NEW:

🇷🇺🇬🇧🇺🇲 Russia claims that they discovered that The ruling Labor Party in the United Kingdom is sending 100 specialists to prevent Donald Trump from becoming the president of the United States.

From Maria Zakharova on her Telegram channel:

"The ruling Labour Party in the United Kingdom is sending 100 specialists to prevent Donald Trump from becoming the president of the United States.

Either London has forgotten that the U.S. has been an independent country since 1776 and has sent its emissaries to appoint a governor-general of a royal colony, or the American Democrats are in serious trouble if they have to call on their former rulers for help. There’s another possibility—the U.S. just loves it when their elections are interfered with, as they interfere in others’ elections. A sort of electoral swing.

It’s an interesting precedent. Media leaks indicate that 100 party activists from another country will campaign for Harris precisely in the most challenging ‘swing states’ for the Democrats: North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

Of course, the American people have considerable experience with British officials.

In 1773, Americans held the famous Boston Tea Party. Donald Trump is already using the slogan from that era—‘the British are coming!’ But the islanders aren’t novices either. It’s rarely remembered today, but in 1814 they burned down the U.S. Capitol and the White House.

These are events of the past, but in modern history, accusations from Washington of other countries interfering in U.S. elections occur more frequently than the national anthem.

One would like to ask: isn’t this British interference in American elections, and in favor of a specific candidate?"

Got my 2nd node running!

Fun fun.

I only wear wide shoes because there’s no way that standard shoes are good for your toes …

I think I paid about $250 USD off season back in 2019!

But yes it was such an amazing experience.

Worth every penny.

Also had to stop and buy more golf balls after 9 holes haha the wind was beyond words!

This is what the course looks like from above.

Not a tree on the property.

Explains the wind.

**Security Update**

I've got some bad news for you guys. This morning, as I was adding error handling to flotilla, I discovered that Coracle has been sending user session objects to bugsnag when reporting errors.

Who is affected: Users who triggered an error in Coracle while signed in with their private key, since December 5th 2023.

What I've done:

- I immediately released a new version of Coracle, both to web and to zap.store

- I have deleted the affected apks from my releases

- I have deleted all my error data from bugsnag

- I have deleted my bugsnag project and rotated my api key, so lingering error reports will be dropped

- I have audited my code for use of the session object to ensure nothing else like this is happening

What you should do:

- If you're logged in with your private key, log out

- Hard refresh the page to ensure you have the latest version of Coracle

The bottom line is that if you signed in to Coracle with your private key, it has been shared with me and with bugsnag. In practical terms, your keys should still be secure, since they were sent over TLS, and have been deleted. But there is no guarantee I can offer that they are in fact gone.

I take my users' privacy seriously. My error reporting implementation doesn't record user IPs, it redacts identifying data, and it allows users to opt-out. I also warn the user when they attempt to enter an nsec into a text field. In this case, I simply screwed up, and I sincerely apologize. Reply to this note if you have any questions.

What if nostr had a halving like bitcoin?

A crazy thought experiment

(And I know it'll probably never happen - for a variety of reasons - but still fun to think about)

What if nostr following the same code as bitcoin and half the npubs got cut in half every four years?

The bottom 50% of activity gets snipped

Making npubs scarce and valuable

Imagine a scarce communication layer combined with a scarce money layer

Scarcity creates abundance

My wife is pregnant.

These next months are going to be a wild ride.

Wish us luck.

New on the platform but excited to mess around with Primal. Learning all about Nostr and the future has me excited
