Seedvault backups started hanging here for me around the AOS 16 release. No matter what I do (new seed phrase, formatted USB drive) it gets stuck. The only remedy to kill the process is to reboot. Subsequent attempts hang, too.

gm, good people. ☕

I'm the guy who's watched more Liam Neesom films than anyone you know. #noregrats

Low key plotting to replace nostr:npub1theparkprcs70dcs437ke9zzwsr6u60f8flu7rg28m30438aep9sd94dha Discord with #Bitchat. Nashville <> Austin bridged over #Reticulum.

Just had to battle 3 CAPTCHAs and two false positives/credit card declines (no doubt due to VPN) in order to upgrade to paid on a Substack subscription, because I really want to support the journalist.

TradFi payments is a dumpster fire.

First thought: Magnum PI.

Is anyone distributing video on bitchute? Thoughts, opinions? #asknostr

Nostr — we can't even agree on what it is, but whatever it is, we feel strongly about it. ™️

Emotional self-regulation.

Nostr: can't censor > won't censor nostr:note1uxqsxwvkmtyhmgg89fpej2jf68v70tkpjsskykplwzuq6paqrg6s4nyjqt

Data brokers are the mycelium of mass surveillance.

Spend some sats to have your data removed. I use Incogni.

They go into a black hole because Nostr is too small today and we're living with these public relays anyone can write. That situation cannot work if Nostr gets bigger, there will be too much spam. Many relays will be forced to close themselves only to users that meet a certain criteria (payment, relationship, content quality, PoW, etc), then once you have that it becomes in the interest of these relays to exclude people who aren't behaving well, therefore reporting them to the relays they use becomes a meaningful act.

https://pyramid.fiatjaf.com/ has a reports page where presumably I or other users can check if some bad actor got accidentally invite and remove them, for example (not that it has ever happened).

Anyway, the crucial part is that what can be bad behavior for me may not be for you, so my relay may only accept notes full of love and kindness, but yours may accept notes full of rage and sarcasm, and both are ok -- that brings us to the next step: if a user only wants to see love and kindness they should be able to configure their stuff to only see replies that come from my relay in some situations, for example.

How all of this works in practice I cannot say for sure, but I see zero centralization pressure in any of these steps.

I'm in violent agreement with all of that. But weren't we talking about cyberbullying? What you've described just sounds like filtering content at one's relays, not reporting or moderation.

Better UIs to surface relay filters seem like a strong advance in the direction of "be your own algorithm."

My inbox is filling up with AI-generated guest pitches for nostr:nprofile1qqs937g9lksy25es6h5c502d78shc3f2knq76ey0xu03qqj5g77fcygpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vp39eukz6mfdphkumn99e3k7mgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfducn5jf9. Established podcasts must be drowning in them.

Pile this on top of waves of LinkedIn invitations from bots and scammers.

gm, good people. ☕ Have a great week.

What's the lowest friction (good UX), best outcome (e.g. lowers spam, surfaces desirable content) implementation of #WoT we have on nostr today?

#asknostr

Some of you are out there buying chairs, aren't you?

A daily ATH keeps the fiat away. Or something.

I expect the nostr vs [other thing] debate to wear on for years.

For me, it's simple: go where Bitcoiners are building.

Show—don't tell—me where there are more Bitcoiners building than here, and then you'll have my attention. Otherwise, it's just noise.

gm, good people. ☕ Have a great weekend.

Wrapping up nostr:nprofile1qqsf4dnexgne40djtcpacafxfz6sdemlzsyhr9clm9e7q86cgksmrmqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuurtd35x7mt99ehx2aqwjt5gt's book which methodically, handidly dismantles each and every argument for CBDCs ,as Bitcoin pumps to all time highs. Nice.

I highly recommend both.
