All civil laws are an instantiation of SOMEONE'S morality. They are, by definition, putting the State's authority weild the sword behind someone's idea of what society "should" or "ought" to look like, and those are undeniably moral terms. The only question is whose morality those laws will reflect.
The only true morality is God's morality as laid out in Scripture. Looking to nature produces all sorts of perversions, since all of nature has been affected by the corruption of the fall. General revelation is not a reliable guide for establishing truly moral laws.
Civil law, therefore, should reflect God's revealed law as the only true and reliable morality. This conclusion is unavoidable for any Christian, in my opinion. The only questions left for us to debate are, "How much of God's law ought to be within the purview of the State to enforce, and how much left to the Church and/or the family?" and, "Is there any duty for Christians to work toward this ideal this side of Christ's return, or should we just let the State belong wholly to Satan until he is fully and finally defeated?"

Wondered what you've been up to since you've been quiet around here.
Only one voice option for now?
It's not bad. I have been using SherpaTTS via Librera, and my issue with that one is the inconsistency of the voice from sentence to sentence. Lower tone in one sentence, higher tone in the next, like it is constantly switching between three or four similar voice models.
Your app definitely has a more consistent voice from sentence to sentence, making it easier to focus when listening. Would definitely like to have a male voice option, though. The voice you have is pretty good! Only slightly robotic, and not distractingly so!

Wonderful news!
Our time without a pastor in 2024 was also blessedly short.
I know some pulpits that have been sitting empty for a few years, though.
Empty pulpits for that long can be a real danger, because churches become less stringent on their standards and often make compromises that they shouldn't, and then we just have to hope that the presbytery catches it during floor examination.

I'll echo the recommendation of Greg Bahnsen's "Van Til's Apologetic." He does a great job of presenting Van Til in more approachable terms.
One that is a bit more broad, comparing the classical, evidential, reformed, and fideist approaches to apologetics in a balanced, clear, and concise manner, with examples of how each approach would attempt to steer a conversation, is "Faith Has Its Reasons" by Kenneth Boa and Robert Bowman Jr.
I need to read more Rothbard... Maybe some summer reading.

Yeah, Scofield and his ilk really did a number on conservative denominations. At least they are Historic Premil, so they don't deny covenant theology or tolerate dispensationalism, but still an odd position for a Presbyterian denomination. And the fact that they are the only one has been part of the reason they haven't just joined up with the OPC. Many in the denomination want to keep at least one Presbyterian denomination out there that is confessionally Premil. A strange justification for maintaining separation, if you ask me.
And yeah, Luther could throw some back in his day!

2026-04-19 06:55:59 CEST

- reply

I am more aligned with the OPC in many ways now. The BPC has a shared history with the OPC. When Machen and all the other conservative guys got the boot from the PCUSA's liberal majority back in the 1930s, that new denomination split shortly afterward with one group becoming the BPC and the other the OPC.
The BPC exit was led mainly by a minister named Carl McEntire. The BPC at that time was strongly Historical Premil in their eschatology and they didn't believe in drinking any alcohol at all. They have since moderated on both issues, allowing ordination of ministers and elders who are Amil or Postmil, and drinking of alcohol in moderation. But they have had several splits of their own since the 1930s, so the denomination is now pretty small. Only about 30 churches and 3500-4000 total members now, would be my estimate.

Buying hardware with an OS preinstalled that makes running node software stupid simple is the easiest way to go. I recommend @npub126n…e9ll , especially now that they are selling their servers with StartOS v. 0.4.0-beta preinstalled. @npub1agh…mhct is also a good option.
I think Start9 is the better option because their new OS is incredibly powerful, while remaining easy to use, and because purchase of a server from them gives you access to their private Matrix server for expert support. By contrast, I have had mixed experiences with Umbrel's support via their Discord server, but the folks at Start9 have always been responsive and knowledgeable.
These are basically plug and play. Fire them up, navigate to the web UI via any web browser on a device on your local network, set up your login credentials, and install your preferred Bitcoin node software from their official app store, accessible from your main dashboard.
It will take a few days to a week or so to sync the full blockchain, and then you will want to have some additional apps to actually make use of it, such as an electrum server to connect your node to whatever Bitcoin wallet you use, your own mempool explorer, and any Lightning node software you want to run, if you're wanting to self-host your own Lightning wallet.

Start9 is a really interesting option on the new update, since users can provision Tor interfaces for each specific endpoint that an app has listed.

You are absolutely correct that these things are not terribly obvious to the user.
Users in a client that supports markdown in kind 1 who then switch to a client that doesn't will just think that the second client has a bug that needs fixing.

