"The cloud is just someone else's computer" Take this quote ^ and apply it to your favorite tech: - Nostr is just someone else's server - Ecash/Ark/Spark is just someone else's Lightning Node - Mining pools are just someone else's block template etc

People that assert “the plebs and normies of the world are too stupid for self-custody, running a lightning node, running a server, etc” should not be trusted! They do not believe in the enduring human spirit of the individual! They are central planners who want to “solve” this problem for you with their miraculous solution - “you will not need the sovereignty of a server, a node, a utxo if you just adopt the solution!” they proclaim! Do not accept the empty promises of “operators” and custodians! Learn to use the tools!

The barrier of entry to digital sovereignty is and always will be, running a server. If you do not run the server, someone else is running it for you, they are your administer. You are their subject. You must be your own administrator or else you will be, in some way or another, a subject.

What is the most based way to support push notifications? Minimal infra, most private, etc

Gotten word from multiple people that they are building with SNSTR already! Please tell me any weaknesses you find! I want SNSTR to be the hardest possible Nostr devkit

Introducing SNSTR! A lightweight secure nostr development kit built for renegades, rebels, rejects (and other R words) ! https://github.com/austinkelsay/snstr

I have been building snstr that last 6 months or so with the goal of making the most secure minimal dependency nostr library that I can use and rely on for all my nostr dev work moving forward!

Check it out and please let me know what you think! (Especially if you think it sucks)

“If you don’t believe me or don’t get it I’ll just use this quote to justify whatever I’m saying”

Just shipped igloo-server v0.1.8! 🔁 Replaced SSE w/ WebSocket (auth + auto-reconnect) 📈 Node health checks + auto-restart w/ backoff 📊 Status API now includes live metrics 📦 Docs, OpenAPI & release automation overhauled Full suite of FROSTR Apps coming together

Frostr

Are the nips hosted on a nostr relay anywhere? Preferably as addressable (up to date) long form notes My nostr-mcp-server has nip search functionality but it uses gh api and is pretty slow so would love to rip it out for another nostr query All of the nostr queries work great
