I think maybe the world will never be fully utopian or dystopian. There will always be pockets of utopia and dystopia and it's just a matter of where you are.

At the age of 30 I still wake up from nightmares that ​I'm still imprisoned by the public school system... only to realize that I am free.

There is a common misconception that Nginx has any control over WebSocket messages at all. So I just want to say this to the world: Nginx CAN NOT rate limit WebSocket messages. Nginx CAN NOT see WebSocket connections. WebSockets are treated like normal HTTP requests, and once a connection is opened Nginx cannot save you. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Black pepper, a cheap, abundant, highly available commodity found in every diner and gas station in the United States, is almost impossible to obtain fresh in its natural form. Most people will never experience eating a raw peppercorn fruit. It's mind blowing. image

To make Ditto work correctly I feel I am having to push the entire TypeScript ecosystem forward. Not just for Nostr. For Postgres, Hono, WebSockets. It's crazy.

@hodlbod re: labels vs event sets, I want to mark a user as a moderator of my server. This gives them special powers to delete posts from my relay. If this moderator turns bad, I want the ability to revoke them unequivocally. Labels don't guarantee that, event sets do. Also, it only matters within my own relay.

Feels like we're going against the grain. But eventually you realize all of technology up to this point has been going against the grain. So it's actually okay and even expected to go against the grain. Eventually the grain changes after enough forcing. View quoted note →

I buy homophobic french fries from Chick-Fil-A and transgender vegan cheese from some vegan cheese company, so I feel these things cancel out.
