There needs to be a new type of Nostr note that signs a nonce with the same key every time but each new note is published with a new key. The current arrangement is bad cryptographic security. Read BIP 340.

There needs to be a note type for "switch to new npub to continue following this npub, kthxbye". I'm considering making a new key, just for a laff. It is also bad cryptographic practise to use EC keys for more than one message anyhow. Read BIP 340.

Something that is happening rn that reminds me how feeble the internet really is, is that I have burned through 200gb of data on my Vodafone mobile internet tourist plan. Until I organise something else, my max download speed is 150kb/s, though probably it goes faster at night when everyone isn't watching 4k youtube videos on their 5" mobile phones.

I don't leave tabs open in my browser any more. Control-W, Control-W, Control-W. Ah, it's gone. Time to get back to work.

Number one clue that we are going to see a massive electromagnetic event in the near future is that everything needs to be rewritten. The software is such a mess. Web browsers were not meant to be user interfaces, but rather, libraries. When things go this wrong, they always have to crash.

I remember the days before the internet. They were a lot more peaceful. I am not saying that the connection isn't a good thing, rather, that we should still store all our data locally, and not depend on the wires to give us everything, or when they inevitably fail, we will have nothing.

I've hit a stumbling block with the phone abolition project, namely, banking. I am going to attempt to run my bank app inside anbox, fingers crossed I can do it. If I can, I'm gonna be so happy. If not, I'm still gonna be happy, because that device is going to be only ever used for this, and otherwise in a metal box. Another project that is evolving out of all this relates to my abhorrence of the web browser. Namely, a dictionary. I'm not going for the hard copy solution, because why should I clutter my space up when I have a storage and encoding/decoding device with a massively higher word/gram ratio than any book????!!!! That doesn't make sense.

The 5 Best Dictionary Apps for Linux

Everyone comes across new words every day. With these dictionary tools, you can quickly learn more about such words on Linux.

I'm trying out Artha. It is summoned by default with the keys Ctrl-Alt-W. Word, I guess. This is very nice. As a programmer, one of the most frequent problems one encounters is coming up with good names. It's my firm opinion that after humans finally have a Carrington Event after the age of electronic computers reaches its peak, everyone is going to stop thinking about the internet as something to count on. Good. It also will mean the value of optical transmission and faraday cages will become interesting to people who have got used to living in a fog of electromagnetic noise. I can't wait, actually! Bring on the Carrington Event. There's a lot of cool things to look forward to when most of the world's electronics are fried, and I for one, am not gonna be suffering. I'm going to have my computer work space already prepared. Full Faraday cage, with earthing. Everything inside it earthed, no radio inside the faraday cage ,that's just stupid. All devices with added shielding to ensure they leak as little EMF as possible. I will have offline dictionaries, massive amounts of archival data storage, books, libraries, media, all sitting there like a little Noah's Ark of teh Information Age. If you aren't already starting to think in this direction, that's ok, someone is. When your gear turns into inert matter, don't worry, you can come to me to query my database.