However, as it should, it has you select it based on purpose, not based on kind number or whether it supports markdown. If you want to write an article or blog, you select "Long-Form Article", which is kind 30023, and it will have markdown support. But if you want to write a short note that shows up in the main feed on the majority of clients, then you can select the Short Text Note, and that will not support markdown in most clients. You will just have to hope people view the note in one of the clients that renders markdown for kind 1.
There is no rule against rendering markdown in kind 1, of course, and most clients render SOME things like images, videos, and link previews, instead of leaving them as plain text. It's just not expected by the protocol that they do so.

2026-04-09 06:56:57 CEST

I don't think markdown support is expected for kind 1. Some clients like Amethyst might render it for kind 1 regardless, but the protocol expects kind 1 to be plaintext, as per NIP-10.

Mostly went smoothly. Only major hiccup has been this LND bug, which is honestly a big deal if you are relying on your LND node as your primary way to transact on Lightning, which I am.
Minor hiccup: Mempool explorer wouldn't start due to some error with accessing the API. That just required uninstalling and reinstalling the Mempool app, though.

Christian Nationalism is equally difficult to pin down in many ways.
I probably take a stance that makes some Two Kingdoms guys, especially the more R2K ones, think I am a Christian Nationalist and some Christian Nationalists think I am on the Two Kingdoms side.
I believe that we are strangers and sojourners primarily looking forward to the new heavens and new earth, and not pre-parousial Christian utopia. However, I view that eternal outlook as enabling us to live boldly and brightly as a city on a hill, with a duty to seek to have Christian values reflected in our culture and civil government whenever possible, even knowing that we will face resistance and persecution more often than success.
The R2K folks often point to Hebrews 11, and how Abraham lived in the land of promise "as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob" (v. 9) because he "was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God" (v. 10) and toward "a better country, that is, a heavenly one" (v. 16). However, that same eternal focus on the ultimate fulfillment of the promise is what enabled him and those after him to take a stand against unrighteous kings, (v. 27), to topple unrighteous cities and nations (vv. 30, 33), "enforce justice" (v. 33), "become mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight" (v. 34), and other great deeds connected with temporal civil and cultural reformation.
The fact that the promises of God are ultimately fulfilled after Christ's return does not absolve Christians of duty here and now. Rather it enables us to joyfully go about our duty without regard to the temporal outcome, knowing that whether God blesses our efforts or brings them to naught in this life, he will ultimately bring everything in subjection to him. Christ is not called King of Kings for nothing.

Incredibly well written, sir. Not sure I agree entirely, but I do at least agree that a right is only valuable as such if others are willing to use force to defend it. Yet, I would not say that the lack of those willing to defend it means the right does not exist. The premise of the Declaration of Independence is not that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are rights because the founding fathers were willing to pledge their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to violently defend them, but that they were willing to violently defend them because they were legitimate rights.
A right that goes undefended is no less a right, though it be violated. Calling something a right is a matter of morality, not preference, and just as moral "oughts" can be ignored, rights can be violated. Of course, that brings us into the realm of philosophy and theology to answer the question of where rights come from, but the important concept for this discussion is that a right can exist, even if there is no one willing to exert violence to defend it, even as there can exist a moral duty to love one's neighbor, even if there is no one willing to obey it.
For that reason I would not define a right as "a standard that other people WOULD be willing to commit violence to uphold," but rather as "a standard that other people SHOULD be willing to commit violence to uphold."
That out of the way, much of the article I would agree with, especially the illegitimacy of "entitlement rights," rather than "boundary rights." My favorite line is, "Defensive force stops an aggressor. Entitlement enforcement conscripts bystanders." The one is legitimate, the other is illegitimate and is actually a violation of rights.
I also more or less agree with your definition of government as the institution with a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. I might take issue with "monopoly" though. Self-defense is a legitimate use of force that is afforded to the people, and not only to the state. A monopoly on the legitimate judicial use of force might be a better way of saying it; the use of violence for the purpose of upholding justice when the rights of those under their jurisdiction have been violated.
Even that much I am hesitant to call a monopoly, though. Rights are not merely intended to protect individuals from the immoral actions of other individuals who would violate them, thus providing justification for government enforcement against those immoral actions, but are also intended to set boundaries against government itself. The Bill of Rights is a barrier against tyranny, and assumes that when governments violate those rights, the people themselves are justified in the use of violence against the government.

