Just been fighting a virus/malware situation on my computer.
I went to post some comments on VirusTotal but my long comment explaining how to handle it was rejected, maybe it was too long.
I've posted it on my gitbook website.
(Yeah I know I know, it's regular server-based internet)

Is there really no firewall software that blocks everything by default and pops up to ask you for permission each time a new app tries to connect outbound for the first time?
ok I'm looking for some software that automatically force-expires all session tokens for all logged-in accounts on my computer.
Malicious cracked software that steals session tokens is becoming increasingly common.
Does this exist? Can it be programmed? Can a session token be identified as active or expired?
((Yes, I do steal Adobe's and others' software. No, most creative workers around the world cannot afford their ridiculous licensing fees.))
Just opened Nostr and found a bunch of chill replies from a bunch of chill people. Heartwarming, not a feeling I've felt from social media in... Years..since the g+ days actually. Could be because the stuff I post on social media is not marketable, dopaminergic or otherwise algorithm-satiating, so my meaningful posts never gain any reach. Anyhoo, here it is nearly 2am so I'm off to sleep, GN Nostr (and Threads) 🥰 will read and reply to you all tomorrow — in the Lunar New Year! 😴💤
Chúc mừng năm mới mọi người! 🏮🧧🎇
How do I connect my existing Nostr ID to my Alby account?
It seems that it just creates a new Nostr ID and I can't find any way to add this Nostr ID to it.
Seems somewhat useless if that's the case...
I have a degree in biological sciences, with a focus on ecosystem science and genetics.
I'm here for us to discuss real ways of rebuilding the world regarding our dependence on electricity, sources of energy generation, our dependence on plastic, alternatives to plastics (for reducing plastic waste and also reducing oil requirements), and stuff like that.
environmentalism, ecosystem defence & protection, integration with nature, stuff like this.
I'm aware that the reality of this goes directly against the oil companies and most governments.
I want to find, connect with, and create a group (or groups), for focussed development of solutions for our climate problem.
We will do research projects like: data research; meta reviews (reviewing & comparing other research articles); primary research; multi-region research.
We will do other projects like: data analysis; data visualisation (thinking about tools like Microsoft Fabric, and maybe animation like Blender/etc).
We'll also have a focus on how to gather more people, how to train people to be scientific in mentality and approach, how to create articles and media that attracts people and educates people regarding sustainable practices and sustainable alterations to the fabric of our current civilisation.
We need to replace things like fossil fuels and plastic, and we need to stop destroying all the natural habitats and forests.
Hey Derek! Cool to see you here! Looks like you've been in the Nostr space for a while! I only just found it yesterday. I'm living in Viet Nam now and the people here are fairly quiet politically cos they just kinda accept that they're potentially under surveillance at all times. I'm setting up some intro materials to help them get set up on alternative networks, and Nostr seems to be the simplest one to get going on.
So we can crosspost from OpenVibe app, to Nostr, Threads, Blue sky and Mastodon at the same time! Tres cool
Yo hi! I usually post things about linguistics, science, biology, environmental science, health, and recently, some stuff on numbers. I'm an advocate for freedom of communication, but I've been busy with other things and have only just discovered Nostr.
I'm a bunch of things but I mainly focus on environmental science, training people into becoming scientists, and an array of aspects about communication. A strong future for humanity and life depends on good community and good communication. I accidentally became a linguist, and I've made a few alphabets, my latest one is called NewEng and it does a good job of encapsulating both English pronunciation & its accents, and English etymology.
I'm looking forward to connecting with other likeminded folk on here. It already feels great to be able to post here in the knowledge that this data is not inside Meta (etc) and cannot be controlled, suppressed or banned by them.
Totally agree, this is why I could never get onboard with Mastodon. The structure is unreliable.
Just finding out about the whole nostr etc networks now. Been looking for this kind of thing for a while but not many things had much traction... Now may be a better time because of the recent tiktok events in the USA, people are realising what's up and are looking for alternatives. Imagine if we get a sizeable majority using decentralised, uncensorable social networking.
