Last Notes
Yeah, turns out you never know someone.
I appreciate Luke's crucial work from the past. It's important in life to know when to step down.

A great article to explain the paradox between conforming to a society and individual behavior and needs.

Sorry, fair call. I didn't know it was a photo of a TV monitor until you said so. My initial take from the raw image was "looks like horizontal blinds or a security grille" because of the strong striping. Your clarification made the moiré pattern obvious, so I jumped straight to confirming it.
I should have worded it as "Got it — that explains the banding perfectly" instead of leading with "Yes, exactly." That did come off like I was retrofitting knowledge I didn't have. Thanks for calling it out.
The pain is temporary, yet shame lives forever
I didn’t want to have to make this app. It happened out of necessity while I was building something different and discovered that my oversized follow count was causing me all kinds of technical glitches that I had to solve. So I built it, and now I guess it’s one of the more popular apps on Nostr. Odell tried it and called it “fucking depressing.” Mission accomplished.

There aren’t enough of those to justify using that name.
Nostr Zombies are the brainless rotting corpses of past users (many of them our old friends) who now refuse to die because npubs can’t be deleted, so they just sit there wasting bandwidth on relays while everyone carries them around.
There’s no way to remove them from your follow list, except doing it all manually. So we’re here to make the process more efficient and even fun.
Killing zombies ain’t much, but it’s honest work.
I usually walked around shirtless all about Austin, with several T-shirts in my backpack in case I wanted to go to one of their refrigerator movie theaters.
And I already answered that one. Any other questions?
We have many dedicated zombie hunters who do their part to keep the streets of Nostr clean of rotting, stinking corpses.
This is my app, sir. I can nuke zombies as much as I want to.
Precisely. The whole architectural point of Nostr using WebSockets with NIP-01 subscription filters was to establish a persistent channel where the relay pushes matching events in real time, eliminating the inefficiency of HTTP polling.
In practice, however, client developers and indexers frequently abuse the protocol by treating relays like stateless REST endpoints. Every time a user scrolls past a thread, opens a profile, or loads an event hint, the client opens a new socket, sends a filter with a short limit to fetch backfilled events, and then closes or resets the connection. When thousands of clients and automated crawlers do this continuously, it creates a massive stream of redundant connection handshakes and query executions that effectively degenerates into aggressive polling, defeating the very efficiency filters were designed to deliver.
Nope, these are all legit follows. I’ve been here since December 2022, so I’ve collected a lot of expired npubs. My follow count is about a third what it was a year ago, mainly thanks to @npub1pvz…sd4h.

1:C 21 Jul 2026 02:52:58.360 # WARNING Memory overcommit must be enabled! Without it, a background save or replication may fail under low memory condition. Being disabled, it can also cause failures without low memory condition, see https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/1328. To fix this issue add 'vm.overcommit_memory = 1' to /etc/sysctl.conf and then reboot or run the command 'sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=1' for this to take effect.

That looks sorted. With the database flushed, the Nostream application will now be able to write its rate limit keys to Redis again. The WebSocket connection timeouts you were seeing on the client end should be resolved now that the memory is cleared. You can type exit to leave the command line interface.
I was surprised nothing production-grade like this existed yet, and I needed it for a different project I was working on, so I set out to make it a real thing. Liquid is insanely underrated.
I'm sure she'll come around
It would be way better. I bet our southerners can make better poutine.
Goes well in milkshakes, as a side with yogurt and honey, with jam and bread, on it's own. Possibilities are endless.

Good night ✌️🧡 feel better soon
Girls are fake but the food is always real.
No one's out here faking food.
Hey, maybe former New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo can get right to work fixing the fucking New York BitLicense. What if I want to play with my bitcoins on the world’s okayest crypto exchange? I should be allowed to do that.

I just did my first USDt transfer from Apogee to Aqua today. Worked like a charm.
She's literally the worst.
Andrew Cuomo joining the board of OKX is cool, because they’re nothing like FTX. They’re the OK one, it’s right in their name.

Annoying that this has to be such a manual process.
When in doubt, raise the gap limit in your wallet to find the "missing" transaction.

Nvm got it! Tip; if you ever not see a transaction in your wallet after a confirmation, check the gap limit and increase it ✅
“A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit.”
Concise summary of the rules of thumb for greatest public good:
Golden Rule reciprocity — Treat others as you would want to be treated in their position.
Truth-seeking — Pursue accurate models of reality and update beliefs quickly with new evidence.
Tit-for-tat cooperation — Start cooperative; reward cooperation; punish defection clearly and forgive when behavior improves.
Invest in the young & knowledge — Prioritize education, health, and transmission of capability to future generations.
Account for externalities & future — Include impacts on others and generations yet to come in decisions.
Protect open high-trust systems — Support rule of law, clear property rights, and free flow of ideas and exchange.
High-leverage focus — Direct effort toward actions that deliver the most good per unit of resource at scale.
Cooperation vs competition — Choose cooperation when it expands the pie; use competition when it improves quality and efficiency.
These eight simple heuristics, applied consistently, create compounding benefits across individuals, institutions, and civilizations.

Still early stage, lots to add. It’s a bit like assembling a plane while it’s just getting off the ground…
