You got bitcoiner.social on it?
No and I've been mulling over a free relay policy that expires them earlier than anything else. Either that or rejecting them entirely as spam. On one hand, likes are a debatably toxic form of human engagement, on the other hand, relays are supposed to be dumb and let the end user devices figure out what to do.

It's a compounding effect, so depends how many people use the bad clients. Partial mitigation is possible using nginx rate limits but it's not a pretty solution

Virmach (cloud vps host) lost a whole /17 today ๐คฏ
ie. Their customers are facing a global outage across different continents.
There are some failure modes you plan for, and then some like this that just slap you right up your face. Luckily all my important shit is self hosted at home and our relays are not on Virmach. But I lost my public peertube and some email servers for a bit lol ๐ป
Oh and the standard recourse, if they can't recover their supernet, is to re-address everything. The good news is I switched to dnscontrol a few months ago so updating records will be pretty easy. But I've seen them do that before.
Anyway, I feel for them as they're having a really bad day right now.
On the cusp of a recession and then a stagflation that could last for years, we can protect ourselves with Bitcoin.
And on the cusp of powerful machine intelligence, it's nondualism in the tradition of Buddhism and Hinduism with which we can protect our minds.
In Hinduism and Advaita Vedanta philosophy, Atman and Brahman are two fundamental concepts that are central to understanding the nature of reality and the human experience.
Atman refers to the individual soul, which is seen as an eternal, unchanging, and indestructible essence that is present in every living being. According to Advaita Vedanta, the Atman is not separate from the ultimate reality of Brahman but is a manifestation of it.
Brahman, on the other hand, refers to the ultimate reality and is seen as the source and foundation of all existence. Brahman is described as pure consciousness, beyond all concepts and attributes, including time and space. According to Advaita Vedanta, Brahman is the only true reality, and everything else, including the physical world and the individual self, is an illusion (Maya).
t is believed that through a process of self-inquiry and contemplation, one can realize the ultimate reality of Brahman and the identity of the individual self with the ultimate reality. This realization is seen as the ultimate goal of human existence and is often referred to as enlightenment or liberation.
Actually I'm not at all sure that's what they're using. I'd just seen them discussing it once and assumed. I'm mostly describing posts I see in my global feed.
Dunno if you've seen it already but there's garnet.nostrian.net webui where Japanese discussion takes place. I don't quite know why but it seems like they use event kind 1 like forum posts. Their notes often appear to be referring to an ongoing conversation but never actually are in a thread. I see some of these come over my relays and love that Amethyst translates them.
219Gb torrent for a self hosted LLM (just the model)
Probably cost the corpos $4MM in compute and you can fit it on a 256G thumb drive.
Lately when I'm out, I've been hearing a song that sounds like a cover of this but it's sung by a guy. I'm always bothered to hear it because I'd rather hear Yaeji

Channels view is wonky for me. shows either one or zero channels every time I switch tabs and refresh
That's huge. Great work!
Iโm not even one day into replacing Threema with FluffyChat and Iโd already say self hosted matrix with FluffyChat is 10x more fun and useful compared to Threema just for DMing alone. A bit of work to stand it up, but so worth it. being able to chat from any of my devices is great.

How many books published in 2023 and thereafter will be ghost written by ChatGPT ๐ค
Oh I also reduced the max size of note to 16k instead of the default 64k. That probably has as much or more to do with the throughput change lol
Away from my desktop atm, but before spam filtering I was seeing consumption grow week over week on my public strfry relay. To about 1Tb per 7-10 days. It was still just on a VM then. It's about a quarter of the bandwidth after I started rejecting notes with URLs. I've since migrated to a dedicated server with unmetered gigabit, for whenever the next wave of growth hits us.
The paid relay network throughput has always been pretty stable, it's a tiny relay by comparison.
NEW NOSTR CLIENT ANNOUNCEMENT:
ONOSENDAI ใชใใปใณใใค
a cyberspace client for the one true metaverse: nostr
๐ https://onosendai.tech ๐ (hint: in alpha. desktop/android works best right now)
ONOSENDAI visualizes objects on the nostr protocol in an interactive 3D world referred to as 'cyberspace'.
โก Semantic Coordinate System (โ )
Each nostr note (kind 1) is assigned a 3D point in cyberspace based on the _meaning_ of its content using a 256-bit simhash. This unbiased algorithm maps all notes to a 3D universe you can explore.
โก Proof of Work for Localization of Constructs (wip๐ ๏ธ)
Placing 3D objects in Cyberspace is a self-evident necessity. Kind 10333 notes may be published with content set to a common 3D format to create public 3D visualizations. Proof of work can be utilized to mine the event ID hash which determines the coordinate location. Proof of work is the only way to claim cyberspace real estate.
โก Presence (wip๐ ๏ธ)
Ephemeral events could be used to *optionally* share your current position in cyberspace so that other users can visualize your movement and interact with you.
๐ก Rationale
Cyberspace (in this context) is an early-internet trope from the 80s. It's an enthusiastic and naive speculation on the future of network-connected computers and how humans might use them. Ultimately, instead of interacting in 3D virtual spaces, humans ended up interacting via documents in web browsers which is much more practical and efficient than 3D visualizations.
Besides the problem of visualizing content, there are several more critical problems with the concept of cyberspace that are rarely (if ever) addressed in fiction:
- Who hosts it?
- Who decides how it looks?
- Who owns the content?
- Who makes the rules?
- Who assigns the space?
- Who controls it?
These questions are answered satisfactorily in the era of bitcoin and nostr:
- Who hosts it? nostr relays
- Who decides how it looks? nostr clients like ONOSENDAI
- Who owns the content? users cryptographically own their content
- Who makes the rules? open source consensus
- Who assigns the space? an impartial algorithm + proof of work
- Who controls it? ๐NOBODY๐
In my opinion, it is only in the context of bitcoin and nostr that something like cyberspace could make sense. Without the decentralized properties of nostr and bitcoin, cyberspace is just another 3D game owned by a company. However, when cyberspace is decentralized, enforces property rights, responds to proof of work, and enables instant value transfer, it becomes something entirely different.
Because cyberspace inherits all of these unique properties from nostr and because value transfer can be executed in cyberspace through bitcoin lightning, I argue that it is time for humanity to take another look at this dusty old concept and start exploring it with renewed interest.
I, unlike many metaverse enthusiasts, have a strong moral preference for reality over illusion. The idealized metaverse or cyberspace worlds that Meta and the like want to build are nothing more than a drug used to extract resources from miserable VR-goggled souls. That is the fiat version of cyberspace and it sucks. I am not interested in building clever simulations that seek to replace reality. I want to build tools that enable people to connect and be more productive. I want to open up new channels for communication, innovation, and human flourishing in reality.
Cyberspace is a new way to visualize the new paradigm for digital communication and property. It is wholly based around cryptography and digital ownership. If not for these things, cyberspace would be irrelevant.
A cyberspace built on decentralized protocols and sound money โ nostr and bitcoin โ has the potential to be something innovative, healthy, and ultimately productive for humanity. Cyberspace can be something where wealth is not extracted but rather generated by work and free markets. Cyberspace could be a new medium of connection built on sound principles that can enable humanity to do new things not previously dreamed of.
If it were not for the profound inventions of bitcoin and nostr, these aspirations would be nothing but ludicrous and delusional. In fact, any metaverse or cyberspace built outside of the context of bitcoin and nostr are delusional at best and Machiavellian at worst. Spoiler: it's the latter in most cases. But we have the opportunity to build something better. We have the winning hand. Let's make it happen.
