Well, folks, I’m starting to see the light at the end of this data tunnel. After a seemingly endless 12-hour format, my stubborn SSD finally decided to cooperate. With that hurdle cleared, I dove headfirst into the world of data migration.  Last night was a whirlwind of activity: changing to a new bed, data copying, and a valiant battle against a pesky mosquito net. I managed to keep my sanity intact until around 2 am, when sleep finally claimed me. But let's not forget the culinary highlight of the evening: *Wali Maharagwe* - a simple yet satisfying rice and bean dish that hit the spot perfectly. Check out this photo, it's a local favorite and incredibly affordable. This morning, I woke up feeling not really refreshed and still tired, but ready to conquer the remaining data challenges. After a cold shower, quick breakfast and a chat with a fellow traveler, I’m back at it, transferring data from one SSD to another. Fingers crossed this one behaves itself! One thing's for sure, the temperature has taken a drastic drop compared to the warmth of Mombasa. I'm grateful for my trusty fleece as I shiver my way through the day. It's a stark contrast to the 27 degree Celsius I was enjoying just a short distance away. So, while I continue my data wrangling, I hope you all are enjoying a relaxing Sunday. Stay tuned for more updates on my progress!  ### Online [Profile Page](https://rubenstorm.de.cool/) | [Support Page](https://rubenstorm.12hp.de/) > If you'd like to show your appreciation, you can send a tip via the Lightning Network to rubenstorm@sats.mobi.

This is going to be a sort of long one (or maybe it won't?), because I have a lot of thoughts as a tech and social media enthusiast, and some of those thoughts have to do with how I feel about the direction that social media is moving in. How I feel about Mastodon, and Nostr, side-by-side, and what the biggest problems with Bluesky are. So, let's jump right the heck in ... _**Nostr, the misconceptions, and the truth**_ I recently wrote about [Nostr](https://cmdr-nova.online/2024/07/11/nostr-the-strangest-and-clunkiest-twitter-replacement/), and its relayed protocol of user-owned identity that you can take ... wherever. I outlined a lot of thoughts and impressions I initially had, and then what I wrote went to Reddit, and then it found itself on Nostr. It got there entirely outside my own involvement. I posted to Mastodon, and almost nowhere else. This inspired me to log back in, and set some things up (such as domain verification from one of a few domains I own), and then I explored a bit. I interacted with people, participated in some community events that came up spontaneously, and really dug into the extreme multitude of features that run across the Nostr network. Let's just say, I was pretty floored, and _some_ of the impressions I had were wrong. Such as thinking that a place that is more centered around the idea of lacking censorship, or robust moderation, _must_ be filled with toxic, horrible trolls. In the couple of days I've been messing with the network, I think I've muted like one person who said some off-the-wall shit in my notifications. But ... I think Nostr has nasty people just in the same way Twitter, Threads, and Mastodon do. They exist, and they always will, no matter where you go. Suffice to say, I learned a lot about what decentralization was, and now is. I was given [an article](https://shreyanjain.net/2024/07/05/nostr-and-atproto.html) by user nostr:npub1njst6azswskk5gp3ns8r6nr8nj0qg65acu8gaa2u9yz7yszjxs9s6k7fqx that gave some really in-depth information about the emergence of decentralization--Scuttlebutt, ActivityPub, and then ATProtocol, and Nostr. I'm not going to lie, I originally started writing this as a hit piece against Bluesky, thinking their ATProtocol was just a riff of what Nostr was doing. But, _apparently_, both ATP and Nostr were developed independent of each other, and mostly without any knowledge of one or the other. I think that's ... actually pretty wild, and strange. On the topic of decentralization, which is something I feel is integral to the future of the internet, I now understand Mastodon to be a place of islands, and decentralization that occurs in a way that's more like isolated communities talking to other isolated communities. Like the latter half of The Walking Dead. In a way, it's decentralization, the half-measure. The full-measure, that comes with some iffy trade-offs some may not like, is Nostr, and ATProtocol. You take your identity, your thoughts, your posts, and you move freely between pieces of software, and networks, and you lose _nothing_ (this is nearly the direct opposite of Mastodon, where moving to a new server means burning everything you've ever posted, to the ground). And, honestly, I'm kind of starting to feel like that's _how it should be_. The downside, is that, on Nostr, you have a public key, and a secret key. Your secret key is something you use to log in and sign events coming from your account, and your public key is basically your identity. That's not the iffy part, though. The iffy part, is that people can use your public key to see all of your data _except_ direct messages (which are encrypted). Not entirely _too_ scary, unless you're doing a lot of weird things on your account. But definitely something you should know if you decide that this is a journey you want to take, and you're not jaded from hearing about how much Jack Dorsey loved Nostr and it's Bitcoin affiliation (a lot of people across different platforms hold a lot of dislike for the man). _At this point, I'm less worried about the power consumption of BTC transactions, and have more shifted that focus to content farms from the likes of Microsoft and Nvidia buying up all the AI tech they can get their grubby little hands on_. That aside, I'm not writing this to blow smoke up the Bluesky developer's butts. I, in fact, am not favorable of Bluesky and there are some specific reasons for that. Maybe this spells their downfall, or maybe they'll be a tight-knit community that doesn't really expand all that much, _forever_. _**Bluesky, the Apple of social media**_ Bluesky is a place that a couple million people call home (I think, last I saw, it was around 6 million or so). There's no algorithm, and much like Nostr, you own your identity. Except, for now, that's _mostly_ tied to the website's central server. Now, obviously, there are far less people populating Nostr, but Nostr and its relays are able, and _are_ connected to both ActivityPub and Bluesky (just, not through ATProtocol). Most of what you'll see on bsky.app are quite a few furries, an actually impressive population of Second Life users, and _quite a lot_ of LGBTQ+ people. None of these things or communities are inherently bad. In fact, I think they're probably the _only_ reason Bluesky is really alive at all, today. My angst and negative feelings about the direction of Bluesky have nothing to do with the LGBTQ+ community, or any other community residing on the platform. The issues I mainly hold have to do with how far up their own asses the board and developers are, in regard to the platform, and its development over the past year or so. This is why I _kind of_ think of them as the Apple of social media. And you might think, "Hey, don't you _own_ like a billion pieces of Apple tech?" Yeah, I do. But this is more like if Apple skipped over having Steve Jobs and just went straight to some random guy who didn't know what he was doing. You know, like putting up a wall and locking out all potential users _for a year_, and keeping all new sign-ups under lock and key via exclusive codes. As you might imagine, having that walled-garden erected through six or seven different events where people were leaving Twitter in droves, _very likely probably_ worked _against_ the social network's best interest. Mainly, because Threads came out of absolutely nowhere, and sucked up _most_ of those users. That's only _half_ of the issue, though. The other part to all of this, is that the developers I see directly _on_ Bluesky do not recognize or acknowledge this _at all_. Paul Frazee, whose influence goes back quite a bit further than Bluesky, posts as though it's the greatest platform _ever made_ (maybe just because he's a developer for Bluesky). But the website, despite its six million some-odd users, _feels_ almost completely dead. Which is _ridiculous_, because, as I've said, Nostr has far less users than that, and it most definitely doesn't feel dead when you post. Not to mention, we're over a year into Bluesky, and it still, more or less, is propped up to look, feel, and act just like Twitter did in 2014. ATProtocol, in this respect, still feels mostly like an afterthought that's inaccessible to most users. Meanwhile, if you _really_ like Nostr, you can get going with your own chunk of the network immediately, [with about a page](https://docs.soapbox.pub/ditto/install) of install commands. It's this mixture of grandiosity that emanates from Bluesky, and the blunder of keeping their doors closed through one exodus after another, that I think they've shot themselves in the feet so much that they now don't have feet. They have stumps. But, if you've followed me all the way through this article, I _think_ there's a way they can blow the doors open. But, then they'd have to sort of abandon their idea of the ATProtocol, and stop trying to be the center of social media they most definitely are not, and probably never will be. And, really, that's the final issue I have with Bluesky and the ATProtocol. It _feels_ like they're trying to do Nostr, but be corporate-owned. Bluesky doesn't feel like it's owned by the people, developed by the people, and run by the people. It feels like it's run by some suits, who give the impression that the people will have their freedom, _as long as they say it's okay_. And that, my buddy ol' pal, just ain't okay. _**The elephant and the ostrich**_ Which brings us squarely back to Mastodon, and Nostr. Both platforms have their own merits. Nostr is about controlling your own content, and what you see, and largely eschews censorship to a high degree. But everyone can see almost everything you do and are talking about, whenever they want. Mastodon, on the other hand, puts the tools into a user's hands to _create_ a network, and build their own communities, while picking and choosing _who_ those communities interact with. A network that ... encourages users to police everyone around them ... which is how we end up with tyrannical admins acting like they work in a prison, and they've just been promoted to Warden. If only there were some way to take the best parts of both of these animals, and make them _one_. An elephrich. For now, though, I am at least pretty content to screw around with both while I feel around and see what sticks. In the age of corporate control and censorship so heavy that people can't even say "kill" or "suicide" any more (these are only two of the most egregious examples I can think of), I think it's healthy to explore your options, and cement your identity, and who you are online, before everything else we've come to know is lost _completely_. If that's something you care about, at least.

@ f0aca767:dce3306e

Mastodon is obviously an already established and semi-well known social network--A user-owned network of communities. But one of the biggest issues I always see the corporate social media denizens talk about, is that the loss of content when moving instances (sometimes, _you have_ to do this) is one of the biggest turn-offs. And that's definitely something I can attest to. If I were still on mastodon.social, from my humble posting-beginnings in 2017, I'd have a post history longer than five football fields and probably plenty to cringe at. The question remains: _Why haven't we been able to take this history with us_ ... if every instance you've ever been federated with is _keeping that data._ What do I mean by this? Every single time you post on Mastodon, your words get pushed out to other instances (servers), and in order for people to be able to read what you said, a copy of it is downloaded _onto that server_. It does this very quickly, so quick that it seems as though it happens in real-time. And, for all intents and purposes, I'm not inclined to believe that it doesn't. If you've ever had an account on an instance that isn't mastodon.social, and you have a posting history, and you remember your username: Go over to [mastodon.social](https://mastodon.social), create a burner account, and then search up that username. Yeah, you see that? Your entire body of posting-work is still there, even if you deleted your account, even if the instance you were on is long dead. _This is obviously not true for every server. Some choose to delete old content to make space for the new, but there are many Mastodon servers out there retaining everything ever posted, like mastodon.social._ But what point am I trying to get at here? As far as you're probably concerned, even if that data still exists, and your account, and instance does not, you can't access it, right? You can't reclaim everything you've said and done, and put it back where it belongs: Under _your ownership_. Or, what if you could? If you've been following my posting history on here in the past week, I've been [screwing around with Nostr](https://cmdr-nova.online/2024/07/11/nostr-the-strangest-and-clunkiest-twitter-replacement/), and [musing about Bluesky](https://highlighter.com/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzpu9v5anc855x7htnx6cj3zy0thel9x0qwxtnatcru5sqj8wwxvrwqqk9w6re94pxcat9wd4hjt2hd9kxct2swfhkyctzd3uj6nn9wejhyt2zv5k5japdxpnn2ut8wquxpwtd). Two networks using a similar protocol, that I feel are getting the idea of what I'm thinking of here, only about 75% correct. Bluesky's problem, is that the protocol is owned by ... the _owners_. The corporation. Your keys report to _their_ server, and in return, so does your content. A central server that has a lot of different keyholes. Not really the optimal experience, because you can't create your own server, and build your own community, and _survive_ if the main Bluesky datacenter goes out, right? The only thing you can do is host your own software that essentially just holds keys and content, and, as far as I know, all of that will be worthless if the devs ever go offline with the main server. So then there's Nostr, where all of your data lives everywhere on the network, and as long as you have your keys, you can use _any_ app that utilizes the protocol, and continually access everything you post, _forever_. You can't be banned, but you also can't block anyone. And any random stranger can take your _public key_ from your profile, and view your entire everything (as I've said before). I would say this is also not really that optimal. The idea is great, but the execution trades privacy for extreme versatility. This brings us back to Mastodon, which is still in active development, still receiving new features, and ... well, kind of also only has the whole thing about 75% correct. There's that last little bit we're missing here. The user should have the option of a community, a personal community _away_ from what's viewed to be the central Mastodon server **and** have their privacy, _but_, they should _also_ be able to retain their posts, and their bookmarks, and their likes, and their lists, and _everything else_. How do we accomplish this? Keys. The entire fediverse (for the most part) _already has all of your content_. So, if every user had a key tying them to that content, no matter where you're located, be it mastodon.social, or mkultra.monster, then you could just go wherever you want? That's the idea, at least. Your content becomes immortal, immutable, and that's the one missing puzzle piece to ActivityPub. I am 100% sure of this, and I don't know what the developer stance is on the topic of keys and immutable data, but I fully believe this is something that should be on their roadmap. Yes, storage space is a concern ... but holding onto the text content of a post is much easier, and smaller in size, than holding onto larger pieces of data (like photos, and videos). If you scrolled back to five years ago and found something you posted, but the only thing you could see was the text, would you be all that disappointed? I guess that part is subjective. Mastodon is already setup nearly identical to Nostr, except users live _on the relays_. So just ... add user generated keys to the mix, and I am 100% double-dippin' certain that most of the naysayers being spammed by engagement farming on Threads and Twitter will jump ship. Mark my worms. If it isn't. Well. They're making a huge mistake.

Another day, another adventure in tech hell. Let’s start with last night. I was hoping to get some inspiration from an audio story before bed, but my brain decided to short-circuit. Woke up at 4 AM with headphones still on, no recollection of the story, and a general sense of disorientation.  Fast forward to this morning, I managed to escape the dorm for a quick shower and some much-needed coffee. Feeling somewhat human again, I tackled the beast that is my external SSD. It’s a 1TB behemoth that decided to be extra dramatic this morning. I’ve been staring at a “12 hours to go” message for what feels like an eternity. Who knew formatting a drive could be such a suspenseful ordeal? This drive has been giving me trouble lately. It’s like it has a grudge or something. Constantly going into read-only mode, refusing to save large files. I think my 25,000 travel photos might be a bit too much for it. It’s not even that old! I switched from a heavy HDD to this thing for portability, and now it makes me trouble. I’m hoping that once this formatting nightmare is over, I’ll have a happy, healthy SSD. I’ve decided to format it as exFAT, so at least it should be compatible with everything. But then I have two more drives to deal with. This is turning into a full-blown data relocation project. Why didn’t I do this when I was chilling in Kilifi? Oh well, at least the weather is improving. Yesterday was the coldest day since I’ve been in Africa. Even my trusty fleece got some use. Wish me luck on this digital odyssey!

It's been a while since I've scolded everyone for their miserliness. The recent archiving of some popular territories inspired me to make another attempt. Plus, there are quite a few new stackers who haven't been scolded, yet. I'll keep this one short and sweet: 1. Territory owners need to make about 100 kilosats per month. 2. They earn their sats through posting fees. 3. OP's need to recoup their posting costs through zaps. Therefore, when there's content you like, zap big and zap often. If there's a lack of content you like, cowboy up and write it yourself. We just might make it worth your while. Zapping more can pay for itself through the rewards system (see: https://stacker.news/items/287074/r/Undisciplined and https://stacker.news/items/473181/r/Undisciplined) Also, zapping more will make Stacker News more aligned with what you want it to be: https://stacker.news/items/523858/r/Undisciplined. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/614066

Just started looking into powdered mushrooms and was wondering if stackers have used or use any for supplementation. I have previously tried Lion's mane and chaga, and since haven't but am interested in playing around with them again. Cordyceps does sound interesting, if anyone has any experience taking them. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/613694

 Each relay selects a branch from above and starts serving. Some big machines in the top layers can handle more. Smaller machines in layers below are needed for decentralization and scalability. Some top layer machines can act in sync only mode, efficiently distributing notes among layers. Relay or the admin posts a special kind for advertisement of the relay: ``` { "pubkey": "...pubkey of admin or the relay itself..", "kind": 30202, "tags": [ ["d","..10"], ["ip4","111.222.33.44:443","primary"], ["ip6","abc:def::443","backup"], ], ... } ``` The above example says this relay will handle the note id's that are ending with bits ..10. In this case it is going to handle about 1/4th of the network. Primary way of reaching at this relay is through ip 111.222.33.44. There is also a backup server. Clients can accept this advertisement based on web of trust or historical reliability of the npub. Or other npubs can measure the reliability of this relay and send reactions to this note. Clients then can see these reactions and rank these services. Solves: - Possible future DNS ban issues: I don't know when or if DNS will be an issue for Nostr. The above design can help with the situation. - Scalability: If 1 million users join the network at the same time, the machines that are handling ".." i.e. all of the traffic may fail. But if the clients are using relays on other layers, the load will be efficiently distributed to many machines. The failure of layer 0 and 1 will not stop the network. Every layer can operate independently without the other layers (in theory). - Traffic efficiency: A client has to query many relays, depending on what it wants to do. It may choose to stay efficient (talk to top layers) on mobile traffic, or it may choose to help decentralization over wifi. The notes that match the queries will not be repeated as many times as current design, because relays will hold a portion of the network. - Storage efficiency: Relay operators can just save a part of the network that they are responsible for, on NVME drives. The rest of the network they can save in hard drives. In case of major failure the hard drives can still have a copy. - Speed: Since the notes will come from many different relays at the same time, there may be a slight speed increase. - Decentralization: If the top layer relays collude and start banning the other layers can still continue to serve notes. - Backup relay: In case a relay instance fails, users can find the backup server on the same note. - Zero down time migration: The ability to define a backup server allows zero down time migrations. An operator can set the primary to the new server and backup to the old server and do migration and continue without interruption. - Efficient sync among servers: A relay has to sync with 3 servers, 1 above, 2 below. But it can do 6 or 9 depending on how much reliability it wants. - Writing to logN relays: Clients has to write to logN relays (i.e. 1 relay in each layer), to effectively distribute their notes to everyone and also to help with decentralization.

These are my very preliminary RB rankings, my only research being the [RotoWire depth charts](https://www.rotowire.com/football/nfl-depth-charts/) and player notes. **Tier 1 Christian McCaffrey** He’s 28 years old, has 1,402 career carries including the postseason and weighs only 205 pounds at 5-11. But McCaffrey is arguably the greatest running back all time, when you include the pass catching, and he’s in the league’s best system for backs. Health is really the only variable, and anyone can get hurt. **Tier 2 Breece Hall, Bijan Robinson, Saquon Barkley, Jonathan Taylor** These are the three-down backs with elite skill sets. Hall should be better another year removed from the ACL tear and playing with a better QB, Robinson should get the heavy usage he merits with Arthur Smith gone, Barkley finally gets a quality offensive line and QB and Taylor plays next to a running QB and has little competition for carries. **Tier 3 Jahmyr Gibbs, De’Von Achane, Kyren Williams, Travis Etienne** These are the little guys, all of whom can run and catch passes, plus Etienne. Williams is the biggest risk as an early-down high-workload guy, but he was also insanely productive when he played in Sean McVay’s lead-back-friendly system. Gibbs seems like peak Alvin Kamara, only faster and Achane in the Miami offense was the most efficient back in league history by a mile. I originally had Etienne in Tier 4, but he doesn’t have much competition for the job and should be a three-down back. **Tier 4 Isaiah Pacheco, Josh Jacobs, Joe Mixon, James Cook, David Montgomery, Derrick Henry, Kenneth Walker, Racchad White, James Conner, Rhamondre Stevenson, Zack Moss, Javonte Williams, Devin Singletary ** This is a big tier, but these are all the incomplete players guaranteed reps if healthy. Pacheco could be moved to Tier 3, but Patrick Mahomes doesn’t check down to the back all that often, and Pacheco rarely gets to 20 carries in a game. Jacobs is a beast but has a ton of mileage in a short span and fell off last year. Mixon is another old warhorse with a lot of mileage, albeit also in a good situation. Cook suffers due to Josh Allen’s goal-line prowess and tendency to take off rather than check down. Montomgery will cede the third-down work, Henry is old and doesn’t catch many passes, Walker splits carries, gets hurt often, White is a ham and egger who happened to see a huge workload, Conner is 29 and always misses time, Stevenson is a workhorse on a bad team, Moss is an average back in a good spot, Williams is another year off the injury, but on a bad team and Singletary is the clear lead back on a poor offense. **Tier 5 Tony Pollard, D’Andre Swift, Jonathan Brooks, Alvin Kamara, Brian Robinson, Jaylen Warren, Austin Ekeler, Chuba Hubbard, Zamir White, Raheem Mostert, Aaron Jones, Najee Harris, Nick Chubb, Tyjae Spears, Trey Benson, Zach Charbonnet ** These are mostly timeshare backs, with the exception of Kamara whose efficiency fell through the floor and White who I’m not convinced will lock down the job all year. **Tier 6 Kenneth Gainwell, Rico Dowdle, Gus Edwards, Jerome Ford, Zeke Elliott, Roschon Johnson, Jaylen Wright, Bucky Irving, JK Dobbins, Antonio Gibson, Chase Brown, Elijah Mitchell, Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Algeier, MarShawn Lloyd** This is the backup tier, all of whom probably need an injury ahead of them to break out. These rankings will change, but I like to get my preliminary ones down on paper before I get influenced by ADP and training camp hype.

