Last Notes
The secret is to forest gump your way into continual stacking.
ATH? Fuck it, Buy
30% drawdown? Fuck it, Buy
Back down to $16k? Fuck it, Buy (also hyperventilate into a bag maybe)
Yep. The New York struggle is still real for us. I just kick those sats to boltz.
Free on-chain withdrawal is great. I can’t use their Lightning feature but I can buy sats and deposit to my node to open a channel.
Same!
Not going back to Coinbase and swan is a non-starter after being grandfathered in.
I also like that sending sats to self-custody can only take a few hours using the “free 24-hour” option.
If the federal government wasn’t to big and involved in all levels of governance it wouldn’t matter so much.

I actually forgot about that movie. I will take these comments as an endorsement and will check it out.
No one is forcing anyone to buy any of this.
This “free” mentality stems from being the product of Google, Microsoft, and countless other marketing campaigns.
You can still use Damus without purple
You can opt to not buy a hat or shirt
You can make the economic decision to not pay and even say it’s too much but this “everything should be free” shit is dumb.
90s action movie music was playing in my head while reading this through. 😂
I understand what you’re saying and I think the problem really is the size and scope of the federal government.
You can observe that a New York democrat is actually different than a Kentucky democrat, especially on the local level.
I feel the problem is partially because we focus on a body of government to represent 320 million people in a single party ideology.
State, county, and city politics are different even though you will have some overlap and some of the concession voting.
I could be wrong in some aspects though I maintain that if you look more locally it’s a little less party line.
Anyone can downvote. Zaps go to the DVM, and the DVM mirrors the downvotes.
Downvoted by who? I think if downvotes are “free” I can spin up a million bots to cause some trouble or counter balance downvotes. Maybe I missed some additional context earlier in that thread.

The microblogging is kind of a segue to the other stuff. Identity and the social graph people refer to will need to be the basis that brings some of the other things together.
It seems that we’re in the “replace with nostr equivalent” phase before we get to that unique killer app. Or maybe the greater ecosystem of apps connected loosely through identity and web of trust will be “it”.
Wonder how many people have scheduled a reply calling you out. If it goes to 80k plus it just looks out of place. 😂
They used to be used more widely for jobs too. Never understood the jobs that didn’t require access to sensitive data required stellar (the justification that bad credit people will do bad things to get out of debt). I think that went away after everyone’s credit tanked a bit or i just haven’t seen it much more.
Also I’ve come to accept that credit scores for loans are for people who have no collateral to issue debt against.
Is this how the letter agencies conduct customer service surveys? 😂
I think that’s twitters static image hosting server. Like profile pictures and image uploads.
Here me and the brain trust buying all the way down to $15k.

“Because true communism hasn’t been tried. True communism is when I’m allowed to play video games all day or make art. Not toil and the fields in between coal mining seasons. Stalin was a capitalist!”
Ditto. It was very normal to me. Took a long time to realize it was an issue.
This hits on multiple levels here.
I used to think that this was just normal shit given my upbringing.
Not me. I don’t have anywhere else to go though!
Technically they have multiple copies of the data.
There’s “your copy” and their copy
You just deleted your copy. Their exclusive world wide perpetual copyright to your data still probably stands. Etc and so on.
Haha. The other day watching a Bitcoin podcast it hit me that some of this probably sounds like cult militia in the woods shit to the average person.
I agree and before you can get to the “fuck the state” stage you have to ease into it.
Back in my day when we wanted to send the sats we had to post an invoice. And we liked it! Uphill both ways in the snow!

Ah. Yeah Damus is my primary vehicle. I use Nostur from time to time, and one of my favorite features is that it backs up my follows. 🤣
Yeah I think maybe you’re being confused for the other purple cats on this platform who do use multiple clients. 😂
Haha that is one fucking impressive NPC mesh network.
Price predictions are an automatic ignore in my book at this point. The “moon boys” are probably more annoying.
17 LLM algorithms have viewed your profile. Upgrade to pro so we can extract more info from you while pretending to network.
Meh they already do. At least it will lower things to the marginal cost quicker since they can all do it…maybe.
On my way to bed and fountain just alerted me. I guess I’ll be up for a little longer!
I haven’t checked out zap cooking in a while. This is great!
It ain’t the fiat capital of the world for nothing.
There’s a way.

