nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5 my ideal scenario is that when you create your nsec, you are give lets say 5 more. in order to use any of the remaining 4 you need to burn the other one and input the one that are of have being burned.
e.g.
some one hack me and stole my nsec from my vault, took my hard note pad, or a client fail...I can input nsec#1 + nsec#2 and from that point on nsec#1 is not. usable any more... not sure how possible is that...but it will be nice.
Just staring Hack The Box cyber courses... out of the bat the note taking apps was among first topic.
Zero experience with them all, but just as with passwords manager and Keeypass (old and established), I went with Cherry Tree, does not look appealing at all, but obsidian gave me the feeling that was one way street if I go for it...funny to read this now.
Do you use it for development or something else? any feedback regarding CherryTree is appreciated as I am on day 1 of using it and can change for sure.
My only concern is not loosing followers (which are almost none 😅) or whatever, is government or malicious actors impersonation. Of course the likelihood of me being a target is close to zero.
Most if us when we started the nostr journey we did it through a device or machine that likely could be compromise, and then again not all clients do best practices with nsec input.
I think is fair to say that there is potential for keys to be compromise from day 1. I am sure of my key back up and have no fear of loosing them, but if tomorrow they come after my faith or whatever belive I do fear impersonation. As I have seen in middle east, Venezuela, etc...I have no reason to belive any system I use is completely out of grab.
The internet is broken at a fundamental level starting with Domain providers and Internet providers.
I think a system with back up keys, to burn the original after a malicious attack could be beneficial, 100% on board on people learning to protect their keys, but this would make nostr even more censorship resistance....not sure if this is key rotation or not, just a thought.
This. 💪 by nostr:npub1ycwk4t5d6ct5lqz8t3z463hck0qymyugaqx8lcvmzywtjlpk8fgsyn937w . I started using KeeypasXC three months ago. its easy and good. NEVER heard about the secret questions answers tip... great tip.
About the same time I stated usimg Qubes OS, bassically multiple Qubes/VMs to isolate your life un segments..love it. Too much resources demand in my laptop, and feel I was dependent on the system for security and was missimg a leanring opportunity...now the OP comment about every digital box becoming open, a good reminder for sure for a normal, non tech user like me.
Love the gospel, opsec, and open source references! ha!

courios what cloud provider are you using for you server? or is home base?
This has been my biggest hang up on start experimenting. As I do not have the hardware to run 24/7 from home.
Have many open sources software that currently I am paying for managed services, like alby hub for example and others, that would love to try to manage my self.
For receives… yes very true.. I forgot about this fact (I don’t personally use AlbyHub for receives)
Very interesting.... At least for what I have seen on how they move forward to self custodial, open source, etc... I would think they will work in giving users a way to take control on this as well. At least tutorial based.
The AlbyHub relay went down last night and all folks with Self-custodial setups could not zap through AlbyHub because it couldn’t reach your Relay.
The main thing we need is a function that allows us to replace the default the relay in AlbyHub so that users who want to zap from their nodes are not left in the dark when/if the AlbyRelay goes down.
If we’re able to use our own relay like https://github.com/bitvora/wallet-relay then we wouldn’t need to depend on AlbyRelay 100% uptime. We could do it ourselves.

This is downtime wa exclusive to the albyhub that is paid right?
Question:
- If one albyhub user is hosting his own albyhub, that would have not affect him?
- If it would still affect him, the solution is to host your alby hub AND your own node?
Really interested on this as planning how to set me bitvora haven relay...maybe I should consider a wallet relay as well.

A daily reminder to wake up before anyone else in your house.
Things done over the weekend (staying away from Nostr!):
Installed a new OS on the desktop.
Installed Ollama and a few AI models locally.
Installed Goose AI Agent.
Practiced my terminal skills.
Things done so far today: 100 push-ups.
Checked Nostr.
Read the Bible (James 1) & prayed.
Checked Nostr again.
Learned about Docker vs. Podman and how to deploy a VPS... still daydreaming and thinking that one day I may be able to host the many open-source apps I’m currently paying for in managed services.
Posted a GM on Nostr.
Now waiting for my wife to come down to pray with me.
Ready for a new week!
GM nostr!.... Does any body remember the official nostr video that was on the nostr website,,I belive it was nostr.com at least year and half to two years ago?
Older guy in a garage talking about how people were bootstrapping this thing. I just can't seem to find it anymore.
I like GM...BUT if that is the heartbeat, nostr is doom. Positiveness is not enough to make this successful.
We need breaking news, in depth analysis, cutting edge, and original content.
I think the heartbeat is freedom. And GM make nostr a very pleasant place. But we need content.
I have question GM since the beginning. BUT, it has made me think about the contrast of legacy social media (self centered and negativity) vs a community that at least say GM....
So have forced my self, and now for the most part I find more value than not.
On the other hand, I would prefer to see a more healthy balance of content. We need more diverse and more global content. Morning notes are maybe a good vehicle to give news, thoughts and other things....so not a simple Gm maybe is the key.
Gn.
e.g. if I stop being primal premiun... not store anything else there, randomly now maybe someone will re use the same url for their image and it will show in my note?👀🤔
People often say "I trust ChatGPT as far as I can throw it". One, stop throwing your devices. Two, we built Maple AI so you don't have to trust it. Verify the AI isn't spying on you and chat freely. https://trymaple.ai
👀 Interesting!
> where are they being hosted
I'm hosted my [nostr-rs-relay] nostr.4rs.nl at netcup.com.
> where are the relays storing the data
Relays don't have much data, it's only store json events, the media are stored in different servers called media servers, then you only attach the URL of your media in your note under `imeta` tag, you can learn more from [nip-92].
For example this is your GM note tags
```json
{
"tags": [
[
"imeta",
"url
",
"m image/jpeg",
"ox 32db714ca53dd9e31021def06a4c5a55d6620bc1167ab1ba0e8b5844d269fdb4",
"dim 4080x2296"
]
]
}
```
As you can see your image hosted in #primal mediaserver, the clients will take care of you, you only click on "Add image" button. btw, you can specify to your client what media server to use, I don't know if #primal support that or not, but it's exist.

Hey Thanks!
So for example, the relay of Bitvora Haven by nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8, it includes a Blossom Server for media. In this case, or in the case that you have a dedicated media server separate from the relay, the storage capacity will increase drastically right? Of course, depending on how much media you have.
And I just check netcup, looks interesting for sure! thanks!
I've tried to zap a few people this morning using nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev and I'm getting server errors 😩
I got server errors with my alby go as well.
#asknostr Relays, clients, etc where are they being hosted? Aws, Google, etc?
As a user I understand the decentralized strategy through relays and divers clients options.
But as developers (which I am not) , where are they storing their app codes and where are the relays storing the data. For the most part, as I assuming most big relays and clients are not using home servers.
So if I want to deploy let's say a Haven relay, not from my home network, what cloud provider, would you recommend me?
Hope there is logic in my questio. If not I welcome wisdom.
