Morning walk before work

GM #nostr. Have a great day! ☕️🫂

I’m running a Nostr relay on a $6 per month VPS. It wouldn’t handle a lot of traffic (it is only for my own testing purposes) but Nostr relays can be run on relatively cost effective infrastructure.

Test

GM Nostr! Have a great day! ☕️🥚🥓🫂

Interesting NANOG presentation by Geoff Huston about IPv6. It covers the history, looks at why adoption has been slow, and whether IPv6 will still be relevant in the future.

Last weekend of the fringe here in Adelaide. Some of the street performers around the city yesterday. Sword swallowing, balloon swallowing and fire!

Saturday morning walk

Colours of Asia festival in the city earlier today.

Starlink introducing 1Mbps down/0.5Mbps up rate limits on priority plans once users exceed their monthly data allocation. https://au.pcmag.com/networking/110170/starlink-imposes-dramatic-speed-cap-for-those-on-priority-plans

Be careful who you send sats to as there appear to be some fake accounts harvesting zaps from GM notes. If in doubt, check the account as they all share similar characteristics:

- they generally only engage with GM notes, replying with the same reply each time

- they don't post new notes themselves, just repost others to make them look more legitimate

- they have a small number of followers

- they have a generic name and simple one line bio (if at all)

- nostr.band shows that they have received sats but not sent any (or a very small amount)

- nostr.band shows many of them first became active around the same time, usually within the last couple of months

Tonight’s walk

The new UUUUU protocol - “Unnotes and Unother Unstuff Untransmitted by Unrelays”. 🤣🤣🤣

Posting non-banger non-notes is underrated! 🤣

These are the things that keep me here and optimistic for the future of Nostr.

1. The friends you can make and the interesting, insightful conversations

2. Ownership and portability of your identity

3. No forced algorithms

4. Ecosystem of different interoperable apps

5. Developers who are passionate about building on this protocol

GM! Sunday morning farmer’s market. Much cooler 24°C day here today. Still no rain though. ☕️🫂💜
