Very true. That is, if you did the prepwork to have proper capacity in your channels. I have two, but couldn't zap a sat if I wanted to, because my node is too broke :p
Still ultra mixed on Lightning. Great capabilities, but still feels like an invite-only club o.o

American primaries and elections are noisy, but the government immediately has a majority. In systems with lots of parties, the noise and chaos starts after the election, when voters have no more influence over what happens. The resulting government can be the opposite of what the majority of voters intended, or have different people in it, than were on the ballot.
American voters determine the result, directly, down to the individual politicians in each seat.
Proof of real human. @nprofile…gfql is a 🤖-free zone.

He got lucky for getting zapped on Nostr early. 😂
I keep getting 1 sat zaps. 🥴 They do that, to get their name up in lights, I guess.
Decided to watch news, haven't done so in a while, I was caught off-guard by my parents telling me that the election had started.
Welp, I wish I hadn't tuned in.
This' gonna suck... xD
Can't. Have. Nice. Things.
It's not for my lack of trying because I'm maining Brave but even went out of my way to put the devil's barf on my computer just to see if it magically worked. Welp, it did not. xD
Fucking infuriating...

G'morning~
Listening to some powerful music I found in a playlist while looking for "japanese EDM" while mentally prepping myself for more webdev shenanigans at work. Paaain. x-x
Anywayser. Have a good one! ^^
Been having too many sads, so I enjoyed writing this issue.
#devstr what's your "personal best" issue/ticket you ever opened? ^^
https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk/issues/6854
Fair; but going from literal seconds for btcd to do anything to going instantaneous actions felt so good. xD
Might actually just use a SATA SSD. Though seektimes on HDDs... idk if I'd put it there o.o

"I'd like to render a button..."
"Weeell!! First you have to import React, then React-DOM, then familiarize yourself with TailwindCSS and copy the proper schadcn-ui component and install it's dependencies - mainly radix - and then crawl the docs between all of that. And, don't forget a bundler like Vite or WebPack!"
I have to do webdev at work to write an SPA for the boss.
I hate it. With every. fiber. of. my. body. And I am "only" using ES6 - not even faffing with TS and I seriously don't want to.
This whole system is fucked. Like, actually, so fucked. x.x
Next project I make, I will grab Yii or Laravel and use jQuery or Astro or something... x.x

Harddrive? Glad I skipped that. Went from mSD to...
https://m.primal.net/Ltix.png
(incus container, it has to share its place with other stuff untill I find either a bigger nvme or put more servers in the rack o.o)
It went through a few use-cases. First it was a TVHeadend server, then it became a miniature build server via Laminar and then I tried running Home Assistant on it - but because of Python being a hellhole as usual and some dependencies just not having or wanting to put efforts towards RISC-V, it ended up just passively chilling out there and NFS-sharing some random drives.
I ended up compiling my own kernel for it, dialed in so much so that it was almost ready for a distro. ^^ But with 6.11, a good amount of this stuff is now also in mainstream - so once I get it working again, I fully intend to attempt to see how far I can go with plain upstream.
For the meantime, untill I find a fix, it'll just sit there as deco in my server shelf. o.o
Shipping sourceMaps in production, are we @npub12vk…pugg ? 👀👀

O.O ich brauch ein!

Yep, can confirm.
Died, like a lonely king, desparately trying to stay alive.
Metaphorically of course; my work place just sucks that much. XD
Jokes aside; haven't seen anyone do tarot reading here on the nostr. Neat!
Oooooh ja... volles Brett. x.x
Naja... is ja auch irgendwann (mal) vorbei. o.o
Been here the whole time, actually. Just sometimes I've got more time and sometimes less ^^
And, right now, I don't really have a CLI setup for noting from work. My VisionFive2 died (well, its microSD reader, and I don't have a bootloader in the SPI...) where I had noscl/nak all nicely configured and set. ^^;
I'll get to it, at some point, probably. o.o
A new job with peers to whom I can talk to. My biggest issue with this job is that there is a mountain of work that only I can do (and that's sadly not a joke). But, I have nobody to talk to about any of this, nobody to help me explain things to the boss and nobody with whom I can just nerd out about "Oh my god look at how freakishly cool that new React Compiler is!" or "RISC-V boards are getting damn impressive, whatya think?"
I sit there, 6.40am to 4pm, in a corner, in the office, endure the constant phone calls they do for support about bloated Outlook profiles and stuff, while fixing bugs in our Kubernetes cluster, writing automations in Go, working on an SPA that the boss asked for and whatnot.
The alternative? Move. But, far. Like, I would move to Japan - it is the most far away and distinct place that comes to mind. But, due to my visual impairment and being a foreigner, i'd be having a hell of a bad time. xD
I'm at the point where I run away from IT. I follow a group of japanese idols and endulge in reading about and listening to idols. It is _so_ far removed from IT, that it helps me refocus. xD

You can also zip the whole thing into a "git bundle". Or was it tar...? Either way, you can "clone from an archive".
There are some ultra nieche things in Git for basically no particular reason other than someone found them practical at some point. xD
I run Piped. ^-^
Piped + LibreTube = Youtube exactly as it should be.
...just wish the Piped guys were good at actually writing a good backend. Like, wow. It's a desaster. xD

Was slouching over operatorhub.io while looking for a replacement for the meh Zalando Postgres Operator and came across this: https://move2kube.konveyor.io/
Pretty neat, actually. Does what it should. o.o
Too blind; my 3D-fu is terrible as I lack depth-vision and thus imagination since birth. The amount of doors and walls I have ran into due to this is kinda crazy. xD
I would LOVE to have that though!
Ew. Big corpos fapping about their fat clouds and omega kubernetes integration mambo-jambo.
Dude, I've been running and working with Kubernetes (k3s) for quite a while now and its a pure pain in the ASS.
None of those operators work as intended.
kubectl's CLI syntax is longer than any porno actor's dong.
The Go API requires shadowing/renaming because who the fuck knows what the "corev1" object is?!
I am learning this API - since months, mind you! - JUST to write my own Postgres operator that actually DOES what it SHOULD. Create a cluster, create a database, create a user and just spawn a secret with a generated password so you can't accidentially leak your secret via GitOps in the first place.
Bah.

I wonder if there are rack mounts for phones.
Why?
I could turn old phones into micro servers! XD
Grab a USB power bar as a makeshift PDU, pop them in, root them, put Termux on them and just give a fuck about Android and use it as "the thing that boots it".
One, Amethyst. Technically two with Primal, but it doesn't like my folding phone a whole lot x) Don't think I need much more...
Well... this is a thing... and I kinda like it. xD Hilarious as hell, sorta adorable but also...really, really, REALLY weird o.o

