#danstr I feel like its either my birthday or I'm about to wake up from a long dream where I quit my job to became a nostr dev.

its an interesting journey they have been on. v1 used IPFS. v2 used Secure Scuttlebut. Now they are on version 3 which uses a custom gossip model.

2 years ago the Rad token was prominent and Etherium integration was under active development. For example in this video someone from Radicle tries to put a ownership attestation of a git repository onto the ETH chain but gas fees were $700 so they didn't have enough in their wallet.

There now appears to be no mention of etherium and Radicle "doesn't use nor depend on any blockchain or cryptocurrency"

Have you tried https://radicle.xyz? Did it work for you? Do you know how it works underneath? Should we stop the NIP-34 efforts and just adopt Radicle for decentralized code publishing and collaboration?

Funnily enough I just started talking with them this morning

It doesnt look like Alan Partridge has found his way into the hivemind of nostr. I can't believe this is the first time I have seen this clip in my feed today.

I now have this working for self-hosted gitea, forgejo and gitlab instances. Also for many hosted solutions eg bitbucket.org, sourcehut and lauchpad.net. It turns out that a lot of services redirect https://domain/repo/raw/HEAD/README.md to the raw file with CORS enabled.

Is this accurate? If so, I'm suprised about Portugal.

This is like the 'gitflow' model. Its useful in an enterprise context where there is alot of legacy code without automated test scripts. I say 'useful'; I'm not sure it really is. The business rarely carries out adequate manual testing so it creates a lot of headaches for little material benefit.

I like how we share stories with old friends which change, reshape and evolve with the passing of time. Like a wine in a barrow. Unfortunately some occasionally get oxidized.

I love the contrast between the European depiction of Jesus combined with eggs, the (presumably) European pagan symbol of new life adopted by Christians for easter and the African child with no shoes on; an awkward symbol of poverty.

Not so fast mistro. ngit only connects toblastrr when it needs to

I suppose relays are an evolution of the idea of seed nodes in P2P systems like torrents. nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 do you have any thoughts about a comparison between seed nodes and relays? Did the concept of seed nodes play heavily in your thinking when design the relay model?

I'm taking another look at the P2P github alternative radicle.xyz now that the first v1 release candidate is out. They put it quite well:

nostr:note1uvjvy0fs4rpfnk240p3vjkppsp0sqv6t3gsrkzntkn40wg4x59tqe6cxjw

relays are much more mature, as for example, there is a market place of paid relays.

These thoughts have stemmed from a conversation nostr:npub1896p07z8xngpct5ma00mdrad4gqfnwfwdqcl706wrm25ajynahhs27x5ge and I have been having.

I can't help but be drawn to P2P as a purer embodiment of the organic, bottom up way in which infectious things spread.

My logical brain jumps in and suggests the relay model is better.
