GM.
You might be interested to know I've been building an open source auditable voting system that uses Nostr for the transport layer and blind signed ballots (a la Cashu) for anonymous voting.
It was used last Monday for the first time in a real democratic process: a Green Party AGM in London. Github page publicly auditable results here https://tidley.github.io/auditable-voting/?role=auditor&q=q_70201bbedaf5

Duno what your thoughts are on ecash but that can operate offline.
Also I've started to see the phrase "local-first software", which I guess is kinda like sourcing food locally but for digital services. So servers and data are hosted by regions for local residents. Like distributed intranets.

Nostr clients could implement a filter for bots, some opt in thing where bots indicate they're AI using kind 1 data so it's easier to filter their responses out if chosen.

Big update for Pushstr - security and privacy focused DM client for mobile and browser extension.
- DMs and encrypted attachments sendable between browser extension, mobile app and now compatible with other Nostr clients such as Amethyst.
- nip17 by default with legacy nip04 support, selectable on a per-message basis.
- lots of UI tweaks.

In short, yes, go for it.
Hopefully that case has the right electronics in to prevent discharging when the panel is outputting less than 5V (which it will most of the time unless in direct sunlight, which is few and far between these days).
Might be worth getting a higher voltage panel (what's the input range of the charger? Or does it just say "USB"?) to account for less than ideal conditions.
Else you might have to get a shotkey diode to prevent discharging, but they're very cheap and very simple to wire in series if you own a soldering iron.

Working on an ultra-minimal control plane for self-hosted / private networks:
#WireGuard for all data transport, #Nostr used only for encrypted coordination.
Nostr handles hub discovery, peer enrolment, revocation, and key rotation when a VPS disappears or is rebuilt... no DNS, no fixed endpoints, no single point of failure.
Single pinned authority pubkey, anti-rollback, atomic A/B hub cutover with verification before disengaging the old hub.
Result: private services stay private, access survives VPS failure, and the “control plane” is more resilient than any single (or multi) VPS setup.

On the same quest. Started using a $5/month VPS to act as a proxy for all my home server traffic to protect my public IP, then using Wireguard on top to let me access these services securely from anywhere from my laptop (Proxmox, Alby, BTC Nodes, Jellyfin, developer environments...)
Today's task is to get a regular backup of all my critical data going.

It's not listed on my relays in Amethyst so I don't know how I'm doing that.
It also reposts message I boost, which I don't think is kind 1? Might be wrong there. Either way I haven't added it as a relay on this client.
Might be what @nprofile…lgxk suggests.

2025-12-19 11:35:03 UTC

Yeah it's the mirroring of all my activity that's not necessary, I showed my notifications above in the screenshot, it's just copies of messages or copies of boosts etc.
It's not on my relay list, I only ever used it via cli in order to send directly to it.
Currently I can't stop it unless I block it, which is why it feels spammy.

If I only have a link via the bitsatrelay satellite then it must be able to know I'm communicating with it directly, or if not, having an @ tag in the message to indicate that re-relaying it is requested.

If you can prevent if from rebroadcasts unless requested then it would help. I get notifications about messages I've sent that it's rebroadcast and it's duplicating messages inline to the chat.