When exporting to the NAS, I had a write spead of about 40MB/s. When reading ON the NAS fromt he same HDD - but now attached locally and not via NFS - I got almost 10x of that (granted, some of that ought to have been cached on the SSD).
That's how you notice you have to upgrade your network, cables and switch. Oh my god o.o...
It's Twitter almost 20 years ago. Free, open, fun.
Don't mention the Bitcoin/Sats aspect out of the gate. Most people don't like that...
Myself, personally, Nostr feels like the internet as it was back then - at least in theory.
Oh wow, 5Mbit mehr. Gerade genug um die ganze Werbung ein tickchen schneller durchzuquetschen xD
#note1yxz…rd7m
Gonna redo my relay list; haven't done that in over half a year.
Suggestions for good relays? #asknostr
Bitcoin VM almost moved... holy shit it really took almost an entire day. Just making sure my copy of the chain is in one piece and permissions are correct before moving the VM itself (incus export/import). x.x
The only reason I still keep it because I _do_ have some sats. Not enough to spend them (no channel balance fulfilled properly) but not too few to just throw it into the ether either. o.o...
It's fun looking at trending and realizing that _nothing_ has changed since the day I joined.
- Odell is in trending.
- Politics is mixed in from any corner of the spectrum.
- GM! (I love those, ngl.)
- Random drama about Bitcoiner shenanigans - and, really, a LOT of it o.o...
- Two to three actually interesting and worth-engaging-with posts.
I still love #Nostr though. It's the place where I can vent, shout and moan about shit because (technically) nobody gives a fuck ^_^. None of my friends read my feed and the few that interact with me are just as much of a nerd as I am and I love that :D
The quality of our police and public transport has been on a decline, often cited as "not very attractive places to work at" - so even people with an asshole attitude get hired. Let alone the powertrip some of those people get - "making a big one" or just finding something worth bragging about often overwrites the morale codex they were ment to adhere by.
Our police is generally toothless in law, but stupid in practice and incredibly dense in person.
Moving my bitcoin node has proven much more difficult than I anticipated... trying to smash almost a TB of .tar.gz into NFS didn't exactly work as expected. xD So it'll take longer to transfer... eh... can't be helped, I guess. x.x

And don't follow yourself. No need for that, anymore.
Now, that I solved for "following people to curate my feed and control access to me", by using more personal and private relays, I've been trying to figure out what a "follow" is, for me.
I've got a pattern for that, now.

Daaaaamn I don't even recognize it anymore O.O
Looks so good and clean now!
Guess this is where Snort's development went, huh... x)
Thanks for the pointer, quite liking this new UI a lot.
Sadly, I couldn't post the above as a comment there. It signed the event, but got...stuck. o.o
"Just fucking do it."
"You can't make an omlette without breaking some eggs."
Especially the latter; you can't learn or achieve something unless you are willing to break something in the process. For instance: When learning Kubernetes, expect to shoot your cluster. Its normal, it happens, you learn from it. ^^
And now over to #Primal to see what the sitch is here.
I had mainly used #noscl or #rabbit the past few weeks...so I felt like it's time to check back if these clients - Primal and Snort - now work properly in Brave or not.
Snort is still missing a crapton of images, and Primal? Well, we'll see...
Heh. Some things never change, do they (:

Watching mdadm sync two 8TB disks is like watching snails race.
It takes forever...
But hey, Rome wasn't built in a day, and after this is done, my NAS is finally back up and running properly... phew... only took roughly two months x.x oh my god.
This series of hardware and software failures was insane, intense, and annoying as fuck, let me tell ya.
All that because an eMMC chip failed, likely due to plugging in a 4GB microSD from china, which probably caused a devastating chain reaction...
#pain
Been forever since I last used #Snort
What's new? o.o
Received my Radxa Rock5 ITX and it just barely fits into my SuperMicro case... finally I have a NAS again. The case has 4 HDD slots, and the board 4 SATA ports. mdadm is still replacting the 2nd array, but hey, it's online. xD So I can finally move my btc/cln instance to an NVMe SSD! :D It'll be less draggy and more worky now, woopwoop!

So I was trying to help a bloke on r/nostr debug his NIP-05 and decided to check if my Primal NIP-05 still existed.

Nostr n8n, anyone? https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/app-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.matrix/
Looking at this as a way to give my non-dev collegues a way to make automations without needing to do, yknow, dev stuff. xD
My collegue across the room is so mad at ODBC driver for MySQL and it not wanting to work properly. Its so fun to listen to our support staff fighting with windows...and the lack of logs and error messages (and details of such) xD
Testing v0.dev ... and I love it, honestly. Wish I could fully selfhost that, but this is really good stuff. Nice UI and it can help me do what my visual impairment can not :3
Listening to Psychostick while working is fun. Love that band a bunch <3
Yeah, unfortunately, jobs pay fiat. 🙈
Does anyone know how to self-host oddbean?

I think I'm being rate-limited or something. Got a warning.
I'm not broke. I'm rebelling against rampant consumerism, by refusing to purchase anything other than food.
Being broke just made me into a rebel.
Knew there had to be some upside.
Yeah, nuts. They used to just die all the time. Like miners, before they came up with helmets.
They're borrowing longer (mortgage), to protect themselves against consumer-price inflation, and investing shorter in a real asset (stocks), to protect themselves against monetary inflation.
People do the same with Bitcoin.
Nostrudel, Amethyst, Nostter, etc.
ReplyGuy is no longer replying. 😅
How many people regularly look at their global feed? ✋
My global is so neat, now. Not just the one from my relay; from a whole list of relays. All pleasant relays. 😊
Yeah, hashtags are nice. I sometime search for them. Or I click on them, when someone uses them, and scroll through the results.
Just realized that changing clients all the time cause me to drop wheat from my list. Added it back in.
I'm legit stuck with it. It's driving me nuts. 😅 I've tried everything.
But sometimes it doesn't work. Just freezes up. Weird.
You can tell who the popular npubs are because every damn thing they post has like 50 reactions and 20 zaps. Even if they just accidentally typed two letters and pressed send. 😅
Almost all other notes have no interactions. Complete bifurcation.
I suspect that most people hardly see anything at all, in their feed. Because they only follow the very top accounts and never look at global, their feeds are note deserts.
How does your result overlap with the nostr.watch data? Are they looking at fewer relays or are they filtering out more of them, to get their 700ish result?
This is my current stream. 🍿
https://image.nostr.build/6b37d1736bb015fee8e39322acbf33acc6ddb2a1374fee93292a0e37ba7b6de5.png
Just looking directly at a relay stream is a fascinating experience. You don't really understand what Nostr even is, until you've experienced "global".
I hate that I have so many people spread over so many networks because I just want to look in one place, to see if they've written me. It's like Telegram, Signal, Slack, Nostr, Threema.... and then begin at the beginning, again.
Just say "No" to cancel culture.
I only know of https://hotrightnow.nostr1.com , but I think it doesn't scan images. That would be next-level.
Like that header. 🤔

