the two requests you made last night were really simple to implement for me tho, more efficient to have me do it because i'm expert in the codebase.

but i will be super stoked to have someone else taking care of some of the work.🧡

nostr:npub1syjmjy0dp62dhccq3g97fr87tngvpvzey08llyt6ul58m2zqpzps9wf6wl thanks for adding a search box to the emoji react popup. :fire:

i do eventually want to complete indra as well. having a fully open, fully decentralized alternative to Tor would be amazing. screwing the spooks of their surveillance access is probably my highest ambition in life.

now that i know how to do NWC stuff, i even have the main solution for how to implement lightning parts of indra, at least, user keysend payments to open ephemeral micro accounts for anon proxy relay service.

towards the end of my time working on it, i also came up with schemes for working around the reliability problem of source routed onion packets, by making them fork and join across the network. so, it totally is a complete scheme for doing it. i tried to get a grant from spiral for it also, btw, they weren't interested. but maybe in the future i will get to the task, i can see it happening in a few years time even just by me stacking hard enough that i can stop the fiat mining and build on it. or even, maybe, if i can build up a RaaS business, just need a bit of client dev to create messaging, discussion, calendaring and document storage applications. so, obviously, you would understand then how i see gitcitadel in the picture.

idk if he'll ever reappear, poor guy has a bit of a problem with paranoia, but my friend who sponsored me to develop indra expressed the desire to build nostr relay tech as well, especially personal relay type stuff.

would be cool if he did pop up again, i'm sure he's still lurking

welcome to the team!

having users is one of my wishes, having collaborators is probably above that in priority.

plus, anyway, i have got a new job that is going to involve a lot of front end and AI agent development, so i will have to dial back my level of work on #orly

i'm gonna finish building this zap-to-subscribe and "only visible to you" kind 1 messages feature in the next few days and then i'm pivoting to learning to do typescript/react dev for the job. that will be starting up in about 3 weeks time, and i want to hit the ground running.

nostr will always be a black box for surveillance. Amen!

ah yes, that's the easy solution, local only and configure it with your nsec so it can auth to remote relays as you. then it can read and write to your relay list when they have auth required.

that's probably something you can actually feasibly do without having to step outside of the confines of the nostr protocol too.

i definitely want that PR merged if you make it!

if the changes you make fit with the existing code, do please PR them back :)

the problem of proxying auth to paid relays tho, as i mentioned, probably the best solution for that is a http proxy interceptor that captures auth messages destined for outside and then once it has an authed socket it can fetch on that channel as well.

it's complex stuff tho, advanced network programming. i totally want this too, have done for at least a year now, but it's complicated to implement. same with the thing you are saying about internet connection monitoring. this requires some glue into system services like network connection lists and a ping/bandwidth monitoring tool to dial back the activity when it disconnects or is on a thin/metered connection.

whatever you manage to do tho, if you think it can fit with the existing repo, PR it back when you have it working, and i'll merge up ASAP.

i'm not an ambitious man, but i guess i could say that i want orly to be the new strfry. and then, ideally, to have a whole business model around using this tech so that i can pay devs to improve and maintain it and build out auxilliary services. that would be rad. low key.

i have also thought about this "relay as proxy" idea as well, but the limitations of nip-42 auth make it difficult.

but if you added a HTTP proxy to orly, and configure your client apps to use the http proxy, then it can intercept requests to itself, ok, fine, but then your client can auth to remotes, and then orly takes over and can then publish to them with auth enabled.

this is a bit of a complicated, advanced feature. part of the reason why i haven't done it is because HTTP proxy auth methods are pretty weak and i wouldn't trust that on a remote server.

but it could be done.

extending nip-42 auth and nip-01 req/event methods could also fix this problem by enabling relays to issue an auth token that can be used in place of the regular auth flow, and then the relay can proxy these queries, cache the results and then forward them back to you.

there is multiple ways to solve this problem but the first version with http proxy interception is probably the most practical right now.

also, regardless of whether crimes are legalised by these laws they are still crimes, and the offenders are going to HAYELLL!!!!!1

i've actually literally seen this happening, not messaging or typing about a subject, but phones in the room, talking about something, and then mysteriously google starts pushing that shit

it's extremely fucking hostile behaviour, and so easily brushed off as paranoid delusion. but i know i didn't publish any such reference at the time and then it was appearing in advertising. i don't think they have even come close to admitting it except in their brags that "we know what you are going to do" made by Sergey Brin about 5 years ago.

yeah, that's how they know. buried in the google software is a voice recognition engine, and it always has access to the microphone.

incredible they are writing clauses in laws to specifically protect israel. doesn't seem suspicious at all.

in my opinion, this special treatment of israel is a hint that the real control nexus of the US federal government is not israel but the mostly jewish aristocracy of britain, which hints at the idea that the "Empire of the USA" is actually just a cloak for the empire of the european jewish aristocracy oligarchs.

because, when you look at the whole picture, the entire scheme of china and russia as the enemy is really about keeping all of eurasia from connecting with each other, and mounting an effective defense against the monopolization of trade by the (singular) sea-faring power of the anglosphere.

