🧑‍💻 - Can't help really, dunno anything about Windows. 🧑‍🎓 - But don't you write programs that run on Windows? 🧑‍💻 - Well, yeah, I help run a website which windows users can use. But I'm just writing for the web. I think maybe the testers run some Windows machines but none of the programmer staff do. Certainly not me. 🧑‍🎓 - Oh. 🧑‍💻 - I mean technically I mostly write software that runs in a just-in-time compiler environment, in a virtual container running Linux, that's hosted on another machine running Linux, that delivers a program that compiles into web assembly that runs on a virtual machine in a browser which could be on Windows, or OS X, or Android, or iOS, or even BSD or some experimental phone or something net yet invented. 🧑‍🎓 - Please shut up.

Burnham removing Mahmood from Home Secretary is great. Being an authoritarian monster, she belongs on the back benches not anywhere near the seat of government. 👂️️👈️ Wait, I'm hearing that she's to be the chancellor instead? Well, um. Oh. Okay. Promoting Shabana Mehmood to chancellor seems to be the most weak dumb move Burnham could possibly make. She's authoritarian and fiscally inexperienced having shown no sign she understands what money is or how investment works or what a fiscal multiplier is. She'll likely treat the budget like a household or business accounts. Good luck everyone.

Seems like my testing has helped improved things, and as a result of Darren's changes it's crashing slightly less now and has the mutiple-identities features enabled.

Oh, and the signer logs do seem to have data now. Has this thing auto-updated itself? I think maybe it went from 0.12 to 0.13 without me doing anything? 🤔 Logs are no longer empty for some reason anyway.

So. What do I think of remote signers, assuming this one is typical... Its surprising that they work through relays instead of having to punch a port-forwarding hole in my router. Dunno if this is better. Makes everything feel quite slow and I would think the constantly-open websocket to multiple devices would be quite draining on a relay. Don't currently run a relay myself though so I suppose that's someone else's problem. Does seem to be leading to lots of timeouts. This particular chip seems to reboot itself a lot. Doesn't help that all Nostr clients are shit so it's hard to tell which thing is actually broken. Using a relay to authenticate a post which then ends up on some other different relay is mind-bending. There's so many keys involved here. We have a key for the signer communications and then other keys for the things the signer actually signs and these aren't the same keys. This one even has some kind of key-for-deriving-keys, though I couldn't get that working coz I couldn't find a way to select which identity was in control of the app-link. I think I understand better why it's more secure than pasting nsec into web-apps. Posting nsec isn't less secure than typing passwords into web-apps, and a well designed web-app which you trust shouldn't be doing anything bad with it that wouldn't also be just as bad from a native app or client which people put passwords into all the time. But with a bunker-connection between the app and the signer, you do retain the ability to revoke at any time. Don't have to build a whole new identity if the app misbehaves, can just revoke it's access and carry on. Not sure if it's best to have this signer on a separate hardware like this or if just running one on the phone or desktop computer might be more efficient. Certainly it's taking up a USB power socket now. Anyway, been interesting exploring what it all actually is. Lets see if I can avoid posting nsec anywhere else from now on.

Dark theme with the sidebar hidden displays all right. Back button doesn't work though. Seems like it always takes you to Nosterverse instead of back to, say, notifications where I just came from. Does seem like one of the less awful ones I guess. Had to sign in with the nsec though, the remote signer don't work.

Part of the issue is of course that every single Nostr client still sucks. Every one of them. Some are app-store bollocks that you'd have to install google play services for, or use an iPhone. Most of the web-clients either don't work at all with Firefox/ublock or work so poorly they're almost unuseable. Many issues with z-ordering of divs, blocking out things by putting the wrong things on top. Or sizing. Or like snort, they work okay in desktop mode maybe but everything is out of shape on mobile. If you write a post longer than a few lines, the buttons to post it scroll off the screen and can't be retrieved. And every app is like this. So far as I can see there ain't a single good one among all of the long list of them. All vibe-coded slop not tested adequately on anything other than the dev's own Google Chrome browser, completely unsuitable for anyone using a privacy phone and refusing to install Google services. Here on nostr.com for instance, I'm having to reload the page every time I wanna post because otherwise it just locks up, presumably failing to find the signer? Works okay after a reload. Just one post per page-load. And of course not at all on ironfox/graphene.

Wow, that looks super noisy. Eeep. Fear I'd get a headache trying to read that! Doesn't seem to want to allow the remote signing from LibreWolf on my desktop or Ironfox on the Graphene phone anyway. Just timing out.

Nostr.com doesn't apparently work at all on ironfox on Graphene. So can't use the signer or a a reckless nsec pasting there. Seems okay here in nostrudel on ironfox though. Think this post from there will work.
