F*ck IP's

So here's the thought experiment: Can the internet work without IP addresses...?

Organic Tech

Hiking a trail taught me more about building systems than any screen ever will. In nature, everything follows a flow. It is time we let technology move with that rhythm too.

My week (24) in review

Protocol updates! In the past months we've learned so much about the gotcha's and other improvements we could make to make the TollGate protocol more usable... It was time to sit down and properly document these changes and simplify the documents a bit in the process as well.

My week (6) in review - Sats 'n Facts

There's nothing like the ability of a Nostr/Bitcoin meetup to bring your bullish-ness back to a 120%. This weekend I had the honors to be part of the Sats 'n Facts (un)conference so this update will be mostly about the conference.

Introducing Epoxy, Monetizable WebSocket proxies

What if there is no line, no boundary between tor and clearnet (the 'normal' web)? What if a Damus user on iPhone can talk to their friend's private TOR relay? Let's find out together what can happen by using this new tool which I call Nostr Epoxy! And it's scalable, too!

💭 Trust me, I'm a DVM - Chaining DVM's for Nostr CI/CD pipelines

CI/CD pipelines are great tools for the development cycle of an application, however, they're also very much centralized on platforms like GitHub and GitLab. In this blog I'm exploring the idea of decentralizing these tools using Nostr. But first, let's explore the problem itself

🌄 Chasing the midnight sun in Norway

Moving into Norway the nice, almost-alpine landscapes greeted me. Slowly however the mountains numbed down and fjords started appearing. I was nearing Trondheim, the most northern city in Norway that has something that resembles a high-way. Anything further north and you’re bound to 80km/h roads.

A relaxed tour along Bessegen ridge – Jotunheimen, Norway

After a small detour I entered the Jotunheimen National Park area and decided I would walk the Bessegen Ridge, A famous -you guessed it- ridge hike that runs all the way along a large lake.
