GM NOSTR I've been quiet, but working hard. Big personal projects and work projects alike have me pretty jacked at the moment. Today we continue onward, zapping notes and other stuff as we please. Hope you have a great day. ⚔️

Nearly ready for some early testing. Goal is a simple system for nostr development on a dedicated machine. Connect from anywhere over nostr, sign and deploy securely, shoot for the stars. Coming soon nostr-station v0.0.3 - nostr-re-relay as local dev relay - nvpn as nostr mesh VPN - nak - ngit, nsite, github deployment - configurable AI tooling - optional Stacks install - Amber (NIP-46) signing bunkers - Watchdog automated DMs for relay status - and more

GM NOSTR! Today we continue working hard and zap notes and other stuff along the way. The week ends but our work does not. It's a beautiful morning. I've got a packed agenda at work with plans to cap it off by having a couple local pints with some good friends, one who is in from out of town. Stay humble. Remain grateful. PV friends and freaks ⚔️

GM Nostr Great day to go to Mass ✝️ I've spent a lot of free time this past week building about 1 app per day in shakespeare.diy. This has been incredibly fun and insightful. I think I've learned more about the nostr protocol in 5 days than I have in the past year being a user of multiple clients and tools. I'm super stoked as I've landed on a really solid concept for groundbreaking application. I stayed up late building out a lengthy spec for the idea so that I can start building it correctly. I think this idea is really unique and would actually benefit the nostr ecosystem. The spec is solid from what I can tell so later today I'll aim to break it out into phases before I begin building. ⚔️

Just shipped Nostrion. https://nostrion.shakespeare.wtf A private, encrypted productivity workspace on Nostr. Write notes, organize documents in folders, and manage tasks — all end-to-end encrypted with NIP-44 before leaving your browser. No central server. Your keys, your data, synced via your relays. Nostrion is interoperable with Onyx, a local-first note-taking app built on the same protocol. Where Onyx stores files on disk, Nostrion runs entirely in the browser and uses Nostr relays as the sync layer — making your documents accessible from any device without installing anything.

What are we/you working on today? I want to hear about it! #asknostr

Progress has been made. Ceilings and walls all painted, one final coat above the mold and some touch ups. Next weekend I'll be fighting through a serious session of sanding and aiming to finish these 130+ year old floors. Great day to work hard 🤙 bout to go find me a beer and pretend it's green.

I'll refrain from debating theology, as I don't see it helpful in this scenario, however I do have concern for truth. Perspectives and opinions are okay. But I value honesty and integrity. It's one thing to disagree with Catholic doctrine. It's another to misrepresent it. Especially when you have faithful Catholics and Orthodox pointing that out to you. Most biblical faiths will claim to know the secret sauce, but none that I'm aware claim that the individual must earn their own salvation. View quoted note → View quoted note →

"There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be." - Fulton J. Sheen

The Catholic Church claims something remarkable: apostolic succession, a living magisterium, and unbroken tradition stretching back to the apostles. The deeper down the rabbit hole I go, the more I fall in love with Christ and His Church. I'm not saying the Catholic Church is free of its own faults, there are plenty of those. But I've found a fullness of faith within it. Protestantism only trades the tradition and magisterium of the Church for their own. These reformed churches haven't eliminated the need for authority; they relocate it from the institutional Church to the individual conscience (or someone else's opinion) interpreting Scripture. That's why there are countless different flavors of them. Without a living teaching authority and apostolic tradition to anchor interpretation, each Protestant interpreter becomes, in effect, their own magisterium or follows a new one that fits. I like the hard fork analogy, even going so far as to tweak the canon of what they claim is scripture. The only early Christians who rejected Church authority for private Scripture interpretation were deemed heretics. 🗝️
