how long did that "30 mins" turn into?

what makes something freedom tech? i don't think anyone will call mastodon freedom tech, so what is unique about nostr and bitcoin, and potentially others?

Neither do I, but people call me an incel if I brag about it

i feel like even the identity and signing key in nostr should have been two different things

One of the strangest philosophical idea that i have come across in recent times is by Philipp Mainlander: God created the universe in order to die.

Essentially, the universe itself is the corpse of God. Mainlander also killed himself the day he received the first copies of his book, so he kinda practised what he preached

I remember when we used to use the thumbs up to mean "you can't do shit" as children, then with the Internet came YouTube and Hollywood movies and the meaning changed to approval/agreement, and then social media changed it again to mean something passive aggressive for younger kids

This gesture on the coin is supposed to represent something from bharatanatyam if I am not wrong, I wonder if it ever meant "one" in some parts of India at any point

has anyone meditated for a long time and taken psychedelics as well? what was the difference?

i just use codebuff.com and ask it to do things for me, pretty simple. a lot of non bitcoin dev projects don't need much.

then i use claude for understanding existing codebases, by copy pasting the output of `$ tree src/` or individual files, or for fixing small bugs like missed curly braces etc

Unfortunately no. ente.io is great if you only want to store photos, but collaboration + privacy is a rare combo to see. I have started to work on something of my own, but haven't made much progress yet

It's ugly but very practical. But they should decouple the frontend from the backend, and give users direct access to their private keys like nsecs or as 12 word seed phrases. Otherwise the different instances aren't interoperable with each other. Also, without decoupling the client and server, you are forced to keep using their web implementation, which is not ideal for most privacy conscious people. Another thing is, they aren't very pro-bitcoin, so the paid instances only accept traditional fiat payments which is terrible for privacy.

Another thing is it's a product, not a protocol. So creating another compatible implementation is not going to be very easy, and forking the mostly JavaScript code is not going to be easy either

trying to create a self hostable end to end encrypted google drive alternative, not going too great, but still hopeful

i have to keep switching between calling claude a good boy and a retard every other day for it to keep working well, so it's understandable

linguistics, psychedelics, jungian psychology, fully reusable rockets, the history of assam

i have been thinking about some of these things for more than a decade now

The biggest challenge was not screaming Bitcoin every few seconds while talking about nostr and freedom tech

Reticulum is great and I wish more nostriches would take a look at it.

I have seen many people wonder if nostr can truly be decentralized if the underlying IP based Internet depends on ICANN and other central orgs. Reticulum offers a very elegant solution
