Dependency hell is hell. Ubuntu is predictably crap, but predictability is worth something.

I hit a networking issue and ain’t nobody got time to troubleshoot networking issues. Was connected cruising along downloading shit. Reboot, and suddenly no more connection. 😞
It’s crap I need for now. Just wanted a quick node setup so I can see what all these degen inscribers are so hyped about. I won’t be inscribing anything, but I am curious to know if I have any “rare or exotic” sats.
I finally got a real node setup a couple months ago with Fulcrum and the latest version of mempool.space and it’s very nice having something that performs so well compared to Umbrel on a Raspberry Pi.
I haven’t looked to see if I have any rare sats, but I did dig into inscriptions enough to figure out how to manually decode them using bitcoin-cli. That was a useful exercise.
That’s where I’m at. I have my Embassy OS for money things and passwords running on a pi. But I wanted a full function server just to check for rare sats to auction off at later dates. Probably will use a beefier setup for my LN node too, but that’ll be embassy OS too.
