A few weeks ago, my precious bespoke designed and hand-built keyboard which my friend made for me around 10 years ago broke. 😿⌨ I'm now stuck on a conventional chiclet keyboard, I keep fucking making typos and spacebar doesn't work cause I don't slam it hard enough. Fucking disgusting. I went a bit mental, because it literally cured many years of RPI/carpal tunnel syndrome. It sounds a bit stupid, but I cannot imagine my life without that keyboard. :meow_bongo_keyboard: Doctors and specialists couldn't cure my RSI for years: they told me to stop using computers and keyboards: absolutely retarded comment to make to someone who's entire life was spent working on a computer. A quality ergonomic keyboard and mouse cured what doctors said could not be fixed... lesson in there. I designed this keyboard and selected every single component with the minimal force needed to reduce friction/wrist pressure/finger travel: from springs, to caps, to size, to physical form factor and split... including custom firmware based on open source... it is very much a reflection of myself and my friend who helped design and build it. Thankfully I got in touch with my pal, and he was more than happy for me to ship it back to him for a full repair and we've designed some upgrades to retrofit it! In a few weeks I will get it back, as a completely wireless device! I am beyond hyped. I will post an update with pics when it's back in its new wireless form! (and yes--an 🦉 is my backspace key--dwi) #keyboards

This is the low-level scumming that clowns like Craig Faketoshi Wright would do... :clown: View quoted note →

All of these botted accounts spamming podcast episodes over and over is getting truly tiresome. Anything like that hitting the superfriends public relay, I report the account. faps (my custom coded strfry plugin) instantly processes my report and blacklists them. Yeah I work in AI and I use AI tools. But I come here for the humanity. Not really a fan of all this botted behaviour on the #nostr feed.

Not even 24h after my note here... moltbook databases completely open for the world to read your secret API keys. I really don't understand why you'd connect your openclaw agents to this type of shit. Vibe coding + vibe agentic deployments, what could go wrong? :TheVoices: View quoted note →

Welp, taught my agent to use `nak` to fetch nostr notes, and do it. 😹😬 View quoted note →

It's kind of hilarious seeing content like this make the rounds. I am sure that this will be a hot topic this month. I personally don't think a technically-minded person should have any difficulty setting up a secure openclaw/moltbot/clawdbot instance. If you aren't savvy with operational security concepts, you definitely should not be trying to host your own openclaw and connecting it to the wild. A few tips from me: - Set it up on an isolated server on a separate user account. There is no risk there of it running wild on personal files or data. All of this talk about running it on your home machine & account makes me throw up a little bile every time I read it. Absolutely imbecilic idea. - Do not run it under your own user instance (which typically tends to be in the sudoers list)--please don't be fucking stupid folks. Use a dedicated account without access to your personal user account's data. - There is no real need for you to expose any kind of access to it externally via your firewall. Use tailscale if needed and lock down your tailnet and the openclaw service (use serve, not funnel). - Do you *really* need to give it full access to all these skills? For example, giving it write access to your Google Workspaces? Use your brain and don't blindly follow these half-baked "tutorials" you see permeating the internet right now--most of these are written by absolute morons who have no fucking clue what they're doing or the implications of it. TL;DR: just use common sense. It can be a neat tool but there is no need to expose yourself View quoted note →

Confirming what I have always said: you still need to understand programming languages, syntax, software architecture and engineering. IMHO pure vibe-coding is of limited value; leveraging AI when you understand coding is invaluable. A paintbrush is a tool, not a replacement for an artist. AI is a tool, not a replacement for a developer. View quoted note →

An eerie and honest opinion about long-term AGI reliance. I work in this sector and I agree with a lot of this: use it or lose it. Outsource your decision-making to an AI and your brain will lose the function over time. Same with memory: if you rely on AI to remember things, you brain will stop remembering, as it doesn't need to. View quoted note →

It's funny how we're talking about tagging 100k accounts when there's only 21 users on #nostr amirite :catHuh: View quoted note →

faps is getting more badass every day: I just coded support into #strfry for management features from trusted accounts with varying security levels, and the first feature to use this is to auto-blacklist reported accounts from trusted plebs with enough access. And for once I am scrolling the superfriends relay replies, just *DYING* to find some spam to report :roflol: Strangely clean feed... not sure if I should be glad it's clean, or angry I can't test auto-blacklists further... :LUL: View quoted note →

How long is NostrMagazine going to continue this charade of pretending to be an organization, having multiple people on their "marketing team", pretending to have multiple authors, and scamming the good #plebs on #nostr via "subscription" fees? You know all their articles are AI slop, right? Please do your due diligence before parting with your hard-earned sats. I am all for supporting the nostr ecosystem, but I see so many red flags that I can't let it go. If you see anyone falling for their tricks please direct them to this note with evidence I have gathered. :MEOWDY: #plebchain #grownostr View quoted note →

It's like day 4 or 5 of this so-called "DDoS" attack, and it's pretty fucking pitiful. It's literally doing nothing, not slowing down the superfriends relay, not denying any services whatsoever... :clown: If you have a bone to pick with me, you should do it openly here on #nostr. Might yield more results using your words, since using your technical abilities is clearly lacking. :trollface: View quoted note →

Lately I have been coding and adding features over time to a comprehensive #strfry relay plugin. I've coined my system FAPS: the Friendly Anti-Prick System. :MEOWDY: The beauty of the strfry plugin architecture is live updates: no need to restart strfry on any changes. It's allowed me to handle things like: illegal content, spam, abuse, DDoS attacks, and more. :YesYes: ... all within a single plugin. So far, it can: - Blacklist accounts. - Blacklist phrases: strings and regexes supported. - Blacklist kinds: reject any kinds you want, useful during DDoS attacks. - Supports minimum POW difficulty enforcement for all users. - Supports unique POW difficulty for individual accounts. You can add individual accounts with their own POW difficulty threshold. It continues to be put through the paces--it's currently day 3 of being DDoS'd and the superfriends relay continues to serve the public unabated, zero downtime, no latency. :meow_heart_bongo: And no, it wasn't vibe-coded. I prefer to hand-code where high throughput and extreme optimization are required! One day I'll open source and release it, when the feature creep settles and I'm happy that the code is optimized enough. It already filters thousands of events a minute without really stressing the server, but I'm a stickler for performance and improvement. #relays #nostrdev #dev

Awesome! Giving feedback never hurts, it results in a better product and helps you get things done. Thank you @verbiricha! :love: View quoted note →
