I'm thinking a bit more about how to bridge to the Fediverse. One of the problems is that ActivityPub doesn't use public keys for identity. Instead it relies on a URI, and so ultimately on the https certificate of the instance owner.

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#actors

This means that, when seen from the Nostr side, there could be multiple copies of the same Fediverse user, depending on which bridge their messages went across. And it's non-trivial to verify the original message wasn't tampered with by the bridge (though anyone can do so, by comparing).

So we could propose additional an optional public key to the standard. It would allow folks to sign their own message and would give Fediverse folks a unique identifier, independent who builds the bridge to Nostr.

But:

1) Changing a standard is work and could take years

2) Even with a public key in place, and even assume it's a curve Nostr clients can deal with, ActivityPub message are probably signed in some particular way, different from regular Nostr posts. So Nostr clients would still need special-case handing for this.

It should not require my nsec. It could store my DMs, but I can decrypt them elsewhere.

Is anyone working on a good backup command-line tool? At minimum it should store my own posts. It should also fetch images.

Finally I'd like it to somewhat intelligently fetch conversations. E.g. if I replied, get all posts up to the root. But then ideally fetch a bit more.

It should work incrementally: every time I run the command it never deletes anything, but does add new stuff it finds.

Oh and many store a list of all npubs:

1. That I follow (and follow me) as of the latest backup

2. That I ever followed (or followed me)

Then I run that as a cron job and sleep much better.

Anway, was trying to tag npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8

Mmm, this looks completely wrong on Amethyst.

When rebase? :-)

I suspect most miners will not touch their settings for less than €100K expected profit. It seems safe to me, but any time you mess with your setup something (unrelated) could go wrong. So this may take a while.

And - if the law requires it - they'll also send your full dossier and personal details over to law enforcement. Maybe they don't open a case on you, but now you're "in the system" and find yourself stopped and frisked more often. It's not as bad as swatting in the US though.

Same as with banks: de-risking is the key to keeping this cheap. If someone doesn't like you, they mass report you and the company just closes your account. Presumably there's only fines if a company fails to act and no damages have to paid for false positives.

EU going full Stasi here, every citizen encouraged to report their (digital) neighbors.

"Users will be able to report illegal content easily and platforms have to process such reports diligently"

Companies that comply with this deserved to utterly drowned with fake reports.

Ah looks like some DSA stuff is indeed kicking in earlier than 2024: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Services_Act

The EU has enough bad real laws there should be no need to make up fake ones.

In practice indeed.

Ik heb zelf een dynamisch tarief voor stroom, maar veel mensen willen voorspelbare energiekosten. Feitelijk kopen ze daar een complex financieel product voor. Energieleveranciers zijn eigenlijk gewoon een soort hedgefondsen / verzekeraars. Misschien zouden ze zich meer zo moeten profileren. VanDeBron doet nu alsof zij de lasten van de netbeheerder op hun schouders hebben.

I guess there's different degrees of intention. This might be like someone driving to a party and, while still sober, deciding to binge drink and drive back home afterwards. After also deciding that fixing the lights can wait.

It's not unintended if people warned about it in advance, but I don't know if that happened - I don't follow Canada that much.
