It'll just get a bit hot when you post.
if spammers want to PoW their spam, good for them!
because that's kind of the point:
now they needs to invest in real-world real sources to sustain their load, so they have to carefully calculate how far they're willing to go with their spam.
and relays can always set a PoW limit that is high enough.
but I don't think BitAxes will be useful here!
fun fact I learned from skot9000:
Bitcoin mining ASICs can only calculate sha256d hashes for 80 byte preimages.
maybe a skillful hacker could make something work with severe limitations on note size, but I'm actually quite curious to see a potential economy of nostr note mining around GPUs 🎮⚙️
Until someone writes custom firmware for Bitaxe to PoW amp their spam.

@npub175r…6phv How do you collect the laptops?
Presumably their costs are capped, but if 99% of it is wasted on replying to decoys that would be nice.
We could make a bot that replies to reply-guy replies with some changes. This would make them target our comments and get into a loop. Since he is now using some sort o AI to generate messages, his costs would skyrocket (or he would exceed his quota). If several of us join to run counter-spam bots like this, he would be soon overwhelmed and have no resources to actually spam people. :-D
Are you trying to get the original paper by De Vries retracted or the BBC piece?
Right, I just circled it to make it clear this one was a regular reply guy, responding to chatgbt guy.
This week I was able to deliver more humanitarian aid to Ukrain than last couple of times. A roof rack does make a difference. Both car and goods have been transferred. Thanks to all that contributed.
Looking forward to bringing more!
Do you for example have laptops (intel 8th generation and newer or MacBooks)? We would gladly bring those to Ukraine on one of our next trips. Just as medical aid, generators, 3D-printers and more.

Nice catch! They probably don't need to rely on the relay mentioned at the end of their reply though. They could parse the previous notes to detect repetition maintain a list of their colluding peers.
However, this might give them an incentive to make their replies more repetitive / less interesting...
So relays can figure out who the bots are by seeing who doesn't get reply bot spammed?
Hard to tell but it could be something as simple as just checking the name. So we just all rename ourselves to Reply Guy to see if that stops the spam.
Could also be that they run on a centralized database which stores the npub from which they send the reply to ignore any events from that npub.
How do reply guys / gals avoid getting in loops? And could we trick them into one? https://image.nostr.build/7ea4f4b9d3ff1a83430fb9d5d31c0baf769913703c01c81249c5f741dd7f128e.jpg

My thinking on how replies should work with respect to edits, without knowing how it actually works...
The edit should point to the original message. Clients should render the edited version if they know about it. But a reply should always refer to original id - even if they never saw the original version.
That way threads stay sane for everyone involved, including for clients that don't understand replacements.
Furthermore replacements should not be kind 1, otherwise they look like duplicates to clients that support replacements.
To avoid ambiguity about what you actually responded to, a reply could *also* point to the edited version in a separate tag. https://image.nostr.build/5a0a6a9dd17751167640e324ec9e8e249823f34ce89618824c3aeac526db1e7c.jpg

Richard van Zwol is lid van de Raad van State, de belangrijkste adviseur van de regering. Als informateur was hij nauw betrokken bij de controversiële inzet van het noodrecht om de asielinstroom te beperken. Van Zwol verdedigde dit plan publiekelijk, toen al duidelijk was dat de Raad van State erover zou adviseren. Na vragen van Follow the Money trekt hij zich terug als adviseur op dit onderwerp.

That's only ambiguous for a tiny number of geohash, sucks to live in #lol
And then maybe even be smart and when some searches for a hash of a known city or country name, return anything with the corresponding geohash too.
That's already been used for hashtags. It wouldn't be able to know if you are looking for a hashtag or a geohash
If # is the character to start a hashtag, what is the character to start a geohash?
For instance, if we use ∆, then every time somebody writes ∆<code>, it turns into the City name with a link that opens all notes that tagged that city.
Same character can bring up a list of locations just like @ brings up a list of user names.

