Last Notes npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew @npub1hu3…h8nh this another impersonater? https://bsky.app/profile/carlabtc.bsky.social npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew that’s exactly my point, it’s important to expand on things like NIP-65 to efficiently distribute content across many smaller relays. As it currently stands, the way apps find content across relays doesnt even fully make use of NIP-65, especially big apps like @nprofile…a660 that still haven’t prioritized that at all. npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew Well that was always something the nostr protocol was going to have to handle if its supposed to be a true alternative to Twitter. If the protocol can't scale to that size without a few massive relays doing all the work, then it's Bluesky with extra steps and a muuuuuuuuch shittier UX. That means it's not a serious global social network IMO, moreso one for niche communities only, just like Mastodon is looking to be. npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew whys that? npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew and Bluesky profiles are bridged here using @npub1d03…pzfs like so: @nprofile…gyjc npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew Nostr profiles are already being bridged over to Bluesky, for example: https://bsky.app/profile/npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240.momostr.pink.ap.brid.gy npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew the relays host the archives npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew In light of recent events with Internet Archive, I figured we could really use a decentralized Internet Archive to have a resilient backup.

Another example: A big reason for the insane traffic in Cairo and Alexandria is that their transit systems are nowhere near extensive enough for the population size. With all the money being spent building new cities from scratch, some of that must be spent to vastly expand metro systems in both. To put it into context: Cairo metropolitan area and NYC metropolitan area have about the same population size of about 22 million. NYC metro area has: - Largest subway system in the world with 472 stations and 36 lines. - LIRR commuter rail to the Long Island suburbs with 11 lines and 126 stations - Metro North commuter rail with 5 lines and 124 stations - NJ Transit commuter rail with 12 lines and 165 stations Cairo metropolitan area has: - Cairo Metro with 3 lines and 84 stations …you can see where the traffic comes from npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew https://open.spotify.com/track/1G1kKHczSz6Xqv5dCmtkL4?si=8b499f9377f249dc This is a BOP, has me goin like https://media.tenor.com/McEKHo4Ou-0AAAAC/daryoush-dance.gif npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew Was refreshing my memory on the "SOLID" programming principles for interviews, when I realized that the Robert C Martin who developed these principles is none other than @npub19mu…jnft ! npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew https://www.pacaso.com/blog/Pacaso-YIMBY-report npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew @npub1q3s…d26p I'm getting a timeout when I try to log in to ditto.pub from Mastodon clients using nsec.app as the bunker provider. npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew and this is her Bluesky that she kinda uses: https://bsky.app/profile/klong.bsky.social npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew You know what though, Giovanni is a badass name, so fuck em! #note1rny…a58f npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew How about OpSoc for Open Social protocols, or this? nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpyf5phpfp3l5t62whhwru8ss5yqnt3ve7ff5l25tn5r7l4gj4jtaqqs98a28pn2t2rxdqeanrv9ma0mqwddn6mmue6vv9h8e05hdmmaxnhs59jvty npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew How does @npub16he…z8zz perform on that computer? npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew @npub1nlk…jm9c https://wikifreedia.xyz/ npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew It's very different from full blown conscription, let's not fearmonger with misleading BS: "Under the plan, a small minority of 18-year-olds — 30,000 out of an estimated 700,000 — would spend 12 months in the military, working in areas such as logistics or cyber defense.

Messages and content are synced between devices using IPFS/OrbitDB and connects made through Tor. I made a Nostr community on it as an alternative to using Discord for Nostr dev discussions: https://tryquiet.org/join#QmTKmdzHG4S7QfTEXY1awK8jC136cjQGzmo9V5goUuDHnN=zf7fjrtwejtmx2tgpfw2moo2vftrinqnapk275nwc3n5xmntinwffdad&k=8kUpddb3u8vZ8p0AzZRXn%2FTkwXIbi1ctbj8D5Q3D1d4%3D&o=03027974a60f062ba4ac1f9e3f5337eca1dfffacdc3eb3ac88b384f04311e8f792 #nevent1q…y7xm npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew ah i see what you’re talking about, thanks for the heads up npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew Hmm what do you see when you go to it? npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew Was thinking about this the other day, and it inspired me to start working on what I call VibeTag. The idea behind it is to be able to tag any content on the internet with a “vibe”/“sentiment”, whether it’s a nostr post, something on Mastodon, Twitter, even entire websites. This will initially focus on whether the sentiment of the content is positive (informative, funny, etc) or negative (misleading, rage-bait, vulgar in general) etc. As more and more content is tagged in either direction, it learns what words/phrases are associated with positive content vs negative. The tags and info about associated content would be synced across content through the beauty of Nostr relays. This essentially allows there to be a straightforward algorithm that you can take with you across the internet that automatically generates/updates a list of words associated with shitty content and hides it from view. This is something I’ll be integrating into @npub16he…z8zz but also will be a library anyone can integrate into their project! #note19al…8rr6 npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew Hmmm I find this part the most intriguing: "Syncing: IPFS and OrbitDB, an IPFS-based CRDT, ensure that all data (messages, user data, etc) syncs between peers with eventual consistency. Asynchronous messaging: because messages sync to all members, members can communicate without being contemporaneously online, provided that there is "continuous liveness", a continuous chain of online peers who each sync the latest updates, between the sender and the recipient." This kind of sounds like how Scuttlebutt works, but using IPFS+OrbitDB so perhaps the performance would be much better? npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew > By the time you get hold of NIPs and get busy developing your app, either new NIPs come out or previous implementations change without any major announcements.

That’s why i think if this sort of thing is implemented, it should be in the form of specialized relays that accept file blobs, that way it can be an explicit decision of whether or not to accept those kinds of events. npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew What ever happened to these discussions around storing files directly on relays (those who choose to accept file upload events)? @npub180c…h6w6 @npub1xts…kk5s @npub1gcx…nj5z @npub1acg…p35c @npub1l56…9sza @npub1226…grkj @npub1skf…xa7d @npub1jlr…ynqn https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/719 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/345 npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew Which sites? npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew What about NIP-97?

Those obsessed with performance/speed/data usage and they believe centralization is the only way to do that. 2. Those who don’t fully understand how outbox/gossip works and they think it means clients will randomly pick which relays their posts are sent to npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew Blown away by how fast @npub1wyu…87ez is compared to other web clients and even many native iOS/Android clients. @npub1ye5…knpr you are a wizard npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew fapped npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew That's God having a sense of humor :) npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew > new protocol to make decentralized image/ file sharing better @npub1ye5…knpr I want to learn more!! npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew Honored to be on this list, and @npub1pvg…dx8c herself should be on it b/c of the awesome job she does finding interesting people/content on Nostr! #note1zt2…vl7d npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew Well well well, we've now got 2 U.S. Presidents on the Nostr/Fediverse @npub16mv…jn9m @npub1wx6…558r npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew "The DOJ is looking into the possibility that RealPage is facilitating price-fixing among some of the large residential property owners and management firms that use the company’s product" Get those bastards! #nevent1q…a8er npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew It would be an honor to be a blockhead myself npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew @npub12e8…re7a use one of these nostr clients that support NIP-65/Gossip and you'll have a better experience with small relays, because they can intelligently find the relays that contain the missing pieces from profile info, notes, etc. Nostrudel: https://nostrudel.ninja Snort: https://snort.social Iris: https://iris.to Coracle: https://coracle.social They're all Progressive Web Apps, which means you can install them on your phone to behave like a regular app. npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te Andrew Those checklists are better suited for the first time opening the app, and for nudging the user when a new event happens, push notifications catch their attention better than their cluttered email inbox.
