the public holiday was going very nicely until 11am when the neighbour across the river/drain started massacring his tiny lawn with an electric whipper snipper.
the sound protection must be applied for the afternoon it seems.
good to see you also have infinite accuracy in your assessment of reality.
the killer app of nostr is going to be building bulletproof marketplaces for difficult to find products that are ignored by fiat business.
yes, it could be run locally, but it could also be run remotely and thereby act also as a single purpose VPN.
it looks like there might be two of us working on this too, it's not really my idea, per se, and my friend has already started putting together the scaffolding.
it's something important to note if you are ever a refugee.
refugee camps make great theatre when bombed, and nobody who is "important" gets hurt.
best to make your own way in all things in life, and this is just another graphic, violent, vicious example of why.
people often like to hide envy based on their ignorance in insults. it's a thing.
something i want to do is make a personal relay that automatically syncs new notes from follows and can be your own personal gatekeeper, proxying your requests... run it somewhere other than home, keep everything cached, use it as your only relay, it handles broadcasting out to the relays of your follows, et voila.
it will probably have a name like Wall of Nostr perhaps, and it will be aimed at semi-technical users since the whole point is you know exactly what it's doing, nothing up its sleeve.
maybe i'll start working on such a thing. my friend has also talked about wanting to do this. running portmaster and seeing the clients pull from relays that you aren't using is a bit of a red flag, since one of the purposes, in my view, of relays, is to be selective about who you look at 2nd, 3rd, etc level out the WoT. what i see in the client, of posts that i don't want to see as replies to threads i am following, very often come from relays i don't use.
*off topic nostr:npub1cpstx8lzhwctunfe80rugz5qsj9ztw8surec9j6mf8phha68dj6qhm8j5e is building some interesting tools
not really off topic, he's doing a thing to delete inactive accounts from follow lists.
just looking a little closer through the follows on this account. i reckon 80-90% of them are bots. zero WoT score and no followers.
but but but... what in God's name is the point of following someone with an account. you don't need that to read their posts - unless you are using a standard client. writing a client that just snarfs a set of account npubs would be a few days work, so i guess they must be the legendary lurkers, normies who make accounts with the only purpose to read-only, normie because they clearly have zero tech skill.
had a second try to get portmaster behaving itself with my wireguard connected but every time wg on, portmaster blocks everything, even went through all the things and set them to allow.
cbf.
i'd rather my wg than a blacklister, the only thing that i learned out of this was that 99% of the web is spying on you, which is also why i hardly use any of it anymore.
apart from technical stuff, github, gmail, i hardly use the web anyway.
until it gets up to date with schnorr algorithm elliptic curve access control it can all GFI with a large, barbed pole.
GFY
today i fast. only water, cacao, maca and theanine.
empty belly time.
don't add sugar. at all.
well, gimp made it out of a webp bitmap. i just made gimp make a jpeg and all sorted.
i guess this is proof the coracle CDN tampers with the file?
i vote the nostr switch to this instead of GM
