PoW is just for the money tho. the fact that almost none of the shitcoins have survived the likes of NiceHash and similar proves that there can only be one PoW, just as there can only be one base layer for bearer asset money.

WoT is not everything though. you also need small, private, semi-closed nodes across the network for communication, sometimes fully closed. i completely disagree that you can have fully open at all though. some people are still trying to run relays that don't put limits on use but it's something even Sisyphus would laugh at you for trying.

Auth. not just authentication (proof of control of the secret), AUTHENTICATION. asymmetric cryptography has three prongs to its utility: authenticating messages, authenticating connections (ie nip-42) and ECDH for secure secret negotiation without needing a one-time-pad.

1. authentication of users (to enable subscription access to relays)

2. authentication of messages (to prevent impersonation)

3. shared secret negotiation protocols (to prevent wiretapping and man in the middle attacks)

and then further down the stack there is IP blocking (only useful for short term mitigations against DoS attacks), rate limiting (when you can't block by IPs) but both of these measures are downstream of those three above.

let me just repeat again:

i would hope that someone like you, Gigi, would know of Bitmessage. and if not, what i just said is the reason why. it has not created any benefit for nostr's security either. even if people tried to seriously use it for security, this would just create an opportunity for people to make a lot of money selling elliptic curve acceleration devices to lower the cost for better funded attackers (especially states) to completely destroy any denial of service mitigation utility from common users whose CPUs don't have these modular multiplication accelerators (and i can assure you, if people are stupid enough to try to seriously use it, they will become a product on the market).

and no, quantum is not a serious threat, not at least for another 40 years, assuming that the theory behind the quantum bit is even correct (which it probably isn't, because it assumes that the perturbation is uniform across all spacetime, which is a wild assumption if you ask me).

yeah, if i was gonna live anywhere in america it would be wyoming or colorado, up high, dry, and mostly little creeks everywhere.

i was living about half a mile from the crashing ocean waves and about 600ft altitude before, now i'm at about 1400ft, better, but it's still so humid here in summer. i need to get back to the mountains... i miss the thin clear air above 3000ft

oh, also earthing sheet on my bed. w00t

gonna be putting a full proper earth on a new set of wall sockets also. gonna use two solid copper rods on each end of the wiring and connect both earth wires from both circuits together so there is definitely a working earth everywhere in the circuit. these old power systems, omg so dangerous.

i made an earth connection, about 1m long steel pipe, fluted it on the down end and bared all the steel on the top to put a wire around it and down the bottom about a foot of bared metal, currently making sure that the ground it's been staked into is nice and damp.

previously, there was 240V, it felt like, coming through my pc's case, and from the earth jackets of my USB devices. now, it's all nice, so i can also find where i put my under-desk earthing mat and be fully isolated

IOMMU is the secret sauce

yeah, i'm pretty sure KVM can do it, even partition GPU resources exactly how you want it to.

i think containerised GPU access is now fully a thing. not just for graphics too, if you stick a really meaty GPU in there it could run coding agents and such as well.

she means using nostr as a transport in place of ssh or http

contextvm could cover that side and make use of the relay as middleman

using nostr event subscriptions instead of webhooks would be pretty neat. you could have a relay feed for the gitea or whatever instance that could update real time so you can just open the tab and see the latest activity.

nostr could also handle stuff like issue boards, kanban and other planning boards, and even collab document editors like gdocs but markdown/asciidoc and the extensions (for diagrams etc), there could be a slack-style threaded chat, the whole shebang. it fits perfectly with the requirements for an organisation dev suite.

so, today's new thing was learning how to work with react query. i still don't understand exactly all the code i ended up writing but whatever. it will be fixed tomorrow.

with that query done, the display component will work and voila. first issue done and dusted. should be tomorrow. hopefully i will get to asking why some visual masking effect isn't applying on the component i made also, so it's consistent, it's the only thing remaining other than getting the list of items to display.

just substitute "masturbation" and you have an orgy

i've heard word salad like this so many times from shitcoin projects. with a straight face. after a while i started to realise what utter bunk it is.

shitcoins are not immutable. ethereum has forked probably at least once a year since it was started in 2014.

putting some arbitrary number on bitcoin means nothing. so what. you could put it in big letters on a sign in front of the whitehouse, it would mean just as much.

marxism is an operational philosophy of parasitism, that's a good way of describing it.

