Technically it is and always has been distributed since relays aren't mirrors of each other.
Bitcoin is decentralised, nothing else of any importance is. It's very inefficient/expensive/slow to run decentralised networks.

Better yet encrypt the post them distribute the master decrypt key that has then been encrypted again for each authorised viewer.
This technique allows the original data to be encrypted once (could be a video that takes some time to encrypt) then only a small additional effort to manage the chosen audience without sharing the unencrypted master key.

Not OP but I developed an OTA update system for electric motorbikes and sharing of their log files - it works well for this use case as I have a free 5GB account with web3.storage.
Skimmed your article and yes it's built by Eth maximalists so I'm unsure of the reliability going forward but it's great riding on the back of all the defi wave for sharing relatively small files around in a distributed manner.

Battery technology is still under heavy development so charge time and range will certainly improve and possibly outperform ICE technology in the next few years.
Modern cars have so many computers that remote disabling is possible regardless of powertrain. Hackers showed this a while ago with a Jeep in the US they took complete control of from another state via the entertainment unit.
I don't see how ICE cars are better when it comes to technical simplicity... 1000's moving parts in an engine and gearbox vs a battery and motor...
Crash safety is far superior in EV's too since the weight can be properly distributed and much lower down.
I love ICE vehicles and have developed powertrains for part of my career but there is no comparison for me between an ancient, loud, dirty technology vs an EV.

(again chatgpt) it's because fungal mycelium typically grows outward from a central point in a circular pattern as it searches for nutrients

2024-07-01 17:41:02

- reply

Ok, chatgpt got my back (so take with a pinch of salt). It's called a fairy ring and the greener grass is from:
1. Increased Nitrogen Availability: The mycelium decomposes organic matter in the soil, releasing nitrogen and other nutrients, which promote greener, healthier grass growth.
2. Enhanced Water Retention: The dense network of fungal hyphae can improve soil structure and water retention, providing better moisture availability to the grass.
3. Soil Aeration: The fungal growth can improve soil aeration, helping grass roots to access more oxygen and grow more vigorously.
4. Hormonal Effects: Some fungi produce hormones that can stimulate grass growth.

2024-07-01 17:38:37

It's caused by mycelium, I think it's called an angel circle or something. Expect to see mushrooms growing in that circle soon! No idea why grass love it, will look it all up now...

Intriguing comment so asked gpt4o.
The comment contains a mix of accurate information and some misleading implications. Let's break it down:
1. **Brain and Cholesterol**:
- The brain does contain a significant amount of the body's cholesterol, about 20% despite comprising only about 2% of body weight.
- Cholesterol is essential for the structure and function of brain cells, including synapse formation and neurotransmission.
2. **Cholesterol and Hormones**:
- Cholesterol is a precursor for the synthesis of steroid hormones, including sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone) and corticosteroids (cortisol).
3. **Statins and Cognitive Function**:
- Some studies have suggested a possible link between statin use and cognitive decline, but the evidence is not definitive. The FDA states that memory loss or confusion reported by statin users is generally non-serious and reversible.
- Other studies suggest statins may have protective effects against dementia. Overall, the relationship between statins and cognitive function remains complex and not fully understood.
4. **Statins and Muscle Mass**:
- Statins can cause muscle-related side effects in some individuals, such as myopathy, muscle pain, and, in rare cases, rhabdomyolysis (severe muscle damage).
- The effect on muscle mass is not typically characterised as significant muscle loss but can lead to discomfort and weakness.
5. **Hormone Imbalances**:
- Statins do not directly cause hormone imbalances in most people. However, because cholesterol is involved in hormone production, there could be indirect effects, though these are generally not significant in typical statin use.
### Summary
- The brain uses a significant amount of cholesterol, which is essential for its function.
- Cholesterol is a precursor for hormone synthesis.
- The link between statins and cognitive decline or dementia is not conclusively proven and remains an area of ongoing research.
- Statins can cause muscle-related side effects but are not commonly associated with significant muscle mass loss or hormone imbalances in the majority of users.

Then don't keep your Bitcoin on an exchange and issue a hardware wallet instead. There's an adage by a Bitcoin guru called Andreas Antonopolous that goes "not your keys, not your coins", which is saying self custody is the most secure method to hold your Bitcoin.

Just been down a Keybase rabbit hole. Besides being owned by Zoom it seems pretty interesting at least as a pub-priv keypair Slack alternative, for example.

Just seen Keybase also exists, but the reference to .kbdx makes me think you mean KeePass?
If so I don't like the idea of publishing all my passwords to a public service like Nostr, even if encrypted. Seems like an unnecessary risk/honeypot scenario. There is the keyfile/password combo that adds another layer of encryption I guess.
I prefer security by obscurity, where a non-standard solution poses the biggest effort to attackers.

Free hosting on relays is the problem, it's faster and more reliable to store on the device than fetch. I guess there should be an alternative so it's not using 6GB locally though, which is excessive.
I think IPFS is a possible good match for Nostr because there's currently tons of free hosting thanks to the excessive money flying around the web3 world (see nft.storage for free and long term guaranteed IPFS / Filecoin hosting)
