Last Notes npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Nostr is dead. Again. Bitcoin is dead. Again. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft sftp is usually slow. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Either vanish or become overpriced or something like that; become unavailable in some way, through enforced KYC to some absurd level, for example. This is why we still could benefit from a censorship-resistant layer for the normie DNS that could give full control to an authentic domain owner based on Nostr to fight this unfairness. I've just learned what was happening to the .org in 2019 from the HN comments. So weird. I'm still unaware of so many events that happened during this period. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft An entire TLD can vanish out of the blue in the normie DNS. This is nuts. #dns #nevent1q…9987 npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Dead Mail, I guess. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft @npub1jlu…p2kq ironically, your bot attempted to zap a scam bot: #nevent1q…gqk8 npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft NIP-59 gift wrap currently requires NIP-42 auth on clients (but not on relays), yet I don't see any reason to not require the auth on relays too if gift wrap was requested (at least by default). NIP-42 also needs to require support for requesting events from relays by either "authors" or "p"-tag, at least for gift wraps, for Concord compatibility. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Thanks! I still don't get how PREEMPT_RT would help; forgive my retardness. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I don't have any opinion on Lunduke's stuff either, just in case (besides his Rust critique, which is not part of this video) 🤷♂️ npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft #nevent1q…8hs4 Interesting. Using this link I was able to find a post that doesn't even mention the word "preteen" and still there was a lolicon picture. How does it work? Just in case if there anyone could be confused in the thread already: as far as I understood, lolicon/shotacon is considered as exactly the same category as real video recorded child porn, from around ~2019, in some/many countries (correct me if I got it wrong, I'm not a lawyer). Quite ironically, I learned that accidentally due to this guy just very recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGdyMx4dZQ0 I'm so out of time, not seeing a lot of things from the pre/post-COVID period. That's a perfect example for this meme; those who possibly mindlessly store some humorous drawn material that could be interpreted as cp—beware that some corrupt police officer may use it against you: https://image.nostr.build/f70843415ab74ac8e93c4a5769ec931196ab2b0b64f5b772acd285447e54f4d8.jpg To be clear, I don't support sexual behavior and especially violence towards people of pre-consent age. I don't have any opinion about Derek either; I'm completely out of context of this drama. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Although it's a different approach, I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking similarly #nevent1q…x9fy npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Another approach: a blurred comment with the text "OP reported the profile as spam". A hover or click unblures the comment (+possibly a profile pic). Many comments will be ignored just due to a familiar profile pic. So simple to implement. #devstr #distraction #annoyance #nevent1q…cyz4 npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > If we detect a user posted CSAM, we immediately purge *all* files Just curious, are humans involved in this process? npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > one of my displays doesn't work without it Seems like an unusual dependency to me. I'm curious, what display is it? npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > Do not put your nsec in clients https://image.nostr.build/76910fd04c27d85d6b7d5b971cf52029b22ed9d1ed8f29010d862e9a38b034ff.jpg npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Whoa, thanks; I perceive it as a surprisingly nihilistic response on a such a cool tool. I've just written a completely terrible (in terms of markup) starting guide tool, and I just don't care. As soon as a thing does something useful—it's worth FOSSing it, even if it's a dirty prototype. I'm not the first one who found your tool cool and useful. I'm curious: which model(s) did you use? npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Continuing this: I haven't yet encountered a starter guide/tool that I would be happy about, so I wrote one more. This is Amber + Bunker46 extension setup. It's possible to give this link with custom relays: https://codonaft.com/nostr-no-bullshit.html I'm not sure whether it's actually reliable; I'd appreciate any testing. #devstr #nevent1q…x6wg npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft This is so awesome! Is it FOSS? npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft By muted comments I really mean muted npubs with all their comments. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Another trivial anti-spam solution some clients could implement is just hiding *by default* all muted/reported by OP comments (and providing the "show hidden messages" button): everyone moderates their own thread, and nobody's actually censored. Could be useful during spam waves, at least as an option. The disadvantage is that mutes/reports are still possible due to non-spammy subjective reasons, of course. Yet in abusive scenarios, it's still possible to start your own thread that quotes a message by somebody who muted you—others will see and possibly repost your message. #spam #devstr npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Why we still allow logging in with raw nsec in ordinary clients? #nevent1q…wyn8 npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft А у меня бот-графоман какой-то плоской поэзией отвечал. Видимо до сих пор. Но оно давно в бане. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Вижу много сообщений про спам, а сам спам не вижу 🌚 Видимо я его умудряюсь проспать каждый раз. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft This is so wild 😢 We still could have something like this, yet I think there will be a workaround by registrars by enforcing KYC: #nevent1q…89xs npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Yeah! I was kinda nervous to read what it wrote about me and my interactions 😅 There's only a minor mistake it made about a kind of poetry I write, and everything else looks accurate. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > a graph of which #nostriches i most interact with, and how they link to each other Great idea! It's not exactly what you're requesting but kinda similar; see the "mutuals" in the end of the page: https://persona.nstr.app/nprofile1qqs8q40ugty6vw9t26ks2uqk5t004n5hkhhvuvdr57jxwfads3ufnegwpwhdf npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I'm not sure which clients support it, but you could possibly also fill the event kind 10006 "blocked relays" and see what happens. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft #nevent1q…h42w Всегда восхищался этим символизмом, этим брэндингом. Чувствую в нем настоящую глубину. Считаю что те, кто критикуют маскота и название Nostr, ни фига не понимают в искусстве и маркетинге. Помимо объективных критериев я обращаю внимание на то, сколько моих личных неофициальных ассоциаций может возникать с брэндом, которые как-то согласуются с ним. Страуса в культуре было принято ассоциировать с трусливым бегающим существом, однако тут явно переопределение смысла — это быстрый, про-свободный, шифропанковский нерд-супергерой. С тонким вкусом. Он уже толком ничего не боится. И куда-то несётся. Разумный минимализм, и даже аскетизм, приводит к быстрому появлению большого количества несколько кривоватых клиентов: усилия, в основном, минимальные; столь легковесный протокол создает ощущение, будто его вообще нет. Ну а для кого-то этот символ быть может еще и про взвешенный обмен благосостояния на свободу — «бегать с (почти) голой жопой»... Эти ассоциации можно долго продолжать. Но критик меня упрекнёт, что это всё тут не причем, мол поиск глубинного смысла, не связанный с официальными взглядами авторов символа; еще и с вариантами региональных ассоциаций. Но с чем не поспоришь — у меня возникает этот фонтан ассоциаций и у других ностричей он может возникать; существовать, по крайней мере, в фоне, в бессознательном, и добавлять некоторый вес осознанной части символа. С очередным Tensor/Vector/Scalar/РогаИКопыта такое не работает. #креативность #ностр https://codonaft.com/assets/img/soviet-nostrich.webp npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft At least for now. I hope this will be implemented at some point. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft @npub1yzv…rf8q looks like the web version is down, perhaps for several hours already. It'd be awesome to have multiple mirrors that host the static data. I think it should be easy to publish as NIP-5A nsite in particular. Also wss://nostr-02.yakihonne.com is half-dead to me. Not sure what's wrong; several days ago I tried to publish to it and was getting out of disk space errors. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft #nevent1q…zd3r If this is actually true, Cordn is not really secret. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > for cordn, I just have to turn off AUTH on 1059, because it doesn't support AUTH Ah. I didn't know it, thanks. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft https://image.nostr.build/6f98953f9fc9ff03a43ca9cb82812baaa07ea5b1756e6d8aa811ea797d217afb.jpg npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft It's good for Ethernet but not always good for Wi-Fi. I'm not aware of good adapters designed for APs (but I'm sure they exist, just not that common; possibly unavailable for sale in many locations). npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft wss://relay.damus.io appears to be still dead and alive at the same time. I think that manual maintenance of relay lists could be improved with some automation: a relay admin could sign and broadcast a notice that their relay domain (or IP, if the certificate is issued for IP) is outdated and they now recommend some other relay URIs instead (compatible with particular relay lists), so clients could read a notice and suggest replacements (ranked by latency measurements). Or if admin has nothing to recommend, clients could suggest relay replacements based on NIP-66. #devstr #nostr npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > what op means by belief system Not sure whether I'm too abstract or not; a belief system to me is a set of assumptions on what seems right or reasonable, which is, ideally, as sound as possible with what we already know. Some of these assumptions are fuzzier, and some are more precise, principled, and, for somebody, possibly even dogmatic. > we have a suffixed "ism" it gets dogmatic It may usually become dogmatic, yes. To me personally -isms are paradigms, which may be adequate depending on context. I'm mostly comfortable with rationalism in particular as something relatively universal, yet I think even it can be somehow abused/misused depending on context. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Just the stuff that Gittr set by default for imported repos; I don't host my own. https://git.shakespeare.diy https://gitnostr.com https://relay.ngit.dev https://ngit.danconwaydev.com npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I wish that was djot rather than markdown. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I've just learned there appears to be no real (Gecko-based) Firefox in the iOS App Store that could support extensions. Very sad for those who voluntarily chose that prison. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Обычно толерантен Я к нормисным ОС Но стоило потыкать Решение «с небес»... #стихи #ностр #nevent1q…3pjw Если правильно понял, в официальном App Store для iOS даже нет реального браузера Firefox (с движком Gecko), который бы позволял устанавливать расширения. Это какой-то трындец, ребята. Меня уже нескоро отпустит от полученной боли: как от непродолжительного взаимодействия с этим чудом, так и из-за сострадания всем, кто в эту клетку *добровольно* себя умудрился запихать. Не могу теперь выкинуть из головы мемас про Винни Пуха и горшочек с говном (Тигра в роли Apple). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbZH8boFoJg npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I just had a chance to check out Clave on an iOS device—instantly noticed painful issues: - if I got it right, it appears to always use a particular hardcoded relay for a bunker URI, so there's no way (for non-nostrconnect clients at least) to set whatever trusted and reliable enough in a particular location relay - no way to import ncryptsec from a QR code. I'm so sad for iOS users; they are kind of damned. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > The box survives because it looks like a password field I think this input field should not allow nsec anymore; if it detects nsec—it should become red with a warning text that it's basically not an adequate idea to paste it here or in other clients. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Thanks. I haven't been pasting nsec from the very beginning and don't currently own any iOS device. Kinda sad for them; hopefully NIP-46 adequately works in iOS. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft zeroize memory *before exiting (or before signing out, actually). npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Is Clave the only #iOS NIP-46 singer published on AppStore/AltStore today? #asknostr And why do we still allow pasting a raw nsec/ncryptsec into the clients? Why? Something is still not working with these signers? Somebody believes that all clients actually securely store the secrets, properly zeroize memory after exiting, and so on? Properly managing these secrets was never an easy thing to do. It should never be delegated to some random vibe-coded stuff, that was not designed specifically for that; very few normal users are capable of understanding the significance of that, yet we happily provide them an input field for nsec like it's something acceptable! This is, BTW, the only signer I'm aware of that hardens memory with `mlock`; there's nothing close to that in normal clients and probably never will be there: https://laantungir.net/git/laantungir/n_signer I've recently had an experience of explaining why pasting nsec should never be practiced with ordinary clients, why it's not the same thing as a changeable password—yet this person pasted it anyway to "fix" something: Armada Android client was failing to publish a NIP-65 relay list. This will never change: if there's a wrong button, it will be pressed for stupid reasons, many times. I think the "nsec SHOULD never be used directly in clients; NIP-46 and NIP-07 SHOULD be used instead" should be written in some NIP already. With blood. #security #devstr #nevent1q…wlup npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > rather than of the pure gross matter Of the pure *dumb, non-organic* gross matter, I mean. It has to be something much more complex than a stone, in other words. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft #nevent1q…engm @npub1cgd…kfex good inquiry. This is quite a confusing topic, almost incomprehensible when discussed in text messages. #philosophy #consciousness #spirituality It depends on whether subjectivity is considered totally as a part of reality. If it's something that allows interacting with something *separate* from the reality—that would be the "beyond this reality" (sometimes associated with the concept of "supernatural reality"). I personally prefer to see subjective experience as something totally inseparable from the reality. Otherwise it's a contradiction to the nonduality of the reality and consciousness (a contradiction to the correlation between objective neurological processes and the subjective experiences in particular). Yet, at the same time, the subjectivity is neither identical to objectivity nor does it seem to be reducible to just the related material objects (or might their interactions even). Subjectivity is a real phenomenon of a different level of complexity of the reality, rather than of the pure gross matter. *Roughly* speaking, just as functional programming concepts are not normally understood by thinking in terms of electronic switches (since it's a different level), but at the same time they are not separable from the hardware level (if we mean some program that actually runs on the hardware). You may think of subjectivity as a kind of illusion (which includes bare *modeling* of objective reality with pareidoliac hallucinations, for example), just as FP concepts are some kind of mental conceptual illusion (which may be transformed into something barely related to the executed instructions due to compiler optimizations, completely erased even; existing as some kind of *modeling* of what's actually being run). But by illusion I don't mean the pure non-existence of something or something separable from the existence. I mean some softer version of existence instead that correlates with the lower levels of it. And I don't mean it as some dead source code files that are no longer affecting a running program; there's a two-directional interaction between the levels instead. Also, if you've meant the Terence McKenna stuff—there's an inner world of archetypal DMT/etc. entities (an extended version of something close to night dreams, but not really dreams, rather hypnotic trance states), but it's probably not identical to what he talked about. There are personal and collective archetypes, the edge between them is blurred; yet a DMT trip is not a portal to another level of a literal co-shared objective reality (or separate external kind of reality) with the real objective machine elves. Rather these experiences are of the subjective worlds, still interconnected in some way because we still interact with each other based on these experiences (from the gross sober state later in particular) and influence each others' next experiences: we discuss the experiences, act out of some lessons learned from them, produce art, getting influenced by the art, etc. Not the elves themselves from different tripping persons' experiences are interacting with each other; the *ideas of* the machine elves interact with each other instead (through culture). And perhaps particular purely collective archetypes, besides the cultural influence, have something to do with our genes—the (sometimes atavistic) survival tryptophobia-kind of programs—reactions to certain pattern recognitions that were so important that they were eventually coded into our "hardware" and kept inherited from ancestors. The Angel archetype in particular is directly associated with addressing survival. I once had such a sober non-visual experience in my life: a recognition of a particular unique feminine/masculine-neutral repetitive inner voice (which is impossible to reproduce by human organs) of a particular pitch level, that gives some hope and kind of motivates me to stay away from suicide. I think this archetype is exactly what traditional Christian church choir singing is trying to express. Even though it's definitely a sincerely deep spiritual experience—even that doesn't convince me of the existence of something separate from reality, of some supernatural world. In short: I prefer seeing it as there's nothing beyond this reality (at least I'm not aware of anything falsifiable). Whatever that *seems* separate from the reality is still part of it, but it can't necessarily be understood just by observing the related objects. It may be experienced *as if* it were something separate from the reality and, at the same time, as something co-shared culturally (and even cross-culturally) due to interaction with universal archetypes (traditionally associated with the collective unconscious), and due to the feedback loop to the culture. It seems that complicated to me today. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Последующие части почти месяц как не публикуются уже; надеюсь автор жив 🌚 npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Thanks for sharing; it appears to be this 1995 paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8747157/ Something remains unclear about that; there's a more recent relevant paper that criticizes the consistency in such studies (see the Conclusions section at the end): https://pulmonology.cureus.com/articles/278236-elevated-endogenous-psychedelic-bufotenine-in-the-urine-of-patients-diagnosed-with-a-mental-illness-a-systematic-review npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > chinese taoism? Or stoicism? There are both something resonating and something out-of-sync with current scientific-philosophical progress in many -isms, including stoicism and taoism. Any combination is possible, yet I think normally many perceive that if we call ourselves a particular -ist—that means we agree on most or the entire discourse. I find it hard to imagine how that would be possible with old enough -isms; for example, agreeing on Marcus Aurelius' meditations would mean that I'm in agreement with the related mythic-religious tradition he was subscribed to or I'm somehow separating this stuff (but how exactly isn't obvious; these seem to be deeply interconnected, at least to me). There is more recent neo-stoicism stuff though, that would be possibly less confusing. I haven't seen a synthesis (that would skillfully synchronize language games between the -isms and explicitly refine them properly) that would be resonating enough with my belief system. Or just a new -ism, with the least confusing terminology for a contemporary reader. Metamodernism looks like a healthy starting point; I can't currently confidently say whether I agree or disagree with them for a couple of reasons: there are many Metamodernism authors, so I'm not capable of learning each of them thoroughly; they are currently possibly avoiding going too deep in some topics. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Other forks to consider are Helium and LibreWolf. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue8qDY-4-ZA npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I like the performance. Is it FOSS? npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft That's the first thing I thought, if we mean censorship. There's still a cultural influence though, which used to vary on centralized websites, often depending on the preferences of moderators. Now the influence is decentralized and non-moderated; it's no longer a bunch of unrelated websites with different vibes. I still think that both are inevitable: "wrong" people will come here AND will be naturally + algorithmically segregated too (while many of us will ignore all this and will keep building natural connections and ignore toxic in whatever way influence). npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I deeply empathize with this; you got it right. Some people tend to unfairly conflate different kinds of feminism into some single (often radical/violent one) kind of category, unfortunately. An unprocessed collective shadow material that results in projecting this stuff onto women. Quite ironic to notice similar conflation in the place where pro-freedom values are mostly co-shared. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft The referred twitter OP that gives an overview of the paper also referred to the methodology (and other) criticisms of the paper made by demographer Lyman Stone: https://lymanstone.substack.com/i/189073871/but-didnt-the-new-study-show-womens-wages-reduce-fertility Are there possibly any credible responses to the criticisms? Not trolling in any way once again, I'm basically out of context here: this complicated paper is from a field of study I'm not familiar with. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I mean GC-based language *runtimes / languages with GC-based memory model, whatever. GC-based runtimes are not evil though; they give competitive performance in certain problems (message queues in particular), but they are far from something universal in that sense. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > homosexuality is, in fact, the gateway to pedophilia Is it in general? Not trolling in anyway, and not interested in debating, just sincerely curious: what is this fact? If it's some kind of annoying FAQ, I'd appreciate whatever reference, thanks. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=fUQETi43ZqY I missed this one. These are more general issues, unrelated to Rust specifically: putting a similar trojan into GCC (or LLVM even) would possibly be easier than into the Rust compiler; AI-generated malicious stuff is already being balanced by AI-based security checks. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I don't agree with the "It solves a problem nobody had", btw. I think that Fil-C in particular is not a solution for the Linux kernel, just as one example. There were attempts to build OS kernels on the best GC-based languages—all of them failed due to inadequate performance. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I didn't know Fil-C had progressed to something that interesting. Definitely worth having stuff like OpenSSL and OpenSSH built with Fil-C as mainstream Linux distro packages (if we will ever ensure that their complicated GC is really safe in particular), despite some performance drop. I'm personally not into coding *new* stuff in C or C++ but not due to any kind of fanaticism. I used to be a C++ dev in the past. These are pretty old languages; fewer and fewer people want to maintain such code; in a few decades these will be another Fortran and COBOL. That's okay that we switch to new languages sometimes, going through all the crises of slower compilers and whatever bad design choices (I'm personally not happy about unsafe semantics in Rust—this is too complicated; it's more reasonable to write unsafe code in C or, possibly, in Zig). If it's not Rust—I hope Rust at least influences some other new language. Also it feels more and more weird to talk about this level at all, while those who are at their peak AI psychosis stage don't care what their clankers are generating already. That could be possible, that we actually will mostly stop caring about this level, just as it happened with Assembly, but before this has happened, I still believe we'd better have good enough tools for the AI agents so they could build effectively, understand what the hell they are building, and catch more bugs at compile time. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Thanks for building it! Is it possibly deployed somewhere already? Does it support NIP-42 authentication for NIP-59 gift wrap, compatible with NIP-17 and Concord communities? npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > I've never experienced a prostate orgasm, people say men can get those but I don't know I don't have the experience either (if you mean pure prostate stimulation), but I think at least with estim this must be relatively easily achievable; I think I've seen Reddit geeks chat about this, there are tons of pre-AI-slop confirmation videos exist, just as a few examples. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft It can't possibly have an identity, they said. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > They haven't worked in 4 years > the nip repo has never had a focus on privacy I'm not happy with the reliability of NIP-17, when different implementations are used. Making it optional in clients would be a good thing. What about Cordn though? This one, in an exchange for reliability, doesn't attempt to invent truly decentralized DMs, yet this one is a competitor to Signal and SimpleX in terms of privacy and secrecy. #nevent1q…ddl9 npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I find it ironic that we went so abstract about date and time that we no longer match this stuff with celestial bodies' positions really. I heard new generations no longer interpret analog clock and I think there's a reason for all that; all that has been too complicated. If you look deeper, at any normal time/date library source code—that just nuts; it's always a confusing thing with weird astronomical constants. 24-hour clock has been a normal thing in my culture, but I've gone further and been literally using 24-hour clock *without minutes*, so 02:00 PM for me is 14.0h and 02:30 PM is 14.5h. It's easier to calculate deltas with this but hard to translate to exact normie hours + minutes. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Thanks for the article! Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I don't see my own comments under the kind 30023 articles anymore. Here it is: #nevent1q…38cj npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I've got no idea who was the original author of the meme; I've stolen it from some other nostrich too 🌚 npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > i'm retarded Me too. It's crazy how this became so complicated. Marmot vs Concord vs Cordn, the way I currently understand them, specifically in relation to group chats: - Marmot—experimental attempt to make decentralized secret chats - Concord—reliable decentralized private non-secret chats (normally keeps storing messages on the relays; newly logged-in clients will retrieve them) - Cordn—reliable secret chats that rely on coordinator servers #nevent1q…ddl9 npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I've got a redirector for SearXNG btw: https://codonaft.com/searxng.html npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Same question; there are various FOSS metasearch engines: quite a lot of SearXNG instances are running, metasearch2 is also good. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft There's a star button on gitworkshop.dev and gittr.space npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > i prefer an imperfect and genuine human "voice" Definitely. https://image.nostr.build/4951988c1b79510117903231fb3f2fc5f38fcaead1b42de0cad0729607abed0e.jpg For me, poetry in particular is a kind of psychotherapy. It's primarily for humans; I find current AI to be possibly useful only as something additional in this case, not as an initial step towards a first draft: AI doesn't have a (complex enough) body and doesn't experience some chemistry shit the body produces. It's only mimicking some shallow human shit outputs instead, not experiencing the drama that causes humans to make these fuzzy and multi-layered poetic outputs. I can't empathize with pure robotic stuff, can't "live it". Same with occasional posting. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft White Noise is still an experimental attempt to build fully decentralized secret group chats. Currently Armada (Discord-like non-secret decentralized private group chats) and Cordn (secret group chats, relying on coordinator nodes) should be more reliable; both are built on Nostr too. #nevent1q…ddl9 npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Sudden KYC attacks are the dilemma. They are technically not takedowns, but when nothing works, I suspect this may become a primary censorship technique. #nevent1q…ew9g npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Armodafinil used as a nootropic makes a lot of sense. It's usually sold as 150mg pills (which is too heavy IMO, 1/4 is perfect). Works well when taken on an empty stomach + 10 mins later eat something (without overeating, otherwise the opposite effect might be possible). Some brands may suck (specifically, Artvigil caused side effects for me, while Waklert worked with no issues). If you'd give it a try, I'm no doc and all this, take care of reading the listed side effects, and, just in case, prepare whatever is needed to cope with an activated chronic illness if you have it (there might be some unobvious connection with it); drink more water than usual. This one works nothing like coffee; there's no crazy heart rate in particular, just prolonged deep focus. Ideally, don't mix with coffee. A prescription is relatively easy to obtain in the US if needed, AFAIK. In some locations it's not licensed and not controlled (not sold in pharma stores but legally available on online markets without prescription). Microdosing LSD is not effective, at least in my experience. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Thanks for explaining in such a concise way 🙏 Looking forward, whether White Noise group reliability will in practice become reliable without introducing centralized coordination. Cutting-edge technology indeed. It appears my main misconception about Cordn was that it allows multiple coordinators per group at the same time (yet that would still be some kind of a centralized coordination but with a leader election, similar to what Cassandra-like databases do). @npub1qc8…twss I don't know whether it's possible with the current Cordn design; just curious, have you possibly considered having multiple coordinators per group which can choose a leader (to make it less dependent on the reliability of a single yet switchable one)? npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Thanks for your work. I still have poor understanding of what the reliability issues were, yet I hope this release will be more competitive with Cordn in terms of reliability. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I've just noticed a new redirection from the relay page to some other domain. Is it an authentic server behavior? ``` $ curl -v https://relay.pleb.one 2>>/dev/stdout | grep location | grep -Eo '\.at/.*$' .at/register?ref=NEXT ``` npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > Session I'd argue whether it's competitive enough in terms of security, though: https://soatok.blog/2025/01/14/dont-use-session-signal-fork/ https://eylenburg.github.io/im_comparison.htm Cordn currently gives some hope. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft It'd also be nice to have some kind of `protectfromtakedown.me` landing page, for new or existing npubs, that helps to set up NIP-05 and distribute kind 0 events to the NIP-66-discovered dns-specialized relays. This could be a static page, served from the dns-specialized relay itself, that contains a pre-fetched list of relays this relay is already aware of. Takedown identification should be taken with care and with continued maintenance. AI-based monitoring and automatic issue creation are possible: news could be monitored for new domains; tests could be run for new domains. All this stuff should be deployed far away from the centralized stuff like GitHub's CI from the very beginning. All kinds of tricks are possible. I'd normally expect `serverHold` domain status (this happened to `t.me` and `annas-archive.org`), but it could also be a weird nameserver behavior (this happened with `gmailnator.com`, looks like google attached their nameservers that currently return `SERVFAIL`): ``` $ dig @1.1.1.1 gmailnator.com ; <<>> DiG 9.18.42 <<>> @1.1.1.1 gmailnator.com ; (1 server found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 61131 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 1232 ; EDE: 22 (No Reachable Authority): (at delegation gmailnator.com.) ; EDE: 23 (Network Error): ([2001:4860:4802:36::63]:53 returned REFUSED for gmailnator.com A) ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;gmailnator.com.

How do you deal with debates that become emotionally tough, may I ask? It's so easy to lose who we are in them. I used escapism until I found out this won't ever work. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft I've made some tiny progress since I wrote this article: it appears I respond to tone better now. #naddr1qq…n7vx I'm not happy, though. I suck at identifying in time when the other side has started to respond from the 3rd lowest level of the Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement. Self-development is a bitch. #grownostr #meditations #leadership It's not a usual case in my debates: I do my best so the other side would never need to respond to my tone. Do my best to keep my vibes, directed to the other side, in control. I'm interested in rational discussions, not the discussions that turn into emotional drama, where either side has to respond from stress. This case was unique: the other side had a reason for responding to my tone because I was rude towards the third, the discussed side. Which was not some object; it's a group of people. A group of people that never responded to my initial friendly inquiries to them. What I've learned this time: identifying a response to a tone is not easy; it's not obvious because it doesn't feel offensive. It feels just like some normal, valid, routine kind of argument when it's a part of an already ongoing debate. While it should always be used as a marker for putting the discussion on pause instead. It's not yet an unrecoverable stage of discussion, but being too late with this totally kills it. Keep nostr weird, folks. But don't overdo it: notice that any side may be in stress already. That's not the point of debating; the point is truth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryE8fahwC8s npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Not gonna become another troll; that's not my thing.

