100MHz FM transmitter from 1982, 25 Watts that we used for 3 months of non-licensed radio broadcast. A few coils in power amplifier are missing, and 2N6081/2N6082 (wrong marking) replaced the very expensive original BLY87/BLY89 (~$80-100 for a pair in those days!).
A while ago I tested #nostr and all i found was cryptobros and porn. Today it seems like the porn issue is under control and the feed seems nicer.
Clients got significant UI improvements, but still it feels a bit dangerous to post on a place where data spreads beyond author's control.
I managed to remove notes i published. But in theory all devs say this is UB. Considering there are tons of relays replicating and caching data, some users may still see it.
About this privacy topic it makes me think about the fact that we are not aware enough about all the data we give away and the false feeling of controlling it. Maybe being anonymous instead of having your real persona in this network is the way to go.. but still, i have mixed feelings with this interesting technology (yeah i like the protocol and it's simplicity)
Thoughs?
@pancake I gave up a few weeks ago because nostr fails to work when using through TOR socks proxy. Resources doesn't load, posts go to /dev/null, and it bugs out in general. Every browser refresh is a random experience.

@freemo The fear of a discussion seems to be growing in general, polarization over any issue. I fail to see the point of public posts if all they expect is an echo chamber.
@malwaretech I think you are forgetting about the inflation, the real inflation, not the officially reported one.
@loke To me the "Stockholm syndrome" is about assuming there should be an ecosystem (read; package manager) for a programming language. #Jenga_Cheese_Shop

@harrysintonen Definitely more apparent and upfront "evil" these days, in the past it would be dismissed as "tinfoil" when someone claimed that the gmail inboxes were scanned and info partially sold for ad purposes.
@rms I think electric power production should be regulated regarding pollution, not power consumption.
@malwaretech These days I think twice about pushing my code to GitHub because it will be part of some AI training set.
@malwaretech I think the standard of living would be pretty good in a "hypothetical perfect communist system", but it would be even better in a system where "true free markets" can exist.
In my humble opinion the current capitalist system in the western world is closer to communism than most people think regarding corruption because so many systems of needless regulations are in place. Sure, you need laws, but most of the current regulations are in place only to facilitate some form of manipulation of said market. For example, the bank and finance systems are horrible.
@pancake What if Copilot does the fun part of the programming (55%) and we are stuck with the boring part (45%)?
@ScoWer22 Hmm, "2 bullet wounds to his head", not very likely at all for a suicide. I can recommend the film "Kill the Messenger (2014)", it was pretty good.
@sonny Workbench makes me think of Amiga.
@malwaretech I'm still wondering at what point you became a corporate shill? You used to have integrity, what happened? Signed too many NDAs?
