I do not recognize anyone’s right to one minute of my life. Nor to any part of my energy. Nor to any achievement of mine. No matter who makes the claim, how large their number or how great their need.

My public bookmarks are like a pseudo blog, check them out to see what I have to say. I don't post every day, think of me as a high SNR oracle, when I show up in your feed it's probably going to be interesting.

I do private contracting for personal server setups and automation scripts. Feel free to contact and inquire about that if you need something put together.

Well I mean, its the most useful mobile client. The feature set, though kind of a bunch of features slapped anywhere they fit, is great once you figure out where they're all hidden. Organizing a feature set like this in an intuitive way is hard work. There are things I don't like about it, but all in all its the best of the options we have, and I am not building a mobile client so I'm not gonna pick on it too much.

I did this for 2 years.
The blanket in the hammock to keep warm doesn't work very well. It bunches up, you have to wrap yourself and you get tangled in it and your range of motion reduced. Not comfortable at all.
At first I thought I'd found the answer. By the time switched out I hadn't gotten a good night of sleep in probably months, constantly having to be mindful even while sleeping of how I have to lay, what angles I can't use, the swaying. I think I clung to the idea of it longer than I was enjoying it.
I still love hammocks for lounging outside, sitting and cooking outside, usual camping type stuff. Its a nice novelty to have, an extra hang out spot for a guest that gets out of the way when you dont need it. But as a full time bed, its inferior and basically everyone will figure it out if they try it long term. Try it. See if it works. If youre still sleeping in it 3 years later and feeling great, tell me what I need to do right.

Yup, its a dopamine drop. When there was no twitter, then twitter came out, people were like "well this is cool gotta check it out." Now they have twitter, someone tells them about something else, they're like "I already have that and there's more people to talk to" which translates to algorithmic feed of noise from millions of people. What sets nostr apart, well there's a lot, but when you just say bitcoin zaps, that gets people to try it, make 5 cents in a month and drop it. You've got to let people know the true benefits, and make it not too complicated to get started.

I feel like chiming in. "Working so well" implies a goal. What's the goal in your eyes?
I think it works just fine. I'm happy to see normie focused stuff, by my main reasons for using nostr, that my voice is provably me and that I can't be censored, are working as intended. People can try any approaches they like and I wish them well.

I can't believe none of my #monero bros are bickering about the carrot outgoing viewkey controversy on nostr. Share thoughts! Thats what censorship resistant publishing exists for.

2026-05-03 07:14:25 UTC

You know how you can tell follower count doesnt matter? When you have "hundreds" and you say something and almost none of them interact at all. They all follow like a thousand people. So they're either bots or people who have a slim chance of seeing anything you say.
What matters is real interactions with real people. I love that.

lol well yeah I guess youre right. nobody is making a nostr npub just for that, its probably an alt for someone. I'm pretty sure most of those are just bots following each other though, some people still think follower accounts matter on nostr.

2026-03-27 16:24:36 UTC

yeah but like, suppose I had an alt just for following that crap. i don't, but suppose I did. how would you know? how do you know lots of people have Alta for following the fedi porn bots?

Dude, even if you watch porn (I dont) that garbage is mostly low quality spam. Even ignoring the worthy-of-death porn coming from that cesspool, just the normal stuff is bots spamming absolute garbage. Why anyone would follow those bots is beyond me, just open a private tab in your browser when youre in the mood lol.
I'm curious though, how do you know that this statement youre making is true?

Youre no asking me but I'm going to answer you anyway. I want marmot everywhere, I want to use nostr as my primary communiation tool. So it makes me a little sad to say yes, thats a fair statement. Its just too messy right now and ive lived through a dozen "gonna be awesome soon" protocols that the maintainers got burned out or whatever and they never matured. In my mind you wouldnt want to do all this work implementing all this just for it to be all borky and Coming Soon™

This isn't about user feeds. This in particular is about search and firehouse feeds, and censoring degenerate garbage without disempowering users is a hard problem.

that's true.
i do think its understated how important it is to keep degeneracy off peoples feeds, and it is worth taking shortcuts to make that happen while the architectural design of doing it thoughtfully is unfinished.

2026-03-23 00:24:42 UTC

well I mean its nostr, relays are the network infrastructure. if you've got a relay hard coded, it means 1) you have to maintain infrastructure ad infinitum, and 2) youre really not using the selling point of nostr.

2026-03-22 23:59:23 UTC

yeah that's a sensible starting point. i remember being so tired of fedi back when I used it, but it was the only game in town. then nostr came out, I jumped ship immediately. fediverse is a shithole and its not even censorship resistant.

Been binging on Professor Jiang with the wife. Thoughts:
- How the fuck is this allowed on YouTube? I thought yt censored everything, apparently the pent up demand for uncensored thought is coming out. Something about this though makes me wonder if its in someones inerest for this content to be avalable, or if there's an ideological stalemate at yt.
- this guy is a free thinker. I might agree with some things, disagree with others, but none of his stuff is couched in anything resembling a side.
- mind blowing bangers dropped like nonchalant common wisdom. This dude has thought a lot about his worldview and reasoned through it.
- people who experience first hand, almost natively, other cultures often bring fantastically fresh perspectives when examining things. This is very valuable.
- how is this allowed in China??? I thought China was this unopen society, and I'm not immediately going to say it isn't, but the fact that this is an English class in a Beijing high school is just mind blowing.
- Moonshot Academy is a hell of an institutional education experiment.
I highly recommend his channel (Predictive History on YouTube), even, or even *especially*, if you hate hearing what the guy is saying.

