Justin Martyr describing what Christians did on Sunday in 155 AD, and continue to do in the present day. ✝️ --- First Apology, Chapter 67; Weekly worship of the Christians "And we afterwards continually remind each other of these things. And the wealthy among us help the needy; and we always keep together; and for all things wherewith we are supplied, we bless the Maker of all through His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Ghost. And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place, and the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read, as long as time permits; then, when the reader has ceased, the president verbally instructs, and exhorts to the imitation of these good things. Then we all rise together and pray, and, as we before said, when our prayer is ended, bread and wine and water are brought, and the president in like manner offers prayers and thanksgivings, according to his ability, and the people assent, saying Amen; and there is a distribution to each, and a participation of that over which thanks have been given, and to those who are absent a portion is sent by the deacons. And they who are well to do, and willing, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is deposited with the president, who succours the orphans and widows and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in want, and those who are in bonds and the strangers sojourning among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in need. But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Saviour on the same day rose from the dead. For He was crucified on the day before that of Saturn (Saturday); and on the day after that of Saturn, which is the day of the Sun, having appeared to His apostles and disciples, He taught them these things, which we have submitted to you also for your consideration."

GM NOSTR I've been quiet, but working hard. Big personal projects and work projects alike have me pretty jacked at the moment. Today we continue onward, zapping notes and other stuff as we please. Hope you have a great day. ⚔️

Nearly ready for some early testing. Goal is a simple system for nostr development on a dedicated machine. Connect from anywhere over nostr, sign and deploy securely, shoot for the stars. Coming soon nostr-station v0.0.3 - nostr-re-relay as local dev relay - nvpn as nostr mesh VPN - nak - ngit, nsite, github deployment - configurable AI tooling - optional Stacks install - Amber (NIP-46) signing bunkers - Watchdog automated DMs for relay status - and more

GM NOSTR! Today we continue working hard and zap notes and other stuff along the way. The week ends but our work does not. It's a beautiful morning. I've got a packed agenda at work with plans to cap it off by having a couple local pints with some good friends, one who is in from out of town. Stay humble. Remain grateful. PV friends and freaks ⚔️

I bought a Mac mini, but not to run OpenClaw or Clawdbot. I'm setting it up as a fully sovereign Nostr dev environment. My own relay. My own mesh VPN with Nostr identity. My own compounding knowledge base. My own 24/7 pair programmer on my own hardware, accessible from my desk or remote location. The stack: nostr-rs-relay (github.com/scsibug/nostr-rs-relay) as my always-on local relay nostr-vpn (github.com/mmalmi/nostr-vpn) as my Tailscale-style mesh VPN over Nostr ngit (github.com/gitworkshop/ngit) a Nostr-native version control Amber NIP-46 signer on my phone, nsec never touches a computer. So my code will be signed by my npub. llm-wiki (github.com/nvk/llm-wiki) as my compounding knowledge base A swappable AI agent, local or hosted as my AI layer, running on my hardware via SSH Shakespeare.diy showed me what building on Nostr could look like. This is me taking those same primitives and running them myself. Same agentic workflow, same Nostr stack, but every layer is mine. When I ship, I'll push signed commits from my phone, reference a knowledge base that already knows every design decision I made, and announce from the same identity that built it. Everything runs on my hardware, my relay, my keys. Is this what building on Nostr is supposed to feel like? What am I missing from this stack? Will write up my experience once all is said and done. #nostr #buildingonnostr #selfhosted #nostrdevs

GM Nostr Great day to go to Mass ✝️ I've spent a lot of free time this past week building about 1 app per day in shakespeare.diy. This has been incredibly fun and insightful. I think I've learned more about the nostr protocol in 5 days than I have in the past year being a user of multiple clients and tools. I'm super stoked as I've landed on a really solid concept for groundbreaking application. I stayed up late building out a lengthy spec for the idea so that I can start building it correctly. I think this idea is really unique and would actually benefit the nostr ecosystem. The spec is solid from what I can tell so later today I'll aim to break it out into phases before I begin building. ⚔️

Just shipped Nostrion. https://nostrion.shakespeare.wtf A private, encrypted productivity workspace on Nostr. Write notes, organize documents in folders, and manage tasks — all end-to-end encrypted with NIP-44 before leaving your browser. No central server. Your keys, your data, synced via your relays. Nostrion is interoperable with Onyx, a local-first note-taking app built on the same protocol. Where Onyx stores files on disk, Nostrion runs entirely in the browser and uses Nostr relays as the sync layer — making your documents accessible from any device without installing anything.

I want to kiss shakespeare.diy on the mouth

What are we/you working on today? I want to hear about it! #asknostr

Progress has been made. Ceilings and walls all painted, one final coat above the mold and some touch ups. Next weekend I'll be fighting through a serious session of sanding and aiming to finish these 130+ year old floors. Great day to work hard 🤙 bout to go find me a beer and pretend it's green.

I'll refrain from debating theology, as I don't see it helpful in this scenario, however I do have concern for truth. Perspectives and opinions are okay. But I value honesty and integrity. It's one thing to disagree with Catholic doctrine. It's another to misrepresent it. Especially when you have faithful Catholics and Orthodox pointing that out to you. Most biblical faiths will claim to know the secret sauce, but none that I'm aware claim that the individual must earn their own salvation. View quoted note → View quoted note →
