So let me get this straight: @John Carvalho 's Pubky uses Pkarr which basically stores your home server in the BitTorrent DHT, keyed under your public key. Then, your home server can be whatever but John likes REST.
Nostr started out with pubkeys, then realized it would be good to have the pubkey distinguishable from the privkey and invented npub. Then "invented" storing that npub behind some DNS entry (nip5) and then figured out it would probably be a good idea to also store the ~homeserver~ list of relays there.
Pubky is better because ... we can't store our list of relays in BT DHT just in case? Or why is it better exactly? I don't get it.

I think, historians miss reading more "Memoirs of an unremarkable life". All the accounts are of great historians or emperors and of victors of course. Will all the shitposting survive a hundred years?

Hmmm, are there books that would have to be written by the kind of people that would never write a book?
It takes a certain kind of maybe healthy narcissism to publish a book to one's name. Maybe some write under pseudonym cause they "lack" that trait.
What other traits are needed to write a book? Are there interesting personality types under-represented among authors?
"Memoirs of an unremarkable life"
"The wisdom of a humble man"
"How to be too busy living"
"My life as a story teller - why our tribe never adopted writing."

So interesting! Only actually finished watching today and it's good for splitting into multiple very interesting videos or audios.
Nice video with a click-baity title. But the ending is special!
