Trade secret 🤫 Try mine and see for yourself

Setting up a server just to proxy an OAuth client_secret is security masturbation. You let everyone use that endpoint anyway. So it's better to just hardcode it.

Trying to play the devil’s advocate here, maybe it can make some sense if you’re rolling out multiple deployment environments and want to be able to reuse the build and can’t lookup env vars for whatever reason.
And/or if you don’t 100% control the oauth server and it has some arbitrary BS which forces rotation of the client secret that wouldn’t align with your release cycle (?)

I am hiring engineers to develop hardware at the intersection of acoustics, magnetism and RF. functional schizoids preferred https://blossom.primal.net/e71e86ffbb6985f63e760a1e588b310e8bf0c1873dbdcd8...

I think I fill the “functional schizo” checkbox, not sure about the other stuff though 🤣

I have some Erlang experience from working in an IoT automation and telemetry product.

The RF protocol was proprietary and it was handled by spawning a gen_statem (refactored from gen_fsm) process per product in the mesh network. It was simple but effective.

Ohh that makes sense. I spent a lot of time trying to make progressive images actually work like browsers do, but no deal...

Would be so cool if progressive images worked, I suppose they could bring data usage down? Like if the app cloud halt downloading the image once it has enough pixels to be “good enough” given the size of the container they’re being displayed (and resuming the download if the user zooms in and stuff).

Have you documented the issues you are facing somewhere?

I root so hard for you all to find balance with alcohol. For many, that balance is zero. Alcohol is a drug. It is addictive. And it can destroy your life if you let it. For those seeking a balance ...

I’m one of those weirdos whom alcohol just doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to lol

Like it makes me more focused, less anxious and stressed out, to the point that it’s just not worth drinking more than a few sips in social gatherings.

Also, for about a year I had to take a shot of Whiskey in the morning to ease the pain of dealing with stupid coworkers.

It’s kind of sad that I can’t seem to have fun with alcohol (other than making drinks and fancy stuff) like normal people do but instead have it as some sort of “tool”.

Of course if I drink too much I will just black out like anyone else, but it’s mostly “Ballmer Peak” overall.

Fair enough, I've not yet looked into whatever Damus Android is doing.

Yeah an actual Cashu mint. The results is mint the code of which you or anyone can attest and the database of which you or anyone can also attest, as long as you trust AWS and their hypervisor. Or I...

I don’t think it’s fair game to say nostr relies on DNS.

It’s not like matrix, activity pub and all that federated crap where identities are tied to server names.

We just happen to connect with relays to send and fetch notes, that more often than not do have a DNS.

And we have people building P2P experiments with nostr, which further proves the point.

What I mean is that every nostr relay and media server is on an ICANN domain, so without connecting to ICANN DNS nothing on Nostr works.