😅 Maybe because I'm old and half-blind.
The same one in my Nostrudel border.
Well, our wss://thecitadel.nostr1.com relays is an OtherStuff relay, that we are going to put the Alexandria books on. So, it's the primary building that the library lives in. And we're going to make it so that you can wander through the library and find interesting books, by labeling the books and clustering similar books together.
The wss://christpill.nostr1.com relay tends to have lots of bible and religious stuff on it, and we'll probably we cross-posting to their, from Alexandria.
There could be a cooking and baking relay, where notes end up, when people label them with # foodstr or something.
Well, that's what topical relays are like, right? Like a magazine rack.
Well, neighbors aren't necessarily friends, right? And they're not fans, right? But they're also probably not our enemies.
They're just people we tend to be near, because some accident of fate located us near to them, and we bump into them or cross paths, regularly. We say, "GM 👋 ". We stand at the fence and tell them about our last hike or how we've changed our diet and which books we're reading. We really like each other, or we sort of don't, but we prefer to keep on good terms because humans are social animals and we like having someone familiar respond to our "GM" with a "GM".
And we instinctively know that the people we keep bumping into, over and over, are somehow more significant than a random selection of people. And we also somehow sense, that the people they choose to hang out with, would probably be people we'd be interesting in meeting, than a random selection of people. So, if they invite us over to their house for a party, we'd be more likely to agree, than if some complete stranger did.
And where do our neighbors live? They live in the place next door. Well, what is "next door" to a relay? A different relay, of course! That's where our Nostr Neighbors live: they live in the relay next door.
https://image.nostr.build/d968288c7e4f365d024f25f768d264e20a2b7570fe3bbb63c4bd6763853192a6.png
This is the beauty of the #outbox model. It allows us to disintermediate the really big streams, into a bunch of brooks that cross-cross and meander.
This is what my stream looks like.
https://i.nostr.build/EkFinQtAmKMr49Kz.jpg
#nevent1q…d5pt
I've been thinking about this a lot, lately.
Why do we have these "recommended follow" lists, for newbies, that invariably lead to a zillion people following 100 people? Cuz the big, free relays are so full of crap, that everyone only looks at their follow list feed. After all, how else are you going to find something worth reading, in all that mess, if you can't look at the relay stream?
Well, the best answer is:
YOU LOOK AT A BETTER RELAY STREAM.
What is a better relay stream?
A STREAM SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY WILLING TO LOOK AT.
But doesn't that censor people?
NO, BECAUSE ANYONE CAN BUILD THEIR OWN STREAM.
We can share streams. We can have overlapping streams (by syncing our relays with #RelayNeighbors). We can have custom cobbled-together streams from different topic relays and geographically-limited relays, and a couple of personal relays.
We can have streams consisting of 1 stream or 15 streams, from all over the planet. There should be no SinglePointOfTruth on Nostr, or even TenPointsOfTruth, just lots of plebs hanging out with people they wanna hang out with and reading stuff about things they find interesting, and basta.
https://image.nostr.build/717520697f282a9a414e0d911d7b693ed53d4bb1f276a74eaaa7546de41a700b.png
That delay must be why I've been having trouble with Amber. It seems to struggle with AUTH.
I made got rid of AUTH-on-read on my outbox, by the way.
🥳 We're relay neighbors, now!
The guys are all really sad that the style change meant we no longer have everything in hot pink. I insist, once again, that pink is an underrated color.
https://image.nostr.build/b1f55b05176d0713fb4b513d8a03e1eed391e15fbeb0d5f6e3802a5bf5721fed.png
Which common fonts are the left ones closest to?

The one on the left reads so much better. Wow. Huge difference.
Test of writing to your relay from Nostrudel.
Another question: Do you back the list up, somehow, in case someone gets overexcited and accidentally deletes them? Or should we export the list?
🤣
My follow list was also a mess, except when it had just been nuked.
Ahhh... clever. That's interesting.
Me: Hmm... I could just copy in their follow lists! 💡
Me, half an hour later:
https://media.tenor.com/kReVPYNG9jMAAAAC/10.gif
Are duplicates allowed intentionally, or is that just something you hadn't checked for, because you weren't expected 7 people to moderate one relay? 😅
@npub10np…tl5h do you auto-remove duplicates?
Please enter individual npubs, and only if they aren't already whitelisted. (just search the page for the hexID number)
But don't just copy in your follow lists, as I've been looking at them and some of them are buggy (@npub1wqf…qsyn check your json), full of abandoned npubs, and have spam and impersonators and stuff, in them. It's a bit of a mess. 🫣 😅
Just go to https://relay.tools/ and login, by clicking on the circle on the top-right. Then select "My Relays" and then click on TheForest. Then go down to the menu item Access Control Lists and you can edit the list, there, by entering people's npub or hexID.
https://image.nostr.build/b2a992b1e656a505e923b7bbdd22a748dd68f19ac10c64c839c35e04fdd6aeb9.png
Okay, it's now only write-protected and not read-protected @npub10np…tl5h . And I added @npub1wqf…qsyn
@npub1m3x…a5sf @npub1q6y…t3sh @npub1ecd…s735 @npub1356…805u @npub1qdj…fqm7 and @npub1s3h…75wz as moderators. You can all edit the allow list and add anyone you think I've forgotten.
It's now a GitCitadel-associated relay, which makes sense, since that's who's paying for it. This can be the default relay for our products, for all the socializing stuff, like comments and highlights.
If you're on the computer, you can just use Nostrudel and setup a local relay as an app relay for writing. Then you can toggle the writing on-and-of.
If you're on Amethyst on Android, use Amber and Citrine, and then you can write only to your local relay, by selecting it in the writing form (click on the symbol above the text-entry field) or by adjusting the settings in the relay management page.
But, increasingly, the relays themselves are going to allow you to define what goes where and to whom.
wss://theforest.nostr1.com
I'll add yours to my write list! 😊 I'll be using that list for relay syncing, soon, so I'll remember to get the hookup with y'all.
You and @npub1r8u…fjwl are already whitelisted. 👍
Relays are there, to determine what you MIGHT want to see.
Lists (including follows) are there, to determine what you DEFINITELY want to see.
If your global feed is something you would never want to look at, directly, you might want to adjust your relays.

And we're purple, instead of pink, like before.
We have some private webpages, but we also have some public ones coming soon, like a hosted #Alexandria instance.
Hello. We look a bit different, now.
https://gitcitadel.eu/
I usually build from scratch, too, (have to, builds don't work), but I like to try out the builds, first.
I do. It's the same with the repos. I'm probably the only person using the builds, for instance. Most build from scratch and there are only like 3 other devs even using it. 😅
It's usually only regular users who encounter the problems. We both tend to try new things out, every day, whereas most people have a few clicks as a routine, twice per week, and they don't waver from that.

Just checked. Serif easier to read at smaller scale.
Maybe because the horizontal lines make it easier to read?
Can it automatically tell, to write like that, since the first words are capitalized?
I should do that with the Bible books. I've been waiting, for us to finalize the changes to the spec, so that I can transfer everything to Asciidoc, from Markdown, and then clean it up. But that sort of lettering is so classy, fr. Antique.
Everyone on X has an alt. 😅 Completely pointless and childish.
They want everyone on the planet to see, except These 20 Naughty People.
Let me update the documentation with the screenshots.
Oh, good grief, that looks so lovely. I'm gobsmacked.
I don't have a million sats, unfortunately.
...and 35 are from me. 😅
But, that's interesting. I thought maybe 5 or so.
Alby Hub is down.
That's actually different from the Minibits issue, but it means I'm down on both wallets, now. 😅
You have to get in early, when people are still willing to work for €50k, sorry. Difficult to jump in, at the €500k mark. That's the "distribute the spoils" phase.
I know more people that have been grossed out by it, than turned on, but Bitcoin contains its own acquisition-incentive, as a money.
A team that is too deeply integrated into a movement is just a cluster of followers. It isn't capable of independent or novel ideas, and won't add much to the overall effort, beyond what the individuals would each add.
It has to make sure everything will be approved by the movement, particularly the leaders, and will just emit more groupthink and make incremental changes. It's a mere spin-off, not an independent organisation.
Spin-offs are useful, but if you only have spin-offs...
The video is actually kinda sinister.
Yeah, a team is an attempt to maximize the efficient use of available resources. It's something inherently capitalistic (a group leveraging their joint labor and the means of production, to increase productivity, in the hope of eventually increasing profits).
A movement is just people imitating the behavior of someone prominent and paying them homage, in the hopes that some good things will spring out in return.
I've compared it to a cargo cult. If you write in ALL CAPS or cheer the appropriate OpenSats post, and jump through their hoops, the lightning gods will make Bitcoin rain down on you. And that really does work, so it'll just stay that way, forever. Only a few oddballs, like us, will even try to do their own thing.
Teams, tend to be self-directed and have their own ideas of what they want to do or where they want to take their projects. They will resist submission because they have their own internal leadership.
There are no teams in a cargo cult.
You're out of your league, here. Have fun with that. Bye.
I should probably show more devs how I did this.
Tony was just pulling the API list, on the fly, and had some relays hard-coded as a fallback, if the list wasn't reachable.
It's over 700 relays, now, though. Takes forever, unless you use threading or something. Or workers. Only really worth it for a wide search or for broadcasting delete events.

