Ok here's my briefest possible rundown, I'll try to exclude people you already follow. afaict you haven't been on nostr for a hot minute. I can barely keep up myself. Also, I'm running out the door right now so there's probably a bunch of typos and mistakes, but here you go.
every few days or weeks there's some random wildfire meme event, like one day I logged in and everyone was named Dan
I like the consistent trend of pointing to nostr "problems" are actually features indicating how decentralized it is. like follow like or counts can fluctuate, or you can't gaurantee a post has been deleted. Did you know Mastadon stores like counts in a sql record? anyway, seen a lot of posts like that
Two web-based nostr clients you gotta try if you haven't already are nostrudel (tons of features/customization, I particularly like how it handles relays) and
nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn is working on coracle which has the best in class WoT functionality in nostr afaik
nostr:npub12hcytyr8fumy3axde8wgeced523gyp6v6zczqktwuqeaztfc2xzsz3rdp4 is streaming music on zap.stream 24/7
nostr:npub1yxp7j36cfqws7yj0hkfu2mx25308u4zua6ud22zglxp98ayhh96s8c399s posts here occasionally. Always a treat to hear from him.
Some of the grapheneOS folks are on here, like nostr:npub1c9d95evcdeatgy6dacats5j5mfw96jcyu79579kg9qm3jtf42xzs07sqfm
nostr:npub1yxp7j36cfqws7yj0hkfu2mx25308u4zua6ud22zglxp98ayhh96s8c399s is prolific and working on cool stuff in golang like REPLICATR
nostr:npub15c88nc8d44gsp4658dnfu5fahswzzu8gaxm5lkuwjud068swdqfspxssvx is publishing about privacy and working on freedom.tech
nostr:npub1jk9h2jsa8hjmtm9qlcca942473gnyhuynz5rmgve0dlu6hpeazxqc3lqz7 is always keeping the vibe light
You already follow nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac but I just wanted to say he's definitely the best cat these days.
nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr is working on a file sharing protocol called blossom (he was on Citadel Dispatch talking about it recently if you want to catch up on that)
all the usual suspects like odell, the jacks, etc. are all still holding it down influentially. divisive and incisive. all of them have been called out and challenged in one way or another, and they're all still going strong. the stakes are high, so good on'em.
There are some folks on here that have sharp technical views on things, I always love seeing them comment on topics:
nostr:npub16r0tl8a39hhcrapa03559xahsjqj4s0y6t2n5gpdk64v06jtgekqdkz5pl
nostr:npub17q5n2z8naw0xl6vu9lvt560lg33pdpe29k0k09umlfxm3vc4tqrq466f2y
nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5
You cannot overestimate the need for good vibes so follow nostr:npub1gvlgps2077uwzmshnn8vxh64sv7l0h26tgrr6gc30d9srdhew9cqxcnhgv
Offset that with the proper antagonism from nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj who will probably save us all in the end.
nostr:npub1ejvhdkt8ppefezgz0sgnwdqrn8l4z8muws2k8dz2tv0a57ac2z9st56q8x (yes)
oh nostr:npub1xdtducdnjerex88gkg2qk2atsdlqsyxqaag4h05jmcpyspqt30wscmntxy also built nsec.app which is pretty cool too
nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x is still tearin' it up. he's like the benevolent king that conquered lightning, but he's giving it all back to us in the end with nostr:npub19hg5pj5qmd3teumh6ld7drfz49d65sw3n3d5jud8sgz27avkq5dqm7yv9p
NWC will be in everything one day
nostr:npub1t0nyg64g5vwprva52wlcmt7fkdr07v5dr7s35raq9g0xgc0k4xcsedjgqv is scheming up ways to fix lightning (save the money, save the world)
nostr:npub1nxa4tywfz9nqp7z9zp7nr7d4nchhclsf58lcqt5y782rmf2hefjquaa6q8 also built satdress which I continue to use every day to zap people and continue to aggressively recommend
nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg building wild ecash stuff
I think you already follow me, but you should know that if I was a language model they'd probably just delete me for having terrible inference quality
btw I searched for you in Amethyst and couldn't find you even though I follow you. nostr is SO DECENTRALIZED
Obligatory addendum to this story is that I pointed my Ansible playbook to different servers and migrated to Racknerd overnight. I politely told off the crypto commerce and they returned the funds back to the address of the payment input utxo. Samurai wallet indicated that the transaction was a "mix" which was weird given the situation (turned out my whirlpool cli was still running so I finally shut that off).
Devops practice helps avoid this turning into a real fire alarm, but it's still extremely lame that vendors will switch payment gateways every year. They're probably just chasing promotional/introductory offers.
Feels absolutely disgusting to use these crypto commerce services. Almost as bad as using credit cards.
Bitcoiners are still hangin' out every Thursday in OC. Love these guys. π€

Ok, Microsoft Github is censoring access my samourai dojo ansible role as if it was a private repo. But it is and has always been a public repo:
```
git clone https://github.com/bleetube/ansible-role-dojo
Cloning into 'ansible-role-dojo'...
Username for 'https://github.com':
```
I jumped to the wrong conclusion, but my lack of surprise when I thought this was a worse case scenario tells me I need to gtfo of Github asap.

I'll post about literally anything, and in seconds he shows up talking about Enochian magick and golang

Keep your friends close, but keep your Fedora users closer.
Shouldn't you be sending 429s then?
I hit a wall talking to some people irl. Anytime I start talking talking about Freedom, self sovereign money it's immediately like I'm speaking a different language and the person is like "so you're saying I should go 100x long now?"
I have no idea how to bridge that gap
Winamp is going open source.
A little late, isn't it? π

Nah I'd happily use a Linux port
GM Nostr β
Recording the monthly show with nostr:npub1jcympy69pht7ptan39se4nd09e4q66qhey649uu3rczm2zh88c7s0n2890 this morning. Any topics you'd like covered or questions you might have?
Have a good one π§‘β‘
Mobile wallets that support payjoin?
snowflake proxy in Debian 12 repositories is quite old. I wanted newer version, but compilation from source requires go-1.21, while Debian 12 has go-1.19 in standard repositories. I installed go-1.21 from bookworm-backports, this means adding
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main contrib non-free
to your /etc/sources.list, doing "apt update" and "apt install golang-1.21/stable-backports". Then you can compile snowflake by "/usr/lib/go-1.21/bin/go build", and run by "nohup ./proxy".
I would just install nix at this point, b/c I'm lazy af lately
Or the debate at tabconf 2023 that was about this
They finally just responded with this:
"Cryptomus Support Team: Hello. Thanks for waiting.
An AML block has been triggered on your transaction
Can you please let us know if this transaction has been paid? If payment has not been made, please block the application on your
side. This payment will be held.
To confirm the origin of the funds, please answer the following questions in full:
- Through which platform did the funds come to you? If possible, please provide screenshots of the sender's wallet/platform withdrawal history, as well as a link to transaction in the explorer;
- What service you received the funds for;
- The amount of the transaction and the date and time it was executed;
- through which contact person did you communicate with the sender of funds? If possible, please provide screenshots of the correspondence with the sender where we can see the confirmation that the funds were sent.
Please request the following from the person who made the payment:
Screenshot of the output of the platform from which they transferred funds, showing the details of the transaction."
3 days on and no support response. Will be moving this server to a different provider, Racknerd. they were using Coinbase last year, and are now using Coinify. Paid them with change from the exact same utxo and went through no problem, this time.
No luck finding a competitive provider that uses btcpayserver yet. Will have to keep on the lookout.
