haters on X: bitcoiners should stop talking about seed oils, carnivore diet, paleo, conspiracy theories, social conservatism. haters on nostr: nostriches should stop talking about bitcoin. talk about something, anything else. no! but not carnivore, seed oils, conspiracies, orthodox social theories. wait, what happened to the problem of us talking about these other subjects? in what way did all the rest of our favourite subjects change in frequency and composition since we moved here? haters need to go fuck themselves. that's why feed control is client side on nostr. they are doing their hating for engagement and thus prominence and thus free advertising. unfortunately still most nostr users don't get the issue at hand and still act like we should have our clients mistreat us the same way as facebook and xitter do.

another little piece of fallout from my dabbling with https://iris.to - it broke my relays list. https://coracle.social really is the best #nostr client. web of trust filtering and proper implementation of NIPs and not breaking profile notes with garbage...

v1.2.2 minor patch release and one new feature - `show` which prints out (prompting for password if encrypted) your nostr secret and public keys in both bech32 (nsec/npub) and hex format. https://github.com/mleku/signr the addition was made as i need to generate new keys for doing tests on a relay deployment system i am working on, and i don't want to use my main vanity mined key where i might accidentally put it somewhere i don't mean it to be, so the tool is now inside the container that needs a secret key for testing.

in the process of trying to explain balkans vegetable preserve technique i finally learned exactly how it works, as i had never tried to do it i never bothered to learn the details. it's pretty simple, mostly you just have to make sure the veg is clean and not already rotting, and anything with air gaps inside it, are opened up so the water will go into them. the solution is basically salt and water, but you can add some spices and vinegar and sugar, the sugar will make the final result more sour but this isn't the critical thing. the two critical things apart from the veg being clean and healthy, and not having air gaps inside them, is that you 1. boil the water you use first, this drives out the oxygen dissolved in the water 2. allow the vegetables to stay fully submerged and not in contact with air for 3 weeks, after which you should then fully seal the container. this process allows the vegetables to last at room temperature and low light, sealed, for 6-12 months, with a level of retained nutrients in it similar to how yoghurt allows milk to be stored for 1-2 weeks without refrigeration before it spoils - but yoghurt is more unstable than vegetables in oxygen-free salty water inside a sealed jar. #foodstr #balkans #sauerkraut #diy