Why do even 3090s still cost 500€ - and those with a blower-style cooler 2k€?! Madness...
Did you just change that, as it wasn't working the day before yesterday.
We already have a castle icon, for a different product.
Keep trying to zap you. Minibits is acting up. 😅
The style fits the stuff my daughter has been working on, well, and she didn't have one for GitCitadel, yet. We were going to use a castle for thecitadel.nostr1.com relay, and didn't have anything for the gitcitadel.com website.
I suspect we'd have more luck forming teams, if the people forming the teams aren't devs. Devs always think, "I'll just build it all, myself." Someone who needs help building, will look for help.
Your daily reminder that @npub1ecd…s735 is always right and his timing is impeccable.

You act like some of us haven't been dealing with stuff like this since the 90s.
Wake me up, when it gets exciting because a government or international corporation is the one sending the bots. This was barely a warm-up.
There are other people on here, including in this thread and reading this thread, who are in a similar position, but who are staying completely calm because they saw this coming and were prepared for it.
This was going to happen, sooner or later, and we're actually relieved that it happened sooner and we can deal with it, now. There were some clients and relays who had a lackadaisical attitude toward spam-prevention, who just got caught with their pants down. That hurts all of us, but it's on them. They now have a chance to clean up and improve, before we have millions of people on here and such a circus makes the front page news. Or they can give up and make room for better engineers.
Effective risk mitigation is part of the job.

Craft your system, don't just hack it.

This was not a test of Nostr. This was a test of Nostr devs.
Look at your client coders and your relay operators. See how they're responding. This is information.
* Did they stay calm, or even chuckle about it or roll their proverbial eyes?
* Do they see an upside in the test, _even if they failed it_? Are they maybe even making plans to start running such experiments, themselves, in a test environment?
* Did they immediately announce ways for you to mitigate the problem, by adjusting your settings or switching to a different relay?
* Do they even really understand how relays work or why relays are useful to fight this sort of problem?
* Did they even notice the problem and act, or are they wherever, doing whatever, the whole time? (Some have still not noticed 🤦♀️ and others just permanently pulled down the relays they were passively hosting.)
* Are they still beholden to the "all relays have to store everyone's notes, regardless" mantra, or are they willing to man up and have an actual opinion of what they will -- and will not -- tolerate on their property?
* Are they whining, begging for mercy, or otherwise behaving like someone not in control of the situation, or faced with a problem that is beyond their capacity?
* If people were fleeing clients, which one(s) were they primarily fleeing? Those clients did not properly onboard those users, by over-obfuscating the infrastructure, so their users took the only solution open: THE EXIT.
To all of the devs whining about having to deal with an almost-real production environment for 5 minutes:
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
If stupid shit like EmojiReplyGuy can take your system down, then it deserved to be taken down. Get a different day job, bro, or...
Get up. Move faster.
The devs should be organizing these tests themselves. Tests like this should be running all day, every day, fully-automated on a build server.
Load tests, penetration tests, interoperability tests, speed tests, regression tests...
Can't set up a communications protocol and then skip testing the communication layer and just spend all day on custom emojis and trendlists.
You can't see that an OP has replies by looking at the main feed, in Nostrudel, and it's not indicated anywhere on any note, in Nostter. Usually, I post a note and then discussion happens from the notifications tab. But that doesn't actually display all of the replies. People write me and I don't respond for days, sometimes, until I accidentally stumble upon their response, someplace else.
On theforest, I post a note and can see the replies trickle in, in real-time. It's immediate, but unthreaded, until I click on the note and see the previous one(s) listed above the current one. (I guess the previous gets pulled in, when I open the current note, so threading is on-demand.)
LOL maybe. I think there are some that block excessive hashtags.
I think the other feeds sometimes get stuck, or something. Notifications, especially. If you reply to anything, I can see your reply on https://theforest.nostr1.com , but I need to go to notifications, to see it on most other apps, and that is always noticeably slower and more-limited than the main feed because reasons. 🤷♀️ And each one displays notifications at its own pace.
It's all sort of mysterious.
Hard disagree. We've been complaining about these vulnerabilities, ad nauseum, and they just ignored us. They have known about all of the problems and they simply refused to fix them because fixing things doesn't get you street cred, around here. If the test had been pre-announced, they would have just told everyone that it's just a test and to ignore it and come back in two days. Everything is kept buggy and sloppy because of the small market, but that just gave us all a taste of the sort of market we want to aspire to be, and the quality that we need to produce to service that market.
They only responded because it created mass-chaos and they weren't emotionally prepared and they had no idea how long it would last and everyone freaked out. That was needed, to break through their lethargy.
I repeat: THESE WERE KNOWN ISSUES, FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. THEY REFUSED TO FIX THEM.
Give the ReplyGuy a 🏆 . Nostrich of the year, as far as I'm concerned.
That's one of the main ways governments are now ending up with all of this Bitcoin. They don't crack the encryption. They just track the packages moving around and narrow the list of possible suspects down, find the most-likely ones by surveyance, and then arrest them and shake them until the keys drop out.

Used for images in markdown, tho.
Just do it like Onedrive/Sharepoint split. Then you could work on things offline and sync with the cloud relay, when you're online again. And you could keep some things entirely offline, if they were particularly private or in draft format. You could download a book to read on ePaper, for instance.
If they sync, then they don't have to have identical content, you just have to mark the stuff -- or the type of stuff -- you want to stay synced. Like, not much point syncing most kind 01 notes, as that's immediately-consumed chatter, but books, articles, technical documentation, git proposals, etc.
Which just means the rate of foreign-borne workers is probably significantly higher than 20%.

#asknostr Looking for an audio guy who could do a quick loop of the end of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3s5-8gtdbU&t=257s
It is timestamped roughly where the outro of the video begins. Found it at Zedge, some random ringtone website, and the quality was meh. So i'd love to have a proper quality to use for a ringtone!
If you have a second and can cut some good loops, would very much appreciate that.
Thank you <3
Also apparently had the kind as '5' instead of an integer. Doh! 😅 Took me forever to see that one.
I think I found it. I was tidying up the code and accidentally moved the k tag under the tag call, so it seems to produce a second event.
That might be it.
He had a delete script, too, that ran on nostr-tool, but it doesn't work right now.
I can just download the full nostr.watch API list, like he did and run through it. Didn't want to do that, if I can avoid it, as it spams everyone's relays, but oh well.
Seems to automatically produce a kind 01 and hang the kind 05 on it. 🤔

My nerves are totally shot, from trying to delete an event on an AUTH relay. 😭

We are all early adopters of Lightning and Nostr. This stuff is all still very beta.
I mean... Bitcoin is also sorta beta. 🙈
Getting totally eaten up by fees, with the small amounts I'm sending, but the Alby is custodial, so I can't collect a larger amount there and then send it, all at once. Moving things peu à peu to Phoenix, and from there over Boltz to my hardwallet.
This is all crazy-difficult. 😭
I had to make an LN invoice from Phoenix, with a specific amount. That worked. I'll probably move the money over Boltz, once I collect it all.
Thanks for your help, guys! 😊
I just tried bc1 to Phoenix and Electrum, from GetAlby and both didn't work. I've now sent it to Phoenix over LN, with an invoice. At least, it's then off of the custodial address.
I don't see where I can enter a bc1, only ln
That you can put money in, but you can't take it back out again.
Yeah, it was the best for the longest time, but apparently everything is on the table, again.
Even the CLI clients are buggy or outdated. Anything will stop working, if you don't constantly update it, as the NIPs evolve.
BUT HOOOOOOOWWWWWW???? 😅
It's custodial, so I can't just close the channel.
I've only ever been able to move them in the other direction.
How do you move your sats from a LN wallet, like Alby, to a bitcoin wallet?
Ah, yes, it does. Nostrudel shows deleted notes as empty notes. Interesting.
Why is #Nostrudel next only showing me notifications from 8 hours ago?
I feel like the doctor ordered a round of touching far-off grass. This is the grass, that I would like to touch.