this here is the tool i need to finish https://github.com/indra-labs/indranet

it would enable me to mock up a fake indranet network and keysend to fake nodes to create accounts and then debug the actual network transport protocol i wrote.

it's double awesome because actually the indranet nodes would probably be a hybrid, somewhat cut-down version of LND, most likely, and just having the mocks to test it would speed up completing it so much.

it would also make it easier for me to experiment with routing path finding as well, i had ideas of making it so clients could send individual packets on different paths every single packet taking a different route, and also the idea of forking and joining paths in the middle, using shamir's secret shares to break apart blocks of data so they only need two of three parallel paths to get the message through

report=repo

Bureaucratic is what it is. The right way is you clone and fork then they check yours and add you to push permission on your own branches. And you just add the remote, push the branch and you are on the team. I would never contribute more than once by PR. Poor diddums can't operate the report permissions settings?

The stairs aren't that long. T his ol thing is parked in the garage at the start of road.

Ok, it is stairs. Just for walking.

A tiny little chapel in the ribeira below my place. Google says there is a walking path back up to the road to my place. I suspect it's actually a road.

My hungries for having a dual drive regen brakes 100km range scooter with Enduro tread wheels just went to 11 on a scale of 1-10

https://github.com/mleku/reverse is a nice, simple reverse proxy. Combined with a wireguard tunnel you can host test apps with letsencrypt TLS certs. Chrome browsers are a huge pan with http

Yeah that's why I don't bother mostly. I made a one line fix to relayer a few weeks back, but it was easy so fiatjaf merged it.

Honestly I hate the way other people architect and not document their code. I would add contributors and merge their stuff promptly. Why should I tolerate what I don't do to others?

merge requests are what most other git repo sites do, so you have to be granted write access (though not to other people's branches or master) and join to become a contributor.

IMO the whole PR thing is unfriendly. why would the devs of the repo not want you to be contributing, if, you know, you are, you know, contributing.

low key it's just a way for them to slack off about it. i made several PRs to btcd and lnd and they just kept on merging other people's PRs which meant i had to refactor my branch three times, on the LND one, after the third time i was like, "FUCK YOU ROASBEEF"

if you have access to the repo itself it's just a Merge Request. Pull is when the branch comes from a fork.

yay, progressing further with the paid gig.

got the header loading an actual image from the data the page is made for, and figured out how to adapt the existing username display to become a link to the username.

but then i am stuck because nobody already wrote a query to fetch all the data of the things the page relates to, so i am having a little session with the lead dev later today to learn how to write such a query.

once that query is done and it's showing the things from the query i will be MVP on my first task, only polishes needed after that.

in the meantime i gotta go to the shop that actually has an EFT terminal to get some catfood and some nicknacks. not gonna take the bike for this one - went that way one time but the path includes a descent and climb of about 100m altitude and it's only about 6km total so i can get there an back in about 3 hours, which leaves exactly enough time for me to get back and do this training session.

i am starting to see why they felt confident that i would be able to actually do this work. in a few weeks time i'm gonna know my way around NDK and maybe start to scratch around at writing something.

i might make a relay admin/user dashboard for ORLY, if all goes well by that time i will have the base of ORLY redone. i think i would like to do what i was starting to do earlier with the HTTP API stuff and shift all these features to optional modules and have them hot-configure instead of being baked in. stuff like the ACL, managing the lists of the ACL (probably move away from using simple follow/mute lists) and so on - abstract the ACL into an interface. then it will be quite simple to make or maybe use NIP-86 event stuff and adapt the NWC client code that nostr:npub1acr7ycax3t7ne8xzt0kfhh33cfd5z4h8z3ntk00erpd7zxlqzy3qrn2tqw made to create a full user subscription console. in addition to the "only seen by you" event tagging and in those events from the relay, give the users the direct links to the subscription management dashboard, which will have extension/bunker login. not sure what other things i might want to put in there but for now, just to make it into a user friendly interface.

i have aspirations to be the dev who builds the relay infra for the paid gig, and we really need to have things in place to stop griefers and spammers from fucking around with our app.

i lost about half of my 20s and 30s to people like this. the other half i lost to the australian government, which is a gang of them.

you can just ship it!

wait. what? desktop version?

i'm working with react at my paid gig at the moment. i weep at the objects and the nonatuplicate copying of the same info in several different places, the utter disregard for any kind of simple, readable syntax, and waiting 10 minutes for the IDE to finally index all the symbols in the source code.

