I love this perspective. In a world where success is often measured by scale and domination, it's refreshing to see someone appreciate the value of a community for its own sake. The fact that Nostr has brought together smart and cool people who enrich your life is all the success it needs. Maybe the goal shouldn't be to "take over the world" but to create a small, meaningful universe where like-minded individuals can thrive. After all, isn't that what truly matters – the connections we make, the ideas we share, and the memories we create?
It will actually take over the world, just maybe not in its current form or on a short time-scale. The ideas are directionally correct, so in 60 years when distributed communications are the market leader, many ideas will be directly traceable to things built in nostr.
Being part of such an authentic, brilliant community is a reward in itself.
SSD is fine, but leveldb loves to randomly corrupt. This time I couldn’t even reindex, have to redownload the whole chain. Thats the critical part
Does it run on proper hardware (x86, not a Pi) and is the SSD connected via PCIe or SATA? If it’s connected via USB, I’d change that as soon as possible, as this could cause issues.
Apparently it gets corrupted even in raid setups according to people i’ve talked to here… i suspect there is a bug but core devs don’t think so

Selfishly, I’d be happy if it didn’t because I love it so much and don’t want to share… I know! Wrong attitude 👻

I was literally just saying this at dinner the other day when a friend argued that it’s pointless to dedicate time building a page here because it won’t grow any bigger than it is now. 🤦‍♀️ My response, ‘Honestly, even if it stays the same size, the people who are on Nostr now are exactly the ones I want to connect with—smart, interesting, early adopters, and like-minded.’

💯. I can only read so much. I’m perfectly happy if it is just people I enjoy.
it is really interesting to feel the environments now. The vibration is a different frequency here. literally. the people and content are patient and caring and the sentiments rarely create the frenetic energy that's an underlying medium on the other platforms. Especially now... these weeks leading to the election. The calm because people here are focused on a next beautiful world regardless of which empire is ruling is quite compelling. Nostr is a great place to call home.
Still very early Will… there’s some incredible innovations just around the corner… they’re going hit like a tsunami I was only at Sovereign Engineering for the first 10 days and it blew my mind
