The EU is ruled by Nazi, only most still fails to understand such a simple historical fact.

As well as most still fail to understand that current "socialist" are as left wing as Hitler, wanting common stuff for the poor, meaning all impoverished citizens, the Hayekian breadcrumbs to avoid revolts, while for them private ownership of anything.

Unfortunately below a certain number of Citizens, slaves allow the dictator to rule. The only possible thing is separation, waiting for the slaves rage when they'll discover that owning nothing will not means being happy, and they'll see others living differently. That will be when their revolt begun, again, against the same ruling philosophy, and maybe this time we can manage to drive them eradicating the plant instead of cutting it and get it back stronger and stronger.

The problem is the classic knows your enemy. Most people fails to realize that the banksters on one side (politically labelling themselves as "left" while they are Nazi) and big tech on the other (generally labelled right, but they are indeed cleric-fascist) fight for the same power on the same masses, but their agendas aren't much different.

Mandatory logins through big tech serve the purpose to silence anyone they dislike and the end of open internet/open web, so they can control much more the narrative people feel every day.

It's just a part of a bigger scenario where "in 2030 you'll own nothing" meaning they count to own anything to re-create the perfect space they already have in workers of the UK enclosure's time.

The problem is that the value of a currency isn't in the coin itself but in the market that uses it; for now, BTC is being used, and that gives it value, but it's not used enough, so there's still a constant need for a currency exchange which, by going through the fiat world, cancels out the advantages of BTC, the case of Francesca Albanese, like Wikileaks, shows this clearly. Until even the supermarket accepts BTC, this problem will persist.

Me personally as a relatively old unix-er/emacs-er, with enough knowledge to understand but not really active in crypto development, a casual ex high school geek back then having minded something but then nearly nothing more, I mainly complaint the lack of design and documents.

In that case choose anyway at least south and west orientation, if you plan mostly direct usage (little to no storage) then prefer a classic string inverter, micro cut much on peak power, and DC inverters are less efficient. But consider anyway that even a small storage means you can keep your system running also in case of a blackout, which might be very valuable not only now but in the future as grids are more and more strained and so unstable

Personally, I'd recommend well over 6kWp. I've had a 5kWp/8kWh single-string south-facing setup for 6 years, and in the evening the air conditioning eats through the battery because there's still Sun, but it's too far west to reach the south panels. I'm expanding it for that reason too; I mainly need the power for the winters here (Alps) with few daylight hours, but even in sunny places, if the nights are hot and you need a/c at night, well... you need enough power to recharge about twenty kWh (from a battery with at least 30kWh capacity) on top of your daytime self-consumption.

Actually anyone is supposed (and maybe denied) to run their own relay so like in the nearly forgotten Usenet, groups keeps flowing, messages keep flowing, but individuals decide what to host, what to plonk (ban).

This is part of any large agorà, together with personal scoring, because when a gazillion of human write separate what you want is needed, you can't read thousands of messages.

The issue then lay just in IT ignorance where most do not run their own relay, and so Nostr network is divided in some large hub and many marginal relays.

Lightning network have a similar issue: running a personal node is hard so most don't and live on someone else computer.

In reply to nevent1q…kq0r
_________________________

I would be very careful about taking certain stories as gospel; they may or may not be true, but throughout history, most of the horrific crimes recounted by one side against another have almost always turned out to be completely fabricated or at least wildly exaggerated. Someone noticed this and observed, "kill 100 children and the world will be against you, kill 100 million and no one will say a thing because they won't believe it even in the face of evidence". The point is that there are limits to what can be known, and well, I take certain news with a pinch of salt.

In the UK, the ongoing social unrest isn't due to what the genuine participants (meaning those who aren't paid agitators) themselves believe, but simply to the draining of wealth towards the City, which has turned the UK into a third-world country for most people (not that they were rich in the past, it's not Italy, but they were certainly much less worse off at many points in history).

In the UK, British souls have always been at odds with Celtic ones, the Nazi kleptocracy at odds with the entire populace, and so on; in times of prosperity, everything is dormant because most people have full bellies and a roof over their heads, but in times of hardship, everything is amplified.

In particular, today there is a gloves-off fight between the US clerico-fascists and the demon-Nazis based in the City. Just as the BLM protests were likely pushed (not created; the underlying malaise is necessary for them to happen, but amplified and nurtured) by the demon-Nazis, it is likely that the current trends in the UK are being amplified by the clerico-fascists. In the meantime, the UK moves further into economic collapse for the majority while they are busy discussing other things; it generates World War III by plundering the EU with high-treason complicit governments, and the people think about other things, now it's Pakistani gangs, now it's the yacht seen being driven off with warning shots from a Russian naval unit. Anything to avoid talking about the fiscal robbery, the economic collapse, etc., of the masses.

