I don't think it's anyones business what client I used to create notes. If I want to advertise your client I should be able to turn it on. On by default is a big no from me, sorry. Anything my client appends to my notes without my permission is too much imo. Tags are generally not user-facing.
To be clear, I have been very against this for a really long time, but I'm a nostr nobody. I've had it on the roadmap for my signer since the spec introduced it.

@npub1ye5…knpr How do I disable the client tag my notes in next.nostudel?
Also if I have a nip07 signer that strips undesired privacy tags, the event ID will change. IIRC nostrudel raises an error if the event id returned from the signer does not match the one submitted.

Talk is cheap. When the government comes kicking, you're life changes. That hill you said you'd die on becomes real because you're forced to stand on it. Then you look at your kids, your spouse, the life you built, their futures, your life dead or behind bars for something made up.
This isn't dramatic, those who've been there know that I'm talking about. These actions happen in silence "why cover it in the news, they were clearly breaking the law".
These are very real events you need to know so we can build more resilient systems. Don't let your hubris convince you that you're safe. Most of my friends think I'm insane for building the tools I do, in my last gig and now. They told me to get out while I can, go do something more mainstream so you can sleep at night. To me, I'd get worse sleep living a "normal life" wishing I did something more, took a risk maybe, stood up for something I believed in.

-less than 10k combined in savings
-don't run air conditioning in the summer except for the room their in
-keep heat set to 50*f and use portable heaters for bedrooms
-still have over $300 or more in utilities excluding internet
-no assets outside the house and a tiny 401k
-have a tiny weddings and finance the whole thing
-one car/person or less, older models, paid off
-have to finance home repairs because they don't have it
-won't go out unless I offer to pay
-don't go on vacations or trips far from home because money unless family pays for it
-stopped visiting long distance family
-stopped putting up holiday lights because it cost too much money in electric to run
-stopped eating expensive food and often share meals when eating out
-cant afford a wedding so kids are way out into mid 30s if that
For me the worst part for me is it makes people paranoid and risk adverse to literally everything. I only feel like I'm entitled to share my opinion is that these are mostly issues none of us grew up with, on a single income blue collar profession, had kids earlier, and were married in their early 20s. Let me know if I missed something for those under 30 y/o
Were just trading more time and getting a worse quality of life.

Lets have some honest feedback on both sides hey? We create products we expect people to use, don't be shocked when people actually use them.
I don't want to be in safe space. My nostr friends are critical thinkers, they speak their minds and critique. How am I supposed to grow if I don't hear honest and free communication?

Story time! Back when I was in automotive I had this idea:
We sold modified ECU firmware, in competition with other companies. Each company had their own pros and cons so we were never in direct competition. There is almost no one with software experience in the field. Files are "closed source", encrypted manually for every customer, then sent to users via email. Companies "need" to maintain their IP, that's just how it is, not for competition (I built a tool to crack the encryption, not hard) but mostly for pirates. The hardware devices that we targeted were locked down and closed source, so we just had to deal with it. The encryption software is protected by legalese, and only runs on Windows so I had to uh, dance around it...
With that in mind, most competition really doesn't understand how to run and maintain custom software. The idea was to host the storefront ourselves but paying companies would have a store that users could browse and purchase their firmware options. We would send them a server software package that gave them a nice UI to load files into and they would remain on their premises. Their machine would "host" their dedicated storefront (websocket with jrpc to our storefront). So files never left their control unencrypted, and they had control over their personal storefront on their own servers. I even wanted to defer payment handling to their nodes too. It was a complicated mess but I was and still am certain we could have sold it without much trouble.