@ a9434ee1:d5c885be

What makes Nostr and Bitcoin so extremely exciting to me, as a designer, is that they offer an entirely new design space. Something we never had before. Something that we can, for the first time ever, call… A Free Market. And not just that, but one where everyone speaks the same language. One that acknowledges that Sovereignty doesn’t go that far without Interoperability. Since this is literally a first, it seems terribly naïve to assume that we can just copy what works for Big Tech’s walled gardens and add some Freedom sauce on top. I’ve been sketching out things like “Twitter but with Zaps”, “Youtube but with many algo’s”, “Patreon but with Bitcoin”, etc... for long enough to realize the harsh limits of such an approach. Instead I’ve found it more fruitful to start by looking at the characteristics of this new digital, interoperable free market and, only then, look for similar existing benchmarks that can serve as inspiration. Because the convergence of the various Freedom Tech protocols (Nostr, Bitcoin, Cashu, …) are such a huge game changer for online monetization specifically, it seems even more naïve to just start copying Big Tech on that front, without proper examination. If we did just play copycat, Monthly Subscriptions and Paywalls would be the obvious answer. This article dives into why they’re not. ## Free as in Competition In a free market, it’s going to be hard for you to set a price if you don’t have something scarce to sell. Unlike in a Big Tech walled garden, there’s no one blocking competitors from entering the market. That includes competitors that offer your stuff! If what you create can easily be copied, it will. Yes, Content creators, FOSS devs, Designers, … that’s you. Charging for your article, podcast, app or movie doesn’t end well when people can find a free upload right next to yours. Open protocols remove the friction of having to go PirateBay for that sort of stuff. Luckily, they also remove the friction for people to value your content directly (#V4V Zaps) and for you to launch unique and scarce products related to what you do (Community, Merch, …). Even if you have a scarce product to sell though, Nostr sets the bar lower than ever for others to start competing with your product. Every part of your product! Interoperability breaks products and services down to their constituents and opens up every layer of the stack to competition. Currently most SAAS business models are basically very expensive monthly subscriptions for some hosting and computation. And guess what Nostr is extremely good at → Discovering and switching providers of hosting and computation. In a competitive context like that, you need a monetization model that lets you adapt fast. If you choose to monetize with monthly subscriptions, you’ll be updating your subscription tiers every month, if not every week, just to remain competitive. If that’s the case, then what’s the point? Why not just have a cash price list? ## Free as in Volatile The reality of a free market is that price-discovery never takes a break. This is especially true for a market that uses a money that is still being discovered as money by 99% of the world. A money that, just like Nostr, only saw the light of day because its creators saw total chaos ahead without it. Bitcoin and Nostr do #fixthemoney and do #fixtheinternet, but all that fixing isn’t exactly taking us on a smooth ride. Smooth rides are stable rides, stable prices, stable amounts of locked-in users, stable ties with the state, etc… They are everything Freedom Tech is taking us on exciting journey away from. Again, adaptability is key and your business model needs to reflect that. Monthly subscriptions don’t handle volatility well. It takes a lot of confidence, extremely loyal customers and liquid reserves to survive bumpy roads. That’s a lot of capital that probably has better uses. Better uses that Big Tech monopolies can ignore, but your competitors won’t. ## Free as in “Number Go Up” Denominating your subscriptions in “stable” fiat-currencies isn’t going to help neither. The mental cost for customers is only low as long you don’t have juggle more than 21 subscriptions. (yes, I completely made up that number but it’s somewhere around that, so bear with me). Given that Subscription Hell is already a thing in Fiat-land once you go beyond that number, just try to imagine the amount of subscriptions you’d be handling in Nostr-land. Your 1 Netflix subscription suddenly became 6, to different service providers, plus 20 to all your favorite creators. Then add the subscriptions for all other internet use cases you can think of. Then add some more for the ones that you can’t even imagine yet. This is not an overstatement. It is very very unlikely that your service happens to be the only one that subscriptions would work for. If they appear to work for you, every competitor or similar use case will be copying that model in no time. So if they work, there would be a loooot of subscriptions. That’s also a looot of: - recurring payments to forget about - different time periods to oversee - extra effort to go and unsubscribe or switch tiers - users thinking ‘I didn’t even really use this!” - users also thinking “What am I paying for exactly?” In short, that’s asking for frustrated, disappointed and confused customers. These subscriptions would then also need to be handled on top of all the #V4V Zaps and cash payments that are inevitably happening as well. Unlike Big Tech products you don’t get to just pick Subscriptions as the only option. You will have to be optimizing both the Wallet and Social UX/UI for all of these types of payments. Something I naïvely tried and quickly gave up on. It overcrowds interfaces, makes different applications less interoperable and creates a very confusing user experience. And if you denominate everything in fiat, you add even more confusion since the Zaps from others are denominated in Bitcoin. That suddenly makes them variable from the fiat-denominator’s perspective. Other denominations work when you only have two parties (f.e. seller and buyer), not when you have groups of people zapping away at an article. For #V4V to gain traction zappers need recognition. If it’s completely variable, and thus unclear, who the top zappers of a piece of content are or if the biggest patrons of a creator are only visible if you go to some specific subscriber dashboard, you’re creating confusion and diluting recognition. Zaps are awesome, nearly universally implemented, very simple to design for and they might just be enough. We’re mostly still early. Creators can’t even reply to Zaps yet. The first prototypes for frictionless Cashu zaps are only just coming out. Let’s explore all that further before we start adding subscriptions to the UI, the users’ mental load and the app developers endless list of “things to implement”. If the current zap-rate of daily Nostr users (myself included) tells me anything, it’s that sending around small payments all the time isn’t really the issue. The mental cost for the user happens mostly at the level of: ”How the f*ck do I keep track of all this?” “How do I fit this in with my regular monthly expenses?” Subscriptions are only one answer to this. If they happen to still somehow solve the above issues for some use cases, we still have to find solutions anyway for the micro-payments side of things. My point is thus mainly: we might as well start there and, who knows, we don’t even need subscriptions. Or at least not as a standard to strive towards. No one is stopping you from using time-based pricing for things that are actually time-based or from creating micro-apps that let you set up recurring zaps and other fun stuff like that. Just don’t promise creators and merchants that they can base their business models on them. If you’re talking to people that will only consider Freedom Tech if they can have the stability of a group of monthly subscribers, you’re probably not talking to the right people (yet!). Freedom Tech = Responsibility Tech. Both seller and buyers need tools that help them take that responsibility. Especially regarding payments, the currently available tools are far from optimal and have barely scratched the surface of what’s possible in the interoperable ocean of possibilities. I say this more as an invitation than as a complaint of course. We are — yes, I’m saying it again — sooooo early. So how can we help buyers be responsible while “not having to think about every little payment”? For rich npubs on a network denominated in #NGU technology the answer can be quite simple: They simply don’t have to really think about it. In fact, poor npubs neither as long they can set a spending budget and have great tools and transparency to help them manage it. They need something a bit like their “lives left” in a video game. Or something that resembles envelope budgeting: like going to the farmers market with only a limited amount of cash. ## Talking about farmers markets Let’s look at what currently comes close to an interoperable free market in meat-space: Restaurant & Farmers markets. - No one has copyrights on pizza Margherita or chicken eggs - Entering the market is relatively cheap (food trucks, farmer stands, …) - Customers can pick and choose where they get “every layer of the stack” (drinks here, main dish there and ice cream over there)  Now look at how these businesses monetize: - Cash price lists - Discounts (for special occasions, loyal customers, ..) - Bundles (lunch menus, vegetable baskets, …) Both restaurant owners and farmers have been trying out monthly subscriptions since forever, mostly because it would benefit them. But in places with high competition this has had exactly zero success. What did have success is services that bundle farmers market food items for you and deliver it at your doorstep on a weekly basis. That’s what lower mental cost looks like. Ironically, these services often started out with the monthly subscription model and have had to switch because customers needed more flexibility. Now, in their apps, they let users pick what day they want what, at what price. And these apps are not even Nostr yet. ## Talking about Nostr markets Nostr markets are not exactly farmers markets of course. But that is mostly good news. Nostr, Bitcoin and Cashu, in particular, remove a lot of the friction that cash still has in the physical world. They enable seamless micro-payments. That’s an innovation worth embracing, not something to hide away behind subscriptions. Embracing micro-payments means that every little thing can have a real-time price. A price that, once payed, you never have to think about again. And some, if not most, micro-payments are so micro that you don’t have to really think about them in the first place. Especially if we’re talking about recurring events (pun intended). If a chat message in a certain Community costs 2 sats, after your third message your added mental cost will likely be close to zero. At that point, the price is mostly a matter of transparency, fairness and spam prevention. When the Admin suddenly changes this price to 1000 sats however, you will need to think twice about posting such a message. But again, that is a good thing. That’s exactly what the Admin is monetizing. He is curating for high signal content and conversations around a certain interest. His price list is one of his top tools for doing so. You pay him for being able to publish in his unique community. You “Pay Per Use” of that Community as a broadcasting channel for your messages, articles, videos, … You know everyone else does too. Using monthly subscriptions for such a community would just invite abuse and poor quality. It would be like an all-you-can-eat restaurant where everyone has an infinite stomach size, you’re all at the same table and only the loudest screamers get heard. So the Admin would put limits on what you specifically get for your subscription (100 messages per month, 210MB of hosting, etc etc…). The members would then demand flexibility or go elsewhere. The admin would then provide different tiers. Yet, most members would still need flexibility more than they need flat rate monthly pricing. At the same time, the Admin’s “Pay Per Use” competitors will still be cheaper. They don’t have the overhead of handling the uncertainty that comes with providing stable pricing for several months. Trying their offer out is also way cheaper than immediately having to pay a subscription. The admin, on the other hand, cannot really offer free trials if he doesn’t have the locked-in users to pay for them. In the end, just like restaurants, the Admin will switch to “Pay Per Use” and will use discounts and bundles to his advantage. As long as users have great tools to keep an eye their spending, this sort of outcome is a win-win for the whole ecosystem. What users tend to like most about monthly subscriptions for something is the guarantee that they will not exceed XXX amount of money on that thing for the month. Nothing is stopping us from building tools that provide the same guarantee without the complications of handling monthly subscriptions. Since most Bitcoin wallets are not daily-spending wallets and most Nostr projects aren’t monetizing yet, hardly any attention has been spent on tools like this. They all copied bank apps and display your total amount of money and a chronological feed of your transaction history. There are several problems with this: 1. You don’t want to openly showcase your total balance to everyone around you when you open the app 2. Your total balance shows “everything you have”. That is a terrible benchmark for determining “what you can sustainably spend”. 3. It’s also a terrible benchmark for determining “what you earned this month” 4. Micro-payments make a chronological feed of all your transactions completely unusable 5. Zaps make a lot of your transactions social. Zaps and eCash blur the line between money and message. And messages require interaction that transactions don’t. I think we can do better. So, let’s try! ## Cash Budgets Just like the previously mentioned “lives” in a game or the cash in your wallet for a night out, the first thing users will want to see is “How much do I have left?”. Since most people organize their budgets per month we can more specifically turn this into “How much do I have left this month?”. This means we need to allow users to set a monthly budget in the first place. Once that budget is set for the month, it facilitates all the rest. This budget is their subscription now. Their Nostr subscription. An interoperable subscription they can interact with in any trusted app.  And the best part: They pick the price. They’re taking their responsibility and lowering their mental cost with one action. Now, you can start playing with wallet and home screen Interfaces that show the user at a glance: - What they’ve got left to spend for that month - What they already spent - What they earned (relative to that budget and/or a specific earnings goal) I’m currently exploring this design space myself and the extent to which Freedom Tech budgeting can be gamified in novel ways will make TikTok look boring.  > Some baby UI steps in this direction But that’s just the budget part of course. We still need non-intrusive ways to display all these little price-tags for things if we’re not hiding them away behind a subscription. The good news is that, when it comes to movies, music, articles, posts, FOSS apps and all other types of information that can easily be copied, it doesn’t have a price tag. It just has people zapping it. People that can use a lot more context and recognition than they currently get. (showing top zappers everywhere and letting creators reply to zaps being just a humble start for that) For the stuff that does have price-tag, even the most obvious answer isn’t as bad I though it would be: Just put it on the button. The bigger the sum, the bigger the button.  eCash is what can make all of this work as a one-button action anyway, removing most of the friction. A budget, on the other hand, is what can remove most of the worrying. Color indications, permission prompts for higher amounts, etc etc… can all work in tandem for this. With these examples I’m mostly trying to give you an idea of what is still left largely unexplored territory. A territory that we will have to go and explore in any case. A territory where Communities are easier to monetize then Content is. A territory where I can count the current number of active designers on both hands. A territory that can desperately use a Design Community. You can guess twice what’s next on my todo-list….

Hi all! Lately I've been working on a small python project to try approaching the pathfinding problem in lightning as a Min-cost network flow problem. I know Renè Pickhardt already used this approach in order to prove the superiority of the Zero base fee approach, in fact I read his papers and got the gist of it. Now I'm trying to model the problem mathematically - using the pyomo package in python - but I came up with a question that I couldn't find an answer for: **in a multi-path payment (MPP), can two HTLCs go though the same channel?** More specifically, I'm interested in understanding if the following situation can happen or not: ``` Nodes = {S, A, B, C, E, F, G, I, D} # S source, D destination ``` With S being the source node (aka the payer), D being the destination node (aka the payee). The scope of the question does not include considerations about base or rate fees. Node S computes the optimal path that minimises the fees for an amount and finds out that the optimal choice is to execute a MPP that follows this path(s): ``` B E A -> -> -> G -> D C F h0 h1 h2 h3 h4 ``` where the first two hops (h1 and h2) see two parallel payments going on, then at the hop h3 the MPP converges to the node G and then procedes with the last hop to destination. As far as I know, in classical MPP the preimage is the same for every parallel path (correct me if I'm wrong), thus I'm wondering if that thing is possible or not. Moreover, if there was an another hop such that: ``` B E A -> I -> -> -> G -> D C F h0 h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 ``` would that be possible too? That meaning two HTLCs flowing in the same channel for the first hop, then splitting and the riconverging. Hope the question is clear enough, otherwise I'm open to clarifications. Thanks! originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/612642

NBC reports that a suspicious person was received an hour before a gunman opened fire at former President Donald Trump, a senator said. U.S. officials learned of an alleged Iranian plot to kill Trump weeks before the attempted assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania, sources said, adding that nothing indicated the two were connected. The Department of Homeland Security said its inspector general would investigate the Secret Service's security operation at Saturday's rally. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said that "the buck stops with me" and that the assassination attempt Saturday "should have never happened." That is to say, there are all kinds of threats to Trump's security. But why isn't enough being done to protect it? When Trump wins the election, will the Secret Service really take care of his security? Or are you going to continue ignoring reports and threats to your life? Do some groups want him dead and don't even bother to hide it? That is to say, it is obvious that they want it, but are there no plans to stop an assassination that is announced without any shame? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/612126

Bitcoiners have been saying this for a while. The firearms community needs to adopt bitcoin before they have no other options. Few have headed this advice. I went to YouTube today a saw a video from a very popular firearms training channel called Hickok45. The released a video titled [Bad News - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KWxaOmVNBE) where they let their subscribers know about the uncertainty of their future due to YouTube's new policy banning firearms advertising. YouTube is of course within their rights to do this but that's not a solution to the problem. The problem goes deeper. Credit card processors and companies as well as banks have and could increase their censorship of firearms purchases. Bitcoin fixes this. As far as the video hosting problem there are other platforms that will likely open their doors to these trainers and educators but that isn't good enough. Nostr is new but I see it as the most hopeful solution coupled with bitcoin over lightning. Over the past week I've been experimenting with [satellite.earth](https://satellite.earth/) CDN file hosting service. I've been pretty impressed by it. Its very new but it seems like a real solution to the file hosting centralization problem for Nostr. I've tried in the past to make the case for bitcoin to gun owners and few seem to see the problem. I think this is largely due to their faulty belief in the state. There are some companies that have adopted bitcoin. The only one that I'm aware of is [Fenix Ammunition](https://fenixammo.com/). Anyone aware of others? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/612067

These are my very preliminary QB rankings, my only research being the [RotoWire depth charts](https://www.rotowire.com/football/nfl-depth-charts/) and player notes. **Tier 1** **Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts** I don’t know who Allen will throw to other than Dalton Kincaid, but he needs only 25-ish TD passes to be the QB1 if he stays healthy, given all the rushing numbers. Hurts is second only because he’s not as good in real life, and there’s some small risk of implosion, skills-wise. But 10-plus TDs on the ground creates its own tier. **Tier 2** **Patrick Mahomes, Anthony Richardson, Lamar Jackson** What’s odd about this tier is how different these players are. Mahomes, despite a poor 2023 regular season, gets in because he’s the GOAT, and Andy Reid is a arguably the greatest offensive coach of all time. Richardson could easily be the 1.1, but injury risk and lack of track record give him a much lower floor. Jackson doesn’t get the goal line looks that often, especially with Derrick Henry in tow, but obviously his running gives him a huge lift. **Tier 3** **CJ Stroud, Kyler Murray, Jordan Love, Dak Prescott** Stroud has a loaded receiving corps now with Stefon Diggs on the team, and he’d be my bet to lead the league in passing yards. But he doesn’t run much, and that caps his ceiling slightly. I almost put him in Tier 2 because you can make the case he’s basically Mahomes with 200 fewer rushing yards. Murray is another year off his ACL tear, runs a lot and gets Marvin Harrison. It’s still an open question whether he’s good, though. Love looks like a player, runs a little and has young, developing wideouts. Prescott is in a pass-heavy offense, has an elite WR1 and is the ultimate stat-padder which works in fantasy. (You could just push all four into Tier 2 and make it seven deep, as the cutoff is a bit arbitrary.) **Tier 4** **Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Brock Purdy, Kirk Cousins, Tua Tagovailoa, Jared Goff, Trevor Lawrence** This is the tier of the passing-only QBs with the exception of Herbert who can run, but might be hamstrung by a run-heavy offense, and Lawrence, who might not be good. I would gamble on Herbert’s athleticism and skills nonetheless if he falls into this tier. And Lawrence gets a much-needed rookie deep threat which could open things up. Burrow is Tier 3 if he would stay healthy, but he obviously carries more risk on that front, and I don’t think he’ll run much now. **Tier 5** **Deshaun Watson, Daniel Jones, Matthew Stafford, Aaron Rodgers, Caleb Williams, Sam Darnold, Jayden Daniels, Baker Mayfield, Geno Smith** Watson might be cooked, but there’s still upside if he can run like he used to. Jones has a big ceiling with his mobility and Malik Nabers on the team. Stafford has two top receivers and a great offensive coach. Rodgers is old, but he has weapons now, and Williams has a loaded receiving corps. People might laugh at Darnold in this tier, but he’s mobile and has Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson. If he keeps the job (a big if), he has upside, which is what you want in this tier. Mayfield and Smith are solid and boring, which is also fine if you wait forever on QB. Daniels’ mobility puts him here instead of the scrub tier. **Tier 6 (Scrubs)** **Russell Wilson, Derek Carr, Will Levis, Drake Maye, Raiders QBs, Bo Nix** These are the scrubs. One or two might not turn out to be scrubs, but it’s hard to get excited about any of them. These rankings will change, but I like to get my preliminary ones down on paper before I get influenced by ADP and training camp hype.

@ 6bae33c8:607272e8

These are my very preliminary TE rankings, my only research being the [RotoWire depth charts](https://www.rotowire.com/football/nfl-depth-charts/) and player notes. **Tier 1 ** **Sam LaPorta** He gets his own tier because he’s the only TE for whom there are no red flags. Most TEs do very little as rookies, while LaPorta was a rare exception and should only get better. His competition for targets is perfect — a true No.1 receiver, a play-making field-stretcher and a speedy running back, i.e., defenses have to account for multiple threats, but it’s not too crowded for LaPorta to see 140-odd targets in Year 2. **Tier 2 ** **Mark Andrews, Dalton Kincaid, Evan Engram, Trey McBride, Travis Kelce, George Kittle ** Kelce is the fantasy GOAT, but he turns 35 in October, and age catches up to everyone eventually. Andrews gets hurt a lot, but he should still be Lamar Jackson’s favorite target when healthy. Kincaid might lead the Bills in targets, and in Year 2 could take the leap to TE1. But unlike LaPorta, he hasn’t quite done it yet. Engram caught 114 passes last year, and Calvin Ridley is gone, so I don’t see his role diminishing much. McBride is a rising star in a good situation with only Marvin Harrison, Jr. to compete with for targets. And Kittle is a star when healthy and could see more looks if Brandon Aiyuk is traded. **Tier 3** **T.J. Hockenson, Kyle Pitts, Jake Ferguson, David Njoku, Cole Kmet, Brock Bowers** There’s no doubt about Hockenson’s talent, but the downgrade to Sam Darnold or J.J. McCarthy could be steep. Pitts can *still* be the 1.1 with a competent quarterback, but at this point there’s *some* O.J. Howard risk (great athlete, average NFL player.) Ferguson is just in a great spot with the Cowboys and their thin group of pass catchers after CeeDee Lamb. Njoku looked like a guy who belonged in the first round seven years ago, and it’s not that unusual for TEs to take some time to peak. (Njoku took longer than most, but like Engram, some of that was probably due to poor QB play early on.) Kmet’s got a lot more competition for targets, but also a likely QB upgrade, and he’s still young and on the upswing. Bowers is a home run swing — he might do nothing as a rookie, but could also be the Raiders 1A to Davante Adams out of the gate. **Tier 4 ** **Dalton Schultz, Dallas Goedert, Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith** If I were to get shut out from the top-three tiers, I’d be okay with any of these guys. Schultz will have a role in a top passing offense, even if it’s a secondary one. Goedert has never really put it together, but is still in a good spot in the Eagles top-heavy offense. Freiermuth is a good pass catcher and could see more opportunities with the trade of Diontae Johnson. Smith is a wild card. His floor is basically zero as he could be used to block, but his upside is Tier 2 if the Dolphins indeed make him the No. 3 option in their fast-paced offense. **Tier 5 (scrubs) ** **Hunter Henry, Chigoziem Okonkwo, Tyler Conklin, Mike Gesicki** You never know, one of them might bust out, and there are others not listed, but it would be hard to count on these guys. Gesicki intrigues me a bit since he used to be productive, and the Bengals are thin after their star receivers, but they never seem to use the TE much.

