You need a better shirt. You mixed NASA and nostr Together.
NASA is a globalist company full of lies and criminal activities.
Nostr is a system of bringing the truth to the world by bypassing the censorship of the globalists.
NASA & Nostr do not belong together.
Good rant - Thanks

icn/ccn/ndn. All interesting stuff
On your way to Mars?
Nostr.
someone from nostr should talk here next time

Where did NASA lie?
Whoa i missed this. Signing up for the next one
Thank you will. Good points. As I listen, I am considering app resilience in the context of possible legal challenges.
Regulatory resilience is a strength of the Nostr protocol, by way of its ability to separate concerns. App developers should be mindful not to loose this advantage. I’m no lawyer, but this is what I understand so far:
As far as “controlling user data” goes … it’s important to keep clean separation between the “data processing” (client) and the “event signing” (clients should NEVER hold or generate keys) and “data storage” providers. Especially important is preserving the user’s ability to choose these providers without hidden defaults.
Having separation between data processing and data storage (even without access to signing or user keys) insulates the client from being identified as a “data controller”. I think local storage is important, but I also suspect that having this accomplished by a separate app might prove more resilient solution for the client apps.


European Commission
What is a data controller or a data processor?
How the data controller and data processor is determined and the responsibilities of each under the EU data protection regulation.
When nostr scholar for open scientific and academic publications signed and authenticated by nsec?

We should do that for sure
Rants are fun for sure.
Device to device sync would be awesome. Right now my sync server is in my basement, with most everything syncing over my Nextcloud.
Where’d you get that shirt?
someone on nostr sells it. forget who
These are some incredible ideas and exactly what we need.
Non dev pleb here, how does this work with storage? Everything stored locally so we will just need larger local storage on each device?
#yestr. Not at your level of technical detail, of course, but I wrote this in Obsidian last night:
AWS is the Achilles' heel of Silicon Valley surveillance tech
This became apparent today as the infrastructure giant suffered one of its most severe outages in recent history. Everything from social media apps to publishing platforms went down. Many still are, late into the evening.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin and nostr carry on unimpeded. Centralizing forces tend to centralize further. So expect this trend to accelerate. Fast forward: decentralization goes from a novel curiosity to a critical foundation.
There’s more to dig into.
How to measure the impact of this scale of outage? What degree of pain will motivate builders to evaluate decentralized alternatives?
OPFS is a good space for local first in the browser.
Nostr shines as long as the relays don't run on AWS 😉
Basically. The tricky thing is media, text notes are tiny so you can definitely store those
IMO text-only nostr makes a lot of sense.
Who makes this shirt ?

Try to zap but it said “ user are not find in the destination “ what is the even mean

looks like my home node is down... this always happens when I leave the country
well, in addition to relays, we also have the option of connecting your own multimedia storage servers, even an option called mirror servers where the multimedia content you upload can be available on other servers, so if a server fails you can get that if you do. you have on more servers
so you have 2 options: store your content on your own device or upload it to multiple servers so you can continue watching that.
las paginas web convencionales al depender de solo un gran servidor, si esa parte falla todo lo demas falla, mientras los clientes nostr al tener el contenido distribuido en miles de reles y servidores, no se tiene un solo punto de fallo ya que para caer, todos los reles y servidores deben ser desactivados al mismo tiempo.

I see , where you at ? Do you even use NYM?
