If only you could boot into a previous generation of your system right from the bootloader, am I right? Someone should create a distro like that and call it “NixOS”.

I honestly always seem to associate freedom with broke people, probably because when I was younger and hanged around likely minded individuals they all also happened to be just as poor as me 🤣 but I get that we have some loaded individuals here.
For me it is “well I gotta stretch the sats I got from playing THNDR games and zaps so that I can zap more people/notes later”, a bit of “ugh I better not drop any serious amount into this lightning thing since I need to figure this out properly” and really not having enough to begin with (life happened).
To be honest I don’t really know why I got x or y amount of sats for a given technical rambling over the other, was the value I provided something the zapper didn’t know/got them thinking from another perspective? Or was it really a “I super agree with you” button?

The only sane way to handle the encryption requirement with “an unknown future OS” is to make it a bootable media and eat the space decrease.
2. I would use one of those encryption schemes that allow for booting into a decoy environment using an alternative password
1. Inside the encrypted container I would use ZFS because of checksumming and snapshot replication stuff (never trust a single media)
3. Nice try triple letter agency

I think bazzite is based on silverblue so you might be able to “rebase” from one to the other without requiring a full reinstall.

2026-09-01 19:39:53 GMT

- reply

To be clear I didn’t mean to imply all the other distros require a remote support, only that for updates for nixOS, and that is because I was stressing the point of immutability.
I guess it was poorly worded.

2026-09-01 19:36:01 GMT

- reply

When I think of a layperson I think of my mom. From her perspective, a steamos, a bazzite and a fedora silverblue machine are all indistinguishable from a nixOS installation remotely managed by me. None of them will ever break due to software stroke.
Meanwhile mutable distros have enough horror stories spread across forums that I won’t even bother bringing my own empirical experience.
The person you’re describing is in no way shape or form a “layman” so I would probably recommend nixOS for them, given they’re knowledgeable enough to know all of that jargon.

2026-09-01 19:23:55 GMT

- reply

It is literally the opposite, it is more work for the distro maintainer but for the end user it is smooth sailing. Just ask any steamdeck user.
If your complaint is that it’s too difficult to set up third party kernel modules on silverblue then, this might shock you, but you’re not the target demographic of my comment.

2026-09-01 19:06:36 GMT

- reply

Despite running NixOS myself, I think we should all agree to recommend immutable distros to laymen. Fedora silverblue, bazzite, stuff like that.
Anything mutable can and will break under normal use, we’re are just used to fixing when shit break that we don’t notice it anymore or blame ourselves for the problem.

Theoretically? Yes. Realistically? I don’t think a user that went through this kind of onboarding would have enough agency to fly solo.
You have assumed the case of somebody getting kicked out of the relay but I’m more worried about the case where the relay gets bombed/internet gets severed like what happened with Iran not long ago.
I believe that some kind of p2p is paramount, even if as a backup route for mutually following npubs, though the doxxing cases involving bitchat remind us that’s easier said than done.

2026-08-21 14:25:02 GMT

- reply

I’m sorry but also glad to hear about this experience, because it gives some insight on what to fix.
First and foremost, the key system for nostr is know to be non ideal but I wonder if we could patch this in the meantime by having the 12 word seed phrase method to be more common between apps (I’ve only ever seen one app doing that, everything else expects you to GYI and handle a giant random string yourself/hand it to big tech). Do you think that would’ve worked better for him?
As for the poor resilience to lackluster internet, this something I’ve seen reported to the eurosuckers at Matrix and fully ignored, indeed the centralized alternatives like Telegram and WhatsApp work way better under these circumstances but not because they are centralized, it’s just because the client-server protocol is better. However I’ve seen talks about nostr-over-UDP in my timeline a few days ago, which makes me hopeful that not every nostr dev has their heads stuck in their butts as Pana seems to think.
Did your friend try the fediverse or some other federated network? Was the experience better?
It’s not fair that he has to fight but fighting doesn’t get easy just because you need to.

2026-08-21 14:06:01 GMT

- reply

It’s also the same place where arbitrary censorship is happening. One problem is fixable, the other isn’t.
I wonder if YouTube does shadow banning when people mention alternative networks the same way twitter does, because I believe “see my thing at xyz platform without the beeps/see my videos early/whatever” would be an amazing selling point.
People have done that with Patreon, kofi and Nebula so I don’t think YouTube is preventing anyone from promoting free alternatives, it’s just that nobody is willing to go through the effort of uploading a different cut of their videos elsewhere.
Hell some even refuse to setup the FREE channel backup Odysee provides and would rather cry when their YT channel inevitably gets deleted.

Dude I’m not assuming shit, I’m literally reporting on threads I’ve seen on reddit for Odysee/LBRY when I say these people call themselves left wing I mean it literally, I’m not classifying nobody using this stupid false dichotomy of left/right.

2026-08-20 18:16:51 GMT

I understand your frustration but there’s no need to call me names. It might shock you but basement warriors are a thing present in the whole political graph (I don’t subscribe to the reductionist narrative of a single dimension spectrum) and I based my previous statement based on my observation of so called left wing redditors.
Anyway, I don’t think anyone is claiming there are no rough edges in decentralized tech, but have to understand that the oppressive elites have invested a lot to ensure that stays the case.
Which brings me back to the question I made initially: what exactly are the problems you have faced/think are causing people to ignore freedom tech in general? Do you think that if a developer were to go to the frontlines and make a supplies delivery to Cuba they would make better software? Don’t you believe in the process of collecting feedback or something? What exactly is your point there?
This might surprise you but I’m not the CEO of nostr, I’m just someone tired of seeing free tech (both as in freedom and as in free beer) being thrown under the bus for bullshit reasons like “oh right wing people use it so bad”.

I’m not sure I’m following this. It feels like calling the fediverse a pedophile ridden network. Like sure there is a lot of dubious content over there but that has nothing to do with the underlying protocol. And you’re not forced to follow accounts generating said content.
What is it exactly that’s turning these people off from the nostr ecosystem? Is it that apps default to seeding posts from annoying accounts/relays?
This feels like a similar discourse I heard regarding Odysee (formerly LBRY) and then instead of trying to change it the so called left wingers decided to fall back to centralized YouTube once again. And now they’re complaining about the corporate overreach and enshitification…
At some point you’ve got to pick the least of two evils and it’s insane that these people considered the decentralized protocols to be the inherently worse option.