In any case this system is guaranteed to bankrupt anyone who gets rich quickly. So there won't be any net worth to additionally tax later :-)
This proposed law replaces the existing one, there's really no ambiguity about that.
In the current system you're taxed on a fictitious return on investment (e.g. a 30% tax on an assumed 4% return on investment gives you a 1.2% "net worth tax")
In the new system you're taxed on the "real" return, which includes paper gains. That's mainly a problem because you have to rapidly liquidate assets as they go up in value. While on the way down the government just gives you a voucher against to future taxes. For a limited time. And can't be used to offset income tax.
I find it unlikely they ever phase out the old tax; the US income tax was once pitched as a “temporary” measure.

It's budget-neutral on a long timescale (it replaces our current system which is effectively a percentage of wealth tax). But it's terrible idea of other reasons.
It won't. Wealthy people are a different tax construction (box 2). This mostly impacts middleclass folks. On top of that it mostly impacts people who invest in volatile assets, i.e. crypto.
For more boring stuff like Shell shares it won't make much of a difference.

Het is overduidelijk, niemand hoeft meer te vragen (ook niet aan #VanVroonhoven, die weer terug in de partijdiscipline is geveerd) om ipv de noodwet een spoedwet in te stellen. Wilders heeft dat tot halszaak gemaakt tijdens de formatie en geeft dat niet meer prijs. Alles voor de bühne. Daarna, als de Raad van State het gekozen pad afschiet, zijn eigen reet redden door de 'D66-rechters' de schuld te geven. Aan Wilders heeft het dan niet gelegen. #populist² #hooligan

@npub149s…4un4 What I find most bizarre about this type of tourist is that they seemingly and confidently ignore all the examples around them which would indicate they're the odd-one-out. Setting aside language barriers or prior research, it's pretty egregious to visit somewhere and then willfully refuse to "read the room" or "do as the locals do".
But for those cringtastic videos -- which I hope to never see in my feed -- part of me thinks it's an act to garner views and engagement.

*My boss has started using ChatGPT for work, he would be clueless, but my favourite colleague might actually shit herself laughing if I showed up to a meeting with this
I saw another video where a guy who had NO idea what he was doing cycled almost exclusively through the worst tourist-clogged streets of the Amsterdam binnenstad and had an awful time of it.
One of the top comments on that video was effectively, 'Wow! It's way worse than Not Just Bikes shows! I knew he was cherry-picking his clips!" 🤦♂️
I can't understand how people would fly all the way to the Netherlands from the US and not do ANY research before cycling here.
@npub174u…kgft yes, as usual I've had the video written in my head for years. I just never seem to find the time to actually make all the videos I want to!
The video is likely going to be entitled "How to Visit the Netherlands (as an urbanist)" and step one will be to get the hell out of the Amsterdam binnenstad.
@npub149s…4un4 Only a "how" (e.g. explaining the VVV for those who don't know, etc.) or also a "what" (which is not Amsterdam) (from the top of my head, Kaatsheuvel and Hilversum are besides Houten on my usual list)
@npub1aud…az8x no, they do not typically wear helmets, but they do still ride 30+ km/h like they're trying to keep up with American traffic.
One of these guys is going to get somebody seriously injured because they have no idea of how to cycle in the Netherlands and arrogantly assume it's the same as the US.
The worst one was a guy who didn't realize that stoplights are on the near side of the junction, saw a left turn light like this one on the far side of the junction, and started going through the junction when it turned green.
Then he started ranting about how people are always running red lights in the Netherlands when somebody almost hits him ... meanwhile he's the one running the red light! 🙈
And absolutely none of them know what to do at an uitritconstructie. 😬

@npub149s…4un4 Do they wear helmets too? Based on my own experience, wearing one while riding a non-racing bicycle in the Netherlands will attract sneering comments from other people, saying “val niet” (don’t fall!) or something like that.
YouTube has started showing me videos of Americans coming to the Netherlands and cycling around, and I can't stop cringing.
They have no idea where they're going, they ride like they're in the Tour de France, and they very obviously don't know the rules of the road.
They mean well, but holy shit do some basic research before showing up. You're not in Portland anymore.
I have been putting it off for ages, but I'm really going to have to make a video about how to visit the Netherlands.
@npub16rr…y7pc You are drunk with power.
@npub1nd3…207y yeah, that will be nice, but the real thing I want from Mastodon is an algorithm, so that I don't need to see everything chronologically.

