I think the #indieweb concept of POSSE (Post to Own Site and Sync Elsewhere) should become PORSE. Doesn't sound as cool, but since your own site is also dependent on DNS, it's the ultimate post-to-own-anything. It wouldn't even have to be a relay, we could also call it PODSE, i.e. post to own drive/disk/device, then sync elsewhere.

There's clearly a Strudel in the logo of noStrudel. This is lies!

Set up strfry on my laptop, with a systemd timer to regularly sync notes from my home relay via negentropy. So smooth.

It's beyond me why Zcash is not regarded as a complete shitcoin. Here's the first reason Zooko states for why Zcash will switch to Hybrid Proof-of-Stake: "It reduces supply of ZEC by locking up staked ZEC and increases demand for ZEC by giving people something else to do with it." Not enough demand for "money"? People have no idea what to do with their "money"? Let's lock it up and reward investors with dividends! Now imagine someone looking at this chart, even adding it to their own blog post, and then linking said post with the comment "Zcash is winning": image Am I thinking about this the wrong way perhaps? What am I missing about this amazing currency?

I can't help but think that the Satoshi press conference is some kind of Banksy prank. Either way, it's certainly a good method for guaranteeing a full house.

What's up with all the seemingly generated comments and profiles that are faking engagement at YakiHonne? Not a good look.

I don't understand why you would announce the end-all-be-all solution of a decentralized, user-controlled Internet on a centralized, corporate-owned blog platform. How can I trust you to bring about this amazing new Internet technology when you're unable to publish a simple Web page under your own control? 🤔

"We may not be the best in presenting ourselves, but what matters is that we onboarded the FBI" to Tether's compliance systems, he added. "We onboarded the U.S. Secret Service. We have thank-you letters from the DOJ … We think we are doing, you know, the best we can." — Paolo Ardoino Tether already looks a lot like a semi-private U.S. CBDC. And it makes sense, since the Federal Reserve banks are privately owned, too. May as well extend the current collaborations with some kind of permanent oversight board, stacked with more government bureaucrats.

Pubky looks promising. I already believed that the Mainline DHT could be the best way of resolving DIDs in a truly decentralized fashion, when I saw this idea a while ago: https://did-dht.com

You can configure Substr for multiple relays and arbitrary username/pubkey pairs, so this is how I'm reading @fiatjaf's articles now (and finally not missing any, because new ones will pop up in my feed reader): (Also, that content was great for fixing a bunch of content styles, URI parsing/linking, and more.)

Hey Brits, what's a good link I could give to a future-coiner living in the UK, who was just asked by a freelancer in Ghana to pay invoices in BTC, but who has no idea how bitcoin works at all? No knowledge, no wallet, no coins. Where do I send them?

Initially, I didn't want to spend the whole Sunday on this, but it's basically almost done now. I started building a nice server-side renderer for long-form content on our Nostr relay: image The next step is to create human-readable URLs, i.e. `/@username/article-id`. But my favorite feature will be `/@username/articles.rss`, because if it doesn't have an RSS feed, it's not a blog.
