Do you have any concrete examples of what type of tech you have in mind that shares human values?
This is the #bookstr macro I want to use for publishing all of the Great Works, so anyone interested should scream at me, now. (Or don't, and scream at me, later, as I am always around. πŸ˜‚) I've been working on it, for months, by attempting to publish different `30040` structures and see how I would best-address the individual parts. Also, I've been reading a lot of citation pattern documentation. That's how I came to the conclusion to make one generic book macro, rather than something #Bible specific. #christian #catholic #biblestr
The #bookstr πŸ“– macro is hierarchical. If you find a section or verse event, in the wild, you can just drop the section tags, to find the whole chapter, or the section and chapter tags, to find the whole book. This means you can always backtrack to the entire publication, from just one quoted line or paragraph. We are going to be having these tags in all of our publications, so you will be able to "Bible-search" and "Bible-cite" any of our books! I love books. Name checks out. 😎
Some things: 1. *You have to scroll-right on mobile.* Unlike Jumble and Alexandria, Wikistr is an unapologetic desktop-focused app, and that's why it's cool. If you have a wide screen, you can open up lots of panels, and make some wider, and it turns into the document version of a Bloomberg terminal. Credit for this design goes to @fiatjaf. 2. The different Wikistr themes have different looks, help text, and *different relays*, for the document search and the social interactions. #Quranstr uses Nostrabia, for instance, whilst #Biblestr focuses on Christpill. The basic #Wikistr has been left secular. I am looking for a Jewish relay, but haven't yet found one, so #Torahstr uses generic ones. 3. All have light and *dark themes*. The light themes are so much prettier, but I know you will all use the dark ones. 4. All themes take *your personal relay list* into account, and share a few document relays, so you can just pick the theme you like and use that. 5. *We printed the Bible first because Gutenberg did* and he's the inspiration for our Nostr printing press. We will proceed to print all other open-license books we can find, including the Torah, Quran, classical authors, English literature, etc. They will all be searchable, with this mechanism. 6. This wikistr *can find and render kinds 300023, 30041, 30817, 30818, 30040*, and the comments are kind 1111 and you can vote at the top of the panels, using the up/down arrow buttons. Only kinds 30817/818 are in the left-most panel feed, to keep it uncluttered and true to the origins. The hyperlinks mentioned are: The original Wikistr, that I forked: https://wikistr.com/ Wikistr Imwald 🌲 https://wikistr.imwald.eu/ https://torahstr.imwald.eu/ https://quranstr.imwald.eu/ https://biblestr.imwald.eu/ GM
It's worth noting that Psalm 42 is prayed by the priest and altar servers at the beginning of every Catholic Mass celebrated according to the old form (1962 and previous).
Hey, all of the remaining half a dozen real humans still using NIP-01, just passing by to wish you all Happy Holidays! Yes, I’m being inclusive despite celebrating Christmas myself, so… leave a comment that likely won’t be delivered, and even if it does, won’t be replied to, so, in good Nostr fashion, you'll never know. See you next year... Maybe?
#asknostr I'm thinking about printers I've been wanting to start sending more physical letters because there's something so charming about receiving something physical in the mail. The only problem I have is printers. The existing printer I have is a pain to maintain because I have to constantly stock up colored ink even when I'm just printing black and white letters I know that this is because of DRM that is literally printing information about the serial number of my printer on each page and I really don't like that. I'm wondering if there's a way for me to have a DRM-free sort of printer alternative? I've been thinking about whether a teletype might make sense for my use case? Or maybe a receipt printer or even taping a pen to my 3d printer to have it write for me hahaha. Are there any good and affordable options for printing letters without all the DRM? Would a teletype machine be the right path for what I need?

Could Private Information Retrieval let Nostr clients query relays without revealing who they follow? In theory, yes. In practice, Nostr's filter syntax raises hard cryptographic questions that don't have answers yet. This post asks those questions.

The Gap Between PIR and Nostr: Open Problems in Private Relay Queries
Can PIR hide Nostr queries from relays? Compound filters and subscriptions don't map to existing schemes. Here are the open problems.

These actually look great if you know Obtanium or Zapstore...

Stop Manually Checking GitHub Releases β€” These Tools Automatically Install & Update Apps on Linux β€œPackage managers are essential tools on Linux systems. They help you install, update, and remove software packages with simple commands. Most distributions come with their own package managers, like apt, dnf, or pacman. However, many modern tools are distributed as pre-compiled binaries via GitHub releases. Developers using languages like Go, Rust, and Deno often release their software this way. New projects that are not included in the official distro repository yet have to opt for this method. This creates a gap between traditional package managers and these GitHub-hosted releases.” This is probably going to be of more interest to those using Debian and Fedora based package managers, as these are the most popular packages, which are typically generated directly on code hosting sites. But some interesting options to consider between deb-get, Autonomix, Eget, Install Release, bin, stew, and AFX.
