Beyond Aesthetics - The Biological Need for Biophilic Environments http://njump.to/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzpefrwq36tsyjneawpegj34q6sgf38pqqasgsm05a3g5j0rezklqnqyvhwumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszxthwden5te0wpex2mtfw4kjuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcqgf3x27t0dejz6ct9wd6xset5d93hxtfd946xsefdvf5k7mr0va5kxctv94hx2ety94nx7u3dvf5k7urgd9kxjcedv4h8v6tjdahx6etww3est56x0z  [Biophilia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophilia_hypothesis), the term popularized by biologist E.O. Wilson, describes our genetically hardwired need for natural environments. Since humans evolved in nature, our bodies and minds only function optimally when immersed in it. This isn't abstract theory—Roger Ulrich's 1984 clinical study proved hospital patients viewing trees healed faster and needed less pain medication than those facing brick walls. Modern buildings often sever this essential connection, compromising our wellbeing. Biophilic design bridges this gap by embedding nature's patterns, natural material complexity, "prospect and refuge" in spatial arrangements. I remember @plebpoet did something similar for a SNZ edition, it was [#30](https://stacker.news/items/1264575/r/deSign_r)  https://stacker.news/items/1360694

Bitcoin Keeper is Moving to a Community-Led Model https://medium.com/bitbees/bitcoin-keeper-is-moving-to-a-community-led-model-69becccf7b00  All features are now free. Development will be led by individual contributors. Optional tips introduced in the app. Bitcoin Keeper was designed to help people hold bitcoin securely, independently, and for the long term. As the product has matured, it’s become clear that the way Keeper is built matters just as much as the features it offers. https://stacker.news/items/1357212

The Chores of Ordinary Life

The Chores of Ordinary Life

The artist is always on call.

 _Creative is something you are, not only something you do. It’s a way of moving through the world, every minute, every day. The artist is always on call._  There’s no right or wrong time to do this work. It’s always happening. If we’re committed to the artistic or creative life, there are no “off hours.” You exist in a constant state of receptivity. Even if you’re washing the dishes or going for a walk, you’re still engaged on some level. This practice is about noticing where your thoughts and attention go when you’re not directly engaged in your craft. It’s about remaining open and receptive to creative inspiration, even when you’re involved in the chores of ordinary life. # ⊙ https://stacker.news/items/1316306

GitHub - YuurinBee/SAIBA-45: SAIBA-45 Font [Open-Source Fonttype]

SAIBA-45 Font [Open-Source Fonttype]. Contribute to YuurinBee/SAIBA-45 development by creating an account on GitHub.

  SAIBA-45 is a display font that was inspired by CyberPunk, NeoTokyo, Mecha, Manga/Anime, Retro, Tech, and Futuristic styles. It was intended to be used for short-form and large-format displays, but not limited to this type of application. Efficient ways to experiment with this font are provided in graphic examples below, but include: distinct logotypes, stylized names and text, unique vector characters, bold titles, and more. The name SAIBA was chosen as the "katakazination" (transforming English to Katakana) of the English word "Cyber" to be pronounced with Japanese vowels and syllables. The word cyber translates to サイバー in Japanese, which is pronounced as "Saiba". The 45 in SAIBA-45 is reflective of the 45 degree angles used to create the prominent edges, defining the look and feel of the font. This font has been in development since 2021. > [!IMPORTANT] > **SAIBA-45 is a free, open-source fonttype and scalable vector graphics.**<br> > License: [GNU General Public License v3.0](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html)<br> > Author: [Formless Labs](https://www.behance.net/formlesslabs)<br> > Contributors: [YuurinBee](https://github.com/yuurinbee), [JSKitty](https://github.com/jskitty), [Joshua Fern](https://github.com/JoshuaFern)<br> > Contact: [YuurinBee](https://twitter.com/YuurinB)<br>           https://stacker.news/items/1315869

A Design for Erasure-Coded, Privacy-Preserving Blob Storage

Max (npub1kl…lx3vt) on Nostr

(Nostr-Native Distributed Storage System)

Nostr-Native Distributed Storage System

# Nostr-Native Distributed Storage System The latest iteration of Garland, a privacy-preserving distributed storage system built on Nostr and Blossom, using erasure coding for durability and single-key recovery.  This document describes a distributed storage system built upon Nostr and Blossom infrastructure that provides durable, privacy-preserving storage for immutable blobs through erasure coding across independent servers. The system maintains a hierarchical namespace analogous to a filesystem through content-addressed manifests organized in a Merkle DAG structure. State evolution is tracked via a cryptographically-linked hash chain of commit events, enabling complete auditability and straightforward disaster recovery. The entire dataset-including all historical state-remains recoverable from a single cryptographic key. This design prioritizes user sovereignty: the owner explicitly controls when changes are committed, which servers store their data, and when obsolete data is garbage collected. https://stacker.news/items/1315465
