I’m a full time dad and husband and member of my local community. The spare time I have to be social online is now spent on Nostr because it’s the type of online future I want for myself and my kids. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t even have time to waste trying to run accounts on other platforms. Life is too precious. It would be time wasted.

It should be working. It gets the env variable and makes that a subdirectory of your gossip dir. Then it starts a new database in the subdirectory. There are a few cases it might print an error (watch for errors at startup) like "cache" (reserved) or anything with a "/" in it or otherwise is not a simple directory name. Make sure the env variable is getting passed to the gossip process either by exporting it from your shell (e.g. export GOSSIP_DIR=blah) or typing it on the same command line as gossip (e.g. GOSSIP_DIR=blah ./target/release/gossip)

Gm again!

According to some 😜

I have a massive admiration of #Artists throughout time. So many Artists have captured and imprinted, at risk of extreme violence, their massive middle finger to the corrupt systems and lack of real empathy. Obviously, that's not all Artists, there are a select few and no doubt many that did and their works were too fragile. I believe that many of them would turn in their graves seeing #Bitcoin and the power you have that they didn't and your lack of embracing the Truth. History repeats, it doesn't just rhyme, against human empathy that's always the crime. #BTC Bitcoin Pure Human Empathy based upon Reality, that's the exchange.

Every disaster an opportunity.

Thw cypherpunk ethos that makes people use nostr instead of twitter is the same ethos that make people endorse Monero over Bitcoin. (love bitcoin but tbh, the dominant culture these days is cucked)