#devstr Love this, need this, want this, epic. Hell yes. https://github.com/samber/oops
I am here writing a literal mailgun that sends PDF reports generated from Grafana dashboards. 30 orgs with around 8 dashboards each at minimum. Let's hope MS Exchange survives that. xD
There's no such thing as a profile pic update. There's just a kind 0 event, so if you block updates, you block any change to the profile.
You would have to locally cache the pic and then never clear the cache (which is a bug, not a feature, sorry), list the NIP-05 next to the handle in the notes (easiest fix), or use NIP-81 (which is work to implement, but has the most long-term potential).
On Nostrudel, I can only toggle write-access, not read-access, which is frustrating. Guess I'll go back to only my mailboxes.
@npub10np…tl5h do you have a solution to the ReplyGirl, ReplyGuy, and the "subtle reply anon" bots that are flooding the feeds?
#Nostr is where you can have any profile you want, so long as it never changes.
The consequences are objectively smaller.
Should I adopt his profile pic and handle? 🤔
Most people like the profile pic changing. It's the only personal touch our profiles really have.
But no. We don't do that here. We are all anon here or we want to be frozen in time at 22.
For every person who is horrified at seeing my new PfP, there are at least 10 who can't see the new PfP and ask me how to fix that, because the clients cache everything and the relays refuse to update profiles, even if I broadcast it. People are still zapping me on Alby because they can't see that I changed to Minibits, so I had to link the wallets.
Every client currently displays a different version of my profile. Some from over a year ago.
And I'm the only person who can prove that because most other people are literally terrified of changing anything ever. Which is just going to get worse, if every typo correction or new banner image results in thousands of people receiving a message in their client. Everyone now knows that they can't change anything because it creates a flood of spam, and there's no point in changing anything, as so many people refuse to accept it or don't even see the changes.
Profile stasis.
Also doesn't make sense to bother with cryptographic keys and NIP-05s, if users insist on identifying people they know by picture. Anyone can just copy my picture link and put it in their profile. Same with my handle. It is not a unique identifier, it's just a convenience or decoration.
It's not only risky, it's nearly impossible.
Most clients don't pin notes effectively, or at all, and the timelines are a linear shit-show, so the PfP is the only place you can put a new picture, where most of your followers will see it. I used to just pin them to the top of my feed, on Twitter, and had a painting as an avatar. Everyone arriving new or just curious could see the new picture and the avatar hardly ever changed.
Well, I just unfollowed him, so I hope he's happy with the result.
Okay, I've now responded to the many complaints about seeing changing pictures of me in the profile pic.
Going anon, again.
I just interviewed for a position doing SAP migrations. 😅
Yeah, the prices I named were for something larger or more complicated, like Highlighter.
For someone with a smaller project, I'd probably also do more design/workflow work and help them market. I have a powerful npub.
It wouldn't even only be me. My husband is a software engineer specialized in QA and doing code reviews, and DevOps stuff, and I bet I could get the GitCitadel team to help me out, if the workload rose.
We're also good at Project Management and etc.
Gherkin is always nice, and mockups, screen shots, etc.
I'm sorta overqualified to test the current Nostr projects, but I figure that they might eventually get bigger, and then my market would expand and I'd already have customers.
Testing has fixed costs, is the thing, as I have to "read" into their system and understand their application and business logic, in order to test. Which I'm really good at, but still. It's not much different from coding bounties, in that way, but each testing round would be more efficient, so I'd expect less pay for them.
I'm just finding the other sw projects "out there" so soul-crushing. It's like, I'm trying to end your business model in my side-gig. This is gonna get complicated. 🙄
Hmm... good question. 🤔 If I were paid in sats, I'd probably expect less than from a fiat company, for starters.
I tend to be really fast, which is probably bad for any model that involves paying by hour. I guess, maybe, depends on the size and complexity of the project, with a lump sum per project, maybe 200k sats for a detailed manual test report with improvement suggestions, with 100k for a follow-up test. More for automation.
I see these jobs and apply and they call me up and it's like... ugh. I'd rather be testing Nostr stuff.
Question:
Do you think there's interest in software QA consulting on here? 🤔 Like, a testing bounty or something?
#asknostr
Might make sense to make it separate, in any case, as we might use it for a different application, later.

Another thing y'all think you want, is having a wife with no marketable skills, who just expected you to be the exclusive breadwinner your whole marriage.
That actually sucked for men. It did.
The fact that women could do a lot of things doesn't mean that they all did them equally well. And how hard was it, to serve corn pone, pickled beans, and pottage every damn day? People around here used to eat 15 variations of dumpling and bread, bread, bread...
Nowadays, y'all expect us to cook steak dinners and serve organic vegetable julienne, like you're living in a permanent episode of Downton Abbey. 😅
Would you really want to wear homespun and wear clothes full of patches? Nowadays, you can just go buy new clothes and the seams are straight, and you can just throw them in the washing machine, when they are dirty.
Y'all romanticize everyone's crappy life.
Would my husband trade me in for some illiterate, toothless woman, who smelled bad and served him boiled potatoes and sauerkraut for dinner, and died giving birth to his 12th kid?
Nope.
I think modern men have an ahistorical view of female beauty, so the concept of universal marriage sounds more appealing than it was. We can't go back to that era, and I doubt anyone born today would actually be willing to do so, if they saw what life back then was actually like.
I doubt modern men would be willing to marry many of the women their grandfathers and great-grandfathers were marrying, and they would be dismayed at how quickly women aged.
There is a German phrase "Every child costs one tooth" and women where having 6 kids. You do the math.
If everyone gets a wife, that means you have hardly any choice in which wife you get. Think about it.

Grafana is killing me right now. I still have not fully learned it and now it is falling on my feet like a cinder block... This is bad. Real bad. :/
We have duplicating Alerts in OnCall - or rather, they just kinda... come back, with the resolution notes disappearing outright. This is so weird o.o...
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I mentioned Bowie above.
I am unapologetically eurocentered and straight as a rod.
I think, what's mostly changed is that it's become an ingrained part of the culture and people have vocabulary for self-identifying, now.
People didn't call it "queer" or "trans" back then. They'd just talk about how they wouldn't let themselves be caged in by sexual dichotomy.
Remember the shoulder pads? 😅
Even our communion dresses had shoulder pads!
LOL I must be old enough to be your mom, then, because I remember the 80s.
You have to remember that the historical pics and videos people show on the Internet (look, everyone looked like a movie star!) is often showing views of people in the upper class. I was in the working class, so I was seeing normal people.
People were thinner, but that often actually made their faces and figures less appealing. A minimum of fat hides asymmetry, reduces facial aging, and makes womens' figures curvier. Women had no boobs.
The androgyny was off the charts. I'd forgotten about that, but watching some flashback documentaries and everyone looked androgynous. Both from their physiognomy, makeup, and from the fashion.
I guess they died out.
People are better-looking, now, than when I was a kid, but you can't tell because so many of them got really really fat.
I don't really get the point of man-caves.
Around here, men stay in the living room or their office. Woman are in the kitchen. The kitchen has a comfy chair or an Eckbank, but it's like a train station.
It's the wives who need a room of their own. 😭

