In Buzz, I think I have created an agent running on a remote computer somewhere. It shows up on the relay.
Been quite the hassle to setup...
Let's see if I end up programming with it!

Working here, though! I see the decentralization potential...

It is running right now on NixOS, but I wouldn't call it a production setup...

That bag can fit in a lot of grocery items and advertise nostr at the same time!

Whoever gave me this huge bag at Nostrica, THANK YOU!
Been using it super often since then and I love it!

Do people here still use browser extensions to login to nostr enabled websites?
If so, which one would you recommend?

Only sending updates would require the server to be able to sign the list on your behalf.
The whole point of nostr is to transfer control from server to the user.

2025-08-18 17:44:51 UTC

- reply

the trigger for me to switch was when I tried to include the mempool app to nixpkgs. I got hammered cause bitcoin apps were supposedly bad for the environment at that time.
from that moment on, I figured a little decentralization was my way forward.

I love this explanation of why flakes might make sense

flakes also allow to pin version numbers, which increases reproduceability

2025-08-18 17:06:30 UTC

- reply

isn't it harder to track, compared to inputs and outputs in a flake? makes the distinction clear about what's included in nixpkgs and what I added myself.

2025-08-18 17:04:32 UTC

- reply

I'd like to understand the reason behind the flake hate... maybe I could learn a thing or two.
Without them, I feel shackled to what nixpkgs might contain or not.

2025-08-18 15:57:56 UTC

- reply

Nevermind, I have tried again and now it works... that's weird... maybe I was in a shell that's in a shell within another shell that caused that flake dependency.

2025-08-18 15:50:34 UTC

- reply

I think they help with decentralization, which as a bitcoiner I tend to go towards... I use them all the time to package stuff so I don't have to wait for nixpkgs to do it for me.
Anyway, seems like I depend on a flake to execute the shell.nix but you don't. That's the point.

2025-08-18 15:47:29 UTC

oh, maybe that's because I am setup with flakes and I guess you're not...

What if I make a pull request with a flake... would you accept it? It might also intall all the rust toolchain just by typing "nix develop".

2025-08-18 15:28:20 UTC

Been a while I haven't used zaps here.
Asking "the AI" which is the best wallet to get a NWC URL from. All I get is hallucinations. So far, none of the options presented work.
So I am asking you, fellow nostriches... which setup are you using?

2025-08-18 15:05:11 UTC

Trying notedeck... one minute in, already loving it! Thanks @npub1xts…kk5s!
Thinking about contributing to it by adding a flake. Would be nice to be able to cleanly install it in my Nix home-manager.
Is there a reason why I can find none as we speak?

Any recommendations about what I should start with? I've already tried https://ampcode.com and it is very impressive, although it seems to be target to enterprise users.

2025-08-04 15:35:12 UTC

Any nostr devs here that is successfully vibe coding using open source local models?

2025-07-22 13:05:55 UTC

What's the current state of nostr relay software?
I used to work on one in 2023 for learning purposes. Since then, my attention has been diverted to other matters, so it never came to be.
This automn, my attention will most probably be back on sovereign software development in full force.
Be it on nostr or Bitcoin, maybe I should focus on newer problems to be solved, hence my questioning.

I want to learn NWC from a rust developer perspective... where should I start?
Is there a podcast somewhere explaining the basics of what it's for and how it works with a high level perspective?
The ideal would be an architectural view.

Impermanence in NixOS is where your root directory gets wiped every reboot...
Add some bitcoin apps to the configuration and create an image with it.
You end up with a potential bitcoin bootable USB key that records nothing.