**阿巴拉契亚的话题最近很火 我也来谈谈我在那里的四年生活**  (https://www.reddit.com/r/China_irl/comments/1e50743/阿巴拉契亚的话题最近很火_我也来谈谈我在那里的四年生活/) 如题。楼主15岁时来美国读高中，我的学校就位于阿巴拉契亚山脉，号称Allegheny山脉以西最古老的预科学校，也是州内最好的私立高中，学校甚至还有专门的校车路线每天单程四十分钟跨州去接其他城市的day student。如果去看Niche或者reddit上的评价，当地人都会说academically challenging并且升学很好。具体情况暂不表。本文不提美国高中比较普遍的文化问题，皆在作为一个outsider观察所谓rust belt区居民的精神与生活状态。 刚来读书的时候学校所在城市人口还能排到州内第三，刚刚去查已经第四了 (https://preview.redd.it/qdfq6iflgxcd1.png?width=380&format=png&auto=webp&s=6e06e8545b71eed4cfe38faaef6b7145feb3d20e) 学校所在的城市曾是19世纪末美国人均最有钱的城市，但现在去downtown却只能看到一两百年前留下来的各式各样的厂房废墟。由于煤炭和重工业的衰退，城市的就业在各类服务业中达成了一个奇妙的平衡：教育和健康占比gdp 19%，政府15%，贸易交通和公用事业21%，休闲娱乐12%。其实也是国内资源枯竭型城市的一个future outlook了。如此的数据也导致pandemic期间城市内失业率达到了将近16%，而现在最新数据只有3.7%。 23年十月的最新downtown街景，得益于拜登的Building a better America grant，在修路 (https://preview.redd.it/wnu9molznxcd1.png?width=1196&format=png&auto=webp&s=2e2196580945ff8549bf9e2f6bcd8d33d9be2eb9) 废弃工厂 (https://preview.redd.it/o44t4hl7nxcd1.png?width=2544&format=png&auto=webp&s=8c801c1cb7d47613300b28387f2c2c884b1bdeff) 回到学校内，因为学校白人比例过高，作为一个私立学校，即使当地人实际完全不在乎，但学校多年来一直维持一位黑人老师的传统。同理，学校会付全奖给巴哈马国际学生请他们来上学，我们中国学生戏称进口黑人。当然，这一切的一切都只是表面功夫。没有人真正在乎diversity，也没有人在乎自己bubble之外的世界。即使学生的家长们人均会计师律师医生，甚至我的某位当地同学会开着当时最新款的s500来上学，同学们的活动范围依旧局限于tri-state area：度假去virginia beach，购物就近解决。即使每年走读学费要两万美元，依旧只有寥寥几人去过DC纽约，更别提什么加州欧洲甚至更远的地方了。 这些所谓中上层阶级的阿巴拉契亚居民怀揣着他们american small town centric的生活方式，那就更不用提J.D. Vance等种种没有特权的当地白人了。无知，迷茫和傲慢是当地特产，于是在学校被问中国有没有DQ是日常，在超市里被人说you are in america so speak english 更是日常。那种红脖式的传统教育更是在21世纪显得匪夷所思：boarding director会无视欧洲学生吸大麻但按着没要permission出门钓鱼的中国学生的头往墙上砸并让他们go back to China，学生早上迟到会被强迫把学校垃圾桶搬到校后河边倒进河里，目的是被河对岸超市顾客怒骂以“长记性”。 作为曾经的军校，为延续传统，每届freshman感恩节之前一周会被送到一个手机信号只有一格的户外中心做团建，爬树，攀岩，在山里负重徒步，坐在落叶堆上写日记，如此等等。当然，手机每天是要被收走的，每两天固定时间可以去食堂旁边用十五分钟跟家里发条消息。16年11月川普当选时，我们学生们围在common room的那台radio旁边，在这样的播音效果 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkc5ApocI7Q&ab_channel=Serj)里等来了川普当选的消息。我无法形容当地学生听到消息开始欢呼跳舞的情形，甚至到了晚上洗澡时间可以看到橄榄球队alpha male们裹着浴巾在洗澡堂chest bump。唯有年级唯二的其中一个小黑（因为和我一样不受“主流学生”待见，给了我nword pass）独自黯然神伤。 在Junior year的Human Geo课上, 我们有机会和本州senator视频连线。作为班里唯一的中国人，我被老师强行安排当演员，提问他对中国的看法，于是尴尬狼狈不堪的站在摄像头前被狠狠china bad了十分钟。其他一些Environmental Science 或是Contemporary Issues课上更是充斥着什么联合国要强迫美国人不喝牛奶并且限制美国人聚集区域等Conspiracy Theory。btw，这个老白男老师是UPENN Chemistry毕业，因为成绩太差最后去iowa读了phd来高中教书。 最后的Senior year，作为本州最好的高中，抛开中国学生不谈，一届四五十个学生中，只有个位数当地学生真正意义上跨出了所谓的tri-state area，去的学校也更是USC或liberal arts这一类。剩下的大部分会继续留在小城里，在学校方圆几十英里内的几所大学或是去州立读一个学位。和J.D. Vance一样，我最好的当地白人朋友选择marine crop当兵，自此也就不再联系。当然，这位白人朋友也是校内被bully的对象之一，因为坊间传言他是被收养的俄罗斯弃婴。 至此，tldr，阿巴拉契亚区域的事实生活环境与国内的众多资源枯竭型城市类似，但多数居民依旧固步自封，怀揣着对生活变得日益艰难的不满，坚定的持有他们传统的教育和生活理念。与更普遍的传统美国小镇生活不一样的是，因为周边经济环境的持续衰退，这些阿巴拉契亚居民的生活实质上不可持续，面临死局。不过就像J.D. Vance一样，有能力并且真正有意愿跳出bubble打破幻想的，仅仅为极少数。 submitted by /u/Leading\_Software\_163 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Leading_Software_163) \[link\] (https://www.reddit.com/r/China_irl/comments/1e50743/阿巴拉契亚的话题最近很火_我也来谈谈我在那里的四年生活/)\[comments\] (https://www.reddit.com/r/China_irl/comments/1e50743/阿巴拉契亚的话题最近很火_我也来谈谈我在那里的四年生活/) #China_irl https://www.reddit.com/r/China_irl/comments/1e50743/阿巴拉契亚的话题最近很火_我也来谈谈我在那里的四年生活/

Stacker.News if a website that may be familiar to most nostriches. But in case it is not, stacker.news is effectively a forum-style website that functions similar to reddit. But, with the very cool feature that sending sats works as the 'upvote' function. It's a great site, so check it out regardless of what I am about to break down. One of the great features of Stacker News is that you get a custodial lightning wallet with your account. This wallet comes with a lightning address as well. Now, this alone is not unique or entirely useful. What makes Stacker News stand out is the way you can configure this wallet to interact with your self-hosted lightning stack. Now, I'm not just talking about the power user that is running their own node (although they do have useful configuration for those users). But, the lighter users that may be using a mobile wallet, such as mutiny, zeus, blixt, phoenix can use Stacker News to improve their zap receiving game. Before I get into how, I want to highlight two great options to receive zaps via ln address if you are using a 'node in the phone solution.' The two options are zaplocker, provided as a solution for users of Zeus' embedded lightning node wallet, and lightning box, provided as a solution for users of the Blixt embedded lightning node wallet. Here is a summary of these two ln address solutions: - Zaplocker: Zaplocker is an ln address provided for Zeus embedded node users. The way zaplocker works is that the sats are held temporarily in Zeus' node (for up to 24 hours), and once you log into your Zeus app and access the embedded node, you can redeem the sats. This can be made easier by setting your Zeus app to automatically redeem and sats awaiting redemption upon logging in, and there is also a persistent mode that can help the app stay on in the background. If the app is on in the background and you have turned on the auto redemption feature, it will function more or less to automatically receive sats much like a custodial wallet or a node you are running on a server - Lightning Box: Lightning Box is an ln address provided for users of Blixt wallet. The way lightning box works is that, as long as you have a channel opened with the blixt wallet node and it has inbound liquidity, you can receive sats to the lightning box ln address. You have to set blixt wallet to persistent mode as part of using lightning box, which makes it more likely that your app will be running in the background and will successfully facilitate receipt of sats sent to the lightning box ln address. Unlike zaplocker, there is no 24 hour redemption time ; if your blixt wallet is not running in the background when the send is attempted, you will not receive the sats. So, these both sound like great solutions and a pleb need not do anything else, right ? Wrong. Both are not perfect solutions, with the main issue being that even with persistent app settings, the apps will inevitably close because phones seem to do that for one unknown reason or another. Or a connection will be lost, and your app will not be running to receive the sats. Or if you want t run the apps over tor, your very likely to have a connection inturrupted. Now, with zeus you still have 24 hours to open it up, sync up your node and receive but we want to up our game so that a user does not have a chance to lose zaps. Enter Stacker News. By Creating a stacker news account (you can even do so with using your blixt or zeus wallet to log in and create your account!), you now have an ln address you can use in place of your zaplocker or lightning box address. Use that stacker news address for receiving zaps on your nostr account. In your stacker news account, go to the wallet link, and click 'Attach Wallets'. Next, click 'configure' under the ln address option. Input your zaplocker or lightning box address. If you want, you can configure stacker news to withdraw automatically by setting the 'desired balance' to 0 sats. There will be a moment of custody, but it is a few seconds in my experience. So, what have we just done and what's the improvement? Well, zaps you receive are going to be received to your stacker news ln address now. The improvement is that the stacker news node is on all the time, and you do not risk missing payments much like one can expect from say a Wallet of Satoshi ln address. With the configuration we made, the stacker news wallet is going to automatically withdraw sats received to your custody in your zaplocker or lightning box. For example: In the event that you are asleep, and your zeus or blixt wallet is not online for hours while nostriches across the globe are zapping the crap out of your viral post, your sats are sitting comftorably in your stacker news wallet. You will fire up your Zeus or Blixt app, and proceed to watch the sats flow into your custody from your stacker news wallet. The result of this setup is a pleb who is not running an 'on all the time' node can experience a comparable receiving experience with minimal custodial exposure. I encourage any pleb, especially those using zaplocker due to the potential harm it can cause to the lightning network, to consider this setup. Let me know what your experience is or, for users already leveraging the Stacker News ln address, I'd be curious to hear about your configuration. Thanks for reading, hopefully someone finds this article helpful! #bitcoin #lightning #zeus #blixt originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/609313

This post is about my experience switching from ChromeOS to Linux on a refurbished ThinkPad T470s.  ### Starting with a not-so-genuine Windows 10 I wasn't comfortable with the potentially hacked Windows 10 that came pre-installed on my ThinkPad, so I decided to replace it with Linux. My initial goal was to install Fedora, a distro I'd used happily since versions 2 or 3. Unfortunately, the installation failed due to a damaged image on a small USB stick. ### Ubuntu detour and Flatpak frustration With Fedora out of the picture for now, I opted for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. While I liked Ubuntu overall, the outdated snap packages were a letdown. Installing Flatpak for more options resulted in a bunch of errors. ### Back to Fedora, finally! Determined to get Fedora running, I discovered the culprit behind the previous failed installation - a small and corrupted USB stick. With a bigger and healthy USB stick, Fedora 39 went in smoothly, followed by a successful upgrade to Fedora 40.  ### Why Fedora? Fedora has been my trusted Linux companion for years. I switched to Ubuntu around versions 13 or 14, mainly for Ubuntu One and Long Term Support (LTS), which unfortunately got discontinued later. After a life-changing event that required me to relearn basic skills (like walking, reading and writing), Linux felt overwhelming, so I opted for the simplicity of Windows, but I wasn’t happy with it. Eventually, I found myself on a Chromebook for its lightweight and I thought travel-friendly nature. ### Back on Linux with the ThinkPad Now, with the ThinkPad, I'm back in the Linux world. The age of the machine isn't an issue, but I do miss the Nautilus image manipulation plugins I used to have. If anyone knows the package names or a setup guide to enable image resizing via right-click, please share in the comments! ### Bonus: Desktop Environment Dilemma Is it worth installing KDE Plasma alongside Gnome to have a choice at login? Or is it too big of a package? Let me know your thoughts (Pro and Cons) in the comments! **P.S.** My foot is healing, and let's just say some travel food choices weren't the best! It happens when you're on the road full-time. **Images:** My current workspace and a screenshot of my Gnome desktop. ### Online [Profile Page](https://rubenstorm.de.cool/) | [Support Page](https://rubenstorm.12hp.de/) > Feel free to support me by sending some sats via the lightning network to rubenstorm@sats.mobi

The African sun is warming things up here at Kilimanjaro, but there's still a crispness in the morning air. My fleece jacket came in handy after a refreshing shower! I started my day with a perfect combo: coffee and breakfast on the rooftop, with a stunning view as my backdrop.  Speaking of tech, today was dedicated to getting my workspace set up. First on the agenda: Thunderbird, my trusty email client from my Linux days. It took a few hours to wrangle everything, especially the S/MIME encryption. Feeling a bit lost in the weeds, I decided to switch gears and embrace OpenPGP for end-to-end encryption – a simpler solution in my opinion. Just as I finished conquering Thunderbird, Kilimanjaro itself decided to make an appearance! The clouds parted to reveal the majestic peak, and I couldn't resist capturing the moment with a couple of photos. Today's another day with no set plans, just taking things minute by minute. Soaking up the beautiful scenery, the cool mornings, and the positive vibes. As soon as my foot heals, I'll be out exploring the town, snapping photos, and enjoying a delicious coffee at a local cafe.  Speaking of exploring, the world of NFTs has piqued my interest. I have a few on Opensea and WAX Blockchain, but I'm curious – where else are people showcasing their digital art? Let me know in the comments where you buy and sell your NFTs, or if they're just patiently waiting for a better future. I'd love to hear your NFT stories!  Life has a way of taking us on unexpected journeys. So, here's to embracing the unexpected, making the most of each situation, and maybe even finding a small online job to boost my budget. Wishing you all a wonderful day – and remember, don't stress yourself!  ### **Online** [Profile Page](https://rubenstorm.de.cool/) | [Support Page](https://rubenstorm.12hp.de/) > Feel free to support me by sending some sats via the lightning network to rubenstorm@sats.mobi

... something else This is the final image. Or is it? Likely, it is not. I have already started on a *perfect* version of my ***Mother Earth ***painting. Of course, there is no such thing as a **perfect** painting. What I mean is that I already started on a vector version of Mother Earth. You're familiar with vector vs. pixel, right? But let's start at the beginning, not the end. This here is a pic from the sketching phase. I am not one who can just magically and with a few strokes produce an amazing sketch of something that resembles a human. There are artists out there that do this wonderfully. It's amazing but it is not me (unfortunately).  Here I am starting to color in the sketch with a watercolor brush. This is all done in Procreate App on an iPad Pro. The coloring is on a separate layer with the pencil sketch set to multiply to shine through the colors. That's why the pencil strokes now are black. I like that look.  And here, I am almost done. Just need to decide on the background color. And as you can see from the gif and video I didn't really decide. Though at the moment I am favoring that muted pinkish red - LOL  Which color is your favorite?   Here you can see the whole process in a timelapse.

I woke up in my dorm this morning to the sound of rain – a rarity in Africa, but a common occurrence here around Mount Kilimanjaro. The climate is much like a European summer, with comfortable temperatures ranging from 18 to 30 degrees Celsius. Unlike the rest of Africa, this region receives more rainfall, creating a lush and scenic environment.  After a quick shower, I stepped out onto the balcony to find myself greeted by a chilly rain. Not ideal weather for exploring, but it did present a different perspective of the majestic Kilimanjaro. The mountain, often shrouded in clouds, occasionally peeks through, and on a clear day, might even be bathed in sunshine. From this vantage point, it's hard to imagine the countless hikers making their way up its slopes. Did you know that Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest mountain and a dormant volcano, once held a unique title? Back in 1910, during the German Empire, it was considered the empire's highest peak. While Mount Everest holds the title of the world's highest mountain overall, Kilimanjaro takes the crown for the tallest freestanding mountain – any higher peak is likely part of a mountain range or group. Gazing at Kilimanjaro, I'm struck by its history – a single, towering volcano, once a part of the German Empire. Traces of that era linger in Moshi, with some colonial-era buildings, some in disrepair, others beautifully restored. Arusha, another nearby town, boasts an impressive art gallery and a fascinating National Museum. This museum, housed in a former German fort, offers a glimpse into the past. One particularly intriguing resident is a giant tortoise, discovered by German colonists as a hatchling in Kilimanjaro National Park. This living relic has witnessed a century of change, a silent observer of a bygone era.  Today promises to be a relaxing one. I'll spend time soaking up the views from the rooftop, hoping to catch a glimpse of Kilimanjaro in all its glory. On a more practical note, I'm also on the hunt for a remote job to help with some financial constraints. Finding the right opportunity seems to be a bit more challenging than anticipated. As I wrap up this post, the weather has taken a turn for the better. The rain has stopped, the temperature has risen, and the sun is beginning to peek through the clouds. Here's to a wonderful day for everyone – enjoy yours! (P.S. Be sure to check out the photos – one captures Kilimanjaro from yesterday evening, the other is a picture of me with the giant tortoise from my previous trip here in December 2022). ### **Online** [Profile Page](https://rubenstorm.de.cool/) | [Support Page](https://rubenstorm.12hp.de/) > Feel free to support me by sending some sats via the lightning network to rubenstorm@sats.mobi