I would focus on this. Stories of extreme youth distress are very common in countries with high inheritance theft, known as tax, like the UK, France, Belgium, and Spain, unlike Scandinavia, Italy, the Czech Republic, and others that either don't steal or steal very little. These are common stories in "collectivist" societies where the value of the family is diluted compared to that of society specifically to better rob the masses.

Meanwhile, I also suggest thinking about what difference there might be between the poor Pakistani criminal and the likes of Epstein, who does the same thing but with style. Which of the two makes more headlines? Which one is making more headlines right now? Why... In essence, they seem very similar to me on a substantive level for the victims. And yet, I didn't see much in the way of "protests" for the Epstein case in the streets...

Digital IDs actually are needed, the issue is which kind of IDs a State choose.

A distributed digital IDs with keys in a smart card, FLOSS on open hardware is good, a centrally managed one by private parties is just a suicide.

But in a digitalised world we need digital IDs anyway. Digital euro could actually be a good idea: central bank digital currency are the sole "real fiat money" as opposite to fractional reserve scriptural bank money, banks and fintech are worse than central banks for many aspects. Again the issue here is which kind of tech is chosen. In fiat term is better to depend on a central bank under the State then on private ones.

It's a more complex topic though because the main point is that a modern society need remote work, so desktops, homes with semi-autonomous power, sheds, not mobile to continuously moving between big buildings in dense areas. The gig economy need the very contrary: to push people owning nothing they need dense cities, large buildings, collective transport and so on, but that's against current tech evolution, so it will fail with much pain.

This simple phenomenon makes it easy to set up certain business models and, besides, the shift towards cloud+mobile, essentially modern mainframes + dumb terminals, serves perfectly to deny the average person "the power of the desktop" and, with it, personal ownership.

In reply to nevent1q…n8d0
_________________________

You need to define what being a sysadmin means. Imagine a distro like Umbrel, Start9, Univention, etc essentially a distro that serves a web app with a series of "pre-configured" services by default. Imagine it's not based on obsolete distros like Debian, but on declarative distros like NixOS, where devs don't fork but simply maintain the config with every update, giving users something that practically never breaks between releases.

Being a sysadmin in this case means knowing how to deploy a distro on a home server, basically a generic desktop computer recycled for this purpose, following a fairly trivial wizard, and using the services. If something goes wrong, there's the community to ask for a hand maybe with Nostr/WoT as comms and social score backbone + economic model behind.

The skills you need cut across every discipline; it's IT knowledge that even a greengrocer needs to have today.

The problem is that today's devs don't understand this; it's not their world because they haven't experienced real FLOSS. They were just born inside some giant company, using its services, without knowing anything else. This is why there's been a push to eliminate or marginalise Ops, and today, with LLMs, they're trying to marginalise devs, just as doctors are being marginalised while glorifying nurses, as "paramedics" etc. In other words, anyone with PERSONAL ability and PERSONAL culture is being crushed, because through these they build their PRIVATE property and aren't just a number, a stereotypical Ford-model worker to be managed on an assembly line, but a capable individual who stands on their own two feet.

You have every right, then, to complain about the state of complication rather than the complexity of modern software, but you also have the need to know just enough to be sovereign in society in your time. Otherwise, well, you can only be a slave, and even if that doesn't sound pleasant described so bluntly, it's necessary to digest it and choose.

Very true, but how many people actually have a home server? Because that’s the prerequisite we should all have, just as we should all have a domain name, IPv6 with a global per host, and a basic IT literacy that spans every discipline, yet is lacking in almost every discipline, often including PhDs in CS and CE.

Nowadays we write everything on computers, except perhaps for a few notes, but most people don't know how to typeset a decent document, they don't know how to generate a graph, do basic maths, or draw in a simple CAD or freehand style. In other words, most are incapable of communicating their thoughts using the tools of their time at the minimum level necessary to be defined as an "intellectual" or a "cultured person".

On the Bitcoin side, there's also a software problem: we need a single, trivial-to-deploy application that does everything, modular if you like, but unified and well-documented. Not Bitcoin Core and LND and Alby Hub and Zeus... we need to be able to say, "Want your own bank? Right, go install ... | cargo build ... | uv install ... and you've already got what you need; nix develop if you want, or check your distro's package manager, you don't need anything else. If you want, put NGINX in front of it, but it's not necessary, you're up and running with just this app. Go to [::1]:12345 and you've got the web UI with your on-chain addresses, you create a Lightning channel on the fly, manage its liquidity, and you've also got the documentation, links to mobile Lightning wallets, logs, etc. You also find a textual dump of the config to makes anything easy reproducible. You don't need anything other than to study this single, cross-platform, well-documented project". That’s how you spread it to the masses; as it stands today, it's beyond the level of effort even most nerds are willing to put in, so people end up on CExs and living on someone else's services.