To be clear I'm not attacking you, your platform, or your products. I'm speaking out loud.
I believe I'm also a generally a realist that's refusing to ignore a problem with the idea of marketing a product to slightly-above average users wanting to host a relay. I'm refusing to ignore the "well that's just the way it is" it feels like enabling a systemic problem. I spent many years in customer support simply providing education about a complex topic myself and still believe those were resources well spent. I'm arguing you cannot truthfully make the promise of nostr freedom using cloud services. Therefor it should not be marketed as such if that's going to be the case.
I would consider myself quite versed in sysadmin world and am regularly hit with the complications of the lifestyle of maintaining a mini data center of enterprise equipment.
I refuse to accept the "reality is people are simply too dumb, busy or bothered" so I will sell them convenience and a one-size fits all approach in perpetuity. The problem is still user education, and we keep avoiding it.
I will accept that no economic incentives exist to educate users. In fact economic incentives exist to keep users ignorant in much of the world. Most TV commercials express the message "don't do X, we can do it for you"
I just think we need to be more cautious about how were marking products and still align with the promises that can be delivered, when nostr generally makes grandiose freedom and ownership promises.

Correct. "Censorship resistance" is no longer a selling point when people are encouraged to load up their relay in the same cloud.
I think maybe we don't need to reach individuals and encourage them to setup cloud relays, because again my argument is cloud relays don't strengthen censorship resistance, so unless you need a private relay for private things, I don't think its right to encourage normies to cloud host a relay, it's a false predicate.
We need to encourage self-hosted hosted platforms like you mentioned to get relays into the hands of hosters. And get everyone's geeky friend to set them up a relay on their own metal.
I would rather rely on the hardcore nostr developers hosting public relays (paid or not) and having normies use them over private cloud relays.
I think people (specifically in the US) forget how much control the ABCs have over cloud providers and how much data they hoover, I think it's doing user's a disservice in the long run.

2024-08-17 18:34:12

- reply

I think the economic incentives will always vertically align with SaaS. I think about this daily. But do we actually have nostr if relays mostly exist in the cloud. Do we have censorship resistance if relays mostly exist in the cloud.
Keyword mostly. Do we want to encourage users to host cloud relays vs just paying for public relays? We can then defer trust to the more central relay hosters as they are more likely motivated than cloud hosters.
I think governments have the power to fire the cannon at cloud providers. On top of that becomes data privacy, relays generally aren't all that secure in terms of data storage. As secure as a cloud database and an HTTPS connection that can be intercepted by the cloud provider as a service as well.

2024-08-17 18:06:20

- reply

I want to give some gentle pushback on RaaS. The largest overarching idea is to decentralize. Nostr isn't decentralized when the majority of relays become hosted on AWS behind cloudflare. Regardless of the cloud provider, reminder that cloud = someone else's servers.

I have been very conflicted on this, I guess it's worth reconsidering the idea of nip-09 == privacy. I personally would (and still intend to) manage a note archive for permanent history, ignoring any deletes of course. I suppose this would likely only relate to kind01, however if I was a pita I would also hoover nip46 traffic and other npub identifying traffic to prove a point. The world is full of malicious people, and I firmly believe once you touch your keyboard you are voluntarily producing information that could be of value to a bad actor. I don't want computing systems to function this way, but the reality is they do.
to also reply to @npub1njs…7fqx point on "Good Enough deletion to stop an opportunistic bad actor" it only requires someone like me to stand-up an archival service and all it takes is someone to search a profile to supply these "opportunistic bad actors". In fact one could argue this is worse as deletion events could also be recorded and shown that user's attempted to hide/edit notes. I'm simply stating this is too easily combated and will always be the case when content is distributed, period. We cannot force people who believe in permanent history to respect your pseudo-privacy.

I haven't checked out Claude at all, but almost everything else I've used is terrible at "code". I suppose the biggest complaint, and why I think human software engineering is still necessary, is the code is so far from maintainable it's laughable. With some nostr projects I take a look though it's painfully obvious they used some LLM to generate most of the code. The repo structure isn't there, comments are non-existent or irrelevant, most functionality is over simplified and crammed into single-files with hard-coded/magic number semantics. It's just rough and I can't even put my finger on it, other than it's just hard to understand and maintain or build on. The output is usually so direct to the promt it can't be expanded.

You can refuse an update to Bitcoin Core, but there are so few forks to choose from (at least on the surface) as a node runner there isn't much you can do if you want security patches and so on. Of course unless your a developer and maintain a fork yourself.