Imagine this:
You have a relay on your phone, with read access limited by thumbprint or password, that stores the notes from your private chats.
You have a relay on your company laptop, with your local copies of the documents you work on, and they auto-fetch every 5 minutes and indicate any changes your colleagues made, that have been pushed to the department relay. But you can ignore that and just focus on your local files.
Your boss has access to your depf. relay and to the one for the personnel department and to the one for his second department in Paris.
You also have access to the Inhouse Design Team relay, whose members are spread out all over the company's international offices.
These relays are all authorized and/or behind a VPN, and function as part of the intranet. Your company also has an Internet relay, with their marketing blog, support ticket webform, and the sales website.
Your Design Team calendar, your dept. chat, your documents, your to-do list and kanban board, your eBooks, your code, your media, your UML diagrams, your LLM... is all searched for and found through the relay.
It serves your files up.
I love that the relay guys are coming onboard with providing different relays for different use cases.

😂 He likes short, dark hair and most men like long and blonde, so I married him.
It's especially difficult to dye it, if your hair is jet black. End up looking like a racoon.
I had it cut to a pixie, when we met. We're both short hair fans.
My husband doesn't like long hair.
Cloudfodder said he was moving servers and it slowed some stuff down. Should be better, now .
What do y'all think about women just going gray?Everyone says it's making me look old, but I am sorta old. 😂 Like, they say it like it's a bad thing.

Alexandria, however, is not a replacement for a long-form, microblogging, or wiki client, as those are specialized in navigating those event types, which is its own science. We will simply be displaying each individual one, listed in a 30040, as if it were a 30041.
And we will eventually have an ePaper version (tending toward PHP, on this one, like with the upload utility), that will allow you to download an ePUB of the 30040, or to navigate a 30040 offline, as HTML versions of the events (perhaps including the linked data, once removed, so if a wiki page included in the 30040 has internal wiki links, we'd download those wiki pages, too, so that you can click the links and see something). The switch to Asciidoc makes that easier to implement.
@npub1s3h…75wz is all about the data. You'll slowly start to see test data appearing and eventually being reformatted, that makes the underlying concept more visible.
We will not be building a twitter clone, but we will eventually be including highlights and replies (probably not kind 01 replies, tho).
This thread includes an example of PlantUML and LaTex, for those who are wondering what those are.
And LaTex is how you can write confusing text like in the picture below in blue, but get a pretty formula displayed. This allows us to use Nostr to store scientific journal articles, broken down into sections, that can be included in other articles directly or by forking the event and including your new cloned section.
https://i.nostr.build/0ScCqXwWlC2YHSET.png
For those who aren't familiar with PlantUML, it allows you to describe a diagram in human-readable text, and then it displays it as a picture.
So, your text would contain code like this:
``` PlantUML
@startuml
left to right direction
skinparam packageStyle rectangle
actor Professor
actor Student
actor Staff
rectangle University-System {
Professor --> (Grade Exam)
Professor --> (Manage Course)
Professor ---> (Access Course Information)
Student ---> (Access Course Information)
Student ---> (Enroll in Course)
Staff ---> (Access Course Information)
Staff ---> (Manage Course)
}
@enduml
```
And that would give you a picture in Alexandria like this:
https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/plantuml-usecase-diagram.png
In a future version, we will be incorporating more of the various notes and articles events, like kind 01 and 1111, long-form, wiki pages, etc. Then you can add those to a 30040, instead of only using the 30041 events, and they will display correctly in Alexandria.
30041 is only for Asciidoc snippets/zetteln. It isn't mean to replace all other events. 30040 is linked-kind-agnostic. That means you can add anything to the list, that has an eventID, so that it can be added to the list of linked "e" tags. That includes other 30040s. Which means that we'll be creating hierarchical Table of Contents.
The initial Bible has only two levels (because that's all the viewer can handle, right now), so I'm publishing each book separated by chapters. Once we have more levels, we can have the hierarchy like
30040 Bible
- 30040 New Testament
-- 30040 Gospels
--- 30040 Mark
---- 30040 Chapter
----- 30041 Verse
and the actual text would be under "verse".
I'll be putting Einstein's plaintext formulas into their own sections, and when we get the Asciidoc LaTex parser working nicely, I'll change them out for LaTex.
I'll be doing the same with a PlantUML file, so that we can also test that plug-in eventually.
But that's all very much Next Version. 😅 First, we need to get the Asciidoc right and make it easy to upload things.
My husband is both a DJ and a computer nerd, so I get it. 😅
Outgoing introverts have it hard. 😅
I'll be adding the Bitcoin Whitepaper (and handling the preface structure, that'll be a bug-fix to my upload utility), "The Rhetoric" by Aristotle, and Einstein's treatise on Relativity. And whatever else odd stuff I can think up, to challenge @npub1wqf…qsyn formatter and tag parser. 😅
Was thinking of having a "Catholic Daily Digest" entry, with audio and visio files incorporated, and saints' pictures, maps, and etc. As a test for making the daily Bible conglomeration that @npub1njs…7fqx was thinking up. We can pull very different types of information or data into each section, and then mix-and-match the sections for each day. Which audiobook was that, again? I can't find the hyperlink.
I can make an audiobook 30040, like I did for Peter Rabbit, and each audiofile gets a different section, and then we can just pull the relevant section for a 30040 for that day, along with the corresponding Bible excerpt section, and any commentary we can find in a separation section.
Also something like the Hours would be nice.

Maybe you were attracted to DJing because of it. You get to attend the party and be involved, but still apart.
Not really. I'm a total social butterfly, but I prefer to work at parties, than mingle, so that I can sit off to the side or stand behind a bar or something, and people come talk to me.
Need them to form an orderly line and not mob me or force me to sit in the middle of dinner table with 20 people. 😅
Adding follows one level out is clevel. That's like filter.nostr.wine. Love that ability.
Each section is a separate event, they're just linked together in a row by the index event. You can change which sections are included, or edit the content of the sections, after the fact, as they are parameterized replaceable.
Someone who is writing a wiki page about Beatrix Potter, could (theoretically, they haven't implemented it, yet) take the first section only, and place that event in the wiki page, as a quote or reference.
Example of a #ProjectAlexandria audiobook, listed by chapters.

