An article about how great the The Smol Internet is that is published on Substack is rather ironic

There was a song on the radio where I thought, hey that sounds like Placebo and my wife said, ok, that sounds very much like Placebo, but the band is called Alpinestars. Turns out it is Alpinestars featuring Brian Molko

my laptop camera is in the case the wrong way around so that each video tool has an upside down pic and most apps do not support flipping the image
it worked on Windows 7 with a custom driver from ASUS but that was replaced by the one from Microsoft with the Win10 update and since then it is upside down

Ok, looks like the #nostr domain verification requires the key to be in hex format and in npub, it would be helpful if that were mentioned in the docs with an example

Now I forgot what I wanted to write about because I wrote about something else

Still trying to get domain verification right on nostr, given that I do not plan to use that for real, it is mostly about getting it right out of principle

just mistyped mastodon.social with a missing character and got to a etsy page with "ads", so typo domains are still a thing
Looks like Firefox Suggest is not using Levenshtein but uses substrings to search
