It's genuinely frustrating seeing this shit pass through my relays.

Writing a spam filter is kinda fucking hard.
WOT is cool, but it's a band-aid that excludes newer users.
POW is also cool, but most Spammers can get around that super fucking easy, so I don't really see that as a proper solution.
Micropayments are also not a solution in my mind.
What I'm doing so far kind of seems to be working, but I also block my own posts from time to time.

2024-09-05 06:01:13

I'm not sure about other DJs, but every time I play a venue, especially if it's a venue I've played before, I try to do a 60-40 split of old tunes to new tunes. I have enough music to where I can pretty much pull most of a set or an entire set from my collection Depending on the vibe and the time that I'm playing and the genre.. But I try to find 40% of music that is new to me, if not more Depending on how often I've played a certain venue.
And of course this isn't a hard set rule, but I do genuinely like to have new music paired with tried and true bangers that I enjoy playing, and I know go off.

So, like for instance, our standard cheese board comes with nuts, an assortment of fruits, a bunch of different crackers, some bread, jam, and whatnot, which we usually just set loose on the cheese board.

I definitely know my priorities have shifted when I know where there's a bit of a party going on. There would be a fellow bitcoiner there who I don't know very well, but is an interesting guy. So it wouldn't be a total waste going out, but a huge, part of my brain is telling me to stay home, try to maybe like write a page or so, and then fall asleep.
Younger me would have rushed home, slammed a few beers, rinsed off, put on some civvies, and gone out Without a second thought. Currently I'm on the fence with a heavy inclination to just stay home.😅

When I realized this, this was pretty much the reason I got so into self-hosting everything I possibly can and have taken large efforts to de-Google myself and not use large corporate tech. It's also why at the bare minimum I'm always using a VPN or other sort of privacy technologies to connect to the general internet.
I understand that some people won't go to the same extremes that I have done. That's fine, but at least be aware of this fact. So many people act so blasé about it that it's genuinely concerning for me as I see the landscape of mainstream tech getting worse and worse.

So far I'm gathering that a public and private key distinction is important. I already plan on mentioning zaps but it's not the primary focus of the article. And yes, this is very much me farming for information.
As a technical person who had experience with Bitcoin and has used plenty of decentralized technologies before coming to nostr, I'm sure I have blind spots. Also, I'm trying to write this in a way that will be digestible for somebody who is not a technical person or has no experience with Bitcoin or using something decentralized.

That would be a way to do it, and yes, you're correct. VPS is virtual private server.
You can also use an app called Citrine to run a local relay on your phone if you have an Android. The benefits include making your drafts a little bit more private as it would host your drafts on your phone versus on some other relay. And having like a local contact and follow list backup is pretty useful