I just did this real quick, so I didn't color the background or center the text in the columns, or anything, but this gives you an idea of what the table-based orientation looks like in the viewer.
https://i.nostr.build/uqJBpEetYWuNexAC.png
Here's how each section looks, in my code editor preview. You could also format the sections with a table, so that it looks like on the original webpage. https://librivox.org/the-tale-of-peter-rabbit-and-others-by-beatrix-potter/ Then it's horizontal formatting, rather than vertical.
https://i.nostr.build/MfwdDCh0K1y7GOpG.png
Here you can see how you could do something like that. Each audiofile in the collection gets it's own section, where you can add information and images, and then you can page through the sections and click on the mp3 files, to listen to them.
Sorry that the Asciidoc formatting doesn't let you see the pictures, yet. It actually looks quite pretty, with the original book covers from Beatrix Potter. I think @npub1wqf…qsyn still has markdown formatting setup, but I made him a ngit issue for it.
https://i.nostr.build/Aie20eHR2CNvryOb.png
https://i.nostr.build/bUVrk3lEOa9u5uuj.png
Let me go do an audiobook one. That's a fun idea.
You can use the events for anything, just need to include a link to the .mp3 or .mp4.
Could also use it for a an art gallery, or something. Include a link to the image for each piece in the respective 30041 section and bind similar artwork-sections into a collect with a 30040, so that you get an index on the left and can page through them.
Or a magazine or journal, with the articles each in a 30041, and the 30040 is a volume.
Whatever.
@npub1xnf…lpr5 will you be refunding the 16k fee, since the channel never opened? I had to close it again, and now I'm sitting on the cost.
I'm assuming the cards will be ordered in rows and columns.
We need NIP-22 for our books and gitstuff. Don't want everyone replaying with kind 01s, but that's all there is, now.
Ah, okay, that makes more sense.
It did, actually, because it showed me the same result that my logging was showing me: nothing.
And run it again... nothing.
And run it again... nothing.
It was an infinite loop. 😅 I had a copy-paste error with a getter that called itself. Looked at it for almost an hour and couldn't see the problem, so I was like, let me ask the debugger, and then the stack blew up.
https://media.tenor.com/3MqRZGRy6x0AAAAC/clueless-my-bad.gif
I feel like the card isn't well-defined enough, on the background. Should maybe be a tad lighter, like ToC.
😅 You legit blocked the verb "to be".
Freerse already has this, but I don't know if they're using events for it.
Step 2... have a LN wallet that helps you figure out what address you have. 🤦♀️
Here the book is, all alone, in the card view. It will soon be getting company, tho! 😊
Had to redo all of the logic, to account for the "d" tag construct and having optional tags, and the removal of "content" in the 30040.

Yeah, I refactored everything and it started acting weird and I had no clue what was going on. 😅 🤷♀️

There is now only one 30040 book on wss://thcitadel.nostr1.com, but it is correctly formatted, including the tags. More will be published soon, for test data, and then I'll republish the Bible books in the updated format.
Had to refactor the whole thing. Took me all day. But it's no long as embarrassingly static. 😅
Finally got my debugger setup, on my new computer, and I immediately rediscovered why using a debugger is a programming superpower.

To open the channel. I guess that they can close it, at any time.
@npub1get…0nfm where can I find that out?
I can't figure out why the transaction doesn't clear. Did I miss some step or do I need to increase the savings balance, or something?
Like 20k sats for 900k sats. I think.
I can't find the address.
I'm not running a zeus node, just opening a channel with them.

So... what you are all telling me... is that self-custody lightning is sometimes basically impossible to use? And that on-chain transactions are faster, but they're so expensive that they hardly ever make sense?
😭
Well, I'm splitting Aristotle up where I think it makes sense, now, instead of where the last guy thought it made sense, and now it makes more sense, to me.

People keep telling us to run more servers and it's like... soon, I'll need to have my own server farm, just to run some FOSS web apps and send people 10 sats.
I have been waiting for a transaction to clear for almost 4 hours, and it won't budge, so I thought I'd open a new channel, and that appears to have been a stupid idea and a waste of money.
It told me that I had 1 confirmation, but then it was like Psych! Back to zero! 😅
It's been 14 minutes and not a single confirmation.
Does that mean Bitcoin fees are up?
Our Alby Hub LN transactions are slow like molasses, today, including opening a new channel.
I didn't even think of the fact that Asciidoc can already have a bunch of the metadata we can process defined as header fields. 🤔 We should probably map-n-pull that into our json tags.
https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/document/header-ref/
Power users will use a batch-script to mass-import with my utility. 😅
Would probably need a draft, for that workflow. A kind 30042 or something, for draft 30040s.
The metadata fields are the same, for 30040 and 30041. It's just that the latter contains content and the former contains a list of events.
Yeah, I saw the title and author lines in the asciidoc header and got confused because there's also a field. Maybe generally have a metadata section at the top of the preview, with the asciidoc header info pulled, for them to edit.
And then we have it prepared for generating ePUB format. We just have to map to the require ePUB fields.
https://docs.asciidoctor.org/epub3-converter/latest/
There will be more optional ones, in the future, depending upon the type of data in the linked events. Like, we'd need "director" for a movie snippet.
So, move author into ascii? Most 30040s won't be cohesive documents, like an original book, but rather someone's personal compilation of documents or snippets. A sort of remix. They won't have an author, but the 30041s might and they'd probably have author in the ascii or the form would get really messy.
Right now, these are the mandatory tags (we need "d" and we need "title" to make "d"):
[ "d", "<identifier>" ],
[ "title", "<full_index_title>" ]
And these are the optional ones:
[ "author", "<author_name>" ],
[ "i", "isbn:9780765382030" ],
[ "t", "<topics about which the event might be of relevance>"],
[ "published_on", "<date in the format YYYY-MM-DD>" ],
[ "published_by", "<publisher of the source material>"],
[ "image", "<URL pointing to an image to be shown with the title>" ],
[ "summary", "<human readable description of the work>" ],
[ "version", "<the volume, edition, or translation included>" ]

Been seeing those around, yeah. I think there's a couple of label bots running around. 😅
And, like, would it be possible to somehow come up with a Standard Nostr Model, that is specialized for events and relays? Does that even make sense or is the data storage system irrevelant to the model?
I'm just sort of ranting incoherently, but it's like...
Yo. Are y'all gonna make me set this all up, for our own project, when basically everyone and their mother is going to want this? 😅
I mean, it starts with really "no duh" applications, like my media server allowing me to tag 20 selfies I've uploaded, and then use them as a basis for generating AI pics.
But what about a community that has a private relay, where they've pulled in or created a bunch of events related to the same topic, and want to tune or prompt an AI to search through their data set. Where is that AI? Is it an add-on service to the relay, from their hosting service? Or is it self-hosted and the relay operator lets them plug it in? Or they self-host everything? Or can they plug in one from the media service provider, that they've been using to digitalize their document images of old books?
And we don't actually need to always use LLM, anyway. You can do a lot with basic machine learning, if you're a dev.
As they say, in this German discussion, you can direct the AI to integrate your own data set into the prompt. You don't necessarily have to train the AI directly.
But even training will quickly be possible on smaller machines.
https://www.heise.de/news/Sprach-KI-selber-betreiben-c-t-uplink-9326997.html
They're already getting crushed by the running costs necessary for AI, especially data storage, analysis, and energy. They're trying to get the processors cheaper, since that's the easiest pressure point, hence the recent NVIDIA crash.
Nostr distributes all of those costs. Since your server doesn't have to do all analysis for everyone, but only cater to your own use case and your own data set, and can run asynchronously -- results periodically updating a data file on the server or generating an event for your (private) relay-- it's relatively cheap and you can buy one of the older or less-powerful GPUs for $700-$1500, or just run it on your gaming PC.

One of the most irritating things about Nostr, are the notes from npubs with high (actually, often absolutely astronomic) follower counts, who declare that follower counts don't matter.
If it doesn't matter, why don't they abandon their current npub and just use single-use npubs for everything?

I definitely want more followers. Please follow, thanks.
I'll also take all of fiatjaf's followers, as an act of charity. Is there a NIP for follower-transfer?

It's very simple at the client level. The complexity is hidden in the event structure. It'll just feel like very simple eReader.

And Finland, I suppose. They have Welcome Culture, too, right?
Need a community with a dedicated AUTH relay and a moderator that actually looks at the relay content. I read through theforest relay, day after day. Basically like moderating a forum, but with lots of different kinds of data, including videos, books, chats, etc.
You can get AI to give you hints of what to double-check, but you need a human deciding, in the end.

