When you unintentionally create a Streisand Effect for VPNs and Nostr

Opinion: biological taxonomy should mostly be done in databases, rather than papers.

What an authoritarian nightmare we're living and I wish I could say that I was surprised by how disappointing the generals publics response is 😩

I have a small watch collection. Nothing fancy. But collected as Father's day gifts over two decades. So more of sentimental value then anything else.

I think one of them is bad luck. And the one I wore today, is that one.

Silk Road was one of my first AI generated pictures a year ago

Why do people insist on being rude to maintainers of free and open source software? 🤦‍♂️

Proper shampoo and conditioner containers open from the bottom now. That way when they get low, the product pools near the opening while it is sitting there and still comes out easily, rather than the user having to struggle like a fool to get the remaining product out of a container with the opening on the top and the product pooled on the bottom.

So the fact that the vast majority of containers still open from the top seems idiotic to me. Why don’t they all open from the bottom, ever since someone figured out the right way to do this?

Anyway, I save these types of important posts for Nostr.

Someone say Sunday gunday?

Proton has 1 free vpn with a free email.

• Biden just asked Congress for $24,000,000,000 MORE for Ukraine

• Maui victims will get $700 each

• Population of Maui = ~180,000

$24B = $130,000 for EACH Maui resident...

We've sent ~$80 Billion to Ukraine so far... I'll let you do the math.

They do not give AF about us. They see and treat us like cattle. We are there to be milked for their pockets, the entire extent to which they care is based on how much it effects the yield they get from us. They toss back JUST enough pennies to stop a revolt, otherwise sowing hate and division to keep us angry at each other so they can spend all their time robbing us blind.

1. Can you reach the relay through another Tor client? For instance, on Linux and Windows:

$ curl -x socks5h://127.0.0.1:9150 -H "Content-type: text/json+nostr" -Lv RELAY_URL

(on windows, make that `curl.exe` instead.)

If you get a response, good! Onward. If you don't, make sure that:

- You have a hidden service configured in torrc.

- Your hidden service points to your relay.

- Is it using HTTP or HTTPS? Depending on what, it is either ws: or wss: respectively - the additional "s" means "secure". Think of it like copying the stray S from HTTPS.

2. Make sure your Nostr client uses tor.

Amethyst can do that on Android, and on other platforms, just use the Tor browser, or link your standard browser to use the Tor proxy. Only then can you also access tor relays, respectively.

What makes someone stay on nostr?
