This actually would be super handy. If only there was an Android version.

I've always thought #Movies have basically blown for the past couple decades. Then I saw this list and it is clear, a couple from early 90's the rest much older.

I'm building my own music streaming service. Renting a VPS that can do the job is much cheaper than the services themselves.

I'm on my constant quest to find interesting people to follow here. Preferably covering things besides bitcoin. I don't like to use the public stream to look due to running into random kiddy porn. I would prefer to avoid that. Or shoot the motherfuckers for that matter. Any suggestions appreciated.
Cheers!

I haven't looked at it in over a year, I will have to revisit.

I saw these two Canadians seeking asylum today.

Thanks for sharing, I was unaware of obtainium, it's pretty cool.

2024-02-06 18:27:46

I wanted to scroll the global feed to find interesting folks to follow, but the random child porn that shows up keeps me from visiting the feed. Is there a way place we can find people and avoid the global feed? It is a place I don't like to visit.

I'm still trying to find the #nostr client for me... playing with #nostrudle right now. It seems pretty nice. I'll give it a coupel days.

2024-02-02 15:56:02

Still need a desktop or good web client for #nostr , any suggestions? I'm running winblowz.

2024-01-29 16:19:48

I have been away from the Nostr world for a little bit, what is the go-to web client these days?

2023-09-27 18:31:23

All the things that occupy my mind as of late…
Linux and opensource
Decentralization
Tech books
Training canines
Podcasting 2.0
Web presence
Privacy & Security
Star Trek
Making extra $$$
Ditching the Apple ecosystem
Ruby language
Will the web completely overtake desktop?
That’s most of it..

2023-09-27 17:28:51

I wish I would have figured this out sooner, but turning on block scripts in Brave Browser’s shields allows me to bypass the NY Times paywall. I’m assuming this will work on other sites also.

Finished reading: The Internet Con by Cory Doctorow 📚
I enjoyed this one, read most of it on an airplane. It reinforces things I think we all sort of realize with big tech but never quite put the big picture together in our heads.

I will never comprehend buying the rights to an imaginary item that you don’t really own and can be copied and spread around whether you like it or not. Now, they may be worth a dollar or two for fun, but the people who spend thousands need their heads examined.

If your talking about something other than bitcoin or nostr you sort to have to crosspost to get any kind of interactions.

I think this every time I see a video of someone being robbed, beaten, bullied, or whatever else online. There are 20 people filming the incident and not a one coming to someone's aid. It's a sorry state of affairs.

The issue is there aren't any desktop clients and the web clients aren't very good at this time. I may be a standout, but I hate using mobile for this stuff.

2023-09-22 13:57:57

I think the goal should be everyone banging around on one web client so they catch up to the mobile apps in performance. Not that there shouldn't be more than one, but one that gets rallied around to get things going, sort of like Element for Matrix.

If your tired all the time and have no energy to do things. 99.9% chance it's food related. Go animal based or carnivore for 1 week and see if it helps. Most likely it will.

This is just a reminder that Cider is a remarkable music client if your an Apple Music subscriber but don't use a Mac.

I'm not a super fan of YouTube or YouTube Music, but the subscription to have Music and no ads in YouTube is super tempting at times.

2023-09-21 01:29:07

The fact that everyone I know is on an iPhone, Facetime, and iMessage forces one hand to fall completely into the full Apple ecosystem. It’s hard to resist.

Looking for some blogs or Newsletters that keep us up to date with #Nostr and #Lightning news items if anyone is aware of any.

2023-09-19 20:35:39

So if someone was going to get into coding and wanted to do cool things with #lightning, #nostr, and similar things. Which language would you tell them to learn first?

What is the recommended trusted place/site to buy bitcoin in US? I think it may vary by state also, I'm in WV.

No, it didn't generate one like that

I made my key with Alby and it appears that creates an older style key which doesn't seem to work with many things. Is there a way to convert it to a new key or do I just have to make a new account?

I wonder if Amazon would let you create an account with an imaginary name. Like Doobie Dog Boy?

I'm running my own server but I'm not sure if I can do a better job than Protonmail. It is liberating to run though.

2023-09-15 12:59:02

There seem to be many Nip-05 providers. Is anyone one better than the other. Or just use any of them. I'm using #Iris and they of course want to set me up with there's, but I want to make sure I shouldn't pick an alternative.

2023-09-15 12:29:12

So I've noticed between client to client not all post show. I'm assuming that is due to relays. Is there a list of top relays that are reliable and cover most people? So I can make sure I use them on whatever client I may log in on. #nostr

Can someone zap me just a couple sats so I can see if I set things up right? Thanks!

2023-09-14 16:24:38

Also, learning about Nip-5... which is the preferred provider for that?

Hello, new here. I'm into ruby, decentralization, Linux, Bitcoin, and general geekery. If people could share peeps to follow on here so I can put this to use.
