And about 10% of those are 💜💜💜Haven💜💜💜 instances operated by individual users. Not too bad at all! Thanks to all the Nostriches out there!
I’ve built my fair share of "enterprise" software, moving billions in fiat and petabytes of data. I’ve even built some OSS that I’m proud of, ranging from game decompilations enjoyed by a community of, I don’t know, eight people, to dev tooling packages downloaded millions of times. But I’m especially proud of Haven in all of its "small intenet" glory. Its ~130 stars, several forks, and the hundred or so instances run by users out there.
All credit goes to nostr:nprofile1qqsw9n8heusyq0el9f99tveg7r0rhcu9tznatuekxt764m78ymqu36cpr3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucnfw33k76twwpshy6ewvdhk6tcpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtn4w3ux7tn0dejj7ne6u4e of course, but contributing to Haven, Khatru, and the underlying Nostr ecosystem, hits different. You know, mantaining stuff used by real human beings.
It sorta restored my faith that I can put my skills to good use: help users own and preserve their content, push devs to hack cool things, and basically do my fair share to allow humans to be humans in what’s still left of the old school internet out there.
Thanks, Nostr. Let’s keep building! I’m looking forward to seeing the number of relays (personal or otherwise) keep growing.

Like many things in our Christian life, we can error to multiple extremes. Most people seem to be worried about arguments between Christians. I’ll admit some of them get ugly and that should never happen. On the other hand, we aren’t supposed to just let error continue, but should correct lovingly using Scripture (not our opinions).
“25This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with the baptism of John; 26and he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.” (Hebrews 18":25-26).
When a Jew named Apollos was speaking using the Jewish Scriptures, two godly Christians, Aquila & Priscilla, pulled him aside to explain Jesus to him more accurately. They didn’t try to embarrass him in front of people. They didn’t try to beat him at an argument. They gently pulled him aside and explained the truth to him. By correctly him privately and in a loving manner, he became an amazing preacher that defended the faith boldly and correctly and brought people to Christ.
Ignoring error is as bad as browbeating the mistaken. All believers should be searching for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We shouldn’t be trying to look more righteous or to embarrass those who may be less mature or misled.

I was just reading in my chronological Bible about the crucifixion and saw something I’d never noticed before that started me thinking. John 19:25 says, “ … standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother’s sister, …” Jesus’s aunt was at His crucifixion. The Bible talks about Mary, Joseph, and Jesus’s brothers. It talks about Elizabeth, a more distant relative. I think this is the only mention of anyone from Mary’s home growing up.
Did Mary tell her parents or sister about being visited by and angel and told she would mother the Messiah by the Holy Spirit or did she remain silent because it was so unbelievable? When she became pregnant, did she then try to explain to her family, but get rejected? Was Jesus’s aunt ever around when Jesus was growing up, or was her first appearance due to her feeling bad for her sister who had previously lost her husband and now was loosing her eldest son in the most horrific way?
In the whole scheme of things, these aren’t critical questions, but it still tells us something about what Mary went through having a child out of wedlock, seemingly through sin.
