I&#39;ve toyed with each separately, but not combined, and AI says that Cloudflare might drop the connection if a client doesn&#39;t keep reaching out to the relay more than once every 100 seconds.<br/><br/>If you have a open port on your router or VPpN, or wanted to toy around with Tor/I2P/FIPS, the tunnel requirements don&#39;t matter. 2026-10-23T11:15:07Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqqqqqtx04rd562g0ctvg74q2qjd8tl6tm6tqzhcj48h3dthjdvxczyzgs47g8ph7khmhx8ux542kr2j6a59jddwere8y8dn04ynrjqnnx66lpxh2 GN.

Now, if it works for you that’s great, and I started this post off with an iambic-pantameter-meme-word-filled sonnet, so don’t take this post as anything more than me having fun rambling about things I like.<br/><br/>Anyway, Gemini’s claim to fame is that it’s intentionally bare bones; lacking javascript and modern web APIs. I get it, we’re all annoyed by javascript powered pop-ups, tracking, and ads; the goal of Gemini being to avoid all of that by hamstringing what a Gemini pod can be. However, I see it as the Luddite approach to things, thinking the problems of the present can be fixed by going from Web 2 back to Web 1. The problem with going backwards is you create a whole host of problems, problems that were solved by Web 2, and at the same time you can serve a Gemini pod style site over HTTP as well.<br/><br/>Some drawbacks in itself aren’t a deal breaker, but again, it doesn’t bring anything new to the table whatsoever. Of the above protocols, most have the capability of doing some or all of the following: using non-centralized identifiers, hosting content without a static IP or open port, and providing built in redundancy. But want a JavaScript free website? Serve it over Tor/I2P/IPFS/nsite and just don’t put JavaScript in it - or serve it over something like Nostr NIP-23 (markdown only) or AcitivityPub/AT-Proto (generally plain text).<br/><br/>I guess my philosophy here is that, if you’re looking to use something that differs from what the web is now, ideally look for the options that solve problems in novel ways, rather than just removing old solutions to already solved problems. 2026-10-21T11:50:16Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqqqqqut97tsehu3d62y63qqtu2pe9vaugta05h0u3eqqu7edy5wgzyzgs47g8ph7khmhx8ux542kr2j6a59jddwere8y8dn04ynrjqnnx6426cry GM.

If it&#39;s AWS &amp; cloud services then prob carry on like normal.

Though some cash on hand, and having a few different banking options (different credit cards, some cash in services like PayPal, ect), could be handy to make sure I could buy things.<br/><br/>If you mean something really serious, like taking out the Grid and the internet, then that&#39;s a different story. A few days at least of food, fuel, batteries, and the like; warm clothes, a wind up radio/flashlight, a weapon, and probably some sort of solar power.

Even though some family members are rather advanced tech users, I&#39;m the only one who&#39;s actually made a hobby out of tech. Most people I know, and all of my family members, just use tech as a tool. None of us are big on social media either. <br/><br/>(I&#39;ve actually only met the first IRL user of Linux less than two years ago when a co-worker tried Manjaro. I&#39;m yet to meet someone IRL who I know uses Nostr/ActivityPub/AT, crypto, or any other decentralized protocol). <br/><br/>Right now, if somebody has no interest in tech as a hobby, a vanilla Nostr (and other protocols) experience probably won&#39;t bring much value to the average user.

AFAIK you can&#39;t do ebooks and geocaching on anything other than Nostr<br/>* Scaling a Nostr service is a lot easier and less resource intensive than scaling a large Activity Pub or AT based service<br/>* Doesn&#39;t rely on DNS (heavily American influenced) or a centralized servers for identity management<br/><br/>Technical Drawbacks:<br/>* Key based identities would need to be abstracted for the average user. Good luck having them manage their own keys.<br/><br/>Culture wise:<br/>* Nostr also lacks some of the extremists that have congregated on ActivityPub (both left and right) and AT (left). Sure the BTC people can get a bit loud sometimes, but it&#39;s nothing compared to the dark corners of the other two protocols.<br/><br/>Finally, while it&#39;d likely be considered a drawback to the German government, it&#39;d be a benifit to the people that Nostr is decentralized enough that they can&#39;t rule it with an iron fist like they&#39;re likely eyeing with big centralized AT/AP services. 2026-08-28T20:42:14Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0m96s688t3um36sfkq8uu8u99g4qv992eszdus2ck3ph8ylmv45szyzgs47g8ph7khmhx8ux542kr2j6a59jddwere8y8dn04ynrjqnnx626wmkx &#34;Dont forget to inform your local tweakers that every flock camera contains 2 grams of gold and 2 lbs of copper&#34;<br/><br/>Random comment I ran across and feel worth sharing for no apparent reason 😉 2026-08-25T14:15:29Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswjgjlqz4vp3483k8nmsydktzdyer92umrww5m2sn486zpdamqvsqzyzgs47g8ph7khmhx8ux542kr2j6a59jddwere8y8dn04ynrjqnnx6rmkrl5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqqrtqzclxqtgcy330wm98xh8ra0eg8enva9mpy2ke9jqzwr2vasppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp08ltdt3'>nevent1q…tdt3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah 2026-08-24T11:17:08Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsruur7vl849rwqudv8m97s0dhrfr9e84jzmtgrtt5t703e6qkw2nqzyzgs47g8ph7khmhx8ux542kr2j6a59jddwere8y8dn04ynrjqnnx6nxaz7f In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9ankxucf65560lcn89ffmqqzz3nvg2eeuq0up2yyqwk5na82uclcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtczpdysf'>nevent1q…dysf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Amythest, Ditto, and Wisp all stand out. 2026-08-24T11:15:49Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrkqw2nggyyrdgm5fdqpk06vrhsrdapec00ty96mv5kyhprv59q2qzyzgs47g8ph7khmhx8ux542kr2j6a59jddwere8y8dn04ynrjqnnx67cswp2 Well I just unintentionally jumped the tracks on my motorcycle. I&#39;m driving along a rural road at 55mph and thinking I&#39;m seeing a hill until last minute realizing it&#39;s just really mounded up train tracks.

