How do I make liver taste tolerable?
Trying to play the devilās advocate here, maybe it can make some sense if youāre rolling out multiple deployment environments and want to be able to reuse the build and canāt lookup env vars for whatever reason.
And/or if you donāt 100% control the oauth server and it has some arbitrary BS which forces rotation of the client secret that wouldnāt align with your release cycle (?)
I think I fill the āfunctional schizoā checkbox, not sure about the other stuff though š¤£
I have some Erlang experience from working in an IoT automation and telemetry product.
The RF protocol was proprietary and it was handled by spawning a gen_statem (refactored from gen_fsm) process per product in the mesh network. It was simple but effective.
Would be so cool if progressive images worked, I suppose they could bring data usage down? Like if the app cloud halt downloading the image once it has enough pixels to be āgood enoughā given the size of the container theyāre being displayed (and resuming the download if the user zooms in and stuff).
Have you documented the issues you are facing somewhere?

Iām one of those weirdos whom alcohol just doesnāt work the way itās supposed to lol
Like it makes me more focused, less anxious and stressed out, to the point that itās just not worth drinking more than a few sips in social gatherings.
Also, for about a year I had to take a shot of Whiskey in the morning to ease the pain of dealing with stupid coworkers.
Itās kind of sad that I canāt seem to have fun with alcohol (other than making drinks and fancy stuff) like normal people do but instead have it as some sort of ātoolā.
Of course if I drink too much I will just black out like anyone else, but itās mostly āBallmer Peakā overall.
Unless youāre on Damus android pulling notes from nearby peers, or connecting to a tor relay orā¦
My point is nostr doesnāt halt without DNS, contrary to other protocols which tie DNS into user accounts.
I donāt think itās fair game to say nostr relies on DNS.
Itās not like matrix, activity pub and all that federated crap where identities are tied to server names.
We just happen to connect with relays to send and fetch notes, that more often than not do have a DNS.
And we have people building P2P experiments with nostr, which further proves the point.
As for self hosting a server, or even worse, needing to rely on somebody else to do that for you, doesnāt seem like a barrier most people would be willing to climb.
I personally think that some sort of automated arrangement of micropayments could suffice to incentivize bringing up more relays and funding āanonymousā ops, without bringing too much cognitive load onto end users.
See nostr:npub1h0uj825jgcr9lzxyp37ehasuenq070707pj63je07n8mkcsg3u0qnsrwx8 stamps for example.
If you consider that thereās a point where it becomes unreasonable to keep cramming features into a single app from both UX and development perspectives, and also that nostr is flexible enough to be the engine of multiple platforms, then it shouldnāt be unreasonable to think everyone would end up having more than one ānostrā app.
Even some simple case of having one app for notes and another for chats would be enough to match that criteria.
I never seen any other community like this.
Itās fascinating to see that, contrary to many other ācommunitiesā, where thereās some sort of stigma going off some sort of āupstream convention lawsā and end up with one or two guys trying to hammer the same nail in slightly different ways, here on nostr it seems thereās an endless stream of creativity and willingness to attempt even the wildest of ideas, and in multiple ways.
And honestly Iāve ran out of fingers to count how many people and projects are building on ideas that align so well with things I have been cooking on the back of my head for years.
Granted I am kind of procrastinating getting my hands dirty but this community is so damn efficient.
Some day ago, another guy fixed an issue I was looking into before I could even clone the repo of thar project š¤£
Nostr is just built different. This is not your average āopen soresā community.
This is proof that order emerges from chaos, not the other way around.
It seems like youāre headed in a good direction but then itās no longer a drop in replacement, right?
I was referring to projects that aim to provide a Google Play Services reimplementation that can be just dropped in place, which doesnāt require any changes to make existing apps work. And thatās the approach that I think would lead to centralization.
Still, I think itās important for OS developers to ensure that, to be able to let the device sleep as long as possible, they should provide app developers with APIs that would allow the OS to effectively āsyncā background tasks so theyāre executed simultaneously, resulting in a shorter timeframe where the device is woken up.
Then it shouldnāt matter all that much if you have multiple apps delegating this work to one or few other push provider apps, like it was proposed by another guy in this thread, or if you have many apps fetching individually.
What I found out is that our devices are damn fine at sleeping but once you do need to wake up, you better ensure youāre making use of every milliwatt āwhile youāre at itā, and synchronized timers work for both reducing the wakeup count and overall time spent at this higher energy state.
#asknostr Insurance: Friend or Foe?
Assuming a #bitcoin economy with minimal fiat induced distortions, maybe think about bitcoin circular.
From a customer perspective, do you think insurances are a fraud?
And from a business standpoint, do you think it is possible to make a healthy, profitable insurance company?
Is insurance a flawed concept that canāt possibly work (without shenanigans) or could it be the case that, just like eCash made ābanks great againā (yes Iām calling mints banks, deal with it), insurance could be done in a way that benefits both sides?
Fuck me I always forget how to spell ātimer coalescingā (and probably always mispronounce it).
Seems like a good opportunity for de-googled Android forks to work on.
As appealing as a gapps drop in replacement sounds, it would lean towards a not-google but still centralized alternative.
Yeah it would be good to have some sort of standard so clients could show payment options from within their interface.
I am not very found of NWC into relays because of the not so subtle ācommitmentā to a specific set of relays.
If we think about nostr as a p2p protocol (because permissionless npubs and such), relays should be āmere conciergesā, so maybe the client should arrange relay payments in the background for the user instead (you already have a wallet setup for sending zaps after all).
As for nostr21, I had some heisenbugs but the payment went through. Turns out it was showing me the wrong relay url in some places of the UI: wss://nostr21.nostr21.com instead of just wss://nostr21.com.
Ah yes, the four gendersā¦
Thatās a valid point. Butā¦
āHowever the amount of money that dedicated spammers can earn from spamming the network is almost always more than what a user in a less developed country can pay to take part in the same network. And sometimes a user in a more developed country too.ā
Thatās a pessimistic assumption.
- PoW needs not to be ever increasing, this is not a blockchain
- the point of PoW/MP(micropayments) is not to eliminate spam altogether, there will always be a point of diminishing returns to increasing prices/difficulty
- maybe itās worth to define what exactly we mean by spam: is it the flood of undesirable content? As seen on early bitchat geohashes? Is that annoying person begging for money once on random posts? Should we consider synthetic FUD funded by some sort of elite as spam? Etc
- PoW/MP is a viable way to, at the very least, rate-limit spammers in such permissionless/p2p/distributed systems, but it canāt stand alone
- ultimately we (IT) have come to the conclusion that security should be implemented in layers because annoying the attacker until either he gives up or some alarm rings is better than investing in one giant āimpenetrableā layer. So thereās no shame in combining WoT with some sort of bootstrap list along PoW and common sense
Now itās my personal opinion that MP is better than PoW, not only because it removes friction from end userās devices but also because it can be an effective way to fund infrastructure. In this case, a wave of flood spam could turn into funding to develop better spam protections š¤£
But still, I think youāre right to think about the impact of well funded bad actors, though I donāt think they are usually called spammers.
Hot singles in your WoT š
Arenāt there plenty of public relays? Also pretty sure you can host a relay on a VPS that accepts #bitcoin
And iOS is the rage quit.
Ccanāt keep itself from OOM killing every single app in background, even if you have switched apps 5 seconds ago. Ffs

