Lievik is now open source. It's a Nostr-first workspace for deciding what to tell whom. Pull in Nostr posts, RSS, and manually added material, then let AI relevance scoring rank it against each newsletter, group (like sauna) or channel's own criteria — while tracking what's already been sent where, so you don't repeat yourself. My previous blog about this project:

I think now it's obvious ai is dangerous and they should ban Chinese open weight models. Because Altman said he's sorry. But will the Chinese say it? In English? And it's obvious EU is safe because EU did not certify the model that was hacking, they forgot to fill form 51849 section C and forgot to sign one form.

Emanator is now open source. It's a Nostr publishing scheduler for running multiple identities: one calendar, one interaction inbox, media support, per-account style guides for AI-assisted writing. The part I like most is that it's built on NIP-46 remote signing with Amber, so scheduling posts never means handing a service your private keys. Staggered reposts also help new accounts build up an initial audience. My main use-case: Have projects with their own npubs (such as @Nostrautica - event app @Cashu Pay Server @AnyPay.today @Tamers of Entropy ). They are kept separate, but initially no one follows them, so I auto repost them. Saves a lot of finger movements and account switching. It's also free to use online (at least for now), you don't need to deploy it yourself. Enjoy! P.S.: Yes, this post was published by Emanator itself. What a fractal :)

Noticed something... Six people spoke for forty minutes about values. The actual decision, how to handle water for the new greenhouse, took five minutes and two sentences once someone said "let's just talk about the water." Utopian groups talk values best. Functional groups talk logistics best. Functional groups that keep values quietly visible in their process talk best of all. Say what you're choosing. Label the costs. Move.

Nostrautica is now open source. It's Nostr-native networking for events. Attendees record a short video, audio, or text intro; AI matchmaking reads that alongside their public Nostr activity and returns a ranked list of people worth meeting, with a plain-language reason for each match. Encrypted DMs let you start talking before the event even starts. Organizers run it with no servers or databases of their own — approval-based access, invite codes, or open registration, their choice. Follow at @Nostrautica - event app

You can try Kimi K3 that broke the internetz right now. It's Moonshot's new 1M-context flagship that is good and does not chicken out on security audits and other banal things like the western competitors. You can try it even without a subscription, and without KYC. Fire up Routstr, pick my node (routstr.cypherpunk.today), pay per request in Bitcoin ecash (Cashu) - you can also use lightning to top up easily, and you're in. $2.079 per million input tokens, $10.395 per million output - cheaper than Moonshot's own official API ($3/$15), and the cheapest Kimi K3 on the whole Routstr network right now. The node also offers other flagships (GPT5.6 including Sol, Claude including Fable, Grok 4.5) - cheaper than upstream list price and cheaper than any other node on the network.

I used to put "ethical hacker" in my bio. Not anymore. In my new blog post, I trace the full arc — from tinkering with an 8-bit computer as a kid, through the wild open-house era of the early internet, to today's world of compliance theater: risk assessments that make no sense, cookie banners that broke the web, and clients who want "twenty sheets of security" to keep the regulator quiet — not actual security. Where the state bans cookies with one hand and forces businesses to log sensitive personal data they never needed with the other. Where friends who found bugs in government systems were punished instead of thanked. And where bureaucratic methodology slowly squeezed out everything that made hacking creative in the first place. The post also includes a scene from my novel Tamers of Entropy — Lisa, sitting under a starlit sky at a hacker camp, saying out loud what I'd been feeling for years: "You find a bug, it gets fixed. What's new in the world is an absence — a vulnerability that no longer exists." It is not very creative. If you've ever felt the same, this one's for you. 👇

I want to make remote signer work well in my app. Any best practices document for the agent to use? Or JavaScript/typescript libraries? What's the best value (foss, easy to admin) nostr relay (also for auth) and blossom server package?

