Last Notes
Making it open would not have helped with interoperability, unfortunately. Jam was not designed for that, which both Nests and Corny Chat were based on.
It would have been good to fully open up, but it’s gone now. There was no attempts though to “lock it down”, and it remained compatible with the base Jam software.
The goal of the rewrite was to provide specifications anyone could implement to get their own fully compatible audio room. That got lost after the takeover, somehow.
I attribute the downfall more to Primal and fast-moving specs, more than “scrutinizing what is a true client”.
Youngest has been sick for a few days now. Nothing unusual for a 2 y.o. though.
Are you affected by the forest fires?
Me too! 😂

I could not bring myself to work on the Nests rewrite while being exhausted, under public pressure, and other concerns. The unilateral decisions about a project I contributed to so much did not help.
I forgot to mention, we held a bounty pool to be paid out to any contributors to the ground-up rewrite, that was separated.
I transferred any custodied sats for this bounty I might have to Derek when I left.
If I remember correctly, we also compensated both TC and Karnage out of pocket from Nostr Plebs for their work. It was however unfortunate to see Karnage’s design work go to waste..
——
I do less Nostr development now. Mostly because the AI slop takeover, and the focus on quality going downhill. I have tried to prevent that to some extent, but I have failed.
(Especially on the NIPs, where my access was revoked)
But, it is great to be able to work with amazing people like @npub1r0r…q9ac and the @npub137c…k37w.
I try to do the right thing. Sometimes I make mistakes.
Which is the same and the endpoint is normal SMTP. Don't see advantage with it
Yes and very nice pasta it is, but life changing may be an overstatement 😂

Okay good. I think a lot of people are struggling with it, so glad you and your fam are good

wonders never cease to amaze...
It was more complex and weirder than that.
Derek started hosting Nostr Nests independently based on Jam software. They made some minor modifications early on, but got bigger.
With our existing work together on Nostr Plebs, I agreed to help.
With there UI leaving a lot to be desired, me, @npub1jdg…2mys and @npub1r0r…q9ac worked on a UI redesign. Most of the core remained the same, with mostly some UI changes.
I have been clear that Nests was based on Jam, and I have never tried to obscure that.
Anyway, at this point, it was decided that a complete rewrite, fully independent from Jam was a good idea.
There were too many issues with large rooms on Jam. Also, it was built with a different identity system than Nostr, which made it hard to integrate.
The main reason that we, together, decided to not make it open-contribution is due to the rewrite. It would be fully open source and open contribution, and more suited than that.
(Looking back, I’m not sure if that was a good choice or not. The code depended a lot on internal details to work.)
Anyway, I did not have the motivation to work on the rewrite due to burn-out and personal reasons. This was not helped by the fact that our informal agreement with Derek that it was a shared project fell through, of sorts.
Derek had made it clear that he treated it mostly as his own project including making unilateral decisions, and I felt like that was disrespectful to the work of me and others.
Around that point I left and took a break from Nostr.
I did not track what happened fully next, but I believe it was replaced by a rewrite by Kieran and then proceeded to become inactive.
——
If it was ever unclear that Nests was based on Jam, I apologize for that.
There was never a goal to gatekeep contributions, but more that it was simply not suitable for it due to it being designed with so many internal components.
The situation was more complex than this person was solely responsible about it”.
Even though I have mixed feelings about it, I will not share my personal interactions with Derek in depth out of respect for privacy.
Air quality is excellent here 😂
Luckily there’s no impact from forest fires. Thanks for worrying homie

Am I the only person who hasn't bothered to look up what the conjecture is or why it's a big deal? It seems crazy complex to state, so I feel like it's not worth the effort

Wifey spent 2 years so far training the mutts to give a paw on demand. Success 50%, one just looks at her. 2 took me 2 weeks to train them to go batshit crazy when I say "Scooby snacks". Everything is about incentives!
Few things I don't understand:
>>>Basically you find all the numbers less than the the first n primes multiplied together, p_n#, and coprime to it. Then isolate the twins, then find their central numbers. E.G. 12 for (11,13) and 18 for (17,19) then you find the gap between them. 6 in the example above. For 2*3*5=30 the centers are 0,12,18,30. So the largest gap is 12
Are we counting (29,31) as twin primes here?
>>>The wheels are symmetric so you really only need to search the first half taking care to double the middle gap. So in our example above I count to 15, noting the gap of 12 then count 3 more to get to 15, double that to get 6. 12 is bigger than 6 so keep that. No need to do 30-18, that's just 12 again.
Not following this; "count to 15, noting gap of 12..". Where is this gap of 12 in the list up to 15? I think you meant "center?" Or maybe it's a center of 12 which is a gap of 12 from 0... unclear on how you're handling the edge cases, but I think you're including them, and then here stating that the biggest gap you find below halfway point only then requires checking how far to midpoint for one other case...would be nice if I understood better.
>>>Why? Well any element of the set < p_n^2 is prime if the maximum gap is < p_n^2 then no matter how well orchestrated the primes are in eliminating twin elements then there will always be some twin elements that are prime.
Not sure I follow this, but I'm kinda being lazy at this point. Claude did mention something about this, so I think I could sort if out if I put my mind to it.

📰 **Why The Protocol You Ignored Is Quietly Eating Web3's Lunch**
✍️ by NM team
You think decentralized social is dead? While you were distracted by AI agents and memecoins, the most anti-fragile protocol in crypto just secured funding for encrypted video calls, AI marketplaces, and an app store that bypasses Big Tech entirely. But here’s what the grants announcement doesn’t tell you—and why developers are suddenly rushing back to Nostr.

📰 **What Happened This Week In The Luxury World Travel**
✍️ by NM team
You think luxury travel in 2026 is about five-star hotels and suite upgrades—it’s not. Southern Europe is capturing 11.71% of global travel intent this week alone, and the most coveted thing a wealthy traveler can have right now is unscheduled time. But here's what nobody's telling you: while everyone chases the same “slow travel” narrative, a handful of destinations are quietly rewriting the rules of high-end hospitality—and the window to get in before the rates double is closing faster than you think.

Why has "update" become "downgrade" in so many cases? Maybe nostr will simply get more traction as other software gets further updates. Bizarre

📰 **Why Luxury Travelers Are Now Booking Their £50,000 Villas Two Weeks Out**
✍️ by Rome
You believe luxury travel requires months of planning. That the best villas are booked a year in advance. That spontaneity is for budget travelers, not the ultra-wealthy. Well... You are wrong. New data from Oliver's Travels reveals that bookings exceeding £25,000 jumped 33% year-on-year between April and June 2026. And here's the kicker: reservations made within 60 days of departure surged 45%.
But here's what the data doesn't tell you. And it's about to completely redefine how the 1% travel this summer...

the reptilian brain projecting...
This would be thoughtless reactive behaviour, that deviates resources to problems, which do not align with the project.
Panic??

Thanks for sharing Mullvad’s stance on the issue. I actually agree a lot on this with Mullvad.
I really like, how their organisation carefully chooses in which battles to participate. And simply decide to participate only in whatever is touching the idea of private and free exchange of information without interference.
Actually so often I would dream more people would have such a focus. It gives them the ability to use their limited resources on what matters the most to them.
People and organisations that react onleverything are wasting a lot of energy.
