I dont know how that is open source.

Isnt protonmail a hoated solution?

Logseq, markor, mgit, amethyst, simple gallery, fennec, florisboard.

Yes, but iOS has a very unreliable third-party syncthing app.

Not really an extension, I use Shaarli. It is a selfhosted bookmark manager that you can access from any device. A simple bookmarklet lets you add new nores/bookmarks. iOS and Android both have native apps. Do check it!

I dont know why but I hate the word "influencer". It sounds too cheap. "Influential" is a better word.

These days everyone has to coin new terms to sound cool. So innovative. Not.

Thank you, that's very balanced review ig. So going to devote this weekend into reading more about btc and the underlying technology. I might bother you from time to time in case i have any doubt.

Thanks!

Thank you. Both look very exhaustive and informative.

Thank you for your insight. I am an absolute noob with btc. I never really bothered about reading more about btc due to two reasons:

1. I do not have any real money to invest into btc.

2. Due to the above, i do not own powerful computing devices to mine btc.

However, I want to learn a bit more about it. Where do you suggest a complete beginner should head to in order to learn more about it? #asknostr I understand that there are tons of articles and videos available but I would like to know which of them provide _correct_ information. Since btc is a overwhelming topic and there are several entities involved, it is easy to get led to wrong information. I am more interested in authentic source.

One more thing I want to ask: your post mentions btc can and will be used as real money. Is this a speculation or does it have any foundation? I dont want to start flame war here nor do I want to sound rude but a genuine question: whenever new technology lands (I wont say btc is new, it should have passed the test of time by now), there are always radical ones who believe its the next big thing. I want to know how much of this is actually the truth and how much of it is just pure hype. The hype factor bothers me because I have seen many headlines claiming btc will fail and scalability is a serious issue and such stuff. But I dont know if this is click-bait.

I hope you wont take me as rude and understand the doubts of a beginner.

You can try Odoo. Heard good things about it.

Also check awesome-selfhosted on Github for more alternatives.

I am afraid I have very little knowledge about bitcoin except that it grows faster than any currency and scalability is a serious issue.

Reddit once deliberated on turning reddit karma into a crypto but backed out later. So it's not really an innovative idea, but yes, first implementation yet.

As I said I am a dumbo about crypto but I have a question: if someone is sending sats via nostr, who is minng them? And why send coins to internet strangers? For funny memes? Am I missing something? #asknostr

It is. Alpine's architecture is more in line with React and Vue.js.

Nice write-up. Consider me someone from old Internet times when Web 1.0 was a thing. As much as I like #nostr, I have seen the same amount of excitement when Fediverse launched. But sadly it all faded away. And most people reverted back to Twitter though the loyal ones are still using it. The inherent problem with anything 'social' is: initially it's all good to chat with random people over newer ideas and make friends, but the 'network' becomes somewhat unusable when your 'real-world' friends don't show up there.

It was 2005 when all my friends were using Orkut sending 'scraps' and 'testimonials'. Then FB opened registration and I signed up. It was awesome playing 'games' and stuff there. But none of my Orkut friends joined. It became boring soon. Then, FB hit some big headlines and everybody jumped in. And look what happened to Orkut!

My point is Nostr needs some traction, some large scale media mention or something like that. Without that, I doubt people will stay here on this wonderful space.

Just my thoughts.

Hehe. So true, man. Classic rock stations are a constant reminder of my age. And it's painful.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Yes, for last couple of years, I have switched to #foss apps as much as possible, selfhosting multiple services. Thus far, I never had a problem finding the right applications. Agreed that most foss apps do lack aesthetics but thats not changing.

Off-topic but foss apps generally look bad across the board. There some pleasant exceptions though.

Inkscape, for example, is one of the most feature-rich applications and has almost all the features Illustrator offers, if mot more. But inkscape's ux is perhaps the worst and that scares most new users.

Rice with chicken curry and cherry chutney for lunch. 🫠

Hear hear!

This is an awesome map of #github. It scales well in low end devices as well. https://anvaka.github.io/map-of-github/

Recently, I was looking for a casual mobile #game to kill time during boring #office meetings. 2048 was my earlier go-to. This time I wanted to try something just a tiny bit harder.

Instead of Play Store, I tried f-droid this time. To my surprise, there's an entire games category and, at time time, there are 461 "games". Some of these are real gems. #Unciv is a bit complicated and has a somewhat steep learnijg curve, but perhaps the most popular of the lot. Then, there are sudoku and minesweeper games which require far more concentration than what I can allot during a meeting.

Among the word-puzzle games, there are Wordle games too. Unfortunately my smol brain never quite grasped its objective.

Finally, I tried Lexica. https://f-droid.org/app/com.serwylo.lexica It's a time-bound word finding game that has excellent integration with dictionaries and packs several different languages. It also offers various game modes that offer a little relaxing experience to the player.

Happy word-hunting!

There are essentially three stages of knowledge.

1. I dont know anything.

2. I know everything.

3. I dont know anything.

The goal is to attain the third stage.