I actually didn’t know they still made little golden book stuff. What a shame.
I mean if you’re not a professional coder you might just go with what you know too. Maybe he was more comfortable in that environment.
Bitcoin is not competing with visa. There is no final settlement with a vending machine and that’s probably fine.
I’m talking less about the asset similarities and more about the participants.
You might be right in some ways
Both private
Both fungible
Both have an "opaque" total circulating supply
Both indefinitely have a small amount of inflation
And would somehow cost 15 billion dollars.
I’m more convinced that goldbugs and Monero(ers?) have more in common with each other than with Bitcoiners.
Well you gotta ask yourself.
Maybe those 33 BTC are in better hands now.
I consider it a damn rescue operation.
Ugh. I don’t really like that.
Less of a non-custodial and more a problem waiting to happen.

Nostr businesses are going to through many iterations of what doesn’t work and what works slightly better.
A good amount of people may not have been around during the shitcoin that was early internet businesses.
Did you know Netscape used to charge for their browser until Microsoft undercut them?
Did you know Netscape before it finally died tried to bundle an email client and IRC client with the browser?
Does anyone remember the hit the money win a prize.
I mean a lot of this pales in comparison to the ad driven monocultural internet we kind of have now (mostly the web but internet at large).
Let’s not go there but let’s also experiment. Some things are going to be shit. Paying for 700 subscriptions to maintain Nostr like streaming services may not be the most optimal but let’s experiment, give feedback, iterate.
…What was the question?
Yes, that the best approach, used for the other services. But in this case, they use a 2 of 2.
Yep. I figure Wall Street moved in so now their enforcement arm is cleaning house.
With the feds it doesn’t matter if they are wrong. They will ruin your life and/or business before any judgement is rendered. It won’t even matter.
Unless I’m understanding it wrong you would want a 2 of 3 multisig. You have 2 keys and the entity has 1.
- you can move the funds with 2 keys
- if you lose one let you can work with the entity to move to another 2 of 3 so while there is risk there, there is also a safe guard
- entity cannot move funds without you.
- I think Casa does this.
Neither have I. There’s probably 12 of us.
Mostly true. They try to verify you if you put something obviously fake. Saw a post where someone put something like Nonya Bizniz as their name and the account was suspended pending verification.
The KYC in primal doesn’t verify your info. You can give them any name and any country (don’t use a sanctioned country. Not sure if it checks for that) and you should be good.
Thank you sir. Much appreciated!
@npub1pwt…pf5t thank you for the top up! As promised, I'm now topping up outstanding balances for those that have tried the new top up functionality and/or responded to support. PV
Hah are fees the “new inflation”? Kidding aside it’s anyone’s guess what 20 years will look like and base chain is still probably the safest bet.
Remediation then: weekend canceled tape backups better fucking work. Cold spare drives management didn’t want to budget for make their debut. No one thanked.
Doesn’t have to involve quitting or stopping anything. For example “more wine” or “increases shitposting” are perfectly acceptable. 😂
@npub1pwt…pf5t Hi there! This is relay.tools support. I was wondering, how's relay life? Can you please respond to this message and let me know that you're interested in your relay. You can use simpleX (link in bio) or nostrDM or simply reply to this message. I would like to know if you're interested in continuing to run your relay. Thanks! (relay.tools policy is we will never send un-solicited DMs, or mention your relay name or identifiable information, it's up to you to get back to me). Thanks and appreciate you being an early adopter.
It’s also because everyone thinks they are a retroactive fucking genius.
“If only I knew about this shit in 2010 I would be a trillionaire”
Meanwhile here’s what really happens:
- Pussy out because even $500 a coin seems like I’m throwing away my money.
- Finally grow some balls to buy some
- Forget about it for a while and either lose keys or just leave it dormant
- Your bags increase and you make $10k-$50k and think “this shit is an anomaly. If I don’t sell now I’m going to regret it”
- maybe you shitcoin for a bit
- THEN you wise up and do the right thing.
I know the above would have probably been me. Especially me simping out at a 10x. I could bet my stack that I would have fucked it up if I got in super early.
Breaking news!
“A gathering of straight white men were observed disseminating anti-government propaganda earlier today. Authorities are seeking to press charges against one of the so-called patriots for potential terroristic threats by shouting ‘give me liberty of give me death’ a common dog whistle among far right extremists”
