Last Notes
I don't know how they measure it exactly but in the simplest conception, if the US provides 500 dollars worth of goods and services while getting 1000 dollars of goods and services from other countries, then there are 500 dollars that may come back. So whether the Saudis use them or the Chinese use them, the money might come back to the US. Or it could be held and used abroad. There may or may not be a problem. It seems that the 500 dollars will eventually come back to the US. If the US has exported its inflation to an extreme degree, it means eventually non-US people will eventually come to own the US, right? Maybe that means better stewards take over those resources, the US deserved it. Or maybe the dollars never come home. Or maybe the proportion is such that it's never a problem. But I think there is a potential problem if people do not actually want people from Saudi Arabia and China to be their new bosses.

>>> build me a Nostr relay
To create a Nostr relay, you'll need to implement the following
functionalities:
1. Handle connect/disconnect events from clients.
2. Relay messages between connected clients and external relays.
3. Implement message filtering based on user preferences (e.g., kind,
tags).
4. Validate and publish new notes and events.
Here's a basic Python implementation using asyncio for handling
asynchronous connections. This relay will support text notes with optional
tags. You'll need to install the `nostr` library first (`pip install
nostr`).
```python
import asyncio
from nostr import Note, Event
from nostr.relay_manager import RelayManager
# Global relay manager instance
relay_manager = RelayManager()
class NostrRelay:
def __init__(self, host="0.0.0.0", port=6006):
self.host = host
self.port = port
self.clients = set()
self.filter = {"#t": ["text"]} # Default filter for '#t' tag
async def broadcast(self, message):
for client in self.clients:
if client != message.source and not isinstance(message, Event)
or client.filter(message):
await client.send(message)
async def handle_client(self, reader, writer):
self.clients.add(writer)
try:
while True:
data = await reader.read(1024)
if not data:
break
message = await relay_manager.deserialize(data)
if isinstance(message, Note) or isinstance(message,
Event):
# Validate and publish new notes/events
if message.content.strip() and message.kind in [0, 1]:
# Text note (kind=0) or metadata (kind=1)
await self.broadcast(message)
relay_manager.publish(message)
elif isinstance(message, str) and
message.startswith("filter "):
# Update client's filter preferences
tag, value = message.split(" ", 2)[1:]
writer.filter = {tag: [value]}
else:
raise ValueError(f"Unknown message: {message}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error handling client: {e}")
finally:
self.clients.remove(writer)
writer.close()
def filter(self, message):
return all(message.tags.get(tag) == value for tag, value in
self.filter.items())
async def run(self):
server = await asyncio.start_server(self.handle_client, self.host,
self.port)
print(f"Nostr Relay listening on {self.host}:{self.port}")
try:
await server.serve_forever()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
pass
finally:
server.close()
if __name__ == "__main__":
relay = NostrRelay()
asyncio.run(relay.run())
```
To run this relay:
1. Save the script as `nostr_relay.py`.
2. Install the required libraries (`pip install nostr`).
3. Run the script using `python nostr_relay.py`.
This basic implementation supports text notes with optional tags and
allows clients to specify filter preferences by sending `filter #t
<tag_value>` messages. You can further extend this implementation to
support more features like metadata (kind=1), follow/followers lists,
reactions (kind=7), etc.
For a production-grade Nostr relay, consider using an existing open-source
project like `nostr-relay` by nbs Code or building upon the reference
implementation provided by the Nostr project.
>>> Please write a Nostr relay in TypeScript for me
Here's a basic Nostr relay implementation in TypeScript using Node.js and
the `nostr-tools` library. This relay will support text notes with
optional tags, kind filtering, and event relaying.
