A nostr Friday morning for an old man still learning - futzing around with a new Private Nostr RS Relay on StartOS. My brain isn’t full yet, but it does take more effort to put things into it.

I have set up a private relay on StartOS with the Nostr RS Relay package.

It doesn’t seem to work when I have tried to attach to the relay with:

A community of like-minded people informing each other about value has always been the natural state. It, itself, is the ‘true leader’. To believe such community is informed by a spiritual leader does not explain anything. Zizek belief of our natural state doesn’t make sense to me. And his philosophy elevates the possibility of a populist leaders. As communities of like minded people navigate the conflicts among themselves, our history is made. Best we can do is share what makes sense to us, listen to what makes sense to others, and act where it is necessary. Keep up the good work nostr.

I am learning nostr. Best value I have found is to follow specific hashtags, such as ‘#relays OR #nostrrelays OR #nostrdev OR #nostrdevs or #nostrprotocol OR #nostrhelp OR #relay OR #nostrrelay NOT #nsfw NOT #boobstr’

If you create nostrobserver to follow hashtags in this way, I believe many might find value in it.

Labor required of others is a basic human condition.

Where is the ‘. . . fair means of correcting deviations’? When the means reveals itself, I dread that it will not be fair.

I am learning on my Raspberry Pi V4 with 4GB Ram. It has been a couple of days and I have about 40% of the Blockchain. I have had to restart it a couple of times, but so far it is running cooler (mid 50’s) than it did when I was running a Lightning Node with RaspiBlitz. If it works out I will probably spin up start9 on an old Mac mini with 16GB Ram and a SSD.

Thank you. I see that a start9 VPN is targeted for a future upgrade. I am awaiting the blockchain to sync before I look more a the start9 Nostr Relay. I will tend not to expose my IP address for a Relay.

If theories, theologies and theater of the community persist in sustaining it members, even to the last of them, is there something else to be said about its benefit as an instrument. Do those things really exist elsewhere?

I would like to install PIA VPN on my new #start9 server running on a raspberry pi. Anyone have any experience or advice about proceeding with accepting “DIRE CONSEQUENCES of doing so”.

I ran to this when I first started:

THIS IS NOT A STANDARD DEBIAN SYSTEM

USING apt COULD CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO YOUR START9 SERVER

PLEASE TURN BACK NOW!!!

"In a statement shared on social media, WoS announced that it had voluntarily removed its app from the US-based app stores and would no longer serve US customers."

Is the relay menu something at becomes available after installation of the Relay? Is it available to see elsewhere?

Anyone using the Nostr RS Relay from the Start9 marketplace? I am looking for advice on setup and configuration. Any site you might share on the subject would be appreciated.

I should have said it was my great nephew (~20 years old) who looks for moral clarity in the events of today. As the young person he is, he believes that there is some eternal, transcendental truth existing outside of our experience by which we are able to make sense of our experience. Being an old man, I was no help. I beleive that the sense we make or our experience is within the communities we share our perspectives which allows for the emergence of our shared reality. The will to power has always made more sense to me than the unmoved mover.

I take myself to be more of a skeptic than a critic regarding democracy. I agree that some measure of the expression of the people’s ‘will’ seems necessary to satisfy the definition of democracy. Perhaps that could be done by vote, but I reject the assumptions necessary to synthesize a totality of votes into an expression of the people’s will.

I am all in with the transparent technologies that allow for communities of like minded people to emerge through the exchange of ideas. The technology you are building may have some value in the communities that accept that technology. In those communities where it is imposed, I will always have doubt.

Thus I am here, on nostr.

My nephew wants to talk about how to find some moral bearing in the many confusing narratives of the phenomena of our experience. I told him that morality and rationality seem similar to me. They are both what emerges within a community of like-minded thinkers sharing their perspectives. Those things exists only within the narratives of those communities. Whether those communities persists depends on the benefit their narratives convey to the members of those communities. We will talk tomorrow.

Nostrs, let us continue to share and allow those things which will benefit us to emerge.

Until you can identify the authority that will separate elections from the state, I will continue to believe that what you call the two fundamental problems with elections are not bugs from the prospective of those running the elections.

ELIJAH J. MAGNIER's thoughts on what is happending in the Middle East also make sense.

Money is not the root of all evil. It is the love of money that is the root of all evil. The love of Bitcoin is probably not different.

The proper use of money is not the root of evil.

Can you say more about how it is an exercise in Hegelian dialectic? I laughed at it like the boomer I am, but it has been too long since I read Hegel to catch that relationship. Thanks