so what i'm saying:

"jewish" royal families and financiers of europe control the UK, USA, the Commonwealth nations, and via USA they control israel and EU, and EU controls most of africa.

for which reason also, china and russia are heavily involved in wresting that power of the access to the resources of africa away from them, as well as opening a continental (world island) trade network that cuts them out of the transport part of the business. oh yeah, and also why saudi arabia, egypt, iran, are aligning with them, because they all have a common interest in cutting these thallasocrats out of their economies, because their costs and interference in the politics of the entire connected continent of eurasia and africa are onerous to the people.

the thalassocratic "jewish" imperialists also are ensuring that african governments stay corrupt as well. you almost never hear about the color revolutions in africa, they paint the picture that it's all just retarded "primitive" african behaviour. no, that's been promulgated deliberately to maintain control.

and when i say "jewish" in quotes i mean, fucking Canaanites. Wandering Jews. The fucking seed of the Nephilim. the ones who established the first historical empires on the shores of the Red Sea, going back about 10000 years ago after the end of the Dryas period.

just had a random thought too... when users post events referring to other events, if the reposted event entities have relay hints, the relay could fetch the referred to event as well... unless it is on the owners mute lists. this would end the "event not found" message if you were using a client that doesn't parse that entity and fetch it for you.

probably not very important tho. but it would be a nice feature.

#ORLY relay is all about privacy, personal, community/association and business relay use cases. the spidering stuff is more about the first two use cases tho.

well, the tit-cutting, hysterectomy and prosthetic penis attaching women are another story again, but i was just referring to the pregnancy thing.

now, back to your regularly scheduled programming of NWC subscription by zap implementation

i just made a small change, if directory is on, but second degree is off, it still does a fetch of *directory* events for second degree (otherwise guest users would not see their profiles and lists, and whitelisted users would not have these important events available for their follows)

i implemented the two features, you'll see it on the issues.

- can now configure the spider frequency

- can now restrict the non-ACL event spidering to only go first degree (ie, you can spider everything but just from your first degree follows)

- "directory" only spidering now also includes "guest" mute lists (guest = follows of follows), just for completeness so when they use the relay they get this list. most annoying to have it disappear or be unavailable.

now available on v0.4.11

this is woke language about the fantasy of males being pregnant.

we all know that they are just lazy asses that don't do any exercise on their abs or are psychotic delusional cult drone pedophiles. or both.

that would be most welcome :)

yeah it is kinda cool but i have 10k users in my second degree follow graph and there's too much rubbish in there so i turned it off. but that feature you requested, to only fetch the owner's follow events, will fix that.

which is why i'm implementing it tomorrow.

would be awesome to do a benchmark... test how fast the relays swallow a trove of events and then how fast it searches a variety of filters on the event trove that has been uploaded.

but i'm kinda too busy with feature creep right now haha. but i'm pretty sure it is extremely responsive and fast at delivering and accepting events.

that's very cool. i discovered this same thing, the trigger was Phillipians 4:6-7, which explains prayer. the only thing i would add to your insight into this is that it helps to ask the questions out loud, obviously, in privacy (i think those verses mention that?).

the most startling result i got one time, standing in front of this farmhouse on the side of a crazy italian road outside of bologna, the voice told me to wait here just a minute. then a lady shows up and feeds me and sends me off with a bag full of food that kept me fed for the next day.

i'm always having "losing things and then getting stuck trying to search it but then somehow never going back to get them where i left them" dreams. most common theme of dreams in the last few years for me.

i think that it may have something to do with having spent a lot of time homeless, and traveling with no money and scavenging, as well as a lot of the games i play are about looting stuff all the time haha. the game i'm playing most at the moment is survival mode on The Long Dark, and in that game, it's very easy to get distracted or lost or go down a one-way path and leave behind loads of useful gear for continuing to survive. it's sorta like my real life experiences of the past.

yeah, i used it before with the old name but idk just felt like i should just use the meme, i'm not entirely sure i like it cos i tend to pronounce it orly unless it's written ORLY

fuckin legend

he used to be a salty bastard and they made him be nicey nicey with some stupid policy shit for the linux project

i loved his rant against C++ and why he picked C for Git - to not have C++ programmers in the project :) because they are retarded.

there's a big difference between preferring your own kind to being aggressive towards other kinds.

without algorithms tuned to maximise drama people associate out of affinity so it's not censorship. it's what the people involved like,

he's not very charismatic. also he has buckled to the woke brigades in recent years which i don't like.

when it comes to programmers, the more popular and charismatic they are, generally the less competent.

being a droll, detail focused, boring geek with a cheeseball sense of humor is a feature, not a bug.

part of the reason why i rewrote so much of go-nostr #golang #nostr SDK was because of what i saw, but also i'd heard about fiatjaf's work with - nostr-tools i think it was. also subpar.

i think these libraries are now adequate but they caused all kinds of problems for client devs over the last 18 months that i was watching. this is also why hodlbod made his libraries and same with hzrd149

the thing that is interesting and i always consider to be a red flag. the more hype around a dev, the less likely they are to be fastidious and diligent. we don't want rockstars for devs, they should be the most irritatingly dry, serious people you can find.

