The orchestrator is the new webmaster

What do Nostr people think of Mastodon?

@Jurjen de Vries you all good? We haven’t heard from you in a while. Hope you are well!

macOS is the best OS for humans. Linux is the best OS for agents. Instead of an easy to use but limiting GUI, text files everywhere to configure everything. A nightmare for humans, heaven for LLMs. I've been using Claude to configure my machine and it's been (mostly) great. Not perfect, but very promising. I wish someone would train a small open source model dedicated to help you configure your Linux environment. This would be perfect.

Anthropic is the Apple of LLMs. They want to have a tight control on their ecosystem to ensure prime user experience for normies. The “it just works” experience. Claude Cowork is a great example of that. Claude is the M5 in an iPad.

The deno node runtime is actually a very good solution for the supply chain attacks we've seen recently in the npm world as it allows you to define a whitelist of domains that your code is allowed to call. But somehow it doesn't seem to be getting much traction. Looks like bun is the new node runtime that people use. Why?

It's annoying that Apple Hardware is so much better than anything else. It's not even close. I don't want it. I want a proper Linux machine. This would be a good EU regulation: force all manufacturers to play friendly with the open source communiy.

Since I moved to Linux I was missing a proper nostr cli. So I made one:

nostr cli

A human and bot-friendly command-line interface for the Nostr protocol.

My favorite features: $> nostr dm <nip05domain> List all users on that domain, start typing the username you want, enter, and start chatting. Back space, back in the list, type another user (bot) name, enter, resume that other conversation. With support for typing indicator to make sure your bot is doing something. 🤖 Also: $> cat ~/.ssh/*.pub | nostr dm xbot Give it a try and tell me what you think.

After 20 years, I'm back on Linux. Here is why. TLDR: macOS is the best user interface for humans, but for agents, Linux is the one you need. View article →

package main

Great feature. We need this too in nostr clients (and relays).
