Sure, most of those things are either dead or even smaller than Nostr, but this collective effort has been going on for like 20 years now.<br/><br/>My point is, in a space where there&#39;s always yet another effort that&#39;s not known widely about within a group, it&#39;s a guarantee that someone will feel slighted because their specific thing got no credit. 2024-06-18T08:37:18Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsg9t4tz5lv79huxydx36z0ceevdfc9zyzu2tzla6yy86mnafe6w2szyra5t7vz6fxxmk4w6qfw9rp9zja8ypaq3ntn34fwy7j776p8veusq9y5f2p So, this comes up every now and then on #Nostr: running a relay on your phone. It&#39;s probably not super practical for using as a conduit for sending out to the network, but you know what it could be useful for? <br/><br/>Storing a copy of your social graph locally. <br/><br/>What if someone designed an NSec Bunker-like experience, where identity, and content management, auth, and storage all live in your device?<br/><br/>I started off thinking about this in the context of how limiting Fediverse servers can be, but I think it could suit Nostr. You could even set it up to import and translate data from other services, like your Facebook or Medium exports. With the right mechanisms, you could even sync it from one identity to another, somewhere else on the network. <br/><br/>Am I crazy, or does this have legs? 2024-06-15T20:41:04Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstyj9kmf59uqud2g3p8gkym7aw4fzn920zgvccpgnayfr62tk4vvgzyra5t7vz6fxxmk4w6qfw9rp9zja8ypaq3ntn34fwy7j776p8veusqvc3qvz My brother is the drummer for a Gears of War-themed blackened death metal band called Hammer of Dawn.

I can program games with elaborate, bespoke systems. I’ve written over 100 technical articles, and led engineering teams through detailed implementations. I write poetry, make art, compose music, make people laugh, and will stay up all night talking to someone in need.<br/><br/>I know I should just “get over it”, but insecurity is weird in that it’s not rational.

If it&#39;s a really urgent &#34;Breaking News&#34; piece, I can bang out something high-quality in a matter of hours, but I still have to take the time for research and accuracy beforehand.<br/><br/>Quality is extremely important to me. Very rarely do I ever push out a piece that I feel &#34;meh&#34; about. I know that if I don&#39;t feel attached to my piece, the audience definitely won&#39;t, either.

If there was an error message, either in a GUI or a terminal, what was it? What was your OS / browser setup? Did you have to use something specific to get the app to work on your device, like Homebrew?<br/><br/>It can become kind of a rabbit hole of &#34;What info do I need to bring with me?&#34;, but any supportive information is better than nothing. 2024-06-10T16:03:23Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsq9zhsf75et4veym2ls5etss7dxn6d4n8yde2pd4cz4e4vcm9zwxczyra5t7vz6fxxmk4w6qfw9rp9zja8ypaq3ntn34fwy7j776p8veusqyc8zrt Dungeon Meshi is so ridiculously good, it’s not even fair.

Instead, it seems a more favored practice these days is to delegate something to do your signing for you, like the Alby browser extension. <br/><br/>The user experience is pretty good, and it seems like the current wisdom is to use the browser or a mobile client for this, instead of storing it on a server. My general inquiry is, how secure is this? Is this the best way to do things?<br/><br/>On the #Fediverse side of things, it&#39;s more common to see OAuth for client auth. Of course, that all relies on servers, and goes a bit against a peer-to-peer model.<br/><br/>I&#39;m curious as to whether a hybrid approach is possible, or even makes sense: allowing users to tether themselves to some kind of identity provider that more or less does delegated key rotation and some kind of Auth dance for them?<br/> 2024-06-02T10:26:30Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsf52uqkhgxnnmqkh32udsen0uh904a0szp666x34rves4qepzs4xszyra5t7vz6fxxmk4w6qfw9rp9zja8ypaq3ntn34fwy7j776p8veusqte6uy0 Sitting here, twiddling my thumbs as I wait for people from the apartment management company to walk through and try to find a reason to evict us.

