JeffG (npub1zuu…c2uc) creates a video showing the basics of getting NDK up and running to create a super simple web app 🏗️
📹 I recorded a screenshare running through the absolute basics of getting NDK up and running in a super simple web app, fetching data from relays, and integrating to a NIP-07 browser extension.
I would love feedback and suggestions on how to make these more helpful/engaging/etc.

Derek Ross (npub18am…p424) Check out this sweet new #Nostr logo design by mbarulli (npub18na…5evl) 😎
And just like that, a wild new Nostr logo appeared.
I like it. It's a bit cartoony, but sometimes we need a little fun. 😉 It also reminds me of the Amethyst logo.

umbrel (npub1agh…mhct) announces Umbrel Home — “the ultimate home server that puts your data back in your hands.” See full announcement and device specs in the linked note. Worldwide shipping begins next month, June 2023. 🚀
Nostriches, meet Umbrel Home — the ultimate home server that puts your data back in your hands.
Run your own Nostr relay, Bitcoin node, cloud storage, media/VPN/home automation server, network-wide adblocker, and 100s of self-hosted apps — all in your home.
Umbrel Home is a palm-sized powerhouse with a 2.9GHz quad-core Intel CPU, 2TB NVMe SSD, 16GB dual-channel RAM, and just 10 watts of power consumption (TDP).
We built Umbrel Home from scratch, addressing all the Raspberry Pi-based home server limitations, and surpassing them in all aspects: up to 3x faster CPU, 6.5x faster SSD speeds, 2x more RAM, and an even smaller form-factor. No more corrupted microSD cards, and no manual assembly and setup.
We’re happy to share that our first batch's production is complete, and we have limited stock ready.
Worldwide shipping begins next month, June 2023!

Start9 (npub126n…e9ll) offers a comparison between their products and umbrel (npub1agh…mhct) 🔎
By popular demand, Start9 has provided a brief compare/contrast between StartOS and Umbrel.
HOW ARE THEY ALIKE?
Both Umbrel and StartOS dramatically simplify the process of discovering, downloading, and installing services onto a private server, and that is where the similarities end.
HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT?
**Appearance**
Umbrel uses MacOS's aethetic. The user interface is clean, colorful, and customizable. StartOS offers a functional design with little color or customization.
**Services**
As of May 30, 2023, there are approximately 100 services available for Umbrel, and 40 services available for StartOS. Both offer developer docs that permit anyone anywhere to package anything, and neither is capable of gatekeeping.
**Architecture**
Umbrel itself is an *app* that can be *installed* onto most Debian or Ubuntu computers and virtual machines. StartOS is an *operating system* (Linux distro) that can be *flashed* onto most computers and virtual machines.
**Config**
Services often provide config files, such as Bitcoin's bitcoin.conf. On Umbrel, updating config files requires using SSH and the command line. With StartOS, config files are presented as rich forms, including descriptions, downdowns, toggles, validated inputs, etc.
**Backups**
When it comes to self-hosting, nothing is more important than making backups. With the exception of LND, Umbrel does not provide a means of backing up services. With StartOS, encrypted backups can be made by pushing a button.
**Encryption**
On Umbrel, communications over the LAN are done over plain http. This means that anyone connected to your home WiFi network can trivially steal your passwords and money. With StartOS, communications over the LAN are done over encrypted https.
**Monitoring**
Umbrel does not provide tools for monitoring the health or performance of services. SSH and the command line are needed to view service logs. StartOS offers custom health checks that display service health, and a live screen for viewing service logs.
**DIY Options**
Both Umbrel and StartOS can be installed for free. As an app, Umbrel can be installed on the Raspberry Pi and devices running Debian or Ubuntu. As an operating system, StartOS can be flashed on just about any computer or virtual machine.
**Price**
Both companies offer plug and play devices. Umbrel offers a single device for $700. It has a 2.9GHz processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 2TB NVMe SSD. Start9 offers the same device for $563.
Start9 also has other options ranging from $199 to $1546

unclebobmartin (npub19mu…jnft) The latest push of the more-speech client allows you to specify regular expression filters for the tabs. Learn more about what differentiates this client in the linked note.
The lastest push of more-speech allows you to specify regular expression filters for the tabs.
More speech is a tool for deep engagement with nostr. It's not a phone app. Rather it is a desktop app that allows you to see, search, and sort through the global feed of messages coming in on your relays. You can add filters for particular users, or particular threads, to tabs; and create as many tabs as you like. And now, you can add regular expression matching to your tab filters. This allows you to create tabs that search the content within message.
So, for example, perhaps you want to know what people are saying about RFK? You can create a tab to hold RFK messages and then add regular expressions to that tab that will select messages for RFK, and Bobby Kennedy, and Candidate Kennedy, etc.

Kieran (npub1v0l…qj49) Support for L402 added to Snort, enabling paywalled content. Jb55 says he will add this to Damus as well (note16fg5h5yhrhag9cd4pztvwqlzj05ur8d7qnug7v0evy6vtp4zjg0s2kmgj0).
Added support for L402 in snort, also added support on void.cat for L402.
This means you will get asked to make a payment directly on Snort to view content.
I'm using a slightly modified version of L402 spec in order to make it work nicer for web, since we can't actually see the response when using the URL directly in aor
