I would have made far less progress just over the last month had I not spent a year and a half puttering around here.

The push to self host more of my own infrastructure. From obtainium, using Phoenix past its removal from the US app stores (still)

Connecting Sparrow to my electrum server, finally getting my own lightning node spun up, backending Zeus and albyhub, accessing it all over Tor.

Just from reading various notes, replies and reposts of projects being worked on. What I've managed to catch while popping in has helped me more than just searching specifics on Reddit or youtube like I had in the past.

For how bad the search usually works I've stumbled on a lot of helpful other stuffs along the way.
