How to build visibility on NOSTR, if I wanted to?
On Facebook or YouTube, creators can run ads, and hope that people will then also follow them organically.
On NOSTR, I guess organic is the only option.
That is, I guess, things like post valuable content using hashtags, so that people can discover you, participate in some conversations that have large reach, what else?
Just curious.
Thank you.
This pi hole thing is new to me and super interesting.
I will check it out.
I understand it requires that I have a device at home, running 24/7?
Or could I deploy it in cloud on a Linux VM and use to protect my home network, too?
Like, home router using my could VM IP as a DNS, would this work?
I agree.
There is no one metric that would encompass all we want, that is, how good is a given system for its citizens.
We certainly should look at multiple indicators.
And it's also interesting to think - how do we measure the results?
How to even evaluate the results of a given system?
Is it median purchasing power parity, per Capita?
Human development index?
Happiness survey scores?
Another issue, and I'm sharing this because I've been thinking about it as well, like what is the best system.
To what extent, if we look at results, can we attribute them to the system (rule of law, freedom, no violence, no corruption) vs other things (natural resources, history, dominant culture and values, better weapons (...)
I don't have the answer. It is probably nuanced.
If you like Chrome, just use Cromite:
https://github.com/uazo/cromite/releases/tag/v133.0.6943.60-3fc3e3c23494d21b4bb997d1e408b25014ce973d
Cromite is a Ungoogled-Chromium fork with native ad blocking and password manager.
Ungoogled-Chromium is the best no-tor browser for privacy because it has no telemetry (Check https://spyware.neocities ) and it's great for those who like Google Chrome, it's basically the same browser, but without sync, telemetry and another Google services.
Thank you. I will check it out.
It's an option.
I thought about it.
I guess I like the convenience of chrome with password manager.
I know there are other options.
Just moving isn't super easy.
And I have habits.
But yes.
What is the best ad blocker for Chrome?
I'm using uBlock Origin but chrome says "may soon be unsupported"
#asknostr
Perhaps I should start doing this, too 😃
Conversation with AI to act as my coach, friend, journaling partner, discuss decisions, options, habits.
Building simple python apps just for myself, to do something, like check status of my Bitcoin node and send an alert, or check some stock prices.
Used instead of Google search for research on health, supplements, optimized training plans, etc.
Craft a legal agreement for something.
Things like that.
Nothing superb.
But useful and fun and time saving.
I'm mostly using chat GPT.
I also run mistral on my laptop using ollama, but it is less powerful, but private.
And choose the right problems to solve.
Correct, while using the hosted DeepSeek app, which is censored, I guess.
But, I have heard people downloaded the model, open source, and ran it themselves, string hardware needed, it would give answers.
One more thought came to my mind.
You see, content creators often use platforms such as Sprinklr that allow them to post one post, automatically, to different social media platforms.
It would be super powerful and good for NOSTR, if you or someone convinced those platforms owners, to add NOSTR integration.
Then, for content creators using those platforms, it would be zero incremental work to post also on NOSTR.

Remember, any moment, all times, breathe through the nose and make pauses after breathing out
Try also when walking, nose only, pause after out
Not sure how much it helps but I'm doing these things after reading several books about this
Good luck
Hopefully some will be interested
Their first question is likely to be what is the reach
But you can make it an irresistible win win offer
I think it is a legit idea to do this.
Yes, and you need to pay property tax.
And it can be confiscated.
Not an ideal store of value.
But still may be a good part of the portfolio.
Or owned a place to live.
