Announcing #Knox: a new Nostr bunker CLI https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqprpljlvcnpnw3pejvkkhrc3y6wvmd7vjuad0fg2ud3dky66gaxaqqykkmn00qkkyet5vyhjuvda
I tried, believe me. I fought bravely and died.
The Fediverse is unhinged. They are the funniest people online (excluding Mastodon which is the exact opposite). I just wish they wouldn't say the n-word so much.
I love JK Rowling.
Part of the problem (or solution?) is we're a bunch of separate people working on separate projects with average developer salaries. Give me $6M and let me be a dictator and I'll take it to the moon.

I want to fix the Nostr usernames on ActivityPub. How cursed would it be if I check the User-Agent for Mastodon and return a different Actor?
#Mostr Bridge got an upgrade. š
Now NIP-05 names on the bridge have a separate subdomain for each ActivityPub server.
For example: alex_at_gleasonator.com@mostr.pub has become alex@gleasonator-com.mostr.pub
This means that from Nostr, each ActivityPub server can be treated separately, for indexing and moderation purposes.
On #Ditto you can now look at a feed each ActivityPub server separately. And they even display a favicon from the upstream server!

It's okay to put metal in the microwave. Put medieval plate armor in the microwave.
This is dumb. I gotta write code and tired of arguing, so instead I'm going to send you this list of 65 arguments for why you should go vegan. https://www.godfist.com/vegansidekick/guide.php š
Yes, I read it years ago and fully believed it. When I read it again now I think it's bullshit: https://freeross.org/misinformation/
This Curtis Green guy is cucked.
Ross tried to kill him and he's backing him up. š¤£ Maybe he's scared?
"On Feb. 16 photos of Green's staged torture were sent to Roberts. Less than a week later a fake photo of Green's supposedly dead body was also delivered to which Ulbricht allegedly replied: "I'm pissed I had to kill him... but what's done is done." On Mar. 1, the second $40,000 installment was sent to the Capital One Bank account."
No I genuinely think Ross is a bad guy, and I feel like I was tricked into believing he's a hero for years until someone argued with me online about it exactly as I'm doing now.
I am at the point in my career where I am rewriting huge amounts of JavaScript code by writing scripts that do crazy find-and-replace logic of my source code instead of doing it by hand. Maybe I could be the next Evan You.
On one hand you have people being falsely charged. On the other hand you have criminals walking free. Neither are justice. But the courts are fucked, so it is common to seek justice in the wrong way.
I understand the nuance. I just think Bitcoin freaks should do a little more critical thinking, something they rarely do, because many of them treat Bitcoin like a religious cult and Ross as a martyr. I got into Bitcoin because it's open source money. It's revolutionary. But I pray to no God, not even the Bitcoin God.
This is not about rape, though. This is about attempted murder. Of six people!
For creating Silk Road, I think there should be no punishment at all. For hiring hitmen multiple times and attempting to kill 6 people, I think he should spend life in prison.
> what should be my sentence of saying Alex should be killed? ;)
That's not what happened. What should your sentence be if you paid a hitman $150,000 to kill me but he didn't actually? Look at it from my perspective - this guy being out of jail is a danger to my life. Just because he failed to do it doesn't make it justice.
He hired a hitman for $80K to kill someone. Then he later hired a different hitman for $150K to kill someone. Then he hired the same hitman again for $650K to kill 4 more people. Each time he believed he was doing it. They sent him photos of the body (which detectives recovered... but I guess was fake?)
He sent money the money (to the second guy) to a Bitcoin address, which you can look at and verify. It's included in the transcript.
They are saying the second guy scammed him hard and never actually committed any of the murders. The first guy supposedly also scammed him. But imagine paying someone nearly a million dollars to kill 6 people. This man is a danger to society.
I brought up Aaron Swartz because he is an actual libertarian icon who was falsely prosecuted. Why not choose better heroes? I stand by it that Ross is the George Floyd of Bitcoin bros. Maybe even moreso that they didn't actually commit the murders.
I can accept the idea that the 5 people (actually 6) were not actually murdered. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/02/the-hitman-scam-dread-pirate-roberts-bizarre-murder-for-hire-attempts/ Now we are getting closer to the truth. But should Ross be forgiven for trying? This is not like an oopsie whoopsie, had a brain fart haha my bad kind of issue.
