131: The Value of Community

🎯 help you bring ideas into reality That's one thing I've struggled with, I've got lots of good ideas but I need assistance and assistants 🤭 to help me move forward to completion

What I would like to see more Nostr apps doing is hiding the fact that they are Nostr apps. Just obscure it away so normal people think it's a normal app, and not a power app. And let the features and usability make them a fan without them realizing it

Custom scripts for everybody! 🥳🥳

Ya there's definitely nothing wrong with waiting. 6 to 12 months from now it will be much more capable, and in order of magnitude easier to set up

I've been setting up mine to automatically log conversations. I've been feeding it all of my notes and business ideas. Everything gets automatically cataloged into obsidian. That obsidian vault is included in the QMD database for vector memory search. My agents have excellent short and long-term memory with minimal token usage. To set it up right, you really need to spend quite a while setting it up - or buy the files from somewhere. I've been setting up going on 3 weeks. It has already made me more productive. Soon my calendar will be synchronized. Client leads with automatically be filtered and surfaced front and center to me. The more you use something like this, the more you will start to understand how you can compound little abilities on top of each other. One cron job can trigger a cascade of events and work. I have used simplistic bots for many years. I used to have one that would pay my child support for me. That ran with no issues for about 5 years before they updated the site and broke my bot. I used to use another one for automatically populating descriptions and titles for an online store. At that time, I was replacing an employee with a simple bot. These things have been providing real value for people, for longer than people assume. Again it all comes down to how you use it and what you're doing with it. 6 to 12 months from now the landscape will be much different. Right now it's very hard to set up correctly and easy to burn money if you don't know what you're doing. But soon a lot of these things will be ironed out and much more normal people will be able to get higher value from it. On top of that, every time the models get better or cheaper, that means you can also upgrade your system to be smarter or cheaper.

I don't know who's spending $1,000 but you doing it wrong. I spent $15 in the past 3 weeks with more usage than I've ever had. It all depends on the model. But If they are also using it to do scraping and analyzing, it's not exactly simple work. And if you compare that to a human being doing the same work - that $1,000 is probably much cheaper than a human spending the time manually scraping and analyzing. I think I saw a graph recently saying that Claude opus outputs - in one prompt - between 5 and 15 hours of human work. Obviously that's not on every prompt, but that's pretty substantial even if it's expensive at a 30 cent API call, then maybe it's an extremely good deal. It's all very relative to what you're using it for and what your accomplishing in the end. Some of us have been playing with AI models for years already so we already know how to prompt better and we get better results. You've got to keep playing with different models - talk to them in different ways - and be explicit, try to remove ambiguity. And if you're having problems writing prompts - ask one AI to write a prompt for you to give to the other.. and that will often increase your chance of a one shot successful prompt

Ente is "en tay" ✔️

Top notch recommendations all around

I recently verified a sock puppet Google account using Jmp too. They are an excellent anonymous Google Voice/esim/sms alternative

Cheogram aka https://Jmp.chat Gajim on Windows too It's basically a complete alternative to Google voice and how that works. I have been using it for years at this point and it's excellent

Flair espresso maker is a manual plastic free(in brewing chamber, not overall) and sub $400 option. Great shots and durable af

Need that Vegas event to happen again this year

👍🏻👍🏻🫡

Raspberry Pis are little pieces of shit, but they are fantastic for some use cases. I have some that have been running for many years consistently with no problems. It really depends on what you're trying to do with it. For always on, lightweight servers, they are fantastic. I think I currently have six that are on in another six that are currently powered off

I really like the format of this show and how it is listener-driven. Tons of great information in these shows. Zigbee is something I need to look into more. Home Assistant has been on my automation to do list for a while. One of these years I'll get around to playing with it LOL

This podcast was awesome. Tidwell is a perfect example of people calmly and thoughtfully explaining a view that people don’t like getting zero engagement. Sad. Even on Nostr the ragebait gets the clicks. Well worth the listen.

Yes, we want forks🍴🍴🍴

Gents! I’ve been running NixOS as a server for a year now, really keen to get started with flakes in NixOS, but struggling to get started - any pointers? NixOS on the media PC has been amazing! Meshtasic devices rocked up on Friday, but I didn’t make it to the post office in time, have to wait until Monday now! *sigh*

Oh I didn't realize it was going to be the weekend of Oct. 13th so yeah it not going to work out. Oh well... 😅 Still excited to hear Jeff on the show either way!

In response to last week's baller boost with Hank, there's also a another Linux conference coming up for Seattle called SeaGL, happening next month on November 8th and 9th over at the Washington State University. I would love to hear you guys cover it as well. https://seagl.org/ Also, this is another boost to get Producer Jeff up there. I really want to drive over there as well, but would need a couch to crash on since it would be a tight budget. Or we could just camp in that "backyard" the studio has. 😝 Like always love listening to you guys and as the Podfather says. Go Podcasting!

Yes! Oh yes about the meshtastic! Here's my help with getting Jeff up there to talk and experiment more with it. When I get the chance to stack more sats I will send more your way!

Would love to learn more about mesh tastic

Lads, I just made the switch to NixOS GNOME for the media PC from Windows. Changed/added about three lines in the config and bam! working. Spousal approval 10/10 too, which of course is all that matters. Pretty happy with the performance on the old AMD Phenom II X6 - boots up fast and seems to handle all media types at 4K. The 5.1 surround sound analogue output and Bluetooth for the mouse even worked out of the box! Thumbs up on the map work last week, Bakers Hill, Western Australia was correct for 6562. Think I have the username set correct now in fountain? Jupiter Broadcasting shows are revitalising my interest in Linux and self hosting, thanks team really appreciate it. Cheers, Retro Gear.

Team Toronto (matrix) + support for health insurance and time off!

To clarify, LOAF = Freesco. All this talk about low power’s got me thinking I need a new server. The Dell T630 with dual E5-2650v4 is a little hungry! Maybe a Ryzen box - thoughts?

Hey you mob. I know I’m a few weeks late, but my first Linux was LOAF. Running on a Pentium 90 with a dialup modem as my firewall/gateway! Challenge you to setup LOAF now - put that USB floppy drive to use. Not in IT myself, career went another way, but still love playing with Linux. BTW, thanks for getting me hooked on NixOS! Love the show. Cheers from Aus - PS post code may not be on map (here be dragons!)

Love ya!

Oh and sound bites, have any of you seen Spies Like Us with Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd from 1985. Full of absolute crackers! Check it out if you haven’t!

Gents! GitHub:SaumonNet/proxmox-nixos actually works pretty well. I’m running a few VMs on there that can’t be done with modules or docker containers. Cheers

I will make a correction - bitchat was mentioned. I overheard somebody asking somebody else if they want to try it. It sounded like a group of two or three people were going to try it at Lake Satoshi

Rev.Hodl da man, we need more people like him 🧨🧨🧨

Ok I didn't realize the front end of OwnTracks will work in conjunction. That is pretty cool 🧨

Dawarich is brand new and for iOS only? Solid pass. Use OwnTracks for self-hosted location tracking.

Phoenix was always still usable in the USA, using the APK, no VPN needed It was only removed from the Google app store in the United states. It was still available in Aurora, Github, Obtainium

Real rich listening to NVK complain about using the state when he's the fagot who attacks people in the community with bullshit trademark infringements. That's why I bought a BTClock yesterday. Everybody should buy a BTClock. Fuck NVK in his slobbery stuttering mouth

Pro trip, when using NFC to broadcast your transactions, open up Tor browser first, then broadcast and it will use Tor browser to broadcast your transaction over Tor
