Running a Linux distribution via proot-distro on Termux is a weird experience. While the filesystem is properly isolated from the host, the process view isn't, so traditional init systems can't be used in proot(not even Rich Felker's minimal init). I had to strip Felker's init down to literally this as a working starting point:
int main()
{
return execve("/etc/rc", (char *[]){ "rc", 0 }, (char *[]){ 0 });
}

Considering your "Windows in QBasic" phase, I figure it might interest you that somebody wrote a two-qubit quantum computer simulator... in Commodore 64 BASIC. https://github.com/dakk/qc64

Well, if you wanted a sure sign that the birdsite's infrastructure is degrading, look no further.

Snort: A great Nostr web client with a name that makes me think of this scene from "Goodfellas": https://youtu.be/hq8ZbzDVCDI
Yes, I know "Snort" is supposed to be an anagram of "Nostr", but it wasn't obvious until someone pointed it out.

Cash App. Once after they verify your identity, you get a lightning address and the minimum amount to buy sats is $1 USD(97¢ in says, 3¢ in fees).

No argument from me on that. It's like they're really trying to kill all aspects of the WIMP desktop model and replace it with a tablet-esque experience, like what Microsoft tried with Windows 8, and Canonical with Unity.

The Fedora folks made the right call, and it's a good thing the GNOME devs came up with the Incubator process. Adding apps well before they're properly polished is a sure recipe for sour experiences.

Tucking all of the Bitcoin related stuff into an "Advanced Settings" tab goes a long way towards dispelling the impression that Nostr is only for "crypto-bros" or "just a vehicle for Bitcoin".

2023-05-11 00:19:01

So far, I've used Amethyst, Coracle, Iris, Plebstr, and Snort. The only complaint I have is that with the exception of Coracle, all of the clients have only a purple theme. Otherwise, everything is already fairly solid.

In most modern terminal apps like gnome-terminal, konsole, rxvt, and lxterminal, yeah. But IIRC, I don't think that works in ye olde xterm.

I entered into the waitlist, and I haven't received an invite yet, so as of right now I have no presence there and therefore can't speak to anything about it. But I'm not exactly holding my breath wanting to get in on Blue Sky. I'm perfectly content to wait until it opens to the general public.

It does indeed look pretty decent, but the name of it keeps putting that iconic image of Ray Liotta from "Goodfellas" right after snorting a mountain of cocaine in my head.

What BIOS was it running before and what is it running now?

2023-05-08 13:44:35

Okay, so here's an overview of what my Nostr shell scripts will do, at least initially:
1. Retrieve the user's private key and relay list.
2. Send the respective event with the appropriate arguments to all available relays in the list either via websocat or /dev/tcp.
3. Clear the private key and relay list from memory.
4. Exit.
Note that these scripts won't be a full featured client like nostr-console, but specific task-based commands like nostr-note, nostr-follow, nostr-zap, etc.

I'm at https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips and I don't see a NIP-97. Is it found elsewhere?

TIL the Danish word for "speed check", and I'm dying. "Oh, there's a *What*-kontrol over there now?"

I think I'll use this a basic reference for the Nostr shell scripts I want to implement. https://github.com/vishalxl/nostr_console/tree/main

They actually gave you a boxed set of Windows 7 Ultimate, *and* signed by Steve Ballmer himself just for being a beta tester? Must have been some serious, potentially mission critical beta testing to score that.

2023-05-07 18:35:33

Thinking about writing a suite of quick and dirty shell scripts that interact with Nostr like standard Unix/Linux commands, when I get some free time.

2023-05-06 18:31:26

Okay, so one thing I'm certain the #plebstr devs are working on is search, because while the basic interface for it is already fleshed out, it isn't returning any real results. For now I gotta use Coracle or Iris for search.

2023-05-06 13:32:53

I think there should be a NIP to add note translation to and from Morse code.

2023-05-06 11:14:11

GM everyone. On my way to work, and checking out #plebstr. Even though it's still a WIP like Primal, it's looking like a pretty solid client.

