I ported Ditto Relay to Rust and it's 5x faster. I hate Rust but it seems almost immoral not to do this.

Blusky can only post 300 characters? What is this, 2009?

I will defend my engagement bait post: private keys are large random numbers. Authentication tokens are large random numbers. UUIDs are large random numbers. Passwords are large deterministic numbers. Passkeys, 2-factor auth, and similar work off large random numbers. Small random numbers can be guessed quickly. Medium random numbers can be guessed slowly. Large random numbers can be guessed in millennia, which is only considered a long time relative to a human's lifespan. Large "unguessable" numbers is the basis of all computer encryption and authentication. But no number is truly "unguessable". It just takes longer to guess, because it is more obscure. Economics are still in play. "Security" colloquially is relative to human lifespans, but truly no such thing can exist absolutely. Only levels of obscurity exist. Therefore, all security is obscurity. Ya bunch of dumbasses. View quoted note →

Security by obscurity IS security. This is in fact how virtually all cryptographic functions and authentication works.

"All software is apps" wrong. All software is plug-ins.

This is an AI reenactment of an event that actually took place in my backyard last night for real.

Armada has hit the front page of Hacker News. 110+ upvotes. #winning

Armada: Encrypted, Open-Source, Discord Alternative (Built on Nostr) | Hacker News

I think Steve Jobs is wrong in that famous clip with the heckler. If you start from the "costumer experience" we should have flying cars by now. You need engineering to know what's within the realm of possibility. It's not one or the other - it's a balance.

Reimplementing like half a web browser from scratch on iOS because iOS sucks. Starting with IndexedDB.

The new MySpace is doing great. These idiots can't even vibe code.

What else should I bridge xnostr to? LinkedIn?

Cool shit only exists on Nostr. Everything else is herculean even in the age of AI. You can just do things on Nostr.

Rainbow Player code is here:

gitworkshop - Decentralized Git

Decentralized GitHub alternative over Nostr for browsing repositories, managing issues, and collaborating on pull requests.

It's still under development and it's a side-side-side project. Just something I wish to exist.

Rainbow Player on Steam Deck 👀

I'm now crossposting to both X and Bluesky from Nostr through xnostr on Tenna. Running entirely on my device.

Hello Bluesky

@Zapstore , can I block this idiot? Please give me a mute button.

The web is still the greatest platform. This perverted fantasy that "we can write everything in Rust now so we should" is only going to create more walled gardens.

DOOD PlayStation 2 games in Rainbow Player. 🤯 The emulation still kinds sucks. But imagine this, you insert any type of CD or DVD-ROM, and whatever it is, it "just works"
