And oh yeah… Arctic just wants to find the best way to give more sats to nostr developers 😆
Yes. Also, how do we reduce the non-stop stream of information about things which are clearly outside our personal boundaries of control. We suffer from decision fatigue which negatively influences our ability to filter information and make judgements on that which deserves at least our attention.
Absolutely, this is something we can all agree upon. The unanswerable question however is “what can we control?” The things we as humans previously thought we couldn’t control changes constantly. That’s progress.
Yup, you put the client on those - then on your phone, and voila your phone can connect privately when you are on any network. No more ddns, port forwarding, reverse proxies, etc…
It’s the best. You can put it on an access point, but the real value is that you don’t have to. Your tailnet can be comprised of nodes anywhere.
I think your philosophy is the proper approach to reduce anxiety but our brains are hard wired to reduce uncertainty. We can’t just pretend that’s not who we are.
The Damus icon could be repurposed as the jump to top button.
Thank you for summarizing so succinctly. We’re using them interchangeably, they are not the same thing.
There could be some really interesting semi-private architectures built using node sharing. All lnd and nostr security/traffic would be handled at the network level.
Man, Tailscale is pretty incredible. I now have all of the following accessible from my phone at all times:
1. DNS resolution and ad blocking via PiHole/Unbound running on a raspberry pi at my house.
2. Access to my home network (media library, node, other personal data) as if I am on my home WiFi.
3. A free Oracle VPS instance that serves as an exit node for all my traffic This masks my home IP and provides an encrypted route for traffic when on public WiFi.
The VPS set-up was VERY simple. The most complex part was figuring out how to SSH into the remote VPS with the proper credentials. Since the VPS setup was only two lines of code I can up and move to any VPS provider if Oracle ends up being as shitty as many say.
Running your own PiHole/DNS is extremely easy using the DietPi linux distro for Raspberry Pi. I dont know how it is on other hardware, but there are many guides out there and this could easily be deployed alongside the exit node on a VPS.

Tailscale is magic. It eliminates so many of the high maintenance network issues related to self-hosting.

Maybe if all the major clients had support for a non-custodial wallet with NIP-57 out of the box. Until then this just increases barriers to entry for people who have never heard of lightning.
Yeah honestly I think the more that things are laid bare the more likely it is we see a return to spiritual practices as a new type of communion. Have you watched or listened to any of John Vervaeke’s material?
I love how you specifically called out "how honest we are with ourselves." What fills me with curiosity and excitement about AI is that in the process of creation it will reveal truths requiring us to be honest with ourselves about what it means to be human. We've been struggling with these questions for centuries, and now that we're on the cusp of finding the answers there are signs people don't want really want to know.
LOL, you guys…. Zaps are the best… down with likes!! 😂
Totally, I sound like I’m being anti zap but the fact that we’re witnessing sats rapidly changing hands is a big deal.
Money doesn’t solve everything. Sometimes it makes things worse. ⚡️
Yeah sorry I flipped those. And I don’t want to drag the conversation into the weeds, just want to point out that zaps add a dimension to the equation which could exacerbate things. It’s now a paid popularity contest.
Does a 10 sat zap carry more weight than a 50 sat zap? If so is your ability to show appreciation proportional to your income level?
