Any opinions on lnvps.net or equivalent? I am in the process of switching my infrastructure over to an no-kyc bitcoin-only infrastructure for #nostr #safebox. I have run into some gotchas such as latency from IRE (CAN is ok). Also running into some weird issues with nginx. Any opinions or advice would be appreciated! #asknostr

Ontario is freaking huge! Spouse and Son 3 are driving to Alberta and I gave them the AirTag from my bike so I could track them in real time. Day 3 of driving - still not out of Ontario. Getting out of Ontario, it’s the same distance to drive to Florida. If you think Ontario is huge, wait until you see Quebec!

Honest question - what do we think that #nostr is winning at? I’ll start - I believe the #nostr is the first ‘intentional protocol’ that enable me to convey my intentions publicly and privately to the individuals and communities I wish without intervention from so-called gatekeepers. #nostr as social media is a start, but it’s only the beginning. Curious to hear what others have to say.

A strategic asset that became a joke. https://grantpiperwriting.medium.com/the-surprising-reason-why-the-maginot-line-ultimately-failed-e8a56809eb68
