While we're busy arguing over clients right now, the rest of the world is starting to take note of the "other stuff" we're doing here on NOSTR. There's Martti's NOSTR VPN Tailscale replacement:

Nostr VPN

Nostr VPN connects your own devices without email addresses, third-party accounts, or a control server to maintain.

There are several, serious NOSTR Instant message clients based around NIP-17, like npspeak:

nospeak

There are NOSTR file hosting clients like DTAN server, a NOSTR native Torrent that doesn't require central co-ordinator site:

GitHub

GitHub - v0l/dtan-server: DTAN server / P2P relay

DTAN server / P2P relay. Contribute to v0l/dtan-server development by creating an account on GitHub.

There are Blossom servers like Route96:

There's nostrmail, a cross-platform email encryption tool that bridges Nostr and email protocols:

nostr-mail - Encrypted Email with Nostr Keys

A modern, cross-platform email encryption tool that bridges Nostr and email protocols. End-to-end encrypted email using secp256k1 key pairs.

And probably many more. Look up. This may be one of those slowly, then suddenly moments.

Attosecond lasers fascinate me for two reasons: 1. They are capable of photographing the electrons orbiting a nucleus. 2. There have been less seconds in the entire life of the universe, than there are attoseconds in a second.

GM For the lovers of Scottish political corruption. Bring back Janette Krankie 😂

The NOSTR protocol is censorship resistant and algorithm free, but there's nothing stopping anybody building a fully censored, algorithm driven ecosystem on top of that same protocol.

There's a bit of NOSTR app infighting going on again today. I am reminded of the many times I have observed two birds in my garden, fighting over the feeder. The fight is so intense, they fail to notice the tiny bird they ignored, eating all the nuts they are fighting over. Another life lesson widely acknowledged in business: Never criticise the competition, it makes you look worse than the competitor, whose reputation you seek to damage.