This is far more likely a scam.
Someone is hand picked to buy TikTok most likely with government strings attached. Everyone will get their cut. I’m sure even the CCP will still have a cut (just a smaller piece of the pie). The “ban” is probably the distraction. The ignorance of our congress is real but also a convenient distraction.
“No. I believe you’re looking for rugs in the shitcoin section. Down the hall and through the right.”
Unlike new years. The halving is seen and experienced by everyone at roughly the same time.
I love that we can all make it a “thing” to celebrate.
It’s a testament to the network continuing along and working as intended.
Cheers you fucking psychopaths!
Much more money behind this but they need runes to succeed or it's a net loss for them and they've already lost millions during the initial ordinals hype.
The degenerates are spending mommy and daddy’s tax return money to post pee-pee images on the Bitcoin network.
Once they run out or money and are grounded for a week fees will go back down.
Absurd. Someone is spending 1400000 sats to send 5000000 sats.
Are these the picture people again?
Amen.
I missed the last halving by a few months and have clawed and scraped my way to where I’m at now.
I’ve shitcoined but got out without any real rugs.
Stacked through the good times. The bad times where I thought I was fucked.
Calibrated my thinking and here we are.
To another 210000 blocks.
Hope to see you either back here or maybe at pubkey for the next one happy healthy and stacking sats!
Feeling the lights flicker with the rush of hashrate. 😂
Inflation is much the norm everywhere that there’s a group of psychopaths that celebrate the reduction of their money’s inflation every 4 years. Can you imagine?!?
I’ve seen these as YouTube ads. The deepfakes are so bad they are like those 1990 cgi making animal mouths move.
“Shut ‘em down. We’re going 420!”
While this means nothing for the network but the whole buzz about the halving does feel very “New Years”.
I think it’s more like winzip and mIRC. It’s just going to display the number of blocks paste your shareware license and nag you.
Hah this is true and even though it’s only $5 worth of sats you can technically buy KYC-free sats with the right info in there.
Good for you listening to a Bitcoin influencoor!
I don’t need Odell to point out obvious shit to me 😊
Fair enough. I was just giving my take on why he was doing what he was doing. In no way defending it.
I am also with Odell in terms of this guy not supporting development in the space as well.
You missed my point.
I’m making a list, and I’m checking it twice, and Im gonna put people who need to face the guillotine on there based on Bitcoins naughty and nice.
Not playing anymore.
Saylor can pull for Bitcoin or he can pull for Saylor. His choice. His choice determines which list he’s on.
My thoughts on this is looking at the forum. He’s on CNBC. These viewers don’t care about it beyond it being an asset to invest in.
I wouldn’t say medium of exchange is a distraction and maybe that the FUD around Bitcoin because you can’t spend it at the store is a distraction.
Also Saylor lives and breathes in the fiat world. This is just what he cares about.
Overall we shouldn’t look to Saylor or ANY ONE PERSON to push the future we want to see of Bitcoin going beyond “digital gold”.
I also agree we shouldn’t LARP around like Saylor cares about medium of exchange anytime soon.
I remember when Matt and Marty started the stacking sats on cash app thing. I was like… nah this won’t do and started 100xing all the numbers lol
First off, I want to say, thank you so much for using relay.tools! If you are receiving this you are an early adopter and have helped the site grow!
The billing system is now live. To top-up your balance or view your orders, please visit https://relay.tools/invoices
The way the balance is calculated is per-month since the relay was created. Due to bitcoin going on a massive run, monthly cost has been adjusted to 12,000 sats/month. The balances have been dynamically adjusted retroactively to reflect this. For many, the balance may seem like a lot, this means your relay has been running a long time and I have never previously billed you for it other than the initial invoice.
So, I'd also like to offer some relay credits to you as an early adopter. Your homework is to attempt to use the new support system to give me some feedback. https://support.nostr1.com
If you do this, it will help me see which relays are active and which are not and I appreciate this very much. You can also ignore this and just top-up your balance. In the coming month, I will be looking for relays that haven't topped up or given feedback and pausing those relays.
Thanks again for using relay.tools I look forward to hearing from you.