Though I doubt they will, as somebody who&#39;s usually a people pleaser, my very much not people pleasing conversation is about as much as a fair warning as they&#39;re going to get before things either get fixed or I quit Monday morning.<br/><br/>My previous more or less &#39;standard&#39; job experience includes farm labor, a company that went bankrupt, and a company that was gutted by private equity. I&#39;ve never both seen a company be so incompetent and never grown to despise a job like I have before now. The fact they&#39;re critical infrastructure is horrifying. 2026-08-14T23:50:59Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9qqszja46tg207c56vd4d8m2tre2vv23q5m3kh3kdacn0erlnzagzyzgs47g8ph7khmhx8ux542kr2j6a59jddwere8y8dn04ynrjqnnx6knj32s <a href="https://nate.mecca1.net/posts/2026-08-12_cars3/">https://nate.mecca1.net/posts/2026-08-12_cars3/</a><br/><br/>A long and rambly complaint posts about the state of vehicles after I thought I&#39;d need to purchase one.<br/><br/>Be forwarned, it&#39;s my longest post yet (and that&#39;s even after breaking it into three different posts).

I like handwriting things (especially fiction, where I can type faster than my brain can write making for a less enjoyable writing experience). But handwriting adds another step, going from draft &gt; revise &gt; share to draft &gt; transcribe &gt; revise &gt; share.<br/><br/>Had some decentish luck with other AIs, but they made enough mistakes that I found it better off manually transcribing than editing a mistake riddled document (mistakes by AI, the mistakes in my writing that the document is riddled with is what the revise process is for). But Claude was immaculate. Only a single mistake, mistaking a &#34;D&#34; for a &#34;P&#34;. No other issues, and it even picked up on dashes and struck through content.<br/><br/>This&#39;ll probably also be confusing for some staunchly anti-AI people lol. In one sense, I&#39;m writing purely human fully analog literature on physical paper (albeit literature of meh quality). Then I might start turning around and giving it to an AI. While I&#39;m there I might as well even have it proofread it with me. I might have just crossed cypherpunk and luddite. 2026-08-10T01:12:25Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvam9f36apnuvqwvrdghtd0pg7997tsmwe7p8ftjaq3ke6uayhumgzyzgs47g8ph7khmhx8ux542kr2j6a59jddwere8y8dn04ynrjqnnx6z79psh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdela7vjgfakssqt48m0k4rgqcw3m3gzlvhf6vlf9uzdeatzytdzqprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerjv4sk66t5dqh8gme008vrww'>nevent1q…vrww</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>LocalStorage and offloading processing to clients is based.

For basic stuff I can use Brave (they have their own indexing and a privacy respecting interface) and for more advanced stuff, I might as well ask AI to do the legwork of doing the dozen or so searches and rely on myself for fact checking and interpretation.<br/><br/>Especially as Google gets worse. It used to be that I would use Brave for the basics and Google for more advanced searches, but while Brave more or less has remained the same Google seems to have only plunged off a cliff. Google&#39;s AI summaries are worse than just about any other AI option (including Brave&#39;s), and it&#39;s actual search results seem to be Reddit or random junk. I legitimately think Bing might be a contender for the best purely search engine, and Brace close behind with a user focused experience (privacy &amp; no hands on the search engine algorithm scale), which should be a good indication of how far Google&#39;s fallen in mind. 2026-08-07T22:22:23Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspnwcu45c4l9u0975utzw2rq9pdq2uq2d6gufl2ghq09easyxmrmczyzgs47g8ph7khmhx8ux542kr2j6a59jddwere8y8dn04ynrjqnnx6uygkt3 GM<br/><br/>Been nearly a month since I had to leave for work before 6, the sun wasn&#39;t up yet like it was last time.

