Good company. Good #coffee

Happy New Year! This place called #nostr is integral to the future in breaking the bonds of centralized control of information and (what is) #money

Keep at it! Thank you all for being here. Let’s change the world!

Replying to Avatar Gigi

It's at a point now where it's almost impossible for me to use the "regular" internet. I can't access half the sites. The reason? I care about my digital hygiene and thus use a VPN. Sometimes switching to a different VPN or switching the country of the VPN works; other times it does not. Oh well, I guess I'm not going to watch that video, or read that article, or look at that picture. Whatever.

In addition to that, if I'm not blocked completely, I have to prove that I'm human every step of the way. Captchas, re-captchas, Cloudflare checkboxes, the whole shebang. I am human. I promise. And I am very annoyed. Outright angry, even. I doubt that any robot will ever be as annoyed as I am right now about the current state of the internet.

What annoys me most, actually, is that all these measures don't really work. There's bots everywhere. Robots get access to the stuff anyway, using farms of humans, just like in the good old days of WoW gold farming. The centralized "safety" nets of Cloudflare et al brought down large swaths of the internet multiple times in the last couple of weeks alone, and as things centralize more and more these outages will happen more and more.

I'm very close to breaking up with the legacy internet. I'm human, I can cryptographically prove that I'm human, and I have sats to spend. But the legacy internet doesn't care about that. It cares about farming me and my data, while annoying me to no end. I've been nostr only for a while now, but that was only on the "social media" side. 2026 might be the year where I go nostr-only for everything, or to phrase it slightly differently: permissionless for everything.

No more "are you human?"

No more "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."

No more cookie banners, paywalls, and AI slop.

No more being treated like a child.

Even if it means that I'll have to self-host everything.

Even if it means that I'll have to build & maintain stuff myself.

Even if it means that it's a lot of work and pain.

Nothing worth having ever comes easy.

But the easy stuff is not worth having in the first place.

Here's to the year to come, and the new corner of the internet, build on cryptography and webs-of-trust. Real value. Real connections. Real humans.

Here's to nostr.

Well said Gigi. Thank you.

β€œHow do you measure success?”

β€œThe value of the work.”

It’s been a fascinating few years personally. Time has accelerated for me. Deliberate and drastic change has been instituted across all aspects of my life. I have forced myself to evaluate and change thoughts beliefs and methods held for half a lifetime.

Along the way I gave up social technology and examined what enlightened and inspired me so long ago.

I hope this place called Nostr succeeds. Or evolved to the principles of its inception.

May you take each and every remaining day with meaning, purpose, and to the good of all. May you know your true self early in this life and not diverge. May you know your inspiration and purpose and not settle. May you be well.

Feel ya. Somehow I thought integrating a valid CA signed email client configuration would be a good use of time recent' ish. Never again πŸ˜‚

And then we splurge and eat well. #runstr

The section quoted below is poorly worded. The feature was improperly designed/deployed if it exposed the email in the browser that the password reset was sent to. But thank you for the quick disclosure.

Perhaps use this as a teaching moment on #nostr responsible disclosure of #security issues from the community. Incentivize it with a Bitcoin bug bounty in the future.

Alby is still a fundamentally valuable service for me personally.

" ... publicly exposed by their owner.

Password request emails also have been requested for lightning addresses which falsely exposed the user's email address. This had been a feature deployed to help users keep easy access to their accounts. But as many users post their lightning address on profiles like nostr this should not be exposed and a fix has been deployed immediately. Generally there should be no way to display a user's email address. We have failed here. About 5500 password reset emails had been requested by the attacker.

This went well. Nutrition was on point. No issues. 50K train next week. Less than month out to taper for 100K. #runstr

One of the best software / UX stacks and ergo perfected simplistic remotes I've experienced.

Even with those that are "technical" in my profession, Ive found only 1 that matches me on this passion. I feel ya. Not a solution to carbon based unit interactions. But this discord is a great resource: https://discord.gg/home-operations

APs cabled and mounted / secured in the new home. Cat 6a shielded is a tough medium to manipulate. Keystone jacks make life easy. I've sufficiently dusted off the cob webs of data center cabling days of ol. Hard wired for the long haul future. Enterprise 10 gb capable / PoE with HA 1gb fallback port investment. I hope to not physically touch these babies for at least 10 / 15 years.

Thank you nostr:nprofile1qqs9336p4f3sctdrtft2wlqaq5upjz9azpgylhfd3dplwf005mfrr9spzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj7spz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kueg6g89xw - This is beautiful presentation of such seminal work. Honored to be a recipient.

A different but equal beauty present today. I thoroughly enjoy running long in the rain and the accompanying solitude that keeps the masses indoors. #runlong #runstr

The Dude abides. I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. It’s good knowin’ he’s out there, the Dude, takin’ her easy for all us sinners.

Thanks for the zaps! #alby hub is quite impressive. Good work devs!

Testing #alby hub new setup. I would appreciate a small zap.

So sorry Gigi. Thank you for sharing your thoughts in writing. May you heal and be well over time, as you process such a great loss in your life.