@npub1xc6…w09p Weinig verrassend, zelfs voor COVID-19 werd niet naar het staatsnoodrecht gegrepen.
There’s a loophole, though. If the database is static, and people make many different queries to it, you can theoretically sneak around the badness as follows. First do one big “pre-processing” on the whole database. Then individual queries can just look at a small piece of that.
This assumes that the operator can somehow take in a public database, then (using a fully public unkeyed process) “scramble it up” so well that when someone asks for a few disk sectors, even the operator has no idea what entries are stored there.
If you asked me whether such a fully public unkeyed process was possible, my intuition would have said “no way”. Or maybe it would have said “sure, but it will imply implausibly strong cryptographic obfuscation and trusted setup.” (And some early attempts used this.)
Which brings me to the LMW DEPIR paper. What they show is that there’s an extremely “simple” form of oblivious locally-decodable code that has exactly the property you need. It’s based on Ring LWE and while it isn’t *super* efficient right now, it’s not crazy either.
The encoding scheme uses very simple ingredients: it encodes the DB into multivariate polynomial over a ring. The client then queries on a Ring LWE-encrypted index, which allows it to obtain the polynomial at that index. A clever lookup-table approach lets the server evaluate the polynomial without touching O(|DB|) bits of memory or disk.
The neat thing about this result is that it also implies that we can build fully-homomorphic encryption over RAM machines that avoids worst-case costs. Here the “database” is a computer’s RAM and nobody can see what values it accesses.
Anyway this series of tweets hardly does justice to how surprising and cool this result is. Here is the paper itself. If we look back in 30 years I think this will be one of the most significant cryptography results of our time. https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/1703
One of the most surprising privacy results of the last 5 years is the LMW “doubly efficient PIR” paper. The basic idea is that I can load an item from a public database without the operator seeing which item I’m loading & without it having to touch every item in the DB each time.
Short background: Private Information Retrieval isn’t a new idea. It lets me load items from a (remote) public database without the operator learning what item I’m asking for. But traditionally there’s a *huge* performance hit for doing this.
Think about it this way: if the database is public and you’re the operator, then if I ask for entry #22: no matter what crypto we use, you’re going to know which sectors on disk you read from. If it’s a small subset, you can just query yourself on every file til you find one that matches.
The only way to get around this (apparently) is for the crypto protocol to make the operator read and compute over *every single* file on disk just to serve one file. This sucks. And at a high level, it seems to indicate that a “private Internet” will always suck.
After all: the Internet is mostly loading stuff from servers. Computing is mostly loading stuff from RAM or disk. If we want to make those loads happen privately, then every single one (intuitively) now has to have the same cost as reading everything. Yuck.
(Imagine trying to stream “A Christmas Prince” on Netflix, but not wanting anyone to know you have bad taste. To serve this privately, the server has to load and calculate over every single movie in the Netflix catalog! That’s going to be terrible.)
Most of cryptography research is developing a really nice mental model for what’s possible and impossible in the field, so you can avoid wasting time on dead ends. But every now and then someone kicks down a door and blows up that intuition, which is the best kind of result.

Ik kan dit citaat niet vinden in de 69 pp van de Adviezen inzake de toepassing van de artikelen 110 en 111 van de Vreemdelingenwet.pdf (zojuist gedownload). Maar ik zoek misschien in een verkeerd stuk?
Ondanks dat er (te)veel is zwartgelakt, bij snelle lezing bevat het interessante informatie. Zoals:
"Volgens BZK CZW is er geen sprake van een noodsituatie die de activering van artikel 110 en artikel 111 Vreemdelingenwet rechtvaardigt. Inwerkingstelling daarvan zou dan ook uit het regeerprogramma moeten worden gehaald"

I knew LinkedIn was a giant piece of shit, so this just confirmed it. You get locked out if you don't verify identity in a certain period of time. A smart phone and app is required in order to upload verification data (government id and a selfie). You cannot contact support unless to can sign in.
So to recap, I cannot access, edit, or delete my account without sign in, I cannot sign in unless I verify my identity, I cannot verify my identity without a smart phone and their fucking app, I cannot contact support to help me without access.
This is by design. Instagram and Snapchat also require the app to be installed on a smart phone before web access can be temporarily authorized.

