Easiest way to not see garbage on the internet is to not download images and media.
You're welcome.
I'm on a strict bandwidth budget right now and to achieve minimal usage, I'm learning about how to do some old school shit.

I may get addicted to this because the pages come up way faster.
This isn't the olden days of dreamweaver and tables full of fixed sized images. CSS is still coming down and can practically replace images for most stuff. Theoretically they could still be loading SVGs but I think they are not loading either.
Feeling some nostalgia rn, really liking it.
I think more about Atlantis than either of those things.
No, it wouldn't because the identity would be based on the signature on the nonce, not the signature on the note.
I'm third generation of probably a very long line of refuseniks. My grandfather used to register his car in a different state to arbitrage this cost. My mother and father both did and do all kinds of things to avoid being robbed. Me, I've figured out what the game is here, and I'm telling you:
Every psychopath who steals your time, is part of their system.
Every psychopath you give no more time and attention to is denying their system of its life blood.
You have no power outside of refusing to give your time and energy to them.
Choosing bitcoin is consequential to this, not causative.
Why is it that the Richat Structure is the only such example of its kind on our whole planet?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richat_Structure
The article tries to say that it's a "highly eroded" geological dome.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dome_(geology)
There are several other examples of other types of domes, but not one that is formed out of a volcano.
Not. Even. One. Other
Doesn't that seem a little weird?
Consider the scenario. We have a volcano. For some millennia, it spews basalt.
Then a bloop of more silicaceous stuff appears, and it spews a bunch of hard orange terracotta stuff. Ok, it's mostly iron, I'm just describing it so you can understand it. Terracotta is iron rich aluminosilicates. Red sand.
Then later, it starts spewing some more basalt. (black, this contains a lot of black iron oxides, as opposed to the yellow and red of previous phases).
Again, some terracotta.
Ok, so what next? Oh yes, this looks like :Cobalt. Ok, it starts spewing a bit of cobalt.
Then suddenly it's cobalt and nickel.
Looking at the colours, there seems no other logic to how this thing could have formed. I'm seriously wondering how in the hell such a thing could happen at all. It's not just unlikely, it's cracking a 128 bit password by brute force with all the computers in the world for a million years unlikely.
Firstly, our planet's core does not contain very much nickel and cobalt. Just look at the geology of almost every volcanic region on the planet, they are everywhere.
Most nickel found on earth is associated with meteorites. The metal was first discovered by the Chinese. It, cobalt and iron are the main "ferromagnetic" metals. That is, they can hold a magnetic alignment permanently.
.
The structure is clearly not natural, at least, not the flattening part. The materials are not uniformly dense or uniformly chemically, or mechanically soft.
It may well be that if you took an old volcano, and cut off the entire top of it, you could get something like this. But you couldn't do that with modern technology without an INCREDIBLE amount of energy and worn cutting devices. Or gigatons of TNT, used in thousands and thousands of careful explosions.
There needs to be a new type of Nostr note that signs a nonce with the same key every time but each new note is published with a new key.
The current arrangement is bad cryptographic security. Read BIP 340.
There needs to be a note type for "switch to new npub to continue following this npub, kthxbye".
I'm considering making a new key, just for a laff.
It is also bad cryptographic practise to use EC keys for more than one message anyhow. Read BIP 340.
Something that is happening rn that reminds me how feeble the internet really is, is that I have burned through 200gb of data on my Vodafone mobile internet tourist plan.
Until I organise something else, my max download speed is 150kb/s, though probably it goes faster at night when everyone isn't watching 4k youtube videos on their 5" mobile phones.
I wish the world had trains like Bulgaria. It's a cultural thing, clearly, even the neighbours are fucking it up and they aren't even in the EU (serbia). Serbia used to be cool like Bulgaria. Bulgarians are clearly superior because they refuse to change things that work.
local first
number one mistake of the internet rn is substituting remote for local.
check what relays you are sending them to.
I don't leave tabs open in my browser any more.
Control-W, Control-W, Control-W. Ah, it's gone. Time to get back to work.
I disagree. The problem is giving your time and energy to psychopaths. Everything else flows from that.
I don't think the smartphones have any impact on the aliens.
We are just in a phase like the olden days of mainframes and dumb terminals. This led to the personal computer and the floppy disk.
Number one clue that we are going to see a massive electromagnetic event in the near future is that everything needs to be rewritten. The software is such a mess. Web browsers were not meant to be user interfaces, but rather, libraries.
When things go this wrong, they always have to crash.
What becomes full must empty out. What is empty can become full.
I remember the days before the internet.
They were a lot more peaceful.
I am not saying that the connection isn't a good thing, rather, that we should still store all our data locally, and not depend on the wires to give us everything, or when they inevitably fail, we will have nothing.
