Let's look back at 2023:

Welcome to Wildebeest: the Fediverse on Cloudflare https://blog.cloudflare.com/welcome-to-wildebeest-the-fedive...

Wildebeest ceased maintenance one month after the article's publication, adding a similar comment several months later[1]:

> :warning: This project has been archived and is no longer actively maintained or supported. Feel free to for this repository, explore the codebase, and adapt it to your needs. Wildebeest was an opportunity to showcase our technology stack's power and versatility and prove how anyone can use Cloudflare to build larger applications that involve multiple systems and complex requirements.

Check NIP-65[1], this is the key to the latest Nostr client's automatic discovery feature.

To improve user experience, Nostr clients typically pre-load several large relays. In fact, Nostr also supports using NIP-19[1] pointers to pass custom relay hints to the client, similar to the tracker in BitTorrent and Magnet. Furthermore, I believe that with Let's Encrypt now offering free and widespread IP certificates, domain dependency issues will be further alleviated on Nostr.

The sheer breadth of Nostr's current development is overwhelming at times. I often find myself exclaiming, "What? Nostr can be used like that?" At present, Nostr appears to be merely a protocol operating within a social media framework. Its capabilities are vast, yet it fundamentally only requires "sending JSON via WebSocket and signing it using the specified algorithm."

The only thing worth complaining about might be that there are too many "crypto bros" :D

Yeah, true. However they are cool and keep the network alive. Very thankful they are there every single day.

The closest opportunity for humanity to achieve "software freedom" may be through a brain-computer interface directly connected to the Linux kernel. /j

I'm currently in China, pondering whether Framework's approach to promoting repairability is feasible locally. I can easily purchase parts for nearly any retail laptop (yes, nearly any) on online shopping sites, sometimes even including the motherboard. Repairing electronic hardware isn't easy for non-professionals, but Framework's parts aren't just "parts" anymore—they're modules designed for easy repair. They clearly aren't manufactured and sold as individual components. This reminds me of LG's modular phones. For a time, their market lifecycle was so short that some of LG's premium modules ended up circulating at prices higher than the devices themselves.

I'm also using Reqable, for those interested check it out: https://reqable.com

Firefox doesn't "help your privacy" and make promises just because it's developed by Mozilla, and Chromium doesn't become worse than Firefox just because it's developed by Google. As others have said, this article feels like it was written in LLM.
