I’ve been testing @primal 2.0 with my test npub. It looks great and is very smooth when scrolling the feeds. The read feeds is great for finding long form content. The search also seems to work really well, much better than other Nostr search options I’ve tried. I’ve personally never been a fan of the integrated wallet but I understand why that was done and I’m sure it works well for a lot of users. I’m still using Damus on this npub but I think Primal seems like one of the best options for onboarding new users right now. View quoted note →

I like this idea much better than the 100 pushups to 100K 😂 View quoted note →

First attempt at making my own beef bone broth. I had been wanting to try this for a while but wasn’t keen on leaving a pot on the gas stove for 24-48 hours. I started looking into the option of using a slow cooker but then discovered that it was also possible to make a successful broth in a pressure cooker. There seems to be some debate around whether some nutrients are lost using this method due to the higher temperatures or if it actually preserves nutrients due to the shorter cooking time, but either way it is probably better than a lot of store bought options. This was the result of 4 hours cooking a mix of grass fed beef bones in the pressure cooker. It tastes pretty good and after refrigeration it came out very thick and gelatinous. Overall I’m happy with this for a first attempt.

Updated version of Olas now seems to be available on TestFlight! Looks nice from a quick test with my test account. View quoted note →

This gives an idea of the spike in Netflix traffic that was being seen on peering exchanges yesterday. I’m not sure if Megaport host Netflix caches or if this is from peering with Netflix but it was a big spike! View quoted note →

I could not care less about a fight but as a network engineer the Netflix issues do interest me. Netflix runs distributed edge servers within many ISPs and peering exchange so content is served fairly locally. ISPs will be seeing a huge spike in traffic from these edge servers so some of the issues people are experiencing are likely congestion at the ISP level rather than Netflix.

There is now an app for #AUStriches to log their farts 🤣
