gm, I'm almost at the point where I can talk about the Eagles Super Bowl loss. Almost.

Finally set up my lud16 address, just gonna start zapping randos

eep, had a busy couple of days away from nostr and somehow lost all my follows? adding errybody back now....

A semantic interpretation that I'm coming around to as I work through Clark's 'Designing an Internet': if you're not running your own autonomous system, peering with other ASs, and administering your own DNS servers *at minimum*, then it isn't reasonable to consider yourself an 'Internet user'. Most people who think of themselves as 'Internet users' are actually *customers* of Internet users - it's the ISPs that are actually using the Internet, and their customers are getting exactly as much access to the Internet (read: Netflix, Gmail, social media) as the ISPs deem acceptable.

me: ordinals pass the bar for rough consensus and running code, you can do as you please with your sats, there are no protocol police also me: the decline of usenet began when users figured out how to use it to store data

Usenet History: How Binaries Took Over Newsgroups

How Usenet—a protocol intended for conversations—was forever changed once the public figured out you could transfer binary files through it.

yeeeurgh just discovered a nasty bug in wss://nostr.relayer.se. fixing now, apologies for the unscheduled maintenance window :(

Question for relay users (so, everyone on nostr): So far I've been focusing on making my relay as private as possible - Onion Hidden V3 Service, running in njal.la, top level domains registered in privacy friendly jurisdictions, etc. What other features would you like to see in a privacy-focused relay?

If you're a nostr client developer looking to play around with a relay that's available as a Tor Onion v3 Hidden Service: wss://nostr.relayer.se in clearnet is now also reachable at: geeafhmczfy5jmfc36ud2vgfotsrdnc2vwrp2kczjka4afx42quc3qqd.onion

I wonder if there's any inteset in something like moa.party but for crossposting tweets a set of nostr relays instead of mastodon toots

GitLab

FedStoa / moa · GitLab

New home of Moa. Cross post between Mastodon, Twitter, and Instagram. Original repo on GitHub

So one thing I think nostr has gotten really, really right: switching costs between relays are insanely low by design.

Getting ready for nostr November...
