I can see naddr info for individual posts. Any idea how to find naddr info for a full feed. Want to use a plugin on WP to show a nostr feed, proof of how good the info is on Nostr! If only I can show it. #asknostr

If you ask ai for advice on a topic you know nothing about you are screwed. The advice Will be skewed towards complications. ( Knowledge is power) Ask It to to refine what you already have a good grasp of, and ai is sweating. We still hold the Keys to the vault - if we so choose.

Stay organised, minimalist and sovereign. Treat alternatives offering an easy life as traps. Spartans never succumbed and look how resilient they were under the most intense pressure.

It's Up to Nostr users to onboard new Nostr users in person. The chances of a refugee from Facebook landing in the global feed and thinking they found a new online home here is... remote. Sending out raw "Join me on Nostr" invites is like convincing someone who doesn't like to get all dressed Up - to dig out an obsolete party frock gathering dust, or get suited and booted in an outfit from a 1998 wedding do - before the onset of seed-oil spread or 4am workout routine scuppered the Kmart tailor's efforts. You tell them to arrive at the party at a time when you know nobody Will be there - except a buffed mad Uncle in a tinfoil hat, an obsessive nutty computer science professor and an introverted kid who hasn't seen daylight or eaten any vegetables in months. Of course, they are lovely folks with lots to say, and if they were the only other people left on the Planet after the bomb had dropped, you would instantly gravitate towards them, but... ... you were kind of expecting a room full of beautiful people buzzed on music and idle chit- chat - a warm and fuzzy vibe with a glass of something to ease you in to your new home. I think Nostr is the future, and it's already halfway here now, but come on, has anyone actually gone through some of the onboarding processes, and put themselves in the shoes of the unwashed masses who know more about quantum physics than they do about cryptographic key pairs and NIPs? Username, password, copy-paste into a a notepad - for now. Here's a wallet with 10 sats in it ready to use, and a person with an interest you share, to talk to... It's not that hard. Except welcoming new faces to Nostr is hard for the dedicated nutty professor, mad Uncle and prison pallour kid busily building out Nostr. So, on my Wordpress website, I'll be dumping the "Follow me on Nostr" widget - nsec.app 's technically brilliant but perfect techniphobe onboarding sabotaje effort - and sticking with a simple link to my profile page on Yakihonne. I'll Zap new followers a few sats and say Hi. Maybe they can't face deciphering the new vocab to sign Up, but as lurkers their first experience of Nostr community Spirit could be a free download of a pretty good book - which appropriately is not for the faint of heart. Come on Nostr, we can do it. #asknostr

One of the many joys of Spanish life is a carajillo - liqueur coffee. 2€ Max for a cortado with a shot. Classic cold-morning boost or a jump start with the afternoon “merienda”. Another perfect fit in a culture of bars and cafes where you don’t go for a drink with the express purpose of getting bladdered. I don’t have stats, but so much business is conducted over a drink. Notaries and architects loaded down with paperwork, sipping beers with clients. Anglo-Saxons will be tutting by now. Salud 🍻 I will be tackling the taboos around booze later in the #OlgaSejeHansen series. There’s quite the list of uncomfortable topics tucked away behind an innocent drink. But I started with one that ranks quite high in the world of taboos. Whatever the first impression, there is no gratuitous action. It’s all about shining lights on characters’ strengths and failings and finding the pros and cons and absurdities of their surroundings and situations. That’s #noir right?

There's a subtle difference between the geography of the Black County and Birmingham – but to the people who live there they are worlds apart. The narrator of Crimson Lining sets readers straight right from the start. I grew up a poor Brit in 1960's Wolverhampton, pride of the magnificent Black Country. That’s the Midlands, not Birmingham. Don’t lump us in with bloody Brummies. Anyway, despite little education, a face that looks like I got slapped with a kipper at birth, and dress sense that makes Colombo look like a boardwalk model, I made something of meself. Against all the odds, I worked me way up through the police, and struck it lucky over the Pond, a thousand miles from the other Birmingham – Alabama. I had me own desk at what the Yanks call a three-letter law enforcement agency – not the CIA, the other bloody one. Me first mission in yankee land: learn to speak proper. I'm a bit posh for a Yam Yam now – that's someone from the Black Country, in case you were scratching your bonce over that one. I think I've got the hang of me and my now – but initially, no bugger got a word I said. So, I speak different; who gives a toss, asks I? Surely you know what I mean? "Or roight, yow, Trisha? D'ya get tha’ report for me, bab?" I nearly got kicked out on my ear for asking FBI secretaries for reports in me – sorry, my – own lingo. Swallowing my pride, I tried to pull the Ozzy card. They were ’avin none of it. I said to the boss, "Me old paranoid mucker, Prince of Darkness, is a fucking legend in the States. How come nobody made him talk like he had a plum in his gob?" See my profile for first three chapters in free download. As Peter Malone would say, Fill your boots, fellow hypocrites and delusionals! #CrimsonLiningGems #OlgaSejeHansen #psychologicalthriller

I can remember we managed to get one of those to walk down the stairs. We were so lame back in those days. View quoted note →

I’m about to publish the first of a 4-book series on Nostr first. Because all apps share same core, I think it’s going to be quite simple. - Ebook for sale on Plebian Market. 20% below price for later Amazon release plus bonus content. - Teaser free chapter on Habla. - Community contacts on Nostr social media clients. - Announce and post links on legacy platforms, raising profile of Nostr in the process. We’ll see. Follow me for updates and links. And as a believer in Value-for-Value, I’ll obviously be using zaps to reward reader reviews and help with spreading the word. #ControlledChaos #EroticThriller #ScandiNoir #FemmeFatale #PsychoThriller

In my view Nostr is the future of publishing. Podcasting is open by nature, and Fountain is a perfect tie in to Nostr communication protocol and Bitcoin payments . @oscsarmerry Audio books and music can piggy back off of the podcasting 2.0 tech stack too. Time to find out if Book publishers can enjoy similar benefits. I’m about to publish the first of a 4-book series on Nostr first. Because all apps share same core, I think it’s going to be quite simple. Updates on using Nostr to publish and promo a book coming shortly. #OlgaSejeHansen #ControlledChaos #EroticThriller #ScandiNoir #FemmeFatale #PsychoThriller