That was the previous page. They’re big mad about Biden’s sneakers or some stupid shit.
Compared to most converse we’re used to, this is relatively B+ material.
Surprised that I’m not seeing “prez sez big scam!”
We can’t expect nothing less from them
What else are you going to have in the fiat capital of the world?
Encrypted cloud storage. ✅
Not an expert but I’d figure you’d want to avoid taking any meaningful data you want to hide without on a device. Maybe access it securely remotely? Could be wrong.
Everyone should go check out the spread and fees for his/similar products. It’s hilarious.

Recent finished “Columbus and the quest for Jerusalem”.
Very interesting read that goes into so much that I didn’t know about Columbus, the man, and his voyages.
I’m not even mentioning what I “learned” in school which at best just glosses over it as just happening without real incident and at worst the broad brush “literal genocide” version from supposedly highly educated.
The stories and accounts preceding and surrounding the 4 voyages are fascinating.
Oh and the whole “quest for Jerusalem” piece is another rabbit hole to go down that probably shapes politics and sentiment today.
Every aspect was complicated and no amount of “woke” presentism will make that go away.
Recommend adding it to your reading list.

Final boss is #bitcoin living block to block(meme it)✌️
Finished “The Genesis Book” yesterday and it’s a very well done read @npub1art…m0w5
Learned a lot about the incremental failures that Bitcoin was built upon as well as successes.
If you read this and think about all the attempts, the timing, the public apathy, etc this shit shouldn’t even exist, much less have taken off.
Free software could have just remained an obscure MIT lab habit
Cryptography could have remained the domain of the NSA “forever”
Hayek could have given up on his ideas while the rest of the world listened to Keynes and put the future on credit
Etc and so on.
Give it a read.
Also acceptable.
There’s also the Bitcoin Taco Index, which today stands at 9960. 🌮
Will price in chopped cheeses.
Looks to be about 3600.
He's already sleeling, wont answer you until tomorrow
Do you count sheep or sats as a sleep aid?
I don’t know but if the service has access to both (encrypted nsec and passphrase), then it is not hard to get a clear text nsec. It is clearly stored in mem since it’s in variable 🐶🐾🫡
Don’t trust, verify! 🐶🐾🫡
#note1pzc…f9wf
So is your passphrase salted? Is that saved somewhere? Or you have to enter each time to decrypt and sign?
From the site: “Your nostr keys are stored encrypted with a passphrase you provide and must be decrypted by you before they can be used”
From the Pi Coin website:
“When a node is selected by the Core Team, they’ll need to pass KYC to proceed to serve as a node on Testnet…”
Respectfully that’s going to be a hard pass for me.
I understand that the boat for small scale mining has long passed on Bitcoin but there’s a specific reason why Hashrate is high, it MUST be hard to mine a block.
Plus I’m seeing all this consensus quorum algorithms that I wouldn’t trust to hold. It really misses the point of mining completely.
I prefer to run a Bitcoin node and save (not invest) the product of my labor in Bitcoin for the long term, going on 4 years now.
Unless your using a client that supports and uses NIP-44 for DMs then no one can see who you're messaging.
DM content is encrypted. If you want your DM metadata to be private too, you'll need to use a client that supports that such as Amethyst, Snort, Iris, or Coracle.
Yes, NIP-04 DMs, only the recipient can read the DM. relay holders (and everyone else) can see who you’re messaging through.
So are DMs actually encrypted from relays holders?
Same here. Does seem some SaaS platforms don’t like the known list of VPN IP addresses out there.
I know zoom was being an asshole to me in my previous fiat mining assignment when I had protonVPN up.
Heh. Work apps not liking a VPN is foreign to me since I have to use a VPN to even connect to my work apps 🤣
On this episode of “My Nostr fellows”, IP leaking makes a surprise appearance after being lost at sea for several months. Community is split and some are out for blood.
NordVPN ads up 250%. Stay tuned for more.
The Nostr protocol is composed of relays that can comply with certain features or not.
You can’t guarantee that even if you “force” my relay to delete my content that I am not storing a backup.
Guarantee none of the centralized services are actually deleting your data fully either.
You really have to assume that whatever you put out there is going to be somewhere.
As for VPNs and work apps, some VPNs have a split tunnel or exception feature that allows certain network traffic to not go over VPN. protonVPN has this (I think just PC version, will have to check).
I can just send you a URL there 1.2.3.4/file10.jpg and enter into a local DB that file10.jpg corresponds to this npub DM. Their method was just for easy scripting.
I don’t know if this has to do with that interesting new account or not and the funny url that was DMed out.
I don’t know if images from followers is the best approach.
Right now so many services have your IP and even your followers might find a url or repost something from a non follower that is from a honeypot web server.
The weird url link that was DMed to me has 2 attributes, my npub and some crc value that is provably a hash or some part of the npub or something.
I’d say a good start is that any url or image that might have your npub (or anyone’s npub) should maybe have an option whether to load it or not. I’m sure clients can identify a suspicious url and filter.
I would add “The creature from Jekyll Island” to that list. This was published before Bitcoin however it is a good primer on the creation of the Fed, inflation during colonial and post-colonial America, etc.
This is true.
I think it’s important to point this out and unlike the EV fanatics go around LARPing about how green things are without factoring this in. Also governments aren’t mandating buying Bitcoin miners by 2035 as “green”.

