I want a desktop or web ui client for when I'm on desktop. I selfhost a relay, I would like the client to use that host to pull from the nostr network as I dont want my home IP to leak at some point incase I skip vpn etc #asknostr

I use something similar : "Assess how you did, with what you know now, if you were to repeat this what would you change or do differently." Sometimes I think, why didn't you do that in the firstplace 😁. Also getting it to save those bits of feedback that make sense. I'll try your method next time.

Opus figured out a nixos issue I was having for ages. Sonnet did well but Opus was able to get the final part relatively quickly. Now I got a sweet luks/btrfs/impermanence setup. Initially wanted to go this route to force myself to keep track of my desktop and various settings, plus to encourage backing up. I don't know if I'll use it as a daily driver but it is quite tidy so far. #nixos #claude

Locked myself out of a a server, no fallback, rookie mistake. Spent rest of day fixing up ansible playbooks so I don't have to care about that. Wipe and start again. Not using contaners due to hardware constraints and heterogeneous boxes rules out easy nixos usage, so ansible it is.

Those numbers make sense. On twitter I follow up towards 1000 people and even then sometimes content in my follows (not fyp) can seem stale. Nostr is quite stale. Content is better on the fediverse even (bigger numbers & differentiated ). I like nostr because I like the tech and philosophy that the tech brings. People are chill. I'm not even into crypto much at all. So being part of the problem I'll have to address is posting more content other than my news bots lol. I'm working on a project which I plan to use nostr as the identity layer for and would hate to see it drop off the face of the earth.

Trailing n month window, whatever is sustainable. Most of my usage is weighted towards the more recent. Perhaps volunteers can pull off a fixed amount that fall outside that window (fixed so they know how much it'll cost etc). Then users want historical search for that time they can be pointed that way. Not clean but maybe doable.

So I write to the outbox, people use that to read my notes. I read notes tagged with me on the inbox? The reason why this confuses me is I have my own personal array which seems to never show my notes as above.

Brilliant work!
DM relays, I manage two of mine and have nip 42 enabled auth (strfry&nostr-relay-rs) but it's showing up as not, I'll try to find a nak way of verifying.
If it could add an explainer or best practices for inbox/outbox so I could finally understand which one is read/write 😭

Sounds very cool. Especially the duplication with different outer envelope plus ongoing verification.
I have a few servers for the rest of the month at least so give me a shout if you need additional hardware (storage for demo etc).
Was working on a DVM yesterday for personalized for you page functionality (WIP ofc), so maybe crossing wires here due to familiarity but I wonder if they could be combined with blossom. Events can be encrypted, payment can be required, feedback may be useful:
"Service providers can give feedback about a job back to the customer."
- Customer publishes a job request (e.g. kind:5000 speech-to-text).
- Service Providers MAY submit kind:7000 job-feedback events (e.g. payment-required, processing, error, etc.).
- Upon completion, the service provider publishes the result of the job with a kind:6000 job-result event.
- At any point, if there is an amount pending to be paid as instructed by the service provider, the user can pay the included bolt11 or zap the job result event the service provider has sent to the user.

How many agents are you usually working with? I have only ever used the latest Claude sonnet and chatgpt models. Claude seems to attempt to one shot everything, usually successfully, a tip I use is to ask it to reflect and give itself feedback. Chatgpt constantly asks questions, overly clarifying things too much at times but decent code too. I sometimes forget the other has finished and feel bad for leaving it out 😭

Bingo plus training data. I can sit in my pajamas and scrape millions of repos/issue trackers/discussions/specs/books (prior to a cut off date - call it the AI epoch lol). All that work and time spent is recorded in text. Can't think of any other role like that, so first to marketbfor software agents is obviously so much quicker vs robots. Plus robots will be liable for physical injury to other things and humans, but are subjected to being easily stolen/injured etc. Waymo on fire! A clean data center no physical body or movement vs physical body in a messy unpredictable city.

2026-03-10 11:00:05 UTC

Depends, I just think it'll change the median role. perhaps it'll be more as a soft architect and reviewer. Remember there always needs to be someone liable e.g. to blame, and I don't think Anthropic or OpenAI care to assume that role. So it'll likely morph into a "software orchestrator" role. Not writing code but in control of what is executed and liable for it.