Anna Britt Agnsäter ผู้อุทิศชีวิตให้โภชนาการ แต่โดนโลกบูลลีเพราะอเมริกา? โลกรับรู้ว่า คุณ Anna Britt Agnsäter (ขอเรียกสั้นๆว่า ป้าแอน) เป็นผู้ที่นำเสนอ ปิรามิดอาหาร คนแรกของโลก และเป็นแบบจำลองที่ทาง USDA นำไปพัฒนาปรับใช้แล้วนำมาเป็น แบบที่ใช้สื่อสารกับคนทั้งโลก ในเรื่องของการกำหนด ประเภทอาหารที่ควรกิน ในช่วงปี 1992-2005 ซึ่งในบทความที่แล้วผมได้เขียนว่า ปิรามิดเวอร์ชั่นที่ป้าแอนคิด กับ ที่อเมริกาเอาไปปรับใช้เป็นคนละตัวกัน แต่โลกทั้งโลกก็บูลลีป้าเอนว่า เป็นสาเหตุของการทำลายสุขภาพคนทั้งโลก ทั้งๆที่ไม่ได้เป็นนักวิทยาศาสตร์ ผมก็เป็นคนนึงที่เคยคิดแบบนั้นครับ และเคยอุทานในใจเบาๆว่า แกเป็นใครนะทำไมถึงนำเสนออะไรแบบนี้มาทำร้ายคนทั้งโลก??? **นานวันเข้า ความคิดอีกฝั่งของผมก็บอกมาว่า ประโยคข้างบนเป็นคำบ่นหรือคำถาม** นั่นสิ!!!!! ถ้ามันเป็นคำถาม มันจะทำให้เราได้รู้จักตัวตนป้าแอนและเข้าใจว่าแกได้ทำอะไรลงไปนะ มันควรเป็นคำถามมากกว่าคำบ่น นั่นเลยเป็นเหตุผลที่ทำให้ผมเริ่มขุดเรื่องป้าแอน Anna Britt Agnsäter มากที่สุดเท่าที่จะทำได้ พร้อมที่จะอ่านกันแล้วใช่ไหมครับ Anna Britt Agnsäter เกิดเมื่อปี 1915 ที่เมือง Älmhult ประเทศสวีเดน (นอกเรื่องนิดนึง เมืองนี้คือเมืองที่ให้กำเนิด IKEA ที่เรารู้จักกันดีเรื่องเฟอร์นิเจอร์ ที่นี่มีพิพิธภัณฑ์อิเกีย ซึ่งปรับปรุงมาจากโกดังแห่งแรกของเขาด้วยครับ) เรียกได้ว่า เกิดในช่วงสงครามโลกครั้งที่1 พอดีเลยครับ ป้าแอน จบการศึกษาที่โรงเรียนสตรี ในเมือง Ystad ก่อนจะเข้ารับการฝึกสอนเพื่อเป็นครูสอนวิทยาศาสตร์ในครัวเรือน (rural domestic science teacher) ในช่วงปี 1930 ที่โรงเรียนวิทยาศาสตร์ในครัวเรือนในชนบทชื่อว่า Rimforsa ก่อนจะได้รับวุฒิการศึกษาการสอนวิทยาศาสตร์ในครัวเรือนในชนบทในปี 1939 จาก Kvinnliga medborgarskola (civic women’s school) จนกระทั่ง ปี 1943 ถึง 1945 เธอได้เดินทางไปทั่ว Norrland (พื้นที่ภาคเหนือของสวีเดน) โดยได้รับเงินสนับสนุนจาก Kooperativa Förbund (เรียกสั้นๆว่า KF หรือ สมาคมสหกรณ์ ก่อตั้งขึ้นในปี 1899 โดยสหกรณ์ผู้บริโภคในท้องถิ่น 41 แห่ง เป็นผู้นำด้านการค้าปลีกในสวีเดนโดยพัฒนารูปแบบร้านค้าใหม่และใหญ่ขึ้น และเป็นหนึ่งในกลุ่มธุรกิจหลักในสแกนดิเนเวีย ในสมัยนี้คำว่าสหกรณ์อาจจะดูเชยๆ แต่ต้องเข้าใจครับว่ายุคนั้นคือความก้าวหน้ามากๆ และต้องมีความรู้รอบด้านทั้งวิทยาศาสตร์ เศรษฐกิจ การเมือง) เพื่อบรรยายให้คนหนุ่มสาวและแม่บ้านฟังเกี่ยวกับวิธีรับมือกับเสบียงที่มีจำกัดในช่วงสงครามที่ตึงเครียด เนื่องจากอยู่ในภาวะสงครามโลกครั้งที่2  **ในปี 1946** ป้าแอนได้รับการแต่งตั้งเป็นหัวหน้าของSwedish Cooperative Union หรือ Kooperativa Förbundets (KF) Provkök (experimental kitchen หรือ ภาษาสมัยนี้น่าจะใกล้เคียงกับ kitchen lab นั่นเอง) ซึ่งเป็นองค์กรที่มีอิทธิพลทางด้านอาหารเป็นอย่างมากในสวีเดน มีบทบาทสำคัญในเศรษฐกิจและสังคมสวีเดน โดยสร้างโอกาสให้แก่สมาชิกและส่งเสริมการพัฒนาที่ยั่งยืนในชุมชนต่าง ๆ ทั่วประเทศ ป้าแอนทำงานที่นี่นานจนถึงช่วงปี 1980 ขนาดของ KF ก็ใหญ่โตขึ้นมากมาย จนขยายอำนาจและขอบเขตการทำงานไปถึงการเป็นคณะกรรมการทดสอบรสชาติซึ่งทดสอบอาหารกึ่งสำเร็จรูปและอาหารสำเร็จรูปใหม่ด้วย ในจุดนี้ ป้าแอน เล็งเห็นความสำคัญและความรับผิดชอบของผู้ผลิต/ผู้ค้าอาหาร ควรจะขยายความรับผิดชอบครอบคลุมไปจนถึงโต๊ะอาหาร (ในที่นี่น่าจะหมายถึงลูกค้า) นั่นคือเหตุผลที่การติดฉลากอาหารจึงมีความสำคัญมาก ป้าแอนได้มุ่งเน้นให้ความรู้กับผู้บริโภคว่า ‘Weigh up the price against the quality’ หรือ ให้ชั่งน้ำหนักพิจารณาให้ดี ระหว่างราคากับคุณภาพ ตลอดระยะเวลาการทำงาน Anna-Britt Agnsäter ได้รณรงค์เพื่อให้มีการแสดงข้อมูล ให้ผู้บริโภครับทราบ เพื่อคุณภาพชีวิตที่ดีขึ้นและได้ให้คำแนะนำด้านโภชนาการ เพื่อให้เข้าใจได้ง่ายขึ้น ในรูปแบบ**ฉลากโภชนาการ** **ในปี 1946** เช่นกันป้าแอนได้มีแผนในการทำ มีแผนที่จะผลิตหนังสือสอนทำอาหารสำหรับสถานการณ์ฉุกเฉิน เพราะบทเรียนในภาวะสงครามโลก ที่ป้าแอนผ่านมาตลอด แต่ไม่สามารถพิมพ์ออกมาได้เนื่องจากกระดาษขาดแคลนเนื่องจากอยู่ในภาวะหลังสงคราม **ในปี 1948-1949** ป้าแอนเดินทางไปอเมริกา เพื่อศึกษาเทคนิคการทำอาหารใหม่ๆ การผลิตภัณฑ์อาหารแช่แข็ง รวมถึงอาหารผงแห้งต่างๆ (dry powder) รวมไปถึงวิทยาศาสตร์การอาหาร (food science) ที่มหาวิทยาลัย Iowa State University การเดินทางมาอเมริกาครั้งนี้เปลี่ยนโลกของป้าแอนเป็นอย่างมาก ในตอนที่ป้าทำงานกับ KF เธอมักจะร่วมงานกับ Hemmens Forskningsinstitut (สถาบันวิจัยในประเทศ) เพื่อจัดหาเครื่องมือในครัวที่ยกระดับมาตรฐานการทำอาหารที่ดียิ่งขึ้น รวมถึงอุปกรณ์การครัว ภาชนะต่างๆที่เข้าเตาอบได้ และจากประสบการณ์ที่อเมริกานี้ ป้าแอนได้จับมือกับ โรงงานเครื่องเคลือบและพลาสติก Gustavsberg และ HFI Anna-Britt Agnsäter พัฒนาช้อนตวง ชุด4ชิ้น ที่วางซ้อนกันได้ ซึ่งเป็นการปฎิวัติวงการอาหารครั้งสำคัญของสวีเดน เรียกว่า **“ชุดช้อนตวงมาตรฐาน”** ซึ่งจะมีการระบุขนาดที่ชัดเจน 4 ชิ้น ประกอบไปด้วย  ซึ่งทำให้ผู้ใช้สามารถวัดปริมาณวัตถุดิบได้อย่างถูกต้องตามที่สูตรอาหารกำหนด กลายเป็นเครื่องมือที่จำเป็นในครัวเรือนและการประกอบอาหารในเชิงพาณิชย์ แม้การพัฒนา “ชุดช้อนตวงมาตรฐาน” นี้จะเริ่มต้นในสวีเดน แต่นวัตกรรมนี้มีผลกระทบที่กว้างขวางและแพร่หลายไปยังครัวเรือนและอุตสาหกรรมอาหารทั่วโลกจนถึงปัจจุบัน   ในชุดช้อนตวงมาตรฐาน original 4 คุณอาจสังเกตคำนึงที่ไม่ค่อยคุ้นสักเท่าไรคือหน่วย **kryddmått** นอกจากชุดช้อนตวงมาตรฐานแล้ว ป้าแอนยังคิดค้นสิ่งต่างๆอีกมากมาย ให้กับวงการอาหารสวีเดน รวมถึงหน่วยวัดใหม่ที่เรียกว่า **kryddmått** นี้ด้วยครับ ซึ่งมันเป็นหน่วยวัดขนาดเล็กที่ใช้ในการตวงเครื่องเทศและวัตถุดิบปริมาณน้อย โดยหน่วยวัดนี้มีขนาด 1 มิลลิลิตร (ml)ซึ่งถูกกำหนดมาเป็นหน่วยที่เล็กที่สุดซึ่งทำให้มีการจดบันทึกสูตรได้แม่นยำยิ่งขึ้น นั่นเพราะว่า การตวงเครื่องเทศ หรือ เกลือ นั้นหากรสชาติที่เข้มข้น หรือมีการใช้มากเกินไปหรือไม่พออาจทำให้รสชาติของอาหารเปลี่ยนไป การใช้ kryddmått ช่วยให้การวัดปริมาณเครื่องเทศที่ใช้ในสูตรอาหารเป็นไปอย่างแม่นยำและสม่ำเสมอ  ถือว่าเป็นอีกผลงานคุโณปการที่ป้าแอน ฝากไว้ให้กับโลกนี้ มันมีส่วนสำคัญในการทำให้งานครัวเรือนง่ายขึ้นและมีประสิทธิภาพมากขึ้นผ่านการพัฒนาหน่วยวัดที่แม่นยำและสะดวกในการใช้งาน นวัตกรรมนี้ช่วยให้การทำอาหารเป็นไปอย่างราบรื่นและมีคุณภาพสูงยิ่งขึ้น  **ในปี 1951** ป้าแอนได้บูรณะหนังสือการทำอาหารประจำสวีเดนใหม่ทั้งหมด (Vår kokbok) จุดประสงค์ของตำราอาหาร Vår คือการนำเสนอตำราอาหารราคาต้นทุนวัตถุดิบไม่แพง ที่ให้ความรู้เรื่องสารอาหารและใช้งานง่าย นอกจากนี้ยังเป็นการวางวัตถุดิบให้ได้รับสารอาหารที่เพียงพออีกด้วย เพราะในยุคนั้นสวีเดนมีข้อจำกัดในเรื่องอาหารเป็นอย่างมาก เนื้อหาสูตรอาหารที่ใช้ในหนังสือเล่มนี้กลายเป็นบรรทัดฐานในช่วงทศวรรษ 1950 โดยมีการใช้หน่วยชั่งตวงแบบใหม่ ตามชุดช้อนตวงมาตรฐาน (ปริมาตร) จากของเดิมที่ใช้การชั่งน้ำหนัก ใช้ศัพท์ในการทำอาหารแบบเป็นสากล เช่น ขูด ปอกเปลือก ล้าง เป็นต้น (grate, peel, rinse) จัดอาร์ทเวิคให้แต่ละสูตร สามารถจบได้ในหน้าเดียวไม่ต้องพลิกอ่านหน้าต่อๆไป ทำให้สะดวกในการเปิดแล้วทำตาม การไล่ลำดับอาหาร เปลี่ยนจากการไล่ประเภทอาหาร ไปเป็นไล่ลำดับตามวัตถุดิบหลักของอาหาร ทำให้คนอ่านสามารถบริหารจัดการเมนูได้ง่าย เช่น ไก่ ก็สามารถไล่เรียงได้เลยว่า วันนี้มีไก่ จะทำอะไรกินดี นอกจากนี้ยังรับประกันว่าทุกสูตรสามารถทำได้จริง เพราะป้าแอนลงมือทดสอบสูตรด้วยตัวเองทุกสูตร นอกจากนี้ยังคงมีการแนะนำให้ใช้การวัดอุณหภูมิในการทำอาหารด้วยเพื่อความเป๊ะในรสชาติ เนื่องจากป้าแอนเห็นตอนไปดูงานที่อเมริกา จนถึงทุกวันนี้ Vår kokbok เป็นหนึ่งในตำราอาหารที่ขายมากที่สุดในโลกด้วยยอดขายมากกว่า 2.3 ล้านเล่มนับตั้งแต่เริ่มต้น โดยเฉลี่ยมากกว่า 40,000 เล่มต่อปี   ด้วยความที่ Kooperativa Förbundets เป็นองค์กรที่มีอิทธิพลสูงมากในวงการอาหารสวีเดน และคุณป้าแอน ก็มีตำแหน่งที่สูงมาก จึงสามารถเป็นผู้มีส่วนสนับสนุนรูปแบบซูเปอร์มาร์เก็ตสมัยใหม่ ในการใส่รายการส่วนผสมและคำแนะนำในการปรุงอาหารในรูปแบบ**ฉลากของผลิตภัณฑ์อาหารสมัยใหม่**  **จนกระทั่งในช่วงปี 1970** ประเทศสวีเดนต้องเผชิญกับปัญหาราคาอาหารที่สูงเนื่องจากเงินเฟ้อ รวมถึงสภาพอากาศของสวีเดนนั้น ไม่เอื้อต่อการได้รับสารอาหารที่หลากหลายได้ ครอบครัวที่มีเด็ก ไม่สามารถปรุงอาหารและรับประทานอาหารที่มีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการในราคาที่เหมาะสมได้ รัฐบาลจึงมอบหมายให้ Sweden’s National Board of Health and Welfare (คณะกรรมการสุขภาพและสวัสดิการแห่งชาติของสวีเดน) หาวิธีแก้ไขสถานการณ์ดังกล่าว และคัดกรองแบ่งประเภทอาหารออกเป็น “basic food” และ “supplement” มาเป็นรูปแบบของ กราฟวงกลม (diet circle) แต่ป้าแอนพบปัญหาบางอย่าง ที่ทำให้กราฟวงกลมนี้ใช้งานยาก เพราะการแบ่งปริมาณของอาหารแต่ละประเภทไม่ชัดเจน ในระหว่างบรรยายเรื่องการกำหนดอาหารพื้นฐาน คุณ Fjalar Clemes หนึ่งในผู้เข้าร่วมการบรรยาย ได้ให้ไอเดียด้วยการสร้างแบบจำลองที่เรียกว่า ปิรามิดอาหาร (Food Pyramid) ขึ้นมา เพื่อให้เห็นภาพสัดส่วนอาหารที่ชัดเจนขึ้น ป้าแอนเลยนำข้อมูลจากกราฟวงกลมนั้น มาสร้างโมเดลจำลองให้อยู่ในรูปแบบปิรามิด โดยให้ “basic food” เช่น ขนมปัง มันฝรั่ง พาสต้า และนม และ “supplements” เช่น ผลไม้ ผัก เนื้อสัตว์ และปลา อยู่ในรูปแบบที่เข้าใจได้ง่ายขึ้น แม้แต่คนที่อ่านหนังสือไม่ออก  แต่นี่แหละที่เป็นจุดเริ่มต้นของปัญหา ด้วยความที่มันใช้งานง่ายสะดวก อเมริกาจึงนำไปปรับปรุงเป็นเวอร์ชั่นตัวเอง แต่ก็มีการเปลี่ยนแปลงไปอย่างมาก ตามที่ได้มีการทำบทความไปแล้ว (อ่านที่นี่) ทั้งๆที่ปิรามิดต้นแบบของป้าแอนนั้น สร้างขึ้นมาเพื่อชาวสวีเดนเนื่องจากนำข้อมูลพื้นฐานจากข้อจำกัดในประเทศในขณะนั้น ไม่ว่าจะเรื่องของวัตถุดิบที่หาได้ในภาวะยากแค้นแบบนั้น อุณหภูมิอันปรวนแปร รวมถึงสภาพเศรษฐกิจที่ย่ำแย่มาก การจัดแจงข้อจำกัดที่มีเพื่อให้ได้สารอาหารที่เพียงพอที่สุดเท่าที่จะทำได้ต่างหาก (eat healthier, more affordable and save on fat) ที่เป็นที่มาของ **“ปิรามิดอาหารของสวีเดน”** *(คือ จะให้เอาอุดมคติมาสร้างปิรามิดอาหาร คงไม่มีประโยชน์ เพราะยังไงก็ไม่มีเงินซื้อและหาวัตถุดิบไมไ่ด้ตามอุดมคติ วัตถุประสงค์ในการสร้างและเผยแพร่ครั้งนี้มันเพื่อให้ประชาชนทั้งประเทศที่มีความรู้ด้านอาหารน้อย รู้และทำตามได้จริง สมกับพื้นที่และกำลังทรัพย์ // ความเห็นส่วนตัวผมครับ)* ปิรามิดอาหารที่แท้จริงแล้ว จะมีการปรับปรุงตลอดเวลา ตามปัจจัยที่เปลี่ยนไป ไม่ใช่ปิรามิดที่เอาไว้ยึดถือตลอดไป แต่การที่อเมริกานำไปยึดถือว่าเป็น all time information เป็นค่าคงที่ให้ทั้งโลกยึดตาม รวมถึงสร้างด้วยเบื้องหลังด้านธุรกิจ จึงต่างกับที่ป้าแอนทำในทุกมิติ แต่ไฉน เป้าการบูลลี จึงต้องไปตกที่ป้าแอน ว่าเป็นต้นตอความพังของสุขภาพ มันแฟร์แล้วหรือ เรื่องนี้มีข้อพิสูจน์ได้จนถึงปัจจุบันเช่น ในปี 2022 ก็มีการนำเสนอ ปิรามิดอาหารสำหรับ Mixed diet, flexitarian, vegetarian และ vegan ออกมาสืบทอดเจตนารมณ์ป้าแอน นอกจากนี้ในช่วงที่ป้าแอนมีชีวิต ก็ยังคงมีการช่วยเหลือแนะนำให้ประเทศต่างๆ **“มีปิรามิดอาหารของตัวเอง”** นั่นคือ วิชั่นที่กว้างไกลของป้าแอน ที่เห็นได้ชัดเจนว่า อาหารพื้นถิ่นกับสารอาหารที่สมดุล ของแต่ละประเทศมีความไม่เหมือนกัน และแนวคิดนี้ได้มีทั้ง เดนมาร์ก, นอร์เวย์, ฟินแลนด์, ญี่ปุ่น, ศรีลังกา ได้นำไปพัฒนาใช้เช่นกัน นอกจากนี้ ป้าแอนและองค์กร Kooperativa Förbundets ยังให้ข้อมูลการศึกษาที่สำคัญสำหรับประชาชนผ่านบทความเกี่ยวกับอาหารที่ตีพิมพ์ใน นิตยสาร Vi รวมถึงการจัดตั้งกลุ่มการศึกษาร่วมกับทาง สมาคมการศึกษาของชนชั้นแรงงาน หรือ Arbetarnas bildningsförbund (ABF) มีส่วนสนับสนุนในการอภิปรายแบบเปิดทางสังคมเกี่ยวกับปัญหาโรคอ้วนอีกด้วย รวมถึงยังออกหนังสือเกี่ยวกับการทำอาหารอีกร่วมๆ 30เล่ม ซึ่งรวมถึงบทเกี่ยวกับมื้ออาหารที่มีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการที่สมดุล ด้วยเช่นกัน  **ในปี 1983 **ป้าแอนได้ตีพิมพ์หนังสือ Matboken ซึ่งได้รับการพิสูจน์แล้วว่าเป็นประโยชน์อย่างมาก โดยเฉพาะกับคนหนุ่มสาวเกี่ยวกับวิธีการกินอาหารที่มีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการและมีวิธีทำที่เรียบง่ายที่สุด  ในช่วงทศวรรษ 1990 เมื่อป้าแอนเป็นม่าย จึงได้ย้ายเข้าไปอยู่ในบ้านพักคนชรา Färdknäppen ใน Södermalm ในสตอกโฮล์ม และ ได้แก้ไขสูตรอาหาร 250 สูตรจาก Vår kokbok เพื่อให้เหมาะสมกับสภาพแวดล้อมการปรุงอาหารส่วนกลางของบ้านพักคนชรา เพื่อให้ได้อาหารที่มีสารอาหารครบถ้วนตามที่ควรเป็น **เกียรติประวัติป้าแอนได้รับการตอบแทนดังนี้** ในปี 1979 ได้รับรางวัลเหรียญ St Erik เพื่อเป็นการยกย่องสิ่งที่เธอทุ่มเทแรงกายแรงใจทำมาตลอดชีวิต ในปี 1993 ได้รับเหรียญ HM Konungens ลำดับที่ 8 (HM The King’s Medal หรือ H.M. Konungens medalj ในภาษาสวีเดน) เป็นหนึ่งในรางวัลเกียรติยศที่สำคัญที่สุดที่มอบโดยพระมหากษัตริย์สวีเดนเพื่อยกย่องบุคคลที่มีผลงานดีเด่นหรือมีความโดดเด่นในด้านต่าง ๆ เช่น วิทยาศาสตร์ ศิลปะ วัฒนธรรม และการบริการสาธารณะ ในปี 1995 ได้รับเหรียญทอง Albin Johansson สำหรับผลงานอันทรงคุณค่าของเธอต่อสหกรณ์สวีเดน ในปี 1998 ได้รับรางวัล Gastronomiska Akademiens Guldpenna (ปากกาทองของสถาบันอาหาร) สำหรับบทความเกี่ยวกับส่วนผสมและการทำอาหารของเธอ  **Anna-Britt Agnsäter เสียชีวิตในปี 2006 (อายุ 90ปี)** ป้าแอนทำงานทั้งชีวิตเพื่อสอนชาวสวีเดนในการจัดการอาหารให้ดีขึ้น ทุกการทดลอง ทดสอบ ได้มีการบันทึกไว้อย่างชัดเจนสามารถพัฒนาต่อไปได้ การริเริ่มให้ข้อมูลที่ซื่อสัตย์ต่อผู้บริโภค ทั้งการติดฉลากอุปกรณ์ คำแนะนำในการทำอาหาร สูตรอาหาร บทความ และตำราอาหาร สิ่งเหล่านี้กลายเป็นพื้นฐานสำคัญในอุตสาหกรรมอาหารจนปัจจุบัน แต่ทุกวันนี้วงการสุขภาพส่วนมากยังคงล้อเลียนเธอว่าเป็นครูธรรมดา ที่มีหน้ามาสร้างปิรามิดอาหาร จึงทำให้คนทั่งโลกป่วย ทั้งที่ความจริงทั้งหมดนั้น ความรู้ของป้าแอนไม่ได้น้อยไปกว่า ผู้เชี่ยวชาญทางวิทยาศาสตร์การอาหาร ซึ่งในสมัยนั้นนับว่าเป็นอีกแขนงที่อยู่ในระดับบนของการศึกษา ไม่ต่างกับวิทยาศาสตร์อื่นๆ ปิรามิดควรเป็นไปตามถิ่นที่อยู่ สภาพเวลาและสภาพเศรษฐกิจขณะนั้น ไม่ใช่การสร้างมาตรฐานให้ต้องทำเหมือนกันทั่วโลก โดยมาจากอิทธิพลของกลุ่มธุรกิจดังที่ usda ได้ทำการแก้ไขก่อนจะประกาศให้คนทั่วไปยึดถือ รายละเอียดเป็นไปตามที่สืบค้นข้อมูลประวัติของป้าแอน มาเล่าสู่กันฟัง ณ วันนี้ครับ ผมก็เป็นหนึ่งในนั้น สิ่งที่ผมสามารถทำได้เพื่อเป็นการขอโทษคุณ Anna-Britt Agnsäter ที่ดีที่สุดที่ทำได้ตอนนี้คือ เผยแพร่ประวัติอันทรงคุณค่าของเธอ ให้คนอื่นๆได้รับทราบมากที่สุด เท่าที่จะทำได้ โปรดแชร์ เพื่อคืนความเป็นธรรมให้ Anna-Britt Agnsäter ให้โลกได้เข้าใจและรับรู้ถึงการอุทิศชีวิตให้วงการอาหารของคุณป้าครับ ปล.มีการค้นพบไฟล์เสียง ที่ป้าแอน จัดรายการวิทยุในปี 1968 ให้ลองฟังกันครับ (น่าจะภาษาสวีเดนนะ 5555) [ฟังได้ที่นี่ครับ](https://rumble.com/v56p1wa-ann-britt-agnster-in-a-radio-find-from-1968.html) https://rumble.com/v56p1wa-ann-britt-agnster-in-a-radio-find-from-1968.html #siamstr #pirateketo

### The probability of AGI ending us is negative. A common tactic among doomers is to state something along the lines of the following: "If we create AGI, there is some non-zero chance every year, that the AGI will end humanity. Whatever that chance is compounds every year, and is thus unacceptable." The question I would ask the doomer is **"How do you know that the chance of AGI ending humanity isn't negative?"** What does it mean for AGI to have a negative chance of ending humanity? Setting aside AGI for a moment, what is the chance every year that humanity ends from other events, such as nuclear war, solar flares, super-volcanoes, asteroid hits, societal collapse, etc? How do you even answer this question in a reasonable manner? Well lets look at past data. Of all species that have existed 99% have gone extinct. Of our closest 7 relatives from the genus Homo, 100% have gone extinct. On a higher level looking at civilizational collapse. According to Wikipedia, [virtually all](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Societal_collapse) historical societies have collapsed. Looking out into the universe, we see no signs of life elsewhere, so if there was life in the past we can assume that they have gone extinct. It would therefore be reasonable to say that the chance of our extinction is very high even without AGI, well above 90%. Maybe 99%. You could argue the numbers but at least with these numbers we are using some past data to extrapolate the future, where the doomers are using no data whatsoever to support their numbers. We can also state, that of all the species and societies that have collapsed in the past, they have done so because they did not yet have the knowledge on how to survive. They didn't know how to create antibiotics, or generate enough energy, or defend themselves from the environment. What is AGI? AGI is a way to create knowledge. Most all societies in the past have collapsed because they didn't have the knowledge on how to survive, and the doomer argument is that we should slow down our ability to create knowledge, when we know that this has been precisely the problem in the past. It is a certainty we will all die without more knowledge then we have now. The future death of our sun ensures that. We have to create the knowledge on how to survive, and that is what AGI does - it creates knowledge. AGI most certainly has a negative probability of ending humanity.

* Prepared a Dutch webinar with an short introduction to Nostr - [https://welkom.keuzevrijbijmij.nl/evenement/wwebinar-vergroot-je-privacy-op-social-media-10-juli/](https://welkom.keuzevrijbijmij.nl/evenement/wwebinar-vergroot-je-privacy-op-social-media-10-juli/)  * Received a nice t-shirt with the Nostr-PHP logo from Bitpopart who designed the logo * Did an introduction talk in Dutch on a webinar with 350+ people subscribed on July 10th. 100+ watched the webinar live. * Here is the full replay:  At around 38min the Nostr stuff begins * Adding pages and wrote some documentation on [nostr-php.dev](http://nostr-php.dev) * Added a custom field `field_nsec` to the user entity on [nostrver.se](http://nostrver.se) (Drupal website) using the contrib module [field\_encrypt](https://git.drupalcode.org/project/field_encrypt). The value of this field is stored encrypted in the database using a self created private key. This key is stored as a blob the server, but multiple ways of storing this are possible. In the Drupal CMS I now can save a Nostr private key for each user which will be fetch from nostr\_content\_nip23. All changes made in this Drupal contrib module for this: [https://git.drupalcode.org/project/nostr_content_nip23/-/commit/cbc172b976aceaff107fea0296a8a476e098467e](https://git.drupalcode.org/project/nostr_content_nip23/-/commit/cbc172b976aceaff107fea0296a8a476e098467e) * With a `nsec` stored for each user, it’s possible to select a user when you’re broadcasting an Nostr event from Drupal. The event will be signed with the nsec of the selected user. Quick demo here: [https://njump.me/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqpnrnguxe8qszsshvgkvhn6qjzxy7xsvx03rlrtddr62haj4lrm3qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3camnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwdjkyctnw35hstnnda3kjctv9uqzqj75dy5eps3lgwum7f9p2l8sywy7wuxjr08pyhzyzv9mklylaydgdyll3z](https://njump.me/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqpnrnguxe8qszsshvgkvhn6qjzxy7xsvx03rlrtddr62haj4lrm3qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3camnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwdjkyctnw35hstnnda3kjctv9uqzqj75dy5eps3lgwum7f9p2l8sywy7wuxjr08pyhzyzv9mklylaydgdyll3z)

This is the third in a series of weekly updates detailing progress on bringing MLS protocol DMs and group messaging to Nostr. ## Previous Updates - [June 28th 2024](https://habla.news/u/jeffg.fyi/1719562889267) - [July 6th 2024](https://habla.news/u/jeffg.fyi/1720256910765) ## Progress this week Short update post this week but I made solid progress updating several OpenMLS dependencies and building a new library that implements all the OpenMLS crypto requirements for Nostr. ### HPKE-RS I mentioned a PR last week on the `rust-hpke` library, that PR is still waiting on review. However, in the meantime, the OpenMLS library depends on a slightly different hpke library, the `hpke-rs` library. This library didn't support the secp256k1 curve either so I've [opened a PR](https://github.com/franziskuskiefer/hpke-rs/pull/66) to add support for secp256k1. That PR uses the `RustCrypto` library that is the default in the the `hpke-rs` library. However, because this library is built to allow for swapping out the underlying crypto library (using traits), I was also able to create a new library that uses the `secp256k1` library instead of the `RustCrypto` library. This is the main crypto library that almost all Bitcoin and Nostr apps use so it's important we use that instead of `RustCrypto`. ### OpenMLS Nostr Crypto The library that I've created ([openmls-nostr-crypto](https://github.com/erskingardner/openmls_nostr_crypto)) does a few things via separate sub-libraries (crates). The entire library tries to do as little as possible; only implementing the one required ciphersuite for all MLS implementations and the `secp256k1` schnorr signatures ciphersuite I've created for Nostr. It's also using the right `secp256k1` library to do it. **openmls-nostr-crypto:** implementes the crypto traits that the OpenMLS library expects to find for a given provider and removes all the ciphersuites that we don't care about supporting. **hpke-rs-nostr-crypto:** This implements the crypto traits that the hpke-rs library expects to find. Again removing all the ciphersuites we don't care about supporting. I've not yet written any tests for these libraries (which needs to be done) but I've gotten some very simple demos working with OpenMLS using this new set of libraries to handle the crypto. I've been really impressed with the simplicity of the OpenMLS interface as well. While there is A LOT going on under the hood, the public interface that client developers have to use is clean and simple. ## Onward and Upward Next week I'll continue working on these libraries; adding tests and continuing to build out my small demo app. I've been in touch with the maintainers of the OpenMLS library and I'm hoping to get a review done with them on my PRs and on my new library. One thing I'll call out here: The review of my library and getting them to review the direction of the project overall will be paid consulting so I'm making sure that I've got as much done as possible before scheduling that time and paying their rates. I'm a strong believer that the right conversation can save you months of wasted time, but I'm also a believer in making sure you're prepared if you're going to drop money on that conversation. 😅

A thriving society rests on the principles of modesty and humility, avoiding idleness and self-indulgence. Individuals are needed to forsake the constant pursuit of attention and instead aspire to selflessness, dedicating themselves to serving humanity. Humility fosters spiritual harmony and protects against materialism and selfish desires. Beyond personal conduct, humanity must champion altruism and solidarity within the global community. Belief in collective endeavors will pave the way for global harmony. Embracing values like kindness, compassion, and genuine concern for others promotes positivity and reflects the influence of a higher power. The aim is to cultivate a unified multicultural community where each person contributes to manifesting this higher presence. The collective goal is to direct humanity to nurture a community that experiences spiritual growth while upholding humility as a guiding principle, resisting materialism's allure. By creating such an environment, the hope is to resonate with a sacred harmony that extends beyond immediate boundaries. Through intentional actions and meaningful relationships, a collective space embodying these values can be established, ensuring the higher power's presence guides individual lives and interactions with the world.