It comes from the Hebrew verb "mashach", which simply means to annoint as with oil, which was a common practice for kings, but also for other offices, and even objects. The participle form, "meshiach," from which we get the term Messiah, is used of kings for sure, but also of priests and prophets, which is of interest since Christ is not only king, but also priest (of the order of Melchizedek) and prophet.

We've got some really great clients that support the outbox model and also support Tor natively in the app. That's really great for freedom of speech, since users don't have to feel locked into using the big relays in order to be seen, but can use their own relay or a community relay.
The next big step is going to be easy to run personal or community relays and Blossom servers with Tor endpoints. Is anyone already building something like this? @npub1m2j…3wgu built Haven-Kit, forked from Haven, a while back, but ran into trouble exposing the relay endpoints over Tor. It only wanted to expose the GUI via Tor and that's obviously not ideal.
@npub1syj…f6wl also has Nostr Relay Tray, which is a really easy to run relay that can be exposed to clearnet via a proxy in a single click. Very handy, but no Blossom server integration and no Tor.

We weren't talking about ownership, though. We were talking about reliable deletion of data. Ownership has little to do with whether you can reliably expect that your data has been deleted, access does. If anyone can access the data, they can copy it.
Of course, having only one server that you are posting ypur data to makes it less likely that it will still be living anywhere else when you want it deleted, and that is an advantage of Pubky, but it comes with the disadvantage of not having redundancy: less censorship resistance.

Homeservers don't solve this by any measure. If you run your own homeserver, you might have more assurance, but if you don't then you are still just trusting that the operator actually deleted your data and didn't keep a copy.
If the data on that homeserver can be read by others, then you have no way of knowing whether any of them made a copy that could be republished elsewhere.

There is no such thing.
Centralized platforms give us the illusion of being able to delete our data, but we have no way of knowing whether they or anyone else with an interest in doing so, has created a copy.
It is also impossible to prove the non-existence of anything.
Deletion on Nostr will always be "best effort," and a client like Amethyst in particular really can't do anything about that, because deletion policy is handled where the data is stored: on the relays. All Amethyst can do, which I believe it already does, is send a deletion request to all known relays in accord with NIP-62. It is then up to that relay to comply with that request.
Relays that are offline, or that are not public may never receive that request. Still other relays might receive the request and ignore it. There is nothing Amethyst or any other client can do to prevent that.

The primary way I use Tailscale is to connect to my Umbrel from my other devices when I am away from home. Having Nostr VPN packaged for Umbrel would be incredible.

No, the need for seeing WoT before updating is resolved by the fix you made today, assuming that was a general fix and didn't only apply to Wisp.
I'm talking about having WoT visible on the app info page simply because people viewing that page may find the information useful. If they have never installed the app before, they might use it as part of their decision-making process, or they may just want to see if the publisher is reputable before adding the app to one of their stacks, since others might view that as their endorsement.
Only having that information visible when a user hits "Install" means that users have mostly already made the decision that they're going to install the app before information that may have changed their mind is presented, and it means the information isn't visible at all for users who already have the app installed, but still may find WoT details useful for other reasons.
"Oh, my buddy Derek follows this dev? He probably uses this app too so I'll reach out to see how he likes it compared to X similar app."

Correct. If you choose to install an app for the first time, you will get an "are you sure?" type of message that shows whether anyone in your web of trust follows the publisher of the app, but that doesn't show up at all for updating.
It would be nice if @nprofile…tdq0 showed WoT on the app information page prior to tapping "install."

Nice thing is, if you already have the correct app installed, Zapstore gives a big red warning when trying to "update" to the wrong one.

I have had no success so far. Autoclaw works fine, but once I try to enable privacy mode, everything breaks.

No, I know you're not trying to be snarky. Neither am I.
And I get it. People want what they want and non-technical folks don't understand why the things they want may not be realistic. They also may have the impression that services they currently use are providing them with what they asked for, when that absolutely is not the case.
Maybe the measures @nprofile…56gk suggested will satisfy them. I hope they will. I just ask that you are honest about the limitations in the plainest language possible. Something to the effect of:
"I will do everything I can to ensure that message history bridged from Owncast to Nostr is not retained, including automatically adding expiration times and regularly checking for and purging expired messages. Anyone who is technically inclined can view the code I am running to verify for themselves that it does what I claim.
"That said, I cannot provide a guarantee that all messages have been deleted, because it is impossible to prove that something doesn't exist. But that is equally the case for Owncast, as well. The developers can tell you what they do to purge message history, but they cannot provide any proof that it has been done, nor can they prove that message history has not been copied and retained by anyone.
"You were only aware that I had copied Owncast message history to Nostr because I also bridged Nostr messages to Owncast, but there is no telling whether anyone else may have created copies of message history prior to that. There is nothing about Owncast that prevents anyone from doing just that."
It's a hard pill to swallow, but EVERYONE who uses the internet should be aware that anything they put out on it should be considered permanent. Once it exists online anywhere, it is impossible to prevent it from being copied and retained by anyone with access to where it is stored. There are no take-backs.