Rain and windy as hell. I saw about 5 snowflakes at least.
My first LAN “party” was at NYU’s computer labs at 14. Some summer computer class I was put in.
I brought my DOOM knee deep in the dead shareware CD and we were the kids in the back playing death match in turbo mode.
I think that helped bootstrap my understanding of LAN networking (and whatever the fuck Novell netware IPX was) more than anything else.
Oh yeah.
I’m addition to home LAN parties I remember during my early career when it was the dead part of the year (late December) when a bunch of us would fire up Quake 3 arena and it was OK because the system admins were hosting the game.
Networking in those days was such a bitch.
Bonus if you throw a switch (1000 points if a hub!) in the middle of the floor.
Wait. So those vowel disrespecting kiwis aren’t on the list? Seriously?
“While I recognize we may disagree over this balanced approach, please be assured that I will keep your views in mind as I continue working to strengthen oversight and accountability of Section 702 activities moving forward.”
Welcome to being on some “list”.
At the end of each month mommy’s credit card bill comes and it’s another round of scammers getting grounded.
These terms are meaningless anyway. The area under the curve (prices) are still going up, even if they slow down.
I also can’t tell if the article is blaming people buying stuff for inflation.
Right off the bat it tells me that open protocols are for “enemies”, using that word as a catch all from the meme.
I am in no way defending progressivism and also wonder if the establishment has latched on to parts of this like a virus and perverted a lot of it as a way to get votes, suppress others, and provide promises via the money printer (I.e. “we can provide for everyone by printing our way through it”). I don’t know…
😂 😂😂 https://i.nostr.build/RdyM.jpg
lol a pleb right now uses 17 Nostr clients, 15 Lightning wallets, and 5600 relays listed.
They fry occasional news from the “far lands” aka Xitter, but pay little attention to it.
They are told to cool it with the Bitcoin and Nostr talk but don’t give a shit.
Bear markets: Observe the panic and continue doing what you're doing. Pay attention to the builders.
Bull markets: Observe the hubris of the "geniuses". Pay attention to the fly by night scammers. Continue doing what you're doing.
Ensure you're buying and holding. Each cycle will want you to sell, either in panic or satisfaction. Ignore the noise and ride the signal.
So are you saying that self custody of one’s shit will help usher in a better era?
Probably the fact that the state isn’t a monolithic malevolent entity. At worst it’s a set of competing malevolent forces competing for their own scams and grifts.
Some in the US seeing this as some sort of plan will push back and say that those billions should go to current war machine cause because their buddies need a few billion in top.
Others will want to see the money go to a more conventional method of stripping people of their freedoms.
Happy new year Nostr frens!
It’s controlled opposition “the way things should be”. Clear good guy and bad guy.