First issue: settings dont persist per account. So if I want PoW for example on one but not the other, I still have to manually go change all my settings between accounts.

I did figure it out. Half the interface flow for this procedure being in a drop down and half of it being in the feed interface is definitely mssy and confusing. I have to load a relay then add it, I can't just like, long press a relay and add it to one, or edit a combined feed and add relays.
Also I can't seem to delete combined feeds.

then you should know first hand that this idea that no algorithms means no new content is ridiculous because you've lived in that world and it was not the case.

precisely how do you go about chasing someone off your property without a threat of violence? And, should that threat be an empty threat, or if they refuse, is it moral to follow through?
these people you say shouldn't be deported but should be charged with crimes and sent home, surely you understand that that is worse? would you rather be told to go home, or beaten and then told to go home? Youre getting stuck on the dirtiness of this word "deportation". It simply means to be told to go home. The homelss guy got soup, he got the humane-but-you-still-cant-live-here treatment; the countries they're fleeing to give lots of humanitarian aid to the counries they get sent back to.
Now, either we do the open libertarian thing and we do the "borders shouldn't exist" experiment or we don't. I doubt its going to happen. I like the idea of it, but I understand the "national territories are analogous to private property" argument as well. But for your analogy to work, 1) people have to be sent home even if they're harmless or needy people, of course with sympathies and the help they need to not die, and 2) violence must be implied to deter pedatory opportunists. That seems to be the status quo right now.

A friend of mine is reading a book called "On the Jews and Their Lies" by Martin Luther, not because he has an issue with Jews but because of the current touchy middle east conflict subject and because the author is one of the most consequential historical figures, I'm probably going to see what that book is all about eventually.

You're not. Keep a high SNR, for your outputs as well as your inputs.

Alright I'm gonna do one. Take it easy on me, its my first time.
We have a technology designed to cut out intermediaries, to secure value and value transfer cryptographically, that requires no institutions, NP regulations, no coercion pf any kind. And the people that say "none of that matters, all that matters is institutions, we want to build custodial banks on top of it, they'd never let you get away with it anyway" call you a shitcoiner.
They're yesterdays degens that heard the meme "btc only" and jumped on the bandwagon. They're the same people, with the same worldview, just going where they think the profit is. They've cheered the destruction of the most prominent implementation of this space age technology, praying for a chance to be a part of the royalty of the future. What they dont understand, money isn't what makes you rich, it isn't wealth. Theres a riddle or two.
And their shitcoinery will end as it always does. You get Bitcoin at the price you deserve, and you overpaid for it.

Ledger isn't a offline signing device and hasn't been since they implemented online backup of keys a couple of years ago. Nobody serious about security buys ledger products anymore, and its never been FOSS so its always been contentious.
The only real games in town are trezor and its clones and seedsigner.
Just because ledger fucks up doesn't mean phones with WiFi and baseband spyware and regular software updates over the air is a good security practice.

Here's an idea: epub format over the nostr protocol.
I dunno, I've kind of got extensibility fatigue, but it's just a thought.

Lol and you did. Only an honorable man pays a gentleman's agreement to a random stranger on the internet. The most honorable of men. I will always vouch for your character and honesty, you're a man among boys.
I wouldn't bet on trump pumping bitcoin though. It's not that I have some weird faith in trump making all my dreams come true, it's that I had some insight into how he was playing the politics game. People are saying things like the US is going to pump bitcoin to discharge debt, always hand waving how that works exactly. I don't see it.

Your friendly reminder that real, unmolested conversations between real people are happening here on nostr more than anywhere else on the internet. We have already won.

Monero subreddit is a ghost town. Its more reddit than monero. The only people that really use it are redditors primarily, and the monero devs do announcements and stuff there because it used to he the spot. I wish they'd figure it out, catch on but they are behind on that, too busy building.
The real monero community is already here, and spread out in a few far flung other places. Those that still haven't caught on will figure it out eventually.

Why would rare posting be a bad thing? The likelihood that a sometimes poster has a lower snr than a daily poster is very low. I for one would love for all my follows to only say something when they have value to share. All too often it is shitposting or echoing the common sentiment.

Who cares how many people follow you? Something more interesting would be like a proof of work in your pubkey for relays to respond to your requests or something like that.

That was a suspiciously high number to me, 130k a year is comfortable for 4 people. The reasoning is flawed. First, I don't know anyone who spends 5% of their household budget on food, even people who cook at home every meal. But more importantly, the rough measure distorts the picture the less someone spends on food.
Think about it, if food, the only actual thing you need to stay alive, is only 5% of your income, what the fuck are you spending 95% of it on? Clothes? Seems to me, a significant chunk of it would have to be discretionary spending. If food is 100% of your income, you don't say that the poverty line is 1x your food budget, you say "I'm homeless." Similarly, if food is 0.1% of your income, you don't say you need 100x your food budget just to make ends meet, you say "I'm sp fucking rich that what I need to stay alive is so post scarcity I can spend a negligible amount of my income getting nutrition and sustenance". The measure itself skews badly and tells you nothing *unless you keep the measure the same, regardless of changes in trends.* And then, it only tells you something about relative changes. It doesnt actually tell you how someone is doing, no matter how you calculate it.
