Oddbean in Spring.Site is my new favorite news reader.
Ok, pro tip, thanks. It calls it a browser. But, its also a signer, and also an app store, and also at times a client. I guess browser sums it up.
Kia ora tena koe from across the ditch.
And look, I'm just jealous as I would love to have half the hard skills of even a poor homesteader. Yes, Bitcoin and perhaps homesteading exist due to market failures in other systems, but what they give up in terms of efficiency they gain in terms of resilience. Over- specialisation creates fragility. Got to have some resilience!
Is there a name for what spring.site is? Do we call this simply a "browser", or is it something more/else? #asknostr
Idea for an account which gives badges to new nostr users when they complete quests.
Have you ever noticed that nostr needs more and better user retention?
Well this account gamifies the onboarding process, awarding badges to new users who complete actions for the first time, like building a follow list, replying to comments, or receiving their first zap.
And in fact, this account would benefit every nostr client natively, and could gamify any specific onboarding actions they view as important for retention.
Needs a visual designer for the badge set and brand identity of the account, and an engineer for a job that watches the global feed and awards the badge for qualifying actions.
The less you can trust the market options and the people around you for obtaining food, shelter, energy, the more you will want to invest in your own back up solutions. Solutions you would normally never invest in. In terms of price-quality, economy of scale and the time and energy it takes to maintain them (especially!!) they very often are just poor choices.
Providing your own heating and growing your own food can be a satisfying experience but economically they don't make sense. On something like a bitcoin standard you would only perform a small selection of these as a hobby or scale up to become a farmer of some sort.
We face these choices on our farm all the time. Every time the ideal choice is either to stop doing a certain activity or to scale it up to a business. But when we cannot trust any other option for, let's say, heating, I still chainsaw my own wood instead of buying gas or straight up starting a woodgas power plant. Even hiring someone to cut my wood for me is too expensive because of fiat. But even if it would be worth it, why would that then even have to MY wood?
On a bitcoin standard I would still back up certain things but not like we do now. It would be more federated and with better tech.
Now we have our own well water and have to maintain the pump, reservoirs, filters etc on ridiculously small scale. Ideally I'd just have a diversified set of market options or scale up and sell to my neighbours (which now is illegal).
We have 11ha of pasture where we can harvest 2-3 cows/buffaloes from every year. This not the scale we would have chosen at all if we could ignore regulations, taxes, vaccinations, ......
In my dreams I handle a huge herd of water buffaloes with a bunch of partners, tracking and stearing them from my phone with a NoFence system, visiting them whenever we please with the kids and sending out grassfed unvaccinated meat twice a year to our steakholders.
Hope that blurt explains it a bit 😉 nostr:npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc nostr:npub185y96dht53tr5ja59cydjlqdclv9m9utap6jsvg0q9hefd3g82ysm0c63p nostr:npub1zl9whkrnjlfgg9q0k39r4tymu4ty3r5uy6tgxqdnd7f6xxcf8dms580mpt
I get it. I agree, if you can trust in a fair market then division of labour will always be more effective. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_of_labour
I had thought you meant the homestead principal, that is the basis for all ownership is that someone at sometime once put in the work (PoW). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homestead_principle
All the normal internet business models will work on Nostr, and some of them will even work better.

Once we break $69k, I think we teleport to $420k. Because memes.
Thanks for the fast reply Mazin, so cool. I think I have that rust relay up and running. Docs make me wonder if the NIP-42 implementation is focussed on write rather than read. If you have custom rolled yours, was stirfry your starting point? Do you have any plans to share or license your code? I am not sure what's involved in that, I am just trying to figure out an entry point to explore further.
Is your relay completely custom? Or is there an existing relay implementation which restricts read access to authorized users in the way that you've demonstrated? I'm looking at nip 42 implementations and finding that they usually about restricting write access rather than read access. Or maybe I've misunderstood. I would truly appreciate your input!
Incredible resource of all the best #nostr tools
Does anyone have a good walkthrough for setting up an NSecBunker? Video demo or howto guide? #nsecbunker #asknostr (I'd rather not bother nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft he's doing way more important things!)
Awesome! Also, great to find you on #thenostr
Maybe I need to have a NIP-07 signer in my browser before it accepts the connection string?
Trying to figure out NsecBunker. I tried to buy a 1 hour one but it threw errors. Now I am trying to run my own on a VPS but it doesn't seem to accept the connection string. Maybe I just don't get it? Anyone have a bunker and have tips for getting it working? #asknostr
Well done on this, seriously! https://usenostr.org/relay helpful guide to set up a relay. Nice relay https://sr.ht/~gheartsfield/nostr-rs-relay/ Looking forward to exploring features, NIP-42 in particular.