# What Can We Get by Breaking NOSTR? "What if we just started over? What if we took everything we have learned while building nostr and did it all again, but did it right this time?" That is a question I've heard quite a number of times, and it is a question I have pondered quite a lot myself. My conclusion (so far) is that I believe that we can fix all the important things without starting over. There are different levels of breakage, starting over is the most extreme of them. In this post I will describe these levels of breakage and what each one could buy us. ## Cryptography Your key-pair is the most fundamental part of nostr. That is your portable identity. If the cryptography changed from secp256k1 to ed25519, all current nostr identities would not be usable. This would be a complete start over. Every other break listed in this post could be done as well to no additional detriment (save for reuse of some existing code) because we would be starting over. Why would anyone suggest making such a break? What does this buy us? - [Curve25519 is a safe curve](https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/) meaning a bunch of specific cryptography things that us mortals do not understand but we are assured that it is somehow better. - Ed25519 is more modern, said to be faster, and has more widespread code/library support than secp256k1. - Nostr keys could be used as TLS server certificates. [TLS 1.3](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8446#section-4.4.2) using [RFC 7250 Raw Public Keys](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7250) allows raw public keys as certificates. No DNS or certification authorities required, removing several points of failure. These ed25519 keys could be used in TLS, whereas secp256k1 keys cannot as no TLS algorithm utilizes them AFAIK. Since relays currently don't have assigned nostr identities but are instead referenced by a websocket URL, this doesn't buy us much, but it is interesting. This idea is explored further below (keep reading) under a lesser level of breakage. Besides breaking everything, another downside is that people would not be able to manage nostr keys with bitcoin hardware. I am fairly strongly against breaking things this far. I don't think it is worth it. ## Signature Scheme and Event Structure Event structure is the next most fundamental part of nostr. Although events can be represented in many ways (clients and relays usually parse the JSON into data structures and/or database columns), the nature of the content of an event is well defined as seven particular fields. If we changed those, that would be a hard fork. This break is quite severe. All current nostr events wouldn't work in this hard fork. We would be preserving identities, but all content would be starting over. It would be difficult to bridge between this fork and current nostr because the bridge couldn't create the different signature required (not having anybody's private key) and current nostr wouldn't be generating the new kind of signature. Therefore any bridge would have to do identity mapping just like bridges to entirely different protocols do (e.g. mostr to mastodon). What could we gain by breaking things this far? - We could have a faster event hash and id verification: the current signature scheme of nostr requires lining up 5 JSON fields into a JSON array and using that as hash input. There is a performance cost to copying this data in order to hash it. - We could introduce a subkey field, and sign events via that subkey, while preserving the pubkey as the author everybody knows and searches by. Note however that we can already get a remarkably similar thing using something like NIP-26 where the actual author is in a tag, and the pubkey field is the signing subkey. - We could refactor the kind integer into composable bitflags (that could apply to any application) and an application kind (that specifies the application). - Surely there are other things I haven't thought of. I am currently against this kind of break. I don't think the benefits even come close to outweighing the cost. But if I learned about other things that we could "fix" by restructuring the events, I could possibly change my mind. ## Replacing Relay URLs Nostr is defined by relays that are addressed by websocket URLs. If that changed, that would be a significant break. Many (maybe even most) current event kinds would need superseding. The most reasonable change is to define relays with nostr identities, specifying their pubkey instead of their URL. What could we gain by this? - We could ditch reliance on DNS. Relays could publish events under their nostr identity that advertise their current IP address(es). - We could ditch certificates because relays could generate ed25519 keypairs for themselves (or indeed just self-signed certificates which might be much more broadly supported) and publish their public ed25519 key in the same replaceable event where they advertise their current IP address(es). This is a gigantic break. Almost all event kinds need redefining and pretty much all nostr software will need fairly major upgrades. But it also gives us a kind of Internet liberty that many of us have dreamt of our entire lives. I am ambivalent about this idea. ## Protocol Messaging and Transport The protocol messages of nostr are the next level of breakage. We could preserve keypair identities, all current events, and current relay URL references, but just break the protocol of how clients and relay communicate this data. This would not necessarily break relay and client implementations at all, so long as the new protocol were opt-in. What could we get? - The new protocol could transmit events in binary form for increased performance (no more JSON parsing with it's typical many small memory allocations and string escaping nightmares). I think event throughput could double (wild guess). - It could have clear expectations of who talks first, and when and how AUTH happens, avoiding a lot of current miscommunication between clients and relays. - We could introduce bitflags for feature support so that new features could be added later and clients would not bother trying them (and getting an error or timing out) on relays that didn't signal support. This could replace much of NIP-11. - We could then introduce something like negentropy or negative filters (but not that... probably something else solving that same problem) without it being a breaking change. - The new protocol could just be a few websocket-binary messages enhancing the current protocol, continuing to leverage the existing websocket-text messages we currently have, meaning newer relays would still support all the older stuff. The downsides are just that if you want this new stuff you have to build it. It makes the protocol less simple, having now multiple protocols, multiple ways of doing the same thing. Nonetheless, this I am in favor of. I think the trade-offs are worth it. I will be pushing a draft PR for this soon. ## The path forward I propose then the following path forward: 1. A new nostr protocol over websockets binary (draft PR to be shared soon) 2. Subkeys brought into nostr via NIP-26 (but let's use a single letter tag instead, OK?) via a big push to get all the clients to support it (the transition will be painful - most major clients will need to support this before anybody can start using it). 3. Some kind of solution to the negative-filter-negentropy need added to the new protocol as its first optional feature. 4. We seriously consider replacing Relay URLs with nostr pubkeys assigned to the relay, and then have relays publish their IP address and TLS key or certificate. We sacrifice these: 1. Faster event hash/verification 2. Composable event bitflags 3. Safer faster more well-supported crypto curve 4. Nostr keys themselves as TLS 1.3 RawPublicKey certificates

Hey everyone, Today wasn't super eventful, but there were a couple things I wanted to share. First off, I had to pay rent, which meant a trip to the bank with my still-not-great foot. On the bright side, I took some pictures of Moshi along the way - hopefully you'll enjoy a glimpse of the city!  Speaking of my foot, there's been some improvement! The pain isn't constant anymore, only when I'm walking around. It looks better too, so hopefully it'll be back to normal soon. Now, onto the slightly more frustrating topic: the Kenyan border situation. As you might recall, I had a big issue where border control wouldn't let me leave the country and even refused to contact my embassy. Basically, they held me hostage (which, by the way, is a violation of international law). Two days later, I managed to get out through a different border. Recently, the Kenyan police has started investigating. They contacted me on WhatsApp a few days ago, and things are getting stranger by the day.  There's a big part of this that just doesn't add up. They keep asking for a photo of the exit stamp, but the officer who wouldn't let me leave never gave me one. He actually denied my exit and put me on a bus back to the city! I explained this and told them another border provided the stamp later, but they insist they need the original stamp to find this as "proof" related to this officer. It just doesn't connect to the man who caused the problem in the first place.  Even more concerning, they want me to return to Kenya. First, they want me to sign a document, but when I expressed hesitation about returning, they switched to asking me to identify this officer in a lineup. And all of this communication is happening on a personal WhatsApp number, which makes the whole situation incredibly suspicious. Overall, it's a confusing situation. On a brighter note, my foot is definitely on the mend. Here's to hoping it keeps getting better! That's all for today. I'll just be relaxing and grabbing some dinner later. Stay tuned for more updates!   ### **Online** [Profile Page](https://rubenstorm.de.cool/) | [Support Page](https://rubenstorm.12hp.de/) > Feel free to support me by sending some sats via the lightning network to rubenstorm@sats.mobi

For more than a while now, I think you have experienced the feeling that things are not right in the world or in your country, it is not surprising that it coincides with a moment in history where we will experience the end of a monetary cycle like It is FIAT money or in other words fiat money that is backed by debt, every day you look around you and people do not find much hope in the future, many of them are working to support themselves, pay the costs of living and In the best of cases, just saving a little inflationary money, a slower theft in the population, in the worst of cases, people are full of debt and without a plan on how to escape said trap. Everything is connected, we just have to look for the signs that are leaving us with the naked eye, as for example we have never had in history countries so indebted based on their GDP or gross domestic product and that this same debt was financed with a deficit, For people who have studied or lived the situations of hyperinflationary countries like Venezuela, Argentina, Turkey, Lebanon, you will know what I am talking about, it is simpler than it sounds, no country can spend more than it produces without any consequences, someone has to pay the price, in this case the population through the dark hand of inflation.  We have reached the point where governments blatantly lie to us with inflation data that does not include food, rent and energy prices, to save appearances and maintain the psychological operation that everything is fine, but when you go to the supermarket you know that something was never there. Well, it is not surprising that even you, the person reading this, know that inevitably your Dollars, Euros or Pesos will not buy you the same thing in a year as what they buy you today.  So where are we headed? It is normal then that people are not very enthusiastic about the future, since when we look into the depths of our system we realize that people's savings and purchasing power will increasingly be devalued so that everything continues to function as it has until now. Today, it is noticeable that something in people's subconscious warns them that tomorrow will be worse and that is why they have to enjoy the now, reducing their time preference to sporadic moments without thinking about the long term, even if they do not understand complex mechanisms. economics, it is observed that people are increasingly working more for less remuneration since the numbers of a salary can increase nominally but they buy fewer and fewer goods and services, as we can see in this graph.  What we have left in the coming years is the acceleration of government mechanisms to be able to continue keeping the wealth extraction system functioning, trying to extend the psychological operation to a point of no return, it is clear that a form of money has been confiscated from us. . that allowed us savings like gold did, I think it is important that we begin to question certain things and choose not to continue participating in a system that is arranged to destroy the energy of our work.  What can we do? Alternatives such as Bitcoin and gold to protect the energy of our work are some of the best options that we can implement as a refuge from the disaster to which our politicians have dragged us. Using these alternatives as a kind of battery for our energy is the only way we can ensure that the effort we make every day in our jobs, ventures or companies is not devalued, since both gold and bitcoin are not debt. of anyone, they are reserves of value and have no risk of reverse departure or non-payment. It is time to take action and educate ourselves to be able to rise to the challenges of the paradigm shift that we will have as a civilization, since a change in the monetary standard is what can lead us to a better path of incentives where people can change preferences. temporary and build for the future. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/604619

Back then, I was still living in a house in Höpfigheim. The house bordered directly on nature, a nature reserve, and I loved going out into nature there. I regularly took photos in this area. That's how this photo came about on that day in April 2011. The photo was taken in Höpfigheim, a town in the Ludwigsburg district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.  ### **Photo Information** * **Author:** Ruben Storm * **Date Taken:** April 22, 2011 * **Published:** June 19, 2012 * **Camera:** Nikon D3100 * **Lens:** Not specified * **Location:** Höpfigheim, Germany ### **Links:** * [Photo on Flickr](https://flic.kr/p/cgYqnu) * [My Flickr Profile](http://bit.ly/rst-flickr)

เตรียมตัวเตรียมของ 3 อย่าง ก่อนลงสู่ทุ่งม่วง โพสที่แล้ว เราเห็นข้อเปรียบเทียบระหว่าง nostr กับ โซเชียลมีเดีย กันไปแล้ว โพสนี้เราจะมาทำความรู้จัก ของหลักๆที่จำเป็นในการลงสู่ทุ่งม่วงกันครับ  อย่างที่ 1 : กุญแจคู่ รู้ตัวตน ก่อนจะเข้าประตูสู่ทุ่งม่วงนั้น เราต้องการกุญแจ 2 ดอกครับ มันทำงานคล้ายๆเซฟธนาคาร คือ กุญแจ 2 ดอกนี้ต้องเข้าชุดกัน ถึงจะเปิดออกได้ ซึ่งกุญแจ 2 ดอกนี้ เราเรียกว่า npub กับ nsec อย่าเพิ่งตกใจ ไหนบอกว่าจะมีศัพท์คอมพิวเตอร์น้อยๆไง 5555 ใช่ครับ บางคำอาจจำเป็นต้องรู้จักไว้ แต่ผมจะเทียบเคียงเป็นภาษาบ้านๆเราให้นะครับ npub กับ nsec จะเป็นชุดตัวเลขที่คอมพิวเตอร์คำนวนมาให้ (วิธีการได้มาจะบอกภายหลังครับ) Npub เราทำความเข้าใจเป็นภาษาอังกฤษง่ายๆว่า Nostr Public key ตัวย่อ NPUB หรือกุญแจที่เราเอาไว้ให้คนอื่นเพื่อจดจำว่าเป็นเรา ซึ่งคนอื่น นั่น นอกจากจะเป็นคนจริงๆแล้ว ยังหมายถึงระบบแอพต่างๆด้วย Nsec เราทำความเข้าใจเป็นภาษาอังกฤษง่ายๆว่า Nostr Secret key ตัวย่อ NSEC หรือกุญแจที่เราเก็บไว้ที่ตัวเองเท่านั้น ห้ามใครรู้ ระบบต่างๆจะคำนวนว่า npub กับ nsec เป็นชุดเดียวกันหรือเปล่า ก่อนนะอนุญาตให้เราดำเนินการใดๆได้ใน nostr พูดง่ายๆคือ npub nsec คือ กุญแจคู่ที่เอาไว้ยืนยันความเป็นตัวเรานั่นเองครับ ทีนี้ข้อเด่นของระบบ nostr ที่เหนือกว่า แอพโซเชียล www ทุกวันนี้คือ กุญแจคู่นี้ชุดเดียว ทำให้คุณสามารถท่องไปในดินแดน nostr ได้ตลอดกาล ไม่ว่าในอนาคตจะมีคนสร้าง nostr app อะไรใหม่ๆขึ้นมา โครงสร้างหลักของ nostr จะเป็นการใช้กุญแจคู่นี้ตลอดไปเช่นกัน ไม่เหมือนกับ โซเชียล www ทุกวันนี้ ที่ต้องไปไล่สมัคร user id ตามเอกชนแต่ละที่ แล้วเราก็ต้องมีเป็นร้อยๆ account ตามจำนวนบริการที่เราใช้ ไหนจะ เฟสบุค ไหนจะยูทูป ไหนจะกูเกิ้ล นี่ยังดีที่ แอพเล็กๆหลายๆเจ้าไปพึ่งใบบุญลูกพี่ใหญ่ อย่างเฟสบุค ยูทูป ไปบ้างแล้ว แต่เราก็ต้องมีสารพัด user id อยู่ดี นอกจากนี้ ข้อมูล password ของเราก็ยังถูกบันทึกไว้ที่คอมของ แอพนั้นๆ ต่างกับ กุญแจคู่ของ nostr ที่ไม่ได้เป็นการบันทึกข้อมูลของกุญแจไว้ในคอมของแอพ(ที่ใน nostr เราเรียกว่า รีเลย์ จำได้ใช่ไหมครับ) ระบบของ nostr เป็นการนำตัวเลขของกุญแจคู่นี้ มาคำนวนความเข้ากันได้ว่าเป็นคู่ที่ถูกต้องไหม ถ้าถูกต้องมันจะอนุญาตให้เราดำเนินการต่อ นั่นหมายถึงไม่มีการบันทึกใดๆไว้ในคอมผู้ให้บริการเลย ตราบใดที่คุณเก็บกุญแจไว้ที่ตัวดีๆ your key is your id ทีนี้การที่จะได้กุญแจคู่นี้มานั้นไม่ยากครับ เพียงแค่เราใช้แอพของ nostr เป็นตัวสร้างได้เลย  อย่างที่ 2 : แอพไหน ไฟแรงเวอร์ ก่อนจะเข้าสู่การสร้าง เรามาทำความเข้าใจ โลกของ nostr app กันเพิ่มสักนิดก่อนครับ อย่างที่บอกในโพสที่แล้ว nostr คือระบบการส่งข้อมูลแบบใหม่ เทียบให้เห็นภาพก็คือ www (world wide web) Nostr คือ การส่งอะไรก็ตามผ่านรีเลย์ (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) ทีนี้ในโลกของ www เราก็จะมีแอพซึ่งภาษาทางการเรียกว่า web app เห็นชัดๆก็พวกที่อยู่ในมือถือเรานั่นละครับ เฟสบุค ยูทูป ไอจี ทวิตเตอร์ มันคือหน้าฉากเป็นมือถือแต่หลังบ้านมันเป็นการติดต่อส่งรับข้อมูลในระบบ www รวมศูนย์อยู่ที่แอพแต่ละยี่ห้อ การทำงานของ Nostr ก็เหมือนกัน แม้จะใช้การส่งข้อมูลผ่านรีเลย์แต่ระบบยังคงทำงานบนอินเตอร์เนทช่วยในการเดินทาง เราจึงจะมี nostr app เพื่อใช้เป็นหน้าบ้านในการส่งรับข้อมูลในระบบ nostr ที่เชื่อมต่อถึงกันโดยรีเลย์ ดังนั้นเอาจริงๆในฐานะผู้ใช้ แทบจะไม่ต้องปรับอะไรมากเลย นอกจากเรียนรู้การใช้แอพใหม่ ส่วนการอธิบายหลักการที่ผ่านมา มันแค่ช่วยให้คุณเข้าใจความเจ๋ง ความอิสระ ความปลอดภัย เพื่อให้คุณ อิน ในระบบที่ไม่ต้องพึ่งพาบริษัทเอกชนที่เอาคุณเป็นสินค้าใดๆอีก นักเขียนโปรแกรม เขาก็ทำ app ขึ้นมาให้เราเทียบเคียงการใช้งานกับโลกทุกวันนี้ ยกตัวอย่างให้เห็นภาพกันก่อนเช่น Facebook twitter เขาก็จะมีแอพ damus artemis primal ฯลฯ ที่เป็นการโพสข้อความ รูป ลิงค์ มีกดไลค์ มีแชร์ ได้เหมือนกัน Youtube เขาก็จะมีแอพ zapstream flare ฯลฯ ที่เป็นลักษณะคลังเก็บวีดีโอ หรือ การไลฟ์ต่างๆ ซึ่งอันนี้แค่ตัวอย่างครับ จริงๆแล้วยังมี nostr app อีกมากมายก่ายกอง ที่เริ่มมีการทะยอยออกมาให้ใช้งานกัน (แน่ละครับ มันยังไม่มากแบบใน app store แต่มันคือจุดเริ่มต้นที่ผ่านมาได้พักนึงแล้ว และแอพใช้งานทั่วไปก็ครอบคลุมแล้ว) ที่สำคัญคือ ทุก nostr app ใช้กุญแจคู่เดียว ในการแสดงตัวตนของเราในการใช้งานนั้นๆ ตามที่บอกไว้ข้างบน (อย่างที่1) ไม่ต้องสมัครอะไรอีกต่อไป โหลดแล้วใช้เลย และใครที่ใช้คอม จะยิ่งมี nostr app ที่ใช้งานแบบบนคอมเยอะกว่าในมือถือเสียอีก  อย่างที่ 3 : แฮชแทคจ๋า พี่มาแล้ว ด้วยความที่โลกของ nostr กว้างใหญ่มาก อิสระมาก และที่สำคัญคือ ไม่มีอัลกอลิทึม ในการที่จะยัดเยียดการมองเห็น ดังนั้นสิ่งที่จะทำให้ทุกอย่างง่ายขึ้นนั่นคือแฮชแทค ถ้าใครเล่น ig twitter เราจะคุ้นเคยกันดี ว่าหากเราโพสอะไรแล้วใส่แฮชแทค คนที่ติดตามแฮชแทคนั้น จะได้เห็นข้อความเราไปเอง nostr ก็เช่นกัน มีแฮชแทคมากมายให้ติดตามกัน โดยเฉพาะ แฮชแทค #siamstr ที่เราชาวไทยรวมใจกันใช้ เพื่อสร้างอาณาเขตของคนไทยในทุ่งม่วง นอกจากนี้ของผมเองคือ #pirateketo ที่ใช้อยู่กับเฟสบุคและ ig ก็นำไปใช้ในทุ่งม่วงด้วย สามารถเจอโพสของพวกเราได้ ตามแฮชแทคนี้ ถ้าเป็นคนเล่นแฮชแทคอยู่แล้วก็ง่ายเลยแทบไม่ต้องปรับตัว ใครไม่ค่อยเล่นก็สามารถลองกดๆแฮชแทคในเฟสบุคดูเพื่อทำความเข้าใจการทำงานได้ก่อนที่จะลงทุ่งม่วง ทบทวนอีกที ของ3อย่างที่ต้องเตรียมรู้ก่อนลงทุ่งม่วง 1.กุญแจคู่ รู้ตัวตน 2.แอพไหน ไฟแรงเวอร์ 3. แฮชแทคจ๋า พี่มาแล้ว เมื่อทำความเข้าใจ 3 อย่างนี้แล้ว เราก็พร้อมจะลงไปมั่วกันแล้วครับ เล่นก่อนเรียนตามกันไปอีกที #pirateketo #siamstr

