Perplexity has turned adding push notifications to flotilla from a multi-week ordeal of navigating labyrinthine documentation to a two-hour thing (apart from the problem of how to actually implement the push notification server). Google/Amazon/Apple docs are full of conditionals: "For a local development environment, you can set up ADC with your user credentials or with service account impersonation by using the gcloud CLI. For production environments, you set up ADC by attaching a service account." Perplexity: "Go to the Firebase Console and select your project. Navigate to Project Settings > Service Accounts. Click "Generate New Private Key" to download a JSON file containing your credentials3." Understanding the system architecture of Google's entire authentication system is not important for my job as a developer. I just want the thing to work, just give me a key. If I ever need to "attach a service account" I will figure it out at that point, probably using AI. I'm so glad I can spend more time coding and less time reading awful documentation.

RFC: should clients send users' kind 10002 to every relay that they publish to so that other people can find their profile information (etc)?

@water783 I've been unable to successfully authenticate to groups.0xchat.com for a few days now: ```nak req -k 1 groups.0xchat.com --fpa -v connecting to groups.0xchat.com... waiting for auth challenge... performing auth as 79be667ef9dcbbac55a06295ce870b07029bfcdb2dce28d959f2815b16f81798... msg: error: failed to authenticate failed to connect to any of the given relays.```

@franzap got this error bumping flotilla past 0.2.9 - could it be you're not parsing version numbers correctly?

It's actually quite peaceful to go through @daniele's onboarding process and immediately delete the account afterwards in flotilla while listening to Dust and Disquiet by Caspian. The new delete feature in flotilla uses the new Right to Vanish spec:

Now, I'm generally a "delete realist", but there's nothing wrong with letting people ask. Plus, Apple is making me do it 😈
