Last Notes npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Was pleasantly surprised by how useful my custom feeds implementation ended up being for building the new home page in Flotilla. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Sounds like your browser signer doesn't support nip44? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Product Hunt has no non-big-tech login options 😬 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Any error in the console? This is in a generic try/catch, could be something related to notification APIs not being available npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I really appreciate the offer. I spent an hour looking through the nostria app and source code, and I'm really impressed. There is a lot there, it's well architected (thanks to angular), and, best of all, reasonably fast and consistent, which is hard to do on nostr. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Wot client side is expensive, but not prohibitive. You only need to download your follow's follow events to get decent coverage. As nostr grows and second order connections become more important though, a server side component will be more necessary to get good coverage npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I have a few already, enough to keep me busy. It's time to launch. I ran a software company before, which had a feature incomplete product for years, and yet we still made sales because people were willing to put up with perfections. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Lol npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! KEEP OUF npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Comparatively decentralized, but I agree. Server migration/federation is on the roadmap. I have already built some proof of concept slash commands, I'm going to write an article on this soon. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! All great suggestions, I've got my work cut out for me npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Yeah, in my experience ads has been a money sink npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! hopefully let the matrix feed me npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! @nprofile…e60u how can we make this happen? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Ok, should I spend money on Google Ads? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! That's a good distinction, feature parity is madness, but top-line features define what the product is actually useful for npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Nice, I like this npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Badges are a good idea, although there's nowhere to really see them npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! woohoo let me know if you need me to grease any rails (aka fix any bugs, offer support, whatever) npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! what do I offer them in return? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! boo npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! One thing you can do to help is upvote Flotilla on alternativeto: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Not what I was asking, but ok. Telegram isn't self-hostable either npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I don't intend to. And unlike Discord, flotilla is FOSS, interoperable, and doesn't have hosting built in. I think I can build a business based on hosting and support, not vendor lock in. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Done, although I plan to monetize and it's not really advertised npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Try a hard refresh, I think I fixed this yesterday npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Ok guys, help a dev out. I'm an awful marketer — hopefully I'll get some real help on this soon, but in the meantime, what are the highest leverage suggestions you have to catch the Discord wave that I can execute on right now? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Oh haha well we'll see. Flotilla is like 90% stable now, which is good enough to start catching early adopters, but I still need to build rbac, voice chat, relay admin dashboard, migration, etc etc etc. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! 🫡 flotilla.social npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Root looks very good npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Well I don't currently charge for my service, so no npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! In progress npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Working on it npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I've gotten 12 signups in the last few days for my hosting service and traffic has doubled on Flotilla this week. Small numbers still, but I'm hoping to start doing some real marketing this week and next. Maybe I can catch the wave. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Maybe this is specific to my relays-as-groups thing. Right now flotilla is doing feature detection on the relay to figure out if it can also use it as a blossom server. Explicit recommendations for companion servers would be better, but it's probably completely immaterial for other use cases. Nevermind npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I'm interested in exactly this, let me know if you start building something — I need to get this functionality into Flotilla. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I did npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I honestly don't even know npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I did this today. Just went to a diner and read a book for an hour while eating a German sausage and sipping drip coffee npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Oh, that's the one I was trying to remember npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! MLMs are the absolute worst. Way shadier than advertising based business models. We need a parallel parallel economy I guess. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I guess everything is made up reallly npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! That sounds made up npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I'm writing a guide for self-hosting a zooid relay right now, any favorite VPS providers that are privacy focused and accept bitcoin I should promote? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Social media, hating censorship got me in, hating the advertising-based internet business model is keeping me here. I also love things. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Beautiful, very interesting npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Them's fighting words 😂 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! This is true npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I resonate with Fred Rogers when he said "I got into television because I hated it so." npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Yeah, nip 10 was always a mess. e tags will still kind of work in most cases, but accidentally. q tags are much clearer. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Yes, definitely npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Nice, zsp worked great, good improvement! npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Thanks, I'll give zsp a try. `dig` gives me `5.75.152.70` npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Flotilla 1.6.4 is out! npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! good idea, I'll generate a few more npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! @nprofile…056v getting a new error with zapstore publish: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! At least if an attacker ever compromises my computer he won't know which nostr secret key is the real one npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Aegis is rumored to work on iOS, although I haven't had much success. Flotilla has an iOS app too npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Yesterday was it for me, I set up a gitea instance and am switching to it. I would use ngit but it's just not there yet npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I had 5 signups for hosting.coracle.social yesterday, I think that constitutes some real traction given how far along flotilla is npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! try flotilla.social for an alternative npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! *read npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! PDSes or flotilla relays? Solid pods are much more structured, relay access control is mostly implicit. I think this can be good, because it avoids protocol bloat. I don't know much about PDSes but from the article it sounds like they're pretty much public write npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Luckily it's built for self hosting so I can always blame the customer 😅 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! If bluesky people start using PDSes directly that would be a huge improvement npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I think identities are orthogonal via PLC DIDs, the centralizing part is the relays which feed the app views npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Channel permissions are done, group roles are still pretty primitive (pretty much just admin, and not editable in flotilla itself, but of course coming eventually). Performance is much improved recently, but of course always a work in progress. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Flotilla is universes now actually. We haven't rebranded, but that's the slot it's filling at AOS. I imagine you're talking about voice/video? That's coming, but in general the emphasis for flotilla will be a little different from discord. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Yeah, check it out at flotilla.social and let me know how it goes. Still lots of work to do, but it's reasonably stable at this point npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Thanks, I will npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Consider flotilla.social npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Probably not, but if we can't snipe the nerds we can't snipe anyone npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! No, but they care about the underlying protocol, so it's a good place to get some initial exposure. I haven't started marketing to my real customers yet, gotta resolve the sharp edges first. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Video/voice is coming, but I want to make sure the rest of it works well first npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! > An important caveat to Roomy's model lies in how it uses ATProto PDSs. Data is in a place where anybody in the world can download it, and the ATProto PDS doesn’t let Roomy store private data. As such, Roomy is not yet a private, secure chat solution by default. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I'm not really focused on the media stuff just yet. It's text-only for the moment. So "discord alternative" is a bit of a stretch for the gaming/media focused use cases for now npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I guess Discord is making headlines again, so go upvote Flotilla on hackernews: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! flotilla.social npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I recently started doing this. Only two voice notes so far, but I have 8 years before my first kid is 18, so plenty of time to build a pretty big corpus of stuff I want to pass on npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! LLMs are the next "radical monopoly", and will define a new category of privation of freedom, whatever effects it has on the old ones npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! "Being good at something is all about loving the sanding." npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! 😂 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I experienced this with ChatGPT. I took a picture to ask a question and it was like "hmmmmm I can't see very well, can you send another one" and then tried to upsell me because I had hit my upload limit npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! That's what I'm banking on. And model collapse npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! you should be ok then npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Jim E. Brown - I Ate a Valium at the Great Central Wetherspoons on Wilmslow Road npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! You'd have to export the event json and import it again, the database backends aren't the same. I don't know if relay29 has that, but I just added an import command to zooid npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I need to build a searchable list though, because I don't know what the user is interested in. Plus, my recent activity view doesn't populate because relay29 blocks any reqs without an h tag. I'd have to iterate over all groups to find out what the most recent event is. It's very silly npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Or pyramid, maybe npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Just switch to zooid npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Ok, so I got flotilla working with that relay but can I just say I hate it so much? It's on an old version of relay 29 which is super picky about filters, doesn't have negentropy, and has 800 groups. Every time I connect I have to download thousands of metadata events so I can show everything. Is this not a problem in chachi? I see you don't have a list of all rooms on the relay. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! okey doke npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Do you have a personal relay that is better than haven/chronicle too? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Well that gives me something to do because 0xchat doesn't work on flotilla due to there being 800 rooms npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! @nprofile…5krz is there a canonical groups group? Like a place where people working on groups can chat? There are a million different rooms/clients right now and so the conversation is very fragmented. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! sounds terrible npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! Where did you find this? It's perfect npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! I got smashed, but at least the other guy told me I'm strong npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! NWTs look nice, but I'm concerned this is going to make auth on blossom incompatible forever. Clients aren't likely to migrate (although maybe not a lot of them have implemented blossom auth) npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod! No, you're right, that would be good. The list and feed pages are super ugly too. When I find some downtime I'll redesign them