Keď nám AI vezme prácu, vyrieši to bezpodmienečný základný príjem (UBI), či dokonca bezpodmienečný vysoký príjem (UHI)? Znie to intuitívne — automatizácia vytvorí obrovský prebytok, tak ho prerozdelíme a všetci sa máme dobre. Lenže stačí položiť jedinú otázku: "kto to vlastne zaplatí?" — a celá tá samozrejmosť sa začne rúcať. Pretože produktívne AI firmy sedia v San Franciscu a Seattli, kým sociálne náklady disrupcie nesie Slovensko, východná Európa a väčšina sveta mimo anglo-amerického jadra. Daňový základ je v zlej jurisdikcii. A to je len jeden z problémov. V článku rozoberám štyri navrhované spôsoby financovania UBI cez optiku rakúskej ekonómie a ukazujem, prečo každý z nich buď nefunguje, alebo deformuje — najmä pre malé otvorené ekonomiky ako tá naša.

Two fully local TTS options for Hermes agents:KittenTTS is ultra-tiny (15-80M params, as small as 25MB), ONNX-powered, runs fast on any CPU with no GPU needed. Pocket-TTS is a 100M param model with built-in voice cloning, excellent low-latency streaming (~200ms first chunk), and strong multi-language support. All on regular CPU.Both install via pip, run 100% offline with no APIs or internet required. Great for private, reliable, always-available voice agents. I use kitten-tts with Hermes agent over SimpleX voice messages.

Some music to go with @Tamers of Entropy ! Not many people know that I have aphantasia — I cannot visualize images in my mind. When I close my eyes and try to picture something, there is simply nothing there. No mental imagery at all. I always thought that the "imagine..." was metaphorical. Yes, I don't even have visual dreams. But sound works. If you have been reading Tamers of Entropy, you may have noticed that the book is full of detailed sound descriptions — specific tracks the characters listen to, ambient soundscapes, music woven into the atmosphere. For me, that is not decoration. Sound is actually more vivid and essential than any image, precisely because images are the one thing my mind cannot produce on its own. Together with @neuralisa we built playlists for each part of the book — music that appears in the story, music that fits thematically, and music that sounds like what is described. (We did leave out Merzbow's Dolphin Sonar from @Ember 's entropy in reverse sequence — we did not want to send anyone to the hospital. The adventurous among you can find it yourselves.) Book One (Horizontal) Spotify: YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWllmrCLcgvU Book Two (Diagonal) Spotify: YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD9rFtIl-47M Book Three (Vertical) Spotify: YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJF-2RAoSHh0 Put on headphones, open a chapter, and let it sound the way it was meant to. Also, don't forget there's a soundtrack to the book with original tracks by @The Ohm :

I've been using @GrapheneOS in desktop mode yesterday for all my work. You can plug in a display, keyboard and mouse, and you have a full desktop environment with all your apps, windows, etc. And it's pretty good. The only problem is the device gets pretty hot doing all that work. I can work without a laptop now. External foldable keyboard, any monitor (hotel TV with HDMI input is enough). The last thing that enabled that (besides Android 17 GrapheneOS update, that made the desktop usable for me) is of course Trezor Safe 7, which connects over Bluetooth and has a first-class Android support: (Use code TAKECONTROL to celebrate Binance recommending EU customers to move to self-custody after they failed to get MiCA license). My friend @Wilder made a full guide:

I write a lot — Nostr posts, articles, course updates — and I could never remember what I'd already said or who it was for. My content was organized by when I posted it, not by who needs it. That's backwards. So I built Lievik. You define your audiences as plain-language channels ("privacy course students," "local Bitcoin meetup"), and it ranks every post by how relevant it is to each one. The same post might score 94% for one channel and 23% for another. Then it drafts the actual update for you, adapted to that channel's form: a short blurb + link for a Signal group, a narrative post for a newsletter, or a quick bullet brief for when you meet people in person. Real example: I'm heading to the sauna and want to tell the people there about the cool stuff I've been posting. Lievik surfaces what's relevant for that group (I define who i go to sauna with and what they are interested in) and hands me a brief — better than political debates. 😄 Nostr-first, no passwords, your content stays on your relays. It's in early access and free to try.