Do you expect to bring this into iOS too?
I think the Yggdrasil app for iOS makes use of mDNS and/or AWDL so you effectively mesh using Bluetooth for discovery and WiFi for data traffic, even if devices are not connected into the same WiFi network.
This is the way ā”ļø

Ah so thatās the meaning of the name of this client.
Nah, JPEG XL is the best solution for images. Since it has progressive compression, we just need clients to halt the file download once the image reaches the desired resolution (and resume the download if the user decides to zoom the image).
Works for feed images too and you donāt get generation loss if the original image is jpeg.

If I had burn to money I would have two phones, one running āReal Linuxā and iPhone as the ānormie lifeā.
I donāt see myself going back to Goolagās Android.
In most cultures historically, children lived with or near family until marriage - often in multi-generational homes where land, resources, and care were shared.
The idea that individual self-sufficiency is a virtue is a Western invention. Hyper-individualism frames staying connected as weakness. Moving out at 18 fragments families, piles on financial and emotional strain, and locks young adults into the hamster wheel of debt.
There shouldnāt be stigma around staying or returning home. This is the modern village!
Even if your family dynamics arenāt perfect, you still have the chance to rewrite the story ā and create stronger foundations for the generations to come. š

I really want to agree with this one but thereās another reason other than pride for fleeing your parents house early, sometimes the environment can really hold you back, to say it lightly.
Some people say that happy, rich families are all the same but each of the poor ones are fucked up in unique ways and I guess this thought applies here.
No money in the world can pay for peace of mind mind but still, getting trapped in the hamster wheel isnāt fun either.
Getting rid of the poor mindset out of older generations can be tough or outright impossible.
I donāt think thereās an easy answer here, honestly.
Use Tinder for work and Linkedin for hookups. Become ungovernable.
Funny thing, I forgot that the proper translation to lan house is cyber cafĆ©, so yeah, I didnāt bring my PC over some friendās place either because they had dial up just like me š¤£
I also remember the cyber cafĆ©s would run at a very discounted rate If you had the guts to stay over midnight until dawn, the so called āCorujĆ£oā (loosely translated to big owl š¦)
Going to a lan house, downloading a bunch of useless shit freeware programs and games to have something to do at home without internet connection.

Scuse me, I donāt do business with the dead bird. Whatās happening?
I mean yes but actually no.
Thereās nothing inherently insecure about Linux on mobile but I believe the problem youāre describing relates more to the lack of fine grained permission granting knobs and underdeveloped UX overall.
None of which canāt be fixed, and to some extent you are probably safer running android apps within the sandboxed android simulator running on top of sailfish than ānativelyā.
I think itās the cold, I swear itās not like that usuallyā¦
Yeah the same concerns apply to that NIP. I can see where this is coming from, but I disagree with the proposed solution (it sounds like someone was trying to reimplement mastodon silos inside nostr).
I mean, whatās supposed to happen if some client pulls a bitch@ and starts sharing events with nearby peers?
Sounds like that is an attempt to address the very real use case of āclosed-ish communitiesā, and that I believe can be done in a better way than mimicking mastodon silos, thanks to nostr identity scheme and all the jazz.
Really itās about keeping relays as an optional entity we use to conveniently relay data rather than soft enforcing some arbitrary policies.
Noooo bro, donāt reach for the phone in the morning, go outside and let the sun recharge you for at least some 5-10 minutes, then you are good to go.
Canāt you just dual boot? I remember using MultiRom on my Nexus (before I became an Apple fag), could boot into the glorious SailfishOS, Ubuntu Phone and Android whenever I wanted.
Can we have arbitrary sovereign domains too?
Speaking of āthe old internetāā¦
The YouTube algorithm used to bless me with really good #ytp content some years ago, sure, itās been enshitfied now, yada yada, but still, I donāt think I wouldāve discovered such content if I were to rely on WoT/friends recomendations alone.
It used to be the case that algos werenāt optimized to keep you inside some closed bubble, which is a thing WoT kind of does by design, so I wonder if/how can we work around that?
