I create Fediverse software that empowers people online. I'm vegan btw. Note: If you have a question for me, please tag me publicly. This gives the opportunity for others to chime in, and bystanders to learn.

If me and Gargron are the same person, how do I tuck him into bed at night ?

Nostr fixes this.

You can `fetch('file:///opt/ditto/.env')`. Functions like `mediaProxy(url)` and `fetchObject(activitypubId)` would be potentially affected.

Been dreaming about maybe trying Bun after seeing Deno bake in security vulnerabilities on purpose. Anyone know if Bun devs are also nuts? It's written in based Zig instead of cringe Rust.

The hate is because Primal is too good too fast and, and does so by doing things others are unwilling to do because it compromises the purity and ethos of the Nostr network. The arguments about today's thing are mostly invalid projections due to feelings of jealousy and unfairness. I'm not taking a side, I'm just telling you because I've seen this pattern.

Exactly. This is what Mastodon does for trends and I copied it in Ditto. It counts the pubkey usages, not total usages.

I want to build an alien programming language where you create "functions" not files. Functions can have multiple tags, and this all gets stored in a binary format.

Can't even deny it. See you in Boston.

> You always need to relay on a centralized hack to make them work.

how is relying on nostr relays (centralized) any different?

my point here is that if this were to actually take off the current arrangement wouldn't scale. right now you're free loading on donated bandwidth. in a sustainable scenario you'd have to pay specific relays to host your stuff for you (ie serve as a low latency CDN) and hint clients to query those first

at that point I have to wonder, why not just do exactly the same thing but with something like IPFS?

Nostr and IPFS are similar in that they both use content IDs. I think the network layout is different tho. IPFS does hops or something. Files take 10 minutes to load or not at all. When you host a file, nobody copies it.

Nostr works a lot better for sharing content, as long as the events are small enough and can be represented as text. It will get replicated and served relatively quickly.

I don't think it should ever be a general purpose "drive". But it might make sense to store some types of text files on it, and there are probably interesting ways it could be used we haven't discovered.
