you never heard of trepanation before?

auth response, i mean

i guess i'm gonna have to add one more point where it asks if it's not already authed for this problem, when i looked at my code i realised it wasn't enforcing any policy on event upload!

and then it isn't authing.

and i'm getting some weird socket error too, about the message not being valid UTF-8 when it receives the auth challenge

i just had my local LLM presume to instruct me on changes i made in the codebase for reasons it clearly did not grasp, in the commit comment box.

the prompt was pretty clear, do i need to tell this qwen model to also not play at being my manager?

i didn't want to have to complicate my code by handling the "challenge on arbitrary request trigger" so i just make it send the auth request if auth is required, before it even starts handling received messages.

according to NIP-42 spec this should be respected.

nostr:npub1syjmjy0dp62dhccq3g97fr87tngvpvzey08llyt6ul58m2zqpzps9wf6wl are you aware that #jumble doesn't auth when the relay sends an auth challenge on connect?

i don't think you thought through what a user copying their nsec and pasting it in looks like. they might not think of it and start the screen record first before copying it. oopsie.

no idea how that is gonna happen without AI, which means the AI saw it also.

fun fact

linkedin now by default spams you with all kinds of promotional and begging emails and which ever category you can unsubscribe to them but it won't let you manage your other email preferences without KYC

just, absolutely, fuck linkedin.

i'm pretty sure someone is going to sue them for harassment over this. if i had too much money, i would do it myself.

"so i was talking to the bar bitch at the club..."

they should have just implemented schnorr signatures anyway. that's finally been done, but not without us suffering from abuse of the witness discount.

also, don't publish the screen record without redacting the nsec

you misspelled peabrain(s)

and i'm not splitting hairs by challenging the use of the word intrinsic. intrinsic properties of things do not, by definition, have example because they are not compared against something else. in fact, ironically, most of the things that have intrinsics are intangibles.

bitcoin does have intrinsic properties: it's intangible, it's basically imposible to counterfeit. supply stuff is an inherent property that depends on nobody successfully persuading over half of the miners to adopt a new emission rate, so it's an inherent property that its supply is fixed (it's simply improbable anyone would achieve such a thing).

intrinsics are qualities not quantities determined by market supply and demand.

intrinsic means something that comes from within something.

there is also the other word "inherent" which is similar but different , in that it acquires this property from something outside of itself.

first of all, the correct term would be "inherent value"

second, no commodity has inherent value without mentioning where it gets that value from.

what bitcoin's inherent value is that its supply is fixed, it is intangible (much easier to carry a 24 word key that could contain anywhere up to hypothetically 21 million bitcoin units), its ownership cannot be contested without the owner proving they own the coin by signing a message with the key, so possession can be verified - see Craig Wright's endless attempts to claim ownership of Satoshi's coins, and unlike gold, which is geographically limited in its location to mine it, anyone with an internet connection, electricity and a bitcoin miner can participate in securing it against malicious corruption of the ledger and be rewarded for it, thus production of bitcoin is far more fungible than gold. and not to forget, the base cost of participating in mining is far lower than the cost of establishing a gold mining operation.

it is much harder to hide gold, much harder to transport it, and its supply increase is substantially greater, and unlike proving you control the address the ledger shows has a specific amount of bitcoin in it, you can pass off bars of gold that actually are primarily composed of tungsten. and lastly, most of the gold is already owned by central banks, who might decide to dump the gold on the market if it increases in value, to liquidate their debts. and even, it can be that governments forbid you from searching for it, like they do in bulgaria, where some of the oldest discovered examples of gold were found dating back some 6000 years (in Varna), but if cops see you walking around the place with a metal detector you could get arrested and fined. a bitcoin miner is less detectable than a weed farm.

owned

is that a tactikilt? haha i love that stuff. my mother's main family line comes from up there.

of course i don't mean that but maybe the fact that jerks don't come here much you forget that they exist. keeping them out of your feed is not censorship, any more than it is censorship to choose to watch CNN instead of Fox or what the fuck ever.

what makes nostr censorship resistant is that the protocol is light and multiple relays can replicate each other and anyone with minimal skills can set them up and idk anyway what you define as censorship resistance if you don't think it has something to do with also not having to read bullshit from jerks.

what you gonna do dickwad? cry to mummy?

your mother is a whore

also, is it censorship to stop trolls and spammers from polluting people's feeds? this is something that can be more challenging. at least until most clients finally started supporting auth it was a big problem.

