What is the US equivalent to Alibaba? Forget making a nostr alternative to eBay, we need an easy way to connect to US manufacturers.
Looks like the minimum of this graph is around 1973, not 1971. Guess what was also in 1973? Roe v Wade.
This is looking to be a great option for an EDC Meshtastic device.

IMO the best part of social media is having people you actually know online. Sure, algorithmic recommendations keep your attention, but leave you feeling empty. It’s the interactions with people you know that are fulfilling. Private, invite-only relays, combined with an easy to use app limited to those relays (for the normies, but self-custodial once they want to venture out of the walled garden) could be a way to achieve this and slow the rise of AI generated content. Invites are moderated using a tree/pyramid invite system, eg if someone invites several spammy accounts they themselves will be banned.

Yes, currently DNS is very centralized (plus names are effectively rented). But we must have some sort of human readable solution for naming (as opposed to memorizing an entire npub, for example), or else it will look like we are taking a step backwards.

Pretty sure the newest version of Yggdrasil (0.5.x) removed the DHT and is using CRDTs and bloom filters to route traffic.

This is awesome, I’ve always been interested in the pyramid invite system like with lobste.rs
TOR onion addresses are no better than IP addresses, in fact worse, in terms of convenience and ease of remembering. IPFS does not work in practice. Unstoppable domains are also based on a centralized contract, you’re choosing between government control or private company control, which is no better than ICANN.
In terms of privacy, I agree, it doesn’t make sense for it to be on the list. But DNS is very centralized, with one entity (ICANN) overseeing the entire root. There’s no way to truly own a name on the internet, you can only rent it. I used to be entirely against the current system, but now I see some scenarios where a centralized DNS makes sense, like in name collisions, squatting, faking identity, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love a decentralized alternative to DNS (for example Handshake), but it would be wrong to ignore the shortcomings of decentralized DNS. And DNS and web security are very closely tied, with CAs only granting certs to ICANN domains (or ip addresses but that defeats the convenience of DNS), which means your devices have no way to “trust” a service without an ICANN domain. DANE + DNSSEC could fix this, but no browsers support it.
Pretty cool that this has been implemented now (nostrudel or dtan.xyz for example), although I’m pretty sure I was mistaking an indexer for a tracker. The next step is now for these sites to setup APIs to allow automated downloads from certain totally legitimate downloaders (for example people wanting to get the latest Linux os). Or better yet implement a nostr client directly in the automated downloaders.
