yeah i like it because its light. my mac battery has been not lasting that long lately, maybe because there's too much shit running in the background.
with my linux machine the cpu footprint is very minimal because i built my desktop from scratch and know all the programs running. so somehow it feels like it has longer battery life these days

nostrdb lead to notedeck/android and a damus ios that works offline, makes it possible to negentropy sync efficiently and use the outbox model efficiently. you need solid foundations in place first

Yeah this is the biggest thing for me. nostrdb automatically unwraps giftwraps/pns notes in a threadpool. I have tens of thousand of wrapped ai convo events in dave/agentium that stream in realtime. The idea of using something external for this is retarded.

Its a web app

2026-06-03 09:51:32 GMT

- reply

Those aren’t native clients. The web is a security nightmare, which is why web apps suck and why i built notedeck with a signer built in the browser

2026-06-03 09:41:52 GMT

The external signer concept is the worst ux imaginable for native clients.

2026-06-02 23:49:08 GMT

met an 28 year old electrician at an airport bar and he said he just got his first pc. I explained what i did and he was genuinely interested because he had no idea what software was or how it is made. The pc was like a black box to him and there was no conception of how it worked or what programs were.
Fascinating.

ai coding killing the joy of coding is a real concern of mine. you have to use ai to be competitive productivity wise, yet this makes the act of building software less fun for people who actually enjoy writing code. For these people it’s just not as fun to build software anymore.
So is it really more productive if you start to slow down and get less motivated on cool projects?
A big motivation for me was the challenge of tackling a new engineering problem that hasn’t been solved yet: nostrdb for example. I don’t think i could have vibed nostrdb and had it turned out with the same quality.
maybe i shouldn’t give up on human coding for the initial innovation/engineering work 🤔

"i'm such a hero, you're not grateful for me dishing out jacks money to you"
we know what you are man. you even admitted to me in person you don't do shit at opensats, and are just there to be close to the money and to influence decision so that you and your friends companies (primal) win and FOSS loses.
not to mention people coming to me on the board saying how you bully and strongarm people to the point they want to leave.
this guy is the root of all the issues
