He is risen indeed!

It comes from the Hebrew verb "mashach", which simply means to annoint as with oil, which was a common practice for kings, but also for other offices, and even objects. The participle form, "meshiach," from which we get the term Messiah, is used of kings for sure, but also of priests and prophets, which is of interest since Christ is not only king, but also priest (of the order of Melchizedek) and prophet.

Well, from all forms of idolatry, but that particular form would certainly be included.

Really people!? Freedom comes with responsibility. Why do you need a pfp that's nearly 20MB!?

We weren't talking about ownership, though. We were talking about reliable deletion of data. Ownership has little to do with whether you can reliably expect that your data has been deleted, access does. If anyone can access the data, they can copy it.

Of course, having only one server that you are posting ypur data to makes it less likely that it will still be living anywhere else when you want it deleted, and that is an advantage of Pubky, but it comes with the disadvantage of not having redundancy: less censorship resistance.

Homeservers don't solve this by any measure. If you run your own homeserver, you might have more assurance, but if you don't then you are still just trusting that the operator actually deleted your data and didn't keep a copy.

If the data on that homeserver can be read by others, then you have no way of knowing whether any of them made a copy that could be republished elsewhere.

There is no such thing.

Centralized platforms give us the illusion of being able to delete our data, but we have no way of knowing whether they or anyone else with an interest in doing so, has created a copy.

It is also impossible to prove the non-existence of anything.

Deletion on Nostr will always be "best effort," and a client like Amethyst in particular really can't do anything about that, because deletion policy is handled where the data is stored: on the relays. All Amethyst can do, which I believe it already does, is send a deletion request to all known relays in accord with NIP-62. It is then up to that relay to comply with that request.

Relays that are offline, or that are not public may never receive that request. Still other relays might receive the request and ignore it. There is nothing Amethyst or any other client can do to prevent that.

The primary way I use Tailscale is to connect to my Umbrel from my other devices when I am away from home. Having Nostr VPN packaged for Umbrel would be incredible.
