#Niantic published #Ingress #plusalpha anomaly details. First Event is "+Alpha Campaign: Global" starting 18 January 2025 (Sat) at 00:00 local time. Have fun planning your strategy for optimal "+Alpha Op Points" gains! 😉
If you live in #NewZealand the event already started and I'm curious what bounties need to be completed!
There are about 8000 Mastodon instances and about 18000 daily active Nostr clients at the moment. So there will be no big impact if a Nostr account with reach posts a note with a link. Generating the link preview on the client is worse, because they are many more then relays. It is just a matter of numbers if this will be a problem.
F.x. the Telegram messenger generates and caches link previews on their servers. They cannot let the clients do this, because they have channels with hundreds of thousands of participants. They even have a bot (Webpagebot) to update link previews.
X does generate link previews on their servers and other services do that also. The problem with Mastodon is that there are so many instances and every single instance federating a toot will generate the preview again.
Web-Servers have ways to mitigate the problem also. The first response to the resource may just return the open-graph tags in the head and a redirect to the real resource or code to populate the web page that is not executed while generating link previews. That preserves the server from generating and returning the full content.
If Nostr grows significantly generating link previews on the clients will become a problem. I'm sure there will be a addition to the protocol to add and/or cache link previews for a note and avoid doing that on every single client again and again.
The argument that relays won't generate link previews?
That is irrelevant as online Nostr clients will do.
Gerade im Desktop Browser ausprobiert, bei mir steht da auch 0 🤔
It is. At the moment many Nostr clients generate a link preview when they encounter a link in a note. If this would be many it would effectively ddos the linked resource.
I have published my article on the Forest Walker to YakiHonne as well as Medium.
It introduces the idea of plugging bitcoin into forest fuel load management practices for the profitable reduction of forest fire potential.
I'd appreciate it if y'all would post these links to your various social media outlets to get more eyeballs on it. Thank you.

cleaning the forest has disadvantaged in the long term. Doing so might be useful in areas at high risk of fire, but one would have to somewhat fertilize the ground to replace what has been been removed.
On the other hand, I don't believe that these machines can be built at all and even if they were, they wouldn't be economical.

You published your article not "to" but using yakihonne. Any Nostr client able to display long from posts may display it, or let the user choose from a list of suitable apps. The link below with a nostr prefix and your articles naddr1 will do.

Just watched Den of Thieves 2: Pantera at a Sneak Preview.
This is a solid thriller part time action movie. May be one should watch the first part beforehand.
Gerard Butler looks a bit unsure and nervous throughout the whole movie. I did not get if that should be the character. If I were one of his accomplices, I would question whether he would be able to carry out the robbery.
My verdict: 7 nostr:npub12zxgk9lpn2l5uzgtcraly54luqpa0nyv6a6jmuep298kcwfaru0qrg3sj2 #NostrPotatoes
eh... display settings are "large 992px".
Firefox on Windows 10 and Chrome in a Terminal Server Session on Windows Server 2022 Standard, Client ist Windows 11.
Chrome with nos2x and Firefox with nos2x-fox extension. Current versions. I switch to dark mode and adjust the display width in the settings a bit, that's all.

äh, was ist denn 19:00 los, hab ich wieder was verpasst 😴 ?!
#ingress Scanner updated to 2.156.1. Everything is now more smooth.
So one #bitcoin is more than #100k $ 🙂 ... I guess I won. 😎
ok, I misunderstood text explaining the Outbox Model - my fault 😔 (cc nostr:npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw )
But then it is even worse! People sending notes to a thread that are on disjunct relays do not see each others arguments?!
Would f.x. explain why I'm reading a german nostrich constantly posting things and do not see any reactions even if the notes are extremely offensive 🤦♂️
I actually read "all other post on the network" related to a specific user, not with a general meaning. Yes, it's not possible to automatically search/access any note, since there is no really a "global" feed. You have to query specific relays.
I don't see any problem with that, it's like the internet has worked since his inception. It is the centralized services that have accustomed us to this mode in recent times, at the expense of course of everything else, so Nostr exists.
Probably there will born search relays (NIP-50) that will offer this service, trying to aggregate/index as much relays as possibile. Ehi nostr:npub1xsgymm0ne3vndqpvsvy285qfpu59049t5n5twg9vetmt92cyn95snyzazx, are you listening? :)
> it's like the internet has worked since his inception. It is the centralized services that have accustomed us to this mode in recent times, at the expense of course of everything else
Good point, but I would still like to have a search for Nostr that lets me find things from people I don't know yet.
Otherwise it feels like the old mailbox systems, but even fidonet had (still has?) a backbone.
Of course the outbox model lets yo see notes of people you don't follow replying to notes of people you follow. That's one of its core features 😉
Search relays would have to be centralized to solve that.
It is definitely not by design that you do not see notes of people you don't follow. Almost every client offers a "global feed". But that is of course only the unfiltered feed of all relays this client is connected to.
