Yes. It's silly but relays like nostr.mom and nos.lol ask for PoW for Kind 24133, damus and nostr.band quickly starts to rate limit, and as you said, a lot of clients won't do auth. Also there's mostly no easy way to whitelist specific pubkeys as a lot of clients use random client keys. This is my main problem with supporting NIP-46 (and NWC as well) with Haven. For most clients to work properly I would have to allow everyone to write Kind 24133 notes. Shouldn't he a major problem given that these are ephemeral, but still... We need better NIP-46 libraries for clients so that I can at least require AUTH and whitelist a few client pubkeys.

Agreed. Honestly, this is a noobie question, but is there anything special at all about kind 24133 that requires special relay software? I'm not being sarcastic here, it's a genuine question, maybe folks want to restrict queries, require auth or promote lower latency + some more relaxed policies given the sheer amount of notes. Is there a legitimate reason to centralise signing in Software like Bunklay or is everyone doing it just because? , I assume that you are the right person to ask here?

It depends. Am I talking to myself with a megaphone? Or on social media, a podcast, the radio? Well, who am I kidding… nobody. Nobody is the answer, not even me, lol.

Mixed bag. Some are good, others not so much.

I forgot to share a link to Omarchy. Here you go https://omarchy.org

The fact that you actually know how to do shit already puts you way ahead of most of the "white colar braniacs" out there. https://youtu.be/GTRlmH51Pes

🤣 🤣🤣 IKEA is basically the Deno + Nostr "AI templates" of furniture though. You get something crappy, ugly, a bit unstable in a "furniture like" shape that you can assemble in no time and feel like a master woodworker just for using a screwdriver. Sure, it won’t last a decade, but it’s there. The Swedish were way ahead of us all along. #vibewoodworking #vibecarpentry

We are officially a Fedora (mostly KDE) + macOS household here. I just don’t have the time to babysit a rolling Linux distro, read release notes for every update, etc. KDE is good enough for me, and it’s more approachable for other members of my family. However... I do get the Arch + Hyperland hype, and DHH really hit the spot with Omarchy. I’ve skipped Omakub since I’m a bit allergic to Ubuntu, but I have to admit it: he pulled off a better setup than mine, and I’ve been curating my dotfiles for ages. Unpopular opinion here on Nostr, where everyone tells you to “study Bitcoin and Nostr” by... buying cloud subscriptions or busyboxes with janky abstraction layers stacked on top of other abstraction layers: If you're going to drop 10k sats on a cloud subscription or $500+ on one of these “busyboxes for bitcoiners,” you might as well spend that money on a cheap Chinese box and install something like Omarchy. Run your own node. Run your own relay. Run your own firewall. Run your own reverse proxy. Run your own observability stack. Deal with the script kiddies funking around. That is learning. It’s doable. It’s not that hard. And despite the steep learning curve, you’ll actually save time by learning to run and fix things. I’m not being a gatekeeper, by the way. Paying for convenience is fine. Actually, it is more than fine. It's how we work ad a society. Like I said, I'm a happy consumer of Apple, Google, and Samsung products, as well as custodial wallets and a huge number of services. Some of these are even good investments. they help small developers stay afloat. But I don’t kid myself into thinking this is a learning experience at anything more than a superficial level, and neither should you. #Linux #ArchLinux #Omarchy #SelfHosting #BuyVsBuild #OnTheNatureOfLearning

While the AI Hyping Cycle lasts they won't give a f* to consumer grade GPUs. Why build anything for end customers when you can live of government subsidies and big tech lunacy?

GM. Tom is amazing. Be like Tom :)

GM Nostr. Build and fix the software you use. Use the software you build. Geek out with the community. Help where you can. Ignore the noise. Give zero f*s. #gm #devstr #lyfestyle #buildi
