Handyman engineer. I bounce from project to project. I'm often called in to do the finishing touches, bringing 90% complete projects over the finish line. I'm good at making disparate systems talk to each other. * Zaps powered by nostr:nprofile1qqsf07zg4hxyccnkdp07fppxmetpfzru3fg6mgzx3nk8r7af8qnjjyg76vulm * On-chain powered by nostr:nprofile1qqsvxq03xdev3uxehjqcdkr5lfzl5vawmcf7vm6ps73m6ghwg8y4k2shaefxp *Always Buy the Dip* #privacy #security #linux #Android #networkengineer #infosec #SimpleX #dogs #cats #pets #cooking

Ok, so use it. I don't like their relay model. It's good for people who want to just install and go, but not great if you want to experiment with your relay config, and explore the extended features of nostr.

Yep... Just hit little search icon 🔍 at the top, and enter your npub or NIP-05 address and it will pull up your profile.

I've spent HOURS sorting out my relays. Question for you, why is my profile out of date here: https://njump.me/decodejar@zaps.lol

I've edited and republished it dozens of times, to hundreds of different sets of relays, including the 21 relays I currently use, and even the njump.me relay and it never updates. I've even been through the source in github to make sure I publish to all the relays it uses.

Njump is pretty cool, would like to use is as a profile URL on Twitter, but I can't get the damn thing to show the right info.

Njump has a bug where profile data isn't being updated properly. I would suggest you look to nosta.me instead.

I always refer to nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcscpyug's relay setup guide to understand the various relay types.

General relays? Or public outbox/Inbox relays?

Anytime you use your nsec in an app, it involves a degree of risk. That's why we have Amber and brower signing extensions. But it has been my experience that using the signing extention option in Cashu doesn't work. It has some sort of bug that produces errors and doesn't properly authenticate. But the nsec option does work, and I don't think it's any more or less risky than using it with any other app.

66 devices plugged into a single outlet? What could go wrong? 🤷‍♂️

You never know if you don't ask. And asking costs you nothing.

It provides the content of the top 10 or 15 relays, and eliminates the need for a dozen different relays. Instead you have just one, plus whatever specialty relays you want content from. Plus they have a distributed network with access points all over the world so you get peak speeds no matter where you are. Checkout https://docs.nostr.wine/filter/readme

Yeah, I just added time to my filter relay. It's expensive, but it eliminates the need to have a zillion general relays configured. That greatly reduces data use and power consumption, as well as simplifying the setup.

I agree it's a bit more complex, but as the protocol has advanced, so too must the operational foundations. The outbox model is a highly efficient way to accommodate those changes and the current requirements. But I do think there needs to be some progress on the implementation to better accommodate the users, and make configuration easier.

Isn't that the wallet that people use to play all those scam games?

Israel didn't exist in the 16th century, when the conflict began. What we're witnessing now is just the latest iteration of a centuries-long conflict between Muslims and Jews over that particular plot of land. Learn history before making assumptions and unnecessary snide remarks.

Book recommendation:

Anathem by Neal Stephenson

Summary

Fraa Erasmus is a young avout living in the Concent of Saunt Edhar, a sanctuary for mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers, protected from the corrupting influences of the "Saecular" world by ancient stone, honored traditions, and complex rituals.

Over the centuries, cities, and governments have risen and fallen beyond the concent's walls. Three times during history's darkest epochs, bloody violence born of superstition and ignorance has invaded and devastated the cloistered mathic community. Yet always the avout have managed to adapt in the wake of catastrophe, becoming out of necessity more austere and less dependent on technology and material things. Erasmus, however, has no fear of the outside - the Extramuros - for the last of the terrible times was long, long ago.

Now, in celebration of the week-long, once-in-a-decade rite of Apert, the fras and suurs prepare to venture outside the concent's gates - opening them wide at the same time to welcome the curious "extras" in.

During his first Apert as a fra, Erasmus eagerly anticipates reconnecting with the landmarks and family he hasn't seen since he was "collected". But before the week is out, both the existence he abandoned and the one he embraced will stand poised on the perilous brink of cataclysmic change.

Powerful unforeseen forces threaten the peaceful stability of mathic life and the established ennui of the Extramuros - a threat that only an unsteady alliance of Saecular and avout can oppose - as, one by one, Raz's colleagues, teachers, and friends are all called forth from the safety of the concent in hopes of warding off global disaster.

Suddenly burdened with a worlds-shattering responsibility, Erasmus finds himself a major player in a drama that will determine the future of everything - as he sets out on an extraordinary odyssey that will carry him to the most dangerous, inhospitable corners of an unfamiliar planet...and far beyond. #books #blog

I have something similar on my nostr1.com personal relay. But I'm the only user so it's much lower volume. But it is a live feed.
