Had a lot of fun giving my “Intro to Nodes” presentation at the AZ Bitcoin Network meetup on Tuesday. Hopefully I converted a pleb or two into a node runner. I put a link to the PowerPoint below. My notes are in the comments section.

Good evening, today’s #OpenSourceDaily is https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs PixiJS is a 2D HTML5 rendering engine with WebGL support. It is written in typescript under the MIT license. It can be used to create cross platform interactive graphics and games. There are loads of tutorials available along with well written docs. It can be installed with npm or loaded as a script from their CDN. The API is intuitive for beginners yet versatile with advanced features for power users.
Good afternoon, todays #OpenSourceDaily project is https://github.com/git/git git is a version control system written in C under the GNU General Public license V2. Most people probably know about git because it has supercharged the open source movement. It focuses on developer productivity with features like branching, stashing, merging and distributed publishing to different remotes. The cli has a bit of a learning curve for new developers but it is very powerful and extensible. Before git was popular lots of version control systems would enforce things like locking a file so that only one developer could check it out at a time. This would absolutely wreak havoc on productivity by forcing you to wait for somebody to check in the file you needed to update.
Officially that is their mandate but unofficially it’s the S&P500. They won’t pivot until it’s below 3200. That will likely coincide with higher unemployment but its 6 of one half dozen of the other. That’s also why it’s so dumb to buy stocks in anticipation of a pivot. By definition you are going to make less money than if you just wait for the pivot. Or at least wait for the larger drawdown first
Yeah the pot is now starting to boil from all the rate hikes from last year. I’d say another year maybe two of this and well get SHTF.
That is not gonna end well. It needs to accelerate otherwise the whole thing collapses.
Yes! We have needed this badly for a while now
I was just thinking about this. Eventually your website will be verified by your nostr not the other way around. Openstimestamps can solve the fake history problem
You should look at it. If the strategic reserve can’t go negative (valid assumption?) it looks like about a year and a half from now something will break. Could it cause a massive increase in energy prices just in time for the halving?
I reluctantly added NIP-05 verification to prevent getting blocked by relays. Spammers are going to bypass that pretty easily. So what’s next? A whitelist for “trusted” nip-05 domains? 🤦♂️
This might be the scariest chart right now. What happens when that trend line breaks?

Good afternoon, today’s #OpenSourceDaily project is https://github.com/coder/code-server code-server allows you to run a full IDE on your remote server and access it with a browser. The experience effectively feels like you are doing development locally. The installation is secure by default and the docs provide instructions for different ways to access remotely. The IDE is vscode with full support for extensions and debugging. You can use this to save battery life on your laptop while at the same time leveraging the resources of a powerful server. This could also be useful if you aren’t able to open ports for ssh but can still forward http traffic.
That’s true but you still need to update periodically. Nothing will save you from running a 3 year old version of software with multiple CVEs
That too, also plex is not open source
This note is a reminder to update your software
Yeah I think at least a year of actual experience would be ideal. It does feel like high time preference behavior. It’s so easy to become dependent on and it introduces subtle bugs if you aren’t super careful.
Yikes 😬. If you were teaching somebody to code, how long would you make them wait before letting them use an AI?
Right, some nips will be controversial or not even compatible with other nips
The nostr protocol as defined in the nips repo seems to be fast and loose with little thought given when adding things. Very different from Bitcoin. It’s already messy and going to get worse. Not all clients will be fully compatible and the nips repo will probably fork a lot.
Good Morning, todays #OpenSourceDaily project is https://github.com/nextcloud/server
Nextcloud is a self hosted cloud storage platform written in PHP under the AGPL-3.0 license. It can act as a self sovereign replacement for Google cloud drive or iCloud Drive. This gives you the benefit of privacy and full control over your own data. It is simple to setup if you have a server and has a full suite of features including multi user support, file synchronization, desktop and mobile clients, file sharing, and an extensive third party app store. This was originally forked from the Owncloud project but they have significantly diverged since then and Nextcloud seems to be more widely supported.
Good evening, today’s #OpenSourceDaily project is https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript Typescript is a programming language that is a superset of JavaScript. It’s written in Typescript and licensed under the Apache-2.0 license. If you have ever worked with JavaScript you probably have a love/hate relationship. Typescript introduces syntax that allows developers to add optional types to their JavaScript. This gives the benefits of a statically typed language familiar to server side programmers to the language of the web. Depending on the compiler configuration these setting can be strict or lose. The type system is exceptionally powerful and expressive with concepts like union types, mapped types, conditional types, indexed types and many more. I know it took a while to really catch on, but does anyone seriously use plain JavaScript anymore?
