Traveling full-time since 2010. Working on open-source software daily. Currently working on a Maps app, with Nostr integration for place reviews coming soon: https://marco.kosmos.org
There's finally a quality app for editing and annotating screenshots on GNOME. I gave it a try, and it's exactly what I was waiting for:

I love the blur-out tool for obscuring parts of the image, but all the other ones also work really well.
Was looking for a coffee shop to work from in the area and accidentally ended up with this view:
I think I might come back here, because it's actually somewhat motivating for working on bitcoin-related things. 😅
This is cool, but why would I want a social identity attached to my network access? Don't we want our transports to be as anonymous as possible? Maybe I misunderstand how this works, or what it's for...

One thing that's interesting to me is when FOSS creators complain about LLMs "stealing" "private" code. Isn't it actually amazing how you can use the LLMs' knowledge of that code for creating more FOSS now? Epic win in my book.

Is there any Nostr event kind for reviews that includes a property for a rating/score? I.e. "4 out of 5 stars", like GMaps or Amazon.
I'm adding Nostr place reviews (with photos) for OSM POIs to my new unhosted maps app this week, and I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

A permissioned network with known validators, of which you only need to compel a third to censor transactions or freeze funds, is almost the opposite of "censorship-resistant" in my book. Maybe I'm missing something? 🤔
🎉 Join me at Hacker Beach!
📅 December 31, 2025PST
📍 Koh Lanta Yai, Thailand
Hacker Beach is a month-long, spontaneous, self-organized gathering of hackers and like-minded people on a tropical island (or coast). It happens every year in January.
There is no organization, no prepackaged deal, no tickets to purchase, or registration forms to submit. The gist is: if you want to recharge your body and mind in a warm and relaxed place, with enough Internet to work and play from, affordable accommodation, delicious food, and no rowdy tourist groups around, but instead a bunch of hackers and their friends… just show up at our destination sometime during the month of January!