First, make sure to install the required dependencies:
```bash
npm init -y
npm install nostr-tools net
```
Now, create a file named `nostr-relay.ts`:
```typescript
import { Event, Note, RelayManager } from 'nostr-tools';
import * as net from 'net';
type Filter = {
kinds?: number[];
tags?: Record<string, string[]>;
};
class NostrRelay {
private host: string;
private port: number;
private clients: Set<net.Socket> = new Set();
private filter: Filter = {};
constructor(host = '0.0.0.0', port = 6006) {
this.host = host;
this.port = port;
}
private broadcast(message: Event): void {
for (const client of this.clients) {
if (
client !== message.source &&
(!message.kind || this.filter.kinds?.includes(message.kind)) &&
(!this.filter.tags ||
Object.entries(this.filter.tags).every(([tag, values]) =>
values.includes(message.tags?.[tag] ?? '')))
) {
client.write(RelayManager.serialize(message));
}
}
}
private handleClient(client: net.Socket): void {
this.clients.add(client);
client.on('data', (data) => {
try {
const message = RelayManager.deserialize(data.toString());
if (!(message instanceof Event)) return;
if (message instanceof Note && message.content.trim()) {
// Validate and publish new notes/events
this.broadcast(message);
RelayManager.publish(message);
} else if (typeof message === 'string' &&
message.startsWith('filter ')) {
// Update client's filter preferences
const [, ...args] = message.split(' ');
const [tag, value] = args.map((arg) => arg.trim());
this.filter.tags ??= {};
this.filter.tags[tag] = (this.filter.tags[tag] ||
[]).concat(value);
} else {
throw new Error(`Unknown message: ${message}`);
}
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error handling client:', error);
}
});
client.on('end', () => {
this.clients.delete(client);
});
}
private start(): void {
const server = net.createServer(this.handleClient.bind(this));
server.listen(this.port, this.host, () => {
console.log(`Nostr Relay listening on ${this.host}:${this.port}`);
});
}
}
const relay = new NostrRelay();
relay.start();
```
To run the relay:
1. Save the script as `nostr-relay.ts`.
2. Install the required libraries (`npm install nostr-tools net`).
3. Compile and run the TypeScript code using Node.js: `ts-node
nostr-relay.ts`.
This basic implementation supports text notes with optional tags, kind
filtering (using `filter kinds <kind>` messages), and event relaying based
on specified filters. You can extend this implementation to support more
features like metadata, follow/followers lists, reactions, etc.
For a production-grade Nostr relay, consider using an existing open-source
project or building upon the reference implementation provided by the
Nostr project. Keep in mind that handling large numbers of connections and
messages efficiently requires careful considerations regarding performance
optimizations, error handling, and other aspects specific to your use
case.
Don't forget to monitor and maintain your relay's health regularly, as
unexpected issues can arise due to various factors such as network
instability or software bugs.

>>> build me a Nostr relay
Building your own Nostr relay requires some technical knowledge and
familiarity with the Nostr protocol. Here's a basic guide to get you
started:
1. Set up a server: You will need a server where your relay will be
hosted. This can be a virtual private server (VPS) or a physical machine,
depending on your requirements and budget. Ensure that the server has
enough resources to handle the expected load of incoming messages.
2. Install necessary software: Depending on your choice of language and
environment for the relay, you may need to install some prerequisite
packages. For example, if you choose Go (Golang), you'll need to install
the Go development environment. If you choose Node.js, you will need to
install Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) on your server.
3. Clone or download a Nostr relay implementation: There are several
open-source Nostr relay implementations available in various programming
languages. Choose the one that best fits your requirements and language
preference. Some popular options include:
- Go: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nos2 (Recommended)
- Node.js: https://github.com/alanjfs/nostr-relay
4. Configure the relay: Follow the instructions provided by the project to
configure your relay, including setting up a public key and private key
for the relay, as well as any other settings required by the
implementation you've chosen.
5. Build and run the relay: Once you have configured the relay, build and
run it according to the instructions provided by the project. This will
typically involve running a command like `go build` (for Go) or `npm
start` (for Node.js).
