Hey #asknostr: what are some current, popular ways to write long form articles for #nostr? Few years ago I used @Habla News, is that still the way? Are there alternatives? I've had issues in the past with Markdown rendering issues on habla (although I'm generally happy with it), just wondering if there's alternatives that support Markdown-based drafting rather than WYSIWYG.

arfy's musings on privacy: This is a great post and resonates on so many levels. I used to be like this, for ~25 years. It was extremely difficult in the later years. It was easier in the days of dial-up BBSing, and when the internet was much younger. Privacy and anonymity were very much the de facto position back in those days of the early 90s. I have wild stories of hacking and phreaking back in the day, but those are tales for another time. Anyway, life and work got in the way, and I eased up on this position. Feelsbadman, but it is what it is. :goberserk: I still value my privacy, use VPNs and things like tailscale with my own hosts around the globe to protect my privacy. But I'd be a liar if I said I 100% cover all my tracks, all the time. Far from it. Kudos to anyone still making the effort to remain truly digitally clean. It's such hard work, and I respect people highly for trying to maintain it. :MEOWDY: View quoted note →

For anyone who is interested, apparently jumble has this "feature": if you specify just one single relay instead of the default optimal relays, you will end up with a protected event. Really wish we could toggle this behaviour, because I can see a lot of instances where it's not the desired behaviour for the user. I'm simply testing some code tonight against a single relay, and running into this. If you understand the problem, it's easy to just use another client, but it can be confusing if one is unaware.

Grab an event based on its hex identifier, with `nak`: (command line tools are arfy's fave for this reason, their flexibility is so great!) View quoted note →

Update on the superfriends #relay: Now that superfriends has migrated over to #strfry, I've been able to shut down this extra proxy filtering service I had in front of the old relay, which would blacklist known spammers. In lieu of that, I've ported my proxy filter code into a blacklist plugin for strfry. It's absolutely amazing how extensible this is! I love how I no longer need to run an extra service, and the plugin is called as needed to do the same thing. :catTime: View quoted note →

Hey @fiatjaf is there a way to fetch a hex string event with `nak`? For example I just want to fetch a post, or reaction event, based on a hex identifier. Thanks!

it's funny cause it's true 😼 View quoted note →
