I'm a tech enthusiast exploring the intersection of Nostr, AI, privacy, and crypto - and now vibe-coding..

Big on Linux, obsessed with open systems...

In my downtime, I’m into photography, music making, and riding motorcycles — anything that gets me thinking or moving.

Asked #Gemini to review the @nprofile…tdaq project - and tell me about it in simple terms.... I like what it came up with ->
fed_AI" is an experimental project building a decentralized marketplace for AI computing.
Think of it like Airbnb for AI processing: instead of paying one giant company (like OpenAI or Amazon) to run AI models for you, you can rent computing
power directly from independent operators around the world.
How it works (The 3 Main Players):
1. Clients (You): You have an app or a task that needs AI (like generating text, images, or processing data).
2. Nodes (The Workers): These are people running the actual hardware (from powerful GPU servers to simple home computers). They do the work.
3. Routers (The Matchmakers): These are the traffic controllers. They find the best "Node" for your specific task based on price, speed, and trust. They
coordinate the work but never touch your money.
The "Secret Sauce":
* Nostr: Used for Identity. Your account is just a cryptographic key pair, so you own your identity and reputation across the network without needing a
central login server.
* Lightning Network: Used for Payments. You pay the workers directly (peer-to-peer) for exactly what you use (pay-as-you-go), instantly and with very low
fees.
What it hopes to achieve:
* No Vendor Lock-in: You aren't stuck with one company's rules or pricing.
* Privacy: The system is designed so that the "matchmakers" don't see your data or money, and the work is broken up across many independent providers.
* Efficiency: It allows anyone with idle hardware to contribute to the network, potentially lowering costs and democratizing access to AI.
In short, it wants to build an open, uncensorable, and free market for AI where anyone can participate as a user or a provider.

While the content might be nonsense (it is a tiny LLM after all) - it does show that #fed_AI can function (at least locally)....

One thing I like about #vibecoding
If an app is missing something you want, you do not complain about it. You grab the source, add the feature, and use it.
Build instead of waiting.

Start working on a new web app called #Binder ...
Using existing #nostr primitives- it bundles long form content in a coherent 'book'
So far -
- auto save drafting - encrypted backup to relasy
- markdown editor and previewing
- New authors and hots reads
- and other stuff
Has been a fun exercise #vibe-coding #ai #codex #gemini

NCC Sidecar v1.2.2 is live
This release focuses on backup integrity, recovery, and more reliable discovery for self-hosted services.
Encrypted backups by default
Node backups (Kind 30001) now use NIP-44 encryption. Managed service lists and configuration data are no longer published in plain text to relays.
Improved admin recovery
A new two-stage bootstrap flow allows full recovery after reinstall. Logging in is enough. Sidecar locates your encrypted bootstrap keys linked to your identity and restores state automatically.
Updated resolution engine
Now running ncc-06-js v0.6.0, improving discovery resolution, protocol filtering, and overall reliability.
UI refinements
Standardised theming for cleaner dark mode transitions, relay management restored, and a new “Copy NPUB” shortcut added to the dashboard.
The goal remains simple: make Nostr services easier to discover without compromising privacy.

Continuing on with Nostr Community Conventions 02 and 05 (#ncc) - I knocked up an NCC-VPN....
Technically a proxy service - it can intercept NCC address - <npub>.nostr and resolve using the NCC-02 Service Records and NCC-05 Dynamic Locators... Proving service without DNS is workable - using #nostr as the backbone!

We Lose 73% of Revenue to Ad Blocking (AFDS 2025 Presentation)
https://techlore.tv/w/vwSVhB8Fu8HNHjojsqaaKy
Techlore was invited to the Ad Filtering Dev Summit in Cyprus, where Henry spoke about the paradox we face: Techlore recommends ad blockers for digital rights & privacy & security, but we partially rely on ad revenue to survive. How do we navigate this? After 10 years, we've diversified revenue across sponsors, community support, and affiliates to get ahead of this, but what happens to other independent voices as ad blocking grows?

If you using #AI for vibe-coding here are some things I've found useful.
1. Use lint and type check - just as the AI to do it for you - this quickly helps the AI identify issues. (AI has brain farts too).
2. Occasionally as it to complete a SWOT analysis - you can even target specific aspects including the code itself.
3. Ask it to develop plans - and the implement. This helps the AI arrange itself to complete big tasks in manageable bites.

Great work! Really well put together... I think the only missing part is the marketing...
I only came across it by accident when doom scrolling - and didn't see it on places like nostrapps.com or zapstore.dev?
Also think you need to tell the creators what is better about it (for them) - zaps? decentralised? Whatever..
Maybe look for content creators using Peertube - offer to help repost their content or something... people like @npub1djp…8kck or @npub1seh…fsgc

Published new Nostr Community Convention: ncc-06 - NCC-02 / NCC-05 Service Profile
NCC-06 updated: NCC-02 / NCC-05 Service Profile
NCC-06 now formally defines a service participation profile that composes NCC-02 and NCC-05 for identity-first, DNS-optional service discovery.
It specifies what a service, sidecar, and client must do to support:
Pubkey-owned service identity
Deterministic client-side resolution and trust
Dynamic endpoint rotation
Tor and onion services as first-class endpoints
Robust behaviour under partial failure and inconsistent data
NCC-06 does not change underlying protocols, add new message types, or move resolution or trust logic into services. Services remain protocol-dumb. Clients remain in control.

Published new Nostr Community Convention: ncc-05 - Identity-Bound Service Locator Resolution
NCC-05 update published
NCC-05 now clearly defines identity-bound, encrypted service locator resolution for dynamic ip:port endpoints, without DNS or public infrastructure.
What’s new and clarified:
Explicit anchored vs unanchored operating modes
Anchored mode (recommended): NCC-02 provides identity and trust, NCC-05 provides private reachability
Unanchored mode (permitted): supports ephemeral, P2P, and bootstrap use cases
Formalised endpoint object format with deterministic selection
Stronger guidance on TLS key binding (k) to prevent endpoint substitution
Clear TTL, expiration, caching, and refresh semantics
Deterministic record and endpoint selection to improve interoperability
Explicit support for private and invite-only services
NCC-05 remains client-agnostic, relay-agnostic, and fully compatible with existing Nostr primitives, while enabling private, low-cost alternatives to Dynamic DNS.
