Last Notes npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate 1) The protocol is neat. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate A test of #IPFS on #Nostr 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 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 🇺🇸 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 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, “is not to be viewed as sharing private information with third parties – which then can be freely passed on to the government – just by doing the ordinary things cell-phone users do.”" 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 https://nate.mecca1.net/posts/2026-06-18_cars-1-evs/ npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7dk3uSLxMI4&pp=ugUEEgJlbg%3D%3D 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 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 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 Ironically Cuomo went through basically the same arc before her. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I use VLC for music, and AudioAnchor for pods & audiobooks npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate 😆🫤😕 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 🍻 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 "This e-mail confirms that your latest billing statement, for the account ending in [redacted], is available on the AWS web site. Your account will be charged the following: npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate 🚀 npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate On Android using Amber npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Are there any known issues with bunker sign ins? I look to be signed in, but actions (e.g. subscribing to a community) just prompt me to login. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Also just won a game of quake. Webdx is cool. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://blossom.ditto.pub/b82eac147785c4f173e42f6ab6d129a0b9603c0d065554bf554e2a558bb012b9.jpeg 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 𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑰𐑩𐑯 𐑦𐑟 𐑒𐑵𐑤 𐑯 𐑲 𐑑𐑮𐑲𐑛 𐑑 𐑤𐑼𐑮𐑯 𐑦𐑑 𐑱 𐑢𐑲𐑤 𐑚𐑨𐑒 𐑞𐑴 𐑲 𐑗𐑰𐑑𐑦𐑛 𐑢𐑦𐑞 𐑱 𐑑𐑵𐑤 𐑣𐑽 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 Scratch that on sharing it in NIP-23 form. Habla won't accept a post over 65,000 bytes, I can't seem to log into Yakihonne via Amber, and clicking publish on Primal does nothing. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Made a revised version of my older social media protocol comparison post npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate In my experience as a non-engineer with very mild development experience, when I toy with AI it has the feeling of a skill multiplier. With a skill of 0.1 I can give it instructions (eg comply with these NIPs, keep it all local within the browser using web storage, etc) doing way more than I could have on my own. Multiplying a skill of zero, though ("dear AI: build this thing on your own without oversight") makes for a broken mess of incompatibility and unnecessary (and probably insecure) back-ends. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I seem to have run into an issue where the color picker on themes pops up behind the theme editor, is anyone seeing that? Seems to do that on all my browsers (Brave/Librewolf & Desktop/Mobile), but can't rule out jank on my own setup. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I use ncmpcpp for music in Termux. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I used Librewolf for a while until the memory leaks got to me, now I mostly use Brave. Not sure if MAC would have the same Gecko issues though, Firefox/Librewolf might be worth a shot. Vivaldi is also cool, it's a bit more suite-like than my liking, but it's more of a preference thing than a knock against the browser. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate 🚀 npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I've toyed around with setting up a relay, although haven't actually setup a public one before. The Python one by DCS is exceptionally easy to setup. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I haven't seen much spam honestly. I keep hearing people talk about it, and assume I don't have the reach worth the attention of spammers, but I don't see any in the replies here either. Unless maybe it's just Amythest cleaning things up or something. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I think the Voyage client handles data well, not loading things like images/videos by default. Tried it in the past, a tad bit too minimalist for my taste (and I never browse on cellular), but has a nice charm to it. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate @nprofile…z2n3 @nprofile…lf00 @nprofile…55kn @nprofile…2szn npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate IMO, I feel like Nostr and Bluesky are struggling for two different reasons - Nostr with minimal exposure and a high barrier to entry, and Bluesky because it got very heavily political captured. I'd bet there'd be a lot to learn on the Nostr side about Bluesky's easyness to join and abstraction of keys (or forgoing them for domain based accounts in some cases). npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate !!! I have no idea what I'm talking about, so take it with a grain of salt. !!! npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Trusting Trust in the Fediverse npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Why is it the companies with the problems are the ones without bug bounties? Would have loved a payout this morning, but all I get is my tax docs accessible without authentication. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate "Ads plus AI is sort of uniquely unsettling to me," Altman said during an event at Harvard University in May 2024. "I kind of think of ads as a last resort for us for a business model." npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate It might be a bit rough around the edges, but I'm hoping Matrix wins out on becoming the chat standard. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Thou offer the wisdom to rival the greatest of tomes npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Work had me in Niagara, NY today. Got off early and stopped by the falls. Was a a combination of snowy and misty, but got a few cool snapshots. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I don't know of many Orthodox books, though The Papacy and the Orthodox by A. Edward Siecienski has been on my reading list for a bit. I think it's written by an Orthodox scholar, but I'm not 100% that's the case. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://newsletter.squishy.computer/p/specify-it-only-somewhat npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Maybe I'm just misunderstanding the graph, but based on it alone it looks to me like Brexit had no effect on UK/EU GDP per capita? Everything's the same until the covid crash, then the UK remained in a lead until ~2023 when it dropped below. That's ~7 years after the referendum and ~3 years after officially leaving the EU. Unless post covid recovery due to the UK's independence is what you're referring to? npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Got a company phone today. Unfortunately, it's an Apple phone. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Amythest & Nostrudel npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Google Bard? npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Neat! I use TTS fairly often, and there's not a lot of options out there for free (as in beer, much less as in speech) local models that sound decent. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I've been working at a place that that provides critical infrastructure as if late. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://i.postimg.cc/G2VCM2rM/Screenshot-20250424-024530.png npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I feel like NY Times/Post is kinda mainstream, but in my tech news like RSS feeds I've got: npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I sometimes write (journal entries and otherwise) and then later scan to files to use along side typed documents. I feel like sometimes I can type faster than I can think, but think faster than I can write, so writing kind of keeps me more mentally focused if that makes any sense. But it's usually with a pilot/parker pen of some sort, I've never used a feather pen or anything else I'd need to soak in ink. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate @nprofile…7f7k usually posts daily news npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Just finished reading Exit Strategy by Jen J. Danna. It's been on my (metaphorical) shelf for a while, I think I found it a few years ago Dollar Tree. Started reading it during a power outage the other day, and got hooked pretty fast. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Of course, all the voices in my head wouldn't have it any other way. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Happy new year npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate https://text.tchncs.de/1nate/holos-is-adding-custom-domain-support npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I had a Nokia phone before, they've got a decent camera and are often absurdly cheap if you get one locked to your carrier. I think the one I used had an unlockable bootloader too, though no idea if the newer ones do. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Merry Holidays, Happy Christmas, and pour one out for 'ol Saint Nick who threw hands with an Arianism heretic. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate @nprofile…6jp9 What's my fedi tree looking like across the bridge? npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate You think a quick docker compose file with cloudflare tunnel and a relay would be something to consider as well (or, alternatively, just a bash script to install cloudflared + a relay)? Most people here are probably technical enough to do something like that, and running it on an old laptop or Raspberry Pi might be something interesting to a lot of people if it was pretty much plug and play without need of a static IP or open port. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Just logged into Primal, I'm seeing all your posts. It seems like that'd be an odd topic to have one off censorship on. Do you think there's a chance that they just failed to broadcast to the Primal relay, and now that people are talking about it, they've been re-broadcast? I believe you when you say they were missing earlier, but it doesn't look like anything's being actively censored (from what I can see anyway). npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Ḡ̶̢̰̬̦͖̙̭̮̺̗͖͎̻͎̅̅̆͒͛́̿̀̉̚̕͘͝ͅo̴̧̧̨̗̺̙͇̭̩̭͖̖͙̻̺̺̮̔͋͐̓͘ǫ̷̝̬̦͈̼̲̣̥̥͗̈̊̈́͛̓̽̀̉̏̉͒̆̒̚̕ͅͅd̵̛͇̤͈̙̳̰͛̋̽̂̆̌̓͆͂̏͌͐͝ ̶̡̠͇̙̙̱̮̮̫͇̮͓̭̩̦̀̈̽̋̀̉́͜͜o̴̡̗͉̩̼͓͖̗͎̺̐̈́͊̋̀̓̑͗̒̑͝͝l̶͖̗̊̈̊̅̽͂̀̅̐̈́d̶͎̄̐̏̐̐͝ ̶̙̪̜̬̏̾́̔͌̓̂̉̽͛̊̂̓̊͝ͅz̸̳͎̣̼͎͓̝̱̫̪̬̳͇͈͇͊͜a̵̡̨̱͉͔̝̱̹̞̩̘͆̃̈͌ļ̶̝͔̲̗̙̭̯͓̖̱̑͂̓̈́͐̒̉̌̑̇̈̂̆͝ͅg̶̢̱͚̼̜̱͐̿̀͊͂̿̈̉̕̚̚ợ̷̤̦̹̯͖̖̺͇̣̞̜̤̳̤̄̔͂̆̇̑͋̆͂͂̈́̉̔͜ ̸̧̨̧̯̞̘̝̜̬͇̭̞͇̣̫͔̰́͛͒̊́͂͒͗̆͝t̵̨̨̛̘̮̳̱͈̞̦̬͙͒̈̓̀̔̆̓̚͘̚͜e̴͍͖͎̟̲̩̯̜̤͉̦̖̻̎͂̌̐̅̍͆̎͛̈́̀͐̈́͐͒x̸̯̮͂̿͋̓͜t̷̛̜̺̫̖͋̌͋͑̈̍ (good old zalgo text) npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I replaced an iffy valve stem on my car today, everything went well until the check engine light came on during my test drive (new, unrelated problem). npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate Finished reading Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin recently, it's a really good read. At the start it feels like the writing keeps branching in unrelated ways, only to abandon the plotlines and jump to something seemingly unrelated, but it all comes together in the latter half of the book. A very interesting read with a fairly unique execution. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate I personally think that Bluesky's PDSs should have remained neutral infrastructure. Before, when they were like that, you could effectively build out your own platform using Bluesky's infrastructure for hosting, kinda bootstrapping the protocol and letting anyone build a platform with the rules of their choosing. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate My reading kinda ebbs and flows, but I've been reading a fair but lately. Over the last month or so I've read two books in their entirety, read parts of another one or two, and re-listened to a 6 book audiobook series. A lot of times I use audiobooks and ebooks via TTS as background audio when working/gaming/driving etc. npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9 Nate DiVine, a Vine style shortform video app using Nostr, is in the process of being launched.
