Artigo?

Good morning. Yes, the time is now. And if I procrastinate.... well, then the time is now again. 😉

I'm here to play with Nostr again. I think the biggest thing missing for me here is audience control.

There ought to be a way to post in a way where you can designate who sees your post depending on the degree of friend they are to you.

Friendica, Hubzilla, Streams, and Forte does this. Facebook & Instagram does this. Maybe someday, someone will build that into the Nostr system.

What would that solve?

I think the takeaway here is just how insecure legacy infrastructure is, both in terms of platforms and in terms of email. Anchor makes me feel really insecure because of all the ways that I can surveil and hijack my users's authentication! But that's really a result of how much privacy people are used to giving away on the internet.

You could host your own instance of anchor, which would take care of the bunker url piece, but it would require you to run a server and use an email service (which can in turn then look at the content of your emails). You could go further and run your own email server, but that's a little over the top even for technical people.

One other possible solution I can think of would be to use PGP to encrypt the emails that are sent, but again, that solution has been shown to be too much hassle for anyone but the most paranoid to use on a regular basis.

The other day I was reading the original RSA paper, which starts with

> The era of “electronic mail” [10] may soon be upon us; we must ensure that two important properties of the current “paper mail” system are preserved: (a) messages are private, and (b) messages can be signed.

Ironically, email is neither private nor signed — but nostr is!

Out on the porch to catch some nice afternoon sun.

Nos tons dificulta bastante mesmo kk

Eu diria que é mais difícil por não termos tanto contato, pois não me parece tão dificil de reproduzir esses sons se treinar um pouco.

Apesar de que falantes de português estão acostumados com acentuações (mudança de fonema e vogais 'estressadas', apesar de não ser tonal) e não se torna tão difícil como para quem fala inglês kk
