Okay, some full-text search indexes are still building, but the **canonical wiki and publication data** from Wikipedia, Open Library, and Project Gutenberg should be online again, have correct and complete tags, and be easy to filter.
The dataset is on wss://mercury-relay.imwald.eu/relay/ and available over the REST API on https://mercury-relay.imwald.eu/
I updated https://jumble.imwald.eu/library to take advantage of the new filters. Performance is much better, now. I'll keep juicing that up, and then I'll move the update onto an #Alexandria web client rework.
It's taken months to get to this point, but we made it.

I'm currently completely republishing all of the:
* Project Gutenberg books (kind 30040 publications with 30041 sections),
* Open Library cards (kind 30040 with no sections),
* and Wikipedia pages (kind 30818 Asciidoc).
Already spot-tested and the new tags and tables give relays much better performance. The Mercury relay will be offline for a few more hours due to the import and reindexing, but then it should be zoom, zoom, zoom.
TheCitadel relay is also uploading them, and some other relays, and I will be broadcasting.
Took me forever to get the parsers right and setup a monthly pipeline to deliver the deltas from the canonical dumps. If monthly goes smoothly, I can switch to weely.

If they're using Nostr, then they're on Nostr, tho. They just aren't using the same relays we are. But I also use relays nobody else knows about.
Most Nostr traffic probably isn't on these relays, anymore, which is fine by me. Decentralization good.

Nostr can be an odd place to be, if you come from a safety-critical background, like aerospace, medical systems, power generation, defense, agriculture, or automotive.
Random thought triggered by absolutely nothing in my feed.

New #Alexandria publishing round ongoing.
* `created_at` time stamps will be staggered
* `source` will become `s`
* wiki and publication events will gain an `i` tag, analog to open library
* publication sections will gain a `T` tag
* subtititles / original titles will be in an additional `T` tag.
* indexes will be revamped
* Imwald and Mercury clients will be updated
I will be taking the relay down, for a time, to do this. I apologize for any inconvenience.

It builds better than I can and it verifies better than I can, but I am still the main validator. There's maybe too much space between what I want it to finally do, as a feature, and how exactly I can describe it. Always end up with a bit of ping-pong, at the end, that I don't have with human devs because they share some intuitive understanding of what I would expect.

2026-08-11 13:15:26 UTC

- reply

Yes, but it sometimes glosses over failures. I have to point it out and then it's like, Oh, right, that isn't how we originally described it.
Or I give it 15 points and it does 1-4, 6-9, 10-15. Have to have it go back and review a few times, sometimes switching models, to get full and complete and correct coverage.

2026-08-11 12:28:57 UTC

They did it so that they could read the messages on their server. I have always assumed that they work for Russia or France, or something, as it just reeks of something a nation-state would like.
Telegram is encrypted to-and-from their server, but not E2E. Even the explicit E2E secret chats aren't TLS, they use their own weird protocol.
No, this has not been improved. Signal or other MLS-style messengers are much better.

But if Big Nostr purchases all of the developers, then it's still effectively only Jack+Odell owning all of the competing projects, so there's a cartel-duopoly.
Even some of the ostensibly independent Nostr projects are trying to get grants from them. They are all one company.

I also have a Ledger Nano S. I just never touch it. Was thinking of adding a BitBox or a Trezor to my collection and stacking onto there, in the future. I don't know. I'm a bit sceptical. Tempted to just use Electrum on a cheap, wiped Linux machine.
Of course, I don't have much Bitcoin. That's my smallest asset. Was hoping it would rise in price and become the biggest.

2026-08-02 19:23:22 UTC

My main problem with hardware wallets is the social risk. If you order one, everyone knows you have put crypto on it. An old laptop, tablet, or cell phone is just an old, general-purpose computer. Biggest risk is that someone throws it away.
