lol, no way! I'd love one of these... savoury house seems like such a great idea. you could have one gingerbread and one cheese house.

I feel that. Feels like it's been years since I've truly relaxed and slept well, woke refreshed. 😿

Check out something like nostr:npub1am3ermkr250dywukzqnaug64cred3x5jht6f3kdhfp3h0rgtjlpqecxrv7 where you don't ever have to expose your nsec to clients to authorise usage.

Hey #asknostr: what are some current, popular ways to write long form articles for #nostr? Few years ago I used nostr:npub1048qg5p6kfnpth2l98kq3dffg097tutm4npsz2exygx25ge2k9xqf5x3nf, is that still the way?

Are there alternatives?

I've had issues in the past with Markdown rendering issues on habla (although I'm generally happy with it), just wondering if there's alternatives that support Markdown-based drafting rather than WYSIWYG.

arfy's musings on privacy:

This is a great post and resonates on so many levels.

I used to be like this, for ~25 years. It was extremely difficult in the later years. It was easier in the days of dial-up BBSing, and when the internet was much younger. Privacy and anonymity were very much the de facto position back in those days of the early 90s. I have wild stories of hacking and phreaking back in the day, but those are tales for another time.

Anyway, life and work got in the way, and I eased up on this position. Feelsbadman, but it is what it is. :goberserk:

I still value my privacy, use VPNs and things like tailscale with my own hosts around the globe to protect my privacy. But I'd be a liar if I said I 100% cover all my tracks, all the time. Far from it.

Kudos to anyone still making the effort to remain truly digitally clean. It's such hard work, and I respect people highly for trying to maintain it. :MEOWDY:

I could use more of that magic energy 🤣

For anyone who is interested, apparently jumble has this "feature": if you specify just one single relay instead of the default optimal relays, you will end up with a protected event.

Really wish we could toggle this behaviour, because I can see a lot of instances where it's not the desired behaviour for the user.

I'm simply testing some code tonight against a single relay, and running into this. If you understand the problem, it's easy to just use another client, but it can be confusing if one is unaware.

Grab an event based on its hex identifier, with `nak`:

(command line tools are arfy's fave for this reason, their flexibility is so great!)

Update on the superfriends #relay:

Now that superfriends has migrated over to #strfry, I've been able to shut down this extra proxy filtering service I had in front of the old relay, which would blacklist known spammers.

In lieu of that, I've ported my proxy filter code into a blacklist plugin for strfry. It's absolutely amazing how extensible this is! I love how I no longer need to run an extra service, and the plugin is called as needed to do the same thing. :catTime:

Perfect, thanks so much! Exactly what I needed. 😻🙏

Hey nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 is there a way to fetch a hex string event with `nak`?

For example I just want to fetch a post, or reaction event, based on a hex identifier.

Thanks!

it's funny cause it's true 😼

hello dere lil buddy 😻

That would make moot the whole point of an in-place upgrade for the end users.

If anyone has issues for any reason (nobody's had any problem thus far), the legacy server is of course still accessible for exporting their data via a separate legacy FQDN.

love this message! it's so true

q'pla 🫡

That's amazing, what a milestone! I'll have my 3y nostr anniversary next March, but I haven't been as active here consistently as you.

congratulations!

I feel this a lot, these years. 💀

it's like every update needs a subsequent update to fix it.

oh. cool.

We didn't need those VPNs anyway.

This is a great point and I've postured similar thoughts in a post a few days ago. I don't think exclusivity is intentional these days but there's a real microcosm of ideologies that challenge wider adoption. Both technical and content-based.

Definitely! I've been using many already. It's always nice to hear about new projects that fill a need here in the nostr space.

Greetings! Thought I'd drop a fresh post for #introductions as it's been a while.

I got into #nostr in 2023, ran a relay even back then. I was on hiatus due to work and life being extremely busy. I've recently returned, upgraded my public #relay, and am happy to be back. Work and life is still very busy, but I want to make more time for nostr.

Just really bullish on the developments in the past years. Admittedly I'm not a Bitcoin maxi (anymore), although it's one of my largest bags. I take a more moderate approach to most things in life, these days.

Overall, I'm just glad to be here, and help nostr continue to grow by providing my public relay to everyone. Feel free to use it:

wss://nostr.superfriends.online

it's fantastic to see so many useful apps being built and updated for nostr! I've only heard of about half of these, so lots to try out.

Seems after about an hour or two, everything fixed itself and all my Follows are back, phew!

Oddly enough, all the clients were showing the same 0 Following, so it wasn't just one client being the issue. And I was going in via multiple relays. nostr.watch was also showing all relays offline, and multiple clients I tried couldn't load any feeds.

I wonder if nostr hit a blip somehow... which would be concerning considering it's decentralized.

At least I haven't lost my following list! 😻🙏
