i ran umbrel for 3.5 years on a raspberry pi. i upgraded about a year and a half ago to a fully custom built node. all built from source. lots of bitcoin and lighting apps.

YakBak now supports Blossom mirroring!
Not only will YakBak upload your voice messages to your default Blossom servers, it will also retrieve this automatically from your mirrors if the default blob disappears, is down, gets deleted, censored, etc. This is HUGE.

Dearest @nprofile…7jew,
Thanks for creating the Cursor (and other LLM) rules file for Nostr. That is immensely helpful when building/vibing Nostr apps.
Love,
Derek 🫂💜🤙🏻
P.S. I started out trying to use Stacks but abandoned Goose/Dork and used Cursor with the rules you created instead.

Maybe it's cache? Delete it. I created a brand new nsec and uploaded just fine for a new message and a new reply. Brand new Incognito session. It could be another bug, however I just don't see it.

🚀 Introducing YakBak – The Voice of Nostr: Yak and reply Bak!
This is a new experimental app, built via "Advanced Prototyping".
🎙️ What it does:
Record voice messages up to 60 seconds and post them publicly.
Your messages are automatically uploaded to your default Blossom server or to blossom.band if none is set.
React to voice messages you enjoy.
Reply to others with your own 60-second voice messages.
Zap messages by adding @nprofile…uuxc in Settings.
Delete your voice message events any time. (Still working on full audio deletion via Blossom /DELETE endpoint – help welcome!)
🎧 Whether you're sharing a quick thought, vibing with your feed, or just saying GM with your voice, YakBak lets your voice be heard on Nostr.
Try it out now:
👉 https://yakbak-orcin.vercel.app (YakBak.app coming soon.)
More features (like selecting your Blossom server, audio deletes) are on the way. Feedback, bug reports, and PRs always welcome!

Reminder: I won't be making a new npub anytime soon and if I do, it will have a validated nostr address of derekross@grownostr.org just like my current one. Most importantly, I won't be DMing you out of the blue to talk about investments or cryptocurrency. I'm Bitcoin only. If it sounds scammy, it most likely is a scam.
