@fr34aky Some feedback on fips2go: when bootstrapping on a cellular network, I'm getting errors like '2026-09-23T13:41:28.632354Z WARN fips::node::lifecycle: Failed to send handshake message link_id=link:2 error=send failed: Address family not supported by protocol (os error 97)'. My clanker says this: "On a DNS64/NAT64 mobile network (IPv6-only carrier), every handshake send fails with `os error 97` (EAFNOSUPPORT) and the node ends up with 0 links. On any normal IPv4/DNS network the same config links fine. Root cause looks like an address-family mismatch: the UDP transport is bound to `0.0.0.0:37259` (AF_INET) but the peer endpoint is a hostname (`$name.fips.network:2121`), which DNS64 resolves to a synthesized AAAA. The resulting `SocketAddr` is AF_INET6 and `sendto()` on the AF_INET socket fails. `udp_bind` is in `ConfigStore.RETIRED_KEYS`, so the bind family can't be changed from the UI."

A more permanent instance of Bitblik over FIPS is up. It's on a fucking Raspberry, so I cannot vouch for its stability. Let me know if it's reachable! View quoted note →

This is cool. Taking it down now. Next week I'll dig up an old Raspberry and will try to set up a permanent node. View quoted note →

Decentralized commerce needs decentralized infrastructure. A time will come when Bitcoiners will be forced to build in places that are harder to reach for the state apparatus, away from censorship, ID checks and takedown notices. A central piece in all of that transitioning away from traditional internet domains that can be shut down easily. Luckily, achieving this has never been easier and it will take years before the machine catches up with us. As a little demo, you can check out a @BitBlik instance served over @FIPS from my personal PC: https://npub1d97zuys7eg0ehdsnrf8t3cs2xy0xfvrj4ukrx64hdrrda6r76nfsc0n7qr.fips:8080/ No domains, no static ip, no rented hosting, just a goddamn computer standing under my desk. To reach it, ask your clanker how to set up FIPS (from this repo: https://github.com/jmcorgan/fips) service and .fips name resolution on your machine. After it is done, you can just use your standard internet browser. And if you wanna reach it from an Android phone, just grab fips2go (

The open app store where users meet builders. Curated by communities. Android apps.

from Zapstore, add your internet browser to the list of FIPS-enabled apps and voila! Expect intermittent availability, from time to time I step away from the computer and shut it down :)

Are there any high-quality curated lists of nostr clients grouped by NIPs they implement?

Trying out fips2go by @fr34aky. Is there any public index of @FIPS sites that I could visit?

Today I learned that self-hosting a lightning address is a bitch. Should be working now, but boy why am I doing this to myself?

Listening to Breedlove talking about harmony in music, I felt the need to set something straight. On X, unfortunately. I thought I should also post it here.

I can't believe I haven't shared anything by Leprous yet. Definitely one of the most interesting prog (or however you'd classify it) bands out there. What really buys me are those rhythmic subtleties, syncopations and accents in unusual places that make this music extremely hard to perform, but in a way that's not obvious to an untrained ear on the first listen. And if you get the opportunity to see them live, I definitely recommend it.

Anything Louis Cole does is dope (or at least interesting). My fav is definitely Clown Core (viewer discretion is advised):

So called "white voice" is a type of folk singing common to all Slavic cultures (although it can be found all across the globe) and is characterized by a very strong, forward-placed resonance, producing a distinct "buzz". The buzz is the raw sound of fully connected vocal folds, not attenuated by any unnecessary tension in the vocal tract. Anglophone sources speak of this type of singing as a "controlled shout", but this is a huge misconception, in my opinion. I would call it more of a call than a shout. You can hear it in our example below - even quiet, delicate sounds possess the same consistent quality. Too me, it's the most pure type of singing - no mannerisms, no hiding your shame behind various stylizations, no trying to sound impressive. From my experience, people are either mesmerised by this song or (rarely) find the voice too harsh, too piercing. I wonder how you guys will react.
