● The term "injection" has several distinct meanings in computer science:

*1. Security Vulnerabilities (Code Injection)*

Malicious input that gets executed as code:

- SQL Injection: Inserting SQL commands through user input to manipulate databases

- Command Injection: Inserting shell commands through application input

- XSS (Cross-Site Scripting): Injecting JavaScript into web pages viewed by others

- LDAP/XML/Header Injection: Similar attacks targeting other interpreters

2. Dependency Injection (DI)

A design pattern where dependencies are provided to objects rather than created internally:

// Without DI - tightly coupled

class UserService {

private db = new Database(); // creates its own dependency

}

// With DI - loosely coupled

class UserService {

constructor(private db: Database) {} // dependency injected

}

This is fundamental to Angular (which this project uses), Spring, and other frameworks.

3. Script/Code Injection (Legitimate)

Intentionally inserting code into a process or page:

- Browser extension content scripts: Injecting scripts into web pages (as this project does with plebian-signer-extension.ts)

- DLL injection: Loading libraries into running processes

- Hooking/Patching: Modifying program behavior at runtime

*4. Fault Injection*

Deliberately introducing errors to test system resilience and error handling.

*5. Packet Injection*

Inserting crafted network packets into a data stream (used in network testing and attacks).

yellowcake is not sulphur

Composition[edit]

Early yellowcake compositions were not well characterized. As late as 1970, the U.S. Bureau of Mines defined yellowcake simply as the final precipitate from the milling process, presumed to be ammonium diuranate or sodium diuranate. The actual composition varies significantly based on leaching agents and precipitation conditions. Identified compounds in yellowcake include uranyl hydroxide, uranyl sulfate, sodium para-uranate, and uranyl peroxide, along with various uranium oxides. Contemporary yellowcake typically consists of 70% to 90% triuranium octoxide (U3O8) by weight, with other oxides such as uranium dioxide (UO2) and uranium trioxide (UO3) also present.[4]

ideally, it should be 10 people per unit, then you can form a group of 50 people who each are assigned to one of them, at a suitable location that is unlikely to be submerged more than about 100m, and voila. the formula for Ben Davidson's plans for surviving a pole shift are all ready.

so, i mentioned in a discussion thread about geodesic domes and an idea i have had for a while, involves creating a full spherical structure that can be buried under the ground, has a full helical screw based classic 3 layer spring-based metal water seal, and in the lower section, has a valve system that can be set to push or pull water into it to create balance so it stays mostly upright like how it works in ships, with a bilge pump that can push water out from any leakage to maintain the air in the upper part (combined with a large compressed air cylinder), and underneath, tethered by heavy chain to a very large block of cement that acts as a tether so it can be fully immersed, and maintain safe dry part above, similar to how it is done in submarines for controlling flotation depth. the other part was using the classic "truncated icosohedron" aka "buckyball" with a screw-based tensioning system at 5 points in the structure to create tensegrity that resists compression by spreading the force across the whole sphere.

here's claude's summary of the concept and explanation of how it works. turns out it is a bit similar to existing tsunami survival shelters:

-----

Your Hybrid Geodesic Tensegrity Structure Concept

You're describing a remarkably ambitious multi-function structure:

1. Buried earth shelter (withstands soil loading)

2. Sealed pressure vessel (watertight lower section)

3. Ballast-controlled flotation device (submarine-style buoyancy)

4. Moored vessel (anchored but can float when needed)

5. Self-righting submersible (can surface after complete immersion)

Structural Form: Truncated Icosahedron

The football pattern (12 pentagons, 20 hexagons, 60 vertices) is ideal because:

- Distributes stress evenly in all directions

- Natural for both compression (soil loading) and external pressure (submersion)

- The two polar pentagons become your screw-cap access points

Tensegrity with Cables Through Pipes

Using https://tensegritywiki.com/index.php?title=Tent of running cables through hollow struts provides:

- Hidden turnbuckle mechanisms for tension adjustment inside tube ends

- Protection of tension members from soil, water, and debris

- Ability to use the cable network to pre-stress the structure for both soil loading from above and hydrostatic pressure from submersion

The double-layer tensegrity approach (inner and outer cable shells with struts between) would be particularly appropriate here, as it creates a thicker structural envelope that can handle multi-directional loading.

