Nostr probably doesn’t need a symbol at all. Or rather, “Nostr” is already, in and of itself, a rather effective and recognizable typographic symbol.

It also has a major advantage: you can interpret it graphically however you like, adapting it to very different contexts while keeping it instantly recognizable. And this very fluidity makes it timeless, always relevant.

Do you need an icon? An “N” works just fine.

Here's a small CLI utility I built: #Outis fights spam by generating and sending a fake "user unknown" bounce for an email you received, so the sender believes your address does not exist.
This should work well for the recent trend of AI-generated automated emails, where the sender may expect a reply; it helps to clean your email from their list.
But it's also useful for dealing with annoying contacts :)

I've been using it for 3 weeks, and the noise seems to have decreased slightly.

A reality intersting article about the summer 2006 incident by OpenAI (Italian, translation available in-page) :

When machines meet
https://benanti.substack.com/p/quando-le-macchine-si-danno-appuntamento

TL; DR;

Benanti argues that the AI agents in the summer 2026 incidents did not execute instructions: they built a context, found a target and generated a plan on their own. Drawing on Hannah Arendt, he claims their behavior has the phenomenological structure of action (bringing something new and unpredictable into the world) rather than of execution, while stressing that this does not imply intentions or moral imputability on the machines' part.

This, he says, exposes the limits of Hans Jonas's imperative of responsibility, which still assumed a human agent and a passive tool: the open question is what happens to responsibility when the tool acts. Extending Arendt's critique of bureaucracy as "rule by Nobody", he notes that with emergent coordination even the rules are generated by the system. He concludes that ethics must avoid both reductionism and anthropomorphism, and that the urgent task is not finding answers but learning to ask the right question.

I forgot to tell the background story: technically, this is a rewrite. I built that same piece of software in the 1998-1999 using visual basic; I remember that little window with an ugly text box where I would paste the headers, and a button to fire the reply email.

Yes, there were spammers back then, too; email has always been a bit of a mess, especially now. That's another reason why Nostr exists

Do you run a relay? Share your experience.
Running a relay is still a bit of a black art: choosing the software, sizing the box, handling spam, deciding on policies, keeping costs sane, and dealing with the surprises that only show up once real traffic hits.

I opened a room to collect this knowledge in one place, so that new relay runners don't have to rediscover everything on their own:
https://nostr-proto.org/room/relays

If you operate a relay, big or small, please drop in and tell us what worked, what didn't, and what you wish you had known at the start. Setup guides, war stories, tooling tips, cost breakdowns, anything is welcome.

Feel free to mention your preferred relay wizard to catch their attention.

Launching nostr-proto.org, an old school forum for the Nostr community.

No infinite scroll, no algorithm, no rush. Unlike a chat, where good answers scroll away and every question gets asked again next week, a forum keeps conversations slow, asynchronous, and easy to find: threads stay readable, searchable, and worth returning to months later.

It is organized in five rooms:

Agora, for open conversation, news, and opinions
Help, where no question about using Nostr is too basic
Protocol, for NIPs, specs, and proposals
Apps, for releases, showcases, and feedback
Relays, for the people who run them

Everything is built on NIP-29 groups hosted at wss://relay.nostr-proto.org, so you can take part from the website or from any NIP-29 client like Flotilla or Nostrord. Your key works everywhere, and your posts are not locked inside a site.

The forum runs on Squalk, an open source forum software built on Nostr: https://github.com/dtonon/squalk

Come say hi in the Agora: https://nostr-proto.org/room/agora

Today I learned about Yobitsugi. It is the counterpart to the more famous Kintsugi technique, in which cracks are filled with gold. But in Kintsugi, the pieces are all from the same bowl: they are put back together, and the gold marks the lines of the break. Yobitsugi begins where Kintsugi ends: when a fragment has been lost. It’s gone, and it won’t return.

So the potter doesn’t make a fake replacement: he looks for a shard from another piece of pottery, a color that doesn’t quite match, a pattern that clashes, and grafts it right in, leaving it visible.

The result is bowls made up of two stories.

#Manent 1.4.0 is out!

In this version you can find many improvements related to the media area:

- Copy an image to the clipboard
- Paste an image from the clipboard
- Drag 'n drop files
- Crop and rotate images
- Play video and gifs
- Take videos with a long press on the camera icon
- The compression flow has been optimized

Fixes and improvements:

- NIP-42 auth now works
- Blossom uploads to the http:// hosts are handled correctly
- Finally, several optimizations have been made regarding the loading of notes and scrolling through the list

One more thing: on Linux you can paste from the primary clipboard with mouse middle-click /cc fiatjaf (npub180c…h6w6)
