"I told you so" is such a bad explanation for anything. Its simply a local error, stuck in the head of the believer. It helps no-one and progresses nothing.

New to nostr but totally feel at home. Love to learn, love testing and breaking things. Stupid questions incoming.

Rational Criticism is the way. Decentralised is the future. Freedom is the goal.
I'm challenging myself to create a super easy Action List for non-techy (in the slightest) people, think your parents, so they can achieve some substantial privacy and security improvements in their online lives without being lost at the very first sentence. I've been inspired by @GHOST and Naomi Brockwell, plus I've always enjoyed cutting through BS to communicate niche info to people who just don't get it.
This is going to take a while, I'm learning as I go, I know I'll get side tracked and go down rabbit holes, but it feels so so important to spread the word.
I'm a total newb to all of this, so very happy to be schooled and pointed in the general direction of any great resources.

I've hijacked the main TV (only compatible hdmi) and pinched my sons keyboard and mouse so I can play with my raspberry pi. I havnt a clue, I
can't believe it but its working, I'm doing it and that's the main thing.
The plan is to hopefully 🤞🤞🤞🤞 use the laptop via a remote set up. This will be a win, I'll then be able to play/tinker/learn when and where everat my own pace.
Hopefully some coding will follow, a small hacked hobby project maybe and then eventually a node later this year.
Baby steps first though, but cheers for the inspiration #nostr #nostrdevs #nostrplebs #plebs #plebchain
A beautiful late afternoon walk just as the sun dropped behind the hills. It got down to -3 so will be a very cold evening. Fire on. Happy days.


I've eaten tiramisu for the past 7 days. Make of that what you want.
Great video by Naomi Brockwell outlining 3 very simple steps to improving your online privacy.

I know I'm generally preaching to the converted here and must have a much deeper understanding than myself, but I made these changes 6 mths ago, and tbh the alternative apps are better, it's just about breaking the convenience & familiarity loops.
Happy New Nostr Year - for myself and family, 2026 is going to be the year of increased privacy, greater financial control and freedom.
Nostr thank you. I've been here just over 4 months and you've gone a long way to restoring my faith in online communities and social platforms (I know its not a platform and that it's not limited to social media, ha).
I've learnt so much regarding nostr, self sovereignty, online privacy and tech in general. I love it when I can see progress and this protocol has been massive in my own personal development but I also just love watching how fast others build, fix, upgrade, report, write. Inspirational.
Here's to nostr 2026, cheers in advance 🍺

Hey @YakiHonne I have multiple DMs saying "Decrypting message" but no message has come through, for days now. Just wondering if I'm missing anything? ✌️
When the kids don't get it, it's not that they don't get it, it's that you (me) are shit at explaining it. Get it.