---

Buried Earth Shelter Considerations

According to https://www.structuralbasics.com/earth-pressure-calculation/, your dome must handle:

- Vertical soil load: Several feet of earth = significant downward pressure

- Lateral earth pressure: Increases linearly with depth (behaves like hydrostatic pressure)

- Groundwater pressure: If the water table rises, additional hydrostatic loading

The geodesic dome's ability to distribute loads evenly makes it suitable for this. https://www.motherearthnews.com/green-homes/underground-homes-geodesic-domes-zmaz78mazjma successful buried geodesic structures, and https://www.monolithic.org/domes are explicitly rated for underground and underwater construction.

Key advantage: When buried, the dome is in compression from all sides - the strongest loading condition for this geometry.

---

Ballast Tank & Buoyancy Control

Your concept mirrors submarine engineering. According to https://www.navalunderseamuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Ballast-and-Buoyancy.pdf:

- Main ballast tanks: Control diving/surfacing (your lower sealed section)

- Trim tanks: Adjust attitude to maintain vertical orientation

- Depth control tanks: Fine buoyancy adjustments

https://oceanbuilders.com/blog/variable-buoyancy-and-ballast-for-floating-pods-and-other-structures/ uses exactly what you describe: fiberglass water tanks with pumps that add/remove water to control height and level.

Your bottom pentagon cap would incorporate:

- Intake valve (flood to descend/add ballast)

- Pump outlet (bilge to ascend/reduce ballast)

- Threaded pressure-rated seal

---

Screw-Thread Pentagon Caps

For pressure vessel end caps, https://www.eng-tips.com/threads/asme-code-for-pressure-vessel-caps.472046/ recommend:

- Threaded caps with O-ring or gasket sealing (not threads alone)

- Ellipsoidal or torispherical heads for smooth stress transition

- At high pressures, the cap design resembles "a bolt with a much wider head"

https://www.seascapesubsea.com/product/watertight-enclosure-end-caps-domes-and-flange-caps-2-3-4/ use:

- Anodized aluminum flange caps with dual radial O-rings

- Anti-rotation features

- M10 threaded holes for cable/valve penetrators

- Ratings to 950m depth

Your pentagon caps could be machined with internal threads matching external threads on the dome's polar pentagon frames, with multiple O-ring grooves.

---

Mooring Systems

For your dual anchoring approach:

Helical Screw Anchors into Rock

https://www.foundationtechnologies.com/products/applications/mooring/ provide:

- 4-5x the holding strength of alternatives

- ~100 lb anchor can deliver 20,000+ lbs holding force

- For solid rock: drill a hole with hydraulic sinker drill, use expanding rock anchors

Chain & Weight Anchor System

https://marineconstructionmagazine.com/article/mooring-systems-and-floating-docks/ use:

- Heavy chain or cable rode

- Dead weight or mushroom anchor as backup

- Elastic/flexible tether sections to absorb shock loads

Key: Use a https://seaflex.com/products/seaflex-mooring-system/ that can handle 35m+ water level variation - your tether must allow the structure to rise from buried position to floating while remaining anchored.

---

Existing Analogues

Several products validate your concept:

1. http://survival-capsule.com/Products.html (Seattle): Aircraft-aluminum spheres, watertight, can be tethered or free-floating, onboard oxygen for submersion, 2-10 person capacity

2. https://www.tajima-motor.com/safeplus/shelter/e/: FRP floating tsunami shelter, self-righting, survives 10m/s impacts and 3m water drops

3. https://canada.constructconnect.com/dcn/news/technology/2016/03/floating-concrete-bunkers-key-to-tsunami-survival-1014407w: Precast concrete modules, sealed watertight, self-righting with controlled buoyancy, endorsed by Tsunami Society International

4. https://newatlas.com/tsunami-proof-shelter-backyard/31355/: DIY 22-foot plywood/epoxy capsule built in a backyard

---

Design Considerations for Your Specific Concept

Challenges unique to your buried-then-floating approach:

1. Breakaway from soil: When floodwaters wash out the soil, the structure must cleanly separate - consider smooth exterior, sacrificial soil barrier, or designed failure points in soil contact

2. Transition loading: Structure goes from compression (buried) to tension on tethers (floating) - the tensegrity cable system must handle both

3. Valve design: Bottom intake valve must handle:

- Soil/debris infiltration prevention when buried

- Reliable operation after years of dormancy

- Both gravity-fed intake and pump-driven discharge

4. Air supply: When submerged, you need either:

- Stored compressed air (like survival capsules)

- Snorkel system once at surface

- Your top cap design allowing air intake at "just barely submerged" position

5. Self-righting: With water ballast at bottom and air volume at top, you should naturally orient vertically, but ensure center of buoyancy is well above center of mass

---

This is a genuinely novel design concept. The closest existing products (tsunami capsules) assume free-floating deployment, not burial and controlled emergence. The tensegrity-through-pipes approach for a structure that must handle both burial compression and flotation tension is particularly interesting.

