Traveling full-time since 2010. Working on open-source software daily. Currently integrating Nostr features into Kosmos accounts.

Same as channel management on Lightning. Most users cannot be expected to run a reliable routing node, the same as most nostr users won't be able to run and maintain their own relay. Wherever they sign up should come with default relays, which can then be swapped out afterwards if the user wants to do that.

Anyone know what happened to the Electrum Cosigner Pool server? Seems to be down entirely now.

Also, the last commit on https://github.com/spesmilo/cosignerpool was 9 years ago, which seems unrealistic for something that has been running in production for that long. 🤔

PZ is better than plain Phillips, and Torx is my preference for everything. Square and hex are OK, too. Slotted is an unfortunate relic from the past.

Signing an open-source manifesto on X (exclusively) is the most ironic and anti-open-source thing I can imagine.

We have at least 3 popular open protocols for social media these days. Absolutely no need to use a proprietary, centralized, 100%-not-open-source service for that.

I reached mouth-burning zen after staying in North-East Thailand with locals for a few weeks. The key is to remind yourself that nothing is actually burning or hurting you in any real way, and then to passively *observe* the sensation with that in mind.

I know it sounds obvious, and it's not really news, but breaking through that barrier is a fantastic feeling, and it solves the problem for the rest of one's life.

Do you know what these are? I had two of them randomly pop up next to my green onions recently. But they did die after a week or two.

Apparently, this app offers a combined timeline for all of Nostr, Bluesky, and the fediverse:

Aha, I see now. It wasn't clear that it's all about hosting. Thanks for clarifying.

Personally, I use ZeroTier or Wireguard for these things, but it could be interesting in some cases still. I think it still doesn't quite replace the privacy of Tor, but could be useful for convenience and/or speed of deployment for certain things.

Here is another demo of my NIP implementation.

Now using ephemeral events, NIP-44 encryption and NIP-59 gift wraps:

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1276

I suggest we’ll call it NIP-80 after the default http port.

Imagine future browsers ( #browstr ) allowing you to enter http://.nostr/… and it would simply send the http request and receive the response via nostr events! Just like .onion sites but without the slowness of TOR.

It can also be useful for #iot devices that can serve a simple configuration-website and allow “browsing” them from anywhere in the world. I think TOR is too complicated to run on such devices.

I think this is an alternative to VPNs instead of Tor. If you want your IP address to be private no matter what, you have to also connect to nostr relays with something like Tor. And if you have a VPN that you trust, you don't need to tunnel traffic over Nostr in addition to that. Or did I miss something perhaps?

Ironically, what you just did proves why domains are a good grouping concept for (self-service) moderation, which is how federated communication protocols work by design. Nostr client devs could learn from this and allow users to mute all accounts of a NIP-05 domain at once.

(However, Nostr is still too small for this feature to be overly useful. Not enough users with enough different NIP-05 domains at the moment.)

Bonus tip: you can `git push -f` to a remote as much as you want, but just don't do it on branches of e.g. a pull request that others may have checked out already. And you can't really lose anything, if it was on your machine before, `git reflog` is your friend for that case.

`git rebase -i` is your friend. Check it out! (No pun intended.)

Also, if you push a generic WIP commit, like Will suggested, you can just `git reset` to the commit before that on your other machine and proceed to commit different pieces of it after.

If I may nerd out about the Biertische for a minute, I find this interesting. They made 2 improvements to the classic design. The first is X-shaped legs on the tables, so that the legs are less in the way when moving in and out. The second is the triangle attachments to the bench legs, so they don't tip over so easily. Nice!

I'm now finally seeing older notes of the key. Earlier, it was just the last one, and nothing else. Hence my question.

"Trust me bro" is not how verification works. Gavin Andresen also verified "Satoshi's" "signature" at some point.