Overloading information is something I see as a problem with FOSS. They skip instructions and documenation and just dump their code on the market and demand everyone sift through it.
Ah, that makes it difficult, as we're actually a traveling troop holding events in different cities. So, I guess that means, we need to find someone in Frankfurt?
>>Again, men are angry when the event is contrary to their expectation, for the more unexpected a thing is, the more it pains; just as they are overjoyed if, contrary to expectation, what they desire comes to pass.<<
This is a warning to manage expectations, preferable to the upside.
>>Now men think that they have a right to be highly esteemed by those who are inferior to them in birth, power, and virtue,
and generally, in whatever similar respect a man is far superior to another; for example, the rich man to the poor man in the matter of money, the eloquent to the incompetent speaker in the matter of oratory, the governor to the governed, and the man who thinks himself worthy to rule to one who is only fit to be ruled.<<
Calls to humility are an attempt to counteract this impulse. To remind everyone that they are inferior in some things, and that they will be judged by others, as they judge, and that they risk being harshly judged in other aspects.
Jesus seemed to think that rich men suffer this megalomania the worst. Perhaps, as wealth is so easy to quantify and compare, and riches leads to more riches, as larger amounts of wealth allow for different purchases/investments, which further compounds the seeming superiority and invincibility.
>>And the spiteful man appears to show disdain; for spitefulness consists in placing obstacles in the way of another's wishes, not in order that any advantage may accrue to him who spites, but to prevent any accruing to the other. <<
This describes what we moderns call "trolling", where someone misbehaves toward others, merely to cause them pain, and not for some personal gain.
Another issue here, is the deep sense of pleasure that anger raises, due to the increased sense of agency and hope. That is why calls to let revenge be issued by someone else are both disappointing and calming/depressing.
See Romans 12:19-21 ESV, Bible:
>>Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.<<
>>Let us then define anger as a longing, accompanied by pain, for a real or apparent revenge for a real or apparent slight... the angry man must always be angry with a particular individual... because this individual has done, or was on the point of doing, something against him or one of his friends; and lastly, anger is always accompanied by a certain pleasure, due to the hope of revenge to come.<<
I think this is a significant point: that anger is always personal and directed at a particular individual (real or imagined). People are never angry at an idea or a group of people, but at some personal slight or threat, enacted by some person. That is why anger is best induced through scapegoating (to give people a target for their anger) and assigning blame to individuals or caricatures of individuals.
This one is a doozy. Needed to digest it, first. 😅

I know. I'm trying it out, to see how people respond.
Amethyst is only Android, not PC, and it eats up my bandwidth and kills my phone.
I sometimes use Coracle, but it only works for me in the Kiwi Browser on Android. Otherwise I get cascading permission events that crash the computer.
Trying to use other apps is starting to be mildly traumatic.
@npub1ye5…knpr has a completely captive audience. Just has to be less-buggy than the competition, show the whole thread, and let us sperg-out on settings, and we're chained to his app forever.
Found a niche. Filled it.

...don't get me wrong, it's very interesting. But what problem does it solve o.o?
Yeah, so, I'm on Nostrudel again and I'm not getting those 30 minutes of my life back. 🙄

When we moved back to Germany, a decade ago, you could get the exact same dönerkebap, at the exact same shop, for €3,50.
We have reached The Doubling.
Decided I wanted a #DACH version of the Big Mac Index, using something I regularly buy, so I made it up. 😉
Use clients utilizing the newer DM spec.
BlueSky is worse than Twitter.
#Dönerindex just hit €7,00.

Yes, Nostr is a digital system with a natural construct and will change and evolve and mutate and keep adapting to its environment.
Sort of reminds me of those robotics engineers building flying machines that look and work like bees and birds.
The #Nostr application landscape grows just as slowly and messily as the protocol does.
But this is what organic growth looks like, and we know that organic structures are inherently resilient because their irregular shape and constant changeability makes them more difficult to attack.
A structure that is quickly erected is often also quickly pulled down.

One of the biggest topics, feels like, is information logistics and product placement. Huge areas in Nostr, where everything is very trial-and-error, and apps are inherently difficult to find.
I have a lot of appreciate for Zapstore, as it's given me a Nostr Package Manager, feels like. I hate having to manually download apps. I just want to type "zapstore ngit" into my terminal and have it just roll in. Boom.
This thread is part of that. I'm in charge of marketing, obviously. What does that mean, in practice? Is it all creepy brainwashing voodoo stuff, or is it just good business sense?
I've long been of the opinion that people actually value good marketing skills higher, if they know the "tricks", so there's an advantage to being transparent.
The events and the FOSS add a lot of variables to the design, but first you have to make the marketing decision.
Took us a while to even decide on being FOSS. And we're now slowly warming to the concept of letting npubs "watch us at work", like one of those restaurants with an open kitchen.
You can also market a Nostr app by supporting the wider Nostr ecosystem. Participating in a Nostr marketing campaign, for instance ☺️ , running a relay, self-hosting your LN wallet or running a LN node or a mint, importing data to the relay network, so that other npubs have easier access to it and can reference it internaly, hosting other apps (from other Nostr projects) so that there is a fallback website, submitting issues and PRs to other projects, etc. etc. etc.
Another big thing, particularly on Nostr, is design transparency and adjustablity. The default settings need to be seen as reasonable, but the "innards" of the app need to be clearly apparent and preferably changeable.
high-signal content, i mean
So, the marketing for a Nostr app would include thoughts like:
Will we expect people to pay for using the app? If so, using what model? If not, how will we pay for the app?
Should we list the app on the Zapstore and Google Play, or is it only going to be offered on Obtanium or GitHub as a binary?
Can the users expect 24-hour turnaround time for issues or is it "every user for themselves" and we address issues at our own leisure?
What functions should our app have? What should we fold in from other projects and what should we build ourselves? Who do we expect to use this app and what are features that they would expect or be "wowed" by? What features would repel them and lead to them bad-mouthing us to their friends?
Should we use our personal npubs to announce releases, or have a company npub?
Where do we store the app? How many different locations should we choose and what git servers should run there? Which of those locations do we make public, and where?
How large and performant should our app be and what sort of infrastructure/hardware will it be run on?
Where will the people live, who use our app? What currencies would they expect us to offer, for transactions or denominations? How do they expect items on the app to be arranged, for easy clicking and reading?
Should we consider accessibility issues? What login options should we offer?
What should be in our app documentation and where will we place that documentation? How will that documentation be formatted?
Etc. Etc. Etc.
For those who don't know, the Four Ps are:
Product
Price
Place
Promotion

1) I try to keep the signal on my relay really high, since low signal is more a market for the big relays.
2) Quick response time. Helpfulness. Watchfulness. Speed of connection/transaction. Concept for dealing with attacks, mediation/moderation, geographic arbitrage, lightning payments, censorship attempts, client authorization, etc.
I broadcast some, to get it onto my node.
I boost some, to make sure my 5k mostly-human followers see it in their main timeline. It helps the person I boost get new followers and helps followers find interesting people, they might not otherwise see.
I'm the Nostr Discovery Algo. 😅
Syncing on your own supercomputer? 😅
Use zapstore, to see if members of your WoT are using the same app.
First rule of marketing:
People who are bad at marketing think marketing is pointless.
Brown or gold, sorry, not green.
He says the difference between blue eyes and gray eyes is that gray eyes have brown or green around the pupil and a dark limbal ring (outer ring), with a bluish-section in between.
Oh, I didn't even notice that he's speaking German. 😅
