“Just run an ln node. Rebalancing is easy”

I've wasted so many sats on lightning bullshit.

Force closures, high fee environment

"The node is in the phone" everyone cheers 🎉

"GFY force closed lol 😂" crickets 🦗

Yeah I remember when mutiny and Zeus were competing for customers. 🤣

10k sats for a channel that's open for a week. What a deal 🤷‍♂️

“Hi, my channel closed. Can you open another one?

Sure, that’ll be 10k sats”

So glad I didn't fuck around with pleb sized channels and node on the phone 😎

Lightning nodes are like the bankers of the Bitcoin future. I'll open accounts with the most reputable and stable ones and I won't try to be a banker myself.

Yes I'm ok with custodial for lightning, it's a change purse. Then off to liquid until big enough for a utxo. The right tool for the right job or something.

Not even I would run Arch. Linux Mint ftw

Yes, Debian Maxi here. Currently investigating Devuan for a less wokie infested experience.

Debian for headless servers is what I do. Or Ubuntu.

I haven't heard for devuan, but I have heard of the woke takeovers 😬

Debian fork without systemd and a non-woke community.

No systemd? I've just learned how to use it and the whole podman/quadlet thing 😦

What's the alternative?

Sysvinit as it always was.

Was there some shit that went down surrounding systemd? I'm wholly ignorant of all this drama.

Some don't like systemd for the way it is an all in one thing that infects the entire system. I'm indifferent, I can use it or not.

I just found nosystemd.org I guess it's very invasive and insecure according to some. And imo the more pervasive software is, the more imperative it is for evil folk to take over the codebase.

Sounds like me writing my own core Nostr protocol libraries right now so I don't get all caught up in these over bloated libraries people are pushing out. I'm about done with all the event specs.

Haha, yeah just came across that too.

I also use MX Linux on some machines, which is systemd optional. No guarantees on non wokeness there though 😂

Unfortunately for us neckbeard arch users omarchy has removed the normie barrier we had for installing arch. Running isn’t the flex it used to be. Gotta move on to using nix os now I guess—omarchy is really nice tho btw