I don't know, that's what I was asking about.
In any case if the answer were "yes" (trader) then Apple has to doxx me. So I'd remove the book in that case.
Would you say this is bad on the part of the EU or Apple though? I don't really know anything about this.
Oh and: single long press report and mute for reply persons.
> Trader self assessment: Find information about how to know if you are a trad
Leads to:
> Apple can’t determine whether you’re a trader.
And:
> To determine if you’re a trader, you should consider a range of non-exhaustive and non-exclusive factors (see those listed on page 2 in the EC’s Guidance), which may include ....

Wat een goed interview over armoede.

Oh yes Neo, the "ethereum of China" - except afaik they copied @npub1zfy…m60l 's NBitcoin code with all the original op codes in place (or they ported the script code from Bitcoin Core with comments and all).
Doesn't it point you to a link that's supposed to help you decide if you're a trader or not?
I mean: a what does "trader" mean here? I wrote a book. I paid for my editor and other things as a business expense, so I consider royalties to be revenue. Does that make me a "trader"? What even is that? Why does the EU want to know that?
Me listening to a Mandarin Bitcoinish space:
"Oh, wait you played with PlusToken - you're an OG!"
"You made money on Neo?"
Curb Your Enthusiasm music playing in my head..."PlusToken was a ponzi scheme that operated worldwide but mainly had investors in China and South Korea."
I've gotten two of these mails and still do not understand what they're asking me.
So I see three options:
1. they're just bad at explaining; or
2. their lawyers told them to keep it vague; or
3. they're doing malicious compliance and/or lobbying by making it intentionally confusing, so authors and publishers blame the EU
(3) would then help them with other aspects of DSA that are unrelated to books.
If I had to bet it's (1) though - the iBooks department is probably too low on their list of things to spend any attention on, so they don't bother making this compliance step easy to understand.
Is what they're saying about the DSA wrong then? I'd honestly never heard of it.

I already removed my ebook from sale because the tiny number of sales isn't worth the bookkeeping overhead. People can just buy it with Bitcoin from my own site. So I'm sure why I still get this reminder.
That said, what the actual fuck is this about? Is Apple being deliberately obtuse in their communication so everyone hates the #DSA?

In this case it was specifically about *re*play. I would watch a video, scroll onwards, close the app and then the next time I open the app it starts blaring at me.
But agree auto-play in general is terrible. And without auto-play, you can usually just enable audio by default.
But if audio remains off by default, then if I turn it on, it should restart playback.
I guess someone who only watches the first five seconds might not realize it's an AI voice parody. But such a person shouldn't vote.

i wish any nostr client had this, auto play is absolutely awful especially if people post a ton of moving stuff at the same time

What I fail to understand is why criminals keep using these niche tools.
They got away with never disclosing the method used against Encrochat. That says a lot about the ethics involved, but ultimately isn't that important: centralized systems gonna single point of failure.
I saw that they'll need to check with the court to see if the way they "hacked" the network was legal.
Yes, governments want privacy for themselves.
The mad thing is they're still gonna need something properly encrypted themselves
I don't know about "globalists". Europol is mostly interested in stomping out privacy, I don't think they care about free speech one way or the other. They are many such actors with narrow interests, which when combined form a threat to both these things.
@npub1msx…nsf3 super, dank je!
Globalists won't stop until they've stamped out all privacy and free speech.
> Private companies that wish to ensure their services are used in compliance with the law also have an important role to play. They must ensure that their platforms are not safe havens for criminals and should provide mechanisms for lawful data access under judicial oversight and in full respect of fundamental rights.

They can't even hide their malicious motives: this is about encryption, not crime.

Following these operations, numerous once-popular encrypted services have been shut down or disrupted, leading to a splintering of the market.
And once more a privacy tool is attacked by state actors who frame it as "crime tool". They would not hesitate to take down Signal if it was politically viable.

