As a fun little experiment, nostr:npub1d9rt6u8relufzzk2m88tzdagw2dg909f0tmnkv5et3dhqwlkevysar62as and I worked together to get a #Mastodon instance up and running that stores media on #IPFS! It was an interesting learning experience.
I don't think we're ready to announce anything yet, as this was in service of another project in development. But, there's an increasing number of ways to host content on an IPFS node service, and tie it back to platforms like Mastodon using an S3-compatible API for Object Storage and some proxying.
This is all pretty rudimentary, but the big-brain realization is that a more robust version could be done by pairing Minio to s3x if we wanted to self-host an IPFS node with those specific features.
nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 might find this interesting, as we continue to grow our efforts of covering different networks.
Is there a good web tool for reading the JSON data of a #Nostr event? Currently working on an explainer article on nostr:npub1w9wuqc3s6lr25c4sgj52werj3tngvt43qrccqrher4wvn7tjm32s2ck403 for newbies, but haven't found a good method to do this yet... 🤔

Perfection. 🥰
Taking a big step with nostr:npub1w9wuqc3s6lr25c4sgj52werj3tngvt43qrccqrher4wvn7tjm32s2ck403: we're beginning to write about #Bluesky and #Nostr, and have given them dedicated sections on the site.
I have a piece coming up that's a crash course guide to Nostr for newcomers. It's pretty good so far, but needs work. What are things you think people totally new to Nostr ought to know? What would current-you tell past-you about it?
I'm trying to explore #Nostr more, for two reasons:
1. I want to increase our coverage of efforts like Nostr and Bluesky for nostr:npub1w9wuqc3s6lr25c4sgj52werj3tngvt43qrccqrher4wvn7tjm32s2ck403
2. I want to actually make an effort against some long-held biases I have about Nostr, and explore it fully.
The thing is, my feed feels really boring right now. It's mostly a bunch of crypto bros taking about Bitcoin, Nostr, and AI stuff. Are there parts of the culture here that go deep on any other subjects?
As with all decentralized systems, the question is: where do I find the good stuff?
So many narratives in media are high-stakes these days. One man must fight the alien horde, unlock the secrets of The Engineers, and save The Multiverse!
It would be fun to write low-stakes drama: a guy tries to buy a cake for his co-worker's office party, to gain access to her Costco membership.
I started using #Penpot as part of the design process for my sites and projects. It's a delight to use! I had no idea that it was going to be this good. 🤯
It's free and open, and kind of resembles Figma. As someone who's not familiar with using design tools at all, it was really easy to jump into!
This is the culmination of a tremendous amount of effort. For the last few months, I've been working with some amazing, thoughtful, and talented people.
We're discussing the future of decentralized social, and by extension, the Internet. We've got some incredibly cool things coming very soon.

Kind of a weird #Nostr question: is there an app out there that functions similarly to Buffer or Hootsuite?
Basically, my organization at nostr:npub1w9wuqc3s6lr25c4sgj52werj3tngvt43qrccqrher4wvn7tjm32s2ck403 is expanding its presence and our team would love to have some kind of shared space for posting to Mastodon, Bluesky, Nostr, and other places.
I think there's a very real potential for a platform that does post management for federated, open, and decentralized platforms. I'm hesitating against developing something from scratch, but it's really tempting 😬
I love my best friend. He's the kind of person where, regardless of the amount of time since our last call, we still pick up and chat for two hours like it's nothing.
We can talk about anything, show any emotion, laugh about the craziest subjects, and I come away from those things with a full heart.
Being in the Air Force is like going to a potluck. Most people brought something great, some people didn't bring anything good at all, and nobody brought any plates or utensils.
Someday, in the far future, somebody will look back on the slightly less-far future with amusement.
They'll say "Wow, people really used to put cybernetic implants in their eyes? That's brutal and primitive! We just use genetically modified bacteria in our stomachs to hallucinate an operating system for us."