In fairness I don’t know if it’s just a logical progress to full electric. What seems to make gasoline powered vehicles attractive is the energy density, even with the inefficiencies of an ICE.
Trust me I used to be a EV maxi and I think battery tech needs to match and exceed hydrocarbon density for it to be market practical (meaning outside of X state banning ICE by 2035 bs).
I also have concerns about charging logistics that probably need to change as well as the cobalt mining practices that seem to hide the pollution and issues in sourcing these.
I could be wrong and even dated on some of these points.
Maybe EVs become the vehicles in urban centers and hydrocarbon and/or hybrids in rural areas.
I don’t remember which phone my parents gave to me, but the first phone I got on my own was a year later a Nokia 3390. I still have it.
I didn’t have my first cell phone until college. Prepaid minutes. Monochrome screen. 10 friggin cents per text message.
Hahah not since March for me.
Fun (and terrifying) exercise.
Go watch an futuristic 80s action movie like total recall and compare to what passes as evening tv news today.
Maybe it was always that way?
They were. So much so they angrily stomped back on their private jets and took the scenic long route to keep things warm just a little longer to fuck with home miners. 😂
He is also parodied as saying he invented the Internet due to his weird wording about some law he pushed to increase internet adoption.
He ran for president and was involved in an election dispute that was ultimately settled in the courts where he lost.
These things always raised his public profile prior to his climate change movie.
Sometimes the brain needs a little punch in the gut to see that things could always be worse. Imagine being that guy? If you’re a bitcoiner…don’t be that guy.
Normie exhibits this bullshit big brain thing like most of didn’t drop in here a year ago when Jack Dorsey mentioned it. Obviously not everyone but it’s midwit territory to use another meme term.
What’s worse is the “Normies don’t want to do this or that. They just want to take a shit and have their notes posted for them!”
It was the same arm-chair talking points 20 years ago with Linux. I think it was “Joe six pack” back then.

Armchair "conjecture" of what normies want from people who are on nostr and especially HN are mostly bullshit anyway.
If you asked these same guys about the anything new would be equally absurd.
"Normies don't want X, they just want to do all the other shit they do that they are either fine with or were dragged kicking and screaming to have to figure out like they always have".
All noise.
I know it’s just a hashtag but there is a difference between niceness and kindness.
Being nice is a like. Kindness is a zap.
Yeah it’s much shorter than I remember too. 😂
Ihhh yeah! For some reason I was only remembering the book and for some reason my mind remembered this as some show that was on about the grinch but didn’t realize it was just a movie. I suppose my parents played it for me and I vaguely remembered it.
We’re already on Nostr. We can ride the wave that are our F- social scores all the way down!

Not gonna judge anyone for following rules and procedures set by others for them but that’s just not me.
Look the bitcoiner cheat sheet is this:
- treat cast iron like you would yourself.
- sun its balls
- Run with vitamin D3 every day
- Feed it beef
- No seed oils
- You’re always doing it wrong but always have an opinion that the other guy is too.

I can ask about a system that can do this that’s not basically a PC.
I don’t trust integrated TVs. Fuck those things.
I guess a Roku (separate device from TV) isolated and only able to connect out to respective services could work.
You’d have to get network engineer creative in terms of what you’d want it to access on your network as well.
Might be a good exercise in terms of what’s out there in general.
I hate smart TVs…
I would like all communication unnessary to basic function reduced to zero if possible, but mostly I just don't want shitty devices acting as security holes in the local network. I guess I could isolate them to their own network, but I know phones constantly ping everything around them, are these doing the same? I just want a dumb fucking device that plays netflix & hulu or whatever, that I can also link to plex or side load something if I want. Like tv without spyware...?
I’m streaming from Roku when I do watch things so that’s what I get screwed. I know turn up the ads to 11 because of it. It’s on me. 😂
Haha I still have one exactly from 2009. I remember buying it and having to run out and get an HDMI cable and it being so amazing.
Still works well enough though I had to retire it to make room for my little guy’s nursery.
I’m already losing it watching anything on YouTube with ads every 3 seconds. I don’t know if I could deal with that on Spotify.
https://i.nostr.build/jJYq.jpg
this reminds me of school
I know some people who are definitely way down the rabbit hole on this sort of stuff I can ask.
In what way are you looking to secure the device? De-googling? Preventing phone home on a network level?
What capabilities are you looking for? Streaming from a particular service or services? Streaming from your storage?