the main reason we aren't overrun by them here is because there isn't enough stupid people to fleece. a large percentage of nostr users are nostr developers. the attack surface is very different from conventional networks.

it entirely depends on how you use relays, like almost everything about nostr, there is ways to achieve different goals with different configurations. most other protocols lock you into patterns, nostr doesn't do this.

they get their power *through* the suffering they cause, and the effects are pervasive, and in all of it, is violence and moral decay. most of all, what they want is for everyone to be in the pit like them. they inflict it on their children, perpetuating the mindset of exploitation, and all the children, teens and adults that they abuse for their own amusement and power cravings.

they are also retarding the development of the species, destroying the education of young people, starving research and development that would increase productivity and the common wealth.

they are a disease, and hopefully the cure is coming soon.

you need a cat

my cat wants snuggles so much it's annoying. but adorable. so i entertain it most of the time except sometimes when i don't want to get up yet.

optimization is the most fun part of programming, once you wrap your head around how to use the profiler.

i totally nailed some nasty memory and CPU utilization problems in some new code i added to my relay today and it's so smooth now

i use brave, which is the same, but less spooky

they don't? no, i think there is at least ways to use a signer like #citrine tho, never tried though. that's the main thing you need

probably past disagreements

john obviously doesn't understand this:

lol wtf

yeah, i would just expand the point about interest, interest on full reserve loans is not usury. the whole construct of issuing currrency through lending is usury, as the lender is not making any kind of genuine sacrifice.

also it should be pointed out also that the principles of Equity law, a system of law practiced by the early monarchs of britain (prior to 1000AD) is completely based on understanding the Law that was described by Jesus. one of the more famous maxims of equity is "sacrifice is the measure of credibility". this is why full reserve lending is a good thing, and why fiat currency is a bad thing. the issuers of the currency have an asymmetric advantage being able to issue money more or less at will, whereas in a hard currency system, lenders can not risk bad debts and will charge higher rates of interest depending on how much control they get in the contract - investors, for example, can have a contract where they get a vote that is in proportion with their stake on important decisions of an enterprise.

fiat currency destroys the balance and creates a never-ending boom-bust cycle created by the nepotism and favoritism of people in the money printing clud and those who are not.

stearic acid, in particular, is very important because it is a precursor for a hormone that signals satiety. this is why the carnivore people talk about it so much. i have several times experienced after eating about 600g a day for a couple of days, that for a whole day i don't feel hungry.

this fatty acid also is found in cacao butter, so you can get some of this without eating meat, though there is loads of other good things in the beef that help in other ways. stearic acid is a commonly used pill coating material, it's a hard waxy substance that gives chocolate its rigidity and brittleness.

what the fuck am i watching here?

unlike you, i understand how solid state diode materials work, and they most definitely function on a basis of subatomic particle action, mainly electrons and the valve-like effect on electron flow that enables high resistance in one direction, and low resistance in the other. these are the basis of silicon based semiconductors and the literal decision gates of computer chips.

and yes, their operation is based on quantum physics theory. you can actually replicate the same function with more large, slower things like vacuum tubes using pins and spheres to create asymmetry of conductivity but the whole thing about semiconductors is how small you can make them, and that they require much lower voltages.

doesn't have to scale much bigger than an immediate family and friends tho.

as the uncle jim gets more experienced the failure recovery will improve as well.

alby hub and NWC are the two i use for this. i don't have to manage the server and its backups and uptime, but i can move funds onchain and into lightning and zap into my xapo account with very little time and very little cost.

alby has features to enable someone to provide access to a lightning wallet without them having to trust someone they don't know. this uncle jim functionality is the way forward, as i see it. one person with moderate skill at lightning/onchain bitcoin can now facilitate maybe as much as dozens of other people's lightning wallet use.

i'm not sure how long it has been since i stopped using soap and shampoo in the shower. maybe 5 days

i honestly don't smell any different to before but i think i can say that my skin is less irritable than it was.

my showers are a lot shorter too, because all i do is spray with warm water and scrub with a shower scrubby thing on pretty much everywhere, and because there is no rinse phase, i'd guess it's about half the time.

i'm kinda amused that when i was doing a body piercing course back in 2006 that the teacher basically said "cleaning is just about warm water and friction". she was so right about that.

soap screws up the microbiome on your skin, and wastes your time, and poisons the ground water.

