NetNewsWire has been working out pretty well as my primary news source over the last couple days. I’m kind of grossed out by just how much I relied on Twitter in that role over the last several years.

We got enough snow overnight that I was able to get in an afternoon sled with the kids today. Got a real workout climbing the hill we go to though! Had no problem closing the 30 minute exercise ring on my watch.

I have to hand it to our local Waste Management, replacing the garbage bin they accidentally cracked last week was a painless process. I contacted them via web chat after I discovered it, they scheduled for today, and delivered the replacement immediately after picking up this week’s garbage.

In-reply-to » @axodys I tried Iris, yes. Is OK. I proved to myself that Nostr will not work with just my own relay. Even if the latency is 1ms, all the clients will crawl to a stop with only my relay. It seems it is meant to use many relays, which I don’t like.

@bender@twtxt.net Interesting that it performed so poorly when your tried your own relay. How many clients were accessing it at once? Overall I’m definitely not sold on it yet, while I do like fiddling around with new protocol stuff I am also very wary of the crypto-libertarian ethos that is driving the Nostr project.

Figured out a few more things with Damus/Nostr today. Set up Lightning payments and did a 21 sat microtransaction. Successfully authenticated my ID with my own domain. Started finding interesting people to connect with and branching out from their followers. Also tried out Iris in the web browser.

Damus is an interesting app, but adoption and discovery are big issues right now. Crypto-dross is dominating the global timeline and nothing about the available content is going to be remotely appealing to a typical social media consumer.

Damus is pretty interesting, but the global feed is already quite the hellscape. I have yet to see anyone that I know from other forms of social media and signal to noise is quite low so far.

Twitter broke third party app access today. So no more catching up on my feed to see what’s going on there when I wake up. I’m definitely ready to shift over to Ivory and Mastodon once it’s out.

Survived my last minute errands drive into town today. Had to pull over a couple minutes into the drive to scrape the ice off because my windshield wipers and defrost couldn’t keep up with the freezing rain at first. Rest of the trip was uneventful and thankfully traffic was lighter than usual.

Busy day with the family! Entertained the cousins for a while in the middle of the day and we’ve still got to prep for tomorrow’s Christmas Eve gathering with most of my wife’s side of the family.

With Twitter getting more hellish by the day, I’ve been tracking down more people I want to keep following on Mastodon or via rss to twtxt feeds. Yarn.social continues to be great and octobloc.xyz will remain my primary point of microblogging.

The gutter ice dam drip woes continue.🙄

Snowed a little this morning so I worked on the driveway and then got out the ladder to figure out why water was dripping down between the fascia and the gutter above our front porch and recreating the problem I thought I’d fixed on Monday. There was significant ice buildup on the roof above the gutter and along the edge, but the gutter itself was nowhere near full or frozen solid again. I removed a bunch of slush, but I’m going to need to spend more time on the gutter tonight after work as it also doesn’t seem to be draining at the downspout currently. Very irritating.

Big snow day. I think we’re approaching 12” in our neighborhood now. I shoveled our driveway twice already and actually broke out the snowblower to clear part of the street by the curb and our mailboxes. It works great when the snow is powdery, but clogs up fast with wetter snow like we’re getting now.

Another snowy late November day and it looks like we’re going to be getting at least a little snowfall almost every day this week. Don’t think there’s any danger of not having a white Christmas this year.

New glasses have arrived and they’re an improvement for general distance, but maybe not computer screen reading distance (which I need way more of the time). We’ll see how they settle in.

Had my first eye exam in forever last night and ordered some new glasses now that I have an updated prescription. I went with frames that are pretty similar to what I already use, but image mockup technology has improved a lot since the last time I ordered so I amused my kids with pictures of myself with wild frames first.

In-reply-to » @axodys Hmmm? Like this? 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m a bit confused about how the two different reply icon buttons behave. The speech bubble with a plus doesn’t supply a post id tag to the edit field at all, while the double speech (conversation?) icon supplies the id tag of the post you’re replying to rather than the original root. Shouldn’t both options supply some kind of id tag to the edit field?

I’m really happy with how well octobloc.xyz has been working out so far. Yarn.social’s feed (persona) functionality is probably my single favorite feature because it lets me do topical microblogging.
