I'm happy to see Gordon Brander, a long-time "decentralized brain" buidler to finally arrive at Nostr. https://newsletter.squishy.computer/p/natures-many-attempts-to-evolve-a

Looking up kind numbers / tag letters is probably around 0.1% of development time. And you need a dependency for that, that has to be maintained, and version bumped a lot. A lot of us don't want to do that. Just creating an enum for yourself for the kinds you use is probably the most productive for devs with bad memory.

But you can create that enum yourself for kinds and publish for everyone out there to use. If it's needed by many, it will be used. But expect some conflicts if the same kind is used by different apps. It's also a vector for supply chain attack, not to mention the case when the maintainer of the enum package goes on holiday and somebody wants to release sthg.

For tags, it's even more complicated because tags semantics is different for each kind.

Hmm, with damaged kidneys you should probably be cautious with higher doses of boron. I know close to nothing about that condition 😕

Thanks for the heads-up!

Don't mix up boron and borax. Borax contains 11% boron. So my base mixture is 9g borax per liter, which makes 1g boron per liter, or 1mg/mL, for easy calculations. And I'm still OK with the taste.

I use distilled water because in normal water it creates floating calcium particles, which makes the water opaque, it looks bad and not pleasant to drink.

My experience is that ~200 mg boron increases my libido A LOT for a few days in the beginning. After those days the body adapts and everything gets back to normal. It works by inhibiting testosterone breakdown.

Yeah, once you catch some chronic stuff, e.g. from vaccines, you have to take proper doses from all minerals and vitamins to feel OK.

Myself, I would never take any vaccines since I know what's going on. And I thought I outsmart them by avoiding the vaccines. I was wrong. Once I went to a dentist to pull my last wisdom tooth, where I got a lidokain injection, and I suspect I got some coctail of "agents" in it. 3 days later I came down with CFS, and also my lungs haven't cleared up since then. Wisdom teeth gone, wisdom acquired.

for magnesium, magnesium-bisglycinate is the best form.

There is an interesting article that sheds light on a small part of what agents they have developed: http://www.betterhealthguy.com/images/stories/PDF/PHA/2009_07.pdf (mycoplasma article, page 1)

Hah! Good Hungarian skills! 😉

I would recommend trying the 200mg boron per day dose, and if there's no benefit, cut back to 30mg.

Lugol's is best taken in the morning, because any antioxidants you take later (c-vitamin, n-acetyl-anything) reduces the elemental iodine to iodide, which the body needs to convert back to elemental. Keep at least 1 hour between iodine and antioxidants. Also, it might keep you awake at night if you take it late.

Nincs baloldal,

Nincs jobboldal.

Csak az állam van,

S Te, sok jóval.

Wow, thanks!

Your auntie is spot on! 😉

I'm also a big borax fan. I think boron deficiency causes osteoporosis in old age, which is quite common in my country Hungary.

Also, if you up the dose to 7x your auntie's recommendation (30mg boron -> 200mg boron per day), you get some terapeutic effect, it kills mycoplasma infections, and helps cleaning up the lungs by making the mucus less viscose. But it's ridiculously cheap, so doctors won't recommend it ever.

I'm not talking about energy drinks, but taurine as powder. It makes circulation better at the capillars, has some relaxing effect, increases focus, increases lifespan, enhances sports performance, and whatever else you're taking, you will benefit from taurine. Your body produces it while young. It's food, not a stimulant. It's fine to take taurine without caffeine, but in case you overdosed caffeine, taurine ends the heart palpitations - this is also the reason why they put it in red bull.

Then there are other tweaks, like iodine. At least 10mg per day. Your body needs it, loves it, it makes nerves snappy, quicker brain, quicker reflexes, optimalizes metabolism (through thyroid), detoxifies, and a LOT more. Children need it the most for brain development. It adds ~5 to newborn babies' IQ if the mother has proper iodine levels. And a LOT more. There is a protocol for starting taking iodine, selenium and iron levels must be sufficient, and extra C vitamin, magnesium, zinc, B2, B3 vitamins help a lot in the initial 6 months of taking iodine (Lugol's) Iodine made miracles to my life quality back 7 yrs ago, and I'm taking it since then.

Omega3, lecithin, they are what your brain is made of. Take a lot.

Vitamins, minerals - everything has an optimal dose / level. Aim for it. A little excess of them very rarely cause problems. / except for selenium.

You probably know these, and have bio-hacking experience, I just wanted to point out what worked best for me.

THEN, when everything is in place what your body NEEDS, only then I would start experimenting with the extras, teas, microdosing these stuff, amphetamine, adderal, racetams, nootropics, etc.

Oh, how much I wish there was a forum-like app on Nostr where these topics could be discussed... Health topic is slowly being shadow-banned on the old internet, thanks to google, fb and govt's.

Any ideas for the forum?

Use 3g taurin and you can double your coffee dose! 😉

Trustroot, a couchsurfing app is currently being nostrified! Currently it's nostr notes put on a map: https://notes.trustroots.org/

Hi, thanks for the feedback!

I don't get the usecase with the git-remote-nostr proxying requests. Do you mean blossom scheme should be used in `clone` tags instead of nostr://, and nostr:// would be some kind of multiplexer for the remotes that show up among the `clone` tags?

Seems like no. There were uncommitted trials doing that.

I would push the relay(s) into the user field, and make it optional:

nostr://relay.one|relay.two@npub123/project

In most cases we can find the npub on purplepag.es or big relays. If somebody still wants better resilience, he can add as many relays as he wants.

You are right, we don't need the git+ prefix. Nobody uses it anyway.

I think we would have problems when committing large files in nostr events. Probably there are relays that limit the size of events. And this is the kind of error that doesn't surface for weeks when a project is started.

Why not use (git+)nostr:(//)npub1xxxxxxx/some-project as git remote url? It tells more about the owner and the project, too. Relay discovery is a thing to solve but with purplepag.es we are quite good I think.

The git+nostr: scheme could be more descriptive to what kind of URL this is, e.g. where to paste it.

Very nice stuff, although I don't understand a word :)

Yes, I can bootstrap trust data from zero by using follows, but the more difficult part is to bootstrap the content itself, e.g. make people to post lots of interesting articles and discussion starters and come back regularly. Like it happened in reddit. I still like the simplicity of the idea.

For step 3-4:

I'm thinking about a site where you can have discussions on each context category. A discussion can be initiated by posting a articles with some personal comments, or just asking a question. So this becomes a reddit clone based on web of trust.

The web of trust calculation can start as simple as taking follows and mutes into count.

Next to the discussion comments there is a BUTTON where you can express your trust in the author's expertise in the category under which it was posted. It creates a new trust event (NIP-77), that is processed the same way as a follow, only difference is that it has much much more score for the exact category it was issued for, somewhat more score for parent categories, and waaaay less score for all other categories.

With this app there is 1 to 1 link between category and trust attestations, so it's probably good way to bootstrap contextual trust.

Problem with this approach is that there is no initial data to start with, so it might be hard to bootstrap the idea.
