I've switched to making everything pointless to copy, by making it so incredibly transparent, complete, and simple, that everyone and everything will just use it. Copying is also effort, after all, and there is value in having others use your stuff, even if they haven't paid for it. Because you set a standard and strengthen a brand. I didn't know what to do, and everything is up in the air, so I've decided to just *open source even harder*. View quoted note →

I've spent most of my "career" struggling to improve data quality, so I think I probably appreciate the simple standard of the event construct, more than most people. Nostr events are really useful for all sorts of data sets in all sorts of environments. They aren't just a relay-thing or a social-thing. They're great for signing documents, parsing data, structuring data archives, machine2machine coms, etc.

I've got the repos displayed for GitHub, GitLab, Gitea/Forgeo and OneDev. I have no idea how to render repo content for #grasp. Anyone know how that works? #git #gnostr

I got dynamic, local, TTS working. Took me like 11 hours. Fell asleep in front of my laptop twice. 😂 This was legit my last attempt and then it suddenly worked and I feel like throwing a party or throwing up.

I'm souring on open source code, un-AUTHed relays, etc. I'm opening myself and my servers up to the shady scraper mafia and malicious bot army and creepy Internet stalkers (alive or mechnical), but receiving no discernable benefit in return. The people who work on private code with me can see it and nobody else has ever bothered to even look. And clients that can't AUTH are failed experiments and should simply be allowed to die. Good riddance to bad rubbish. In fact, I might AUTH my websites. You want to see it? Okay. Who are you? Have you already been here 5927401 times this hour? Asking for a fren.

I did this on a lark, but then I discovered that I can turn my screen lighting all the way down, and still read everything well, It feels like some sort of life hack. View quoted note →

Okay #aitherboard v0.3.0 just dropped. * Write any kind of event. * Edit/clone/replace any event. * View and reply to any event. * Delete events and npubs. * Report events and npubs. * Themes!! 🎉 * Greentext markup in the plain-text feeds and markup feeds. * Fixed responsiveness. * Advanced markup editors (handles both Markdown and Asciidoc and uses Codemirror 🤩) * Raw json always rendered with syntax highlighting. Same for repo files. And etc. Thanks to @The Beave for testing. GM

We at @GitCitadel have now imported half of Project Gutenberg to our #Orly 🦉 relay (actively developed and supported by @mleku). You can see my branch on:

Gitea: Git with a cup of tea

next.orly.dev

clone of https://git.mleku.dev/mleku/next.orly.dev

The second-half import will start tonight (it's a lot!). Then we start importing Wikipedia, in the various languages offered. We'll look for more data sources, after that. Will be millions of mid-sized events, once we're done. If you want to be an #Alexandria Library mirror, you might need to pimp your hardware, but you won't have to increase your event size-limits. Our relay admin @cloud fodder is going to host our first full mirror on wss://theforest.nostr1.com and you can then arrange streams, or whatever, with him. Our subscribers are making this good work possible! 🫶🏻 All of the items are in the public domain (no copyright) or are copyleft (we include a source tag and a clear notice that the source tag has to be maintained in a clone or fork). We will be regularly scanning the original sources for changes and updating the events. Once you have the basic set, you can just sync the updates. Also feel free to maintain a set of event forks, or to archive changes. Our biggest challenge is now making the books easily discoverable, from any client that can render 30040 events, by juicing up relay searches with some high-tech engineering magic voodoo stuff. @semisol and @MichaelJ are both actively working on getting that going. ♥ Both of their systems are getting major updates. Expect cool stuff to get cool even harder. 🫡 That's all for now, and GM.

I'm such an incompetent manual tester, with such a toxic personality, and so incapable of learning new tasks or using computers, that my company is paying me to not-work, so that nobody else has to suffer spending a single minute interacting with me. Remember this, the next time someone complains about their employees.

Having a second/remote machine to test and work on is such an absolute game-changer, that I don't know how I got anything done, before.
