Last Notes npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Good luck! npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I've personally increasingly utilized (or, in a more negative light, become reliant) on AI for search. For basic stuff I can use Brave (they have their own indexing and a privacy respecting interface) and for more advanced stuff, I might as well ask AI to do the legwork of doing the dozen or so searches and rely on myself for fact checking and interpretation. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate GM npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Out of curiosity, what's the interest in buying a Sega Genesis over software or hardware emulators and mini consoles? npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Expectation: npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate @nprofileโฆ9xfg did you intentionally delete your post on the Fiat Topolino? I wanted to reference it and saw it was missing, there's an archived version but I don't want to share it if it was intentionally redacted. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Generic non-answer: everything has a risk, so minimizing your attack surface is your best bet. But it's unlikely to be a big risk. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://cdn.hzrd149.com/e51c8232f8748550e095a42dddca9c49fe45f6e8de6f22482f9fc354df503783.jpeg npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I personally don't generally post about crypto, and used to mostly follow people who didn't post about it much. Though I recently started just muting the "#bitcoin" tag and then following anyone I found interesting. If you're looking for accounts that are light on the crypto content my following feed might be worth skimming: npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate BTW, substack has an RSS feature if you're unaware npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Worked a bit more on my latest vibe project: npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate We really need a follow up to Bernstein v. United States Department of Justice to set "Code is speech" in stone. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate 1) The protocol is neat. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate A post export ability might be neat, archiving all your posts locally in rebroadcastable signed json and possibly also as one big html/pdf/text doc. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate A test of #IPFS on #Nostr npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Would this change his mind, or is the ceo of Nostr just going to ban me ๐ npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate IPFS test npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Makes me curious, I wonder how IPFS would interact with Nostr for larger uploads. I know it's slower than Blossom for things like images in microblogging posts, but for something like a magazine or other large file hosting it might be useful. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YibAiSQxwA npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Nvm on trying at home, used a different network and it uploaded without issue. Thanks! npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate It timed out, but at 60% instead of 0% in the past. Gonna bet it'll work at home, I'll give it a try sometime tonight after work. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/cbf6807ccecffcf3c6271e79053aa61855485ef4f46f16c2b979d67bccd5c2dc.mp4 npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I use an nsec bunker. No issues on throttled uploads. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Yeah, no trouble loading other magazines npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Airplane mode is on but I'm connected to WiFi, that shouldn't be causing any issues (uploaded that screenshot to Blossom servers with the exact same network settings). npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://blossom.ditto.pub/72fdbbe50ca5369431b042c1df199d608dd7ad4417224a8f5f385d40be95e388.jpeg npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I tried creating a Pressstr magazine, though I'm getting an "All relays failed to accept your upload" error. I don't think it's my connection, but can't be sure. @npub14rg4vrt2v374q95ezeeydu3hkdhmzglcj950mggacap4x0lv0gyq04wun7 any troubleshooting advice? npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate > Power comes from a 5.4kWh battery paired with an 8-horsepower electric motor. Top speed is limited to 19 mph, while a full charge delivers up to 46 miles of range. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Not sure of anything quite like feedbro, but depending on what you're looking for, https://readr.nz might work (local in browser RSS reader as a PWA instead of an extension). npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate ๐บ๐ธ Happy tell the British to bugger off day. Especially in a world that seems to have less and less, enjoy your freedom. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Sorry, maybe I should have been more specific. I just meant as a sign in option in addition to the ability to sign in with an extension. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate To the gamers here on Nostr, Enderal might be worth checking out. I've only played it for a bit, but it's definitely got me hooked. It's a game built on Skyrim, but it's ot exactly a mod, it's a completely seperate game built on the engine. It's free if you already own a later version of Skyrim, and if you don't I picked up the special edition for cheap on the Steam summer sale. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate My go to: npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate My grandparents had a water bed when I was growing up. But man, a small swimming pool's worth of water has got to be quite the risk to have inside. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Nuh Uh, there's at least 15 of us. Stop putting down Nostr with your low all estimates. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Depending on how easy it'd be to implement, NSEC bunkers might be handy. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate "The majority [of supreme court justices in the ruling] refused to treat the everyday act of using a phone as permission to hand your life to the government. A cell-phone user, Kagan wrote, โis not to be viewed as sharing private information with third parties โ which then can be freely passed on to the government โ just by doing the ordinary things cell-phone users do.โ" npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I do now, though recently moved back - spent a few years working out of state after college. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate The price definitely seems a little steep, but then again I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to PC building prices. Though I'd bet there'd probably be a lot of intrest in streamlined PC gaming if they build a 'steam machine verified' system like they do with the steam deck. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I do, but rarely. Usually it's for a second profile with Google Services for the rare occasions I need to use an app that relies on G Services. Also once in a while I spin up a temp one if I want to have an app isolated and/or two copies of an app with different app data. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Just spitballing, but could be a de-aging/beauty filter. The skin on her face and neck look a bit more blurry than the skin on her hands or the upper part of her chest. Or could be post processing of some sort, either by the editor or YouTube itself (I think they're using AI to "enhance" most videos automatically). npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Mediocrity is Death of the Soul by Joshua Blais npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://nate.mecca1.net/posts/2026-06-18_cars-1-evs/ npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://cdn.hzrd149.com/8fe20787994de1f673a8d743fc6f826fdc7dde7568fa55ff14de67d39cd5bccb.jpeg npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate As someone who regularly works out of a bunch if different sites for work that actually looks really interesting. I've mostly just been using the trackpad on my laptop; mice take up space which is annoying in my car, and nearly impossible when I'm taking my motorcycle and can only carry a days worth of stuff in in a tiny airbag backpack. But $80 for a mouse is a bit steep of a price. