You aren't going to die of stress living there.
good for you. The Nostr scroll is so far from doomer it is ridiculous. There is just so much good info being swapped and shared. How much more actionable info can I absorb, that's the problem here.
This 1963 Deutz tractor runs on olive oil. Started with a mix of diesel but not necessary. No plug changes. Leaks in places, so a plentiful source of oil to drizzle over your ploughman's lunch. #olives #homesteading

Cool, but Sony is the camera to aim for. Thanks for helping me avoid the paradox of choice.
The relay owners who keep on selling data like Twitter fiat twats, aren't going to make it, as long as enough early adopters insist on a more correct path. Free to access shouldn't require giving up our soul to a fiat creep masquerading as a freedom fighter.
In this case, I really don't see anything wrong with some strongly worded, but simple agreement that flashes up by default when Nostr users connect to a relay.
"Our relay will not forward a single piece of data to any third party. If we do, we understand that when it comes to light, that is the swift end of our relay's existence on Nostr." End of guideline.
I presume, overall, that reflects the will of Nostr users?
To back it up, Nostr needs tools to monitor the potential central points of failure of ethos, and tools to make the community aware of those relays harvesting data.
It doesn't need to be anything subjective. Data in, no data out. If that isn't the case, up goes the red flag. If the cause of the data leaving the system was the FBI with a gun that's one thing. If it's anything else, adiós.
The community needs to demonstrate that there is more potential social benefits or income from being an ethical relay than a data snitch.
I'm not talking guideline theory here. I have seen it in practice in my former work life, where there were no legally enforceable rules, but plain speaking, this is how we roll in this business community.
If you don't think you can participate on this basis, don't bother joining, because when the network finds out a fellow member has been taking the piss, their connections and benefits here are toast. And the network will find out because we value what we have built up and we aren't going to let our values slide, because those core values are all we have to differentiate ourselves from the rest.
Guidelines help those users in a weak moment, all of us at some point in time, to process the repercussions of saying one thing and doing another for purely selfish ends. Some rules but no rulers.
My tuppence worth. With no technical smarts to know how far relays can be monitored.
Before finding Bitcoin, I didn't know enough to hate fiat but since entering the workplace in 1981, I knew in my bones there was something very wrong with the fundamentals.
Who knew, 1981 was the year the US debt first hit one trillion bucks. Since then, the cause of my fundamental angst about "what the hell sort of wierd game are we all playing?" has just rolled on and on gathering more debt and more reasons to not participate.
Tremendo, very easy and looks good and the gravy... it schedules posts too
Walking on gravel tells you a lot about your gait. That's all. GN
If #canada calls, you can have your smoke back love from Spain 
The only fake news here is the Madrid town hall saying there are no health side effects.
If there's one thing living in mountains does for you, it's growing accustomed to fresh air, and noticing very easily a drop in air quality. I just walked up through this and can feel my bronchials wheezing
The truth, definitive truth is a hard one because it appears from extensive studies that we create our own reality as a coping mechanism.
Even if we completely dismiss any scientific study, just look around. We say it out loud all the time ..in my view.
Visitors to my area see beautiful olive trees on immaculate ochre terracing. From my perspective, I see an eco disaster of unfathomable proportions. Probably the "truth" is somewhere in the middle but neither view is wrong.
I certainly don't believe the seafarer who still hasn't fallen off the edge of the disc, no. I suppose the earth could be a disc that is permanently going downhill, which is one way of interpreting the view from an aeroplane.
Ruight on, fella.
Scheduling is a useful feature indeed. I gave shipyard a spin, had a few misfires working it out but it is a good writing tool as far as writing online goes.
For me, I have to be disciplined and write up anything of consequence offline first. Too many past mishaps.
Did you hear the one about the cruise ship captain who thinks the earth is flat?
That's not a joke 🤣 And definitely not something my brain is capable of making up.
No espresso to tar coat your tongue with?
Still better than my efforts. I use entry level smartphones so don't hold much hope for award winning night shots.
Instead of spending bucks on a smarter phone, which I'm bound to break, is there such a thing as an idiot proof digital SLR or whatever a real camera is called, for say 100€ second hand that I can connect to my mac on special occasions?
#nostronly that's a good hashtag.
Just been explaining why I'm launching a new business and Nostr is going to be my only social media platform.
Simple. I don't want to go slowly mad on the mental madhouse that is mainstream social media.
And I don't need to reach a gazillion people online from day one anyway.
To drum up customers for my egg business, I need 100 max, (restaurants, bars, general public mix) I need to go the direct route, knocking on local doors, local businesses. It is doable in rural Spain. That's how it works best, because people like to know who they are buying from. Handing over a few sample eggs doesn't hurt the cause either.
And because Nostr is way more than social media, I want to integrate as many Nostr apps into my web based workflow. For instance, the day before a delivery I message the customers. Currently its going to be a Whatsapp, because everyone in Spain is on Whatsapp. But I dont need to Whatsapp everyone in Spain, just my customers. So if they are on Nostr, I should be able to message a bunch of people from what, Nostrchat or some other Whatsapp killer.
To persuade my customers to join Nostr, just offer a running 5% discount. I can set them up on Nostr on the spot. Message them to show it works.
If it's meant to be, my general Nostr reach to the wider world should grow as Nostr grows too.
That's one to hug #trees
