Been a while...checking in.

Please tell me this is wrong and that I'm not connected to 150 relays on Amethyst. I sure didn't sign up for 150. Also, how can I check or alter my zap settings? Not working and can't find it. #asknostr

Having a local auto mechanic that you truly trust is such a blessing. Or, not having that mechanic reveals what a blessing that would be.

Nostr is great, short form and long. However, it can at times be difficult finding things you wrote after a while. For immutability, like for a true blog, I like to use the Hive blockchain. Once it's there, it's there, chronologically. I have two "VIP" tickets here if anyone cares to try it:

Of late, when I try to zap with amethyst, it opens fountain.fm and zap fails. Hmm.

Are we getting smoke and mirrors on inflation? Admittedly, HF28 snuck up on me somehow. For me, it was just...here. At face value, I like the changes: non-decaying vote value, splitting posting and active key roles (safety), and decreased inflation. Yesterday, I