 ก่อนจะเปิดหลุมกระต่าย ให้เพื่อนๆลงไปสู่ ทุ่งม่วง wonderland เรามาเบิกเนตรระบบที่ทำให้เราเป็นสินค้าแทนที่จะเป็นลูกค้ากันก่อนครับ อินเตอร์เนทเริ่มต้นด้วยอุดมการณ์ที่ดี ที่จะให้ข้อมูลข่าวสารมันฉับไว ซึ่งมันก็เป็นเช่นนั้นจริงๆ แต่โลกมันมีสิ่งนึงที่เกิดขึ้นอยู่เสมอ นั้นคือ การชิงทรัพยากร ดินแดน เวลา และการควบคุมคนให้อยู่ในอาณัติ อินเตอร์เนทเริ่มถูกยึดดินแดนมาตั้งแต่การเริ่มมีการสื่อสาร 2 ทางที่โต้ตอบกันได้เร็วขึ้น เจ้า www (World Wide Web) มันกลายเป็นดินแดนของไม่กี่บริษัท ที่เป็นผู้ยิ่งใหญ่ในโลก ดอทคอม สร้างกิจกรรมบางอย่างแล้วให้คนทั้งโลกเข้ามาใช้งาน จะเห็นว่าทุกวันนี้เราแทบไม่พ้นการเข้าไปดู เฟสบุค ยูทูป ทวิตเตอร์ ไอจี ชอปปี้ ลาซาด้า และอื่นๆที่เหมือนจะมากมายแต่ไม่ได้มากมายเมื่อเทียบประชากรโลก บางคนบอกว่ามันก็ดีไม่ใช่เหรอ เราได้ใช้ฟรีๆ ตรงนี้ละครับ เราจะเข้าเรื่องกันแล้ว คำที่เราหลงไปกับมันคือ เขาทำมาให้เราใช้ฟรีๆ เขาต้องเห็นเราเป็นลูกค้าสิ แต่ความจริงนั้น เราคือสินค้าครับ เขาฟาร์มเราไว้เป็นสินค้า เป็นหมูในแฮปปี้ฟาร์ม ยิ่งประชากรในฟาร์มมีมาก เขาก็จะมีมูลค่าสูงมาก ดังเช่นที่เราเห็นว่า มีการบ่นมากมายเรื่องการกดการมองเห็น การที่มีแต่โพสพนัน หลอกขายของที่เป็นสปอนเซอร์ การที่เราลงรูปไก่ต้มแล้วโดนแบนเพราะเขามองว่าทรมานสัตว์ และอื่นๆอีกมากมายที่ทำให้รู้สึกว่า ทำไมเขาดูแลผู้ใช้งานไม่ดีเลย เราเป็นลูกค้าเขานะ ถ้ามองในอีกมุมนึง จริงๆเขาดูแลลูกค้าดีแล้วครับ ลูกค้าของเขาคือคนซื้อโฆษณาต่างหาก ใครที่จ่ายมาก ก็เอาสินค้าเค้ามายัดเยียดให้ประชากรในฟาร์ม ได้ดูกันตาแตก หมูในฟาร์มคนไหนออกนอกลู่นอกทางก็จะเชือดทิ้ง นี่ละครับที่บอกว่าเราคือสินค้าต่างหาก กลุ่มคนที่ต้องการอิสระเสรี จึงสร้างสิ่งใหม่ขึ้นมา ไม่ใช่แค่ทำแอพ ไม่ใช่ทำแค่เว็บ เพราะมันยังต้องพึ่งพาเอกชนในการเอาข้อมูลไปฝากไว้ในเครือข่าย แต่สิ่งใหม่นี้มันเป็นระบบการส่งข้อมูลแบบใหม่ครับ ให้เห็นภาพยิ่งขึ้น เราบอกไปแล้วว่าดินแดนอินเตอร์เนท มันอยู่ในกำมือคนที่เป็น land lord ไม่กี่คน และทุกอย่างเราต้องอยู่ใต้อาณัติเขา ตั้งแต่การได้เห็นแค่ข้อมูลเขาก็เลือกให้ จนถึงว่าถ้าเขาสงสัยว่าเราไม่ใช่เราตัวจริง เขาสามารถลบเราไปโดยไม่ต้องถามอะไร ชีวิต7ปี 10ปี ที่ผ่านมาในแอพมันสามารถเหลือ 0โพสได้ในพริบตาและไม่ให้อุธรณ์ใดๆ นั่นเพราะข้อมูลทุกอย่างมันไปอยู่ในเครื่องคอมของแต่ละบริษัท ทั้งยูทูป เฟสบุค ไอจี ของๆเรา เราเอาไปอัพไว้ในคอมเขา ต้องทำตามกฎที่เขาตั้งและเปลี่ยนใจได้ทุกเมื่อ และแอบมองของๆเราได้ทุกรูปทุกข้อความลับ ทุกอย่าง ย้ำว่าทุกอย่าง ต้องผ่านคอมของเขาทั้งหมด เราไม่มีอะไรเป็นของเราเลย ในฟาร์มนี้ เราแค่รอโดนเชือดและเราไม่กล้าออกมาเพราะคิดว่าเป็น safe zone ส่วนระบบการส่งข้อมูลแบบใหม่ เราเรียกว่า nostr อ่านว่า นอสเตอร์ ชื่อเต็มมันยาว แต่ถ้ารู้ จะเข้าใจง่ายขึ้น เพราะมันมาจากคำว่า Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays แปลว่า ”อะไรก็ตามที่เอามาส่งผ่านรีเลย์“ ผมขอเรียกมันว่าส่งไม้ต่อละกันครับ มองภาพการวิ่ง 4x100 มันมีการส่งไม้ผลัดใช่ไหมครับ นั่นละ รีเลย์  ระบบเก่าเราเรียกว่า การรวมศูนย์ นั่นคือเอะอะก็ต้องไปเก็บหรือไปดู จากคอมบริษัทนั้นๆ เช่น ดูคลิปก็ต้องไปโหลดจากคอมของยูทูป จะดูฟีดเพื่อนก็ต้องไปโหลดข้อความที่เพื่อนฝากไว้ในคอมของเฟสบุค ถ้าวันนึง เฟสบุคล่ม นั่นคือทุกคนติดต่อหรือดูอะไรไม่ได้เลย และถ้ากู่ไม่กลับ นั้นคือทุกอย่างหายหมด นอกจากนี้ผู้คุมศูนย์คือสั่งชี้เป็นชี้ตายคุณได้ทันที ที่ไม่พอใจคุณ บ้านเขากฎเขา นั้นเอง  ในขณะที่ nostr เป็นระบบส่งไม้ผลัด นั่นคือ ใครๆก็สามารถเป็น รีเลย์ได้ แค่มีคอมก็เรียบร้อย วิธีการเป็นรีเลย์ เรายังไม่ต้องสนใจครับ เราเป็นแค่ผู้ใช้ ไม่ต้องเป็นผู้ให้บริการก็ได้ ฟรีด้วย วันนี้เราแค่มาเข้าใจเส้นทางก่อนครับ อย่างที่บอกครับ ระบบการส่งข้อมูลเราเป็นรีเลย์ หรือ ไม้ผลัด หลักการก็แค่เราก็แค่ใส่ที่อยู่รีเลย์ ลงไปในแอพของเรา แล้วข้อมูลที่เราส่งไป เจ้ารีเลย์มันก็จะวิ่งส่งไม้ผลัดนี้ไปให้สมาชิกทุกคนในรีเลย์ ในทางกลับกัน เราก็จะได้รับข้อมูลที่สมาชิกในสังกัดรีเลย์ที่เราลงไว้ ส่งมาให้ผ่านทางรีเลย์ด้วยเช่นกัน และที่เจ๋งก็คือ รีเลย์ ไม่สนใจอะไรอย่างอื่นอีก นอกเหนือแค่ส่งไม้ผลัดให้สมาชิกทุกคน นั่นคือ มันไม่คิดว่าอะไรควรส่งไม่ควรส่ง มันไม่คิดว่าข้อมูลดีแค่ไหน มันไม่ปิดกั้น มันไม่เซนเซอร์ นั่นคือ มีหน้าที่แค่ส่งจริงๆ นอกจากนี้ถ้าเราเป็นใส่รีเลย์มากกว่า 1 แห่งในตัวเรา ข้อมูลทั้งหมดก็จะสำเนาไปยังรีเลย์ที่เหลือได้เช่นกัน หมายถึงว่า ข้อมูลเราจะกระจายแบบสำเนาไปได้อีกหลายๆๆๆๆรีเลย์ นอกจากอิสระแล้วยังฆ่าไม่ตายด้วย เพราะรีเลย์มีขึ้นเป็นดอกเห็ด และใครๆทำรีเลย์มาเปิดให้บริการได้เอง (เราเป็นแค่ผู้ใช้ ไม่ได้อยากเป็นผู้ให้บริการ เราไม่ต้องสร้างรีเลย์ก็สามารถใช้งาน nostr ได้ครับ) ดังนั้น nostr จึงเหมาะกับคนที่ต้องการเสรีภาพแบบเต็มๆ เพราะไม่มีใครเซนเซอร์คุณได้เลย คุณเท่านั้นที่จะต้องรับผิดชอบการกระทำของคุณเอง เพราะด้วยที่มันฆ่าไม่ตาย นั่นหมายถึง สิ่งที่คุณพิมพ์หรือโพสลงไป จะไม่สามารถลบหรือแก้ไขได้เช่นกัน แม้แต่ตัวคุณเองก็ตาม ดังนั้นไต่ตรองให้ดีถ้าจะสร้างเนื้อหา เพราะมันจะบันทึกสิ่งที่คุณทำไว้ตลอดไป แต่ถ้าเรายังไม่มั่นใจเราลองเล่นแบบเป็นคนอ่านก่อนก็ได้ครับ พอเราใช้คล่องขึ้น มีสติสัมปชัญญะเพียงพอ ก็เริ่มทักทายคนในนั้นได้ มันไม่น่ากลัวหรอกครับ เพราะหัวใจหล้กของ nostr คือการเข้าสังคม สร้างสังคมคุณภาพ มากกว่าการโพสเท่ๆเอาไลค์ เพราะ มันไม่มีอัลกอลิทึ่มใดๆ เขายึดมั่นใน proof of work ไลฟ์ของเราจะไม่โดนปิดกั้น โพสของเราจะไม่โดนลดการมองเห็น ถ้ามันมีคุณภาพเพียงพอที่คนจะเลือกติดตามชม ถ้ามองเห็นกลลวงของโซเชียลแล้ว ตอนหน้า จะรวบรัด ลงหลุมกระต่ายกันเลย เอาแบบโหลดแล้วเล่นก่อน แล้วเรียนไปพร้อมๆกับเล่นนี่แหละ ถ้าทุกคนเริ่มวันนี้ อิสระก็จะเริ่มยิ่งใหญ่วันนี้ แล้วก็จะไม่มีคำว่า คนมันยังน้อยอยู่ เคยดูหนังไหมครับ เช่นตอนเปิดแผ่นดินใหม่ ใครขี่ม้าไปปักธงจองอาณาเขตได้ก่อน ก็จะคุ้นชินพื้นที่นั้นๆได้ก่อนใครครับ #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #Siamstr

There have been alot of talks about testnet3, after it been running for almost 11 years bitcoin core can not reset it. It become too decentralize.  Some people forked testnet3 and made testnet4 with higher blocks space, due testnet3 having value and can not be resets ! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GP7gEf8aYAAnTQj?format=jpg&name=large  Now we have 11 years old chain we dont know what to do with it, and nobody can stop it !

Woke up at the crack of dawn today in my dorm, just past 5 am, to a flurry of activity. The two guests who checked in yesterday were already checking out, including the Chinese woman who'd been here for almost two weeks. With the room suddenly quiet, I grabbed my phone to check my account – hoping to see the tokens I'd transferred the previous day. But to my surprise, they were nowhere to be found.  This unexpected early check-out (most hostels allow check-in after 2 pm) left me with a private room for a brief moment, a small perk amidst the confusion. But back to the real issue – my missing Blurt tokens. Yesterday, I wrote a Hive Engine tutorial on transferring Blurt to your Blurt account. However, when I tried it myself, my 705 Blurt vanished into thin air. Completely baffled, I spent my morning researching after breakfast. While I knew transfers take time, I didn't expect it to take all night, let alone be missing by 10 am. As a result, the Hive Engine tutorial will have to wait. I need to get to the bottom of this missing transfer before finalizing it. With no set plans for today and a foot still causing trouble, my biggest hope is for a speedy recovery on both fronts – my foot and the missing Blurt! After hitting publish on this post, I'll be diving back in to figure out how to spend this unplanned day. Here's to hoping for a swift resolution and a chance to explore soon (on a pain-free foot, of course)! (Image: Screenshot of Hive Engine transfer)

**I'm reposting this in order to fix the images and get it correctly onto my npub.pro site** What is this ?  _My Futurebit Apollo Miner in action_ Futurebit is a company that manufactures home miners for retail users (see futurebit.io) - you can check out details on their website. These are targeted at individuals that want to participate in mining with an easy to use, quiet miner that does not use a ton of electricity. The idea here is to try and stay true to the original bitcoin concept of a computer which runs the bitcoin software and mines bitcoin, all in one. While mining has obviously evolved into a commercial industry and the mining process has long been separated from running a bitcoin node, I think there are still some valid reasons to want to participate in the mining process and attempt to keep this original ethos alive: 1. You learn a lot about bitcoin from mining. Reading about the process is one thing, but actually getting a machine running, pointing it towards the pool of your choice, and seeing the bitcoin process from this perspective is something I've found very enjoyable (mining is probably my favorite part of bitcoin, if I had to choose one). It can also be a gateway drug to more advanced mining, so...heavy care. 2. It is marginally valuable to the network. Sure, one person running a futurebit miner is nothing compared to the hashrate of MARA. But, if you have tens of thousands of plebs all running their own miners from home, pointing their hashpower to the pool of their choice, it does provide a legitimate decentralizing anchor to large mining actors. Every pleb should be participating in mining, in my opinion, and the Futurebit Apollo miner offers a casual and unobtrusive avenue to do just that. Now, the Futurebit Apollo Miner you most commonly see is the 'Full Package.' The Full Package is an Orange Pi computer running on a custom linux distribution. You basically boot it up, and it starts running bitcoin core and mining in a few clicks. That is very cool, and I did own one. However, I will say that the Full Package is, unfortunately, not a great product. I won't go into too much detail, but its a very poor quality computer, the security upkeep of the custom linux distribution is lacking, and I found connecting to the node to use with wallets to be very difficult. The mining was also consistently inturrupted due to the pi freezing up. You are better off going with a different option for running a bitcoin node. This is simply to say, I dislike the Full Package Futurebit Apollo Unit. With that said, I very much like the 'Standard Unit'. The Standard Unit is simply a mining hashboard without the computer OS that comes with the Full Package. I've been running two Standard Units in my house for 18 months now and they just quietly hum along in my house, I barely notice them and they rarely need to be restarted (honestly I can't think of more than 3 times that I needed to troubleshoot and even then it was typically restarting the miner). They are a great way to make your personal contribution to the security of the bitcoin network. (Please Note: These things are pretty pricey brand new, so don't even think about buying one as being a profitable choice. You can sometimes find decent deals for them used, but buyer beware I can't speak to that experience. This is about hands-on learning about bitcoin mining and participating in the security of the network with a machine that won't drive your family crazy and that I believe is well-built enough to last you a long time. Heck, you could even set one up at your office and I doubt anyone would notice and mine with free electricity.) So, that's some background. Now, a standard unit is not the most friendly user experience if you are not used to using command line. I wasn't, but I spent a lot of time figuring it out. With this guide, any user should be able to get a Standard Unit hashing :) Here is the step by step process guide on how to run a standard unit, in use with both a Windows OS computer and a Linux OS computer (Ubuntu is what I use)...enjoy. **I. Linux** Your Futurebit Apollo Standard Unit (referred to from here as 'the Unit') miner comes with a power supply and a usb cable. It's pretty straight forward, but you will want to connect the Unit to the computer of your choice (the computer needs to be on and running while you are mining, so a low power consumption computer and/or a computer that you are already running all the time for some other reason would be best). Also, plug in the power supply to your unit and turn it on (there are instructions in the Unit's manual for how to hook up the power supply correctly). 1. Go to https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries 2. You'll land on a page that looks like this:  For the purposes of this guide, I am going to be using the 'linux-x86_64' package as it is most appropriate for my computer. But, you would need to select the appropriate binaries for your computer. Odds are, if you are running ubuntu on your laptop or desktop, you are going to use the 'linux-x86_64' package. 3. Once you have clicked on the linux-x86_64 folder, you will land here:  Open each of these 4 files and download them using the 'Download Raw File' link in each file's page. Here is an example:  Once you have downloaded, I'd recommend making a folder and putting all 4 of the files into that folder. I am going to make a folder with the name 'Mining Files'. I am also going to move the folder out of my Downloads folder (not necessary, but I'd recommend as it's not a great place to park a folder you want to hold onto). I am going to move it to my Documents Folder:  4. Now, if you do not have a mining pool account, you will need to make one, otherwise you should be able to use your pool credentials in the next step. Alternatively, you can solo mine using solo.ckpool.org with only a btc address. However, for the purposes of this guide I am going to assume that you are using Braiins pool. If necessary, go ahead and make a login at braiins.com/pool. Note the username and password as we will need that later. 5. From the files that you downloaded in step 3, we are going to double-click on 'start_apollo.sh' and open it up in Text Editor. The first 60 lines or so are explanations on how to prepare this script for your use. However, I am going to run you through all the options to update, so you shouldn't need to read the description. Instead, we are going to focus on the text in black font at the bottom of the file:  We need to update the info in the following fields as follows -host = stratum.braiins.com -port = 3333 -user = username for your Braiins login. I'll use "braiinsexample" for now. -pswd = password for your Braiins login. I'll use "Password123" for now. -comport = Most likely "/dev/ttyACM0" or "/dev/ttyACM1" or "/dev/ttyACM2" -brd_ocp = 48 -osc = 30 -ao_mode = 1 So, when our file is set up correctly, it will look like:  Make sure to save, then close out of text editor. 6. Now, start up terminal on your computer. First, we are going to want to get into the correct directory. In our case, our file is in Documents > Mining Files. So, you would input the following command: cd ~/Documents/Mining Files Once you are in the correct directory, we will run the following command: sudo ./start_apollo.sh You will likely be prompted to enter your computer's password, input the password and, if all goes well, you should see a result like this in your terminal:  You are now mining! The setting we use run the Unit ins 'eco mode', which should yield 2 terahash per second in terms of mining power (you can monitor the performance from your respective mining pool dashboard). As long as you keep this terminal window open and the computer on that is connected to the miner, and you will be mining away :) **II. Windows** Your Futurebit Apollo Standard Unit (referred to from here as 'the Unit') miner comes with a power supply and a usb cable. It's pretty straight forward, but you will want to connect the Unit to the computer of your choice (the computer needs to be on and running while you are mining, so a low power consumption computer and/or a computer that you are already running all the time for some other reason would be best). Also, plug in the power supply to your unit and turn it on (there are instructions in the Unit's manual for how to hook up the power supply correctly). 1. Go to https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries 2. You'll land on a page that looks like this:  For Windows, you will click on the folder titled 'msvc19'. You'll see 2 files to download, go ahead and click on each and click 'Download Raw File' for each. Please Note: Windows may see this file as a virus, so you may need to 'allow on device' in your virus & threat protection of your windows security service.  3. Once you have downloaded each file, I'd recommend making a folder and putting all of the files into that folder. I am going to make a folder with the name 'Mining Files'. I am also going to move the folder out of my Downloads folder (not necessary, but I'd recommend as it's not a great place to park a folder you want to hold onto). I am going to move it to my Documents Folder:  4. Now, if you do not have a mining pool account, you will need to make one, otherwise you should be able to use your pool credentials in the next step. Alternatively, you can solo mine using solo.ckpool.org with only a btc address. However, for the purposes of this guide I am going to assume that you are using Braiins pool. If necessary, go ahead and make a login with at braiins.com/pool. Note the username and password as we will need that later. 5. From the files that you downloaded in step 3, we are going to right click on 'start_apollo' and select 'edit'. The file will open up in notepad. The first 60 lines or so are explanations on how to prepare this script for your use. However, I am going to run you through all the options to update, so you shouldn't need to read the description. Instead, we are going to focus on the text in black font at the bottom of the file:  We need to update the info in the following fields as follows -host = stratum.braiins.com -port = 3333 -user = username for your Braiins login. I'll use "braiinsexample" for now. -pswd = password for your Braiins login. I'll use "Password123" for now. -comport = go to the 'Device Manager' service on your computer, expand the 'Ports' section, and you should find a 'USB serial device' with COM#. Update with your COM# (COM1, COM2, COM3, etc). -brd_ocp = 48 -osc = 30 -ao_mode = 1 So, when our file is set up correctly, it will look like:  6. Now that the file is ready, save the file and exit out of notepad. You should be able to simply double-click on the file. The command prompt services will pop-up on your desktop, and should reflect this, indicating your connection is successful and mining has begun:  You are now mining! The setting we use run the Unit ins 'eco mode', which should yield 2 terahash per second in terms of mining power (you can monitor the performance from your respective mining pool dashboard). As long as you keep this terminal window open and the computer on that is connected to the miner, and you will be mining away :) originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/603076

***I'm reposting this article I wrote some time ago again to fix the images for it on my npub.pro site*** In my previous post, I explained how to use your getalby ln address to receive zaps directly to your LND node. Similarly, there is an additional option that one can utilize to receive zaps directly to your lightning node: lnaddress.com. Lnaddress.com is a federated lightning address server that you can use to create a custom ln address. Unlike using getalby, lnaddress.com can be used with any lightning implementation (not just LND). For the purposes of this write-up, I am going to use LNBits to connect an lnaddress.com lightning address with my node. And as will be the case with most of my write-ups, I am going to be using Start9 OS, so users of that OS will likely find this write-up most useful, but I'm sure people using other node interfaces can infer how to complete this set up as well. With that said, let's dive into the step-by-step on how to create your own custom ln address with lnaddress.com and set it up to receive zaps directly to your lightning node: *Users should have lnbits set up with their lightning node before proceeding. 1. Go to lnaddress.com. Input your desired username, select 'Node Backend Type' = LNBits, and if necessary check the box 'This is a new lightning address'. Keep this page open in one tab as we will be returning to it to input info. 2. From your Start9 OS services page, go to your LNBits service. Open the 'Properties' page, and in a new tab, open the (Tor) Superuser Account. Page will look like this:  From this LNbits page, you can choose to 'add a new wallet' and use that wallet instead of your superuser account. That is up to you but the steps will be the same. 3. Now, we need to grab the info needed for the 'Host Protocol + IP or Domain + Port' field on the lnaddress.com page. On the lnbits page, expand the 'Api Docs' field, and the 'Get Wallet Details' field found on the right hand side menu. In this 'Get Wallet Details' section, you will want to copy some of the URL found in the 'curl example' section. Copy 'http://xxxxxx.onion' (don't copy any more!), and paste this into the 'Host (Protocol + IP or Domain + Port' field found on the lnaddress.com page.  4. Next, we need to grab the key for your lnbits wallet. From the lnbits page, expand the API docs section found on the right hand side menu. Copy the 'Invoice/read key' (make sure to use the invoice/read key and not your Admin key), and paste it into the key field found on the lnaddress.com page. Upon pasting in that last piece of info, click 'submit' at the bottom of the page. 5. If all info was input correctly, your connection will be successful. If successful, you will be brought to a page that looks like this:  You will want to save this secret PIN in case you need to update info in your ln address. You'll also find a test lightning invoice of 1 sat. Using a wallet not connected to the node we connected to our new ln address, you can test the ln address out by paying the 1 sat test invoice. Users of Start9 OS might find the following info particularly useful: This ln address via lnaddress.com comes with a couple advantages aside from self-custodial zap receiving: - One, you can have a custom ln address username to go with your nym or nostr username. Users of Start9 may be familiar with the ln address one can generate in the btcpay server service. This ln address is not customizable. - Two, if you are running a tor only lightning node, you will be able to receive zaps from both tor and clear net lightning nodes. Users of Start9 may be familiar with the ln address one can generate in the btcpay server service. This ln address can only receive zaps from other tor nodes and can't receive zaps from clear net nodes. That is it, you should now be all set up with your new ln address hosted on lnaddress.com, and you should be all ready to receive zaps or lightning payments of any kind :) originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/603061