if this was Go there would be no duplication, the indexing would take 10 seconds and there would be no such thing as "something went wrong". and it wouldn't be stupid error codes like C, it would be informative strings. potentially they could even have source locations.

javascript ninjas have no idea how dangerous their language system is. but then, nobody seems to care, and tehy build KYC systems with it and then wonder how it all ends up on the dark web a year later.

i had one of those times in late 2021 when i finally researched cult manipulation techniques and realised that every single person around me was riding me. except one. i literally packed up and disappeared overnight and never talked to them again. none of them.

and i will never let people like that back into my life, either.

you will reflect on their past behaviour and start to realise they were playing you. i recommend taking a bit of a read of some info about psychological manipulation techniques and how to recognise and name what they are doing.

getting away from these kinds of people is worth losing almost everything. they are just gonna drain you of even more in the long run.

youll be able to get it for christmas probably then

nostr:npub1syjmjy0dp62dhccq3g97fr87tngvpvzey08llyt6ul58m2zqpzps9wf6wl is this nearly black/black background scheme new? looks new to my eyes. i like it. subtle.

you already know bash and ssh tho right? what about systemd? wireguard is easy, just search github for angristan

in canada they murder sick people also. of course, they would never admit their laws enabled poisoners to make the people sick in the first place. show me one candidate who doesn't legalise crime and i'll vote for them. op. ok, i'm gonna stay home and try not to pay attention to what's going on so much.

so it only works *as* a webserver not *in* one :)

who even makes web apps that aren't themselves webservers anymore anyway?

er, i misread what it was.

though maybe the webserver can run the app since it is a javascript thingy. probably not, idk, might be some voodoo you can do with it to bundle it up, like the old days with webpack.

jetbrains junie is a lot better. but i still have yet to observe a series of performances from it better than 50% getting it right.

my advice about LLM coding agents is give them small specific tasks. they will cock it up more than a junior would, although they cock it up faster. after you watch it go wrong twice you just roll up your sleeves and start writing the thing it couldn't understand.

my biggest complaint is they are utterly incapable of architecture. my guess is that it would take mega-context (typical coding agents have around 20-50k context) to actually get that shit right. the agents can be improved more too, i think if the agent had a proper process for taking a whole mess and boiling it down over and over again until it comes up with an architecture diagram of the mess you want it to fix, but it probably would take at least all day on a moderately simple thing like a relay.

yeah, i also kick into gear as soon as i start to understand what is required. often i just put off learning that part for ages even though i want to do the thing. programming web UIs is like that for me, i kinda needed someone to drag me into it, i have the understanding of programming in general but never got to the lightbulb moment with it in many attempts before. and i don't expect to get that for some time yet, but i can still understand the structure bit by bit until then, and be productive.

mmm should be bitchX

private equity is ok, public equity is a scam

that was just a guess it was wireguard. https://search.brave.com/search?q=wireguard+udp&source=desktop&conversation=6aea02d872b7fd5286fdd0&summary=1

it is possible that they were not blocking UDP and it generally uses random high ports.

wireguard is awesome btw. i use it all the time.

haha, who cares anyway. they don't have reels.

yeah, also probably because it was more likely they would post videos of violence too

ya gotta love these retarded laws that literally infringe human rights of travel and earning income

jack is spook-wing. they change their side of focus as a part of the strategy of tension, also, fuck communism, fuck fascism, fuck government, and fuck you.

yeah, fuck jack, seriously. he's done this half-arsed kiss-and-make-up bullshit that just doesn't wash with me. AS IF he didn't know. probably half the bans were against bitcoin twitter users. he's a fucking liar, and i'm quite sure he's handled by spooks.

practically speaking, nobody gets a platform in the mainstream media without the assent of the spook media program. they say they ended project mockingbird, which was attacking other countries' media, but the evidence is clear that they run hollywood, they run the cable tv networks, they run all of the major internet services.

nostr is the first real counter to this since proper open social media died with the birth of facebook in 2004 or whenever it was. it's really disturbing how much they have warped the minds of the public.

which is also why damus gets so much funding even though most mobile users are on amethyst.

mostly because of jackoff the apple fan.

auth gated could work also, ultimately whoever is trusted can leak anyway. the URL won't be guessable if it's made with a hash.

i meant this image

cody is the best nostr client dev
