Was just looking at that today. Spotify creeping up and better to support others.
https://blog.kagi.com/what-is-next-for-kagi is pretty good. I wonder if it's a scam and I'm being duped.
"our development efforts are centered around improving search algorithms, expanding our own index, reducing latency, and ensuring that our platform remains free of low-quality and LLM-generated content"
Been using it for a few months now and loving it.
Paying for search feels good.
Changes your search behaviour too. I no longer use a search engine as a spell checker 😂
There is no second best client.
You will be wrecked and you will be happy. 🤟
#Amethyst v0.87.0: Data Vending Machines (DVMs) and Gossip Model
This version adds support for Data Vending Machines for content discovery. You can request a job by simply navigating to the 4th tab and choosing one of the DVMs. It also starts our support for the Inbox/Gossip model. The relay setup screen has been rewritten to support the many types of relays Amethyst will start to use. Please add your relays as you see fit.
Our video caching system has been improved. Most of the high-bandwidth use of the app in the last month has been due to a faulty caching system for some video types. The app was just downloading them at every playback. In a similar way, the caching system for encrypted events has been massively improved. The app should feel visibly lighter at this point.
If you generated your keys from NIP-06 seed words you can now type them on the login screen to start the app. We are not generating seeds yet, but this will be available in the upcoming versions.
We are also moving to deprecate and remove most of the NIP-04 usage in the app. In the future, users won't be able to send new NIP-04 DMs but the history of past DMs will be available for as long as we can support it.

It's on my camper truck.
600W of solar and 10kWh of Lithium.
Got a 5v circuit for the BitAxe Supras. Hexes coming soon that are 12v, which is better for my setup.
Don't underestimate the power of a #nerdminer as an entry drug for mining.
Many scoffed at them as useless, or worse, a scam.
I'm now running BitAxes using solar and I'm planning some S19 space heater builds.
Pleb mining ftw 🤟
If the Biden admin was smart, they’d come out HARD as pro- #Bitcoin , rejecting anti-Bitcoin members of their party (e.g. Warren) and do a complete 180 on policy.
But they’re not smart, and they will double down on being anti-Bitcoin as a knee-jerk reaction to Trump being pro-Bitcoin.
Either way, everything is good for Bitcoin. https://v.nostr.build/8GewJ.mp4

8GB RAM in 2024? Come on, Apple. At least give 16GB with 512 SSD. I think getting upgradeable RAM and SSD is more wise for power users or developers. Plenty of options like Dell or Framework laptops allow upgrading ram and ssd later. Just saying…
