1983 vintage. Lives in Oslo, Norway. Interested in tech, cooking, history, music, art and travel.

so, all the pub keys on mostr.pub changed, so nobody from here is following anyone from mostr.pub anymore. i just had to refollow all my alts on berserker.town from here.

warning: post may irritate skin. suited for ages 12+ and above only. choking hazard. read the included safety pamphlet for further instructions. this post is not medical or legal advice.

it's always jarring when a sentence end in a different way than what your tomato bullfrog exfoliated

you ain't nothin' but a ground hog 🎶

learning how to sound like you're saying something without actually conveying any information whatsoever is half the job of a politician

i have lost count of the numerous times that i have lost count of things

i have some weirdness with zapping where it happens but the client doesn't appear to notice always.

no laughing is permitted at the Department of Comedy - this is a serious matter

if you're going to share your OnlyFans on Nostr, make sure to use your *pubic* key

my Bandcamp:

my music is also available on major streaming services.

my age and experience says i'm a xennial generation computer programmer but wallet and civil status says i'm a zoomer. neurodiversity is a bitch.

i'd like to access a paid relay for posting at some point but i'm going to be fairly cash strapped until the 20th so in the meanwhile, i'm stuck posting to the free relays.

what's your standard tip amount when zapping?

lots of actors in this space not being entirely transparent about luring and locking people into their services. just saw a post explain where to upload images if your client doesn't do that, as if there is only one image hosting site to use for Nostr. another fun one is when a client says "this is how you get a Lightning address" and links to a particular provider, neglecting to mention that other providers exist or that you can even self host.

i would like to see some more stats for relays such as post volume, number of collected clients, uptime percentage and response time, because i'd want good stats for that before paying for access to post to a paid relay.

what i found after looking through each of my relays individually was:
