Code & Codex started as a Substack newsletter. It went quiet for a while. I’m restarting it with a different publishing strategy. Substack is no longer the center, it’s just one distribution point. Dispatches are archived at jshamsul.com, mirrored on-chain via Paragraph, and relayed across Nostr. For Nostr specifically: essays are published here as long-form notes. I’m also reposting older dispatches so they live in the relay network. Just an experiment in permanence, redundancy, and open distribution.

Opening a browser tab and forgetting what you want to look up, is like entering a room and forgetting what is it you were supposed to look for. 👨‍🦳

Not sure why the text formatting is a bit off in this one.

CypherPunks are the Sufis of tech.

The elites, those in power, prefer a culture war, race vs. race, religion vs. religion,.. or even a gender war, men vs. women,.. Anything but a class war: the poor vs the rich. Political actors and social media platforms will amplify cultural division because they are emotionally powerful and easy to weaponise. Fear and hate keeps them in power. Identity-based conflicts create a fragmented working class, and unity among the poor is the elites’ biggest threat.

I might have jumped the gun on announcing Satslot a bit too early. The plan was to follow up with a few social media posts to build momentum. I was planning to create a press kit, and reach out to bloggers, and content creators in this niche. I wanted to spread the word across platforms, but something came up at work. That said, I’m picking things back up next week. There are still a few UI tweaks I’m refining. I am working on this feature that lets you download the entire Grid as a single collage image. Think of it as a kind of visual snapshot of Satslot’s evolution over time. In the meantime, I’m thrilled to see a few slots already claimed. You are the true early Satslot owners. Thank you for being part of the beginning. I don’t have a press kit ready yet, but here’s a blog post that goes deeper into what Satslot is all about:
