Last Notes npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft The path of least resistance 🌚 That means at least query exposure, associated with whatever IP it's accessed. I wish there were more private ways to do that reliably. There are some experimental ODoH servers, but I didn't make any research. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft If you can share, what did you choose as an upstream nameserver: your own recursive unbound or Cloudflare onion service or something else? All of them suck in various ways; for me, Cloudflare onion service accessed from multiple VPSes and proxied to a locally running CoreDNS with a relaxed cache works adequately reliably. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft #nevent1q…savt Jeez, how retarded are the comments mentioned in the video. #education #dyslexia #dyscalculia #ADHD I remember I came to something similar in elementary school intuitively, by imagining dice. Some of the "normal education" stuff was so inadequate to me, so I had to re-engineer it for myself. Anyway, I believe none of these computation techniques are what contemporary education systems should overfocus on that much. Today it's like learning how to use a feather quill pen instead of a normal pen, to say the least. There's no "the only right" approach for cognitive development; it should be in sync with our tech progress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60OVlfAUPJg npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft This is how devs nostr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue8qDY-4-ZA npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I don't know if this has changed since then, but there was something weird about this particular brand in my experience: Artvigil was causing side effects, while Waklert worked with no issues. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Only the animated ones are distracting me. That's why I'd like to have proxified avatars that render only the first frame. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > Relays can reject stale or future timestamps Yeah, that's what they normally do. Anyway, that requires that we trust these relays to some degree, that they don't leak the data (if it's not encrypted), and that they verify the timestamps and check that the deadline hasn't happened yet. And they possibly need to survive DDoSing. Something blockchain-based could make it unnecessary to trust the relays. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft This could possibly be cool. A similar thing that I bought into is that π should be replaced with τ: "τ/2 is half of a circle" vs "π/2 is a quarter of a circle". Trigonometry and physics become less complex than necessary. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Interesting. What did you find out? I've been having migraines from the very early days. I usually use ibuprofen, but it's far from perfect. I remember I read some ancient paper on how certain lysergic-acid derivatives (including LSD-25 and LSA, but there was something non-hallucinogenic too) are effective for migraines. I think they should be working well in the most desperate cases. They are also useful for cluster headaches, AFAIK. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Ah, I read it wrong; I guess you still don't use coffee basically. Awesome! npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Do you use it to regulate attention/wakefulness? You didn't stay coffee-free for too long? I remember you had a post about having a headache as a withdrawal effect. I normally have it too if I cut coffee too suddenly, without a gradual dosage decrease. It was so cool to eventually discover armodafinil as an alternative, which unfortunately available only in some locations. So I'm back to coffee again too. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Which gift wraps do you reject? Too large? Without a p-tag? npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Your looking glass still gives confusing results. I wish you could publish yabs. #nevent1q…8g36 npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft This is... definitely one of the weirdest and creepiest things I've ever seen. Even if there weren't any of these classic horror effects, it's almost hard to believe that the entire video isn't just pure artistic fiction that intentionally disorients a viewer entirely. Or I'm just not wanting to believe. Quote from the Patreon page: "I create horror documentaries centered around dark internet stories and mysteries". #nevent1q…tdrx npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Did you mean hallucinating culty nihilists? Some are specifically psychotic, yes. I believe some communication hacks dramatically improve the situation, worth using when it comes to some topics that can be easily distorted and perverted. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I guess it's a mirror rather than a fork. Anyway, the old version is more readable IMO, yet unfortunately in some cases uglier. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I've been using `iosevka-term-ss08-{bold,regular}.ttf` for a long time in terminal emulators, yet I specifically stick to the old version from https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/releases/download/v2.3.3/iosevka-term-ss08-2.3.3.zip because newer versions felt harder to read for me: the distances between letters became too wide IMO. Did you fork it? npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft A lot of porn is being removed due to Blossom servers abuse; people upload illegal stuff there. Legal porn is often not allowed to be hosted by some hosting providers, which is far from obvious to end users. DMCA-related risk increase for operators. Mobile app devs are risking being partially censored by app stores which may want to label the apps with 18+... It may become even more chaotic. At least some of these lead to legal original content makers being blocked semi-automatically with all their content. I think fighting legal porn in particular is not sustainable, but something needs to be changed. If we transform it properly, I think that will be a win-win: those who don't want nsfw will see it less often, and those who want to upload it—won't have issues with it. I proposed to start with adding a single standard distinction and require non-porn-focused clients to ignore all porn-specific events (and still make porn distinct from the too general "nsfw" category): https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2501/changes Relays and Blossom servers could also explicitly allow/disallow porn; clients could take it into account. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft #nevent1q…r8pp npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft @npub1ewx…ds9e thanks for building it once again! It's so cool we no longer need to create profiles on the (broken in too many ways) centralized platforms in order to just leave some review. #browser #extension #nevent1q…xeju npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Six mistakes some bots keep making: repeating the same post twice in a row, making posts that contain only "null" as the body... npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Was it possibly deployed recently? Messages in DM chats periodically appear in random positions for me now, and I recalled this creepy issue with ZapThreads, which also uses SolidJS: https://github.com/franzaps/zapthreads/issues/50 npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Strangely, many of your comments appear to be detected as potential spam in @npub1yzv…rf8q, including this one. I see the time delta between some of your comments is indeed a pretty short one. Could an AI agent uncontrollably make some of these comments? https://image.nostr.build/e8a406a7efb8f37671dc96aec61138db47476c258be950c5dc16a9bb44fe9404.jpg npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft It sucks, I agree. > interactive UIs (forms/buttons), ephemeral states (thinking/typing indicators); and custom actions such as stop I guess nothing blocks from creating a separate NIP(s), compatible with whatever existing messaging specs. Something that hopefully doesn't introduce even more fragmentation. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft The only hope is open hardware. The RISC-V processors and so on. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft They just haven't seen these masterpieces. #nevent1q…clv7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zH9Zca1vRM Just kidding, they don't care, unfortunately. Also, GrapheneOS is an important step for solving it, but it's still not a solution to absolutely everything: any chip we have in the phones could be a malicious black box that has too much access to sensitive data (including so-called Trusted Executed Environments themselves; they could be used as honeyspots). npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I mean that I think it could be useful to proxify domains as sudomains and serve the standard NIP-05 json at `<domain>.nip05.site/.well-known/nostr.json`. The advantage is that no changes will be needed on clients to make all this work; users though would need to specify `_@<domain>.nip05.site` instead of `_@<domain>` in their event kind 0. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Ah, I responded to the wrong thread again. Anyway... #nevent1q…ghtu npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Pardon my nihilism, but I wish there were a bit more responses on (good faith) criticism. Before integrating things, it's better to know upfront whether they may fail due to design limitations. Specifically, if I got it right, fiatjaf's take about spanning trees still applies to FIPS: #nevent1q…6pjr Also, this is entirely not technical; I worry about this kind of ghosting: #nevent1q…x4jz npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Also, how about `[email protected] `? This is kind of ugly but will work without any changes in clients. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Thanks for building it! Is it FOSS? Enabling DNSSEC for nip05.site if possible, makes sense. > or CORS headers That then appears to be a workaround for those who don't follow NIP-05 properly. The TLS cert requirement for clearnet could also be added to the spec (as well as I expect it won't be properly followed too). I worry about TLS in particular; it's a weak way to verify authenticity but still a way. With a proxy, it's not clear whether the response was authentic. What would make a lot of sense, though, is proxying onion/i2p/fips/dnn/etc., because their authenticity is verifiable. This would make NIP-05 work in clearnet for domains that can't be taken down in exchange for trusting nip05.site. But that, of course, opens a question of why not have a more general proxy that could proxy non-clearnet relays as well. #nevent1q…d7hu npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Pomegranate is not Google-specific. I think it shouldn't be marketed that way; that confuses everyone. See number 3. #nevent1q…7gyp npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Yeah, yeah, I hear you. If you mean something like the complexity of this situation, how Apple is, for example, dependent on something else that makes their app submission so (far from the first time) ridiculous, that they are also hostage in this situation in some way—I don't argue that. I mean, though, that the classic postmodern kind of satire is still appropriate in this situation. If we'd talk to them directly there, that would be a different case; that wouldn't have a change to help. I'm not a literalist there; I don't actually mean that Apple is fascist, just in case it's not clear to whoever reads it. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft This is how we... are getting censored, ironically. Has anyone made a fascist-styled Apple logo already? npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I just noticed a related post and I recalled your post. #nevent1q…rwwd If you mean specifically privacy-respecting fiat-based payment processing systems, it's impossible IMO. They should be considered as shotgun KYC from the very beginning, no matter what marketing they use and what ToS they have. https://image.nostr.build/341d4997946782be5cd73e7a6649c603131b3149c6664cac283302793fcf0f3b.jpg npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Sadly, it seems it's impossible to build a sustainable privacy-respecting payment processor with fiat IMO. Even if these are fake reviews, it usually takes a little time until such service gets abused, then threatened by whatever provider they are connected through, and then it becomes another KYC'd scam/breach source. https://image.nostr.build/341d4997946782be5cd73e7a6649c603131b3149c6664cac283302793fcf0f3b.jpg npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Некоторые опытные художники кое-что умеют. Это же самое умеют и многие неопытные, просто еще не понимают это отчетливо. Понимают лишь через непредсказуемое время, когда выраженный ими символизм начинает уточняться и обрастать новыми смыслами наступивших контекстов. #искусство #креативность #духовность #ностр #rustr 1999, Принс Роджерс Нельсон о «Матрице» (00:14): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy7i9ru7HB8&t=14s Это не какая-то волшебная способность пророчить (прогнозировать) и выражать в арте надвигающиеся события, в виде эдакого бредоватого сна-полуправды, со смешанными контекстами. В бессознательном много чего лежит. Прямо перед носом может быть что-то очевидное, что сознательная часть жестко подавляет, не соглашается. 2020, «Внутри Лапенко» (13:00): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbxH465IIbw&t=13m Особенно когда совсем немного времени прошло, может наивно казаться, что арт выражает лишь то, что было актуально на момент его создания. Но мы видим лишь поверхностные слои сначала. Если это было что-то глубокое — мы и дальше сможем через это заглядывать куда-то в будущее. И возможно как-то использовать; тут остается некая двунаправленная связь: то что напророчили может оказать какое-никакое управление. В каком-то смысле стать «руководством» (прям как с печально знаменитым Оруэлльским романом). Помочь предотвратить что-то? Как в «Назад в будущее»? Вот в этом и драма. Это гораздо сложней. Что толку, для таких целей, например, Библию читать, если там, вероятней всего, самоисполняющиеся пророчества? С немного сбивающим нас с толку символизмом, с путаницей из-за нашей же коллективной безграмотности касаемо стадий развития человека и его мировоззрений и соответствующими преувеличениями этих способностей, с грубыми промахами во времени предсказаний этих чертовски сложных социальных процессов, и т.д. Коллективно мы недалеко продвинулись в моральном развитии относительно тех времен, не научились толком ничему, не исправили ничего. 2010, «Несчастный Случай», незадолго до Пелевинского «S.N.U.F.F.»: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud_2_ket04A 2019, «НОМ»: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnYvZooBSic БГ (36:52): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-AtGtCXXBM&t=2212s Я знаю что это сложно, но пророчьте что-нибудь позитивное, пожалуйста. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Their support will likely never respond. Nostube fixes this bullshit. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft None? I think normie ICANN DNS is cooked entirely. Namesilo is still probably one of the least annoying (but it's KYC). Mynymbox has KYC-free domains (but I think people complained too much that they got blocked for stupid reasons). Njalla is probably even more chaotic already. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Or the unconscious would be the better term. I don't mean anything extraordinary, only stuff within contemporary psychology associated with dreaming. There are dream-like states possible from the normal wakefulness state; this is the easiest way to access the creative state, perfectly applicable for poetry in particular. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft It showed the login popup 5 times while I was casually scrolling it in incognito mode. Could it be a bit less intrusive? npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I notice something sincerely important in both videos. However, I disagree that nobody knows where new ideas are coming from. These ideas are definitely not *just* copying and combining old ideas in the hope that something new will emerge from them. Creativity can be trained, and the techniques are well known. Truly new ideas are coming from the subconscious mind, roughly speaking, by extracting and distilling unusual fuzzy associations, and accumulated, both individual and collective, frustrations from it; making proper sense of all this. I think that every productive creative process is actually an art therapy. The subconscious mind is a powerful, underestimated tool when it's properly mastered. Especially taking into account what tech is capable of today, mastering the subconscious mind is the only important thing that artists can have in particular today IMO. And I think it becomes relevant to software developers too. It's something that still distinguishes us from machines. #creativity npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Neither. I wish we knew why. #nevent1q…audk npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Thanks.

Nostr is not there yet. Browsers and web frontend standards deserve full reimplementation from scratch, as the best example I'm aware of. Something needs to emerge there, something much cleaner and more efficient, and something that won't be technically possible to enshitify with intrusive ads/popups/captchas/etc., combined with increasing regulations-related nonsense. Nostr hasn't yet progressed any close to the bold collective frustration compared to this area. So it's super challenging to build something new AND *sustainable* like Nostr. It's not only about tech; people value, for example, the fact that there's some relatively massive infrastructure already running by independent entities; such stuff doesn't happen arbitrarily. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft The Matrix is the great deep work. Viewing art is always also co-creating it. I think we'll keep decoding new meanings, and learn about the world we live in from it. Original authors of whatever deep enough art often prefer to collapse interpretations to whatever they've intended, like if they were denying the "death of the author". Yet I think we complement art not with something completely arbitrary; there are valid meanings and adequate predictions in particular. All of them are coming from the unconscious, both from authors and viewers. Wachowskis, for example, probably never directly stated it in the interviews, but various forms of electronic despotism we're living today were definitely one of the valid predictions.

Most providers suck, but at least some of them explicitly say that they literally want to know as little as possible about their clients: they make an additional Tor onion service version (or i2p even) of their website and admin dashboard, they accept most private from the most practical cryptocurrencies (XMR in particular), and they have either email-free registration or they support disposable emails. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Why is the title from the image vs website so so different?

It's a bit of a tough and confusing topic; doing my best to not be oververbose. Roughly speaking, I'm proposing to require all porn-specific clients to create/render only porn-specific content and all other clients to create/render only non-porn-specific content, and to be very clear with this general distinction (porn ∈ nsfw, but porn != terrorism news; also, for example, nudity != porn). npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I remember I was listening to some dense academic lecture on the fool archetype from the perspective of psychoanalysis, history, tarot, and probably something else. This was a lecture for artistic people and poetry-writing guys in particular. Yeah, it's important to recall it; a fool is far from necessarily a negative character, especially when the role is used consciously. In the role of a fool, it may be the safest to say some dangerous truths in the face of authorities, for example. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > But you can simulate Yeah yeah, I tried that stuff with the hardware I possessed at that moment and read others experiences.

I wish it was that easy. A few more details then. #p2p #cdn #blossom #devstr More precisely, p2p-media-loader is actually used in PeerTube: it's a wrapper that combines the usage of traditional CDN + WebTorrent, and they definitely have this complex design not out of the blue; others didn't really work. https://github.com/Novage/p2p-media-loader#how-it-works In an ideal world, I wish it was just normal Torrent (which is at least impossible from browser engines). And with just WebTorrent (Torrent on top of WebRTC)—there are some WebRTC-related traps: - at least the warm-up is too slow, according to p2p-media-loader devs - due to privacy settings or/and ISPs behind certain kind of NATs, one may not have a functioning WebRTC-based peering at all (only connections through TURN, which is not supported in p2p-media-loader; because that would be an unnecessary complication since they have to use the CDN anyway). There are more. There's no way to escape the WebTorrent tracker and use DHT due to some browser limitations, and at the same time you can't have too many of the trackers (iOS/Safari in particular may aggressively close WebSocket connections out of the blue if it decides there are too many of them, and it can be challenging to handle this properly if at all). These are just a few things I recalled from when I was setting up vidstack player + p2p-media-loader on my website. In two words, thing that will work in practice is (an event kind 10063 server list) of Blossom-based CDNs (at least for warm up) + p2p-media-loader (only helpful in case of multiple concurrent connections) + stable 1Gbps+ network. Other paths are known frustrating traps; it's hard to even test/debug this stuff because you can't easily simulate the identical weird NATs some ISPs have. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Thanks a lot! > are you looking for purely an overlay network I'm interested at least in an overlay network, and practically I see it possibly as a bootstrapping evolutionary process: the overlay must be the easiest one to deploy with the software/hardware most of us already have; next there could be a hope to either turn it into (or more likely to bridge with) some kind of new internet (after redesigning networking hardware from scratch if absolutely needed), and finally, drop the legacy stuff. I don't know whether FIPS is aiming for it and actually having an adequate design for the next step, but that's how I interpreted/hallucinated their strategy.

Some hosting providers disallow just referencing DMCA'ed/etc. content as well. To simplify moderation, the Blossom servers could ensure that only those who used NIP-42 auth can upload files, so it will be easier to ban entire unrelated npubs or temporarily allow only based on some trust rank/WoT/etc.). There's `restrict_uploads` in nostrfy in particular (which is allowlist-only currently): https://github.com/iqbqioza/nostrfy/blob/main/docs/CONFIGURATION.md#10-blossom--blossom-file-server-media-hosting npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Nsfw-specific DMs are a possible future feature too; I've talked about it previously (the last two paragraphs and the comment): #nevent1q…vvz5 npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Awesome.

Or planned to be FOSS? What about building it based on Nostube source code? AFAIK it already has some webtorrent-based p2p integration (used in PeerTube as well) already which is important for concurrent gooners that will be sharing too few blossom servers in too few locations right now. And the player just works (I believe it's one of the most painful things to debug on every single platform ever). https://github.com/flox1an/nostube npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > your agents are not working hard enough Or you're using some exceptional thermal paste.

I gave a flavor to #blackhatworld dot com, created a profile there. Just to post some uncomfortable questions in a thread opened by a potential scammer. After attempting to post, I saw some "go to the newbie page and write about yourself first" kinda thing. I wrote. After a while they approved the account, and finally... They removed my posts and gave me a warning for violating their rules: that quoting a URL written by the potential scammer (the thread opener) is not allowed 🤦♂️ Wonderful.
