El control no está en la intención de cambiar una situación, sino en cambiar tu posición para que el cambio se produzca naturalmente.

A tener presente

#bitcoin

Fuck all politicians, we don't have to be fooled by these distractions.

Justo entre ayer y hoy me escuché los podcasts de LaBitConf del año pasado y el L169, que locura de episodios, un lujo 💜

#bitcoin es la salida, el resto es ruido

El voto para este domingo, Bitcoin es la salida.

Pro/Con of Nostr Clients

Iris.to

Pro: Everyone has a web browser, so it’s easy for beginners to on-board. Simple easy layout.

Con: They use CloudFlare, so do NOT let the website see your private key. You need to use the Flamingo browser extension to sign events because CloudFlare strips away httpS encryption. Without a browser extension, it should be treated like you’re handing your private key to the US government. You can’t view DMs using a browser extension only. Also CloudFlare will browser fingerprint you and block Tor.

Primal.net

Pro: Fast for Tor. I recommend this only for Tor browser. The reason it’s fast is because you’re not getting the content from each individual relay, but it’s aggregated to their database.

Con: Primal’s model is closer to traditional social media, where they can censor content. Beyond using this for speed on Tor, it’s dangerous centralization.

Amethyst

Pro: FOSS Android client in the F-Droid store that works on degoogled phones. Not only is the interface just like Twitter, but they added in “sealed sender” style DMs, similar to Signal to hide metadata.

Con: Be aware that if you’re not using a degoogled phone, then the government and Google can probably get your private key. And for the high risk “tinfoil hat” paranoid, you can’t control the Baseband modem of ANY mobile device which hackers can remotely compromise. But for the average memer, private keys on mobile is fine.

Gossip

Pro: This is what I’d use for famous or controversial influences with a high threat model. Desktop Linux is supported, and it’s programmed in Rust which could potentially add security against memory corruption for poorly vetted third party images downloaded off relays. Password lock on posting is good.

Con: No sealed sender DMs yet. Hard to use.

Tip: You want to first try Amethyst, then graduate to Gossip when you understand that you have to enter a relay where someone posts to find them. (hint: lookup their relays quickly on Tor via primal.net.)

Lume

Pro: Lots of features such as mapping relationships, good widgets for hashtags and topics. Password lock is good.

Con: There’s still Linux bugs. I can’t recommend it for Linux, as I had issues. However, the developer has significantly improved Linux builds from just a few months ago, but it’s not there yet.

Damus

Pro: iPhone Client for less tech-savvy users

Con: Apple (and therefore the government) can probably get that private key, but again for the average person it’s ok.

Please consider reposting this to spread adoption. I might make video tutorials for gossip

I'm using Gossip and it's great. Simple and really fast. I had to compile it with the option "--features=video-ffmpeg" to get video reproduction.

Hope to learn more rust to contribute to the proyect.

Hace unos años tomé la costumbre de documentar todo en el trabajo. Al principio es difícil, y en este "ambiente" donde se trabaja tan mal, todo ya, se hace solo lo mínimo, y así, es más difícil todavía. Ni hablar de sumar a otras personas a esta tarea, lo máximo que podrían llegar a hacer es consultarlo. El resultado se ve en el mediano/largo plazo, pero es un camino de ida. Todo se vuelve más fácil, ya no se apela a la memoria para tratar de recordar como funciona tal o cual cosa, y tampoco se pierde tiempo a ver dónde puede estar esa info.