6. Monitor the relay: After starting your relay, you should be able to
connect to it using a Nostr client and begin sending and receiving
messages. Keep an eye on its performance and consider setting up
monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana to ensure it remains
operational and handles incoming traffic efficiently.
7. Keep updated: Nostr is an evolving protocol, so it's essential to stay
updated with the latest developments and updates to the protocol
specifications. Follow the Nostr GitHub repository
(https://github.com/nostr-protocol) for announcements, updates, and
discussions related to the protocol.
Keep in mind that building a Nostr relay requires some technical expertise
and experience with server administration and programming. If you're not
comfortable with these concepts, consider using an existing hosted relay
or hiring a developer to help you set up your own relay.
>>> Please write a Nostr relay in TypeScript for me
Here is an example of a basic Nostr relay built in TypeScript using the
nostr-relay library:
1. First, install Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) on your server.
You can find installation instructions at https://nodejs.org/en/download/.
2. Create a new directory for your Nostr relay project and navigate to it
in your terminal.
3. Run the following commands to initialize a new TypeScript project:
```bash
npm init -y
npm install typescript @types/node @types/ws
```
4. Create a `tsconfig.json` file with the following content:

const relay = new Relay()
relay.on('connect', (client) => {
console.log(`${client.peerName} connected`)
})
relay.on('disconnect', (client) => {
console.log(`${client.peerName} disconnected`)
})
relay.on('error', (err) => {
console.error(err)
})
relay.on('message', (message: Message) => {
console.log(`Received message: ${JSON.stringify(message)}`)
})
// Start the relay on port 8081
relay.start('ws://localhost:8081')
```
7. Create a new file called `src/scripts/build.ts`, and add the following
code to compile TypeScript files into JavaScript:
```typescript
import * as ts from 'typescript'
import { exec } from 'child_process'
const args = process.argv.slice(2)
const options: ts.CompilerOptions = {
outDir: './dist',
}
if (args.includes('--watch')) {
// Tailwind CLI watches for changes and recompiles when needed
exec('tsc -watch')
} else {
const result = ts.transpileModule(
'src/index.ts',
{ compilerOptions: options }
)
fs.writeFileSync('dist/index.js', result.outputText)
}
```
8. Create a new file called `package.json` and add the following content:

>>> build me a Nostr relay
Building a Nostr (Network of Operating Systems for Telematics) relay
involves a series of steps that combine both software development and
network engineering. Nostr aims to provide a framework for the development
of vehicle telematics applications, offering a middleware layer that
abstracts away the complexities of different vehicle platforms and
networking standards.
Here's a high-level overview of what you would need to do to build a Nostr
relay:
### 1. Familiarize Yourself with Nostr Framework
- **Understand Nostr’s Architecture:** Read through Nostr's documentation
and understand its core principles, architecture, and the components
involved (like the Telematics Gateway, Core, and Nodes).
- **Learn About Vehicle Interfaces:** Understand the different vehicle
interfaces that Nostr supports, such as OBD-II, CAN (Controller Area
Network), and others.
### 2. Set Up Your Development Environment
- **Install Required Tools:** You'll need a Linux-based environment with
tools for development and deployment. Docker can be a valuable tool for
running Nostr components.
- **Configure Networking:** Ensure you have a network environment set up
that can simulate or connect to actual vehicles.
### 3. Implement a Nostr Node
A Nostr node is the basic unit that interacts with the vehicle's systems
and communicates over the Nostr network. Here are the general steps:
**a. Design Your Node:** Define what data your node will collect or
control within the vehicle.
**b. Develop the Node:** Write the software code for your node, ensuring
it complies with Nostr’s API specifications.
**c. Build the Docker Image:** Create a Docker image for your Nostr node
and push it to a registry.
**d. Deploy Your Node:** Configure and deploy your node on a system that
will act as a Telematics Gateway or within a Docker swarm/cluster if
you're using that setup.
### 4. Set Up a Telematics Gateway
- **Telematics Gateway Configuration:** The Telematics Gateway acts as the
central hub for Nostr nodes in your network. Configure it to communicate
with your deployed nodes.
- **Network Configuration:** Ensure the Telematics Gateway and nodes are
properly networked to enable communication.
### 5. Testing and Validation
**a. Test Data Flow:** Verify that data is flowing from the vehicle
through your Nostr nodes to the Telematics Gateway correctly.
**b. Validate Communication:** Use diagnostic tools to ensure all
components are communicating as expected and that the data received is
accurate and reliable.
### 6. Integration with Applications
- **Develop or Integrate Applications:** Nostr's strength lies in its
ability to connect vehicle data with applications. Develop or integrate
applications that use the data streams provided by your Nostr nodes.
### 7. Documentation and Maintenance
- **Document Your Work:** Keep detailed documentation on every step of
your process, from setup to deployment.
- **Monitor and Maintain:** Regularly monitor the system for performance
and security issues, and perform updates and maintenance as necessary.
### Legal and Safety Considerations
Remember that working with vehicle systems can have legal and safety
implications. Ensure you're compliant with relevant regulations (such as
GDPR if dealing with personal data), and always prioritize safety in your
implementations.
Building a Nostr relay is an intricate process that involves a deep
understanding of both vehicle systems and software development. The above
steps are a high-level outline and may require more detailed work
depending on your specific application and requirements. Always refer to
the latest documentation provided by the Allen Institute for Artificial
Intelligence (Ai2) for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
>>> Please write a Nostr relay in TypeScript for me
Creating a fully functional Nostr relay involves multiple components,
including software development for Nostr nodes and setting up a Telematics
Gateway. Below is a simplified example of how you might start implementing
a Nostr Node in TypeScript. This example focuses on a very basic scenario:
a Node that listens for simulated vehicle data and publishes it to the
Nostr network.
Given the complexity of Nostr and the numerous components involved, this
example will serve as a conceptual starting point rather than a complete
solution. The actual implementation would require more details about the
specific vehicle interface you're working with (e.g., OBD-II, CAN), and
integration with the broader Nostr ecosystem, including the Telematics
Gateway.
### Step 1: Install Node.js and TypeScript
Before you start, make sure you have Node.js and npm installed on your
system. Then initialize a new Node.js project and install TypeScript:
```sh
npm init -y
npm install typescript --save-dev
```
### Step 2: Set Up Your TypeScript Project
Create a `src` folder with a `main.ts` file.
```sh
mkdir src
touch src/main.ts
```
### Step 3: Implement Basic Nostr Node in TypeScript
Here's a simplified example of how you might begin implementing a Nostr
Node in TypeScript. This example uses a mock function to simulate data
reading from a vehicle:
```typescript
// src/main.ts
import { createServer, Server } from 'http';
import { Client } from 'net';
// Simulate Vehicle Data
const mockVehicleData: { speed: number; acceleration: number } = {
speed: 50,
acceleration: 0.5,
};
// Mock Telematics Gateway Connection
const gatewayAddress = "127.0.0.1"; // Example address, replace with
actual gateway
const gatewayPort = 8080; // Example port, replace with actual port
async function listenAndPublishData() {
const server = createServer(() => new Server(server)); // Create a
server to listen for connections
server.on('connect', async (client: Client) => {
// Simulate sending data to the connected client (e.g., Telematics
Gateway)
const message = JSON.stringify({ data: mockVehicleData });
await client.write(message);
await client.end();
});
server.listen(gatewayPort, () => {
console.log(`Listening on port ${gatewayPort}`);
});
}
// Start Listening
listenAndPublishData().catch(err => console.error(err));
```
### Key Points of the Example:
- **Server Setup:** The Node.js `http` module is used to create a simple
server that listens for connections.
- **Data Simulation:** A mock `mockVehicleData` object represents data
you'd retrieve from a vehicle.
- **Connection Handling:** When a connection is made, the Node simulates
sending the mock vehicle data to the connected client (e.g., the
Telematics Gateway).
### Notes:
- This example greatly simplifies the Nostr relay architecture and doesn't
account for complex aspects of Nostr, such as serialization, error
handling, or proper message formats.
- Real-world implementation would require detailed knowledge of vehicle
interfaces, Nostr specifications, and potentially complex error handling
and retry logic.
- The Telematics Gateway address and port need to be configured correctly
to match the actual gateway setup in your Nostr environment.
### Getting More Detailed Help:
For a more detailed and accurate implementation, you should refer to the
official Nostr documentation and GitHub repositories provided by Ai2. The
example above is purely illustrative and serves to demonstrate the very
basics of setting up a Node.js server to potentially fit within a Nostr
architecture. Further development will require understanding vehicle
communication protocols and properly integrating with the Nostr middleware
framework.

As I wrote, when you _create_ (take) a snapshot of your btrfs subvolume (which could be mounted to "/" for example) it's quite literally "instant". Only when you want copy/send this snapshot to another filesystem or disk it will take some time, even if you copy/send incrementally, so only the blocks changed since the reference snapshot.
Maybe you're not using a reference snapshot at all? In which case all data (not only the modified blocks) in the current snapshot would have to be transferred.
In any case, happy tinkering 👍
Or secondary layers at all?
The on-chain fees should be low. But given the low maximum throughput of the chain it implies that people are not actually using bitcoin as money.

>>> build me a Nostr relay
Building a Nostr relay involves setting up a server that can handle Nostr
protocol messages, such as events and subscriptions. Below is a basic
guide to help you set up a simple Nostr relay using Node.js. This example
will use the `nostr-tools` library for handling Nostr messages.
### Prerequisites
1. **Node.js**: Ensure you have Node.js installed on your system.
2. **npm**: The Node Package Manager, which comes with Node.js.
### Steps to Build a Nostr Relay
1. **Initialize a New Node.js Project**
Open your terminal and run the following commands:
```sh
mkdir nostr-relay
cd nostr-relay
npm init -y
```
2. **Install Dependencies**
Install the necessary packages:
```sh
npm install express ws nostr-tools
```
3. **Create the Relay Server**
Create a file named `relay.js` and add the following code:
```js
const express = require('express');
const WebSocket = require('ws');
const { Event, Kind } = require('nostr-tools');
const app = express();
const wss = new WebSocket.Server({ noServer: true });
// In-memory storage for events (for simplicity)
const eventStore = {};
// Handle WebSocket connections
wss.on('connection', ws => {
console.log('Client connected');
ws.on('message', message => {
try {
const data = JSON.parse(message);
handleMessage(data, ws);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Invalid message:', error);
}
});
ws.on('close', () => {
console.log('Client disconnected');
});
});
// Handle incoming messages
function handleMessage(data, ws) {
if (!data || typeof data !== 'object') return;
const { kind } = data;
switch (kind) {
case Kind.EVENT:
handleEvent(data);
break;
case Kind.REQ:
handleReq(data, ws);
break;
default:
console.log('Unknown message kind:', kind);
}
}
// Handle event messages
function handleEvent(eventData) {
const { id } = eventData;
if (id) {
eventStore[id] = eventData;
console.log(`Stored event: ${id}`);
}
}
// Handle request messages
function handleReq(req, ws) {
const { ids } = req;
if (!ids || !Array.isArray(ids)) return;
ids.forEach(id => {
const event = eventStore[id];
if (event) {
ws.send(JSON.stringify(event));
}
});
}
// Set up HTTP server to upgrade WebSocket connections
const server = app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Relay server listening on port 3000');
});
server.on('upgrade', (request, socket, head) => {
wss.handleUpgrade(request, socket, head, ws => {
wss.emit('connection', ws, request);
});
});
```
4. **Run the Relay Server**
Start your relay server by running:
```sh
node relay.js
```
### Explanation
- **Express**: Used to set up an HTTP server.
- **WebSocket**: Handles WebSocket connections for real-time
communication.
- **nostr-tools**: Provides utilities for working with Nostr
events and kinds.
This basic relay server stores events in memory and responds to requests
for those events. For a production-grade relay, you would need to consider
persistent storage, rate limiting, authentication, and other features to
handle more complex scenarios and ensure reliability and security.

>>> build me a Nostr relay
Building a Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) relay can
be an exciting project, as it allows you to contribute to the
decentralized social networking ecosystem. Here's a step-by-step guide to
help you set up your own Nostr relay:
### Prerequisites
1. **Technical Knowledge**: Basic understanding of networking, server
management, and programming (Python or Go).
2. **Server Access**: A VPS or dedicated server with SSH access.
3. **Domain Name** (optional but recommended): For public accessibility.
### Step-by-Step Guide
#### 1. Choose Your Technology Stack
Nostr relays can be built using different languages, most commonly Python
and Go:
- **Python**: Libraries like `nestr` or `py-nostr`.
- **Go**: The `nostrd` project is popular for implementing relays.
#### 2. Set Up the Server Environment
1. **SSH into Your Server**:
- Use a tool like PuTTY (Windows) or Terminal (macOS/Linux) to connect
via SSH.
2. **Update System Packages**:
```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
```
3. **Install Necessary Tools**:
- For Python: `pip` and `virtualenv`.
- For Go: Install the Go compiler if you plan to use a Go-based relay.
Example for installing Python tools on Ubuntu/Debian:
```bash
sudo apt install python3-pip python3-venv
```
#### 3. Choose and Set Up Your Relay
**Python Example Using `nestr`:**
1. **Create a Virtual Environment**:
```bash
python3 -m venv nostr-env
source nostr-env/bin/activate
```
2. **Install `nestr`**:
```bash
pip install nestr
```
3. **Run the Relay**:
```bash
nestr --port 4433
```
- You might need to configure SSL for secure connections (Port 443).
**Go Example Using `nostrd`:**
1. **Install Go** (if not installed):
Follow instructions from [the official Go
website](https://golang.org/doc/install).
2. **Clone the Repository**:
```bash
go get github.com/nostrapps/nostrd/cmd/nostrd
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/nostrapps/nostrd
```
3. **Build and Run**:
```bash
make build
./nostrd --port 4433
```
- Again, consider configuring SSL for security.
#### 4. Configure Firewall
Ensure your firewall allows incoming connections on the relay's port
(e.g., 4433).
```bash
sudo ufw allow 4433/tcp
```
#### 5. Optional: Set Up a Domain and SSL Certificate
1. **Point Your Domain**: Update DNS settings to point your domain to the
server’s IP.
2. **Install Certbot for SSL**:
```bash
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
```
3. **Obtain an SSL Certificate**:
```bash
sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com
```
Adjust your relay configuration to use HTTPS.
#### 6. Maintain Your Relay
1. **Monitor Logs**: Regularly check logs for any issues.
2. **Keep Software Updated**: Update dependencies and the OS as needed.
3. **Backup Configuration**: Keep backups of your configurations and data.
### Additional Tips
- **Community Engagement**: Join Nostr forums or communities to stay
updated on best practices.
- **Security**: Consider implementing rate limiting and other security
measures to protect your relay from abuse.
By following these steps, you should be able to set up a functional Nostr
relay. Be sure to review the specific documentation of any libraries or
tools you use for more detailed instructions and configurations.

3. **NPM Packages**: Use `ws` for WebSocket server, and optionally
`dotenv` to manage environment variables.
