Awesome sauce. When I wired my whole house I went though 200ft of cable & made idk ~20 ish cables in total. It saves so much money it’s really worth it.

Folks, check the size of your profile image. Many folks are using massive 10MB gifs, some 50MB gifs.
This takes seconds to load on mobile if it loads at all.
Your readers are wasting a lot of data simply trying to download your profile picture before reading your post.
Just as a reference, my profile pic is 800x800 pixels (which is super high resolution) and only consumes 57kb.

165kb isn't too bad for mine. Animated profile images are cool, and all, but you're right: they are a beast for mobile data. A 50MB image costs ~$0.05 to download. Multiply that by repeat downloads and multiple people doing that, and your data plan is shot.

Most people have between 1GB and 2 GB of disk space available for amethyst. If the cache is full, Amethyst will be downloading the 50MB image every time you see a post from the user. If the app goes to the background and back and there is no disk space, it downloads again.
So, costs multiply by a LOT with regular use.

also consider you may be doing caching wrong
wtf are you storing the original image for? resize and optimize it
213 days ago•••
I want a centralized server scaling images. The scaling happens on the phone, but only after the full download.
213 days ago•••
I said just that Download image, resize, cache for further use the smaller version
213 days ago•••
Also, scaling is not an issue since most Gif pictures are close to the size on the screen. The real culprit is the animation and the time of the gif.

can we just stop having GIFs and use APNG and/or normal video files
213 days ago•••
I have tried that. It doesnt work.
Amethyst requires many image sizes, including the original size. Even without the original size, rescaling for all sizes the app can use takes more space than just keeping the original.
213 days ago•••
For profile pictures you do not need the original size usually.
Have a proper cache with mixed LRU/LFU and store 2 sizes: the original, and a smaller optimized version that can be on-demand scaled down to whatever you need.

It's funny that you think I don't have a proper cache even though I use state of the art caching system.

Wen svg profile imgs?
Many of them are simple graphics, and they could totally be SVGs.
213 days ago•••
It should work with SVG as well.

I'll have to try it!

Nah I like serving my high def photo straight from my web server.
213 days ago•••
? It's about the size, not the server choice.
213 days ago•••
Nah, I meant I just like the act of serving my profile image in hi def (and it just happens to be from my server)

Nostr is open and permissionless. Anyone and everyone can build upon it. Yes, even people that want Shitcoin support. We don't have to like it. We don't have to use those clients. We should understand the beauty that it demonstrates though.

Without shitcoins we wouldn't have evidence for how much better Bitcoin is.
213 days ago•••
I guess. We need something to compare against.
213 days ago•••
We need data to compare. The block size wars were great because it gave users data and a real choice to make, instead of just speculation on a dreamy version of the alternative.

Not having control of your money takes on new meaning in some places: it can be the difference between life and death
In Gaza's "currency desert," people have to try and wait up to 15 days, dodging airstrikes, heatstrokes, and looters simply to withdraw their wages and remittances into cash
There are only 3 working ATMs, and living costs have quadrupled since October 7th. Most people can't access their money anymore and live on handouts
The craziest part: the paper currency that merchants most widely accept in Gaza are Israeli shekels. Meaning, the very notes issued by the state that is currently bombing Palestinians to smithereens
Fiat currency is so irredeemably broken

Amazing! Nostr has over 40,000 weekly active users. The retention rate of trusted users within 30 days after registration is 20%, which is double the retention rate 6 months ago. This shows that Nostr's developers have been improving the product and more people like it.
We are moving forward steadily, and this is a very good and healthy growth. This is a great signal.
We will win #nostr 🚀🫂💜
