GM Nostr. What are we building today?
I bought a book about concurrent programming in Go… and quickly realised that after over a year of doing bits and bobs with the language, I still don't know much of the language syntax, standard library, idioms, toolinf and surrounding ecosystem. So, back to "A Tour of Go" I go.
https://go.dev/tour
This time, I’m doing the whole thing end to end and writing unit tests for every example. Then maybe I’ll revisit Advent of Code and try solving a few exercises in more idiomatic Go. After that, I’ll try my luck again with more advanced concurrent programming concepts.
Masters are eternal apprentices. It’s tempting to “learn just enough to get things done” and self-label as an expert based on previous experience with similar tools. That’s a huge mistake. If you don’t keep your ego in check and go back to basics, you become part of the problem.
So, I invite you all to learn a bit of Go with me. I can guarantee you: fixing and building stuff you care about is immensely more satisfying than chasing after devs. For folks running Khatru, go-nostr, etc-based tech (or thinking of customising and building around it) being able to do things yourself is the ultimate freedom.
It’s not that hard, and it’s never too late to learn! A bunch of folks who don’t identify as devs have contributed interesting stuff and built jaw-dropping things. I’ve reviewed and merged some of their PRs myself. So, why not?

GA Nostr. I wonder what the eventual implications of this are for folks running personal relays like HAVEN.
I mean, I run a pretty clean and heavily moderated set of relays myself… No porn, self-harm content or anything of the sort.
One good thing about Nostr is that nobody has ever tagged me in any such content on Nostr (For those who say I’m unfair to Nostr: this has happened to me on the Fediverse… once… but still, it didn). If I were ever tagged by someone posting that kind of material, they'd be booted from my WoT pronto, and their content would of course be deleted from my relays.
Still, the question remains: do I need to implement any form of age checking right now? And even if not, if the UK government (or any other) decides that personal relays need to enforce age verification, what should we actually do?
Only the owner of the relay can write to the Outbox relay, so that should be fine (I think? Right?). Just don’t post stupid stuff. But what about the Inbox? How do we “age check” a bunch of bots and maybe a couple dozen people, most of whom are using pseudonyms and, let’s be honest, are unlikely to cooperate? Should I just give users a flag to disable the Inbox relay?
I have absolutely no idea what to do, or even whether this affects personal relays at all.
