I use NextDNS and one of the options to enable is blocking newly registered domains.

Highly recommend it for malware prevention but obviously has potential pitfalls.

Turns out Nostr works a lot better when you're not blocking half your relays with DNS sinkholing because they're newly registered domains πŸ˜…

Feed looks much more like I expect today.

Use this generator as your base (update nginx/SSL versions appropriately if you run into issues) and add in your custom well-known block in the first server block and your proxy_pass location block in the SSL server block:

https://ssl-config.mozilla.org/#server=nginx&version=1.17.7&config=intermediate&openssl=1.1.1k&ocsp=false&guideline=5.6

Itching to trade sats for syrup, held off on our Costco syrup purchase to get some of yours 😁

*Highly* recommend this dude's syrup, amazing quality, consistency, and flavor.

Hell of a way to support the Bitcoin circular economy and reward him and his families hard work with sats.

RSS is all working for me, where are you seeing issues?

Hadn't tried latest, looks good for me on mobile now!

Will try to figure out Snort.

Already had Zappr muted, no clue how to get back to the top of the chain now to try muting the individual note.

So how in the world do I fix my notifications after being tagged in this spam "hell thread" ???

Pretty tired of not having usable Nostr notifications already.

Welcome to the party, pal 😎

Amethyst is amazing and so rapidly improving.

Definitely my favorite client so far on any platform.

Will be sure we chat about that in our lightning episode πŸ™‚

Need to dig into how to mirror onto there moving forward but I can't really be controlling two rooms at once heh

Any tips for Nostr Nests? Still want to have the core group on Twitter (for now).

Live on Twitter Spaces talking all things Bitcoin privacy right now:

This is at the root of Nostr, however.

An open and public network that enables things like social media where you own your data means that *each person* has to take personal responsibility to preserve privacy where they want it.

The easiest ways will be only using relays you trust/control and using a always-on VPN on all devices to hide true source IP.

Outside of that, people should assume everything in Nostr is public and act accordingly.

That is totally fine and should be a similar expectation as centralized social media, except that in this case *anyone* on your relay(s) can see all of that data, where as with Twitter etc. only Twitter and 3rd-parties they share with can.

If you make much of the data we're putting into Nostr private by default, it will be a pretty poor social tool.

Allows me to only trust myself with data/IP info from my clients instead of trusting snort.social.

Probably not necessary as your connections to relays still go p2p and not through the Snort instance, but I prefer it whenever possible and could take some load off of snort.social.

The issue here is that Zaps are most interesting from a social perspective if *at least* the amount is visible so that you can see the skin in the game support for notes.

That obviously comes with privacy tradeoffs, though, so being able to encrypt all other info outside of amount/time to only the recipients pubkey is a big step forward towards revealing as little as possible to the broader network.

So the recipient can still see the sender or comment, just not the entire Nostr network.

I assume the network can still see amount/time of the Zap so it can display properly in clients? Any docs/info on how the encryption is handled?
