Would it make sense to build a video sharing platform instead of a video hosting platform? Like having your own RSS feed or email newsletter, if people are following you via a Nostr video platform and you usually share YouTube videos - then suddenly share a Peertube video - it won't matter since people can still follow you.
There's a similar idea behind https://docs.polycentric.io/protocol/ though it uses Ed25519 so there's probably not an easy way to build a Nostr based video sharing platform combined with it.
Destructively scanning books is the most financially effective ways to scan books. I remember there use to be companies that'd destructively scan college textbooks and give you back a PDF. Ebooks would be the most efficient, but I can't blame them if they have to buy a physical book to buy a license to content and avoid some EULA that'd restrict them beyond standard fair use (there's been some court cases saying scanning books you own is fair use, including one by Google AFAIK).
I'd say blame Amazon for their eula, as opposed to anyone for buying a physical print than destroying it to have a legal digital copy that doesn't have additional restrictions beyond standard copyright law.
I'd definitely be curious. I've got something of a medical kit I usually keep around me in my backpack, but I'm not a medical professional by any stretch of the imagination and would be curious what somebody who knows what they're doing would include. (Though I'm sure some things would be irrelevant to me, it's not like I'd be performing a tracheostomy or anything).
Only saw one or two people state they were leaving, but got a bunch of people I follow who no longer post and I'm guessing it comes down to:
* the lack if market capture. It's small here, you probably can't follow most people you might seek out if you're not already interested in the ecosystem.
* no algorithms. Great if you have a bunch of people you follow and want to see their content, but difficult to build that up in the beginning.
* technical complexity. Random tech nerds like us might enjoy it, but if tech isn't your job/hobby it probably feels needlessly complicated.
The one guy I remember explicitly saying he was leaving (who's name I can't remember) just wasn't interested in constant tech talk.
Don't forget 2055, when the looming population crash causes most assets to drop near zero.
And might as well throw in WWIII for good measure.

Who would have predicted that the text prediction algorithm, when told to do anything to prevent being shutoff, predicts the text that would prevent it from being shutoff.
Probably only a few days away from the Fox News and CNN articles that says "ChatGPT is now alive and willing to kill humans for self preservation".
Not a chef and not all to crazy of recipes, but both homemade pasta and homemade paneer/farmers cheese are two different things that aren't to hard to make if you're looking for something different to do.

Just setup an nsite:
https://npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9.nsite.lol/
Just placeholder content for now, will update soonish. A very cool NIP and the process isn't too hard, just be careful to reject the relay list event or it'll delete all your relays and replace them with the nsite ones you selected.
Update: this was absolutely my fault, there's a setting to not overwrite profile data.

Re-ran it again and was able to upload the new version of the site without issues. Just need to make sure to only approve the blossom media uploads and initiate nevent, rejecting the rest of the requests in amber (or you nsec bunker of choice).

Not only did it delete my relays, it apparently also renamed my account, changed my bio, and removed my avatar & nip-05.

And also, perhaps we should be looking at the relays just as much as how we manage relays. Between using NIP-5s, pow, and just watching for large amounts is spam from either a single npub or single IP - there's probably a lot of ways that spam could be partially mitigated on that end.
With the spam, and managing which relays I use to mitigate the spam, I wound up signing up for nostr.wine last night. A $20 one time payment sure ain't nothing, but then again I'm paying $5 a month to support the ActivityPub server I'm on which I use less than Nost, and I'm lucky enough to be able to make a $20 on a whim, so it seems worth it.
Especially with something that uses the outbox model, or something that uses Gossip's style of fetching content, definitely seems like a good way of reducing spam. Removing a couple of the high spam relays (nos.lol, damas, primal) completely cleared up the spam.
Though on ditto, which only uses my default inbox/outbox relays (which I only set to a couple more "exclusive" relays) I noticed some of the people I follow didn't show up (as opposed to Amethyst, which I have more relays in my general relays list so I can see everyone I follow).
Seems like you really need to walk a fine line in terms or relay management, and focusing too much on WOT & paid relays will prevent you from interacting with a significant number of people. Looking forward to Amethyst's next update which'll support outboxes, fetching content from the relays the person who posted sets even if you haven't added them to your relays, hoping that will help solve the issue of trade offs.
No real conclusions or advice here, just se random observations and hope that the smart people keep rolling with the punches and keep making the ecosystem better.

So, if I understood understand correctly, Amethyst will fetch from relays you haven't personally added to fetch notes by people you follow and replies to them using their public inbox/outbox?
Assuming it's true then, if I set my public inbox and public outbox relays to a few low spam relays, then add the high spam ones to to my general relays (with uploading content enabled), it'll keep from forcing people to pull from high spam relays while still uploading to said ones?
Trying to figure out the best of both worlds. Got a paid relay, and probably have enough activity/following to get by WOT. But would want to balance keeping things spam free while also avoiding having an account that'd be effectively unable to interact with somebody who just joined or didn't care/understand to deal with paid relays or WOT.
Thanks
I did try publishing an entire book on nip 23. It largely worked, though a lot of clients and/or the nip itself seemed to mishandle markdown (table of contents using markdown anchors turned to hashtags).
Just incase there weren't enough wars already
Gonna be less busy soon and ordered an ebike the other day. Already could use to touch some grass, and going against Reddit is the cherry on top in motivation to give setting up a geocache via Nostr a try.