a method that might actually work, is if you figure out gravity and put a computer in an extreme high gravity environment so its clock is ticking thousands of times faster. then you can shorten the bruteforce process. but that's about it. but i think that making gravity near zero would be far more interesting and productive.

yeah, i consider it to be impossible also. mainstream physics is still holding to dark matter bullshit and ignoring the mounting evidence of electromagnetic forces being the source, also.

i think there is some crazy stuff going on in physics but they sure as fuck are off the reservation, and the red flag for me is how much they hype it in the media, and idiots like shitcoiners thinking that "quantum resistant" cryptography makes a shitcoin better. i tend to assume that if stupid people believe something, it's wrong.

i've always had an instinct to distrust people that are popular, because people seem to be generally gullible and credulous, in fact i tend to be conservative in this same way about technology. i refused to use go modules for a year after they came out, then i caved and it was good, but still was buggy. i refused to use LLMs because all i ever saw from people using it was garbage, but then i caved, tried a few, and found that my preferred IDE had one that seemed like it was actually better than any others i'd heard of.

people who set trends tend to promote things that are still barely late alpha, so my instinct about not trusting them continues to be validated over and over again. i mean, i took 3 years to catch on to bitcoin. i was early at some things, like Tor.

jack needs to read some Mises. the way that he threw his weight behind Carvalho's idiotic BIP proves he doesn't get it.

all money starts as a store of value. medium of exchange follows if enough people adopt it.

it wasn't even really that long ago that coins became a major thing, about 2500 years in the early days of the roman empire

empires always try to take control of issuance and then debase it if they can. i think that's a more important thing about bitcoin than its use as a payment instrument. it stops being a store of value if it is debased, which rugs the payment usage. famous quote from Lenin about exactly this as a part of communist demoralization of the economy to institute central control of production.

i treat the LLM as a junior, because it makes mistakes at least as much as a junior, maybe more. but i also treat it as a teacher, because it can learn fast from other stuff that i watch it and go "ohhhh right, that's how it works" and bing new lightbulb lights up

my mother always used to have issues with it. i suspect she had a mild gluten allergy that messed up her digestion. probably zinc is a slow to absorb mineral. stress also makes hair shed more often as well.

i'd pay 2 euro for a proper fresh ground Lavazza Oro maybe. so smooth.

i kinda like IKEA except i'm not a fan of their laminated coated cardboard coffee tables at all. but then i gotta say they are probably less toxic than fibre board, and tend to be more waterproof.

i'm pretty sure microsoft is the winner for this competition. the number of people who laughed when the american general shoots bill gates in the first South Park movie...

ah, definitely should only be 800 sats then. last year i used to get them for EUR 0.5 at my local snack-bar and restaurant and grocery store.

i prefer chinesa these days when i get coffee out. straight shots of espresso upset my gut after the second one.

just like people have been saying for decades, now coming from an official that they never stopped the CIA program to manipulate people

in actual fact, 90% of the media in the USA, movies, music and news, are all completely manipulated by their operation.

probably about half of what people are calling "conspiracy theory", a term invented by the CIA, is actually true, and the other half is counterintelligence, from the more low-key stuff they are doing in the underground to smear the legit research with manufactured bullshit.

yeah, my G51 is a cheap moto too and it can do HDR on the back but not the front.

HDR kinda requires multiple sensors to work in any reasonable situation doing selfies, so it can concurrrently capture multiple exposures.

even still, i did HDRs with my mother's Canon EOS with a tripod back in the day using multiple shot bracketed exposure setting. takes about 10 seconds in total. but the images are legit HDR after they get processed

most phone camera HDR range is narrow compared to what you can do with a pro camera

i was wondering why your notes weren't showing up on realy.mleku.dev - non-outbox clients

yeah, it was more scary for the fact i was alone. i really went to town on the supplies also, made sure i'd never be wondering what to do about it.

it happens so infrequently that it's easy to be complacent, and that experience told me it could be deadly, if i'd not stopped the bleeding and lost consciousness, nobody was coming.

in fact, as a kid i got a lot of mild lacerations, sometimes quite severe, from skateboarding. i never did anything about it, except if it wouldn't stop bleeding. healed up just fine in a few days and then itchy and scabs fall off.

i wouldn't advise this in general, really you should always wash a bleeding wound thoroughly, and apply disinfectant, and seal it up and bandage over it. plastic is actually better, doesn't stick to the blood, but after giving myself a good minor vein cut last year i always keep bandages, band-aids and gauze and antiseptic cream in the house. on that occasion i had to rip up a shirt and use plastic while i went to pick up those supplies. it was pretty bad, i was starting to go into shock from the blood loss.

so i make it a rule now. in fact i really should make a small pack for my backpack when i go on big walks. just haven't really been fit enough to tackle the terrain here, most places i ever lived were not nearly as rugged.

10 minutes, and then do it again, 20, then again 40, then 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280, which then goes into the days

LLM systems probably will put an end to the giant downloads, first by using LLM generation for textures and then eventually to models and movement

good news about the interstellar object

it's starting to develop a comet tail
