yeah, the time scales are relatively long compared to human life but when the events are looming, there are many signs

i follow thet Space Weather guy on youtube, Suspicious Observers, and every day he drops lots of information relating to the looming disaster for our times, and it is Great Flood level, by all the information i have absorbed about it

on one hand i pray that Jesus literally will come and evac us to a safer place elsewhere, and on the other hand i'm plotting my move to high altitude, far-from-ocean spot (current favourite is Mongolia) and dreaming up plans for how that survival will actually be feasible

but before the big nasty oceans washing across most of the land stuff happens, there will be grid down, sattelites falling from the sky, and never mind WW3, yes there will be war really soon but that's gonna get cut short by this stuff in the next 15 years at the very longest timeline... there won't be much of a war without the tech, and once that all gets fried then they burn up their stock of materiel and most of the world's population has to live in the Steam age or die

one of the key themes in the Qur'an is the idea of a "warner" who comes to the people with a message from God that if they do not turn away from the corruption they have fallen into, that God will bring a deadly disaster

this happens in the Sodom and Gomorrah story, and the Tower of Babel story, and the Great Flood story, it is a theme throughout biblical texts, indeed you can say that Daniel performs the task of warner in his account as well

John the prophet, in his book, also is bringing a warning, and as you go through the text of Revelation, it is clear that some parts of it refer to events long past, but later parts, after about 16, refer to events yet to come

what this is about is quite simple and reasonable, actually

disasters happen on a semi-regular basis, and on longer timescales, the geological evidence is they are almost like clockwork, evey 6000 years a major, widespread catastrophe occurs, and less often, even more destructive catastrophes punctuate the normal rhythm

human society has a brittleness in it, that once corruption permeates through the fabric of society beyond a certain point, it is nearly impossible for it to be reformed, and this is where you your Sodom and Gomorrah and Babel and other similar situations

disaster is coming regardless of your opinion about how to "fix" society, and the reason why this is considered by biblical writers to be "from God" is that what it delivers is the actual effective reformation of human society

to end the corruption of a late stage empire, in a long lasting way, you have to destroy all of its large settlements, they literally have to be wiped out, only a tiny fraction of its population survives

this is also how the Babel "confusion of languages" occurred - many of the survivors of the earthquake/flood/volcanic eruption/hellstorm that destroyed the cities of the civilization, often are the small who get forgotten by their corrupted guardians trapped in some structure that survives the conflagration, and they emerge, and with their incomplete understanding of the language and history, grow up, find partners, have children, and pass on their incomplete stories and languages, creating this "confusion"

we are overdue for one of these now

the account in Revelation suggests that the fall of Babylon and Rome were just the warm-up, for a really big one that will see the legacy of the corruption in the modern era finally stamped out completely

it is just a fact of the nature of humans and the history is consistent as is the archaeology

there are a few of us Warners around in these times, and we will keep telling you that the reset is coming, but at some point we will be like Lot, no option any further to remain and no turning back, and our seed will continue but those who refuse to see the futility of fighting the corruption and the inevitability of the total collapse not just of the society but of the entire physical matrix that supports it, will be caught up in it

have fun losing your legacy

i'm making sure i help make one for the coming renewal and golden age

well if you feel like becoming obsessed with relays, im always on the lookout for contributors to relay.tools

github.com/relaytools/docs is the setup guide, i will soon be needing to add influx to the installer (im already using it but i want other relay hubs to have it also)

I've been working on an IoT project that involves handling around 2.5 million records monthly over the past 4 years (and scaling back to 2011). I'm using InfluxDB for raw values, MongoDB for cached data (with all data being cached per client requirements), and MySQL for metadata. The "core" of the project is a web app that I'm building with Angular, where all this data is displayed to end-users.

I'm also managing the communication between IoT devices and services via RabbitMQ, and handling all containers (Docker) for these services. The web server is nginx, dockerized, with a certbot container for certificate management.

There are additional microservices, all in C#, that handle various tasks like real-time caching, processing raw IoT data, and syncing metadata with an older system. I've also written several scripts in PHP and BASH, including a deployment script that builds the system from scratch.

Despite managing this complex ecosystem on top of maintaining other projects, my boss wants to add another project: developing an AI model for a solar energy company. I feel my contributions are undervalued and was unsuccessful in negotiating a higher salary, so I've started applying for new positions. However, applying for roles like "Angular developer" or ".NET developer" feels strange given my experience across so many technologies. I’m confident in my ability to excel in any role, though I expect a learning curve as I adjust to a narrower focus.

I recently learned about Nostr and, despite (or rather - because of) my current work, I'm interested in exploring development here. I have a background in cryptography and understand the basics, but I've never contributed to an open-source project and have primarily worked solo.

For anyone with experience in Nostr and/or open-source, where can I start? Any advice on how to effectively contribute to the community?

yeah its normal to get no response, for a variety of possible reasons.

there is no spoon feeding with nostr. but you need no permission.

communicate and build relationships, and community.

play with different clients. If you have feedback , raise issues on the repo.

get involved in the tg channels if you feel so inclined.

review the code. submit PRs.

There are many, many options. Be patient. Embrace the chaos. No one will tell you what to do here, so it’s totally up to you!

PLEASE SETUP YOUR LIGHTNING ADDRESS

Followed, I love primitive hiking and camping , not sure about naked though. Maybe one day 😎
