M3UBox: A Fast, Clean Player for Any M3U Playlist
I built a free, browser-based player for M3U and M3U8 playlists after getting fed up with slow, ad-ridden alternatives. Everything runs in your browser, and there is a radio directory built in.

The real problem with Rock'n'Roll is you—because, you keep listening to garbage.

Why Global Rankings of Nostr Relays Are Fundamentally Wrong
A personal history, a technical explanation, and an unavoidable conclusion.
Cryptographic Entropy, Chi‑Square, and Serial Correlation: What One Key Can Reveal | Understanding Key Entropy, Bias, and Structural Weaknesses in Single‑Key Analysis
Entropy Lab began as a simple playground for randomness analysis — a way to visualize entropy, test key generation, and explore how different sources behave. But over time, it grew into something more ambitious: a tool people rely on to generate cryptographic keys for real‑world protocols like Bitcoin and Nostr. That responsibility demanded a deeper look at how keys were generated, validated, and derived. The result was a full overhaul of Entropy Lab’s cryptographic core. Here’s a breakdown of the major changes and why they matter.
Visualizing the Invisible: The "Vibe" of Entropy
Community education and technical credibility.
The Ghost in the Machine: Why Your Nostr Feed is a Beautiful Lie
We need to talk about the "Relay Paradox" and the invisible math that is slowly re-centralizing our "decentralized" world.
The "Wood Wide Web" of Data
We are looking at a future where our data centers look less like sterile server rooms and more like dark, humid cathedrals. If Musk is building the "Digital Bootloader," the end-state might be a Mycelial Internet. Imagine a planetary-scale intelligence that is physically woven into the earth, self-repairing, and operating at the thermodynamic limit of efficiency. It wouldn't be "artificial" intelligence anymore; it would be Extended Biology. The "machine dummies" are dead because they are separate from the world. The mushroom network is the world.
Rediscovering Freedom in the Nostr Ecosystem: My Latest Tools and Updates
After months of tinkering, refining, and occasionally cursing at my own code, I finally pushed a major update to **nostrwat.ch**—and it feels like a breath of fresh air. For years, using centralized social platforms felt like being wrapped in a full-body cast. Nostr, by contrast, is like stepping outside and realizing you can move again. I’ve been missing these degrees of freedom. This latest round of updates is all about giving users more visibility, more control, and more ways to interact with the network on their own terms.
Nostr Relay Manager: Take Control of Your Connectivity
Are you tired of wondering which of your relays are actually working? Meet **Mend** (Nostr #1 Relays Manager), the lightweight, browser-based manager designed to keep your Nostr profile healthy and connected.
Architecture Evolution, Fixes, and Full Changelog
[Enhanced Tradingview](https://charts.xport.top) started as a lightweight TradingView embed and gradually evolved into a high‑performance, self‑managed charting and market‑analysis platform. The core motivation was simple: remove artificial platform limits (indicators, watchlists, layouts) while retaining TradingView's rendering quality and performance. Over time, this project turned into a practical case study in client‑side performance engineering, CSP hardening, IndexedDB usage, web‑worker offloading, and UX optimizations for large market datasets.
Another advantage to Nostr that will make you leave censored social media.
I have completely switched to Nostr and today am going to share my experience, which may be useful to those of you who want to launch a bot on a social network and encounters censorship.
