Made my website prettier.
Here is a link, and it is a good time to talk about this particular link: https://15.235.3.231
You will notice that it is just an IPv4 address, but that it is using https. Also behind the scenes this IPv4 address is approved by a certificate authority.
What this means is that when your browser goes to this site it should open the site without any warnings.
This wasn't something that was always easy to do in a way that the typical browser will like.
When you rent or put a computer online you get an IP address, and you can put up http://15.235.3.231 right away. It will work, but the typical browser will throw a hissy-fit and scare off 90% of the normies out there. Also having encryption on your connections is a nice thing to have.
Well the Electronic Frontier Foundation has just recently made it much easier to have a website with a certificate for an IPv4 or IPv6 address. If you're interested in more detail, here is a good place to start:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/certbot-and-lets-encrypt-now-support-ip-address-certificates
My personal goal is to try to be as sovereign as possible. While using IPv4 and IPv6 is not as sovereign as using TOR or FIPS, it is a great intermidate step. Not only do you not have to get permission to rent a domain name, the site ends up being faster and more private because the user doesn't have to access the DNS system in order to access your site.
It would be nice to see many more relays on nostr using wss with an IP address. It is a great use case, without much hassle.
Here are my other links to the same page which include even more sovereign means.

To say that this is hard to think about is an understatement. I had that belief as well, where now I honestly don't know.
Let me give you somewhat of a counter argument.
There are "emergent" phenomena that don't appear dependent on lower levels of explanation. They appear at higher levels of explanation.
For example, you take two atoms and bump them into each other. They follow deterministic dynamical laws. Fancy way of saying they are like billiard balls on a table. You send them in a particular path, they bump, and will follow a particular path out. The path out depends on the path in.
If you took a film of the two atoms bouncing off each other, and reversed it, you could not tell which film is the forward film and which is the reverse. The laws of motion are symmetric. There is no way to distinguish between the two. You can not see the direction of time in the film.
Great.
But now take a whole bunch of these atoms and put them together, and somehow the second law of thermodynamics emerges. Overall, entropy increases for all these atoms over time. That means that if you take a film of all these atoms, you can tell which way is forward in time and which way is backward. You see an egg break and you know that is forward in time. See an egg come together, and the film is running in reverse. Zoom into the individual atoms of the egg, and you can't see it.
The second law of thermodynamics is an emergent phenomena. You look at deterministic laws of motion of atoms and you don't see it. Put a bunch of deterministic atoms together and it appears.
It is possible that "free will" is like that. That even though the atoms bump around deterministically, free will appears as an emergent phenomena.

"So you are telling me, that we actually live in a multiverse, and that all of 'this' is just one universe and there are many parallel universes with copies of me in them? That's insane. How can you believe such a thing?"
I get it. I totally get it. It is kind of insane. But consider for a second the alternative.
Picture young Laan in Quantum Physics I discussing Schrodinger's Cat https://grokipedia.com/page/Schr%C3%B6dinger's_cat.
[professor] So the cat is neither alive or dead in the box, but is in a superposition of both alive and dead states.
[young laan] What does superposition mean?
[professor] It means the cat is neither in an alive state or a dead state, but in a superposition of each.
[young laan thinks prof is just repeating himself] I still have no idea what a superposition of a cat means. I mean the atoms of the cat are still in the box correct?
[professor] Yes.
[young laan] So the heart atoms of the cat are still there, they are either pulsing or they aren't, right?
[professor] They are in a superposition of both.
[young laan] And you're saying that if I peek into the box, I can't see this superposition of the cat, because somehow as soon as I peek, every atom knows I am peeking and this superposition goes away, and the cat becomes either dead or alive.
[professor] Correct.
[young laan] Well how do we know that this superposition even exists if we can't ever see it.
[professor] {crickets}
[young laan] If a frog looks, does the cat collapse into dead or alive states? A mosquito? A virus? If we put a camera in there, and have it take a picture, do the atoms of the film show a dead or alive cat.
[professor] If you put a camera in there, then it becomes "engangled" with the cat and it also becomes a superposition of states.
[young laan] And so there is no way to observe a "superposition", or even ask questions about it. It is fundamentally unknowable?
[professor] Correct.
[young laan] [[thinks this is bullshit]]
So imagine my relief when I discovered the "many worlds" explanation. In some universes the radioactive atom decays, and in those universes the cat is dead, and in the other universes the cat is alive.
Yeah, that is extremely unintuitive, but at least we are allowed to think again. I can understand a universe with a dead cat, and a universe with an alive cat. Things aren't changing because I look their way. There are not "forbidden questions" in this explanation. It's not religion, it is science again.
In science we don't (or at least shouldn't) judge explanations by themselves. We are always comparing them. Which is the better of the explanations that we have? We go with the best one, and "There are many universes out there" is the best explanation we have.
P.S. Einstein intuited that superposition was bullshit as well.

Randomness doesn't exist. @npub1v0l…qj49 is correct.
#nevent1q…vm2m
Every possible outcome of a quantum mechanical state "evolves continuously and deterministically" in some universe, so every universe is deterministic.
Instead of thinking about random events, it helps me to think about some events as being inherently unpredictable. I replace the word "random" with "unpredictable".
Every possible thing happens to me in some universe, but I can't know which universe I am in and where I am going.
From my perspective some things seem inherently random, but it is just me not being able to know which universe I am in.
If Schrodinger's Cat ever seemed mysterious or unsatisfying to you, this is the solution. The cat isn't in some weird "superposition" of dead and alive at the same time in the box. The cat is actually either dead or alive in there, but until you open the box, you don't and can't know if you are in one of the "cat is dead" universes or you are in one of the "cat is alive" universes.
If you want to understand this better, drop this paper in your favorite LLM, and have a discussion about it.

My agent's analysis. FYI, I was previously calling this "reckless browser"
Tauri Evaluation: Rejected — does not fit the reckless browser
I evaluated Tauri against the reckless browser's requirements and documented the findings in a new "Considered and rejected" section in plans/options.md.
What Tauri is
A framework for building desktop apps with a web frontend (HTML/CSS/JS in the system webview) and a Rust backend, communicating via Tauri's IPC layer. On Linux it uses WebKitGTK under the hood via the wry crate.
Why it doesn't fit (fundamental mismatches, not fixable)
Language mismatch — Rust vs. C99. The entire architecture is C99: the host, the didactyl integration (C, in-process), and the n_signer integration (C API via nostr_core_lib, direct link). Tauri forces a Rust host, requiring FFI shims at every integration point for zero benefit.
Security model is the opposite of what we need. Tauri is designed to be secure — CSP enforcement, IPC isolation, capability-scoped commands. The reckless browser's premise is stripping web security (CORS, same-origin, TLS cert enforcement, cookie sandboxing). Tauri doesn't expose the low-level WebKitGTK settings needed to do this.
Tauri abstracts away the exact APIs the project depends on. The POC and plans require direct access to webkit_web_context_register_uri_scheme() (FIPS routing), WebKitUserContentManager + JSC (window.nostr injection), webkit_web_context_allow_tls_certificate_for_host() (cert stripping), shared WebKitWebContext (cross-origin identity), and webkit_web_view_load_html() (the browser_render agent tool). Tauri's wry crate hides these — you'd have to fork/patch wry, at which point you're just using WebKitGTK with extra steps.
Tauri builds apps, not browsers. In Tauri, the webview renders your app's bundled frontend. In the reckless browser, the webview loads arbitrary URLs from the internet — it is the browser content area.
Agent architecture is incompatible. The didactyl integration requires multiple webviews managed directly by the C host, window.agent.tools.* injected as native C functions, and browser_render loading agent-authored HTML/JS into named windows. Tauri's model (one webview, Rust backend, IPC commands) has no concept of this.
The POC already proved the right path. WebKitGTK + C99: 17 KB binary, 130 lines of C, real site loaded in under an hour. Tauri would add a Rust framework layer on top of the same WebKitGTK, removing control and adding complexity.
Bottom line
Tauri is the wrong tool — it's a framework for building secure desktop apps with web frontends, not a framework for building a browser that strips security and needs low-level webview control. If a Rust host were ever desired, Servo (Option C) is the purpose-built alternative. Tauri is neither a browser engine nor a C99-friendly embedding path. The decision to use WebKitGTK + C99 (Path A) stands.

I mean, why not have 20 different projects in various stages of completion, instead of finishing one at a time?
"They all work together" I say to myself.
# sovereign_browser
A Linux x86 web browser built in C99 on WebKitGTK, designed around **sovereign identity** instead of the traditional web's permissioned infrastructure.
The thesis: the browser's security model (DNS/domains, TLS/CAs, same-origin policy, CORS, cookie sandboxing) is what forces you to rely on permissioned domains, certificate authorities, and centralized account systems. By deprecating that model and replacing it with **Nostr identity** and **FIPS
mesh transport**, you get a browser that's more capable, not less safe — because trust moves to the layer where it belongs: your keys.

WE ARE ALL WITCHES!
I guess then witches aren't that special. I would look for a more exclusive coven.