if you never tried it before, i will credit Rev.Hodl for inspiring me - a second time - last week to try it out.

i'm curious for ideas about how to improve the hair cleaning process a bit, sorta seems like some kind of rubbery brush thing like the ones used on pets might be a good option for pushing the water through and smoothing the oils out more. the shower scrubby thing does an ok job though, but something that pushes through the gaps between the hair would probably be good, especially if it gives the scalp a bit of a rub.

damn, i didn't even notice this happened. wowser. maybe soon the demand for liquidating at this price will run out soon and we will be on the leg up

for now lol

ik begrijp een beetje nederlands

also, i do have a basic grasp of dutch. lived in amsterdam for about 3 years in total

there's this key on the keyboard, marked with an L shaped arrrow going down and pointing left.

try to use it when you move to a new concept

that router is cursed

weird animation on the liquid, and also, isn't that thing horribly hot to touch when there's a fresh brewed black in it?

yeah, i find when i ask junie to write code to change things it often just piles on more crap instead of changing stuff. very often i wind up rewriting parts of the code and if it fails to actually debug shit and make tests pass, after 3 times i just usually end up writing the code that was needed by hand. and then, of course, the tests pass because it was written the right way.

they can sometimes save a lot of work but sometimes make more work. learning how to avoid those potholes they fall into is a key part of making the work more efficient.

dude is a jerk

there was a remarkable number of important and true things they told him tho. i mean, barely synthetics had even appeared and they said "don't mix them with natural fibers." i remember my uncle, a redhead, lol, telling me about this rule in mormonism. from the fact that natural (especially protein based hairs) and synthetics generate static electricity i kinda grasped this idea it might not be wise. hard to avoid tho. personally i would prefer to only wear cotton, hemp, wool and leather. none of these have electrostatic friction effects in any combination.

i never looked deeply into it but i have a lingering urge to read the book of mormon. just because i already read two versions of enoch, two extended versions of genesis, and i've understood enough to know that there might be some gems in that book. i expect it to be mostly repetitive shit tho. i read the qur'an twice and it was extremely repetitive, and actually not that long a read. about, i think, 150 pages, so, a couple days read.

you are literally using a device that depends on correct theory of subatomic physics to operate. what do you think semiconductors are?

the earth is not demonstrably level. i live next to open ocean and i can see just looking up and across that the same kinds of clouds (which form at a typical altitude) are not visually lining up with the flat surface. i did art as a kid and learned about vanishing points with linear geometry and this is not what you see out there in the world.

in my opinion, if you believe flat earth, i can also say with certainty that you never lived long near the ocean. you can't back up this nonsense when you have seen the way that the clouds are far further up and curve downwards towards the horizon, and that's just one simple way of talking about it.

the ocean is the best debunking of this bullshit. you can even dig up references to movies where they literally show ships sinking below the horizon. where to? to the dragons? lol. gimme a break.

i don't have any further time to talk to you. you didn't do your homework.

exactly, you can't prove nuclear bombs exist. never been used in a battlefield except, supposedly, twice in japan, but look at the record around that. they are used liberally as political weapons tho. especially lately.

i'm not a FE dweeb. i know that all celestial objects have a spherical geometry that stems from the subatomic physics which i learned at age 15 in highschool physics (inverse square law, einstein's formula)

oh i did read Neuromancer twice too

and not to forget the hair! sheep being the best of course, even quite good when woven and retted for damp climates

i forgot the benefits of the hides of the animals as well. sheep is great for cold climates, goat is a good general purpose light leather, and cowhide is fantastic for heavy duty stuff.

they actually didn't bomb hiroshima and nagasaki nearly as bad as dresden.

also, actually there was no bomb. the story is full of holes you could drive an aircraft carrier through. it's pure propaganda, but maybe you remember me saying that.

saturation bombing is what they did. the ones they dropped on japan were a propaganda stunt that was politically expedient for both japan and USA because russia was about to show up to the party and they would have leveled the place even more than the americans already had.

the specific bombs they actually used had extra show features like magnesium flash but experts in bomb damage saw it and said "huh, if this bomb was different why does the damage look the same as everywhere else?"

i have one for usbc<-DP be careful when you are looking, it has to be bidirectional or DP->usbc or it's useless, the other kind are for laptops with usbc/DP connections where your display only has BP and not USBC. also, if your display has USBC, you need to make sure you get the faster kind, i think it requires at least 20gbit, maybe 40