### Step-by-Step Guide
#### 1. Set Up Your Project
First, create a new directory for your project and initialize it with npm:
```bash
mkdir nostr-relay-ts
cd nostr-relay-ts
npm init -y
```
Install the necessary packages:
```bash
npm install ws dotenv
npm install --save-dev typescript @types/node ts-node
```
Create a `tsconfig.json` file for TypeScript configuration:
```json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "ESNext",
"module": "commonjs",
"outDir": "./dist",
"rootDir": "./src",
"strict": true,
"esModuleInterop": true,
"skipLibCheck": true
}
}
```
#### 2. Write the Relay Code
Create a `src` directory and add an `index.ts` file:
```bash
mkdir src
touch src/index.ts
```
Add the following code to `src/index.ts`:
```typescript
import WebSocket, { Server as WebSocketServer } from 'ws';
import dotenv from 'dotenv';
dotenv.config();
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 4433;
// Function to handle incoming messages
function handleMessage(ws: WebSocket, message: string) {
console.log('Received:', message);
// Basic processing of Nostr events (e.g., parsing JSON)
try {
const event = JSON.parse(message);
// Here you can add logic for different types of Nostr events
// Echo the event back to the client
ws.send(JSON.stringify(event));
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error processing message:', error);
}
}
// WebSocket server setup
const wss = new WebSocketServer({ port: PORT });
wss.on('connection', (ws: WebSocket) => {
console.log('Client connected');
// Handle incoming messages from clients
ws.on('message', (data: string) => handleMessage(ws, data));
// Handle client disconnections
ws.on('close', () => console.log('Client disconnected'));
});
console.log(`Nostr relay running on port ${PORT}`);
```
#### 3. Compile and Run Your Relay
Add a script to your `package.json` to compile TypeScript:
```json
"scripts": {
"build": "tsc",
"start": "ts-node src/index.ts"
}
```
Compile the TypeScript code (optional, if you want to run compiled
JavaScript):
```bash
npm run build
```
Start the relay using `ts-node` for development convenience:
```bash
npm start
```
### Explanation
- **WebSocket Server**: The server listens on a specified port and handles
incoming WebSocket connections.
- **Message Handling**: When a message is received, it's logged to the
console. You can extend this part to handle different types of Nostr
events according to your needs.
- **Echoing Messages**: For simplicity, this example echoes back any
received messages.
### Next Steps
1. **Security**: Implement authentication and encryption (e.g., WSS/SSL)
for secure communication.
2. **Persistence**: Consider storing events in a database for
replayability or analytics.
3. **Advanced Features**: Add support for Nostr's full feature set,
including subscribing to specific event types or handling private
messages.
This basic implementation provides a foundation for building a more robust
Nostr relay in TypeScript. You can expand it by integrating additional
features and optimizations based on your requirements.
A trade deficit with China means freshly created US dollars go to China while real goods and services go to the US. The dollars eventually come back to buy real goods and services from the US. Ultimately, it is real goods and services that US people owe Chinese people after a long trade deficit. Perhaps that means selling university educations. Perhaps that means selling farmland. People seem to be pushing back on some of these sales indicating they may not have wanted to have to give goods and services later for goods and services earlier. Or maybe they're hypocrites. There does not need to be a conflict about it, as you correctly allude. But a persistent net trade deficit when considering all trade is probably not a natural phenomenon and could lead to a shock later when the inflated dollars come home.
You are right that tariffs are bad for everybody. It is strange that so many countries use them.

IMO the major flaw in democracy is .. complexity creep.
I'd say it is a root issue out of which several other issues arise. Make the banking system complex and you'll get a large proportion of people/voters, who can't be expected to understand the principles of it. Now if many voters don't understand the basic principles of something, politicians / rich individuals / large corporations can come up with intentionally (or unintentionally) wrong explanations of the system .. which allows them to exploit those people who don't understand the system.
You're not running on BTRFS, are you? If yes, then you can manually create/restore snapshots.
About the "1,000 Days Until AI Takes Over with Daniel Priestley - PMQ046" episode.
Great episode. Really interesting to think about.
https://mrobnoxious.libsyn.com/1000-days-until-ai-takes-over-with-daniel-priestley-pmq046
Priestley vastly underestimates the importance of physical stuff as it seems to me.
