So what you're saying is none of your old friends like you anymore?
All sounds very exciting. Why don't you message me on Matrix and we can chat fun ideas etc.
Yes.
Yes, mostly devs working on apps or things built on the NOSTR protocol. There’s not many creators/artists here but that maybe an advantage, Being here relatively early could be a head start.
Im currently getting some help with the people at nos.social and am beta testing their app. They’re building something aimed at creators.
As you know I’m searching at the moment, having quite a few fails but that’s part of the process right?
Sounds good Tim! I think there’s a good vibe of people doing stuff here.
Appreciate the offer… will take you up once I get these core Linux issues fixed. 👊🏼
I’m going to wait until I have something I’m happier with till I clip. Did have a good chat with a proper Linux person irl. We’re going to skill trade and he’ll help me rebuild my server. I’ve made quite a mess with things, he laughed and said even google’s ports and DNS weren’t as complicated as what I’ve muddled together!
I’m definitely seeking… not so much on the social side, I feel like I’ve been through that with the Fediverse but I’m trying new things here (well new to me) and I know I haven’t found the thing I’m looking for yet. For me it’s more about finding a new model for income on a broken internet.
A world where creative people can earn directly for their trade with minimal advertising or surveillance at this stage sounds a little utopian but I’m totally down for that.
Whatever happens I’m going to keep learning.
Not going to stream today, am exhausted from running on empty yesterday and I've got a long session today
However, I've worked out a skill swap with a local Linux wiz. He'll help me rebuild my server, dockerising everything and we'll reverse proxy etc. taking me through each step.
As well as improving security, it should also improve performance.
Very happy there's someone to help irl. I tie myself in knots with online guides and if something doesn't work I never understand why.
My perspective is taking ownership of the data, I already have a domain. If it streams from that I 1: don’t have to pay addition fees 2: I can control what’s archived.
I don’t think Zapstream allows me to delete and the streams so far have all started poorly, especially the first ones where it kept going when OBS crashed.
Ive tried as much as possible to keep and use my data so I have Nextcloud, my music, PeerTube and Mastodon instances.
Personally I think Meta ruined the internet and I’m taking my little piece back!
exactly. it has to come bottom-up
we can vote here on bitcoin-nostr someone from the bottom-up
i’m promoting nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m for US president
i have a plan to lead the campaign.
DNC is August 19-22
NostRiga is August 22-23 (let’s make it public there)
so, we have SEPTEMBER and OCTOBER to make it happen
NEW YOUNG TECH PRESIDENT for the US for the WORLD
who’s with me?
I was hoping it could just be Trump/Biden forever and ever and ever. Think his fun that would be!
We can use AI and robotics to keep them both alive forever. Everyone wins!
Patreon is doing good, but will still rug pull you, the creator. Is your favorite Nostr app the solution?
nostr:nevent1qqsxqcwvrm8ly4k9662qjha25wzdu8a0k3q4g03f7rkrp72p2gdesqg6hhvzj
That talk on YT is really good! Patreon guys seem to deeply understand the creator's needs and problems. And it looks like they're building a good product to try to solve it.
The issue there of course is that Patreon is building a content platform - a single corporate entity that will eventually be forced to change course and will rug pull creators. This is when, not if.
So where should creators talk to their true fans? Where should the conversation happen? Is it one of the high-quality free open source Nostr apps - Damus, Amethyst, Primal, Habla, Highlighter, Zap.stream...?
You still don't own that place, right? Yes it's easy for you to switch from one app to another on Nostr, but now you have to ask all your fans to switch too, right? "Please please please talk to me in app B, not app A"?
Maybe, the right place to talk to your fans is not an aggregator-type discovery-focused Nostr app. Maybe it's something else.
I believe there is a better solution, and it's getting ready for launch. Stay tuned!
I’m still trying to hook things up so I can stream via my own site but not understanding the web stuff is super frustrating.
Zapstream is good, it’s worked well so far but it’s still not data sovereign.
The other thing is culture. Bitcoiners have pissed off a lot of people over the years and I’ve already had the odd comment about being more focussed on it. My reasons go pretty deep and I won’t bore you but I know if I was hosting on my own site using something like Owncast I’d get a lot more support on Fedi.
I’m not hating on ZapStream at all, just reporting what’s going on.
I remember this thing happened once and it wasn’t bitcoin, man that was wild! I didn’t know what to make of it…
Hmm lots to consider with this streaming malarkey. I know I’m a way off with what on earth I’m doing but I’m learning….
I wonder what the kidz do with this stuff to make it look cool? I tried playing with filters etc. but it just looked corny.
Also want to improve the audio.
Will livestream a practice session later today.