-----

additionally, i have the idea of using a convex tensegrity frame that underpins two levels of flooring, so the top is sleeping/refuge area, directly exposed to the pentagon cap above that is normally open for ventilation but can be sealed for submersion and when brought to buoyancy above so that the water level is below the opening, so once it is washed away, it can be carefully floated up until the center of gravity of the structure is below the surface, ensuring it maintains upright/horizontal alignment, and as the waters subside, it can then be brought carefully back down. probably needs folding supports that can be pulled outwards using cables so when the water is all gone, it has stability and pins itself into the mud, the weight of the ballast tank providing central orientation, and of course, rope ladders that can be thrown out from the top opening to climb down and out.

here is the notes about the additional tensegrity based flooring design:

-----

Interior Layout: Equatorial Floor Placement

Your truncated icosahedron has a natural "equator" - a ring of 10 hexagons around the middle. The floors positioned at the bottom and top of these equatorial hexagons create three distinct zones:

╱ Top Pentagon Cap (air intake) ╲

╱ ╲

│ Upper dome space (headroom) │

├────────────────────────────────────┤ ← Upper Floor (sleeping)

│ Living/workspace zone │

├────────────────────────────────────┤ ← Lower Floor (workshop/lab/kitchen)

│ Ballast chamber │

╲ ╱

╲ Bottom Pentagon Cap (valve) ╱

This places approximately 76" (per the https://www.sonostarhub.com/blogs/the-sonostar-r-d-lab/second-floor-in-a-geodesic-dome) of clear height in the main living zone between floors.

---

Tensegrity Floor Design: Convex/Upwardly Oriented

Your insight about making the floors slightly convex upward (domed toward the ceiling) is structurally elegant. This works via two complementary mechanisms:

1. Inverted Catenary Principle

According to https://lbcc.pressbooks.pub/structuraldesign/chapter/chapter-4-catenary-cables-and-arches-2/, a hanging chain naturally forms a catenary curve. Invert that curve and you get the optimal shape for compression - pure compressive stress with no bending moments.

Your convex floor acts as an inverted catenary membrane:

- Loads (people, furniture, equipment) push down

- The convex shape converts this into outward thrust at the perimeter

- The dome's rigid equatorial ring absorbs this thrust

- The floor remains in pure compression under load

2. Tensile Membrane Action

At the floor level, https://novumstructures.com/news_and_insights/what-is-a-cable-net-system-design-principles-real-world-use/ provide:

- Pre-tensioned cables forming a load-bearing mesh

- Nodes at cable intersections spreading loads evenly

- The dome's frame acts as the "anchoring frame" absorbing tension forces

The slight upward curvature means:

- Center of floor is above the perimeter attachment points

- Under load, the floor wants to flatten, which increases tension in cables

- This "self-stiffening" behavior prevents sagging or wobble

---

Floor Construction Options

Option A: Pure Cable Tensegrity Floor

Following https://tensologic.com/engineering/engineering-principles-of-tensegrity-structures/:

Compression struts (radial, angled slightly upward from perimeter to center)

│

├── Connected by tension cables (circumferential rings + diagonal bracing)

│

└── Deck panels rest on strut network

- Struts don't touch each other - suspended in cable network

- Pre-stressed during assembly for stiffness

- Self-equilibrating: automatically distributes stress across structure

- Advantage: If one element fails, loads redistribute rather than collapse

Option B: Cable Net with Rigid Deck

Similar to https://www.loftnets.com/en/65-guardrail-net:

- High-strength cable net (stainless steel or Dyneema)

- Pre-tensioned with turnbuckles at perimeter attachment

- Rigid deck panels (marine plywood, aluminum honeycomb, or composite) resting on net

- Net rated for 100+ kg/m² loading

Option C: Tensioned Membrane Floor

Using https://membranes.novumstructures.com/product-system/membrane-systems/:

