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

What's up with all the seemingly generated comments and profiles that are faking engagement at YakiHonne? Not a good look.

I don't understand why you would announce the end-all-be-all solution of a decentralized, user-controlled Internet on a centralized, corporate-owned blog platform. How can I trust you to bring about this amazing new Internet technology when you're unable to publish a simple Web page under your own control? 🤔

"We may not be the best in presenting ourselves, but what matters is that we onboarded the FBI" to Tether's compliance systems, he added. "We onboarded the U.S. Secret Service. We have thank-you letters from the DOJ … We think we are doing, you know, the best we can." — Paolo Ardoino

Tether already looks a lot like a semi-private U.S. CBDC. And it makes sense, since the Federal Reserve banks are privately owned, too. May as well extend the current collaborations with some kind of permanent oversight board, stacked with more government bureaucrats.

Pubky looks promising. I already believed that the Mainline DHT could be the best way of resolving DIDs in a truly decentralized fashion, when I saw this idea a while ago:

Both adding Nostr support to a feed reader, as well as adding RSS/Atom support to a Nostr reader (that is optimized for long-form content) would be nice to have. It's basically the same app and the protocol shouldn't even matter much to a user. Ideally the experience is exactly the same when you paste a Nostr URI as when you paste a RSS or Atom URL.

I rely heavily on Feedbin for most of my news and long-form content, so for now I'll just subscribe to Nostr feeds using my own Nostr feed generator. There's hardly any long-form content on Nostr as of now, so opening e.g. Habla a few times a day, with zero updates for most of the week, was too frustrating of an experience.

You can configure Substr for multiple relays and arbitrary username/pubkey pairs, so this is how I'm reading nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6's articles now (and finally not missing any, because new ones will pop up in my feed reader):

(Also, that content was great for fixing a bunch of content styles, URI parsing/linking, and more.)

Sorry, I had the query limit set to only 10 items for the article list. Now that it shows more, I badly need pagination for this profile. 😅

nostr:npub1p23eukh0nxsqpfaakz6fj9vvj27y4gs0kevnrffdq4d4adkl7uuq7crnl6 I have some Markdown suggestions for your nostr:npub1ga6szaamdwc3x7zwf9eldvhrm5n778hlyf7kuwxsq3kkrztfusdququqm2 release content...

1. Use `

` and lower (i.e.`##`, `###`) for headlines in the article content

2. Use a proper link element for the magnet links (i.e. `[Magnet link](magnet:?xt=urn:btih:e18e92024...)`

That's a big "just", when you have to explain everything to them and then see to it that they don't do anything wrong. They're not a friend of mine, and I don't have time to do free bitcoin support for them.

Hey Brits, what's a good link I could give to a future-coiner living in the UK, who was just asked by a freelancer in Ghana to pay invoices in BTC, but who has no idea how bitcoin works at all? No knowledge, no wallet, no coins. Where do I send them?

I do know exactly what you're talking about. My fiancée is INTJ...

Similarly, even when they're scared, they usually still scare everyone else with their facial expression. 😅

It's all about preferences. INTPs can become very extroverted with the right crowd for example. And people obviously change behaviors depending on mood, health, etc..

I also try to timeblock things sometimes, but it never lasts long. If you can withstand "no plan at all" for any periods longer than 1 day, you're most likely not an INTJ. 😅

They can keep their cool like no other type. I envy that trait sometimes.

I think that just means you haven't looked into the topic enough yet. I'm INTP and my partner is INTJ, and these two types are quite different in some ways. In fact, all the main functions are directed in opposites. However, they still share many personality traits, so a lot of the online tests can results in random outcomes for some people.

There is currently work being done https://github.com/getAlby/lightning-browser-extension/issues/3232

nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7erfw36x7tnsw43z7un9d3shjqpqrszx0h6nu2s4rj9g0r8ny5kyfa0lauez6dy368dtyx4km5rw9dyqptzp4a was working on it. I could not follow up with in the recent weeks sadly.

It is using the podcast:value tag. Do you have feedback on it? would be cool to get it in substr and also do an announcement of it.

I was also additionally thinking about paid content requestable through l402.

Thanks!

I'll look into it and add feedback to that issue.

Feedbin picked up my Substr blog's article update. Nothing surprising there; it's just always great to see multiple open protocols working seamlessly in combination.
