Beautiful day. Summer is on its way!

Spent the morning mowing the lawn and cleaning the gutters.

Too nice for computers today.

The term ā€œWokeā€ is just a simple way for dumbasses to state they hate something. It’s also a codeword for minorities they don’t like.

ā€œWokeā€ is a word/ term made for 10 year olds who can’t express how they truly feel.

Don’t be fooled.

What's your OS of preference?

I currently make use of MacOS and Windows, but tempted to switch my Windows PC to linux. Problem is the lack of gaming support, even though I know it's gotten better over the years (Proton, I love my SteamDeck).

Oh, and losing my Affinity Designer & Photo software. Boo =[

Good morning!

Random thought of the morning. It’s been months since last having a McDonalds, and I don’t hate it.

Garbage food that’s overpriced. Used to be a time where it’s good value. Gone are those days.

Good night.

Anyone else getting problems with the relays dropping out on Primal? Had it happen a few times this evening.

A password manager is pretty standard for holding Nostr keys. It basically has built in 2FA: something you have (the password database) and something you know (the password to unlock it).

There are people working to make this more usable/safer in the future.

There's Amber, which holds your private key in one app and then other nostr clients can request that Amber signs each post (so the nostr clients never see the key, only Amber does). That doesn't address backups, but it helps lower the risk of a key being compromised.

Other people are working on multi-sig solutions so two apps would need to be involved in signing each post. There's quite a bit going on in this area.

Yeah, so the sharing of the private key is one of my major concerns with whatever application/ platform you're utilising. You can control your key and be as careful as ever, but it only takes one mistake and it's gone.

The whole seed words being able to generate "application passwords/ keys" is a great idea. Will give Mani a follow and stay up to date with that project.

Will take a look at Amber. I'm still only early days on Nostr, but it's a concern I couldn't shake today when utilising the private key to log into other applications.

Thanks for the write up, appreciate it and great food for thought.

7 years is nothing really on bikes as long as they're maintained well. What was the original RRP?

Looks interesting! Will have to dive deeper into that. Thanks!