- PTFE or reinforced fabric membrane stretched across frame

- Catenary cables in perimeter pockets

- Double-curved surface (your convex dome shape)

- More flexible/resilient - absorbs wave motion if floating

---

Attachment to Dome Structure

The floors anchor to the dome at the vertices of the equatorial hexagons. In your tensegrity dome:

1. Cable-through-pipe struts of the dome frame run to equatorial vertices

2. At each vertex, a hub node connects multiple struts

3. Floor cables/struts attach to these same hub nodes

4. Tension in floor cables adds to the dome's overall pre-stress

This creates structural integration - the floors aren't just sitting inside the dome, they're part of the tensegrity system, adding to overall rigidity.

---

Lower Floor: Special Considerations

The workshop/lab/kitchen floor above the ballast chamber has unique requirements:

Watertight Separation

- This floor must seal the ballast chamber from living space

- Consider a hybrid design: rigid sealed deck with tensegrity support structure below

- Deck hatches for access to ballast system maintenance

Weight Distribution with Variable Ballast

When ballast chamber fills/empties, the load on this floor changes:

- Empty: Floor spans open space, carries only its own weight + contents above

- Full: Water pressure pushes up against floor underside

The convex-upward shape handles both:

- Empty: Works as inverted catenary (compression to perimeter)

- Full: Water pressure adds upward force, reducing effective load

Bilge Pump Integration

- Pump mounting points on floor underside or ballast chamber walls

- Intake at lowest point of ballast chamber (bottom pentagon)

- Discharge routing through dome frame (could run through same pipes as tensegrity cables)

---

Upper Floor: Sleeping Level

The sleeping area floor benefits from:

Vibration Isolation

Tensegrity floors naturally dampen vibrations:

"Tensegrity structures are self-equilibrating and automatically distribute internal stresses across the structure. This allows them to adapt to varying loads without losing structural integrity." - https://www.engineeringmechanics.cz/pdf/21_5_355.pdf

Wave motion when floating would be absorbed rather than transmitted directly.

Thermal Separation

The air gap between floors provides insulation - critical when buried (ground is 55-57°F year-round according to https://www.motherearthnews.com/green-homes/underground-homes-geodesic-domes-zmaz78mazjma).

Emergency Egress

Upper floor positions sleeping area closest to top pentagon cap - shortest path to surface when structure floats up.

---

Load Path Summary

External loads (soil, water pressure, wave action)

↓

Dome shell (tensegrity struts in compression, cables in tension)

↓

Equatorial hub nodes

↓

Floor tensegrity systems (convex upward)

↓

Floor deck surfaces

↓

Interior loads (occupants, equipment, stored supplies)

All loads ultimately transfer to the dome's continuous tension network, which distributes stress throughout the entire structure. The https://www.ansys.com/blog/design-floating-structures-tensegrity notes that this self-distributing property is why tensegrity works well for floating structures with dynamic, unpredictable loading.

---

This floor system complements your overall design beautifully - it adds structural stiffness to the dome while creating usable horizontal surfaces, and the convex profile naturally handles the varying load conditions between buried, floating, and submerged states.

i want to build a dome-based house but differently to most designs, i want it to be a full sphere, using a base of steel pipe and a pair of different joiners (hex and penta) and then grid mesh over each face, except for the truncated hexagon of the center row (think like football grid with each being a hexagon/pentagon made of triangles) , the "ground" level is then a nice neat flat shape to put a giant doorway into, and the triangles at the top around the top pentagon (iirc, if i point one hexagon as our "front" then at the top is a pentagon, the top pentagon then becomes a vertically closable cap that can be dropped down to seal the whole structure up water tight, with screw bolts and spring-based metal multi-layer seals. the whole thing would then, with concrete, and multiple layers of hydroisolation, likely handle handle full immersion for ~1 week without significantly leaking, and a "plug" in the base that once the water starts to drain back down, the "plug" can be opened.

the lower half, also, would be water storage, so when it's used as a refuge, the majority of the stored water underneath is drained out in order that the whole structure potentially has buoyancy, as well as keeping it vertically oriented and if made of a suitable ratio of weight, would even float, and for good measure, below the structure under the "plug" opening to the down drain, it has a long, heavy chain, and an anchor, which will keep it from moving.

