Thanks for letting me know!

Most clients don't report errors anyway and the nostr runs smoot even if some relays are offline. That's how it should be. šŸ˜€

Anyone recently experienced problems with my relay at.nostrworks.com? It seems the webpage (with payment info) runs into timeouts often, but the websockets seems not be affected. Will have to investigate. Any comments welcome.

No, not yet! Do you think it should?

Firstly, I appreciate you being worried about my "benefit". But don't worry. I'm a big boy.

It is perfectly valid to say that you believe some of my stated ideas to be extreme. I'll happily disagree; and we can debate those ideas.

It is not valid to say: "I hear only one side extremism from you." That is an ad hominem attack, and a false generalization that goes well beyond the ideas that I had stated.

Now, as to my assertion that the events of Oct 7th "must not be justified". What justification can there be for putting infants into ovens and roasting them alive? What justification can there be for descending on a dance concert with a squadron of ultra-light aircraft and spraying the dancers with automatic weapon fire? I could go on. You know the atrocities that were committed. I'm sure you've seen the videos taken by the perpetrators and heard the testimony of the survivors.

There can be no justification for such actions. No matter how oppressed, subjucated, and violated you have been; you cannot roast babies alive. And since such atrocities were not isolated, but were generally executed across the entire attack; and since the perpetrators filmed and posted their attacks to the cheers of many, and since they phoned home to brag about killing jews with their bare hands, it is clear that the atrocities were the point, and not just incidental.

In a moral society, we have to draw moral lines. Without those lines there is no morality. Such lines are not extreme; they are necessary to maintain the definition of morality. Therefore we must not attempt to justifiy actions that cross those lines. If we try, we will find ourselves erasing all moral lines and justifying the horrors of Auschwitz.

Thanks for standing up and stating it so clear: There can be no justification for such atrocities. Never ever! ā¤

Are you talking about those Mastodon cross posters, you reposted earlier? I suppose they don’t see what’s happening here on Nostr.

Good morning! Tea or coffee, the same principle applies. We don’t live in climates where coffee/tea grows naturally. It has to be transported thousands of miles and requires special packaging and storage. That tea bag started as a tree that was harvested by a man with a gas powered chainsaw, moved with heavy equipment to a truck where it was shipped to a mill and processed using more heavy machinery, toxic chemicals and dozens of people that drove to work that day. That’s just to make the paper for the teabags. Now apply that thinking to everything you eat. Packaging is one of the biggest parts of everyone’s carbon footprint that is most often ignored.

Cut fuel use by 50%? Most of my food comes without packaging! More like cut fuel use by 1000%

Beef has such a high carbon footprint because it is imported, fed manufactured food and processed in a factory. Try buying a grass fed animal from a local farmer and having it processed by a local butcher. You will support your local economy, get healthier food and actually remove carbon from your footprint. Here in the states we had 30,000,000 buffalo roaming the plains before they were ignorantly slaughtered. Large, grass fed ruminants, when farmed on a savanna type landscape actually help remove carbon from the air and put it in the soil where it belongs. Cows don’t have a bad carbon footprint, how we raise them does.

Thanks for the kind words about the farm. It’s been a lifelong dream that took me 28 years to realize. The goal is to be as self sufficient as possible. I don’t ā€œsellā€anything from my farm. Selling invites regulations and government. We trade with other people in our community. For example, recently I traded eggs from my chickens for a bushel of blueberries, traded meat for butter. Last year I produced 1000lbs of food for me and my wife, all in a way that removes carbon from the air. Traded the surplus and returned the excess to the land.

That’s why I asked for a debate. Most people, just like the app you suggested, don’t take lifestyle into account. Sure, I drive an F150 a few thousand miles a year, but I’ll put that carbon up against the carbon emissions for the packaging required for a week’s worth of the average person’s groceries. I believe that on an annual basis my actions result in a net negative carbon footprint. My truck isn’t evil and I wouldn’t be able to lead the life I live without it.

Interesting discussion so far. And thanks for sharing your knowledge as a farmer. It sounds like a great dream to persue! From what I have read so far I am skeptical about your point that the carbon footprint of your meat is so low. What do you think about the following article? It shows the large differences between producers: https://ourworldindata.org/less-meat-or-sustainable-meat

Are there still people who are so desparate to believe this bullshit? I am talking about the "theses" on this website. Each single headline can be debunked within seconds. And who are these 1501 so called "scientists"? Pulmonologists, I guess. Laughable. Why do you share such nonsense?

I am talking about my own contact list, not my followers.

Okay, I have problems as well. It seems Damus only reads a fraction of my contact list, maybe it is because of this issue. I need to investigat further.

But I would recommend to ALWAYS store the "/" at the ende of an URL, it is the correct serialized value of an URL, ommiting it is bad practice.

See the spec: https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#url-path-serializer

But why do you strip the "/" in URLs? I think the serialized representation of paths always include the "/" so it would be better to append it, but to strip it.

Thanks for your help. I am quite sure it does not have anything to do with relays, in my case. I was connected to the same relays, checked back and forth.

Now I have uploaded my old contact list using gossip (it can merge and push your contact list) and Damus still shows a higher number but still not the correct one.