That sounds more reasonable from a privacy point of view, only broadcasting IP addresses with some reasonable suspicion.
Relays can use that info directly, but clients could also tell their relay to filter from a given IP address (though that's a bit dangerous as an attacker could use it to confirm that an IP address is used by some npub).
Even geen updates, kwajongens hebben het op tweedekamer.nl voorzien...

Thinking about a noteguard filter that broadcasts nostr notes of the IP address of bots that spam my relay. Then other public relays could read that note and add it to their block list automatically (if they trust me).
Or could be at least be interesting as a diagnostic tool, could follow that account to monitor attacks.
Would be happy if the person spamming me right now gets banned from all public relays. Spammers don’t get censorship resistance on public relays, sorry. #note14dq…36ez

Though I'm sure if that's a routing or an LND issue.
Dank @npub1yd9…wn34 voor dit duidelijke artikel! https://ibestuur.nl/artikel/indringende-oproep-aan-kabinet-om-csam-verordening-niet-te-steunen/ "Indringende oproep aan kabinet om CSAM-verordening niet te steunen"
Last three weeks I've been working on improving payments. Critical to this are five things:
1. Better payment routing, a-la min-cost-flow.
2. Better low-level payment injection API
3. Simpler, more reliable implementation.
4. Better simulation and realistic testing.
5. Better gossip maintenance.
For the first, I took the heart off renepay to make "askrene" the payment oracle, which provides "getroutes" for other plugins to use. A primitive version shipped in the current release, but it's already getting better as I start to use it.
Today I finished "injectpaymentonion" which takes incoming payments the same way we deal with incoming HTLCs, unifying things that were previously difficult, like self-pay and bolt12 blinded paths that begin at our own node.
Tying these together is a new plug-in called "xpay". This calls getroutes then injectpaymentonion, then iterates as results come back, feeding back information to askrene as we learn more about the network.
To figure out how well this actually performs, I've got a new format for representing topology, with minimal information (no node names, just channel capacities, details and topology). A simple tool compresses this from a node's gossip store (and decompress back for use). The result is small enough that we can include graph snapshots on our repository for testing.
Then I have written a fake "channeld" which simulates payments through this graph (it knows all the secret keys). This needs to be enhanced with simulating capacity of the channels (deterministically, based on a seed value) and realistic network delays, but it already does MPP timeouts and checks fees and cltv delays.
This should allow me to test this system's performance in a way that mirrors what people actually see, and also measure it against what we have now. It may uncover bugs, but even better it will let me know where to optimize (min cost flow can definitely be a CPU hog!).
And @nprofile…zu7w is working on ideas for more aggressive gossip gathering: if we're missing part of the map we cannot expect to have reliable payments!

Thankfully battery life seems to be improving inversely proportional to Moore's law slowing down. Going two years on the same battery used to be very challenging.
In this case I skipped one year of out five, and the last year I did feel better when carrying a power bank just in case.
My iPhone X didn't have the 80% charge cap IIRC. Using that most of the time, I suspect my iPhone 15 battery will last at least 4 years. Which means it's probably more likely to die from me dropping it.
Might have to stop using Nostr with ten relays over wireguard with 5G at some point :-)
The iPhone X never felt slow, unlike earlier generations. Though it helps that I don't play games.
The new camera aid seems handy, as I still find it hard to press the shutter without moving the device. Though the stabilizers do their job.
I upgraded from X to XV, that seemed about the right pace.
Comparing my current phone (14 pro max) against a phone two generations ahead... nothing is really enticing me to upgrade. Summarized notifications using apple intelligence is nice, but not worth $1500

Multiple battery fires in the parking garage under a large apartment building is pretty nasty. And if they're all connected to a charger it could be used to knock out the power grid, so solar panel inverters are easier for thar purpose.
yeah, though arguably, there's so many ways a vehicle can turn dangerous when hacked, that the battery exploding wouldn't be my first concern

There's discussion on HackerNews too about whether these are:
1. Normal lithium batteries with some software exploit;
2. Batteries modified (e.g. intercepted during shipping) to explode
3. Added explosives
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41567573
If true that would indeed be wise. Also for everyone else using that particular pager.
The few smart phone battery fire videos I've seen reminded me more of fountain fireworks than the explosive sound Bloomberg published.
https://youtu.be/ywLOaUJvbwI
Nah. It's a potential flame thrower maybe. But not a bomb. Lithium batteries just don't have the chemistry necessary to make a proper explosion. They can pressurize a battery case. But batteries are intentionally designed to blow out in a controlled way.
It would be good if Israel came out and explicitly said this was an attack done with explosives.

