I recently fell down the home mining rabbit hole. Have you seen schnitzel's videos here? https://www.youtube.com/@nakamotoheatingsolutions/videos
this website was helpful for me: https://www.lightningnode.info/. also make sure that you know how to recover in case something goes wrong: https://www.lightningnode.info/recovery/lndrecovery
i made that change before but then recently switched to calyx. i've enjoyed it so far
i think nostr is the right place. i'm interested in switching to an open source thermostat
been on nostr for a minute and somehow I'm just now discovering nostr:npub1ymt2j3n8tesrlr0yhaheem6yyqmmwrr7actslurw6annls6vnrcslapxnz account. wtf
randomly saw some posts a little while ago, really funny
A love letter.
About 25 years ago, the Internet was really, really cool. It was a cradle of ideas. Any kid could play around, remix, and create things... and it might turn out to be a big success.
But then gradually, some boxes started to appear. Friendster and Orkut had a whole universe of information just for those who had an account. Years later, Facebook did the same thing.
Now, there's no grassroots innovation. Good luck to a little kid trying to create something new. No one will see it. Everyone spends all their time on Big Tech apps. To have a chance on the internet today, you need venture capital and spend years burning millions in the red. A bizarre economic model from the fiat world.
Look at the average person. They spend a lot of time online doing what? WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Zoom, TikTok. They really BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE INTERNET!!!
And then they go to sleep to repeat the same thing the next day.
The average user doesn't realize that these are CLOSED apps. You can't do anything creative/interesting in them except follow the exact commands that the overlords have set by architecture for THEIR interests.
(Go on, click like! React to this rage bait, fight among yourselves, stay as long as possible in the app to swallow as many ads as possible)
Nostr makes the internet fun again. Anyone can take the protocol and invent whatever they want.
Think it's silly that certain influencers are "recommended" by the client? You don't have to use that client. There's another Nostr client that doesn't keep pushing suggestions of who to follow.
Annoyed that your feed has a lot of memes? Make a fork and set a rule that you don't want to see Notes that are purely a URL (which indicates someone sharing an image).
THE WORLD IS YOURS
Thank you
nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 - who gave us this gift
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s - who is brave and ethical fighting Apple App Store crazy demands and resisting shitcoinery offers on daily basis
nostr:npub1wyuh3scfgzqmxn709a2fzuemps389rxnk7nfgege6s847zze3tuqfl87ez - I love your client
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m - who did a valuable POWER-UP that made the whole difference
nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm - such powerful tool and at the same time encouraging all users to go through the learning curve and fly by themselves eventually with their own wings/server (just loved reading your interaction with nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev and how you encourage us to plug our nodes at a given point but keep using the extension)
and all community members who are here participating in this glorious moment after two decades of proprietary Internet darkness. You guys are awesome! This is a love letter to the difference you all make ❤️
I remember how the internet was back then. Nostr is a breath of fresh air that reminds me of those days
I use it by pasting code into it and asking the LLM questions about it (e.g., what does this code do, what are other alternatives, why is this approach better, what are the tradeoffs, etc.). I keep asking it more questions whenever I don't understand something. I ask it to improve my code. It's not perfect but after using it awhile, you become accustomed to how to ask questions to get more useful answers and figuring out what kind of questions it can't answer.
You could install strfry, and then run a strfry stream and/or sync for your pubkey against another relay that you regularly post to.

I'm looking to start contributing to something, and this is a really interesting idea. Can you point me to the relevant part of damus codebase to look at?

This was epic nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z
Thanks for having me on the show and letting me show the world how all of us can earn KYC free sats while showering 😉 https://fountain.fm/episode/gYlgyNuYudVw9KU1qFuG
That was an amazing episode. I too have a screwdriver and youtube, just need to work on the fear part
