antiparasitic technologist and communition engineer nip-42 + nip-65 = fully decentralized nostr if you want to chat with me, use coracle, and add wss://mleku.realy.lol to your relays list, and make sure it is set to use it as an inbox... if you are not a spammer i will follow you and you can use the relay as a read/write relay as well i am working on a legit IRC inspired nostr protocol scheme and client, and yeah, please either zap me or proffer me some sats via Geyser: https://geyser.fund/project/realy

i just wrote some code that gathers all of the relay lists (including DM relay lists) of all my follows and there was 1047 distinct relays, but lots of duplicates with some having `/` at the end so i wrote a thing to trim those off as well oh God and then it encounters ones that have got embedded whitespace in them after the damn >_< ws prefix *sigh* how does this shit get in there, client devs, are you seriously that retarded? continuing... removing the ones with ? in them (mostly nostr wine) and ... finally 797 relays just in the list of people on my test relay, which i probably fed data from nostrudel database so it gathered most people's relay lists because it supports nip-65 anyway, that's just a sample of about 10k users, at max two hamming distance from me in the graph i would guess i'm gonna find that once it grabs all the relevant relay events from all of those of the remaining users whose relay events i don't already have, it will be more like 1500 relays what was that about centralization i was hearing 6 months ago or so, people complaining about nostr centralizing, yeah, nope

they bee a bit confused these days with the magnetism shifting around so much, it's gonna be hard to watch it happen

yeah, there was terrestrial time signals at one time too, but most of the stations shut down a decade ago sadly

you don't have to, it just turns on like once a day for 2 minutes and resets your system's real time clock even the lowest quality quartz oscillators are accurate enough to not slip more than a few seconds out of sync, plus keep in mind that the actual day varies itself... and interestingly, recetnly the day has been getting shorter than 24 hours, for about 10 years now it has been getting faster (it's because of a very large scale magnetic polarity shift in process)

it's bad enough just dealing with california from here and I'm literally at UTC+1

sorry, that was WEST, which is portugal, spain, UK time zone we literally are 6 minutes into the next hour by the longitude, even in winter our clocks are 1 hour 6 minutes different from the sun position, it's completely benanas, i'm glad i can fix this on my computer at least... my phone, that's a different story, i have to fiddle with it and i don't look at it anyway so whatever... i also now have a UTC clock showing on my desktop so when i am coordinating with my coworkers i can nag them to get a UTC clock display then we can easily compare times and get a suitable schedule overlap the CTO at my company now is looking into ensuring that everyone has their time zone and work periods mapped out so it should be a lot better for meeting times next year... and seriously, there is no way to have a meeting with europe and america and asia all at times where someone isn't outside of daylight hours, it should be a thing, to only hire people for a role where they are within either EU/americas or EU/asia or americas/asia and never the twain should meet

#TIL today i learned that android 13 has a clock setting feature that allows you to use GPS to get the time wow, about time GPS signals are literally clocks

i just made my own custom timezone for linux... I gave it the code MAD and it's UTC+1:06:08 yes, you can do this, it took some time to push it across to be recognised by all of my system, to be honest i dunno if it will get clobbered next time zoneinfo gets updated but whatever now, when my clock says 12:00 the sun will be precisely at its highest point in the day this is what inspired me to engage in this lunacy (btw yes my system clock is set to UTC so it's only what it prints on the screen, and unix time values are identical) was this article https://www.zerohedge.com/political/yes-abolish-daylight-saving-time trump actually suggested abolishing DST i would like to see the abolition of "railway time" in favor of a universal use of UTC as a "scheduling time" and everyone's clock display shows them the offset from that and the UTC time in smaller text or as a tooltip so, now i know precisely how far away from the middle of the day is 12:00 WST now... 2 hours and 6 minutes and 8 seconds it's complete lunacy living by this as your 9-5 schedule here in september, the sun literally is not rising until almost 9am, the real time at that point is actually 7am it may be why they are so crazy on this island... doing everything 2 hours earlier than the sun is a pretty drastic disjoint with biological rhythms

anyone who i can't have a reasonable conversation about them proposing a fucking addressing scheme who doesn't understand the actual basis of the thing tehy are proposing to map their address scheme needs to fucking go do some fucking reading git is a filesystem file fucking system same as ssh git paths makes me seriously wonder about how much time they have spent trying to do these things because i didn't actually spend that much time on it and i grasped that part lol

PSA: the notation `user@address` originated with unix filesystem protocols and remaps to whatever the `passwd` file says the `user` has as their `home folder` - typically `/home/user` it is always, and has always been a shorthand representation to indicate a remapping to a filesystem path furthermore Git is a FILESYSTEM protocol, it defines a filesystem structure for storing a tree structured graph of changes to a filesystem, including branches, commits (specific states) and any "git path" has to be REMAPPED to a filesystem path in some way and originally, HTTP was Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, and the first HTTP servers were just serving up static files and it was also using the same fucking convention, where if there was a `user@address/path` like with scp this `user` has a specific path resolution that goes before the path part the kids these days don't understand these fundamentals of computer address encodings being tied to filesystem paths, it's mind blowing to me but i was using unix when the technology was barely 15 years old, and they invented http routers and idk still how it's not understood when the only easy way to do Git commits is using a FUCKING SSH path that looks like, you know, this: `user@address:/path.git` really, are you not actually reading the words on your screen? i totally want to scream at how retarded the kids are these days corporate culture has completely detached computer software developers from the roots of the operating system's architecture

it's just a variant of what is done with SSH the reason why i'm needling about the remapping is because i know this, and i know how http lets you remap to whatever, but leaving out stipulations in specifications leads to interop problems and you simply don't want that, idk how this is hard for you to understand implicit things are fine in idiom so long as you can easily find them explicated too often, they are not, and you have to dig around, read thousands of words that are not telling you the important point until you get to some fucking footnote that finally makes it clear just please don't do that, make it simple, it's simple, why complicate it? the @ syntax is good for people but it's weird for http servers

yeah, i could talk to you about the history of fallen angels sailing across the atlantic wowing your ancestors with fancy pulse rifles and demanding human sacrifice and you can read about the weird practices of trying to squash down baby's heads to conform to the "royal" skull shapes of these pulse rifle weilding PALE SKINNED sumbiches from north africa who created this sick culture not just there but they went all across the world, actually, to asia and up into all parts of europe as well corruption is just a vulnerability of all life, ensuring the fidelity of the protocol is something that humans can get lazy about and then before they know it they are slaves, and most of them don't even realise they are slaves

the git-http protocol is simply a http file protocol, it uses paths, natively

don't just submit to the stupidity of arbitrary nonsense recommend... in RFCs they use the SHOULD verb a lot for this case, meaning this is preferred because it maes implementation more clear and differences in implementation should be avoided if possible, because they lead to remapping errors, so define a standard mapping, and you will have no problems with people who want to use apache vs nginx or their own homespun golang or C http server
