Nostr Web Client

I just asked several AI models (gpt, deepseek, claude) to create nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wsqzqtw3gr9gpkmzhneh047mu6xj922m4fqar8zmf9c60qsy4a6evpg6c2uuxc plugin for Vintage Story in-game bitcoin payments (a bit like minecraft, but with better open source support and they don't ban anything related to bitcoin/crypto like Mojang)

I have no idea If any of these results will work out of the box, but holy shit

I have wanted to create Minecraft server where chunks are owned as NFTs on Ethereum. Diamonds would have real world value haha.

I was looking at VoxeLibre/Luanti as the OSS engine. Did you look at that, and if so, why Vintage Story over it?

Just curious

Not only do we need do decentralize the network protocol layer of data transmission (Nostr does this well)

We also need to decentralize physical network infrastructure

As in the physical internet needs to be owned by the people

I’ve seen some LoRaWaN content here which is afaik the most promising path

Future looks bright

I have a feeling I'll be ghosting a lot of friends in the coming years.

Spending time around bitcoiners makes me question old friendships. I have friends I've known for 20+ years who haven't offered any real value in a long time.

That sounds awful to say, but they are so caught up in their dead end jobs and other bullshit. No care for anything else. They think the MSM and government are the best sources of truth. No interest in growing, or in self reflection.

Any attempt at deep, meaningful conversation basically turn into the "That's crazy. Catch the game last night?" meme. It's frustrating.

I'm still processing my feelings on this. I haven't had a close "crew" of buddies since high school. Even that was superficial. I've always been that guy people hang out with, but never a part of the "inner circle" or whatever.

I'm not saying this to garner empathy. I'm the complete opposite of depressed, and I don't stay up at night wishing I was one of the cool kids. I like having a close family, a wife that's my best friend, and a couple others I can talk to about anything and everything in a meaningful way.

I'm just wondering if it's time to drop some baggage.

Nostr is a great place for long-ish form writing. I love privacy, but I also love sharing the human experience. I spent the first 30 years of life keeping everything bottled up inside.

Never going back to that.

I resonate a lot with your story. Not having "like minded individuals" for friends has been a common struggle in my life.

I have empathy for those that don't see past the facade. The school system, centralized media, and societal norms are strategically organized to produce cogs in the machine.

They likely envy those who pursue independent ventures and earn freedom from it, but lack the knowledge or drive to pursue it themselves. Sports (on tv), drinking, weed, video games, clubs, are often escapes from this frustration, not actual preferences. Not that these things can't be enjoyed sometimes.

So I consider the free thinking mindset a blessing in a world that tries to eliminate it.

We also live in the best timeline to be a free thinker, because the internet connects you to the others who share your niche interests. And with Nostr, they can't take this away from us.

As for "dropping baggage", I don't think it needs an explicit "break up conversation". I just give my energy to people who I feel like giving it to, and don't do things I don't want to do. Besides some family obligations of course. Some people stick around, some don't, and that's okay.

That's just how I handle it, not saying its correct or whatever. Good time to be alive though!

Nostr is simply superior to X for me, at least right now. The content and people here seem tech optimistic and low drama. The underlying communication fabric being decentralized is also just so cool.

I’ve restricted my use of Twitter to only when Im in my wee office on work mode.

I removed the app of my phone maybe 3 weeks ago now.

As someone who’s been a newshound for years it’s pretty challenging. Twitter is the ultimate source for breaking news but all things considered it’s an emotional pit and a time sink.

I do feel out of the loop but I also feel more peaceful and have to put things in perspective: “Who cares about this trivial bs, it’s utterly inconsequential to me.”

I missed the Trump assassination attempt. I had my phone turned off on Saturday night and learned about it through CONVERSATION with a friend on the Sunday afternoon.

What is this, the 1990s?

Jokes aside, given that my mind is slowly disconnecting from global and foreign concepts I’ve ended up noticing the little things locally a lot more.

That’s been nice.

Anyway that’s enough morning #Nostramblings

Have a great day now 💜

Yeah I feel this. I've tried to moderate to just nights or something, but I usually end up getting sucked in. Its the worst when you get sucked into internet politics or drama, waste of energy.
