@0xtr Is your relay private now, or did I hit some kind of overeager spam control? 🤔 image

Was looking for a coffee shop to work from in the area and accidentally ended up with this view: image I think I might come back here, because it's actually somewhat motivating for working on bitcoin-related things. 😅

This is cool, but why would I want a social identity attached to my network access? Don't we want our transports to be as anonymous as possible? Maybe I misunderstand how this works, or what it's for... View article →

One thing that's interesting to me is when FOSS creators complain about LLMs "stealing" "private" code. Isn't it actually amazing how you can use the LLMs' knowledge of that code for creating more FOSS now? Epic win in my book. Free ALL THE CODE! ✊

Is there any Nostr event kind for reviews that includes a property for a rating/score? I.e. "4 out of 5 stars", like GMaps or Amazon. I'm adding Nostr place reviews (with photos) for OSM POIs to my new unhosted maps app this week, and I don't want to reinvent the wheel. /cc @BTC Map

I don't think we all use the same definition for the term "censorship resistance": A permissioned network with known validators, of which you only need to compel a third to censor transactions or freeze funds, is almost the opposite of "censorship-resistant" in my book. Maybe I'm missing something? 🤔

🎉 Join me at Hacker Beach! 📅 December 31, 2025PST 📍 Koh Lanta Yai, Thailand Hacker Beach is a month-long, spontaneous, self-organized gathering of hackers and like-minded people on a tropical island (or coast). It happens every year in January. There is no organization, no prepackaged deal, no tickets to purchase, or registration forms to submit. The gist is: if you want to recharge your body and mind in a warm and relaxed place, with enough Internet to work and play from, affordable accommodation, delicious food, and no rowdy tourist groups around, but instead a bunch of hackers and their friends… just show up at our destination sometime during the month of January! 🔗

For someone without any experience in AI image generation, what are currently the best options for generating decorative illustrations (e.g. of mascot animals) with transparent backgrounds, and perhaps even in SVG format, for use on websites and in apps?
