Last 2-3 years have been the years of open source for sure, be it bitcoin/nostr, Linux, graphene, open source AI models.
It just feels like we've been very successful in showing the middle finger to "big tech".

it's branches on multiple repos - first is on fips, to make the fips repo embeddable, then a fips-capacitor repo to make it easy to work with webapps, and then a branch on nostr-polls where i was trying to integrate, will share all these here once i'm a little free.

I tried to do calling over fips, and it does work, but it's back breaking effort to get it to be production ready.
Theres also games with replayable leaderboards so it is very hard to cheat,, this one is live on pollerama. There 's a lot of other stuff but this one is slightly different from the productivity stuff and social stuff I usually work with

"You are oppressed by whom you are not allowed to criticize".
Not that any of the things you mentioned are acceptable social behaviour, but they are often reactions to deeper cultural problems in the society.
Good thing about nostr is that you can't be racist/sexist and run away, if you want any kind of social standing you have to show up daily and face the same people you were mean with.
You don't/cannot runaway from the consequences of your actions on nostr. Atleast not without the penalty of losing your PoW.

It's so infuriating when a regular youtuber praises bitcoin and people in the comments go like:
"your financial well being is tied up with bitcoin, that's why your promoting it!"
Ofcourse! Wouldn't it be more disengenous if their financial well being wasn't tied to it and they still promoted it? Dumbasses.

Yes, there was an issue with the payment proccessing, fixing it now, in the meanwhile we processed your mail id! smoke@mailstr.app is now yours! Also we noticed an issue with your inbox relays, both nostr.wine and nostr.band are not accepting mails , you will need to add a few working relays, to be able to reliably send mails, you can do this from the client itself, infact it will prompt you once you're in the inbox.

Okay, after 2 days of Qwen3.8:27b , I'm not saying this lightly, it CAN work as a coding / agentic fallback to big models, and there are no buts either, it's just amazingly good, It get's the job(s) done.
You still will not cancel your subscriptions, because they are better, faster, reach solutions on the first go, whereas this one would take a couple tries. But it DOES work. You can leave it for a while comeback to amazing artificats exactly like you'd expect, all for free, all private, which means i can get it to do some personal stuff, i'd hesitate with any cloud AI.

A lot of people don't wish to have children because they don't want to introduce new life into THIS world.
While I don't agree that the world these people are referring to, exists much beyond the television screen, or your choice of algorithm filled social media. There's no denying that the world definitely sucks much much more than it needs to.
So, while I would tell these people that you can create most of the world around you, yourself. I would want to make our shared reality better. I have no clue how, and I know a lot of people that think like this end up making it worse..
But I really do hope that someday, with whatever work we do, we can turn this around and instead of this dread, maybe be hopeful again and make people look forward to and maybe even excited about introducing new life into THIS world.

The coldcard road is what you get when you block people for letting you know about the shortcomings of your product, all of this could've been avoided if nvk had just listened years ago.

Nothing will survive,
Your notes on nostr, bitcoin, you, the planet, the sun, it will all fade away.
The specific configuration of people you talk to, experience, the knowledge out there in the world today, is very closely coupled to this moment in time.
It will not come back.
Everytime we go out In the world, meet people, see the landscapes, listen to a podcaster trying to teach us something new, it only ever belongs to this one moment.
It's very refreshing to be able to meet the world with this humility in mind.

Sometimes some of the work that you do isn't because you want to do it.
Sometimes it's because you feel like it HAS to be done. The energy you feel when you do it, is multiplied, it goes from a good feeling to an almost religious experience.
I'm not an otherwise religious person, but when I go into stuff like this is when I feel the most connected to the universe.
Maybe this post is a result of not having slept the night, but it felt like it wanted to be said.

FOSS helps us give confidence over what is happening and it's even better if they are frontend because then we know exactly what happens after our clicks and before the resultant data goes to the server, and we can judge wether we are comfortable with that exchange.

- Suprised to see a lot of people (prominent npubs) sticking to Google Android - why?
- expected amount of people interested in a linux phone.
- More than expected amount of people interested in complete alternatives? Maybe dumb phones?

getting metaphysical here, but consciousness does seem higher dimensional, especially when you notice the fractal nature of it.

2026-07-26 04:44:57 UTC

One way to reach higher dimensions from lower dimensions is by "fractalizing" it.
For example a line is 1 dimensional, but if you bend it and keep bending it fractally (Hilbert curve) you can cover an entire plane. You don't even need to physically bend it. You can just mark the bends.
You can even do it with planes on 3d.
Can you do it with "spaces" in 4d?

Hey I think I found a simple solution to the nip-17/nip-59 spam/deletion problem.
What if we add the ephemeral key we sign the giftwrap with, in the rumor of the message itself.
This way, the receiver can always sign a deletion request, since they now have access to this ephemeral key, no special relay handling required.
Do you see any security concnerns with this approach?

a lot of things honestly, NEET - the exam for Medical Colleges entrance had a question paper leak. Followed by the same thing on multiple other examinations, angered the students, they demanded the resignation of the education minister, the government in all its ego refused. So the students started protesting, in huge numbers, there were 100,000 of them in delhi on 20th when police violence happened. Now it's just growing out of control.
Also in the meanwhile the Chief Justice of India called the unemployed youth of the country "cockroaches" so the protestors decided to call themselves the Cockroach Janta Party, or the cockroach people's party.
