Arguably nostr and Bitcoin are steps towards utopian because of their transformative potential. Its easy to forget the constraints of reality when dreaming of utopia, but its also important to find a good direction when setting sail.

There are no free #Linux kernel drivers for contemporary Wi-Fi hardware. Tell Qualcomm, Inc. to release fully-free drivers for its in-production Wi-Fi chipsets, just as it\'s predecessor, Atheros, did sixteen years ago:
#TollGate finally runs on a Rapsberry Pi 4b+ now thanks to @Joel 🇨🇭 !
This is such a powerful addition to the list of supported devices. Node operators who's hard drives became too small or who gave up on passive income via lightning routing can now run a TollGate.
Thanks for your service! 🙏
Recently I learned she interesting things about routing.
We have been thinking about how nostr could play a role in messages propagating through a fully natted network without requiringamn authority like IANA to structure the address space.
We considered using nostr relays as a tool to reduce chattyness in such a network - will elaborate more in a dedicated writeup. Apparently networking people have considered similar approaches and [they would describe](
) the nostr relay as a "super node" in this context.
Also, related: apparently greedy routing is very efficient and it can be done effectively when devices know what their GPS coordinates are - aka "geographic routing".
If they don't known their GPS coordinates, they can do quite a lot with synthetic data. This synthetic data stuff is an area of research. While promising, it still has limitations.

I might need slides to for a 10 minute explanation of nostr for a technical/networking audience shortly.
Does anyone have some good visualizations of TIP-01 that I can use?
