Browsing a video, seeing an introduction to a new social media platform that is built on old standards, and people trying to leverage it, makes me sad. At best, a web 2.0 standard and a fuck ton of effort. With its newness, it's already deprecated. We have things like Blockchain and NOSTR that give what people want. Including privacy, decentralization, and freedom including NIP protocols at its core built infrastructure as standardization. NIPs break it down into key elements which makes it easier to manage in such an evolving world and makes me think that it's going to be here for a really long time. Joining here, the continuous learning, seeing it expand into even more of a plethora of services -- it rocks! I still have so much to learn. Probably one of the best things I've joined in the last 10 years. As a user, I just want to say thanks! #Nostr #Social #Nostria

Amy King - Heart Is An Aeroplane Amy King is an amazing artist, and producer. She worked at Grant Avenue Studio for years. Which is a few blocks away from me. It's amazing to realize that so many musicians have been around these parts right in my backyard. Grant Avenue was Daniel and Bob Lanois' studio back in the day. Managed by Bob Doidge for years. U2, Lanois Brothers, Brian Eno, John Paul Jones, Talking Heads, Tom Cochrane come to mind. There are many more. #Music #MusicHistory #Recording https://www.grantavenuestudio.com/
Good morning. Listening to Mark Lanegan while going to work. Planning another trip of a lifetime soon. I'm not sure if that's two lifetimes lived but the first trip was successful. I didn't die. One of those things where you shouldn't have really lived but you did and now you have stories that will be remembered forever. Which you are reminded everyday. From giving up sovergnity in Canada to traveling to California. Buying a house with someone who ultimately fucks you over in Hawaii. Buying into someone's past, which ultimately gave you no choice to be homeless in another country living in the streets of Hawaii to meeting a Buddhist monk and a hippie for a plan out of desperation in Ka'u. To new beginnings, right? #stories #life #survival
Some songs I recorded and produced. These were done with VCV Rack and Harrison Mixbus. Every sound was curated by in VCV Rack. The drums were very adventurous to record because I had to look up various tunings for each head, especially the snare. And tune frequencies to match the sound that was needed. To get the snare sound, I used a noise variant(red, white, black) which all have different frequencies and sounds. The Jazz tune, I really concentrated on the bass or lower end spectrum of sound. At that time, I was really into listening to the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex - Life Begins Again album. A couple of the tunes, Billy Mohler's bass sound was the inspiration. Dirty, open, overdriven that almost sounds like it's being thrown out of a Fender Bassman. Everything took hours to think up, process, and post process. Even if some of it is quite a mess, I love it. It's dark, sometimes congested, but I'm happy with the results. #newmusic #recording #music #soundproduction #love #electronic #electro #rock #jazz
Made a bunch of electronic tunes within the last 7 years or so. I'll add some here I guess. I just have to figure out some cover art. Probably something generated. I mainly used VCV Rack dumped into Harrison Mixbus. You're able to record each channel to a track which keeps everything really pro sounding. A lot to learn if you're going to that level, of course. I remember using #JACK as the backend between both. Used Windows, only because I wasn't really creating when I had a similar setup in Linux. I was always trying to optimize my system for audio. Windows just allowed me to get VST3 support, and it worke well. Conditionally, I'd suggest Linux-only. But whatever works well for you. They both did. But I'm more of a Linux fan. Especially in #audio, and #community, #FOSS. I was very far away from the FOSS initiative dabbling with audio during that time.
Added a bunch of GIFs. I used a lot over the years, but forget half of them now. Here's trying to remember more of them. #nostria image
Am I in the right mindset to be thinking of purchasing a Linux phone now? Isn't the enemy enshittifying Android? Or will be? Removing the ability to add other stores? I should have started thinking about that a long time ago, but options are still pretty expensive. I'm not really into the $1k phone thing. I think my favourite phone was my OnePlus 6T before the WebOS update or whatever. Everything was so good on it. Especially the camera. I had zero issues. Bought it renewed, and had no complaints at all. It would be nice if Graphene could go on OnePlus phones. Midrange especially. OnePlus + Graphene sounds like a dream with similar or better spec than the 6T. #tech #enshittification
Just realized that CoinOS has fixed their wallet. Now I am able to add a #NWC URL for #zaps. I always seen that part of the website in pictures, but it wouldn't appear on the interface. I wonder if it was due to my Canadian currency or location. Maybe it was overlooked, but I don't think so. ๐Ÿ˜›
Forgot I bought Rye Bread a couple weeks ago. #Baking some Rye Bread before sleeping for the night. A couple days ago I found out that you can use fruit water for making sourdough starters. The yeast from the fruit #fermentation makes it the easiest to prepare a fermented fruit water. I'm not sure if frozen fruit would allow fruit water an energy exchange into yeast/fermentation. I don't really know too much about fermentation, but I **do** know it's good for you. And Sourdough Rye sounds amazing right now. Hopefully that will be the option soon.
Nice! #Nostria has gifs now! This is amazing. Hopefully I don't shitpost too much. ๐Ÿค™

Seen The Boys tonight! Anniversary tour over the pond in Canada. All the local punk celebrities were there. What a good night. Gene Champagne of Teenage Head and The Killjoys played as the opener. Worth checking out. #Punk #PunkRock #70sPunk #Protopunk #Music
Will there be any availability to ship a client with markdown? It would be great if Notes could be formatted a little bit. From lists and sub points, to font formatting(Bold, Italics). Minimal table usage. Headings wouldn't be good. #Nostr #AskNostr
In my opinion, intelligent relay routing should be present in every application. It's the infrastructure that gets #Nostr communications out there. The backbone for communication. How would I infer, "Intelligent #relay routing"? - Fastest Ping in Return - Uptime of Host Server - Available Bandwidth > Network > Hardware > RAM - Types of NIPs available as Factor for Service - User Prosperity and Non-Soveignity When I suggest *non-soveignity*, I make an example as we're really trying to get that soverign out of that era. But a definition of a soverign era is also a marketed one. How do you draw that line? And do marketers on the #Nostr network implement to contingency? I'm just a sleepless wanderer, who wants to bigbrain once in a while when he does get the right amount of sleep. And feel like I locked onto something here for the moment. Now that my moment has passed, please let me know what you think. Not a programmer, or stack #developer. Just a user without conformity. I like #tech, and touching grass. #Blog
First time seeing my Trust Rank in #Nostria. Now my mind can ease a little about that. ๐Ÿ˜ I think that's the first time I've seen my own on the platform throughout various services. Is it given after so much time spent on the platform? #Nostr #TrustRank #WoT