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Also, I'd wonder if NIP-99 (marketplaces) might be a good fit too. I'd bet there's an overlap between whimsy-maxers on Ditto and an interest in an etsy style decentralized stor front. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Bit of a busy month, just had 860 miles approved for reimbursment in May. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Nmail looks interesting (kind 1301, nostrmail.org). npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7dk3uSLxMI4&pp=ugUEEgJlbg%3D%3D npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate The userbase has stagnated a fair bit, there's quite a lot less active users then there were at its peak. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate It's 4:53AM and the sunrise is already beginning, the summer solstice is definitely getting close. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://connectedplaces.online/reports/fr164-the-pope-on-defederation/ npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate *going with one when my Fiesta dies at least npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Same, they look promising. I don't need new a vehicle now, but depending on how their launch goes I may very heavily consider going with one. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdK5eJ3p7nA# npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://i.imgflip.com/3t2kns.jpg npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate *lore npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Apparently, this has existed for a while. I am apparently way out of the loop on Amazon lote npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Apparently Amazon Haul is a thing. Lol looks like discount Temu. Complete with the sizure inducing animations and "1c" purchases. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate #nevent1qโฆvmz7 npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Gary npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://cdn.hzrd149.com/faa89dfbbac955f6a1f2a054b6be7a7516c705961008a5f3149876949a7da327.jpeg npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate My car is still in the shop so I picked up some long overdue rain gear, the super cheap amazon rain gear works amazingly well. Even after an hour plus commute by motercycle through some somewhat heavy rain my shirt and pants were still completely dry. Even had I taken my car, they'd have been fairly wet from a walk from my car across a parking lot, so I'd say that was a pretty great success. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Good luck npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Engine appears to be fine luckily npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate It appears the coolant in my car decided to be a silly goose, and thought it'd cool the engine better if it was inside the engine instead if the radiator. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate If animals weren't meant to be eaten then why are they made of food? npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate English ('Murican Edition) npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Ironically Cuomo went through basically the same arc before her. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I use VLC for music, and AudioAnchor for pods & audiobooks npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate ๐๐ซค๐ npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I'm familiar with it, but maybe it's not to common outside of people who design images/UIs/etc? npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate nate.mecca1.net/posts/2026-04-23_nmail-is-neat/ npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate http://cdn.hzrd149.com/11437134b9fc229bd3770003941ffe5a62d957757a76097a11e09758fccff289.jpeg npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Welp, there's some snow outside this morning. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://soeren.one/2026/ama_cereal_soup/ npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I'm kinda take it or leave it with zaps and tips and such. If I was offering services or developing software maybe it'd be a nice way to cover some costs or something, and I'm sure it's a quick dopamine hit to get a fraction of a cent instead of a like on a post. Something about micropayments just feels iffy to me though, and I'd personally just like to keep my writings and interactions free of money being exchanged. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Bro just lost his skipidy Ohio Rizz no cap frfr npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate ๐ป npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate It's easier to escape Earth's gravitation pull than it is to escape #Microslop npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I wanted to try out NIP-B0 (public bookmarks/link aggregation), and since it looks like most clients are works in progress, I wound up vibing a fork of MKpinja. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Growing tomatoes from a McDonald's burger npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate "This e-mail confirms that your latest billing statement, for the account ending in [redacted], is available on the AWS web site.

It's Debian based, but free of SystemD. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Out if curiosity, are these standard Nostr communities or something new? Looks like a neat project. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I meant to say "Shavian is cool, I tried to learn it a while back but cheated with a tool here." npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ฉ๐ฏ ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ต๐ค ๐ฏ ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ฒ๐ ๐ ๐ค๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฏ ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฑ ๐ข๐ฒ๐ค ๐๐จ๐ ๐๐ด ๐ฒ ๐๐ฐ๐๐ฆ๐ ๐ข๐ฆ๐ ๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ค ๐ฃ๐ฝ npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://cdn.hzrd149.com/a8b2a7291080292d16813384a391dcc53ee74010dfd955fa485ed83d8eec8eba.jpeg npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Is cereal a soup? npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Well looks like Debian might have cooked my tablet. Upgraded from Bookworm to Trixie (yes, I know I'm late to the party on that) and something just broke itself. And, instead of going to bed early like I should be (my alarm is going off at 4:45 AM) I'm seeing if I can get it working. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://bookstr.xyz/ might be what you're looking for. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Out of curiosity, what's an behind the decision to use Wikipedia and Archive.org instead of being able to comment on any URL? npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Private social media - Facebook style posts for semi private communication with friends (lol I know "Facebook" and "Private" in the same sentence is a bit of an oxymoron lol). npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I *think* (assuming courts don't strike the laws down, which I hope they do) the laws mostly focus on companies. If Zapstore and GrapheneOS are outside jurisdictions that require it, and somebody in a restricted jurisdiction get their hands on it one way or another, nobody's going to jail. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Well, I might have just had a 'productive' all night gaming session followed by sleeping into 4PM. Got called to do a set of 9PM-9AM shifts, because of some rather high winds, at the local power company I recently started working at. Wish me luck.
