Nostr is so dead, it's hardly worth the effort in development. Sorry. We used Nostr in its heyday to launch the block party, and we still have a core audience here, so we stay. But the network effe...

For me, I just disagree with the premise, but I think that's because I don't want nostr to be something that someone else may want it to be.

The network effect for mass social media of this type is already owned by a bunch of apps.

And Nostr is more than just a Twitter clone. It's a protocol that you can use to transmit data through relays. And that has use cases that Twitter can't even touch.

I am glad that it's just my eccentric little group of relatively anonymous online friends and not an algorithm feeding me the same garbage every day.

I think (after scolding, Marty Bent for staying on the X platform) Matt Odell ended up re-establishing his presence on X claiming it was in part because Nostr had failed.

This actually made me laugh, but I understand it's missing something that he wants or had on Twitter. It's not doing what his vision for the protocol should do. And to be honest, I don't think that matters.

At least for now, Nostr is less like an addictive influencer infested platform than it is something like ham radio, which is an esoteric geeky wasteland to a certain extent, but it's still important, and so is this protocol.

I have to say...

I like the idea of a low flush toilet. I mean, I like the idea of my exports becoming someone else's problem through the magic of plumbing.

But I don't like the TOILET of a low flush toilet. It leaves a lot of toileting out of the trying to be a toilet.

My mother was one of three sisters. She passed a couple years back. Her older sister just passed a couple days ago.

I am heading out that way to go to the funeral. And my cousin asked if I would be a pall bearer.

The older I get, the more I understand that if we're lucky in this life, we must see a lot of death.

And I'm a bit of a soft-hearted soul, so I feel it deeply.

I was not even very close to my aunt. But still I feel her loss very strongly.

When I go, I will be able to stay with the youngest of the three sisters while I am there.

There is beauty in the pain.