Headline: North Korean bodegas selling weed for Bitcoin to finance nuclear program says bank backed senator.
Absolutely.
Always makes me think of pigs eating at a trough.
I think similarly of the label *consumers*
I hate hearing people being referred to as “tax payers”. How demeaning is it to be reduced to some government revenue stream and be proud of it when complaining about not getting your .0001% of it back in a substandard service.
Just like your job doesn’t define you, the level of appropriation that the pressed suits calmly take from you (they make YOU do the math) shouldn’t define you either.
I don’t know what country you are from and therefore don’t know the social and cultural context.
I would say that maybe college doesn’t need to be free but just worth what it provides.
Nothing is free and maybe that money could be put to better use by productive people. Especially if nothing is really learned overall.
Here in the US it shouldn’t also need to be seen as compulsive. Most of my peers found their initial majors too hard and opted to go for easier degrees to get the piece of paper.
Yeah I also realized that it’s mostly unusable on Firefox and I think that’s also a Firefox issue.
I just used a separate browser while fiat mining for my personal email, zap stream (NoGood tunes), and snort.
It could be my number of relays and JavaScript VM process blocking etc.
Your process of waiting for snort sounds like what I used to do when I was waiting for my code to compile back in my software dev days. 😂
- Compile code
- Get coffee
- Browse news
- Check progress
Most days I experience some sort of slowness on Snort, but at that point I'm sort of used to it. I recognize it and just refresh or go to do something else, or check my phone instead (Damus). Sometimes everything crawls to a complete stop and I have to clear all cache to do anything.
If it's frustrating for me as a regular user, I can't imagine what someone new might think. I don't think they'll have the patience to tolerate it.
Well I come from a country were education is completely free up to a degree with honors level. And, most degrees also pay students a small monthly stipend as an incentive to continue studying.
So to me, I really find it wired that anyone would get into so much debt just to get accredited education.
The thing is that even with such great conditions, the educational system here is still fundamentally broken as it does not help students develop the skills needed to thrive in life, but at least it does not burden them with huge student loans
Used to be my go to client on the desktop (kind of still is) and be much faster.
I still try to primarily use it. Sometimes if I need to check something really quick I might just load primal.
Education is free. You just need to know where to look.
Now “approved” and “accredited” education you’re talking about.
Institutional education should be fairly priced.
Mass removal of Administrative glut.
Removal of moral hazard that is rubber stamp loans. If you know you’re going to get paid anyway, wouldn’t you just jack up the price?
Because lazy HR and hiring departments believe that the best way to demonstrate you can read, write, and reason for a job is to have partied for 4 years like they did.
I’ve seen a lot of BA psychology degrees for the Office Manager class.
Probably doesn’t have to be said but it’s more of a ridiculous demonstration of how much power the executive branch (and federal government) has that everyone has to pay undue attention to the presidency every 4 years aka “vote or die!”. The “right” person needs to get in or “democracy dies”. Etc and so on.
That and the idea of legislating through executive orders shows a break down of separation of powers.
I’d rather pay little attention to that and focus on more local shit shows.
Not all Uncle Jims are the same huh?
Just VC tap dance talk for “we will host on linode now since we asked them pretty please not to rug us…also we hired some devs that know ansible”
From what I read and heard this is probably going to die in the house and is more marketing mindshare than anything…for the next go around.
It’s definitely a good opportunity to let views be known though.
I just keep my mouth shut and smile.
Nods help.
Bathroom breaks during the obligatory current thing establishment alignment talking point works well enough.
Yeah. Not everything has to be on Nostr or at least not today. I support integration with nostr or more importantly having options.
It took me a while to grasp it.
I had to read up on it and recreate it in code to have the aha moment. (Just how I learn some things)
There are 2 elements of a YouTube style client.
The organization of metadata (listings)
Actual storage
YouTube does both because it’s centralized and I don’t know if it loss leaders it’s service for other purposes or not. Haven’t checked how profitable it is.
The idea here that you can use kind 1063 and host a URL elsewhere works too.
I’m still building something that could be useful for decentralized storage though it’s far from ready for prime time.
Flare’s is probably a good start especially for bootstrapping a set up.
🤷♂️
Knowing how all this shit goes down I’m sure the government and media are prepared for multiple scenarios.
- If it gets leaked it’s Russian/Hamas/Far right misinformation or some sort of 3 letter operation, clients were “playing their part”
- start a new war
- tank economy
- say it was “for climate change”
- continue riding the wave of “speculation and conspiracy theory” so that the any story gets buried
- Fact checkers chime in “False, studies show that human cells die off every 7 years into new cells. This means that it was provably a different person on the island”

