Dear Nostr,

As the days get shorter I've been trying my best to decelerate, to reduce, to cherish the simple things. Food. Water. Fire. Family. Health.

We take health for granted, until the hospital visit that rips our world apart. We take life for granted, until tragedy strikes and death is at our doorstep. "A healthy man has many wishes, a sick man only one."

But we still have today. The present. A gift.

For sure, a contained nostr deployment is a very good idea, like for a company.

Nostr in the wild though is scary, you've probably not ventured far out there yet. You mentioned sending messages. How about *direct* messages? There are like 12 different DM specs on Nostr. You right now have no idea how to DM me. If you send me a NIP-04 DM will it work? Maybe you should try a NIP-17 DM also, just to be safe. Or maybe try me on Keychat? Or maybe MLS on White Noise, I could be on that. Or Maybe double ratchet on IRIS. Try them all and maybe, just maybe, I'll get your DM.

that's good. but this wider nostr you're participating in, it's gotten crazy complex. "nostr is what you make of it" is a cop out. nostr is a thing in and of itself, and that thing in and of itself has ubercomplexificated out of control.

nostr is not complicated, are you kidding me? the devs that went crazy (which is like most devs pretty much), they didn't go crazy outside of nostr, in some sandbox, they did it inside, so you can't just pretend the result of all that craziness is some kind of optional add on. It's air pollution, it's everywhere, you can't not breath it in.

I hear you. My husband cuts my hair nowadays 😂

Buy with what?! At this point, I have to consider prostitution. 😂 I even reduced the haircuts from once a month to every three months. And no, I'm not joking. 🤣

There are a lot of people with such a wrong understanding of Nostr that it's hard to imagine these people like Nostr at all, given that the idea they have of what Nostr is is completely stupid.

No idea why, but x suspended me. I don't even post anything too controversial. Guess its only nostr here on out. #grownostr

They kind of just rug pulled the skin market for counter strike. I think people were actually committing suicide

Valve is doing for Linux what Block is doing for Bitcoin.

Linux-based gaming console and a VR headset are coming in 2026.

I never tried because every single time I looked for it, it was more expensive than the tickets. I'll take a look for the winter holidays, when the tickets are pricey, and see if they would be a better option.

If you have a route in mind, let me know.

Starting today, you can book SNCF tickets for January 9 to March 29.

I will present to you a sample route, but I might come back with other examples since I'm interested in a few more destinations.

Paris (Gare de Lyon) to Cannes

The journey begins at 08:22 and after 5h06m arrives in Cannes at 13:28.

The train has two more stops at no extra cost: Antibes (at 13:41) and Nice (at 14:06).

€19 for an adult, €8 for a child.

For us, two adults and a child, it costs €46, but I prefer to pay €3/adult extra to reserve the seats with a table on the upper deck. Kids' reservation is free, and on the lower deck is €7 for an adult.

Where am I

Idk why but I'm envious

didn't know you're supposed to wash dishes with the yellow soft side of the sponge.

just trying stuff out
