Should everyone run a nostr relay? What does that even entail? Why would or wouldn’t you?

2026-02-05 18:42:46 UTC

The next significant step in this trading card manager is generating eBay API keys, establishing a connection to them, and utilizing them to directly upload items and images to listings. However, I’m extremely hesitant and hesitant to proceed with this task. 😅 i’m not sure why, I’ve already been approved for the eBay stuff. I just need to set it up.

Once I’ve got my trading card manager app working, I’m going to make a homeschool management app so that there’s a homepage for my kids to go to for lesson time. Basically a corporate intranet for my kids 😂
Links to lessons, educational videos, a lesson journal, pictures for tracking art, document storage for handwritten scanned lessons, calendars, and a point system to track points they could earn for doing good or reaching milestones. they could trade in points in the in-app store for things they ask me to add to the store or I know they want. Basically everything I need to make my life easier.
Maybe even actual profiles and such, since it’ll be local anyways.

Why do people wanna call it bitcoins/bits instead of Satoshi‘s? Sats adds a bit of culture to the denomination. It’s basically the penny.

It’s quite peculiar to be on nostr while abstaining from social media. You catch glimpses of what’s happening in the world that should make you concerned or outraged, yet you can simply move on with your day.

One of the things that keeps bothering me about modern social networks is how following someone is an all or nothing deal. I might follow you because you yo-yo, or because you are doing something interesting with AI, or because you are experimenting with plant cloning. That is the reason I am there. But the feed does not stop at that boundary. I also get everything else you want to talk about. Your opinions, your arguments, your beliefs, your unrelated interests.
If you think about it like a Venn diagram of two people, the overlap that caused the follow in the first place is usually pretty small. That is the part I care about. When the system keeps pushing the non overlapping parts in front of me, the parts where we diverge, it creates friction that did not need to exist. Over time, that friction becomes the reason to unfollow, even though the original reason for following never went away.
That tension is a big part of why I am building small, focused web apps on Nostr, like YoYoStr. I am curious about what other people in a hobby are making, learning, or struggling with. I am not especially interested in consuming the full surface area of their thoughts. I want shared context without mandatory total exposure.

My kids and I are on our third lap through Harry Potter. We’re on book two of Narnia and book one of Artemis Fowl. It’s almost painful to read Narnia out loud. The children and other characters speak so properly and a lot of it is dated. Wish it could be rewritten from today’s perspective. Through that’s basically The Magicians and I’m NOT reading that to them 😂

Did this import their posts as notes from the dates they originally posted them? If so, did you need to specify anything to make that work?
