*looks at YAPWLA* Yet Another Profile With Laser Eyes the Shania Twain side of me says YDIMM You Don't Impress Me Much

give this post 40k sats if you want me to write a good blog article about how to set up an account on Nostr, explain what to keep in mind, common beginner's mistakes to avoid, and provide a good introduction to Nostr for beginners.

this advice won't work for the ladies, but if you're gentlemen: the size of your wallet tends to work a bit like your scrotum: it expands or shrinks depending on the weather. it manages.

*looks at zap wallet* it's not much, but if you find yourself with little, little is often sufficient.

i've not been on stage too many times, but the times i did that, the audience seemed to enjoy it. one time, i was trying to give a presentation at a startup seminar and i was just being me and people found me funny. the other time, i was playing the piano, and a girl came up to talk to me, and a musician wanted to offer me advice on how to become a professional. i like when people respond so i do that kind of stuff.

if you are arranging a Nostr conference, it wouldn't hurt to invite me to the panel. if you know my Nostr account, you'll know i'm anything but boring. if necessary, i'll wear a fun hat and play the piano at the evening jam session, and maybe even cook some good meals.

i'm not seeing packed seats at Nostrica. and it's not a big venue. i'm guessing about 30 people.

someone please tell me the name of this song. i had no idea how to google it so i had to make a MIDI of it: "every" kid seemed to know how to play it when i was a kid.

i wonder if they would let a client that allowed plugins/extensions into the App Store. i have my doubts.

got a request for making an account on berserker.town and the stated reason for joining is "making friend" i'm smelling a click farm. they sometimes find my site and type some generic thing in that field.

more social media clients should have a PIM built into them so you can keep a list of interesting people and make notes on them. just a field to input a personal note per user that could be searched from somewhere in the client to find back to people would help a lot. it's doable to store this on the network itself because if a client wants to keep private data there, all it has to do is encrypt it with the user's private key.

i'm interested in debugging why NADAR (https://nadar.tigerville.no) isn't working well for some people. can people please test and report what kind of browsers, add-ons and connections you are using? MOST of the relays should *not* be listed as offline in the results, so if it does that for you, i want to know everything you can tell me about how your browser is behaving, including the debug console if possible.

i usually say i hate getting into arguments with people, but if you actually manage to challenge me a bit and can keep going at it in a civil way for hours without even once saying something stupid, i'm actually okay with that.

*sees some post that has been proven flawed by metastudies repeatedly* they'd get very upset with their most recent idea if i showed them the evidence that it's no use. so i won't. ideally, it should work to correct that mistake, but in reality, it just makes you really unpopular.

one of the first records to be recorded and released digitally was ABBA's The Visitors in 1981/82. i had it down as 1975 for some reason. might be some other release i'm thinking about. it can be streamed on YouTube here:
