Last Notes npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley I really wish I could, it sounds like an awesome experience. Sadly, currently a full-time student, and the semester just started. 😅 npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley It's hot garbage. I signed up, got spammed by a bunch of bots, and my feed is full of idiotic NFTs. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley The ActivityPods project released a small boilerplate app and tutorial for people interested in building #Fediverse web clients that work with #Solid. I hope to poke around a bit, and see what’s possible. 😁 npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Every day I fail to publish an article, I feel disappointed. The burnout has been really bad the past week and a half. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Modded base-building in Fallout 4 helps me destress, by allowing me to partake in the beautiful fantasy of owning my own house and land. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Like I said, the main thing I know about is using a bridge. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Hmm, looking into it more closesly...it looks like you would need to use something like Mostr for the relay piece. I had assumed that maybe Ditto shipped with it by default, but maybe that's not the case? Not totally clear. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley So, this is an architecture chart for SoapBox. Ditto's architecture looks more like this: npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Ditto works with both. In a nutshell: it's a Nostr relay that translates to ActivityPub, that happens to have a Mastodon API layer that hooks up to SoapBox. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley I know that this system is intended to help students get the placement and assistance they need…but, as someone who is doing college late in life, a lot of my scores just make me feel stupid. 😞 npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley There’s nothing like a college placement exam to remind me of everything I’ve always hated about school. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley This is 100% fake, but as I slowly wade into modding #Fallout, I've been thinking of making good on an old idea I've had... npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley My cofounder @npub164z…wtjq pointed me in this direction. I just wanted to say that we both relate to this a lot when it comes to working on @npub1w9w…k403. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Like written fanfics, quality control is all over the place. But, I think there's something really special to total conversion mods: in about 100 years time, most IPs will likely go into Public Domain. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Story mods in video games are basically playable fanfiction, and that’s a good thing. I’m playing a version of Fallout 4 that’s modded in more ways than I can count, and exploring a fan quest involving the Enclave. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley To be at least a little bit fair to the researcher, there are dozens of different protocols, networks, and attempts happening concurrently at any given moment. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley So, this comes up every now and then on #Nostr: running a relay on your phone. It's probably not super practical for using as a conduit for sending out to the network, but you know what it could be useful for? npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley My brother is the drummer for a Gears of War-themed blackened death metal band called Hammer of Dawn. They just released a new album today. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley The thing that’s frustrating about personal insecurity is that you can doubt yourself, even when there’s tangible evidence to the contrary. I personally hold on deeply to the idea that I’m stupid, may have a steep learning disability, and have been masking all this time. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley I'm applying for college. It's exciting, but I worry that I'm not smart enough to do well in school. My past grades were terrible because of bad habits. The last time I tried this, I dropped out. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley There's so much knowledge and experience, so much ground to cover. It's going to be a juicy episode for sure. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Holy fuck. We talked to @npub1wmr…g240 for almost two hours, and if neither of us had time constraints, we would've kept going. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Nvm this actually looks sick af on a shirt. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley I’m starting to think that only neural networks can actually pass this shit anymore. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Every single article I've been working on this week so far goes really hard on the subject matter. This is fine, but I really need to get something out. 😓 npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley It's funny that we have photo avatars in 4K quality, but I still have trouble figuring out if the person I know online is the same person I'm meeting AFK for the very first time. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley As an aside, I also write constantly. I have an app on my phone, so that I can fill any downtime I have with writing. This has been crucial for slow jobs, where my brain tends to wander and I end up thinking deeply about subject material. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley This is a really good question. I try to aim for a minimum of 2-3 articles per week. When I'm on a roll, I can get 5 or 6. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley I’ve been extremely behind on publishing things for @npub1w9w…k403. I am trying my best to continue getting articles and podcast episodes out, but it may be at a slower pace for a while. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Recovering from burnout is hard. I keep telling myself "Oh, I'll just sleep for a week, everything will be fine!", but there isn't a one-and-done solution. Instead, you have to actively look out for yourself, and work on changing a world of bad habits that all piled up. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley This is honestly just good etiquette, and is also true for the Fediverse and Bluesky. Open source in general, really. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Dungeon Meshi is so ridiculously good, it’s not even fair. Fantastic writing, great characters, loads of good jokes, beautiful style, and a lot of heart. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Once again, I am flying by the seat of my pants, ahead on some things, but behind on many others. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley When "Social Web" was first proposed, I was kind of grossed out because so many aspects that meant something to me felt diminished. It felt like something was missing. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley The closest anyone has gotten is "Social Web", which is somehow less bad than all the others. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Yeah, it's super confusing. I appreciate that we can specify that we can choose different ones to do different things, but I'd rather not have to think about it too hard. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Okay, does the demo track work at least? https://tidal.com/browse/track/361684235 npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Testing TIDAL sharing again: https://tidal.com/browse/track/4071515 npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Testing TIDAL sharing: https://tidal.com/browse/track/4071515?u npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley I’ve been seeing a few tech blogs talk about this concept of using AI clones in meetings, and it just sounds like a horrible idea. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Working on a #design study for @npub1w9w…k403's branding and visual language. It’s just a rough draft for now, but it’s fun to think about and sketch out ideas. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Awesome, thanks for the pointers! Yeah, initially the thought of people just jamming their private keys into apps kind of really bugged me. Actually, reading up on NIP-26 is what motivated me to ask. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley I'm just starting to research this more, but I've got a #Nostr question pertaining to private keys and security. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Sitting here, twiddling my thumbs as I wait for people from the apartment management company to walk through and try to find a reason to evict us. Because I guess a carpet had a little bit of dog pee on it. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley I'm super curious about this! Is it confirmed that both companies are working on Nostr integration? Is there a place where I can learn more about this? npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley I'm a little behind on writing or publishing any pieces for @npub1w9w…k403 at the moment. I plan on getting back on that treadmill soon, but I just started my transition out of Active Duty military. My body is currently beyond exhausted. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley I know, I know, I’m banging on an old drum again. But, I feel like Nostr’s way of doing things is like a sneak peak of what might have been possible with ActivityPub C2S. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley I feel like the way #Nostr does apps is superior to how we do it in the #Fediverse. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Maybe @npub1wmr…g240 has some thoughts? npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley General #Nostr question: is there a Buffer-like team posting app in the ecosystem yet? npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley If you're looking at prior art for a foundational basis to look at, Loomio is great. It's not decentralized at all, but it could give some pointers on consensus-based decision making. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Slightly dumb question: is did-plc in #Bluesky similar in purpose to npub in #Nostr? 🤔 npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley As a fun little experiment, @npub1d9r…62as and I worked together to get a #Mastodon instance up and running that stores media on #IPFS! It was an interesting learning experience. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley @npub1wmr…g240 might find this interesting, as we continue to grow our efforts of covering different networks. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Is there a good web tool for reading the JSON data of a #Nostr event? Currently working on an explainer article on @npub1w9w…k403 for newbies, but haven't found a good method to do this yet... 🤔 npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley > Get home from work npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Taking a big step with @npub1w9w…k403: we're beginning to write about #Bluesky and #Nostr, and have given them dedicated sections on the site. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley I'm trying to explore #Nostr more, for two reasons: npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley So many narratives in media are high-stakes these days. One man must fight the alien horde, unlock the secrets of The Engineers, and save The Multiverse! npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley I started using #Penpot as part of the design process for my sites and projects. It's a delight to use! I had no idea that it was going to be this good. 🤯 npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley This is the culmination of a tremendous amount of effort. For the last few months, I've been working with some amazing, thoughtful, and talented people. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Kind of a weird #Nostr question: is there an app out there that functions similarly to Buffer or Hootsuite? npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley I love my best friend. He's the kind of person where, regardless of the amount of time since our last call, we still pick up and chat for two hours like it's nothing. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Being in the Air Force is like going to a potluck. Most people brought something great, some people didn't bring anything good at all, and nobody brought any plates or utensils. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Someday, in the far future, somebody will look back on the slightly less-far future with amusement. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Holy shit, you have to send sats to vote in polls?! 😂 npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Wild. The future is now. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley It seems like, to some extent, we'd all probably see more success by taking the best parts of Nostr and grafting it onto ActivityPub as an extension/subset of the existing protocol. I don't think enough people understand how hard it is to actually create a new space from scratch, while reinventing the wheel at the same time. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley "Following keys is dumb, we should follow nip05 IDs instead." npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Is there any actual culture or socializing here? So far, I mostly see tech bros singing the praises of crypto, cheering on Twitter's decline, and patting themselves on the back constantly. npub1ldzlnqkjf3ka4tkszt3gcfg5hfeq0gyv6uud2t385hhksfmx0yqq8fn99t Sean Tilley Hi, I'm Sean, you might know of me from the #Fediverse for my work on Diaspora*, and my pet news project, WeDistribute.org. I'm extremely passionate about the Fediverse and decentralized comms.
