“We’re all bored now. But has it ever occurred to you, Wally, that the process that creates this boredom that we see in the world now may very well be a self-perpetuating unconscious form of brainwashing created by a world totalitarian government based on money and that all of this is much more dangerous than one thinks and it’s not just a question of individual survival, Wally, but that somebody who’s bored is asleep and somebody who’s asleep will not say no?” - Andre Gregory in 1981’s My Dinner With Andre

Wonderful
Sending a zap to myself somehow easier than migrating loose change from an old wallet via any other method?
Galls law "A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system."
Cyber pandemic?
How do I use gallery? I posted a note with a picture attached, it didn't appear. Is it somewhere else? Or tag it somehow?
Huge milestone: First demo of Nostr Web Services (NWS) bringing TCP to Nostr. With NWS, you can host any existing web application on Nostr without having to use DNS or even announce your public IP to the world, simply by sharing your service's npub (or nprofile).
Try it out the demo yourself. Here is a Cashu test mint running with NWS. Let's use curl to retrieve the mint's information. The request travels from your computer to the public NWS entry relay, then through nostr to the service's NWS exit relay. At the other end is a Cashu mint with HTTPS encryption.
```
curl -s -x socks5h://relay.8333.space:8882 https://nprofile1qqs8a8nk09fhrxylcd42haz8ev4cprhnk5egntvs0whafvaaxpk8plgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuwpnxvejuumsv93k2g6k9kr/v1/info --insecure | jq
```
I can't stress this enough: THE MINT RUNS BEHIND HTTPS!
The NWS entry relay can't read your traffic. It's encrypted. We can host public entry relays that can be used by anyone.
This means we can plug the entire internet to it 🌐.
Let's plug it into Cashu for now. Nutshell wallet supports socks5 proxies (that's how it uses Tor). By setting the public entry relay as the proxy, the wallet can now connect to a mint's npub/nprofile and communicate with it via NWS.
This is going to be so freaking cool. And it's going to be a lot more useful than just for Cashu. There are still bugs and issues that need to be ironed out but the code is coming out soon. Watch this space.
So Nostr web service accepts an npub and returns content from an IP address? Or, is the content a note stored on a relay?
This is a very important piece replete with sources that people will point back to when #AUStriches bubble finally bursts and all the parasites try to claim “no one saw this coming!” *Very* long read but believe me, it’s worth it.
Yeah we saw it coming. It wasn’t one problem. It was a litany of them overlapping, caused by unimpressive incompetent people who drove the country into the ground by screwing up on EVERY SINGLE THING THAT MATTERS.
Housing, health, security, education, employment, energy, manufacturing, immigration, banking, politics and culture.
This covers the whole gamut. Nearly every layer of every major ponzi and protection racket being run in Australia to the detriment of Australians.
nostr:npub1jmy8weweqzckna0amz7pn0uhhkxx693l7st23829ewmu43yvjsesfp6xcq reminds me occasionally to get out of Victoria - Victoria isn’t the problem though; the whole country is.
There’s nowhere inside these borders to hide from this calamity because there is absolutely no thing or one who can stop this train now.
Good luck #AUStriches, we’re all gonna need it.
Thank Satoshi for #Bitcoin..

Matt Barrie understands all these problems, and is a lifelong tech entrepreneur, yet somehow doesn't recognize #bitcoin is the solution.
Claude is unreasonably better than chatGPT. I'm using continue.dev to plug Claude into VS code and frankly, it's blowing my mind.
I shouldn't have commented, I don't know your relationship with your uncle.
My beef is with the western individualism sensibility. But if family members would take care of each other, bankers would make less money, right?
"Bank of mom and dad" derided for a reason.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
Great. I similarly had it run a "pick a path" book in the style of fighting fantasy "warlock of fire top mountain", with character creation, dice rolls, monster fights, etc. It did really well
Beautiful day at the beach today
Next stop, Figma
Getting more seriously back into design and dev after 15 years.
Getting to hello world with a modern IDE and git for a sveltekit app on vercel in production in about four hours.
Getting a working prototype of an anonymous messaging app on Nostr in another four hours.
Confident it would have taken me a month 15 years ago. Instead, up in 8 hours. Lesson in this.
