Do you have any concrete examples of what type of tech you have in mind that shares human values?
This is crushing all of the parsers, except those that are purely Asciidoc. π Need to work on them, some more.
Just look at the raw Asciidoc source.
This is the #bookstr macro I want to use for publishing all of the Great Works, so anyone interested should scream at me, now. (Or don't, and scream at me, later, as I am always around. π)
I've been working on it, for months, by attempting to publish different `30040` structures and see how I would best-address the individual parts. Also, I've been reading a lot of citation pattern documentation. That's how I came to the conclusion to make one generic book macro, rather than something #Bible specific.
#christian #catholic #biblestr
The #bookstr π macro is hierarchical. If you find a section or verse event, in the wild, you can just drop the section tags, to find the whole chapter, or the section and chapter tags, to find the whole book. This means you can always backtrack to the entire publication, from just one quoted line or paragraph.
We are going to be having these tags in all of our publications, so you will be able to "Bible-search" and "Bible-cite" any of our books!
I love books. Name checks out. π
Some things:
1. *You have to scroll-right on mobile.* Unlike Jumble and Alexandria, Wikistr is an unapologetic desktop-focused app, and that's why it's cool. If you have a wide screen, you can open up lots of panels, and make some wider, and it turns into the document version of a Bloomberg terminal. Credit for this design goes to @npub180cv...h6w6.
2. The different Wikistr themes have different looks, help text, and *different relays*, for the document search and the social interactions. #Quranstr uses Nostrabia, for instance, whilst #Biblestr focuses on Christpill. The basic #Wikistr has been left secular. I am looking for a Jewish relay, but haven't yet found one, so #Torahstr uses generic ones.
3. All have light and *dark themes*. The light themes are so much prettier, but I know you will all use the dark ones.
4. All themes take *your personal relay list* into account, and share a few document relays, so you can just pick the theme you like and use that.
5. *We printed the Bible first because Gutenberg did* and he's the inspiration for our Nostr printing press. We will proceed to print all other open-license books we can find, including the Torah, Quran, classical authors, English literature, etc. They will all be searchable, with this mechanism.
6. This wikistr *can find and render kinds 300023, 30041, 30817, 30818, 30040*, and the comments are kind 1111 and you can vote at the top of the panels, using the up/down arrow buttons. Only kinds 30817/818 are in the left-most panel feed, to keep it uncluttered and true to the origins.
The hyperlinks mentioned are:

Images require a leading "!".
These never really took off because we have kind 30023.
Nobody cares, if a microblog has a typo.
It's worth noting that Psalm 42 is prayed by the priest and altar servers at the beginning of every Catholic Mass celebrated according to the old form (1962 and previous).
In Germany, they use Psalm 124.
P: Unsere Hilfe ist im Namen des Herrn.
M: Der Himmel und Erde erschaffen hat.
[[book::bible | Psalms 124:8 | DRB]]
Oh, wow. I was this many days old, when I found out that the DRB doesn't have that verse.
[[book:: bible | Psalm 124:8 | KJV]]
Is it maybe in Psalm 123 or 125. The Douay has an off-by-one thing going on with some of the Psalm numbers. That translation combines two of the early psalms that are separated in other translations.
Is this on a public repo yet? I'd love to take a peek at the code.
This is actually an expanded version of a previous post. There's still plenty of room for more expansion. Can add a bit, every year.
I need to add the RauhnΓ€chte and St. Stephan's Day. And lots of other stuff.
Good morning Nostr!
Time to go about our days π

Venezuela Just Proved the Bitcoin Bull Case, And No One Is Paying Attention
Maduro used Tether to move 80% of Venezuela's oil revenue. Billions in sanctions evasion, settled on Tron since 2020.
Then the US made a phone call.
Tether froze the wallets.
Game over.
Everyone's focused on the arrest. The real story is the lesson every finance minister on earth just learned in real time:
Stable coins are a leash, not an escape.
If someone can freeze it, it isn't money. It doesn't solve sovereignty.
First principles:
USDT is dollar plumbing without SWIFT. Faster. Cheaper. Still has a CEO. Still has a compliance department. Still picks up when Washington calls.
This is why USDT adoption exploded, 71-year-old grandmothers in Caracas pay their HOA fees in tether now. But useful β sovereign.
The entire value proposition for sanctions evasion just got publicly falsified.
Now do the game theory:
You're Iran. Russia. Any country hedging against dollar weaponization. You just watched Venezuela's "crypto solution" get shut off like a light switch.
Where do you put reserves now?
USDT? Compromised.
Yuan? Political strings.
Gold? Try settling $500M across borders in 10 minutes.
CBDCs? Same kill switch, government branding.
There's exactly one asset that clears final settlement without asking permission from anyone.
21 million units. No CEO. No freeze function. No phone number.
This is the ad Bitcoin never had to buy.
The most desperate, highest-stakes capital on earth just learned there's only one door.
Price doesn't reflect it yet.
It will.

AO you got the snow back...
Yep! Woke up to it yesterday morning. Then it kept snowing all day. I love snow globe season!
On Jan. 12, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump urged credit card issuers to cap interest rates at 10% for one year and warned they would be breaking the law if they did not comply with his call. The announcement late last week prompted a drop in bank shares.
Trumpβs request targets annual percentage rates on credit cards, proposing a temporary 10% ceiling for a oneβyear period. The president framed the appeal as a legal imperative for issuers who fail to follow the cap. Markets reacted quickly, with bank stocks falling on the development.
The move represents direct political pressure on card issuers and has produced immediate market fallout, although no new legislation has been cited in the report. #DonaldTrump #creditcards #bankstocks #FiatNews
Natural instinct and the little voice in your head telling you something, these are subtle defense mechanisms. Over the years i've come to learn that i should trust those over anything external, so i try to always listen. #NaturalInstinct #Listen
