@nostr.build what are you all thinking about the Blossom stuff? Any plans to adopt this or another decentralized file storage protocol at Nostr.build? https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom/blob/master/Server.md

@fiatjaf when do we move the nips repo to ngit or similar?
I get really angry when an org gets hacked and my data is stolen and in return they give me “1 year of identity theft monitoring” as if that’s going to do anything. The thieves can just wait a year to sell or use the data.
However nowadays my data is stolen so frequently that by the time one year of free coverage ends there is another year of free coverage available from some other company. It’s funny in a way.
Are most nostr clients using NIP-50 for search or something else? The two most popular relay implementations, strfry and nostr-rs-relay, don’t support NIP-50. We are looking for a big, reliable search relay to add to the default list in Nos.

@Vitor Pamplona what logic does Amethyst use to decide whether to show a content warning on reported content? We have a AI bot (@Reportinator) going around labeling stuff and we’ve had several complaints and some targeted harassment towards our employees from Amethyst users who don’t like it.
In Nos we only listen to reports from people you follow, but it sounds like Amethyst is doing something broader?
@Terry Yiu I'm curious, since you have some experience with our codebase, do you see any high value areas in Nostr SDK that we could take advantage of in Nos? Besides the NIP-44 stuff of course. And do you have any ideas on how you would integrate Nostr SDK with a persistence framework? Is there one other than Core Data that you like?
I just heard that the Swift Nostr SDK from @Terry Yiu and company hit 0.1.0 and is ready for folks to start using. I just opened a PR to pull it into Nos, we're going to take advantage of the new NIP-44 encryption code right away. Has anyone else started using it on a project?

This adds the Nostr SDK as a dependency. The main reason we need it is for its native Swift implementation of NIP-44 encryption which we need for #...
Just got this email from Amazon: “Your new pharmacy is Amazon Pharmacy”. What a dystopian way to phrase it. What PR department thought this was good phrasing for a product announcement?? Aren’t they under investigation for anti-competitive behavior?

Working from home with two kids under two has been rough lately. I did some research on the noise-canceling headphones that are best at cancelling out babies crying, and the consensus seems to be the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultras. They cost way more than I have ever spent on headphones, but man do they sound great, and they do a very good job of cancelling out the crying. It’s not 100% but with my door shut and music playing I can’t hear it at all. When nothing is playing I can still hear things faintly but so far it hasn’t been enough to pull me out of a flow state.
Just set up borg on a new macbook for backups. I use it for all my computers and servers, and I highly recommend it if you want to self-host! It ticks all the boxes for good backups:
- open source
- nice GUI and CLI (Vorta for the GUI)
- encryption
- deduplication
- compression
- backup to multiple destinations, including any SSH destination. I use borgbase.com and my home server.
- works on Linux and macOS
- robust scheduler
- alerts when backups don’t run
Dune Part Two at the 70mm IMAX was amazing. Probably the best cinematic experience I’ve ever had (Avenger’s Endgame is probably my second). It’s been so long since I’ve seen such a confident, epic, serious movie that wasn’t trying to use nostalgia, brands, sarcasm, and breaking the fourth wall to get me to like it. I haven’t read the books but it’s clear the Dune world building is on par with LOTR or Harry Potter, and it’s refreshing to see some producers apparently get the keys to do it right.
Hey folks, I was gone for a bit taking care of our new baby. What did I miss?
