Software Engineer by day, aspiring beet farmer by night. ☦️💻⚽🏥📷📈💪☕️🇺🇸🇪🇬 Things I like: - #P2P/#decentralized/#opensource stuff - #History (esp Rome/Greece/Egypt) - #Transit oriented city design - #Gadgets/#ElectricVehicles/#Solar Power - #Space exploration - #Videogames (especially #GTA) Things I've Built: - Agora: Follow your favorite topics across Mastodon, Bluesky, Nostr, and Threads https://agorasocial.app - Chronicl: Decentralized web archiver that distributes archives across Nostr relays https://chronicl.vercel.app/ “Egyptians are twisted and bitter people with a sense of humor” - Roman poet Theocritus

As more clients implement Gossip/NIP-65 relay autopilot, this will thankfully be something users won’t have to worry about.

Until then, here’s another tool for tackling this:

Iris has a new feature based on Gossip where if you go to https://iris.to/settings/network and scroll down to “popular relays”, it’ll show you the relays ranked by how many of your extended social network have posts there.

Has quickly become one of my favorites!

The creators of CORS: “how can we develop an irritating mechanism that handicaps webapps abilities, in return for minor security benefits?”

I'm a big fan of getting important, actionable news directly from primary sources. Having said that, here's a nostr profile of the FDIC's official RSS feed #[0]

@FDICgov: "what was that you were saying MBCA??"

Fun fact: The new Library of Alexandria (aka Bibliotheca Alexandrina) was the site of the first mirror and external backup of the Internet Archive. There's something poetic about that, given the history of the original Library of Alexandria and its role as the western world's archive of human knowledge.

Some great points made!

"Tetzchner, whom we sat down with after MWC 2023, doesn’t believe in the attention- and tracking-based advertising world we live in today, and is advocating for a radical renaissance that shifts us to a broad and content-based approach, like we're familiar with from print and TV."
