Random person on the internet. I sometimes blog or work on projects I might talk about here.
Made a hacked together Python client for Nostr, ActivityPub, & AT:

"Since I love a questionable analogy for LLMs Research Goblin is... well, it’s a goblin. It’s very industrious, not quite human and not entirely trustworthy. You have to be able to outwit it if you want to keep it gainfully employed."

Random goodies you might find handy. Plus a password manager, I forgot about that.
Took some photos of the Milky Way the other day, still trying figure out the best edits, but so far got this.

#photography #astrophotographyRIP to my tomato and pepper plants. They survived last winter after I brought them inside, giving me a few tomatoes and peppers mid winter, but I'm moving and they're not going to be surviving that.
Random pro tip, pocket notebooks are really handy. They don't actually need to be kept in your pocket, if you regularly carry a backpack or purse/manbag you can toss it in there.
I use my phone for reminders/alarms, and Joplin for syncing long form notes and more reference sort of stuff, but a notebook feels more 'accessible' (for a lack of a better term) and it's easier to flip through a notebook of random stuff than to scroll through an unorganized notes app. For me, I also feel a little more mentally organized having things written out over being typed up. Life's been busy, and having one on hand seems to have helped preserve a bit of sanity.

World Economic Forum ‘rigged data’ to make Brexit look like failure
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has been accused of rigging research to make Brexit look like a failure.
@Soapbox Does mkstacks & /or nostrify support NIP-42? I've been trying to implement it into a project, and every time I do (both Mkstacks and GitHub Copilot + Nostrify mcp) it nukes the UI for whatever reason. I'm thinking it's a good chance it's just a case of the stupids (on my part or the LLM's), but wanted to ask before dumping a bunch of time and/or tokens into a project without knowing for sure. Thanks
Happy tell-the-british-to-screw-off day
Toying around with trying to create a "standard" social media style app on Nostr, focused on posts shared within circles instead of the fully public microblogging that most stuff is focused on.
Made a custom NIP
And vibe coded a proof if concept (beware mobile users, the mobile view is not good atm)

Just a proof of concept, posts there aren't private since they're custom events but are being publicly broadcast (would need a custom relay setup). But it seems to be working.
Could use advice from people who know what they're doing, if there's any issues with the formatting of the custom NIP or a better way about going about things I'd greatly appreciate feedback.
