Welcome to nostr! I trust you'll like this place.πŸ™‚

Dad just called to get my opinion, and express his disappointment about the launch of the $TRUMP meme coin. To my surprise, he even used the word "shitcoin" during the conversation... πŸ˜…

Indeed, lol, and definitely walking the talk!

He fathered three, actually almost four, children with two different women in the space of twelve months !? 😎

In other words, the State is going to dictate what you are allowed to do with AI and what you are not allowed to. The curriculums are going to be regulated by government censors, you'll need a license to provide training etc.

The wait for the US "Bitcoin Strategic Reserve" reminds me of the wait for the effective adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender in the Central African Republic. In the end, the CAR president and his crypto friends β€” one of them was a Cameroonian fugitive who had defrauded several million $ from gullible and naive crypto investors in his country and the diaspora β€” launched "Sangocoin" instead.

History rhymes...?

I don't have any more details.

Again very grateful for the grant I received last year which allowed me to build all this so far.

It's a tough one to swallow, not gonna lie. I will take a few weeks to think about the future of the project.

Sad to hear. I hope you'll keep working on it. It is probably the most innovative nostr client out there, with huge potential.

I created a quick diagram to illustrate the Primal cache issue in a simplified way that may help some people understand what is going on and help with choices about which client to use. There are many ways to build clients and there are advantages and disadvantages of each.

In Primal’s case, notes are served from Primal’s cache server which gets notes from the relays rather than the client getting them directly from the relays. The advantage to this is that much of the processing can be done on the server side resulting in a very smooth and consistent experience for users.

The down side to this is that it becomes centralised as, without the server infrastructure operated by Primal themselves, the client completely stops working (the cache is open source but I’m not aware of any other instances of the Primal cache being run and most users wouldn’t use a different one anyway). The issues with this centralisation are that it make Primal much more prone to outages and it would be very easy for ISPs to block Primal just by DNS blocking of the Primal cache server or blocking the associated IPs. Primal could also potentially filter or censor the feed from their cache although I’m not aware of whether they actually do this currently.

For me personally, I want a client that talks directly to the relays and does the processing locally but others may be comfortable with the limitations and loss of decentralisation and find that Primal provides a good experience.

One of the best things about Nostr is that you can take your key and move to a different client. It is worthwhile experimenting with different clients to find the experience that best suits you. πŸ’œπŸ«‚

Is damus' nostrdb a better alternative to primal caching? Seems so, since, as I understand, it's running on the client, no?

Not only normies. Actually, almost everyone, you and myself included.

The Labour government is killing private education, or at least, making it even more elitite than it currently is. But to be fair, this all started with the scandalous and disastrous management of public funds during the pandemic years...

I still haven't recovered from that Β£7 Christmas card, last Friday. Maybe I should have just returned it, and asked for a refund? lol πŸ˜…πŸ˜±

I was really moved. πŸ§‘πŸ™

Maybe an odd thing to say, but you very much look Cameroonian. πŸ™‚
