Oh well, my Alby Hub is down because their cloud is probably down.
This means my *only sending zaps* mode is taking an unforeseen hiatus today until nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcyq5fje decides to fix their cloud.
Run your own node woman
If this persists, I have more reason to.
Get a cheap old mini PC, whack #Start9 on it and bang. I have two, one for Bitcoin, the other as my personal cloud
Is Start9 better than Umbrel?
There are trade offs, but both are great. Their OSs are free to download and easy to play with if you want to try both. I forget if umbrel does, but Start9 has an excellent community and FAQ page that are extremely helpful
Good to know. Thanks, john.
My pleasure, I'm no expert but happy to try and answer any questions about either. I run both myself for funsies.
The big difference is #Start9 is open source
I forgot about that, that is a +1 for sure
I never had a good reason to until now. Having to rely on someone else’s service.. self custody, etc. Ultimately I want to be less connected. If I do this, it will be solely for my learning because I don’t need any of this in my life.
Tried both. Start 9 is more “Linux”, Umbrel more “Apple” is kind of the feeling one gets when using them. I prefer Start 9 though (gets you more involved) and worked fine on an old ThinkPad. Issues with WiFi with both so better to keep your node plugged in to your network/router.
Hey, this should be fixed - in case please restart the Hub and let us know if that worked!
Sorry for the inconvenience 💙