2023-05-06 00:33:43

Despite the fact that I currently do not have a laptop 😢, I've been able to keep hacking away with the #Termux environment on my Android. With it, I've been able to run various Linux distros via proot and qemu, and even run #FreeDOS for some retro nostalgia. But I wanna do something really crazy with it, like see if I can compile a minimal Linux system and run it, like this old project of mine I want to revive: https://github.com/antoniusmisfit/shoebox-linux

Red Hat Linux 8 was my first. 6 disc boxed set(3 install CDs, 3 source CDs) bought from the local Staples for $40 USD. Never went back to Windows since.

I can see the Biden admin's logic in this. Heaven forbid if the candle does start a fire, it doesn't matter if it's in a chapel "far removed from medical supplies and patients" if the chapel is still within the main hospital grounds, then at a minimum the area near the chapel would have to be evacuated, and end result could impair the hospital's ability to fully serve patients until repairs are complete.

Yeah, I feel like login/logout strangely might have not been a first priority in designing Primal. I tried requesting the "desktop site", rotating to horizontal orientation, and zooming in and out to no avail. Maybe there is a login but the Primal devs won't publicly activate it until the client is fleshed out enough to their taste?

2023-05-04 16:09:42

Okay, so I'm hearing people rave on about the #Primal web client. I head on over to primal.net on my phone, and...
I understand that it's still a WIP, but where the heck is the way to login to it?

2023-05-04 13:16:27

Well, I figured out where the zap came from, and it was for recommending w3schools.com's free online tutorial on HTML5. Of course, they also have great tutorials on JS and several other programming languages, and even server side stuff. It really is a great resource for learning.

2023-05-04 00:41:32

A small reflection i just had when thinking about what happens when a Nostr user(user1) posts a note and it writes to multiple relays simultaneously, and when another user(user2) browses user1's notes stored on those relays.
Isn't this in a sense like a decentralized and distributed RAID array?

I guess it's official, then: PS/2 ports are "retro tech" now.

I guess you'll need a PS/2 adapter, then. They should be cheap enough to get online.

I'm kind of the opinion that identity verification doesn't make much sense in a highly pseudonymous network like Nostr. But I guess there's certain cases where linking an online identity would be beneficial.

2023-05-02 01:08:17

Over on the birdsite, WordPress has officially dropped Twitter from its JetPack extension due to Musk's ludicrous API price hikes, *and* Musk announced that Twitter will allow publishers to directly charge Twitter users to read news articles directly from Twitter.
He's literally banking on Twitter's inertia to keep users in his increasingly repressive walled garden. He'll lose that bet hard.

The problem of social media identity verification doesn't really make much sense in a system explicitly designed for pseudoanonymity, like Nostr.

2023-04-28 23:47:45

Okay, first I tried Amethyst, then Coracle, and right now I'm on Iris on my Android, and I'm struggling to find the logout option, lol. Can someone help me out with that?

Ah Amway, one of the classic MLM scams. Lots of decent people fell for it too. You wised up, and that's something to be proud of. Years ago, a co-worker tried to pitch "Pre-Paid Legal Services"(now known as LegalShield) to me during a lunch break. The first video made it sound like a halfway decent product, but when he showed the second video which pitched downline recruitment hard, I knew it was an MLM scam and just said "Nope".

Coracle is pretty nice as a web client.

Even though I'm not much of a cryptocurrency fan, I set up a lightning address as it seems pretty harmless. Anyways, I'm looking to find if there's any programming enthusiasts on here, particularly pertaining to #retrocomputing and #linux.

2023-04-26 22:59:00

Okay, I think I may have found a mildly funny glitch here. I don't if this is client-specific or not, but on Amethyst if you navigate to your own profile and click "Follow", you can actually follow yourself and it counts on your follower count. Anybody else able to do this on other clients?

2023-04-26 22:38:39

Okay, so now that I've got the basic part of setting up my profile, I notice three specific options that seem to relate to account/identity verification, for Twitter, Mastodon, and GitHub respectively. What do I need to do to set those up correctly?

Got it. I did read up a bit on Nostr before signing up, so I know to keep my private key stored somewhere safe.

Ace, on Amethyst you can edit your profile by clicking your profile pic to go to your profile page, then click the button on the top right that has three lines with a pen in it. I just figured that out a few minutes ago.
