dang, that formatting got butchered pasting from Signal 😅

Maybe #nostrhelp #asknostr has some insight on what’s happening here 🤔

This is how it pasted

so turns out I somehow accidentally installed startOS on my 500 GB NVMe drive instead of the 4 TB external SSD I intended to use for this node 🤦‍♀️

I swore I chose that external SSD during setup, but I must have made a mistake somewhere (maybe how I formatted/prepped the SSD)

Anyway, I ended up straight up removing the internal drive from the laptop I’m using so startOS had no other option but to use the external drive, now I should be spinning up a FULL un-pruned node!

time to go back to waiting for it to sync ⏳🕰️⌚️⏲️⏰

I’ll always be fond of looking back on this journey, I’m so fucking excited and this thread really captures that!

rip 😭

back to the beginning again

Night Derek! Still learning a lot about nostr but you’re always on my radar helping people learn new things! Thank you for what you do 🫶🏼

What are the best Tor browser apps for iOS?

Looking to access my node when I’m away 🙌🏼

You’d get along with nostr:npub1xnad2fz00h5yfswfuqq7yum76glna2tvak3wyrfyr4r0aevzfutqqlz5lt 🏄‍♂️ 📸

Welcome to nostr!

Definitely checking this out! Thanks for sharing

The TikTok algorithm is indeed magical (which I can say from experience). It is by far the most user interest-aligned platform of any I have ever experienced and I say that as someone who was in high school when facebook was created and has used every social media app since then enough to understand its strengths and weaknesses as a platform.

That said, most of these platforms are designed to be addictive to users to feed the ad-based revenue model so while there is a lot to learn with respect to creating a more engaging and welcoming user experience, it’s important to keep lessons learned in mind and not make similar mistakes at the expense of users

There is definitely room for improvement here on nostr, but as long as we are having these conversations and continuously building in response I think we are headed in the right direction 🧡

Thank you for communicating this! I think this is exactly what we should be talking about and how we could contribute to growing the platform

I’m quite new to software development, but the most amazing part about open source software to me is that anyone CAN manifest ideas like this into reality

Even for those of us still learning or who’s skills don’t lie in engineering, having and promoting conversations like this is important work

What plant has he got there? 🌱

Exactly! Very well put 🧡

If we want our IRL communities, people we care about, and newcomers in general to embrace something so new to them as nostr likely is, those of us actively building here (which is pretty much all of us at this point simply by using the protocol) can benefit from a welcoming and inclusive mindset

I think providing feedback about how we can improve something important to us is far from “bitching”

It’s a signal for change, and as the signal is amplified it can reach those with a passion and skill set to implement said change

In my opinion we shouldn’t discourage sharing these signals on the protocol

For context, this is my FIRST NODE 🥳

I’M ONLINE 🤩

I’m looking on X right now, not seeing confirmation yet 🤔

Ahh! Yes we must! I didn’t know what you meant at first

I think that would be cool! I’ll pitch it to the group

Ooo I could check that out, I didn’t know there was a movie 🍿

I see it now, yeah just missed it in excitement I think 😊
