On a vacation this weekend and weather has been cloudy and cool. Meh.

Corny Chat is currently up but not talking to nostr for server side stuff. - no zap goal refresh - no live activity publishing - no scheduled events - weekly high scores won't publish Client side should let you join room if previously authenticated or enter anonymously. - zaps are likely broken - live activity text may he broken - slides and link save/load may not work View quoted note →

My primary development goals for Corny Chat this year will be to 1. Figure out how to build and include patched versions of nostr-relaypool module or.. gut that logic and just use a single relay 2. Decouple dependencies on nostr relays to operate so that the app can fail more gracefully when the relays puke. 3. I may have to setup a relay in the stack but that would really suck. If anyone knows a good way to talk to multiple nostr relays with a npm module from a react app let me know. No I won't rewrite the app in something else. At this point I'd consider decommissioning the service if I can't get through #1 above.

Decided to rewatch Braveheart Really good movie. One of my favorites

Researchers discover massive Wi-Fi vulnerability affecting multiple access points — AirSnitch lets attackers on the same network intercept data and launch machine-in-the-middle attacks

There

The researchers found that these vulnerabilities exist in five popular home routers — Netgear Nighthawk x6 R8000, Tenda RX2 Pro, D-LINK DIR-3040, TP-Link Archer AXE75, and Asus RT-AX57 — two open-source firmwares — DD-WRT v3.0-r44715 and OpenWrt 24.10 — and across two university enterprise networks. This shows that the issue is not just limited to how manufacturers make and program their routers. Instead, it’s a problem with Wi-Fi itself, where its architecture is vulnerable to attackers who know how to take advantage of its flaws.

Absolutely insane

🚨 CORNY CHAT UPDATE!! 🌽💬 It's been a few weeks since the last update. For now, I'm shifting focus to bugfixes instead of new features until satisfied with the overall stability again. 🌟 Improved user feedback in zap invoice panel - LUD-06 responses that are errors can return as a 200 status ok response. This is a weakness of the specification but valid. - Previously, Corny Chat expected a wallet provider to supply a payment request matching the specification if the lightning address was valid. Alby, does not always do that, and may return a error message instead. - This enhancement halts the spinning wheel animation after requesting the invoice and bubbles up that error to the user so they know the cause and have steps to resolve it. 🌟 Zap Goal Improvements - A new background process on the server tallies server infrastructure zap goal balance across configured wallets from LNBits. This is cached (updated hourly) to improve performance - A new endpoint allows for retrieving the zap goal balance - Server zap goals now prefers fetching balance across configured wallets from LNBits, but if unreachable or 0 balance, it will fallback to the traditional interrogation of nostr relays for zap receipts - For Corny Chat, multiple wallets are configured. All payments to vic@satsilo.com or cornychatdev@satsilo.com get accumulatd towards the infrastructure goal Build 20260226.1214

Worth noting that the prior cycle decline was 13 months from peak to trough. We recently surpassed 14 months for this one. View quoted note →

Topped up the relay for thebarn used by corny chat. Service back online.

Update: In the past 24 hours Bitcoin decline surpassed 69.420% hitting a low of 12.1603 ounces means it was down 69.643% from the high of 40.0583 set on 2024-12-18 Last cycle it went down 75.558% from 37.0231 ounces on 2021-10-21 to 9.04898 ounces on 2022-11-22. I still think we have a little more room to go for the bear cycle but this is a good dca area and I'm adding to my position. If we get down to 10 ounces, backup the truck and sell your neighbors kidneys View quoted note →