From what I can tell, nothing in what @nprofile…cy6q suggested can in any way be characterized as a guarantee of deletion. Only a best effort to ensure deletion and a "trust me, this is what we're running on our relay, here's the open source code that shows how it works allowing me to 'safely claim that messages are not persisted,' but there is no way for me to prove that neither I or anyone else is 'malociously persisting them.'"
Indeed he also acknowledges that the same lack of guarantee would also be an issue with messages residing on OwnCast servers.
Owncast has passed UAT for them only because they never bothered to ask whether Owncast can provide guarantee that their chats are deleted, and Owncast never bothered to be proactively up-front that it's impossible to provide any such guarantee.

I would submit to you that though you say this, you do not actually behave this way.
This requires understanding that human authority is not unilateral, though. It is delegated and limited to specific contexts. For instance, when you go to a friend's home, you recognize their authority to set boundaries for what they will let you do and where in their home they will allow you to go, and you recognize that if you don't abide by his boundaries, he has every right to kick you out. You are the guest and they are the resident, so they have some legitimate authority over their home, but only in that context. The authority is reversed if that same friend comes to your home.
The same is true for parenting. It is contextual authority, not unilateral, and it should change over time as a child matures and demonstrates the ability to make responsible decisions. A parent must exercise much more authority over a 2-year-old than a 12-year-old. Eventually, parents do not have an authority role over their children at all, but only advisory.
A Christian perspective does not permit me to reject all forms of human authority as illegitimate, because God's Word commands me otherwise. You may not agree with a Christian worldview, and that's fine, but I submit my own thinking to God's revelation. For instance:
"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother (this is the first commandment with a promise), that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land. Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." - Ephesians 6:1-4
"Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you." - Hebrews 13:17
"So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders." - 1 Peter 5:1-5a
"We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work." - 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13a
Paul, writing to Titus, a fellow minister of the gospel whom Paul had left in Crete to get the new churches there fully established: "Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you."
And then the ones that we really buck against:
"Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good." - 1 Peter 2:13-14
"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment." - Romans 13:1-2
Nevertheless, we know that these commands to obey those in legitimate authority over us are not blanket requirements to do whatever they tell us, no matter what, because Scripture gives us examples of those who were commended for resisting ungodly authorities. For example:
Peter and John told the Jewish religious leaders, who tried to force them to stop preaching about Jesus, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard." - Acts 4:19-20
Later, again before the Jewish religious leaders, Peter and the other apostles were questioned again about why they continued teaching in the name of Jesus, and they responded, "We must obey God rather than men." Acts 5:29
Also, Pharaoh ordered the Hebrew midwives to kill every male infant born to a Hebrew woman, "but the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live." That is, they disobeyed his authority because it contradicted God's revealed will, and we are told that they were commended for it: "So God dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied and grew very strong. And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families." - Exodus 1:15-21
There are many more examples that I could cite of people being commended for disobeying human authorities when ordered by them to go against God's revealed will. Therefore, in order to hold all of what Scripture says in balance, those with a Christian worldview must conclude that God has put in place legitimate human authorities that have authority within the context or sphere that God has placed them, but that God himself is the only ultimate and unilateral authority, and therefore we must obey him rather than human authorities at any point where these delegated authorities overstep their bounds by opposing, contradicting, or becoming more restrictive than God.
Again, though, if you don't hold to a Christian worldview, there is no reason to accept what God's Word has to say on the matter. Yet, I think you still likely recognize legitimate authority in various contexts within your own life, even if you claim otherwise.

Just looked at the site. It doesn't appear there is a way to install apps directly from the site, only to add comments, add the app to one of your stacks, and such. That's why it requires login on the site, not for installing. Downloading and installing requires the Zapstore app.

You have two options: 1. Lie to them to pass UAT, or 2. Tell them their expectations are unrealistic and every service they currently use has the same issue, whether they realize it or not. If they aren't going to use what you have made because it can't guarantee deletion, then they should be consistent and opt out of absolutely everything else as well.
It is impossible to prove the non-existence of anything, and that is just as true in this context as it is in philosophy.