As I understand what he says, he basically claims that the industrial sector has lost a big part of its importance for human prospering and that the great abundance of the future will come mostly through AI.
I couldn't disagree more.
Sure, digital technology has brought totally awesome things in regards to information and entertainment.
People who buy into AI revolutionizing the world will think I'm just dumb / narrow minded for writing this. But IMO the potential for future paradigm shifts originating from the digital space is very limited.
90 % of the big digital concepts/inventions that enable what humans find useful in the digital world have already been invented.
One of the few things that are left and which will soon be available, is an actual PDA (personal digital assistant/advisor) that will guide people through their lives.
Inventions aren't an infinite space.
But with all the digital wonders that he claims the future holds, physical things will still be as important as they are now. There are few people on the planet who go about their lives without directly or indirectly using hundreds/thousands of physical items and surrounding themselves with literal tons of materials.
Theory: Priestley may have lost touch with the fact that physical stuff and basic industries churning out materials are essential to his existence because material cycles to a large extent happen in unsexy box shaped buildings in commercial areas where they can easily be ignored if one focuses on the digital world.
Yeah, AI may well become more important within the next 1000 days. But in no way at all will it "take over" or become the most important technology that all our lives will revolve around.
If anything, people will value primitive non-digital entertainment more over time, because the digital world is just bland in comparison to the analogue.
Physical things will always be scarce and people will always care about and compete for them.
Also: his analogy with people who use AI to boost their business/work being equivalent to drivers of a car racing against marathon runners (those who don't use AI for their work) .. that's totally off. Everyone could just drive a car, entirely possible. But for many jobs, AI doesn't do much to boost productivity, if at all. It just wouldn't make sense for everyone to look for a job that could leverage AI.
The reason Priestley can get ahead and boost his productivity using AI is just that he chose a job that allows for it. He didn't jump in the car to drive to win the marathon. He got the opportunity to jump into the F1 car and did and now he's one of the few who can make nice money with it.
Not sure, what you mean by "takes the snapshot from zero".
Do you have different subvolumes defined (and mounted) in your BTRFS filesystem for / and /home (plus maybe some more)?
Creating a ro snapshot of a subvolume should be instant. Only if you want to send/receive it somewhere else, should it take time (depending upon the amount of data to be transferred).

Thanks for this. I'm a fan of Max's chatter.

I like to sit next to a person and ask: i heard you are interested in this and that, Tell me everything about it, and then sit there and listen for 2 hours.
It’s free, usually interesting, and shows interest in what the other person has to say. You also learn about who they are in between the lines.
We all are at some point of live , sometimes we are not even the cause 😎😝 understanding things is growth :-)
Nice. Your lifestyle now looks quite healthy 👍🏻

STRABO ON THE MAURI
“Here dwell a people whom the Greeks call Maurusians, and the Romans and the natives Mauri — a large and prosperous Libyan tribe, who live on the side of the strait opposite Iberia.” (Mauretania, Morocco).
“However, it is agreed by all that Maurusia is a fertile country, except a small desert part, and is supplied with both lakes and rivers. It is surpassing in the size and in the number of its trees, and is also productive of everything; at any rate, this is the country which supplies the Romans with the tables that are made of one single piece of wood, very large and most variegated.”
“Now a little before my time the kings of the house of Bogus and of Bocchus, who were friends of the Romans, possessed the country, but when these died Juba succeeded to the throne, Augustus Caesar having given him this in addition to his father's empire. He was the son of the Juba who with Scipio waged war against the deified Caesar. Now Juba died lately, but his son Ptolemy, whose mother was the daughter of Antony and Cleopatra, has succeeded to the throne.”

Just set it up. Just been lurking on Nostr but man if I could build a community on Nostr and leave Twitter I would in a heart beat. That place is an absolute time and soul sucker.
