Today I learned "English defamation law puts the burden of proof on the defendant, and does not require the plaintiff to prove falsehood. For that reason, it has been considered an impediment to free speech in much of the developed world." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_defamation_law

"Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will be very high. Just as many were astonished at you (his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men), so he will cleanse many nations." - Isaiah

I tried to upgrade gossip to 0.13.0-1 but apparently my libc is too old:

> gossip : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.35) but 2.31-13+deb11u11 is to be installed

My distro's Debian version shows 11.7, is Debian 11 really EOL?

https://www.debian.org/releases/ says Bullseye (11) is EOL 2024-08-14 but EOL LTS 2026-08-31.

nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c is this expected? This distribution doesn't have a new release based on Bookworm (12) yet.

I didn't see a bunch of the existing responses when I wrote this. I am not sure how to see them other than going to the web and checking several sites or waiting.

Oh, right! It's not federal, and there are no reserves!

I guess not. Can you explain?

No, about 3.1T USD market cap in central bank gold reserves using an estimate of 36699 tonnes at 2597.07 USD per troy ounce and 32150.75 troy ounces per tonne.

Total gold market cap using an estimate of 271583 tonnes and same price and conversion would be about 23T USD.

I would take it as a strong "trade a substantial portion of your bitcoin for gold" signal if bitcoin reaches the same market cap as gold.

Perhaps an answer is found in the below post. It sounds like an anti-industrial idea. Everything I found in a few minutes hints at "technocracy" aka "socialism." It reminds me of how attaching the word "stakeholder" to "capitalism" essentially means socialism. "Circular economy" sounds orthogonal to using a new medium of exchange, so what am I missing?

Who came up with this catchphrase "circular economies" and in what sense does it differ from "the economy"? People using a different medium of exchange doesn't mean they're in a separate or isolated economy. It means they're using a different medium of exchange. Is the Euro-zone a circular economy separate from the dollar-zone economy? I don't think so. I don't think the economy is geometric in any sense, either, so I dislike the term. Maybe my mind is made up. Maybe it can be changed. If anyone can elaborate the logic or point to the original promoter of the term, please do.

Is the original domain name registered with that original hosting provider? In that case I see you would not be able to control the DNS records. Otherwise I think you should be able to set the original domain name to the new IP address. There might still be a way but might be troublesome. One of the use cases for domain names is the ability to point an existing name to a different host. I was curious because I was thinking about how DNS might be a weak point for nostr. DNS could be superfluous and therefore an unnecessary risk if the same thing that you experienced is common: losing access to the domain name controls when losing access to hosting. DNS, as Moxie pointed out a while ago, is "distributed" in the sense that the data are distributed, but the trust is centralized. DNS takedowns are a common censorship technique. Nostr might be better off using IP addresses directly, but that leads back to HTTPS/TLS and trying to get a TLS certificate where the common name is the IP address. Let's Encrypt, for example, won't issue a certificate for a non-DNS name such as an IP address.
