You can just do things. Big things.

Pro tip for being a good security engineer, instead of trying to make your peers fear the consequences of a vulnerability, invite them to play with the vulnerability and learn the risks themselves. Give them some working exploit code or demo. Show them the cool trick, then let them imagine the risks. Only elaborate on the risks after they accept the invitation to play. Fear is tyranny. Play is collaborative.

The ai slop bots are showing up on nostr. The quantity is more funny than annoying right now, but they will improve and maybe realize the em-dashes and “emoji bullets” give them away. I don’t want an algorithm, but I am thinking a community built bot blocker might be good.

When people continue to ignore what you are saying, it's because they may not feel your message is relevant to their needs or priorities. This can happen for several reasons: 1. Your communication style might not match their preferred way of receiving information 2. They might be distracted by other concerns or stressors 3. There could be a trust or credibility gap that needs to be bridged 4. Your message might not be addressing their actual pain points or interests 5. The timing might be wrong - they may not be ready to hear what you're saying Thanks Claude. That helps a bit.

Just installed a comma 3X in my Kia EV6 to enhance it’s self-driving capability. Literally trusting open source software with your life is an interesting experience. Things went much better than I expected, very chill ride, about 45 minutes mostly highway with slight rain. No major scares, way less manual takeovers than stock highway driving assist.

Zulia, Matrix, IRC, discord, nostr, what do you think is best chat system for an open source community project ?