There's Umbrel, Start9, etc which is good, but it's still not enough and it's lagging behind because the people behind these distros are stuck in a bygone era without realising it; they don't offer a solid enough foundation for the end user.

_________________________

A chopping board, cut at a sharp angle to get a useful shape and a good final surface, starting with a height of about 7cm using a chainsaw. Then, place it on a workbench and secure it by screwing it into the side. Set up two flat guides at the necessary height, and place a long enough board across them with a router mounted on top; use this to plane the rock-hard wood to a "mirror" finish. Once one side is done, flip it over and do the second. Use a chisel or the router itself to create a drip groove that ends in a drain at one end of the "ellipse".

Cut as shown in the photo, there isn't much else they can do. If you want, you can use wood carving discs (grinder discs, made like wood rasps for carving, dangerous to use, so be careful) to shape other things, for example, a stylised fruit bowl to be decorated later with a pyrography pen or chisel, but this requires much more skill than the chopping board and the practical daily use isn't great.

If there's still a long piece left and you like polenta, you can make a classic Italian "polenta stick", literally a stick about 80-90cm long, with a diameter that's comfortable to hold and a wider, flattened end. But carving it from a log requires a certain level of skill; you can even do it without a lathe by starting the cut with a chainsaw and then setting up a "DIY lathe" using a drill and a router. It's a long, frustrating job for a result that doesn't make much sense anymore now that we have self-stirring pots for polenta, but it can be done, just like you can make large kitchen spoons.

_________________________

Being technically decentralised doesn't make it practically so. The Web is technically a hypertext, running on a partially interconnected mesh network, yet nowadays the bulk of traffic flows between a handful of giant hubs, to the point where "marginal" social networks stay that way simply due to a lack of critical mass, and not having an account on some giant's servers is a communication problem for many. We have, and consider normal, major communication systems that only talk to themselves. XMPP is decentralised by design, yet when it was popular, Google was the main player and its changes were adopted even if they were unsuitable for most, simply because they were needed to interoperate with it. When Google abandoned it, the users vanished and XMPP essentially died, having become irrelevant.

To put it another way, yes, Nostr is decentralised by design, but this peculiar design makes it practically centralised, and it is, or rather will be in the future if it succeeds, a problem. Just see Primal as an example.

In reply to nevent1q…xnlw
_________________________

The problem I see is that messages aren't "evenly spread across the network" but are concentrated on a few relays, and it even happens that some replies only reach certain relays. The result is centralisation on the most popular relays.

The solution I see is the classic DHT, basically algorithmically spreading content across every node in the network, which will have storage and bandwidth quotas in its parameters. This leaves the administrator free to reject certain content or keep some in full, but fundamentally every message is split in chunks and some chunks are automatically spread across nodes. Historical examples include Usenet on one hand, as a decentralised paradigm, and eMule/KAD or ZeroNet for the distributed one.

The solution I see for further improvement is to not have "Nostr client only", but client+relay in a single package, with potential support for Tor or ZeroNet or something similar for those behind a NAT. Those with an exposed host can provide a way to punch through holes in NAT for those who don't, but basically every client is also a relay and blossom server.

I hope that's clearer now, and I don't see any bullshit or rudeness in what I'm writing. Meanwhile, as a fairly new user curious about Nostr and from the old-school *nix background, I see a tense community that's not very interested in the rest of the world, which isn't a good thing for achieving success.

pesa questo: serve, in una fase iniziale, pesa bene questo inciso, puntare al bipede medio, quello che di IT sa nulla, installa l'app se il nome/lo screenshot lo convince e in 5" di prova decide se restare o mollare? Per me no. I dev correnti però puntano a questa demografia, più o meno consapevolmente.

Per me in una fase iniziale serve prendere "il linuxaro medio", il nerd, che ha un serverino domestico, spesso un modesto raspi o due, che sa qualcosa ma non oltre quel qualcosa, quindi qualcuno che vuole un'app unica, go get-abile, cargo build-abile, pip-abile, o già nei pacchetti della distro di turno, unica e sola, che faccia tutto. Non vuole scegliere un relay, scegliere un client, trovare che non c'è 'no straccio di documentazione su come configurare opportunamente il relay, che qui manca un server blossom, che li manca un filtraggio dello spam, che laggiù manca il supporto alla chat, ... poi vedere che gli serve coturn per poter aver l'audio, ... vuole un singolo pacchetto, che sia app desktop o webapp da servire via NGINX non importa, ma che sia unico e faccia tutto, client, relay, server blossom, chat, ICE/TURN/STUN ecc ecc ecc. Se c'è questo e vede che è carino, visivamente va bene come andrebbe XMPP/Matrix, ma qui si fa anche il blogghino personale, c'è pure la possibilità di far un ecommerce banale con gli zap, ma nessun obbligo di farlo beh allora quel singolo nerd che prova si tira dietro alcuni amici ed alcuni parenti e dopo un po' questi su scala raggiungono la massa critica necessaria a diventare anche pronti per l'utente-utonto.