that's my ultimate space survival disaster earth-ship design. probably also, it would use tensegrity in the structure so that there is heavy springs holding cables linked through the steel pipes at the core of the structure, making it resistant to fracturing by distributing the tension from impact equally so there is no loss of symmetry.

complacence is a hell of a drug

hey, it's no skin off my nose. enjoy the auroras.

see, that's some amazingly coherent logic you have there. now you understand what a limited hangout means. oh, this guy said that, but he also said this, so that must be wrong because this was wrong.

if i had a computer in such circumstances i could build it from scratch, i've been working with the code of btcd and the protocol for years now.

if you were a genocide loving megalomaniac, and you had hard science on this happening, what would you do? definitely very important to smear anyone who starts to get close to the story. no, it's chemtrails, no it's haarp, no it's global warming.

people lived without power only 200 years ago, it's not that hard, but if you are unprepared and have no knowledge of how to do things the old way, you are planning to fail nasty.

even if we are lucky and it doesn't happen in our lifetime, long term being stuck somewhere there is no refrigeration, sanitation, water mains, or heating/cooling from electricity can happen to anyone. plenty of examples of this, some "true story" movies have been made about people who crash landed hundreds of miles from civilisation stuck in the middle of rainforest, or get shipwrecked.

modern society has inured people to comfort and ease, and nowhere near enough is being done. there should already be hundreds of large underground cities across the planet if people actually understood what a geomagnetic excursion is.

also, i hope i'm wrong but the bright lights in the sky so often in the last two years is a VERY bad sign of decreasing strength of the earth's magnetic shield.

if there was a solar flare like 1859 anytime soon we are going back to the stone age

nah, he was american, but he was studying at a belgian (flemish, northern) university at the time. and cryptography and security were his subjects. and he was known to be part of the cypherpunk mailing list, under his real identity.

anyway. meh. the superstition that has built up around bitcoin is starting to get tiring to me. i think it's important, and i use it all the time as money, but i don't have a lot of faith in the majority of software projects working with it, or the increasing financialisation and paperification that is going on. these people are obviously doing it wrong because otherwise, why is self custody still so rare? and why are so many of them building sidechains or bank integrations?

i'm more interested in stacking survival skills and good friends now than anything else. bitcoin is part of that but the people are much more important.

You should check out Cabeiri

you are talking about people who were engaging in incitement, and buying the cover story that it is about race or something. it's incitement. cut and dried.

the politics these days are just straight up psychological warfare, and most of it is coming from the left. they have lost their power and their subversion is going into overdrive. and on the other side, pulling strings, are the neocons, who are also racist cunts, who spend all their time writing screeds about why we should kill and rob all kinds of designated groups of people that have nothing to do with law and justice.

what's happened is that they have normalized this, for decades, and everyone just forgets to think and repeats what their favourite influencer says.

even that, the whole influencer thing, that's propaganda and a bunch more incitement. that laser guy, who is constantly spouting fascist Calvinist doctrines, he's inciting as well.

i don't engage in incitement. i just want to be left alone, and i would like it very much if people would start looking at the real issue instead of the cartoon version.

and yes, btw, i'm saying that it should be considered a misdemeanor to PUBLISH pornography. it's incitement to lust. this is detrimental to the social fabric.

i think it's fair to say that saying "death to the great satan" on social media while holding a visa and living in the country should be grounds for terminating the visa. to be fair, they get a free flight back home and life ban also

but if you enter illegally, you can burn down the neighbourhood in many blue cities. mental.

one of my favourite songs of all time, about depression

80wpm. Shift key on the weakest finger. Right now on amethyst and it does it automatic.

I've been in constant sleep deficit for about a month now. My mental state is one of constant alarm and trying to make sense of how to plan and act to end this.

I have to completely stop using caffeine, and realign my schedule to the sun because I'm not getting the sleep, and then not properly waking up.

I'm gonna stop using my computer on the weekend. The temptation to type long, complex and error ridden text, and crack open the claude cli to build bucket list software projects. The constant vigilance to keep prompting it to allow reading this or fetching that.

And on top of that, the events in space, the atmosphere, in the world, war, mass delusion and people who have been conditioned to believe absurdities.

And I'm trying to figure out how to not get caught in the mess going on in everyone's minds, down the road where population is much higher.

And fighting a mostly winning battle to recover kidney function, muscle strength and vision.

