My wife's wiper fluid was pouring out of the bottom of the car when refilled after some body work right where the reservoir is housed (hit something on the interstate). She took it back in. Three techs (we were told) couldn't find a leak. Cool.

I just went to refill it and found it leaking everywhere. It took me two fucking minutes to figure out the problem.

What the fuck is going on out there? Three 'professionals' and not one had enough brain power to figure out what was going on?

TWO FUCKING MINUTES. Yet another item on my list to just fix myself.

‘Practice without theory is nothing.’

We can't fix all the broken things Nostr is trying to fix while at the same time being afraid of offending some misguided prejudices of so-called "normies" (who are never actually called into the debate themselves, by the way -- and of course they can't be, since at the time they get to the point where they can have an opinion they're by definition not "normies" anymore).

All devices should have unlockable bootloaders. They don't block you from installing another OS on the new computer you bought, a phone should be no different.

XD

I've tried it on iOS. Could be useful eventually, but doesn't work yet, loses messages when disconnected instead of delivering them at the next opportunity. Also, when you message a contact, there's no notification.

The new nostr-based chat intended for when your contact isn't BT-reachable only seems to work when the app is on screen, and there are no notifications either.

Unusable.

if you cant say no, it’s theft.

The Bank Secrecy Act requires existing actors to file around 27.5 million reports a year. Even if requiring stablecoin issuers to do similar reporting doubled the number of reports, then that's still a fraction of the 200 billion digital transactions Americans make each year.

I don't like either scenario. But that's a big difference in terms of state surveillance.

BREAKING: Only 5.3% of total #Bitcoin supply left to be mined. 🤯

just any job at this point

i actually wouldn't mind eating twice a day

The real open source was in the 80s, when magazines would print the game for you to type at home. They even developed typing assistants that could checksum every line for typos.

If they were really worried about green energy they would try to harness power from Orwell spinning in his grave.

That has to be 50-100 coal power plants we could shut down tomorrow easily.

Will you share the setup and use cases then?

I went through this some years back. People still ask occasionally.

"Matt, didn't you study IT?"

"Nope. Computer science is different."

"Oh."

Works every time lol

I recently had to draw a line at work. I'm paid for my medical skills, not the IT ones. Call IT. Same goes for average people. Hit the tubes, bud.

yeah, it's how Tor provides hidden services. there are also old systems for that like STUN and TURN. they solve the problem of so many clients on the internet not having inbound addresses or firewalls configured to drop inbound connections that you can't enable routing

yeah, the current problem is mostly that client devs see it as some kind of version of twitter. this completely ignores so many of the unique capabilities that come from a decentralised post office/pubsub/rendezvous protocol

NWC is a great example of how a substantial utility comes from leveraging, specifically, the rendezvous capability. this capability can be used as an interconnect between servers (like NWC does) but it can also be used to create real time collaborative workspaces, nobody has done that yet, but the potential is there.

It's LD50 option? 🤣

Sodsereš?👀😅

hey yeah uh where did the mempool go

idk, i'm pretty happy with alby hub. there's been a few issues over the last year but many times it was just to do with their choice of using LDK C++ node. seems like that has passed now.

You only need:

- qBittorrent

- MullvadVPN

- VLC player
