Nostr could serve as a really good bridge between mesh networks and the present internet.

we have a small cage that serves as a sort of halfway house for baby chickens who are old enough to be alone outside, but too young to sleep alone outside. when we start putting a group of young chickens in the cage, one of the things we watch for, is which of the grown free range chickens decides to spend the most time at the cage door of the baby chicks. we are discovering a correlation between that chickens personality, and the overall personality of the new group. 🙂

Working to hear the scorcher that today is supposed to be. Flipping #compost again. Still fumbling my way through, but it is looking decent...I think.

when you are so different from the herd and multifaceted, even surrounded by others, you are always alone.

How many relationship issues are caused by couples blindly accepting the “traditional” one-size-fits-all relationship model?

I love the concept of designer relationships. You can just make your own rules! Do whatever the @#$$% works for you and your partner.

If you write notes more than you interact with your note comments and followers you're nostring wrong.

Build real connections with people.

I will always value comments above reactions or zaps. It is the most human option of the 3 primary options.

Hello is anyone reading this?

Here’s a question I’ve been pondering a while… are the Turkish people the most welcoming to travellers?

Here’s my reasoning…

I (Dave) have visited over 100 countries (currently on 102 if you’re curious). 22 of them have been in our truck. We’ve been here in Turkey for 2.5months so far and every single interaction has been positive.

Almost without fail the first question is “do you need me to help you with anything?” Not in a “how can I get you out of here quickly” way but a genuine desire to help or share.

People try to flag us down from the roadside and offer us Chai, random people in the street come and give Isla balloons or sweets and they all have a smile.

We stopped at a water point to top up our tanks and after about 10mins a guy from the nearby house wandered over with fresh, warm pastries to give to Jess and Isla. Five minutes later we were in his house somehow gate crashing a family party, everyone budged up to make space, table settings were laid and we were having breakfast. Then as we left we were handed a bag of tomatoes and lemons from their garden.

Even this guy in the picture. We met him for all of about 5minutes, but he didn’t leave without ensuring we took a gift that he’d just dug out of his car…after we’d told him we didn’t need any help with anything.

We’re not wealthy, (the Sats aren’t stacking as high as we’d like!), but we turn up in our big blue truck and to the outside it seems like we have lots of money. In many ways compared to many of the local people we meet, we do. And yet they’re the ones thrusting gifts upon us. Sharing a little of what they have. No judgement, no desire for anything in return - in fact, they’re almost offended if you don’t take their hospitality, or try to offer them something in return. It’s just genuine human-to-human kindness. 🫶

One world. One people. One love.

🎶 Hello comfey my old friend, it's good to be with you again. 🎶

i started using the Fediverse before it was called the Fediverse. back before Mastodon even existed, when there was just identica and diaspora.

i watched it go from a tiny place for fringe linux nerds, hackers, and artists, to a place for disgruintled corporate journalists and WokeScolds with 15 million daily users.

steady growth was minimal. The major growth happened from mass influxes. Usually from a negative facebook or twitter event, or some famous person talking about the fediverse.

Then 90% of those new people would drop off, and go back to the corporate BS, leaving behind a small increase. Those cycles happened over and over again until there were 10+ million daily users.

I see something very similar happening to nostr. It is very familiar and natural. But it seems like some people have a Silicon Valley VC funded growth from 2012 paradigm of what success it. Nostr is probably not going to happen like that. They dont have a realistic paradigm of how open source, community developed protocols grow over time.

So they keep getting disappointed because their paradigm is unrealistic, and the hype growth they keep telling themselves will happen is really probably not going to. Or to put it another way, 'go fast and break things' is a luxury mentality afforded by VC capital. Go slow and fix things is how real, lasting, open protocols that are worth something develop.

What will happen with people is pretty simple.

Some will leave quietly, some will leave loudly, making sure to dump their disappointment on everyone before they go. But some will just keep rolling, noting, memeing, and building, a peice at a time, until something really unique, robust, and reliable has formed.

stay humble, stack sats, post notes.

“All intelligence is collective intelligence”

Working out is communicating with the intelligent hivemind of cells in your body. The things you do have a cause and effect on agential cell intelligence and the subsequent actions they pursue.

Is the singular “you” even a valid concept, since “you” is the result of mass cell coordination with no central operator. Maybe self is an illusion, an emergent result of trillion of worker cells.

What if we better understood this communication network. Lots to rethink about in this new framing. #biointelligence

I think I just unlocked open source tap-to-pay with ecash

The largest failure of society, is not composting OUR OWN shit, (ideally with biochar, ie charcoal) and adding that back to the land.
