1. Without American military funding maybe those things would be different, but the different versions would probably be much much better and maybe also have better names
2. No, not everyone can use English nor would they want to and it's not the language of the internet, it's the language of bullshit England and the bullshit anglosphere
3. Nostr is a great protocol if you want simplicity
4. SSH is much better for what? I don't see a connection
5. I don't know or care who will use my relay except I hope I'll live long enough to do so myself
6. What's all about the user demographic? Obviously there's a hopeful chance smart people will show up first but you can't control that so who really cares?
This would also allow cool features like a hypothetical "trusts all npubs in existence" slot in the list that you can click and drag to the top to override all reports and see everything unfiltered
That was the first thing I addressed tho - you do context by changing the rankings
They could be weights but rankings are easy to click and drag when changing, or a UI could represent weights as rankings with advanced settings to see the numbers for best of both worlds
Ideally something like a wiki client would remember your list for each wiki category, for example, so if you have wildly different lists for different topics you don't have to change them every time or switch npubs to switch lists
Disrupt your own vibe then please bro. Too cultish.
Doesn't sound good. I'd keep the relay functionality separate from Tor node functionality. The most integration they might need is a relay where the network interface it relies on is Tor (which is definitely one of the first relays that should be made under my model)
I agree with the majority of your criticisms here. I feel that nostr:npub1u5njm6g5h5cpw4wy8xugu62e5s7f6fnysv0sj0z3a8rengt2zqhsxrldq3's approach is the appropriate and potent solution.
Thank you for showing me where to discuss this, learning more now π
I skimmed the thread Vinney linked but I'm not understanding at all. What are these fields or the points of them? Why not just 1 field, which is either a priority ranking or a weight for each npub in your list, allowing the rest of the functionality to rely on well used indicators like follows, reports, likes, upvotes/downvotes?
The main difference would be as I just mentioned, a good nevent format. Language-neutral, none of this bullshit English bloat trying to aggravate targets of the American military industrial complex. In my design's case, it would be called "kind 1" and aggressively try to replace the original kind 1, though other designs don't need to do the same.
Another difference in my design's case is that my relays just relay. They don't have all this bloat legacy relays have. You probably wouldn't install one without a library or seeker or anything, but you could, and you can definitely change the one you're using without changing your library or anything. All the relay does is send binary input, receive binary output, index connections, maybe handle requests for its connection index, and, in the reference implementation, have a command line interface for dealing with all the input and output in text form.
(this reply is funny if you notice that I don't really follow anyone on this key)
I'm not interested in building functionality relying on legacy relays. Getting a good standard format for posts into widespread deployment should be higher priority for all nostr devs currently
I posted some thoughts, nobody's engaged yet -

My middle school made me stop jailbreaking the iPod touches and iPhones of other kids in school for a small fee
Now any cell carrier I try to use will constantly harass me, rob me, and deactivate my service all the time as punishment for being too woke and I can't even get phone calls without wifi anymore
Actually it tracks, it seems like a 180 but it's just that we "cop flak" even from the companies we pay for tech products
A better phrasing would be "tax collectors call spending selling"
Your phrasing implies they're not lying, which hurts your brain and the brains of your readers in a psychic way imo
This is an overarching problem across the English language (don't know about others)
If people were a little less shitty, Bitcoin adoption at retail establishments would be a bit faster and there would be no visa bullshit involved
That's still fast
Mine is like 15 and even that is fast
The end of that chart would be a great time for Saudi Arabia to drop the petrodollar π§
