45 minute wait. Depending on your starting percentage, percentage, and overall utilization of the charging station, it can take up to an hour to charge. New York City is a special place where nothing makes sense. But if you’re on a long drive

outside of the city, it’s quick - no wait and charge for ~20 minutes to get 2-3 hours of drive to the next charging station.

This is the queue to charge electric vehicles in Brooklyn. Welcome to hell.

First day feeling fully rested after a rough few weeks. 😊

Proton Mail iOS is way better and faster now. I thought about leaving their service before because it was so bad.

It’s still terribly slow on web / desktop but I found a workaround: use Proton Bridge + IMAP email client (like Thunderbird or Apple Mail).

That feeling when you finally upgrade your wife’s phone and computer to the latest major OS after two years of not doing so, while she’s sleeping without her noticing. 🫡

Download my Safari extension, Nostash, and plug in your nsec there

Then, log in with “Extension”

iPhone 13 Pro is noticeably slower than the newer devices. I upgraded from 13 Pro to 14 Pro last year and it was obvious. iOS 26 seems to be running ok for me.

Leaving for a week-long business trip tomorrow morning and one of the legs underneath the bed decides to break. Added some makeshift support with cardboard boxes underneath so that my wife has somewhere to sleep while I’m gone but it’s janky as hell. Bad timing and we were planning to get a new bed next month for our new house. 😭

Sweet! I haven’t maintained it in a while but hopefully it’s working fine for you!

Our friends in Kyiv went to the bomb shelter yet again from 3-6am last night amidst so called peace negotiations. Putin is a dickhead indeed.

Totally forgot about it. It went away!

Sorry about the warning. I can assure you Nostash will not do any of those things. The only thing it does with respect to changing the page is add JavaScript functions onto the webpage window to access. I don’t think I can restrict the requested Safari extension permissions further. In theory, a malicious extension could read the DOM to scrape sensitive information, but that’s not what is happening. Nostash is open source so anybody can inspect it as long as you believe that is the code that I shipped to the App Store, and the app has been reviewed by Apple, so take that as you will.

Thanks to nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s for cleaning up my vibecoded Rust localization additions to Damus Android/Notedeck. Having app translations is critical to reach the global audience. English is not the only language in this world, and not everyone is fluent. It’s the responsibility of builders to make their software as widely accessible as possible.

I can’t take all the credit. Our translators: nostr:npub12r2xlvrjp5v0psx76frx9nauy7dyfjdxdrgw5qtg3h7lk0z2g7ksejmnwd (German), nostr:npub1mpz30qp2gdr403t2apjzhla56fh94hs8zgznw5pp26q0tztw27dsu60pxm (French), and nostr:npub1raspu6ag9kfcw9jz0rz4z693qwmqe5sx6jdhhuvkwz5zy8rygztqnwfhd7 (Chinese) did a lot of work here. More to come soon!

Yes, but there are legitimate reasons why a NIP-05 service provider might not want to do that:

- Doesn’t scale. Imagine if there were a million users

- Privacy reasons. An organization may not want to reveal the entire directory to protect its users.

Popular providers already don’t return the raw nostr.json.

Calling all Nostr NIP-05 service providers. Anyone interested in adding NIP-05 bulk queries so that you don’t get accidentally DoS’d? Damus currently queries NIP-05 providers N times to build NIP-05 web of trust feeds. It’d be great if I could query only once instead of 600+ times for popular domains like NostrPlebs or Primal.

Terry's NostrSearch.com domain is having issues, but you can access the one quick deploy solution at https://npub1zsxrty4gg9nsad8smlmh7r4nuprjzdjmtzhzlka0x3wpezvfha0q35f6hq.shakespeare.to/ and test out his NIP-19 search. It's pretty technical at the moment, but the potential is there. Great work, Terry!

Thanks for the support! It seems that Namecheap’s URL redirect solution seems to not work for https. It does with http, and it does redirect to the https shakespeare link. At some point, I’ll look into deploying it on my own server so that it fixes this problem. But here it is:
