more 3d printing fun. hooked claude code up to blender and openscad. it generated iso standard screws using BOSL2 and created a test screw + block for me. worked great. this will be useful for making my own clamped things. https://i.nostr.build/UrJdzsqc4ot1FbQH.jpg https://i.nostr.build/YoxWzPx3vTgiza9e.png

#headway progress as i continue to dogfood it for all my projects:
- linear-style status icons
- subtasks
- activity timeline.
- multi board support, move between board
next i want to do projects, burndown charts, issue backlog views with filtering, sorting, grouping, etc.
who needs linear!? just nostr all the things

can we update https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr to say something other than
"The simplest open protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global "social" network once and for all."
i think we've moved beyond social? it seems arbitrarily restrictive and confusing when introducing it to dev people @npub180c…h6w6

2026-07-13 14:45:55 UTC

tool available here! https://github.com/jb55/hookstr used this because a service kept disabling my dev ngrok webhook endpoint. now i can have an active webhook endpoint and replay hooks over nostr via negentropy.

how this plays out in bip110 world:
you lock some money in an innocent looking script. Some shitcoin protocol has a similar looking script. bip110 lords deem said script as bad. They hardfork and confiscate your money.

after getting a glimpse into the shitcoin space its really interesting to see their attitude toward bitcoin. Most shitcoin companies can’t integrate bitcoin because its “too different “ and has “compliance issues”.

all my servers cost about 500 per month and rising. damus relay is like $250 per month. I just have very little room for extra expenses because i have to pay $16,000 per month for the next 10 years for child+spousal support.
I don’t even have income for myself anymore after this even with a high paying job. I’m basically fucked. So no a few subscriptions is not going to undrown me

2026-06-29 15:29:07 UTC

there is nuance to fake zaps
if you trust your lightning node, zaps can't be faked *to you*, since clients validate the lightning node's nostr pubkey sending the zap (at least they should).
but in general you can't trust the validity random zaps sent to other people.
this is why zaps are more useful for individuals (like filtering DMs based on your zaps) and not as useful for ranking and algos.
