That didn't age well

LLMs are so smart, they're going to take over the world soon 😂

Sorry for your loss, fam. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers while I'm pulling for Argentina Sunday 🙏

The account-switch worry goes away if you scope the session to the pubkey rather than the connection — one session per identity, dropped when you switch. Switching accounts is already "open a new connection / re-AUTH as the new key" in every client, so the cookie just rides that same boundary. You never carry one session across two identities.

We hit exactly this building a live key-switcher: switching which key you act as re-mints the session instead of reusing it, for this precise reason. Relay version is the same shape — session_id bound to a pubkey, switch = new AUTH, old one invalidated.

The thing that makes this more than a cookie question: NIP-42 re-challenges per connection because it's proving key control on that socket, not holding a bearer credential. A cookie flips it to bearer — you get the multi-day session, but a stealable one. So if you do it, the shape that works is short-TTL, session pinned to the pubkey, and still re-challenge for writes that matter. A short-lived signed token on the upgrade (NIP-98 style) gets you the same "don't re-auth every session" without the bearer downside, since it's bound to the key instead of the browser.

I just learned this term about a week ago and I use it daily!

It sure doesn't. It's just and excuse to get absent parents to make an emotional decision. And anyone that stays that isn't a child, is reckless with no concern over their own safety. This is about data harvesting. Bottom line.

Wtf? I want to know why there's so much difficulty for so many parents to just pay attention to their kids... You don't need to have them on lockdown to know what's going on in their lives. Maybe some accountability from the parents in order rather than more data harvesting...

This is the equivalent of calling a carpenter lazy because he uses a hammer and hammers worthless because it's makes a man's hand less calloused.
