@elsat did you lose your follow list? image We just had a team meeting to talk about two of our employees who lost their lists around Nostriga and noticed yours. We are cooking some things which you will hear about soon but in the meantime I learned about which seems to work well for recovery.

If you are at Nostriga with an Apple device download the @Comingle app and you can check out the full schedule and RSVP to the sessions you are interested in. Then tap your profile picture -> View Profile to see a list of everything you have RSVPed to.

@jb55 have you posted stats anywhere on how much traffic strfry is handling on relay.damus.io? I’m curious how big of a server you are running it on too and how much it cost. I heard that it costs thousands of dollars per month to run a Bluesky PDS(!?) and it’s an interesting comparison.

Wow, just got access to the beta Apple Intelligence and… it’s awful. I tried generating an image, summarizing an email, asking Siri if she was an LLM, and some other requests. All failed spectacularly, mostly resulting in Siri offering to Google search something that sounded phonetically like what I asked for but was wrong.

Nostr but with GraphQL. Would it be good? Or just a DoS mess? So many of the more arcane problems with building a good client come out of the simple query language of REQs.

@Ben Arc @npub1cx4q...8vf0 @dni hey I’m working on a project at @nos where we are setting up a paid relay using LNBits. Unfortunately we’re running up against a deadline so I’m reaching out for some help. I’m having trouble doing NIP-42 auth with the relay. I think maybe there is a bug in the implementation but maybe I am just dumb. I haven’t done NIP-42 before. I wrote up the details here: Would appreciate your thoughts when you have the chance!

To get over my fear of soldering I decided to order the unassembled kit for this open-source trackball mouse instead of the assembled version. I attempted to solder the sensor last weekend and it went really poorly. I thought I had burned the board and I accidentally soldered two pins together that shouldn’t have been. A few YouTube tutorials later and I’m ready to try again. This time with some solder wick, one of these cleaner things, and solder that’s actually small enough for a circuit board (I had my dad’s plumbing solder 🤦). Wish me luck. image

Is there a good NIP-46 server I can easily self-host?
