What is Nostr?

Nostr itself isn't an app or website, but a protocol.

Think of it as a set of rules that allows different apps to communicate with each other in a decentralized way. It's designed for social networking and focuses on privacy and censorship resistance.

Nostter.app is a website that uses the Nostr protocol. From this website you can create a Nostr identity, post messages, and follow others. Since Nostr is decentralized, there are many other Nostr-based apps available.

Like Primal.net another website using the same protocol (using the same secret key),

What is a protocol? Imagine email. Email itself is a protocol, just like Nostr.

Different email providers like Gmail or Yahoo Mail are like the Nostter.app - they use the email protocol to offer their email services.

Public domain hero spotlight : Octobriana

Who is Octobriana ?

Started as a twisted Czech mystification (with Peter Sadeky), reborn as a UK sensation (linked with David Bowie), labelled as spy, rebellious soul, She-devil ... this is Octobriana!

Octobriana is public domain, which means she's copyright free and everyone can create his own version.
And indeed, you can see Octobriana in all shapes and forms (as adult comic, anime, manga, cartoon, pixel-art, in movies, music clip, video game (or maybe not), ... ) beware though because many of her reinvention should be tagged NSFW.

[フレーム]

Octobriana is a good starting point for comic artists in lack of inspiration for their comics, very much like Jenny Everywhere ; she seems to be unfortunately confined for the underground borderline adult comics - not for the mainstream.

A selection of links for Octobriana

http://www.reddit.com/r/octobriana
http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/octobriana

Beware because Octobriana keeps coming back every now and then, re-emerging from the depth of the underground comics layer of the web. Mysteriously.

e1m3.mp3
e1m4.mp3
e1m5.mp3
e1m6.mp3
e1m7.mp3
e1m8.mp3
e1m9.mp3

And a very informative document by the author Sonic Clang (Brian Kline)
There has been so much talk over the years about how certain songs in Doom were inspired by other artists. Everyone knows “E1M1” was inspired by “No Remorse” from Metallica, and there are others. But what people don’t realize is that there are songs on the radio every single day that either sound like other songs or were inspired by them. People make such a big deal about the Doom songs sounding like a Metallica song, but it really isn’t uncommon at all.
