It would be a good idea to list all the relays that are in physical locations as opposed to being “in the cloud”.
It may well be that 2024 will be the year of Nostr as the turmoil of geopolitics begins to roil.
It’s very impressive. I was even more impressed by the town at the base. The jungle rises up above it into the mists of the mountains, and the river runs through it like a grinding torrent.
Merry Christmas Nostriches. Have a good holiday season. Buckle up for 2024. I have a feeling that it's going to be a wild ride.
Merry Christmas all you Nostriches. I'm off to Orlando to meet with my entire brood. I might also get some work done on IProgrammer while I'm there.
I finished the first rough draft of part 2 of IProgrammer yesterday. This is the story, from my point of view, of the 1970s through the 2020s. The next part of the book is "The Future".
I finished AdventOfCode Day 11 this morning, and then warmed up the airplane and flew it around for awhile. Lovely day to fly.
That was a very long time ago. They interviewed me because they said some derogatory things about my work in an earlier podcast and got a bit of a backlash for it. It was all very cordial in the end. Clickbait was a thing, even back then.

> Did you listen to the StackOverflow podcast? They mention Bitcoin, StarCraft and even interview Uncle Bob. All 14 years ago. Very good podcast. Did I mention it is very interesting?

One day -- probably one day very soon -- a relay owner will be served with a subpoena to turn over all messages on that relay -- even deleted messages (We all know that "delete" does not mean erase). That will be an interesting day.

If your intent was to get me to exclude you from my feed, then you have succeeded. In future, when debating, you might want to avoid calling people names.

> Well that's just flat out false in every possible way. And who the hell are you to decide what something means to someone? What you are really saying is that I, and others like em, want to see Jews exterminated. You don't speak for any of us. Your ilk are the genocidal maniacs, not those of us who would just like to see Palestinians decide their own future without the cowardly IDF murdering people for no reason for decades. You sick fucks call it Mowing The Lawn if I am not mistaken. Justify that.

I was with except for your first clause and your last sentence. It's not a lie because the colloquial definition of antisemitism is anti-jew. Zionism is demonstrably not fascist. The state of Israel is a parliamentary democracy that includes jews, christians, muslims, arabs, and many other diverse peoples. That government displays none of the attributes of a fascist state. I therefore conclude that your use of the term "fascism" is in the more modern sense meaning: "Anything I don't like."

> It's a lie, Zionism is a political ideology, an ideology can't be Semitic, the majority of Jews and Zionists are Ashkenaz from northern Europe, so they're not Semitic. You can pass misleading laws that will never change the truth. Zionism is fascism!

Anti-zionism, at this stage of history, is equivalent to a genocide of the Jews because if the anti-zionists were to win, then millions of Jews would be governed by an ideology that was dedicated to their destruction.
But that's beside the point. The real issue is that people use the term anti-zionism to hide their anti-semitism. IMHO.

> How is being opposed to an ideology the same as being opposed to a group of people? Not all Jews are Zionists and not all Zionists are Jews. Assuming you are anti-nazi, that must mean you are against ALL white people by your logic

That's a bit of a strawman.

All true. However, the colloquial definition of antisemitism is anti-jew.

Anti-zionism is anti-semitism.
Good Morning Nostr Creatures.
My wife and I have retired to our Northern Hideaway for the next few days. The weather up here is surprisingly pleasant. So I'm spending my time solving AdventOfCode2023, working on IProgrammer, and doing a little cold-weather bike riding.