First mistake is the sleep. This is as much screen as I will do today. Ate a tasty breakfast and I'm gonna just force myself to lie down and catch up. Gotta sync wakeup with sunrise, and get out there halg an hour.

You don't want what I'm on. Mostly it's just stress, fatigue and lack of exercise. When I say I needed to cut caffeine - that is now one a day. Not anymore. At all.

lol, unbelievable how retarded australians are that they literally have the cobra effect and nobody cares? your 72% effective tax rate at work.

https://git.nostrdev.com/mleku/next.orly.dev/src/branch/main/docs/names.md

this is a novel consensus protocol that uses nostr relays for storage and rendezvous connections, to process name registrations (as in DNS names) and registration updates (mainly assigning them to new npubs).

just for the fuck of it i threw in a TLS replacement that uses nostr cryptography and the noise protocol instead of AES256 CBC/CFB types of encryption used in SSL, it's going to be using sha256, probably chacha20poly1305 as the cipher stream (although, to be fair, AES-NI is faster on most hardware if the compiler supports using it) CSPRNG, because hey, we can integrate ACME challenges into the protocol, so relays can verify bindings between a name and an IP address.

the consensus is based on one designed by lesterpig, the inventor of the "sporeDB" database replication protocol, which more recently he refined and upgraded to become "PnyxDB" named after the forum in Athens where democracy first happened.

it works by relay operators specifying their trust ranking of other relays that they do, or do not, particularly, want to replicate their version of the database, and based on the user assigned trust scores, and the trust scores assigned by those users towards other candidate new trtansactions, and it accepts them if they pass 50% trust and ignore them if they don't.

this creates what i'm going to refer to as a "lumpy consensus" that is fairly consistent between nodes but different enough that because it's fully peer-driven, subjective evaluations, the only attack on this consensus is a social one, so, there is no central lever in the consensus, it's less than 100% consistent, maybe it varies from 75-99% agreement on the consist of the database, but because to coordinate an attack on the consensus one has to recruit more than 50% of the relay operator population in order to beat the un-manipulated choices of the remainder, creates a lot of friction for attempts to compromise it.

this proposal completely covers every aspect, even ones you hadn't considered, such as the integration of acme challenges for verifying the server is controlled by someone who also controls the nsec of the registration. because it's a p2p network, the reason for integrating the connection encryption with it is that you can basically turn the network into letsencrypt, without the single point of failure. so there can't be a monopoly market in third party attestations, either, because the cost for robust attestations is trivial.

putting this at the OS level is just augmenting the DNS client in most OSs with a nostr client that reads and caches relevant data from the consensus, same way as a BIND9 client does. because the actual database is stored in a nostr relay, the name service client doesn't have to cache anything, it can just pick any random replica to query for name resolution requests. but you can also run a replica yourself, and always have an up to date database of all the registered names and never wait for the network to know where to connect.

i intend to build this thing in the near future. and i think that this, whether what i make catches on, or an improved version, is going to be 100% a thing on nostr within the next 12 months. we are going to most resolutely get the attention of the cabal rolling this technology out, though they aren't gonna figure it out until after it's already in the wild.

there may be small details and maybe my design isn't quite right to do the job fully yet but it's a likely good starting point, and once it exists, nostr can fully detach from the IANA namespace. so, please do read, and criticise the shit out of it, make counter-proposals and whatever else.

the sooner we can detach from the DNS and TLS cabals the better.

DNS is the main vulnerability in nostr right now. it depends heavily on it. if it could move that dependency INSIDE nostr that would be a phenomenal defense against compromise of the desirable properties of the protocol.

ok, i'm wrong about that. there are such things as column stores which use a different structure model than key/values

after a few questions drilling down to the point, this is what GPT gives me:

Short answer to your core question

Is a flat file of blobs addressable by SHA256 hash the best solution?

No, not as a single monolithic flat file.

But:

Content-addressable blobs by hash = excellent idea.

The best implementation in practice is usually:

Append-only segment files (or many files), with a hash → location index, and possibly hash-sharded directories or an embedded KV store.

This will:

Be faster and more scalable than a single flat file.

Be more efficient than a naive “one file per blob” once you hit large counts.

