———DIRECTIONS ——-

Filling Instructions:

1. Prepare the Carrots:

• Wash and peel the carrots using a peeler.

• Grate the carrots using a grater until finely shredded.

2. Prepare the Onions:

• Peel the onions and finely chop them with a knife.

3. Cook the Filling:

• Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat.

• Add the chopped onions and cook until they are soft and transparent, stirring occasionally.

• Stir in the shredded carrots, mixing well with the onions.

• Add salt & pepper to taste, along with the teaspoon of brown sugar.

• From time to time, add a small amount of water to the pan to help soften the carrots and prevent them from burning. Sauté until the carrots are tender and fully cooked.

4. Set Aside:

• Remove the filling from heat and let it cool slightly. Reserve it for assembling the cake layers.

Mayo Icing Instructions:

1. Combine Ingredients:

• Pour 250 ml of olive oil into a tall mixing cup or container.

• Add 1 spoon of salt, 1/2 spoon of sugar, 1/2 spoon of mustard, 2 spoons of fresh lemon (or lime) juice, and 1 organic egg.

2. Blend:

• Insert the hand blender into the cup, ensuring the blades are fully submerged in the mixture.

• Blend at a steady speed until the mixture emulsifies into a thick and creamy mayo-like consistency.

3. Adjust Seasoning (Optional):

• Taste the icing (mayo) and adjust seasoning (e.g., add more salt, sugar, or lemon juice) to suit your preference.

4. Set Aside:

• Transfer the mayo icing to a bowl and set aside until it’s time to assemble the cake.

Liver Blini Instructions:

1. Prepare the Liver:

• Peel the liver (if necessary).

• Chop the liver into small strips or pieces for easier blending.

2. Blend the Mixture:

• In a blender, combine the liver and raw organic milk. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.

• Pour the blended mixture into a mixing bowl.

3. Add Remaining Ingredients:

• Into the liver mixture, whisk in the eggs and gradually add the flour (2-3 spoons, depending on desired consistency). Mix well until fully combined.

4. Cook the Blini/crepes:

• Heat a small amount of olive oil in a blini pan (or non-stick frying pan) over medium heat.

• Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan, swirling to spread evenly, creating a pancake or crepe-like texture.

• Fry for about 1–2 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Repeat until all the batter is used.

5. Cool and Set Aside:

• Once cooked, stack the blini on a plate (you can assemble the cake in the end if you are working alone).

Once everything is prepared you can start assembling the layers of the liver blinis with the filling, stacking them to create a “cake.”

Assembling the Liver Cake

Directions

1. Layer 1:

* Place a liver blini on your serving plate.

* Spread a thin layer of mayo icing on top.

* Over the mayo icing, add a layer of the carrot and onion filling, spreading it evenly.

2. Repeat:

* Continue layering by alternating liver blinis, mayo icing, and carrot-onion filling until all the blinis are used.

3. Finish with Garnish:

* On the top layer, spread a final layer of mayo icing.

* Garnish with fresh herbs, grated hard-boiled eggs, or any other preferred toppings.

4. Serving:

* This dish can be served warm, as the flavors are fresh and vibrant. (I prefer it warm)

* Alternatively, you can chill the cake before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. (Most people prefer it chilled)

You are confusing things. Blockchains indeed dont work irt 'physical' things. But 'identity' is just an abstract notion. Its just a registration of names and pointers, and signatures determine validity. So that should work fine.

The problem is that blockchains dont scale well on the one hand and you have an incentive problem on the other.

So Alex is correct in this statement: we know how to do decentralized global state, and we barely know and for the most part are still finding out over time if it works for money, let alone something else.

Accepting that, leaves us with putting keys at the center of the system, and as such you have no option other than 'combining identity and authorization'. Your complaint against that is the same old trap that makes people want to look at blockchains or whatever, because you need a registry linking the two if you dont want to combine them.

If your conclusion is that putting keys at the center of things (not an unreasonable possition btw) is unwise/wont work, then give up on Bitcoin and give up on Nostr.

> Now, if we just put the whole thing on a blockchain that would totally solve that problem.

I would be very surprised if this were true, as I have failed to find a sound use of a blockchain outside of a fungible currency.

The problems are always deciding whether a change is valid, and enforcing the on-chain information. With Bitcoin a change is valid if it sends value less than what's in a wallet to somewhere and is signed by the corresponding private key. The change is also respected because now the wallet doesn't have control of the value, and (probably) someone else does. Both of these are automated and verifiable by anyone.

When you put something else on the chain, say the deed to a house, miners can't validate the change unless it's an ordinal. Fair enough, we can assign an ordinal. But they also can't enforce the effect: only the government decides who owns a house. Once you identify this part which isn't automated, you might as well replace the blockchain with a database.

So, on the one hand, it seems that they did the right thing and avoided using a blockchain in a way that doesn't make sense. But on the other, it's presumably because only one group can determine whether a change is valid, which means it was never distributed in the first place.

Identity is a surprisingly difficult problem. Nostr gets most of it right, except for combining identity and authorization into a single key. No reasonable system still uses "$username:$password" as their session id.

false, it's C

"But why would any dev start to do such a thing in the first place?"

A hypothetical scenario: Because they believe that anyone who disagrees with their political beliefs is a Nazi and should be silenced

"Why would users addopt it secondly?"

Because they are the best clients technically, and these users do not really care about politics. They are just normal people who want to use social media.

Yes, you can fork the clients, but non-political people don't care enough to switch to your fork.

I'm not saying these things are happening right now. I'm just saying that a scenario similar to this is possible. There is nothing in the nostr protocol to prevent this. I really hope I'm wrong.

So if all major nostr clients decide to adopt a shared blocklist to ban "the Nazis" wouldn't we have a situation worse than fediblock?

Are you allowed to smoke inside or are you that level of fucked?

I'm partial to QuakeWorld myself. That movement is so gooooood. Brood War was amazing, but there are definitely some nice quality of life changes it could get, like larger selection groups. I'm fond of Beyond All Reason and Zero-K these days for RTS.

Of course the outbox model lets yo see notes of people you don't follow replying to notes of people you follow. That's one of its core features 😉

The fact that gaming companies never open source anything anymore, even their thirty year old shit they don't even TRY to sell anymore, is a travesty. It was never that popular, but look at what cultural cornerstones Doom and Quake managed to become. Being great games helped a lot, but opening them for the community to maintain is what solidified their positions.

Of course, if you're still playing Doom or Quake or Warcraft 1/2/3 or original StarCraft, how much harder is it to convince you to buy the latest rerelease or shitty sequel? Or what if a competitor *gasp* moderately improved their code by studying yours? Fuck the culture, we need to make 0.3% more profit.

I think search relays solve that? Isn't there a search nip that relays can support? Also, it is by design that you won't see original posts from people you don't follow (unless you use search). You will, however see their replies to posts from people you do follow, which is how it's supposed to work. It is a good organic model: those who interact get more visibility and interaction.
