the mothership is coming. they aren't taking on board slackers.
btw, they aren't letting me into my inbox anymore, that's the email screen there.
like it matters if the email is delivered if i can't access it anyway.
i was wondering whether they actually did this. used to be they had a free tier.
i barely even use email at this point, so there's no way it's getting paid for.
once a few more services get on board with using EC keys and charging sats i'll go there.
take a greyhound instead. US domestic flights sound nearly as bad as international ones.
sodium/potassium silicate blocks like 95% of UV. it's not natural light. you won't get a tan, or any vitamin D.
despite the glamor they like to exude, the business of building clients and simple data filters is not that high a bar of entry. you seem to have the ability to type and that's kinda prerequisite for being a programmer, maybe you could build something?
those of us who are actually building things find these whine sessions pretty boring because we aren't getting paid much, if anything, to do what we are doing. you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. start doing something about it instead of expecting daddy elon to solve your problems.
nostr's second subject other than bitcoin twitter favourites is development.
that's because this is how nostr devs are communicating with each other.
not only that, as you will see if you drop tags and urls around about problems you are having with some app or other, eg alby, various lightning wallets like zeus and so forth, there is people popping in to offer support.
the topics of discussion will widen when the platform gets more narrow and subject-oriented clients. probably the same for narrow and subject oriented relays, and specific sub-protocols such as for example the logistics idea i mentioned there.

nostrudel places the actual .well_known/nostr.json link in the nostr name.

idk who does nostrudel.ninja but it should redirect to the domain name i think.
looks to me like the implementation is not complete, it respects not showing the username@ part but logically the link should be the domain.
my namestr server bumps you to my github if you request any other URL than the nostr.json one.
so, with the weekend diversion of finishing my little NIP-05 server app done, tomorrow back to the grind with gitr - which is a somewhat simplified Git replacement, that understands git but adds nostr signatures and will eventually add several kinds of decentralised hosting remote helpers for push/pull/fetch from non-DNS bound non-silo hosting systems.
https://github.com/mleku/namestr
namestr is a NIP-05 server that doesn't require any configuration files. you just run it with your domain, npub, and optionally the list of the relay domain names you want to use.
it is intended for people to use with domain names that are just their display name, like mine, mleku.online - it only provides one name, for the default `_@domain.name` which appears in clients as just `domain.name` like mine: mleku.online
no stupid wss:// required for the set of relays you can give to help people find your notes, and no need to search for the hex version of your username, namestr automatically decodes it from the standard, nice looking npub format.
i have also provided a basic systemd service unit file, and the README.md provides basic instructions for using it.
now, to get back to making gitr, with added nostr signatures and decentralised hosting support.
just a small update, i had it sending out 'gfy' in response to anything other than the correct request for the name _@domain.com - it now has a 4th positional arg that you put a full url into, eg https://github.com/mleku as mine is set, and it bounces users there if they happen to click on the url.
likewise, good to meet.
we got a lotta work to do getting people to understand why Go and not all the retarded mid languages with a billion stupid features and no coroutines and channels.
damus relay runs stirfry, which takes a full 20 minutes to compile on pretty high spec hardware. meanwhile, btcd compiles in 15 seconds, a far far more complex app.
the most frequently puzzled expressions from locals here in Madeira we get, as ascetic bitcoiner dev refugees is why we like to walk around the place with these incredibly steep, narrow roads everywhere.
that's what pura vida means.
i thought i knew how to walk a long way and now, 4 hours and 6 kilometres is more taxing than a 50km day along the mostly empty train tracks in Serbia.
we have on our agenda to eventually be able to walk all the way from the beach up to the observatory on one of the lower peaks on the northern face of the island, and watch the dark sky, and camp in hammocks with rain falling on the bashas covering us. well, i want to do the sleeping in the hammock thing anyhow, after spending a few hours enjoying the quiet and darkness and the milky way up above.
haha, all those people who want to bring the normies to nostr and this is the big story on nostr. lol.
good, let them think we are stupid, that will help slow down the inevitable proprietary relays and silo tactics.
they weren't. they were just guests at the home garden of Atlas in the place now known as the Richat Structure.
they brought back the knowledge of gardening and cows to their home in palestine and the rest is history.
yeah, from the good old days of Blockbuster Video and VHS it was.
it's nearly as big as Jesus
It's officially official
#TheNostr has been merged ✅

thank you nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 for the hard work on this one
"hard work" yes, such a rock star.

Christopher Walken dancing with alien visitors from the outtakes from "Communion : Collectors DVD" put to Aphex Twin's Donkey Rhubarb.
from one of my favorite films Communion (1989).
#movies #films #kinostr #tardance #kino
i haven't seen that movie yet, damn... and christopher walken! if you never saw the movie 'trance' or aka 'the eternal' it has him in it too, really hard movie to find, well worth the watch.
you should check out the original tune that went viral in the background of the coffin dancers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--cxZbnmmoc
pretty funny that's what the original video was. sorta like an easter egg for anyone that dug into the origin of the tune.
not only that, the artist is russian, from the same region where the main military base staging operations for the war in ukraine, Rostok.