But, I feel like Nostr’s way of doing things is like a sneak peak of what might have been possible with ActivityPub C2S.<br/><br/>We should totally steal these ideas, and turn them into a FEP. 2024-05-27T03:32:38Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsz3tynavc6j8mjjxr376j58ceehc6ffg5twhpkry2hpzye9kkew6gzyra5t7vz6fxxmk4w6qfw9rp9zja8ypaq3ntn34fwy7j776p8veusqvmtrqc I feel like the way #Nostr does apps is superior to how we do it in the #Fediverse.<br/><br/>This isn’t to say that Nostr apps are inherently better. Some Mastodon apps have an incredible amount of polish, and extremely creative features. <br/><br/>Nostr’s standardization on identity and credentials and appended data is really, really good, though. Everything I sign into just works. Whereas, as a Non-Mastodon user with partial MastoAPI support, that isn’t always the case. I often have to cross my fingers and hope it works. 2024-05-27T03:32:07Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9w2rhgv09r85plp70ckrqpsvj8r8t9hqfdulzag7c260gaaaqvnczyra5t7vz6fxxmk4w6qfw9rp9zja8ypaq3ntn34fwy7j776p8veusq049shk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw62mhhl599tk7nlhq0yyvh0k5ww7hma4e5gnseedetghj6kndqhgjd2quf'>nevent1q…2quf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Maybe <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>rabble</span> (<span class="italic">npub1wmr…g240</span>)</a></span> has some thoughts? 2024-05-22T05:29:40Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsw62mhhl599tk7nlhq0yyvh0k5ww7hma4e5gnseedetghj6kndqhgzyra5t7vz6fxxmk4w6qfw9rp9zja8ypaq3ntn34fwy7j776p8veusqmv0gdt General #Nostr question: is there a Buffer-like team posting app in the ecosystem yet? <br/><br/>There&#39;s an open source PHP-based platform called #Mixpost that&#39;s pretty good, and supports most of what I want.<br/><br/>I&#39;m not a brilliant PHP dev by any means, but I&#39;ve been musing over forking some code and submitting a basic, basic pull request that implements NIP-01 (and probably more). Would there be any interest in using Mixpost within the community, if it were to support Nostr?<br/><br/>I wrote a really basic feature request here: <a href="https://roadmap.mixpost.app/items/158-nostr-support">https://roadmap.mixpost.app/items/158-nostr-support</a> 2024-05-22T05:28:56Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqh4scqtulu5e07h2lycgmhr3sk7h92gw38342ju6375zlp669cdqzyra5t7vz6fxxmk4w6qfw9rp9zja8ypaq3ntn34fwy7j776p8veusqwkcelj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvv986xmw2ar30suut9ghd5fpgc7zjqjvmac9n4sqhusyatpxjvkqp6nlfn'>nevent1q…nlfn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If you&#39;re looking at prior art for a foundational basis to look at, Loomio is great.

It was an interesting learning experience. <br/><br/>I don&#39;t think we&#39;re ready to announce anything yet, as this was in service of another project in development. But, there&#39;s an increasing number of ways to host content on an IPFS node service, and tie it back to platforms like Mastodon using an S3-compatible API for Object Storage and some proxying.<br/><br/>This is all pretty rudimentary, but the big-brain realization is that a more robust version could be done by pairing Minio to s3x if we wanted to self-host an IPFS node with those specific features.<br/><br/><br/> 2024-05-10T06:12:37Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyzm0kzc7yw8k0eplqahy9z0etk9tg8vsu8ddtdwuc57t40uzy0eqzyra5t7vz6fxxmk4w6qfw9rp9zja8ypaq3ntn34fwy7j776p8veusqm0c0tz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd0nwjdjhrje525qq6yh9wktl4v59ffqtg529jv8pjz9wzx2vqc6g80940e'>nevent1q…940e</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>rabble</span> (<span class="italic">npub1wmr…g240</span>)</a></span> might find this interesting, as we continue to grow our efforts of covering different networks. 2024-05-07T05:49:14Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsg0y7p6n5mp064l3avcq05454s6t0qnzmmk2k8wy50kqyj9pup5dqzyra5t7vz6fxxmk4w6qfw9rp9zja8ypaq3ntn34fwy7j776p8veusqj5kdak Is there a good web tool for reading the JSON data of a #Nostr event?