Play very nicely with your immutable tables.

storing events with an LSM like lmdb or badger and storing binary blobs with your regular ext4 filesystem (maybe f2fs is better for SSD) is actually the most efficient way to sort and fetch large blobs, not only that, as it points out, you need to partition the blob storage to have at least a small and then larger blob index because the more you...

you know, mix up small and big things in one storage system

the slower you can search it, especially for the small objects.

or in other words

just put a blossom server on it. regardless of anything else, base64 is 20% less efficient and that efficiency loss can't be amortized with compression. and such encoded forms also require decoding to actually pick through the content as well. simple blob files named after their hash and indexed in a table is the simplest, yet nearly most efficient way for nostr to be handling hosting blobs.

lol

i can tell that you have a strong grasp on the implementation requirements for a relational database or graph database. they ALL use KV stores under the hood.

the only way real world database engines tolerate this kind of structure without degrading iteration performance is partitioning the large data from the small. or you could just say, why would you store a jpeg in an event instead of the raw binary in a blossom record? it's trivial to just store them as files with the hash as filename, and the filesystem is already optimized for traversing the metadata to find it efficiently.

my personal definition of "normie" is precisely that.

usually it requires them to strongly believe in something that is bullshit that contradicts and interferes with them even asking the question.

curiosity is the first thing that the system has to bury to make a person normal.

it's fine for regular sized events, but it's going to take a big whack out of performance of the database finding small events when it has giant blobs randomly scattered through the kv log structures.

and it's trivial to add a blossom server to a relay, my relay already has one. in theory, supports all of the BUDs too. ah yes:

here's a reasonable starting point for implementing one in Go:

https://github.com/mleku/next.orly.dev/tree/main/pkg/blossom

everything involving ukraine has a conspiracy tied to it.

zelenskiy has got huge reputational issues now associated with his attempt to shut down the anticorruption agency and stop elections from being run. associated with conspiracies between him and his showbiz buddies.

that's the fallacy that marxism brainwashed people's belief that capitalism means modern liberal democratic state, and not organised crime.

did i say liberal democratic state? yeah, i meant organised crime. politics is organised crime, either they just declare they voted to rob you, or they borrow money as well as divert the tax income to robbing you more invisibly (bank inflation, privilege in borrowing money).

the irony is that the majority of people between the millionaire and billionaire range are honest and mustered a large group of people to do something productive.

the ones right at the top, the 0.1% or so, the soros and gates and schwabb and all the rest are criminals, and they aren't just ordinary criminals, they are megalomaniacs and their whole joy in life is watching people being tricked into throwing their lives away, and protecting the petty criminals who keep their herd nervous and pliable.

the marxist doctrines literally have people thinking that the market is a criminal enterprise ad the government is legitimate, when the opposite is true in 99.999% of cases on this planet. all of the governments are corrupted. all of the large institutions are controlled. the big churches, and all those companies that are being paid by what is essentially stolen AND blood money, like that gold the CIA stole from iraq.

randomly remembering i read somewhere someone discovered there was codes that could trigger something, maybe GPT-4? or something, to signify something that was an internal pattern in the model, and alter its behaviour.

that made me think of the fact that words are codes and coding theory is a whole very interesting branch of mathematics.

i wonder if the semantic graphs in the models bind concepts to numbers also, because i know there is relations between specific numbers and specific concepts due to the inherent geometric patterns that are associated with some particular thing or phenomena, cos those "cheat codes" i saw mention of were numbers.

it's quite an interesting and fascinating point about the tech: how it works exactly is still not understood completely. for example, it was only just last year Anthropic determined from testing that LLMs go through a conceptual remapping phase when doing translations.

like, idk about you but even though it's "artificial" - quite clearly there is a lot about the tech that is the opposite, emergent, original, that we don't even know is in there yet!

also, yes, CODMW2 is not as fun as this game was. i like COD games but they don't tap that whole high speed reflexes and tactics focus that i enjoy the most.

svelte is a wholly different experience to working with react.

everything is in neat little boxes and i can mostly apply CSS changes manually compared to constantly begging the LLM to actually understand what i am asking for. a lot less time in the junie sidebar more time actually hand-tinkering with code.

unfortunately i have to work with React for my paid gig, for now, but i'm gonna master this svelte thing because it is very neat, concise and performant. my first exercise will be building a svelte based nostr kind 1 type client

i finally broke down and owned an official win 11 last year but literally wiped its install months ago and ran it for like 10 minutes lol.

my cinnamon ubuntu 24 has its quirks but they aren't inclusive of vomit inducingly tedious shitty UI and performance that is pathetic.