QUESTION: So I found this shareware game: [game](https://binb.co/) [repo](https://github.com/lpinca/binb?tab=readme-ov-file) I want to turn it into a lightning/nostr game, kind of like that [lntictactoe game](https://stacker.news/items/451880/r/jasonb). I just like the idea of throwing some sats in on a guessing game like that, maybe even just loading them in up front for anybody that wants to play for some free sats. The license looks pretty, "do whatever you want",y to me, but maybe somebody that does this more often might have some more insight. >Copyright (c) 2012-2023 Luigi Pinca > >Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: > >The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. > >THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

Curious if the devs on SN have any insights, opinions, or recommendations regarding FP. I've been aware of it for many years, I get the basic concepts but I'm now working on a rewrite of an existing app and another dev and I are considering FP. Its gonna be a Typescript based node application likely using ExpressJS. My college is a huge advocate for FP and really likes [fp-ts](https://github.com/gcanti/fp-ts). originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/602772

Hey everyone, Just wanted to give you a quick update on my travels. Unfortunately, I haven't been doing much exploring lately. I had a bit of an accident a few days ago while crossing the street in the dark. Since then, I've been mostly relaxing at the hostel, trying to keep my foot off it as much as possible. My daily routine has been pretty simple: wake up, shower, clean the wounds, grab breakfast, and then catch up on some work on my laptop. Not exactly the adventure I was hoping for, but hopefully it'll give my foot the rest it needs to heal quickly.  Speaking of the accident, let's just say it was a good reminder about the importance of being prepared, especially when traveling in Africa. Here, reliable access to electricity and Wi-Fi isn't always a guarantee. Luckily, the hostel I'm staying at has both, which is a real plus. However, frequent power outages are common, and having a flashlight is a lifesaver – literally! In my case, the power was out when I tried to cross the street. Because I couldn't see a thing, I decided to walk to a crosswalk for better visibility. Big mistake. There was a curb at the crosswalk that I completely missed in the darkness. Tripped, fell, and ended up hurting my foot, knee, and hands.  Thankfully, the damage wasn't too severe. My knee and hands just had some minor scrapes, but my toes took the brunt of the fall. The hostel, unfortunately, didn't have a first-aid kit, but a kind fellow traveler from Egypt came to the rescue with some antiseptic fluid. Huge thanks to him for that! Since the accident, I've been keeping the wounds open to the air, but today I noticed some signs of infection. So, I ventured out to a larger pharmacy to pick up some supplies and some disinfectant spray. Hopefully, this will help clear things up. On a brighter note, the hostel has a fantastic rooftop bar and restaurant with Wi-Fi, which has become my hangout spot for the past few days. The view isn't too bad either! **Lesson Learned:** Always take your flashlight out of your bag when it's dark outside, no matter how confident you feel. A little extra caution can go a long way in preventing accidents. From now on, my flashlight is coming out of my bag at dusk – no exceptions!  In the picture, you'll see my temporary workspace. I've spared you the close-up of my toes – trust me, it's not pretty! Thanks for reading everyone, and have a great day! ### Online [Profile Page](https://rubenstorm.de.cool/) | [Support Page](https://rubenstorm.12hp.de/)

## Chef's notes Sprinkle a pinch of salt in a bowl. Sift 275 grams of flour above it. Make a well in the center of the flour and sprinkle the yeast into it. Add 50 grams of butter, 25 grams of sugar, and the egg. Pour in the milk and knead the dough with the mixer or by hand into a smooth dough. If necessary, add a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky. Form the dough into a ball. Let the dough rise covered with cling film at room temperature for 1 hour. Peel the apples. Cut the apples and apricots into pieces. Cook the fruit with 150 grams of sugar and 50 ml of water in 15 minutes into a thick compote. Let this fruit filling cool. Knead the dough again briefly and roll it out to a round sheet of about 28-30 cm in diameter, so that it fits well over the baking tin. Press the dough into the tin and press it well into the corners. Let the dough rise again for 10 minutes and cut off the excess edges. Spread the fruit filling over the dough. Mix the rest of the flour with the remaining 100 grams of butter and 100 grams of sugar and knead it with your fingers into a crumbly mixture. Sprinkle this crumble mixture over the fruit filling. Bake the tart in the preheated oven at 200°C for about 30 minutes until golden brown. Variations: Only apple? Make this tart with 1 kilo of apples. High or low? You can also bake the crumble tart in a low tart tin of 30 cm diameter. If the fruit filling is a bit too voluminous, you can make double the crumble mixture and sprinkle it over the larger surface area. Additional needs: Mixer with dough hooks or food processor Cling film Round baking tin with a diameter of 28-30 cm, greased ## Details - ⏲️ Prep time: 45 min + 1 hour Rising - 🍳 Cook time: 30 minutes - 🍽️ Servings: 8 ## Ingredients - 375 grams flour - 1 packet dried yeast (7 grams) - 125 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature - 275 grams sugar - 1 egg - 100 ml milk, at room temperature - 500 grams apples - 500 grams apricots (fresh or from a can) ## Directions 1. Sprinkle a pinch of salt in a bowl. Sift 275 grams of flour above it. Make a well in the center of the flour and sprinkle the yeast into it. Add 50 grams of butter, 25 grams of sugar, and the egg. Pour in the milk and knead the dough with the mixer or by hand into a smooth dough. If necessary, add a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky. Form the dough into a ball.

## Chef's notes More information about its origins: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda_bread ## Details - ⏲️ Prep time: 10 min - 🍳 Cook time: 45 min - 🍽️ Servings: 4-8 ## Ingredients - 500 gr whole grain flour - 450 ml butter milk - 10 gr (sea)salt - 15 gr baking soda (not US's "baking powder") (also known as sodium bicarbonate) - a bit of butter or olive oil ## Directions 1. Pre-heat the oven to 220°C 2. Put all flour in a bowl with baking soda and salt. Mix it well. 3. Create a hole in the middle and pour all butter milk in the center. 4. Stir it from the centre and slowly mixing all together until you get a dough. 5. When mixed, the dough is sticky. Use all purpose flour on counter and bulge to the same size as your skillet. 6. Use a bit of butter or olive oil to wet the skillet to prevent sticky bread. And put the dough in your skillet. 7. Add a but of flour on top of the dough and then cut lightly a X. 8. Bake for ±45 min on 220°C until done (inside temperature must be at least 95°C). Turn up the heat for the last 5 min to get a crust. 9. Let the bread cool down a bit before taking it out the skillet, and let it cool down even more before eating. 10. Donate some sats to me if you like this recipe.

# Sovereign Souls *These little entities:* Feet patter freely, knees against me. *Excitment seeking entities:* Eyes in constant scan for fuscia flowers, limbs in constant contact with ground. *Can't be corraled kind of entities:* In a beat, in a flash, once here now there, static fist clenching things undesirable.  # Engaging Enclosures  Mind racing, I seek solace in their corraling. Bags of water balloons are enthralling. As the balloons fill, they linger. Bouncing trying to plunge in a finger.  # Playground Pioneers  An exchange of glances with my wife and we're off. Little boy on my shoulders seeking a high colored prism. Little girl through tunnels offering a hand in altruism.

Five little heads brush past me in the foyer as I enter the house. I get a “Hey Daddio,” and “Love you Dad,” then a punch in the thigh, “‘sup dad,” from my two girls and little boy. The neighbor's two girls are polite only in that they say their hellos but no one stops to give me the time of day. I hold the door open for the little band of miscreants and watch them make their way to the front yard. “Let’s play tag,” says my eldest as she stretches her hands out high above her head. I turn and notice my wife smiling at me, leaning against the kitchen island. “No, you always hide in the woods,” says one of the neighbors. I kiss my wife on the forehead, tell her I love her, and say, “I’ve got dinner tonight. You had a tough day.” “Nuh-uh. I won’t. That phantom man is in there.” I wince and look at Jasmine to see if she had heard that. She did and says, “I didn’t want to believe it but I’ve heard them talk about it a few times already so I asked Tanner if he and Andrea had heard the kids talking about the man in the forest. They’re worried about it.” “Have you seen anything strange?” I ask. Jasmine steps up to the floor to ceiling window in the breakfast nook and peers at the forest across the cul de sac. She purses her lips and shakes her head, “No. You?” I say, “Nope,” as I pull out the ingredients I’ll be using for dinner tonight. “We’ve taught the kids well. They know not to go near strangers. I’ll see if I can maneuver the camera to keep an eye on the woodline. Yeah?” “Yes, that sounds good,” says Jasmine, relaxing and settling into one of the breakfast nook table chairs. “I didn’t get the Letterman account.” I take out the chicken from the refrigerator and say, “I figured as much from the way you sounded on the phone. Look, all is not lost. You just need to get a hold of someone who knows him well.” Jasmine crosses her arms and peers out at the kids outside, “I don’t know. I might have to take this one as a loss.” “No! You can’t give up,” I try to get her spirits up by reaching for a bottle of wine from the rack above the refrigerator. She smiles when I pour her a glass and puts a hand on mine to hold me for a while after I leave the glass in front of her. “You’re still in control. You can figure this out.” “Sometimes things are just out of our control David.” I stare back slack jawed, “Things are always in our control Jasmine. We didn’t get this far in life by pretending everything was predestined.” I laugh as I grip a handful air and say, “I’ve got life by the balls baby. Always have. That’s why we have such a splendid house, such a nice life.” “Don’t give yourself all the credit, big guy.” I turn back to the chicken with a smile and start preparing dinner. “Hey Google, play Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton.” An upbeat voice from the little circular speaker on the kitchen island replies, “Sure, Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton.” Chris Stapleton’s classic four strums of the guitar echo out of the speaker and I dance as I marinate the chicken. I love the sound of the children enjoying themselves outside going along to the music; love the feeling of the chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper grind between my fingertips as I rub it into the chicken. The oil heats in the pan releasing a little wisp of smoke. The chicken sizzles in the pan and releases a hearty aroma. When I rise from the pan, I notice Jasmine is standing at the window again, cup of wine in hand. Twilight is settling in but the street lights haven’t kicked on yet. Jasmine is strangely close to the window, I figure she’s enjoying the sight of the kids as their shadows zip past in front of her like specters in the night. “David. I see something in the woodline.” I shoot to her side and peer out the window along with her. The kids' shadows stalk in the night but I can’t make out anything across the cul de sac. “I don’t see anything.” Jasmine plants a finger in the windowpane, “Right there. There, it's definitely someone out there. There’s a neighborhood on the other side of that treeline isn’t there?” I strain to catch a glimpse at what she’s looking at and say, “I don't see anything. I, uh, I think there’s a neighborhood back there yeah.”  The street lights kick on. A man stands just out of reach of the street light on the far end of the cul de sac. “Holy fuck,” I say under my breath. “Kids, come inside please!” shouts Jasmine. “Aww c’mon mom. Just a bit longer,” calls out my son. “Zach, get inside like your mother told you,” I growl and take my gaze away from the man for a second to sneer at my boy through the window. By the time I look back the man’s gone. “Where’d he go?” Jasmine’s eyebrows raised, “He uh, just kind of vanished. Looks like he was never really there. Look,” She points at a tree shaped strangely enough like a man. “Maybe it was just that tree we were looking at.” I didn’t take any chances. I tell the kids to come in and I maneuver the security cameras to get a good vantage of the place where the man had vanished. The next morning I help the kids get ready for school and personally walk them to their bus stop. Still no man in the woods. Shortly after I return to the house I kiss my wife goodbye and wish her good luck at work. Just as she pulls out of the cul de sac, as I am walking to my truck, I notice a figure in my peripheral vision but I don’t turn knowing I might scare him away. I halfway sit in my truck and shift the rearview mirror to where I’d seen him. There he is. The man stands several feet inside the forest. Greenery conceals him up to his torso and I can barely see his face in the shadows of the forest, but his figure is clear. I consider calling the police, no, they won’t make it in time. I take a deep breath, count down from three, and burst out of my car into a sprint toward the man in the woods. The man doesn’t move an inch as I approach but somehow it seems as if the forest deepens around him. As I get closer his relative position from me grows further, but the man doesn’t take a step. It's as if the world around the man grows further and further out of focus the closer and closer I get. I hear the leaves crushing beneath my footfalls and I look back for a second feeling as if I’d been running on a treadmill for the past few seconds. My house is barely visible through the foliage. I whipped my attention back at the man but he’s gone and I grind to a halt. I scrutinize the woods, the man has vanished. My breaths slow, nearly holding my breath I listen intently for the sound of crushing leaves. The crunching leaves come from behind me at an alarming pace. Whatever is approaching is running fast. I turn, ready for someone to tackle me, but there is no one there, the footfalls go silent. I curse under my breath and peer back at my house. It's hard to make out now that I’m so deep in the woods, but it looks like the neighbor’s kids are out in front of my house. I shake my head and look down at my watch wondering how much time I’d wasted chasing the phantom man. I wince at the readout on my watch, five pm. Maybe I hit one of the program buttons while I was sprinting into the woods? There’s a whisper in the wind, “Must of hit..” I turn to the whispers. Another whisper behind me, “One of the program buttons.” I turn. I feel light in my own skin. There’s nothing behind me, no one around me, but I continue to hear the voice whispering. “Five PM. Five?” I’m literally beside myself. I know it's my own voice I’m hearing but I’m not sure if it's my thoughts or an illusion, just the wind blowing. Maybe it’s the shifting tree branches and my paranoia. The sun is bright, blinding. Suddenly, I’m seconds behind myself. I saw my hand shifting in the sunlight. Perhaps it was the fatigue from a sleepless night having been worried about the phantom man lurking in the forest outside my house. The disconnect in time was jarring as every movement jolted like a violent tectonic shift in my head. I felt like a witness to my own reality as it had just happened. I looked around and a sound off in the woods drew me deeper. The deeper I went, the dimmer the sunlight became. I ran faster and faster in chase of the sounds with the hopes I’d at least catch another glimpse of the phantom man. Then, my foot caught a taproot and I slammed into rich dirt, but my descent did not stop. The dirt splashed about me as if I’d fallen in a lake of darkness. The grains of dirt filled my lungs in my panic. A squirrel watched me trip and if only the gentle creature understood the mechanics of the universe he would’ve known where I had disappeared to. Unlike the squirrel, the tree on top whose branch it sat did not have the sense of sight to have seen me fall but it did encounter a minty sensation when it absorbed the nutrients of my being. I hadn’t granted the beings of its kind the sense of emotion, but somehow it still knew the sensation was good. It exhaled the vapors of me and enriched the atmosphere for the humans of that world. These little kinds of discoveries excited me. A design had led to an outcome I hadn’t thought possible and I saw that it was good. The cosmic specs continued their spread before me and it suddenly occurred to me I hadn’t paid much attention to the adjacent place. There it was still only nothingness, phantom echoes of my self reflection. All was good, but was it best? I’ve created many things, breathed life into endless inanimate things yet most of my existing universe still lingers motionless, pushed only by the initial momentum of the beginning. The life that has existed has worshiped me, prayed to me, cursed me, forgotten me and found me, but is it best? Perhaps I’ll never know until I compare it with another. So it is. From my word bubbled a new momentum from unfathomable depths. All possibilities confounded and reverberated and again there was an atmosphere charged with my essence, what would these new humans do with it? The tree inhaled my essence and it was good. The squirrel watched a man disappear into the earth and it was good. Grains of dirt filled my lungs and dispersed from my nose and it was good. I was spat out from the depths of the universe and on my feet I chased the phantom man in the direction of my home. The sun had receded into the horizon and time had regressed to a moment. Beyond the foliage I see my children play with the neighbors. Their laughter is alarmingly delicious to my ears as if I hadn’t heard that sweet sound in an unfathomable expanse of time. There I am in the window, looking this way. Then suddenly, the street light kicks on. “Holy fuck,” says David under his breath. I shout, “Kids, come inside please!”

If you were financially set, right here, right now, what is it that you would start doing? If you could do whatever it is your heart has always desired, what would you do? And I want you to dare to think big, because the fiat world confines us to thinking safe and small, but as stackers we must start thinking freaking big and strive towards it and refuse to settle for less. I'll start: - I will build my own soccer club, and it will be providing immense value to my local community by bringing people together, and by being a space where everyone can learn about soccer, about optimizing health, and of course about Bitcoin. - I will be doing some sort of philanthropic work, not sure in what way but in some meaningful way. - I will be happily married to my partner and we will be building our life together, seeing more of the world, experiencing more of what this beautiful world has to offer. - I will help pay off my friend's debt and support him in his goal to become healthier. - I will continue to strive towards becoming the best athlete and nerd I can become. - I will open up my own gym combined with a soccer field. - I will donate to my friend's business that he is in the process of building as without him I would not be the athlete and person I am today. - I will pay for whatever it is my parents desire, all of it. - I will pay for whatever it is my love desires and more. Just a few things that I will do when I am financially free. Don't let your fiat mind hold you back, think big, be brave and be bold! You have obtained financial freedom. It is done. So what amazing things are you going to do with this freedom? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/600417

Nikolai Kardashev proposed a categorization of hypothetical alien societies based on how much energy they could use in their technology. > Types of civilization: > Type 1: harness 100% of the energy available on the planet. > Type 2: harness the power of their entire star. Did you know that humanity is not even on the Kardashev scale yet, here in 2024! It's crazy to think that all our collective advancements haven't resulted in global peace, unity, or collective efforts to get along. All that energy has been wasted on petty feuds, pointless arguments, and evil hatred. We would be much further ahead if we had collective incentives that were aligned to be honest and true. Even if we weren't honest and true, the tools in place could make it intuitive and trivial to verify the deception. This would lead dishonest individuals to be outcasted in society and be punished for it automatically. Kinda sounds familiar...hmmmm... Taking advantage of all the energy available to us on earth requires the usage of different forms of fuel and different modes of transporting that energy. The energy will have to be stored efficiently and transported effortlessly. Enter bitcoin and humanity’s big leap into a Kardashev Type 1 society. Bitcoin helps us achieve a Type 1 level society and helps us take a big leap towards advancing into a Type 2 level society. Bitcoin is trivially easy to verify if it's a valid transaction and helps us stay honest in the proof-of-work that was completed to mine a block. Transporting this form of energy is also easy because it can be sent to anyone anywhere in the world at a fraction of the cost to mine it, via the internet, telecom infrastructure, or satellite. First, we must think beyond ourselves and grow as an intergalactic species. We must play at a higher level. Until next time bitcoin reader.

au nom des commerçants Oui, conserver Bitcoin pour toujours est honorable, logique et sage. Et je comprends que cela signifie NE PAS utiliser réellement dans le commerce, je comprends. Pour aider les humains du monde à utiliser réellement Bitcoin à chaque instant dans le cadre de leurs transactions commerciales, pas seulement pour acheter une tasse de café ou une bière à l'aide d'une facture éclair, mais aussi pour le commerce de gros de produits en gros entre pays, nous devrions considérer quand Les humains font réellement ça ? Comment pouvons-nous éduquer, justifier, expliquer ou soutenir la volatilité de la fixation d'un prix de vente dans SATS Bitcoin ? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/600307

Eventually some smaller suppliers/exporters and buyers/importers will use Bitcoin Factoring. Actually a great idea. Minor detail when any Company in ANY Country imports and/or exports, there is so much paperwork and logging by various Government agencies that both parties in the sale or purchase of the goods still have to declare in fiat usually the USD. However, a few brave souls out there are taking about using Bitcoin for Factoring instead of using fiat. Actually smaller garment and textile companies are already seeing that this will probably be used sooner rather than later in: Cambodia Belarus El Salvador Hong Kong Honolulu (NOT "Hawaii"). India Laos Mexico Russia (2025 with or without a finish to the war). Thailand Vietnam My biggest complaint from my peers in other Countries is that their own Governments keep changing what is "allowed" this year versus previous years, or this extra taxation, regardless it's coming, the actual use in B2B transactions using Bitcoin. These are some the realities suppliers and buyers have to deal with What is the declared price in fiat ? What is the price of Bitcoin at the time of the payment ? What was the payor's DCA of the Bitcoin they have possession of ? Here again, smaller companies can just bypass a factoring their invoices and collect payment in Bitcoin, fast much, much cheaper and breaking up in to smaller installment payments via Lightning seems like the baby steps in trying this out. We are so early, please keep in mind this handy reference: Honolulu has many many flights every day from Asia and South East Asia, there are many business people that use Honolulu as a stepping stone to get started doing business in the USA Why ? 1. We are in the middle of the Ocean very few "factories" here, we have to import and export. 2. It's logical to use Bitcoin, wire transfers are expensive and time consuming to process. 4. Multiple "installment payment(s) and or deposit payments, or shipping payments, etc. can be done via Lightning payments, Zaprite invoicing is a good start for your customers they will see the option to pay with Bitcoin, or ACH, or a card, or link to square or stripe etc. 5. It's a sales tool as it can create communication about factoring, and move to just giving or getting a discount of payment is made using Bitcoin. Other Issues A. Some Bitcoin payment providers and wallets are "leaving" or no longer support doing any transaction in the USA. B. Whether your a buyer or seller of goods, If you are holding some Bitcoin that you DCA'ed as your starting point then it's easier to quote what your comfortable with. C. Look at where tourism is doing good, growing is logically where your newer markets are to go to, especially if your an American. D. Do NOT underestimate the trade in Belarus, Cambodia, Honolulu (NOT Hawaii), Hungary, India, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Myanmar, Poland, Russia, Thailand, Ukraine, Vietnam it's already taking place. Leave World politics aside, your either a merchant or not, the discussion here is about doing business. E. Position your company to have at least one distributor, dealer, agent that is standing by and is familiar with your products. F. Do NOT waste your time with these Countries, remember their stance on the lock downs before. Australia (EXCEPT PERTH it's ok), Canada, New Zealand, The United Kingdom. G. Contact me if your an actual business person interested in selling your goods to destinations OUTSIDE of the USA. No business reports or academia discussions, merchant mentality only please. H. Trump will probably shake up things with tariff comments, just stay the course, think opportunities in BOTH Importing AND Exporting. Do NOT think like a generic American, get straight to the point, think one page pdf brochures. I. Friendly reminders USA uses UPC-A barcodes rest of the World varies.

