Random person on the internet. I sometimes blog or work on projects I might talk about here. Made a hacked together Python client for Nostr, ActivityPub, & AT: https://github.com/0n4t3/nipy

nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6, I run a Peertube instance (https://moderndaywizards.org). Is there a way to get my user's new videos to post on Nostr automagically?

I've been working on a github repo that catalogs a bunch of different ways to follow things cross platform (including Nostr), thought it was on topic enough to spam a link https://github.com/0n4t3/followanythinganywhere

But yeah in that case it just boils down to either using an RSS > Nostr bridge like above or the Mostr Activity Pub <> Nostr bridge.

Did the good ol' to pay the government for a stamp in order to mail a check to pay the government.

I did a bunch of troubleshooting and I think I figured out how to share a playlist from my computer to phone and vice versa with VLC. Say you have a music folder on your computer, then have songs in sub folders and you create a playlist. Use the m3u8 format, open it in a text editor, and you should find lines like "file:///home/user/music/artist/song.mp3" and if you find and replace "file://home/user/music" with a period (".") and place the plalist file in the music directory the playlist goes from using absolute locations to relative locations and you can copy your music directory to other devices without the playlists breaking.

I'm not sure if this would help anybody or not, but it it sure helped me a lot and I'm not aware of any way to do local files in VLC directly so I figured I'd share this. #music #vlc

Posting Here From Nostr

I wanted to see if I can post to Lemmy from Nostr after reading a post about it: https://princecanute.medium.com/nostr-for-a-mastodon-user-and-interoperability-492bcf7f0377. If you're seeing this on the Lemmy side it appears to have worked, and if so it's super cool to see open protocols play so nicely. Using Mostr I had no issues subscribing the the community from here so fingers crossed :)

@nostr@lemmy.world

Happy new year everybody!

Neat!

And here I originally thought I was getting in towards the tail end at no. 145, you really brought a lot of people together with this project

I'd also add, for anybody interested in setting things up, is that if you own your own domain (~10$ a year) you can set up a website for free. There's a plethora of options, but something like a static site via Hugo/Jekyl/Static WordPress hosted on Github pages is easy to get setup and a great way to have your own space.

Also, being on Nostr, you own your own account via cryptographic key pairs too and it's bridged to the fediverse as well.

Is it possible with nostr:npub1rky9qeplwklrsezde4nrzy4qqtr0fasvhhauqdjrd8ej44uxerfqjn0xq2 to follow the public timeline of an instance that you're not a member of?

e.g. i'm not on front-end.social, but if i want to follow their public feed — https://front-end.social/public/local — somewhere in Ivory, can i do that?

Fedilab can follow an instances public timeline

I just did a #blog post about Firefox and it's decline if anybody is interested. It's largely just a collection of complaints that I've accrued over the years, spurred on by Bryce Wray's post I shared a while back. I'd love to hear feedback on it if you have any since it's more of an opinion piece and most of the stuff I talk about can probably be interpreted in multiple ways. Also, it's worth pointing out that being one large complaint it's perhaps a little more negative towards #Mozzilla and #Firefox than my overall position is on them just by nature of only focusing on the bad to critique some stuff I (as a layman) think could have been done differently.

If you're more for listening to #audio then reading I also created a TTS version that you might be able to listen to within your Nostr client: https://nate.mecca1.net/assets/firefox_brink.mp3 Consider it a really lazy single episode podcast.

Last, if you havn't read it yet I would reccomend also checking out "Firefox on the Brink" by Bryce Wray listed below:

It's probably a good thing today that it's usually just me at work, it just dawned on me the little sandwich bag with a couple teaspoons of loose leaf green tea could draw some suspicion in a workplace that's not so fond of weed

So, I did a little digging and this doesn't seem as bad as it sounds. From the sounds of the hacker news thread looks like the company bandwidth was passing along a notice from T-Mobile that handles corporate things and this would only effect ad campaigns and cororate mass messages. So while a corporation could get a "fine" for advertising liqour in a marketing campaign, this policy has no effect on your standard cell phone customer.

Can't be 100% sure that this is fact since it's just "some people are saying it on social media" kind of a reference, but it makes sense espcially since it's being shared by a third party company that works on that sort of stuff.

I usually disable JavaScript for news sites, which gets around most paywalls. It's really handy, but probably means I've shared plenty of paywalled articles while forgetting they're paywalled across my internet experience.

I definitely agree that it's not something to be too worried about. Anything on the fediverse or adjacent to it is already going to be making local copies of remote profiles, but it's all public info (no fear of private info being geabbed, like with an email provider), and if meta can't serve us ads or control the servers that we're on then there's really not much to lose.

Especially being a Nostr user who's being bridged to the fediverse myself, I think interoperability has a lot to bring and it'll hopefully be pretty beneficial to everybody.

It depends, if you have (the sandboxed version of) Google Play services installed on it then it'll handle push notifications just like on any other device. If it's not installed some apps (e.g. Signal) can run in the background and check for updates on their own, some apps can work with your own push notifications server (such as setting up a UnifiedPush setup), and some apps just won't get notifications if they don't support the latter two.

Somebody spammed @ notifications and it appears everybody with Element open crashed.

Looks like Duolingo uses Google services to recognize speech. My best guess would be to try the web browser version, otherwisee not sure if there's a way to use the app without g services (or at least Google speech services).
