Very thankful for the Nostr community… your zaps have been allowing me to pay “anon” for a VPN the past few months. Wish you all a merry Christmas!

I wish you a very lovely time nostr:npub1l2gvp9wxajsl6wqnh6eulvz5sdk05gtajjwjn2yn45s9yvfru2kqf3r0gm

And to say something simple: it’s not so much what we put on our plates that matters most, but who we share it with.

Enjoy the festivities 💜🇬🇧🚒😎🎄

Goodnight ✨💜🫂

Have a lovely night / morning 💫

Wishing y'all a week full of peace, joy, and contentment.

It's at a point now where it's almost impossible for me to use the "regular" internet. I can't access half the sites. The reason? I care about my digital hygiene and thus use a VPN. Sometimes switching to a different VPN or switching the country of the VPN works; other times it does not. Oh well, I guess I'm not going to watch that video, or read that article, or look at that picture. Whatever.

In addition to that, if I'm not blocked completely, I have to prove that I'm human every step of the way. Captchas, re-captchas, Cloudflare checkboxes, the whole shebang. I am human. I promise. And I am very annoyed. Outright angry, even. I doubt that any robot will ever be as annoyed as I am right now about the current state of the internet.

What annoys me most, actually, is that all these measures don't really work. There's bots everywhere. Robots get access to the stuff anyway, using farms of humans, just like in the good old days of WoW gold farming. The centralized "safety" nets of Cloudflare et al brought down large swaths of the internet multiple times in the last couple of weeks alone, and as things centralize more and more these outages will happen more and more.

I'm very close to breaking up with the legacy internet. I'm human, I can cryptographically prove that I'm human, and I have sats to spend. But the legacy internet doesn't care about that. It cares about farming me and my data, while annoying me to no end. I've been nostr only for a while now, but that was only on the "social media" side. 2026 might be the year where I go nostr-only for everything, or to phrase it slightly differently: permissionless for everything.

No more "are you human?"

No more "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."

No more cookie banners, paywalls, and AI slop.

No more being treated like a child.

Even if it means that I'll have to self-host everything.

Even if it means that I'll have to build & maintain stuff myself.

Even if it means that it's a lot of work and pain.

Nothing worth having ever comes easy.

But the easy stuff is not worth having in the first place.

Here's to the year to come, and the new corner of the internet, build on cryptography and webs-of-trust. Real value. Real connections. Real humans.

Here's to nostr.

Not convinced that one is a legit word!

On the volla phone?

Well thank you very much. I genuinely try to be balanced in the points raised and highlighted. My main problem is that there’s so much rattling around my brain that it can come out like a firehouse which can make those messages less than clear.

I am, and will always remain, a work in progress.

Thank you 🙏

Hopefully people find it useful.

Iris, it's great. Underrated.