It seems to attract people of similar wavelengths. 2026-07-18T17:40:11Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdcpd3mguqrqm3f0myx2uzjyk7mkeylyhugxy40x6wrnrkwcuszcqzyzgs47g8ph7khmhx8ux542kr2j6a59jddwere8y8dn04ynrjqnnx6usdxu4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqqqqe8kmqemurd36negdykvlzwarz86qfwpa50dsmyele828vrgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj75a7uck'>nevent1q…7uck</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>A post export ability might be neat, archiving all your posts locally in rebroadcastable signed json and possibly also as one big html/pdf/text doc. 2026-07-18T17:31:54Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs09d28hxl842lu5v8sjdx0rwa7vfghnm83ufz0q4lnue02pn2g8hczyzgs47g8ph7khmhx8ux542kr2j6a59jddwere8y8dn04ynrjqnnx6wcm08p A test of #IPFS on #Nostr <br/><br/><a href="https://ipfs-test.shakespeare.wtf/nevent1qgsfzzhequxl66lwucls6j42cd2ttkskf44my0yusakd75jvwgzwvmgqyzwwgq9t082lkax5m8v58jgzsv4fvk0pzc2wt4hm7l796qlfl5ufj4m3erm">https://ipfs-test.shakespeare.wtf/nevent1qgsfzzhequxl66lwucls6j42cd2ttkskf44my0yusakd75jvwgzwvmgqyzwwgq9t082lkax5m8v58jgzsv4fvk0pzc2wt4hm7l796qlfl5ufj4m3erm</a><br/><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qqsfeeqq4duat7m56nvajs7fq2pj49jeuytpfewkl0mlchgra87n3xgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qjy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksxpqqqqqqz9snqng" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…nqng</a></span> </div> IPFS test<br/><br/>ipfs://bafkreibo6nsbqtzegjptjgqbq3kd4tezjv3w4nmnd6wpm4ort4yownjd3e?filename=meme.jpg </blockquote> 2026-07-17T23:25:15Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszrkzl8svhedmpetw0ztv23hc27el0ztj6n5kw6vwjhnuzmzlsvvszyzgs47g8ph7khmhx8ux542kr2j6a59jddwere8y8dn04ynrjqnnx6ln3txn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst5cp7an8c0g0fwesmc3ayfemk6t5qkxtr4tylet8fm5fm852deggpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43z7te9kha'>nevent1q…9kha</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Would this change his mind, or is the ceo of Nostr just going to ban me 😆<br/><br/><a href="https://ipfs-test.shakespeare.wtf/nevent1qgsfzzhequxl66lwucls6j42cd2ttkskf44my0yusakd75jvwgzwvmgqyzwwgq9t082lkax5m8v58jgzsv4fvk0pzc2wt4hm7l796qlfl5ufj4m3erm">https://ipfs-test.shakespeare.wtf/nevent1qgsfzzhequxl66lwucls6j42cd2ttkskf44my0yusakd75jvwgzwvmgqyzwwgq9t082lkax5m8v58jgzsv4fvk0pzc2wt4hm7l796qlfl5ufj4m3erm</a> 2026-07-17T23:13:23Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfeeqq4duat7m56nvajs7fq2pj49jeuytpfewkl0mlchgra87n3xgzyzgs47g8ph7khmhx8ux542kr2j6a59jddwere8y8dn04ynrjqnnx65mxgvx IPFS test<br/><br/>ipfs://bafkreibo6nsbqtzegjptjgqbq3kd4tezjv3w4nmnd6wpm4ort4yownjd3e?filename=meme.jpg 2026-07-17T23:11:49Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2kkz8jawsj7p3yfn2nc4hu2ws707uz9fvmfxs032jl9ljg4az4rczyzgs47g8ph7khmhx8ux542kr2j6a59jddwere8y8dn04ynrjqnnx64q7lf0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdjd2kd9nc6stjl76f6xuxu62jv68c3209tfr27e4kpel6uzygl7cpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43z74kaj20'>nevent1q…aj20</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Nope, haven&#39;t deleted it. 2026-07-17T20:09:55Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqstfeqkf06mecg6xpr9nu8cfq86qelfck8veulpqrezh6ff844auzqzyzgs47g8ph7khmhx8ux542kr2j6a59jddwere8y8dn04ynrjqnnx6rluy83 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx44llpw5cyswjk4hcuv8zzn2ecpq7g9yv99xeruyv5pk7tuv4ptgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43z7ne70e5'>nevent1q…70e5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Makes me curious, I wonder how IPFS would interact with Nostr for larger uploads.