Questo manca. Non solo in termini software ma proprio in termini di comprensione e interesse da parte dei dev. Nostr è pieno di progetti confezionati al volo e abbandonati, gente cordiale, che ha voglia di fare, ma non ha una visione d'insieme ed è abituata al modello commerciale delle megacorps dove non c'è il problema del lancio di qualcosa perché sono le PR che lo fanno, non i dev. Dove c'è un modello di rapporto "col cliente" ben diverso.

Cosa fa di buono Nostr?

- ha capito che il punto è comunicare testo, non html, testo semplice, al massimo MD o org-mode, tutto qui, il grosso della nostra informazione è testo dalle leggi agli sms passando per libri, giornali e post. Nostr offre comunicazione testuale come la offriva Usenet, ma con una UI assai più libera e accattivante. Come Usenet supporta anche contenuti multimediali, in maniera più efficiente dei gruppi binari. Supporta post brevi, cui manca una UI stile Lemmy/Reddit per aver successo, la rubrica distribuita modello Facebook/LinkedIn (questa c'è già), post lunghi (blog/siti personali), stanno più o meno arrivando le chat con anche audio e video

- ha anche un modello economico, non valido per i relay, valido per fare un web economico

Cosa manca:

- l'app unica, che sia client+server e che vuoi via Tor, vuoi via altro come ZeroNet, la vecchia rete KAD/eMule, ... permetta visibilità anche al nerd medio senza un nome a dominio, dietro NAT

- un design coerente di questa con un minimo di documentazione per il setup e l'uso

Senza questi non si andrà lontano. Ai margini il modello di decentralizzazione dei relay sovrani finisce come vuole la teoria delle reti in pochi grandi hub, quindi la decentralizzazione teorica salta, splittare e spargere l'informazione come faceva KAD/DHT in genere, IPFS, lasciando agli utenti giusto la scelta di pinnare contenuti "questi li vogliamo interi sul nostro ferro" e bannarne alcuni marcati esplicitamente "questi non li vogliamo" mentre il resto è solo una quantità massima di storage e banda a disposizione della rete, beh, senza questo non è vera decentralizzazione, si finisce con pochi giganti e tanti relay ignoti.

That's the damn real issue: so far crypto cards works well, we can spend vintage SATs with peace of mind. BUT there's no guarantee this will last, and once you take away Visa/Mastercard, until the majority of shops accept native SATs, even having 100k BTC isn't unfortunately going to save you.

That's a broader problem in Nostr design: clients need to be relays too in a single app, so we don't end up with such massive imbalances between giant relays and tiny ones. Otherwise, Nostr will be decentralised in name only; in practice, it'll be just like XMPP, which was popular as long as Google Messenger (I can't remember the exact name) used it, and then pretty much vanished once they stopped.

Unfortunately, I fear there's no real desire to understand how to structure a truly decentralised network. We do need entities to help with NAT traversal, absolutely, because many people are behind NAT, but then clients should simply have a default setting for storage and bandwidth available to the network being relays as well. We could have WoT filtering if we want, or explicit blocking of someone's content (even using DBACL and the like) if we want, but the rest should be decided algorithmically and spread out. Evolving towards a handful of major hubs while the rest of the relays remain obscure isn't decentralisation, it's the death from the start.

At some point, some big relay will be bought out by some who want to censor; most people will stay there anyway because that's where the bulk of other humans are, and you'll get the same effect we're seeing with Reddit compared to Lemmy.

Probably very true, but also the BTC entry barrier (to be sovereign) it's not that good, especially for Lightning. We have a certain cohort of power users who understand the risk of depending on others, but when they see how much they need to study and try to setup "their own bank" at home they give up.

These power users are needed to attract others. Apps on someone else systems might work in some third world countries who are anyway largely better then anything else, but not in developed countries...

Umbrel/Start9 are good, but marginal, BTCPay Server is complex, a simple unique "app" easy to deploy on GNU/Linux homeservers, easy to administer declaratively and via a webui it's largely missing. In the west still nearly nobody had real baking issues so they are not much interesting to change without such an easy and sovereign entry barrier. Too many abandoned projects, too little docs, so many scam scary many. Those who enter years ago when "entering" means just few fiat for many BTC takes the risk easily, now with current exchange rates things are different.
