> No wealth, no rule, no silver, no gold, > Nothing satisfies me **but your soul** > (O-Ohh Death, O-Oh Death, O-Ohh Death) > Well I am Death, none can excel > I'll open the door to > Heaven or hell **Remember:** the #Reaperess, a.k.a. the #Death Herself (the one who's slowly approaching you as you read this) does **not** accept #Bitcoin, #Ethereum, #Monero or other cryptocurrencies out there, let alone fiat currencies, #gold, #silver, #gems, real estate, #stocks, yachts, mansions, artificial islands or whatever mundane matter that you pursue so badly trying (in vain) to flee from Her. **SHE WILL take you before you can even think of signing a #Lightning transaction**. As for me, relax, I'm just the boring one who remembers people of their inevitable deaths while I eager for the day when She will finally claim my soul. Because everybody dies. And, no, trans-humanism won't save you (either) from the #cosmic Big Freeze (Heat Death of the Universe due to the laws of #Thermodynamics), sorry about that. Can you hear Her, yet? Pay attention to Her footsteps at each ticking of the clock or, to quote #Roxette with a few adaptations, your own cardiac muscle, shall you got no analog clock anymore: > Listen to your heart > When She's calling for you > Listen to your heart > There's nothing else you can do. > I don't know where you're going > And I don't know why, > But listen to your heart > Before you tell it goodbye. **No matter what you do, you will be reminded again**, lest you pretend you forgot it: life devours death only for Death to devour life. **Remember you will die** (and I will, too, hopefully sooner than later)

Nostr, ActivityPub's fediverse (and Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin/Kbin threadiverse as well), ATproto's fediverse, blogosphere, geminispace, gopherspace, onion network (HSes), I2P network (eepsites)... I've been to all those places, still I haven't been into the feeling of belonging to those places (yes, not even here, in Nostr). I want to know other similar, niche-d digital realms I could try to explore and, perhaps, find a place to maketh my nest and resteth. Any suggestions, anybody?

Second test, this time with something akin to a Xwitter's "blue badge", perhaps to prove (to whom?) there's a person behind this random npub (whether that person is alive or not is a whole other story). I'm not sure which relays to keep. Currently, I'm using 8 relays, which is too much (and I'm not even sure whether they're receiving). Partly it's due to my Fediverse mindset, where activities from Alice are fetched only by instances where there's at least one user currently demanding Alice's outbox, so I used to proceed with an ouroboric autophagia where, for example, my Mastodon identity followed my Sharkey identity so the former pulled new activities from the latter without the need to manually fetch the individual content. AFAIK, Nostr relays pull content among themselves, correct? I'm knowledgeable of things such as cryptographic key pairs (sometimes I use GnuPG) and WebSockets (I'm a programmer), I understand Fediverse's ActivityPub to a certain technical depth, I know the fact that Nostr content is sent to one or more relays with specific "kinds" (such as kind 1 described by NIP-10 for "text notes and threads"), and that's basically all. Yeah, I can read about it somewhere, but I'm used to this flesh-and-bones reasoning where I talk to myself and ask myself only to hopefully be answered by myself and further reinforce this ouroboric autophagia at the ontological level, because humans never really existed, do they? Chances are I'm going to flee eventually, just as I did in the Fediverse, Geminispace and other spaces, because I don't belong anywhere in this specific spacetime continuum... do I? (This text note got 1783 characters, maybe it's not going to make it entirely, or it'll be truncated, I see no setting on Jumble for posting as a NIP-23)

Testing something beyond the Fediverse where I was used to publish things. Nostr isn't exactly new to me, and there's an event lost in time that I published back when I tested this in... I dunno... 2019? Lot has changed (at that time there weren't concepts such as paid relays, required PoW or other shenanigans) so I must test whether this works. I'm particularly interested in NIP-23 (Long form content), but the relays _seem_ to be limited to 1024 (lower than Sharkey and Friendica).