However, that wouldn't be adequate if I started communication with them this way. > You clearly blame the developers for *not implementing* a feature I've already debunked this assumption here: #nevent1q…lsl7 npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > then you request the Graphene team to work on this solution Also, this is not how it works. Every request in every FOSS project is a *proposition* of something; it's never an obligation for devs implementing anything. A proposition is an open discussion, which might be ignored or might be responded to in some way. A typical universal rejection response would be "this significantly increases complexity; we don't have resources to support such a feature"—which is easy to use as some kind of excuse, but still okay. This automatically ends many unnecessary debates and drama. Their response, however, is different, and this response was challenged by others. And somebody appeared to receive an aggressive, irrational kind of response from GOS, which damages GOS' reputation and shows some kind of paradoxical divergence from their project vision and values they try to represent in the stuff they have on their website and their social media posts (like the OP post about opposing authoritarianism in particular). The declared vision/values themselves are good; the way they execute these values is a trouble. Doubts arise; for instance, are they actually opposing authoritarianism, or are they opposing their hallucinations about authoritarianism while ignoring points from those who live or used to live under the actual authoritarian regimes? Those who got it—unmotivated to propose them anything, since every proposal is energy-consuming. So if it's not rooting, then forking GOS and implementing whatever is needed might be a better rational approach for those who have enough resources. I hope this makes sense. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft Good to know, thanks.

About security in all relevant meanings: the actual official scope GOS is targeting for this feature is not obvious, and it seems to be misleading. The guy in the airport from the news, for instance, could possibly be deluded by the exact same thread responses GOS gave on their forum; he could take their "easily detected by unsophisticated adversaries" as a real counterargument rather than the straw man fallacy, take their "NSA level opposition" response, and make a dangerous conclusion: "all this means I'm safe; I can use this feature in this particular airport because they technically won't be able to get that I used that feature at all". > Do you expect a marvel figure be born out of the Graphene install? Nothing like that much exaggerated. I believe what I initially wanted is possible to implement, and this would work for most of the real-world scenarios I've personally and many others have run into as a routine already, and it has disadvantages like everything we choose to implement. I don't request implementing this anymore, though, as I said. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > What do you expect a police officer to do, when they realized, that you wiped your phone some minutes ago. If this process has fully finished before they had a chance to see my screen—probably nothing.

When you request a feature in GrapheneOS, then you request the Graphene team to work on this solution. Nope, this is out of context. I *used to* request this in the past (before publishing this meme) here on Nostr, but as soon as I noticed they ignored my messages, I did research and found their "criticism" of the similar request: > What you're requesting is that we add things which are easily detected by unsophisticated adversaries Which is a strawman argument. The duress pin behavior is currently clear without any tools: a device reboots, shows an error. And in the same response they have: > Keep doing it and you'll be suspended Because somebody suspected that they are targeting some unexpected scope they can't properly explain. Two very bold mistakes in one comment. This would be insanity to ask them for any request after reading all this. And what scope is that really? I don't know for sure yet. I received an independent response here, a good one: #nevent1q…0lnp > protecting whoever else Is the phone owner's security part of the scope? Hello, @npub1235…0ht5? I know you won't respond to me.

Have you possibly used it in a real scenario already?

And messengers is just an example; generally, I'm looking for any app data cleanup and any directory of files removal. > I do not see this part of the scope of GrapheneOS Exactly, exactly, I don't argue that. What makes me sad is that GOS behaves as if they were rejecting it somehow. There's clearly a paradox. And of course they are reacting accordingly when their stuff is interpreted as, quote: > it seems that the developer approach tends to be that if a solution won't work against NSA *level* opposition And the response is: > This is a disingenuous misrepresentation of our position. What you're requesting is that we add things which are easily detected by unsophisticated adversaries including with automated tooling distributed to them ... A journalist that carries raw secret materials from Edward Snowden—that's a perfect case; what else? What's the appropriate use of their feature? Whatever privacy-respecting person is just passing a border with nothing special on their phone?—There's a link I've posted before about a US citizen and what may happen if you do it there. > easily detected by unsophisticated adversaries With your current implementation—this is a grotesque kind of comment, @npub1235…0ht5 I was trying to be polite, but you don't respond anyway. It's when you're being so unattached from reality, when you literally suddenly remind me of classic authoritarian leader kind of behavior. npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft > text launcher > put an other icon on top of > second profile None of these are close to what I'm looking for, unfortunately; all of them are easy to spot. > whatever you request probably already exists I'm not aware of any tolerable solution that would not require installing a rooted GOS version (which will likely brick a device on some update). npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft #nevent1q…fxur npub1alptdev5srcw2hxg03567p4k6xs3lgj7f6545suc0rzp0xw98svse7rg94 codonaft The actual problematic convenience: #naddr1qq…wlnx
