Any blog author with high reach will be interested in SEO relevant metrics. From what I saw, oracolo simply directs the browser to open websockets to a bunch of relays which can be very slow. Example stats from a oracolo page on https://pagespeed.web.dev: 
I don't have experience with caching websocket, that might be a simple solution.
The internet is built on top of distributed independent servers with specific owners. Google managed to provide a de-facto "global feed" for the internet for a given keyword. Why shouldn't some nostr feed algorithm providers reach a similar status?
I understand that the problem becomes harder when you take into account each user's social graph, but I don't think that this makes it unsolvable

If you mention nostr:npub1z8wzhl5u4d5s6cd4k2jml4r4ymum3exyewz4gpk2n0qr5tt9dsjs497l04 it will reply with a quote image of the note you replied to.
I propose a new word for the weariness that comes over you when using a centralized platform that is getting worse and worse, and you think you can't switch to another platform while keeping your network, and even if you could, the cycle would simply repeat itself wherever you went: Plattformmüde.
What should we call the excitement you feel when you realize protocols are the way out of this cycle, and that not only are they theoretically possible, but Nostr actually exists?

I haven't used notedeck yet. I'll give it a try and if I like it I'll look into packaging it

I added a strfry #nixos package and service. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/385587
Al marketplace for providing AI services could be a big factor in decentralizing AI!
Flexibly renting out spare capacity of hardware, makes it easier to fully utilize hardware. This in return makes buying your own hardware an easier calculation (since the biggest risk is not having high enough utilization to make the numbers work out versus renting something).
There is a parallel to decentralized energy production with Bitcoin: Bitcoin mining makes allows providers to fully utilize new power station,s which makes projects realistic that would not be built without Bitcoin.
"Not your keys, not your name" is a list of decentralized protocols today: https://codeberg.org/amjoseph/not-your-keys-not-your-name

Which clients allow to propose fixes? I am I on primal desktop for nostr and I don't think this is supported there.

🎁 Announcing Keycast 🔑
A remote signing platform for teams.
https://share.cleanshot.com/y4XbqKpT
Remote signing (NIP-46) has always had a lot of promise. Apps like Amber, nsec.app, and others have made it possible to manage your nostr keys in a way that is safer than browser extensions or pasting your nsec around the internet.
BUT, none of them catered to teams. Groups like nostr:npub1nstrcu63lzpjkz94djajuz2evrgu2psd66cwgc0gz0c0qazezx0q9urg5l and nostr:npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk and many many companies out there are just sharing the main account nsec between different people and using it in different apps. A recipe for disaster.
Keycast aims to finally fix this. It allows you to:
- Manage teams of nostr users
- Manage multiple keys that you want to give others access to
- Create authorizations for those keys that grant specific permissions that can be changed, revoked, etc.
- Create your own custom permissions
- Run the signing infrastructure without any extra work
And do it all in a self-sovereign way. Keycast is meant to be run on your server, by you. I think it's tremendously important that this sort of tool doesn't exist as a hosted service (which would basically be a huge key honeypot over time).
The app is both a management web app AND a backend process that manages sub-processes that listen for remote signing requests, check permissions, and sign events.
There is a basic docker setup to start, but my goal is to have this easily deployable to StartOS, Umbrel, Podman, and others.
Code here: https://github.com/erskingardner/keycast
I love the elegance of the policy system. Easy to understand, yet very powerful
Anyone wants to run a nostr relay on #nixos?
Today I opened a nixpkgs PR for adding a nostr-rs-relay service. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/365038
Once this is merged, setting up a new relay will be possible via
services.nostr-rs-relay.enable
This is another test
Testing nostr-rs-relay
I have good experience with the nextcloud docker image. You need to backup the docker volumes. It's pretty transparent and reliable. What helped me a lot was taking notes on how I set things up and the backup + restore procedures.
If you want to look into other self-hosted solutions: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#file-transfer--synchronization
I have switched from FreshRSS to omnivore. It aggregates RSS + supports email newsletters + adding single articles.
I don't host it myself, but the option is there and the experience with the hosted version has been really good.
Right, always remeber to "git add".
After using nix on darwin for a while, I set up NixOS + Flakes for the first time this week. It went unexpectedly smooth - besides repeatedly forgetting to stage changes that is 😄