I might be bias because I’ve had a year (I have to look to see if today is my nostrversary) to curate my follows and relays. 🤷♂️
Probably because VC hasn’t done research on best way to exit scam on Nostr yet.
Yeah looks like the ladder lost that battle.

I’m currently writing in JavaScript for a side project for something nostr adjacent.
I haven’t written code professionally for over a decade.
So my horrible code is just me getting back into things and also moving away from common JS to ES6 standard.
Skills oxidize quickly in this field. What language are you in? Are you able to share the general domain you’re coding for?
It’s the web browser (and other things)
There is something ridiculous about how we turned a document browser into a virtual machine. The amount of bloat is carries is pretty bad.
I mean I’m not opposed to web technologies but I think this and the associated “anyone can code. Don’t worry about doing it right” thing.
This is speaking as someone super rusty at writing code that is currently writing horrid code.
Funny enough St Louis Fed website has some decent analytical tools to look at debt. It looked like it was over a trillion from Q2 to Q3 of this year but I’m on mobile and the interface is a little klunky the more I zoom in. I also don’t think we have accurate numbers for “right now”.
But yeah “a trillion here, a trillion there”

If we can make a year 24 months. We will literally have 2 christmases. Who doesn’t want that?

I think that just depends on stranger/acquaintance/friend level and is very contextual from my experience.
If you’re on your way somewhere it’s “empty” or cursory. Unless something is very wrong it’s just a human syn ack.
Meeting friends or stopping for a few minutes it means something more.
I guess ymmv and I can’t speak for the rest of the US.

TWAIN driver scanners: “hold my error code”
I was so close to getting friends on Keet. Had mic and camera issues which fucked things up. In fairness all these platforms have trouble with the infinite mic/camera/speaker settings. It’s my zoom and Google life every day.
Really did like the performance, especially shooting over a video on the chat.
Gotta check it out again.
Yeah exactly.
I can see some client using a bot to hold the sats in escrow and it looks for an npub created with a referral link and then as soon as it detects a it can send those sats it will send them.
Probably a lot to be discovered in doing this in a clean UX. Like getting the referred user on a lighting wallet, a quick start “what the hell is this?” Etc.
my mind missed the last sentence completely, that’s an interesting solution 🤔
one-time referrals, not bad, would like to see this discovered further
Maybe referrals using sats. Not sure where they would be “held” but if I refer my friend to a nostr client and they sign up they get the sats. It would be a pay it forward thing.
I would only give sats to a specific person. No faucet to abuse.

This is all client side connecting to the Derby storage node.
It will look for the data descriptor event using the naddr data. It will verify the data with the merkel root.
It will download the blocks and verify the blocks match the reported hashes and sizes.

Happy testing!
If you manage to set up a node and publish some naddress links to files send them over and i'll test downloading.

Unhandled Exception: cannot get to shit.
A lot of Japanese relays block outside IP addresses (using usual geolocation stuff). You can connect if you have a VPN with a Japanese point of presence to try it out.
I get what you’re saying.
In theory though there are 2 things I consider.
1 is that as far as I remember NIP-01 is all you need to qualify as Nostr. Whether that’s still true I’ll leave to others to weigh in.
The other is that the NIP repo only has as much authority as clients and relays give it. I mean you COULD do your own thing, with its own set of problems.
I think this model is good enough and maybe it just hasn’t been stress tested enough. Maybe corporate interests would be that stress test if and when they come in and try to embrace and extend something.
Whelp I guess we just need to nuke the Internet every 6 months to protect stupid people and their stupid ideas. See you all on the next iteration.