I am trying to use Threads again, and I think one reason it doesn't work is that the algorithm seems to prioritize really idiotic content. The algorithm is probably meant to work well for something like Instagram, where Instagram videos can be mindless floof but still enjoyed, like it's hard to argue with videos of pets, food, travel, jokes, and the like. Instagram could devoid of any meaningful or intellectual content and still be usable, and I guess people still put some kind of minimal effort into making videos, but Threads seems to map this concept onto text posts that are just brain-dead on a level that's hard to fathom. I've been browsing Threads for days now, and the platform is full of absolute garbage and encourages the production of more.

I just hope that if you carry it on your person you'd have enough time to notice it heating up? Small bomb near the right organ can do serious damage.
The actual project is a scam too, but I get what you mean :-)
Small bomb, but bomb nonetheless.
As headlines about the Trump family’s “World Liberty Financial” crypto project appear in outlets like the New York Times, a scam website spoofing the project remains on the front page of Google search results. Blockchain data show people actively purchasing the token.
This is the same scam URL and token address promoted by the hackers who compromised Twitter accounts belonging to Lara and Tiffany Trump two weeks ago.

Calling for medical warnings on food with an unhealthful level of salt, and a ban on their sponsoring sports events. The importance that our society gives to these struggles over nothing is pure foolishness. I don't pay them any attention, and I would be glad to see less of a business built around them.

Hoi! Ja, ik ben de @npub1d03…pzfs bridge aan het aanpassen zodat ie alleen m'n eigen spul overzet naar de Fediverse.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/sep/11/desantis-florida-homelessness-law
DeMentis's new law to eliminate homelessness allows any fanatical hater to sue a city of a homeless encampment exists. But it gives cities no help in giving housing to the homeless people who are looking for a place to sleep. Republicans used to condemn "unfunded mandates". This seems to be an unfunded mandate for cities to make homeless people …
Figuring out how to auto-reply to a DM from the Fediverse that there is no such thing...

IIRC that was via various open bridges, but _not_ @npub1d03…pzfs. cc @npub1q3s…d26p
In any case I setup a personal bridge that (mostly) only propagates my own nostr messages across, so that should not cause spam. Unless I screw something up.

There's some people there I want to follow and occasionally respond to, but I don't want an account. I also can't be bothered to purple pill everyone - something about horses and water. So a bridge is fine for me.
What, so they can censor it? No thanks.
Went to a bike shop to get my new bike tuned up and find a more comfortable saddle. I now know why so much content on #cyclist reddits is about saddles 😅.
Tried all options in the shop. Had another ordered. Went home and put the old (worn out) saddle from my old bike on the newer one…

@npub16kj…n3r5 Is het niet een kwestie van beide? Lenig waar het kan, hard waar het moet?
Het is een ding om een lenige discussie over de lasten binnen ons belastingstelsel te hebben. Daar zit geen absolute waarheid.
Tegelijkertijd zou er een zero-tolerance beleid moeten staan op ontolerantie (vreemdelingenhaat, racisme, en discriminatie van andere onveranderbare eigenschappen van mensen)
Er valt naar mijn mening niet te discussiëren met mensen die het bestaansrecht van een ander betwijfelen.

I used to be that way on Twitter too. I always obsessively wanted to read on my timeline. So I would unfollow high frequency tweeters just rely on others retweeting their more interesting stuff, or even just occasionally checking in on them.
That's why I always had a relatively sharp ration of follows vs following. The algorithm completely messed that up.
On Nostr my only gripe is duplicate posts in my feed, but one day I'll feel motivated to patch a client to fix that...
one consequence of not having an algorithm (as in: simple sequential timeline) is that people that post a lot always dominate the timeline, i've seen this on mastodon and here, it's better than twitter's "survival of the most controversial" but does tilt things too
