Random prediction based on nothing, a pure shot in the dark: Nostr will never take off. Bitcoiners will use it, build cool shit with it, etc. Most normies will get herded into digital fiefdoms (well, they already have)

@jack do you like pie? If so, do you have a favorite? I am a sucker for apple pie.

Can someone explain to me why I would want to have a home miner? As I currently understand It would be very unlikely for me to actually mine a block as a solo miner.

My biggest fear right now is losing all my BTC due to poor opsec. - using a computer connected to the internet to sign transactions - kyc exchanges (swan) I mean I'm not that afraid. It will be a good experience if you can believe it. It's just the starting over from zero that spooks me. If I restart at all.

I'm using Gossip client, and my nip-05 has a strike through it. I set up everything as described in different guides. Does anyone have any pointers? What information do you need from me?

My next nostr project will be to host my own nostr relay. I've settled on strfry, it seems like it is widely used so resources will be more available.

I think I'm finally nip-05 verified. Although I'm not being very good with Opsec since I'm tying this my IRL identity.

How expensive is streaming video? Like if I were to host my own streaming platform for example. How much would it cost? And what techniques could I use to reduce costs?

This is also a blessing of things like rejoining Nostr again. It's humbling because there are so many programmers on here shipping some really interesting tools. I can barely wrap my head around some of it. It's humbling because how much I don't know is so apparent.

I've been reading up on C the last few weeks. So far I am enjoying it. It's hard. I am not a formally educated progammer so learning C has highlighted to me a lot of these gaps. One thing I like about C is the same thing I like about Go: Very small lexicon. I know C is dangerous and all, but I think that is a plus in a way. Because it forces you to be smart with your code. Like drawing with pen instead of pencil.

This is why nostr is so theraputic. I can just shout into the void at random strangers.

I buddy was telling me that I am a man wading against the tide. Because of BSD and I'm learning C.

Been doing a deep dive into the BSDs. I feel like a freak because I'm having so much fun with it.
