he's not right. if FBI shuts down Damus that will mean nothing. They will have to shut down every other iOS client and forks of Damus to disrupt iOS nostr users. Even if iOS becomes completely locked down you can still use PWAs and Damus android. Damus doesn't require any special infrastructure except relays. I've designed it so if I die or are imprisoned it will continue working.

What level of nostr derangement syndrome is this. Nostr won’t work because you can just censor the apps? What? This seems like an argument against X not nostr. https://i.nostr.build/Uykk19eQa4CAzOt1.jpg

Imagine you pointed your camera at a book, it recognizes it, and then you can see all of the recent notes and threads that people posted about it.
Generic comments allow you to create nostr threads on physical things and places. You get nextdoor for free. You put on AR glasses and see nostr threads on buildings and places. The applications are limitless. #note1x87…cscs

This is an interesting new spec that will allow you to make threaded replies to pretty much anything: geographical areas, websites, hashtags/topics, urls, podcasts, books, movies, papers.
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1233
right now you can really only make threaded replies to kind1 notes and trying to do it on other things is kind of janky. generic comments fixes this.

Ideally it would be a note:nevent which has relay hints within the note reference itself. Damus doesn’t currently use these hints yet but will. Damus sucks in general for hint related things.

Interesting takes by levels.io on lex fridman in the context of being a diginal nomad:

“I am free thats why i am lost” - kafka
Freedom is pretty great, but constraints (family, kids, relationships) keep us locked in and focused. Thats how i interpreted it at least.

I have this on notedeck but when I come back there is wayyy too much to scroll up. its useful for notifications though.
for the main timeline it will likely require some kind of summary of the top posts when you come back. these are going to be called scroll-up algorithms.

I personally think its nicer on desktop. you just press a button to sync all your notes to nostrdb. then you can just backup that nostrdb file.
eventually all damus clients will ensure that your notes are backed up and synced across all your devices for redundancy.

damus keeps everything forever until you delete the app. getting it to do infinite scrollback is something I'm still working on.

I recently nuked my damus iOS db so I wanted a way to rebuild my search database of all my notes. I just synced to strfry and imported them back all into nostrdb with `ndb import`. importing to nostrdb enables a complete local search index of all my notes. notedeck reads from that database directly, so notedeck search is immediately populated.
the strfry sync step is a bit manual so it will be nice when you can just click a button in notedeck/ios and this will just work.

2024-08-31 12:02:56

if you download strfry on your computer you can do:
strfry sync '--filter={"authors": ["32e1827635450ebb3c5a7d12c1f8e7b2b514439ac10a67eef3d9fd9c5c68e245"]}' --dir=down wss://relay.damus.io
to make a backup of all of your notes, where 32e18... is your hex pubkey. it will only copy down the notes your local strfry relay doesn't have. negentropy set reconciliation ftw.
working on coding this up as a feature in notedeck/damus ios, so all your notes stay synced between your devices.

language debates are so tiring. Just use what you find effective for your use case. I personally hated rust for years but recently found it useful for a nostr database I built in C+lmdb. I was able to use rust lifetimes to improve transaction safety in the C bindings, and the rust interface is more ergonomic. best of both worlds.

spent the past 5 hours or so doing some notedeck hacking on the plane.
I'm making it a bit easier to launch notedeck with different column configurations via the commandline. I added a --column argument where it can properly figure out the query based on the column type.
./notedeck
-c contacts:npub1abc...
-c contacts:npub1bcde....
-c universe
-c profile:jb55@jb55.com
will spawn a notedeck with two columns that are the home timelines of two different users, a universe column, and a profile column.
You will be able to manage these in actual deck configurations via the GUI, but its fun to be able to launch decks statelessly as well from the commandline.

Atomic clocks are so precise they can measure the gravitational time dilation difference within atoms one millimeter away from each other.
Just listened to this podcast with Ivette Fuentes where she is devising experiments to probe quantum gravity effects using atomic clocks and entanglement. Interesting stuff.