**50% of the Bitcoin held with Unchained* will be seized by the US government within 10 years: a thought experiment ** Let me start by saying that I believe collaborative multisig is strictly better than leaving on an exchange, an ETF, or other paper Bitcoin options. I have extensively tested collaborative multisig at the 3 most well known providers: Unchained, Casa, and Nunchuk. My participation in Bitcoin Twitter and Nostr has led me to the conclusion that KYC collaborative multisig is shockingly easy to seize. If you care about this topic I will assume you are already based enough that you need no primer on the horrid fiscal situation of the governments of the USA, EU, China, etc. A 6102 (President FDR ordering the seizure of all privately held gold) type event feels escalatingly likely in the short term, and almost inevitable in the medium term. There are a few indisputable facts everyone must accept: Most users of collaborative multisig have at least 1 key (probably 2) at one of the following: their home, a bank safety deposit box, or other highly logical place in their immediate vicinity. Unchained multisig vaults are fully KYC. Meaning they have a list of your name, email address, and home address right next to your BTC holdings amount, 1 of 3 keys to your multisig, and even Social Security Number and more info if you use their loan or trading desk services. Hopefully you should immediately recognize the problem. The American government is 1 warrant away from having your full identity, BTC amount, and 1 of your 3 keys. Further they are most likely 1 visit to your home or bank away from having a 2nd key, and thus control of your BTC. Further, everyone must also accept that video verification is not much better than no verification. The government could also just come to your home (where you almost certainly have 1 key) and force you to submit a transaction request to Unchained. Per their own website Unchained does not have a specific minimum waiting period to submit transaction, e.g. it could be 1-2 days if you submit on a slow Monday or it could be 3-5 days if you submit over a weekend during a crowded Mempool. Even before considering AI fakes, video verification is simply not secure. It is quite easy to have someone stand out of shot holding you and/or your family hostage. The American government also has more than enough prison capacity to hold anyone indefinitely they need to while waiting for transactions to process. Sit and ruminate on the fact that all the government needs to do to take your Bitcoin is enter your home, use their monopoly on violence, and not so politely ask you to sign with your key and request Unchained sign with theirs. After a brief delay, all your BTC is gone forever! There is a brutal cognitive dissonance in believing Bitcoin will become worth millions of dollars per coin, and simultaneously thinking the government will not bother to visit one office, a few homes, or a handful of banks for untold riches. If the government gets desperate, then large holders using KYCed collaborative multisig are a potentially appealing target. Yes it is strictly harder to seize than an ETF or on an exchange, but that doesn’t make it foolproof. The easiest target is often the overconfident one. It would likely be too difficult to discretely visit many places and hold many people for enough time to seize all coins held by Unchained, but grabbing a significant portion of the largest holders before news broke is certainly plausible. Maybe I’m underestimating Unchained and they’re willing to go to prison for life, and during a government raid would wipe their servers rather than hand them over. But would you trust that with your life savings? I would not. In my assessment for users with less technical knowledge non-KYC multisig options such as Casa and Nunchuk are strictly better than a fully doxed option like Unchained. For those with more advanced technical knowledge the potential of miniscript and timelocks in Liana presents an even more secure option, albeit with the tradeoff of additional complexity. There is no free lunch. You must decide for yourself. Just please thoughtfully consider your options. I hope this is not taken as an attack at Unchained. I believe they are a solid Bitcoin only company doing some great work, but I also think they and their users drastically underestimate their current vulnerabilities. My hope is not to harm them in any way, but to force an uncomfortable conversation that the community needs to have. My greatest hope would be multisig makes strides in security across the industry. Taproot enabling multisigs to look like singlesigs and not placing all spending paths publicly on chain would be a great place to start. Miniscript next. These advanced security capabilities are available today via Liana and Anchorwatch. These are the next generation of multisig that the community desperately needs. They just haven’t realized it yet, but they will once a few Unchained customers publicly get their Bitcoins seized.

Alright. Been thinking about different ways to share photo memories with friends and family and will explain my thoughts on a few methods and then I want to hear what you like to do or was the last such event you participated in  There's something about reliving memories through images. It's not just nostalgia – I found it to be incredibly influencial on thinking about my whole life as kind of a story, bonding with people, and keep our most precious moments alive. But in this digital age, how we choose to revisit these memories? I've been thinking a lot about different ways to share photo memories with friends and family. To me, that's kind of the point of it all. I might be obsessive about gear and tech etc but in the end all that counts to me is the social aspect and sharing it with people. # Analog Projectors: Bringing back the old school slideshow vibes. Pros: Nostalgic feel, creates a "event" atmosphere, big screen impact. What I like about this is that making it an "event" lowers the social barrier of other people to actually engage in the activity. Cons: Setup can be a hassle, image quality varies, limited to physical slides or prints. You not only have to shoot analog - you have to shoot positive slides analog.  Maybe here is the point I should mention digital projectors as well. I know that this is what the purists do (maybe you are this, please tell me if so) and probably nice if you are rich enough to have a whole home theatre setup. I remember reading on Reddit that some people even insist on using the same cine lenses on their projectors that they shot a vacation with  I get the appeal of cinematic photos from an ARRI lens on Kodak Motion Picture Film. I get it. But for me that's a little too autistic no offense.  # Smart TV: The modern take on slideshows. Pros: Big screen experience, easy to control from your phone, good for group viewing. This is the biggest screen, most immersive setup, most inclusive for everyone to copy photos into a folder before hand. Cons: Requires some tech setup, can sometimes feel a bit too "produced". My personal experience is that this counterintuitively has the highest social barrier to do - even higher than doing analog projection as an "event". People don't like to commit to an calendar entry just for that. Might work well if tacked on onto the end of movie night or board game evening. # Prints: Going old school with fine art prints Pros: Tactile experience, no tech required, creates a physical keepsake Cons: Takes effort to organize, can be costly, not as easy to share widely  Prints can be as classy and fine art or as casual and posters as you want them to be. Great for looking at as a side activity during a bbq or board game night. It gets really expensive to print a dozen pics for every occasion tho. At this point I also want to encourage everyone to make a huuuge print if you ever take a pic that xould be a magnum opus. Once every decade event maximum IMO. [Bonus: video about printing papers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-Jn0F8L9OI&ab_channel=KyleMcDougall) # Looking at an iPhone together. Pros: Super convenient, always with you, great for spontaneous Cons: Small screen limits the impact, not at all immersive. On vacation photos from last year I want to feel like I'm right there again. Not very social as people tend to hunch over the phone, can feel a bit impersonal. Even when we share an iPad or phone I think there is something subconscious about a personal device that makes it feel less together  I can't stress enough that this subconscous barrier makes it so that IMO the bonding aspect here is really zero. Idk how to say it. # VR: The futuristic option for immersive photo experiences. Pros: Incredibly immersive, can feel like you're "in" the photo, great for panorama images which IMO one of the smart phone photography features that beats real cameras Cons: Expensive gear, isolating (usually one person at a time), can be overwhelming for some. I haven't tried Apple Vision Pro but it seems like this is still so so so far for a social event.  kinda dystopian. Maybe when I'm 90 and alone I'll do that scrolling through my entire life on the day before I die. # Digital Photo Frames I hate this one, it's just TV but worse. No pro&con list. Call me biased, whatever. # Conclusion I will try to do TV sessions tacked on to other events. I mentioned that the social barrier is high but I can't shoot everything on positive slides. I will also do fine art prints for 3-4 photos per vacation or real life thing where I took a camera. What's your preferred method for sharing photo memories? Do you prioritize convenience, social interaction, or immersion? Any cool ideas or methods I missed? Do you maybe disagree with the entire premise that socializing and reminiscing is the entire point? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/599904

 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-07-06/biden-narrows-trump-s-election-lead-in-key-states-after-debate-poll > (Bloomberg) -- President Joe Biden registered his best showing yet in a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult tracking poll of battleground states, even as voters offered withering appraisals of his debate performance amid panic within his party. My personal take aways from this: 1. People don't actually care about the candidates. It's more like a soccer game with red team blue team. 2. Remember swing states isn't one thing. The individual swing states go their individual directions. E.g. Pennsylvania is going to be red, Wisconsin is clearly unclear etc 3. As much as people like rhetorics like "blue wave" or "red wave" none of this is happening. The US is a 50/50 country. No election in the forseeable future will ever be 60/40 in one or the other direction. Unlike in the UK or France originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/598895

This is the second in a series of weekly updates detailing progress on bringing MLS protocol DMs and group messaging to Nostr. ## Previous Updates - [June 28th 2024](nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq9eemymaerqvwdc25f6ctyuvzx0zt3qld3zp5hf5cmfc2qlrzdh0qqxnzde38y6nvv3c8qunyd3hakfln0) ## Progress this week This week was mostly spent on the topic of how to properly publish prekey bundles and what would be needed in the bundle itself to make it workable. I've included an early version of the spec below for prekeys, and would love thoughts on it. Treat this as an alpha version, very subject to change. The other thing I spent time on was making changes to the OpenMLS library to add support for our custom ciphersuite. One issue that I've run into is that the IETF standard for HPKE doesn't include the secp256k1 curve. Because of this, the library being used in the OpenMLS library doesn't implement the necessary methods using our curve. Thankfully, there is another library with [an open PR](https://github.com/rozbb/rust-hpke/pull/59) (shout out to nostr:npub1yevrvtp3xl42sq06usztudhleq8pdfsugw5frgaqg6lvfdewfx9q6zqrkl for that!) that would fix this. Additionally, there's an [expired proposal](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-wahby-cfrg-hpke-kem-secp256k1-01.html) to add secp256k1 to the HPKE spec itself. I've bumped both of these and will continue to follow up. Even without the formal addition to the spec, if we have a working library, I can add that to the OpenMLS library. ## Spec Draft for Prekeys ### Initial keying material (Prekey Event) Each user that wishes to be reachable via MLS-based messaging MUST first publish a prekey event. Prekeys are used to authenticate and add members to groups (one-to-one DMs or groups with more than two participants) in an asynchronous way. The prekey event is a simple replaceable event and contains all the information needed to add a user to a group. Prekeys SHOULD be used only once. Resuse of prekeys can lead to replay attacks. In most cases, clients that implement this NIP will manage the creation and rotation of the prekey event. It's recommended that clients do so interactively with user consent in order to avoid overwriting prekeys created by other clients. #### Derived vs Ephemeral Prekeys Since prekeys are generated on a single device/client pair, the private key of the prekey must be either stored or generated in a way that can be deterministically recovered. The recommended approach is to use derived keys, generated in the manner described in [NIP-06](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/06.md). In this way, the user can respond to a new group request from any device/client pair, not just from the same device/client pair that created the initial prekey event. If using derived keys; * Clients MUST use `104` as the `account` level value and `0` at the `change` level value (e.g. `m/44'/1237'/104'/0/0`). * Keys are then generated using public derivation by incrementing the `address_index` level value. * Clients MUST include the full derivation path corresponding to the key used in the `content` field on the prekey event. * The `content` field MUST be encrypted using standard [NIP-44](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/44.md) encryption (encrypted to themselves). However, for added security (and consequently a more restrictive user experience), clients can chose to generate an ephemeral key and store the private key locally. This means that users will only be able to respond to new group requests from the same device/client pair and won't be able to respond at all if the prekey's private key is lost. Ephemeral keys can also be used with minimal degredation of UX if you're using a remote signer that can manage these keys. If using an ephemeral key; * The `content` field on the prekey event MUST be filled in with `EPHEMERAL` and then encrypted using standard [NIP-44](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/44.md) encryption (encrypted to themselves). This ensures that anyone looking at prekey events cannot tell whether it's a derived or an ephemeral prekey. #### Example Prekey Event ```json { "id": <id>, "kind": 10443, "created_at": <unix timestamp in seconds>, "pubkey": <main identity pubkey>, "content": <encrypted derivation path | EPHEMERAL>, "tags": [ ["mls_protocol_version", "1.0"], ["ciphersuite", "MLS_256_DHKEMK256_CHACHA20POLY1305_SHA256_K256"], ["pubkey", <prekey pubkey>], ["prekey_sig", <signature generated from hex encoded pubkey of the prekey>], ["r", "wss://nos.lol"], ["r", "wss://relay.primal.net"] ], "sig": <signed with main identity key> } ``` #### Tags * The `mls_protocol_version` tag identifies the MLS protocol version being used. For now, this MUST be `1.0` * The `ciphersuite` tag identifies the ciphersuite supported. For now on Nostr, we're using a custom ciphersuite, `MLS_256_DHKEMK256_CHACHA20POLY1305_SHA256_K256`. [Read more about ciphersuites in MLS](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9420.html#name-mls-cipher-suites). * `pubkey` is the derived or ephemeral prekey pubkey. * The `prekey_sig` tag value is a Schnorr signature (over the secp256k1 curve) of the SHA-256 hashed value of the prekey's pubkey, signed with the prekey's private key. ```js const privKey = schnorr.utils.randomPrivateKey(); const pubKey = schnorr.getPublicKey(privKey); const prekeySig = bytesToHex( schnorr.sign(bytesToHex(sha256(pubKey)), privKey) ); const prekeyTag = ["prekey_sig", prekeySig]; ``` Finally, clients SHOULD include `r` tags to identify each of the relays that they will attempt to publish this prekey event to. This allows for more complete replacement of prekey events at a later date. ### Replacing Prekey Events Clients MUST replace the prekey event on all the listed relays any time they successfully process a group welcome event. If the prekey was a derived prekey, clients SHOULD increment the derivation path by 1 for the next key. ## Onward and Upward This next week I'll continue to work on getting the right curves and code added to the OpenMLS library and start work on a simple demo app. The focus is on better understanding what we need from the control and message events and how we can make those as simple as possible for Nostr clients and relays while also preserving as much privacy as possible.

The day before yesterday was a whirlwind of exploration in Moshi, Tanzania. My plan was to find the elusive Art Market, a haven for local artists nestled outside the town center. Google Maps wasn't much help, but armed with a vague memory and a thirst for artistic discovery, I set off on foot.  After a scenic walk, I stumbled upon the hidden gem. Unlike the tourist-oriented markets in town, this place brimmed with authenticity. Artists displayed their paintings, sculptures, and wood carvings, creating a vibrant atmosphere. While browsing, I encountered a sight that gave me pause: a man working on elephant tusks. Knowing the illegality of the ivory trade in many countries, I snapped a couple of photos and continued my exploration.  Deeper into the market, I came across two artists diligently creating new pieces. They even offered me a friendly lunch invitation, which I politely declined (unsure of the mysterious meat on the menu!).  Energized by the artistic encounters, I decided to venture further. I hopped on a tuk-tuk, aiming for the outskirts of Moshi, a place called Raul, the gateway to the Materuni Waterfall hike (which I'd already conquered in December). Unfortunately, my tuk-tuk driver wasn't feeling as honest. He tried to overcharge me, but luckily, I knew the fair price and negotiated a fair deal.  The adventure took a turn for the worse on the return trip. Due to poor lighting and a hidden curb, I had a nasty nighttime fall. My hands, knee, and foot took the brunt of the impact, leaving me with some nasty (and still painful!) wounds. Thankfully, a kind soul at the hostel provided disinfectant, and I followed up with medication from the pharmacy the next day.  While the mishaps put a damper on the evening, the day's earlier discoveries still hold a special place in my memory. The Art Market, with its raw talent and local charm, was a true gem. This experience serves as a reminder that sometimes the best adventures are the ones that stray from the beaten path, even if they come with a few bumps and bruises along the way.      After tending to my wounds, I decided to treat myself to some comfort food. Opting for something familiar, I ordered a dish called "Wali Maharagwe." This Tanzanian staple, consisting of rice and beans, was exactly what I needed to soothe my body and soul. The flavors were simple yet satisfying, a perfect end to an eventful day.  > Feel free to support me by sending some sats via the lightning network to rubenstorm@getalby.com

# Shop The Bitcoin Circular Economy In an effort to help build the circular economy, I want to increase awareness of businesses that accept bitcoin as payment. **These are not Paid Ads**. I list these companies because I use their services and find them valuable. I hope they find value in my word of mouth advertizing. Please spend some sats with them to support the circular economy The following is a list of business that I use: [Coinkite](https://coinkite.com/) You have heard of them for sure, the maker of the world famous Cold Card. If you don't have a cold card, you need to get your shit in order, but the company makes at least 50 products. I don't have a discount code for this company, but listen to a bitcoin podcast and I'm sure you will find one. Coin kite does a lot of other cool shit too, like the satschip, a product designed for artists. NFT's are a scam, but physical art is a real thing. Artists who add the satschip to their physical artworks can throw a photo of the artwork on the CoinKite website. These jpegs are not NFT's. They are not Ordinals. They are art with a chip that works similar to the Tap Signer, except the seed can never be revealed. It ties the physical paining, a , et al. to the bitcoin blockchain. It's neat way of tying art to digital scarcity without all the scammy bullshit associated with NFT's [Bitrefill](https://www.bitrefill.com/us/en/) let's Me buy gift cards with bitcoin. I used to use it to pay my bills, but they have since discontinued that service. I still think it's a great company and use it as a way to get discounts on certain stores like CryptoCloaks. [The Bitcoin Company](https://thebitcoincompany.com/) sells gift cards and Visa Cards online. I recently ordered a part for a composer and the customer service rep asked me to **send my credit card number** and secret code over email. I didn't feel comfortable sending that information, but I was able to buy a Visa Card with the exact amount to get my composter parts. They used the credit card and I got my parts, but there is no more money on the credit card. **Information longs to be free**, so guard your credit card numbers. [CryptoCloaks](https://www.cryptocloaks.com/) is a company that sells 3D printed items for sats. I hae bought quite a few things off them. Most recently, a case that my S9 which has been converted into a heater. He has a lot of other cool stuff too. Check him out. [BitcoinHatGuy](https://bitcoinhatguy.com/) has sold hats for bitcoin for decades and I have spent more sats on these hats than I feel comfortable admitting, but have never regretted my purchases. In real life, I'm one of those wierdos that wears the same thing everyday: Black T-Shirt and Gray pants, but I have an extensive hat collection. I buy most of my hats with bitcoin and most of those hats were bought from BTChatGuy. They're great, cheaper than MLB or even minor league baseball hats and I don't watch sports anyway. If you wear hats, buy a hat from this dude. [Robosats](https://learn.robosats.com/) Bitcoin exchanges are some of the biggest spenders in the bitcoin content creation market. They are the bread and butter for content creators. This makes sense, because they also get the most in fees. According to David Bennet from the Bitcoin and Podcast, The Cash App had over a billion bucks in revenue from bitcoin sales alone. Good. I'm happy for the Block, but smaller bitcoin only exchanges like RoboSats don't get the exposure they deserve because they don't have the marketing budget. RoboSats is a peer to peer exchange. It's only on TOR, but they also have an app on the Andoroid store for those too timid for TOR. Robosats is a bitcoin escrow service. They hold bitcoin in escrow and wait for conformation that payment has been recieved. Bitcoin sellers generally sell for about 5% above market value to provide KYC Free Sats to customers. Fiat settlements are made using the Cash App, Strike, or even Amazon gift cards. We should market the p2p exchanges like this more. Robosats incentives this by giving users or referal codes. Refer someone to RoboSats using your referral code and you will get 100 sats for each trade. I would like to see people shill RoboSats and pick up these sats on social media. So I am not only asking you to use RoboSats, but I am also asking you to shill it. I had nodeless.io on the list, but the tyrannical government of Canada shut it down. When I attempt to orange pill normies, the objection I most often need to overcome is "Bitcoin can never work because the government[state] will shut it down. The 100k bitcoiners in the world know it does not work that way, but most CPI believers think the government just needs to shut down the single bitcoin computer to take it all away. Perception is reality as they say. And yeah, we won't all turn off our bitcoin mining heaters or shut off our nodes, but I have seen online Poker get decimated by government policies. They did not succeed at ending online poker, but they essentially ended access to online poker for anyone with a sub 120 IQ. If we want bitcoin to be for everybody, we need to make it easy for people to buy non-KYC bitcoin. RoboSats is making that their mission. [Nostr.build](https://nostr.build) Nostr Native video and image storage. you can login with your npun instead of an email or using nip07. The premium membership also includes access to btcpayserver, but you'll need to set it up. The subscription lasts one year, but the developers told me they won't actually delete your photos for two years. I love nostr.build and think it is an underrated resource in the nostr community [BTCPins](https://btcpins.com/) BTCPins sells cool bitcoin collectible PINS. They're reasonably priced and look great. He only accepts bitcoin because he is a true ride or die freak. He is also one of the meetup organizers in Southern California and wears hats sold by Bitcoin author, Knut Svanholm. He's the real deal. [Strike](https://strike.me/) Strike would pay me like five or ten bucks if I had you sign up with them via my referral link, but I'm not recommending them for the referral money. This is about recommending services I use. Strike is the best way to send fiat around the world. I also know that many bitcoiners don't like the idea of spending their own bitcoin, Strike gives you the ability to instantaneously convert fiat to bitcoin and vice-versa. I would rather have the hodl never sodl people spend fiat in the circular economy this way. In a perfect world, Strike would not comply with KYC laws, but like I said, it's the best way to send fiat around the world.(or people on Robosats who could be anywhere in the world.) I also think if a KYC free exchange is to expensive, you're better off stacking a little on a KYC exchange than not stacking at all. Budgets are tight these days. If you can only stack a penny this paycheck, stack that penny with Strike. Need to send fiat to Mexico, use Strike instead of Western Union. [Seed Signer](https://seedsigner.com/) Seed Signer is a raspberry pi with no Wi-Fi. You can make your own or buy one from the store. The seed signer does not have a secure element, but it also does not store your seed on the device. Therefore, you must write down your seed and enter it into the device every time you plug it in. This sounds like a pain in the ass, and it is if you do it that way, but it comes with a camera and a unique neat feature. You can create a QR code using a pen and paper.(You'll need access to a printer too) Actually, I recommend using a pencil and paper. It's easy to make a mistake so you might want to erase it. You can always go over it with a felt tip pen later if you're worried about a man in the middle attack. You can also use it for nostr keys I think, but I have not tried this feature. I would not trust all my bitcoin with any wallet, but this is an excellent wallet to use as part of a multisig with Sparrow Wallet or Specter Desktop. [Get Alby](https://getalby.com) Get Alby is my favorite desktop wallet. I've made spme videos about them here and highly recomend it because you can use it as a custodial wallet or hook it up to your own node. I also respect this product a lot. Back in 2017 or 2018 we had the Joule browser extension, but you had basically had to be a lightning engineer to get it to work. I wasted many hours of my life away trying to get it to work on my browser with no dice. Alby is about 100X improvement over the old Joule days. They also have some cool nostr features and make it easy to login to websites. Full disclosure, I have no idea how they make money. [Plebai](https://home.plebai.com/https://home.plebai.com/) You put a dollar into a vending machine and it spits out bubbly sugar water. This data vending machine works like that. You put im 100 sats and it will genorate an AI image or create a summary for your blog. It's an awesome service and does not require a subscription like some of the fiat competition. LeatherMint I bought a belt from leathermint and it was one of the best purchases I ever made online. I highly recommend buying things from this site https://theleathermint.com/. I wrote about my experience [here](https://habla.news/u/bloggingbitcoin@nostrplebs.com/bad-ass-belts-from-leathermint). These are not all the products I use, and I will add more over time. **If you have a bitcoin side hustle or sell a bitcoin related product, let me know about it**. I'm always interested in learning about more bitcoin companies.