>That's harder for women to do, tho.
Yeah, I'm sure and I suppose I'm quite young so probably part of it too.
With my new eating routines I can workout pretty quickly after eating if I want to. I learned how to very carefully asses hunger/fullness cues so I don't over eat and I'm good. However meals are usually for quick recovery so always after a workout. The more frequent the meals the easier it is to listen to those cues and eat when slightly hungry so no overeating happens.
I was most worried about carbs, so we spent most of the time learning about that an blood sugar cycles.
Basically its this: Carbs are your source of energy, as they are quickly converted into glucose. It takes energy to breakdown proteins and fats into glucose so it's avoided if possible. glycogen and protein stores in muscles will be robbed before your digestion will attempt to convert proteins/fats into glucose, thus always leaving your muscles starved for necessary proteins and glycogen energy stores, so you generally feel weaker on a low carb diet and struggle even maintaining muscle.
Glucose is only absorbed during the duration of raised insulin production. If glucose is "left over" during that cycle or cannot be absorbed fast enough, it's absorbed by adipose which is also stimulated by insulin. Which is why quickly digested carbs cause such a high (and fast) spike in blood sugar causing poor consumption of carbs and increased adipose growth along with poor muscular uptake. Fruits and other higher-fiber simple carbs are helpful in this space. "The body does not know the difference in a given carb molecule, it all becomes glucose" as she would tell me.
I try to follow the blood sugar wave which is pretty good at telling you when you need more fuel, proteins don't hang around in the AA "pool" for very long, so you have to top them up regularly. So that's what I learned and seems to be working really well for me right now. Mixed macro meals, 3:1 carb to protein+fats ratio, eat within 1 hour of waking, then workout before a meal, learn hunger/fullness cues. Few/no long carb molecules (starches). Get a good mix of all fruits/veggies, whole grain stuff, lean and fatty meats on rotation with other good fats like milk nuts and the like when needed.

My dietitian convinced me that breakfast was a requirement regardless of my workout routine and caloric goals. I went from 1500 cals to 2200 cals/day but doubled the strength training effort. I have still been losing weight although at a slower rate, which is fine as I'm already under my target weight of 190, so I expect that number to start going back up again.
I usually have to force myself to eat breakfast, but it has quickly improved my morning productivity hitting my macro goals.
I don't know any heavy laborers that eat correctly, most of them have cigarettes and coffee for breakfast and more work for lunch then don't eat until dinner.

Builders are also likely to leave you with a large percentage for doing such work.

My cluster gets by with a 4gig lacp across 3 nodes, haven't really noticed any performance degradation for what I do. I guess caches make the most of it.

The only way I got cln to work was with a full node. I think there is a way to prune it after a while, but if I already need 600gb of space to get is started I guess Ill just keep it. When cln starts up it requests genesis block forward and if it's not there it fails and logs an errors something like "missing block data, cln doesn't support pruned nodes"

lmao, I feel like most devs don't have sysadmin experience and it shows

I only use SSD storage for high-readonly workloads. I have a pile of dead consumer SSDs many of them Samsung single layer units. I just have horrible luck with high write tasks with SSDs so I use bulk disk storage for anything with heavy writes.

Youre really supposed have the entire blockchain when connecting an ln node though. core-lighting requires a non-pruned node, it checks for early blocks to verify it's not pruned.
In my personal experience, a bunch as a support contractor, has been horrible issues with indexes and data corruption which takes down an ln node to do maintenance.

Yeah, signers are authoritative. Clients cannot request a desired key over nip07, which would be a security flaw imo.
I have really wanted a nip07 api overhaul but haven't spent the time to go through it. One might be registering a callback so the signer can notify the client site on event changes (or a named window event i suppose)

The only app that respected nip07 was primal because it requested the pubkey once/second, which was a really annoying problem because browsers are slow and I have strict permissions checking in nvault. But generally I like that nostrudel checks the pubkey after signing to make sure I had the right key selected in my signer. Sometimes I go flipping accounts without checking.

I just need something that doesn't require a smart phone, or multiple cobbled together servers with sub-optimal security design that never stay running, don't have UIs, and require 600gb of storage. I can get over that last part if bitcoin-core was a stable piece of software.
