I think Pomp lost it.

0.1337 #BTC will make you elite.

No, I didn't not buy their hardware.

The best day of the year for any business is break even day. It’s the day you have all your expenses covered for the year and you know you will survive another year.

Plus, every dollar of revenue you earn for the rest of the year is pure gravy. And the gravy sure is good.

Erybody hates me.

Just got back from Bluesky.

First 5 skeets in a nutshell: Mads ‘bout racism.

These people think of nothing else but what infuriates them. Therefore, they are always infuriated.

Sad.

Is it so hard to understand that there is no second best?

Ok, i add an interesting finding that i read. While Start9 uses https vs. Umbrel, the LN node of Start9 doesnt use 24 seed phrase as Umbrel does.

I read this in a thread. I cant confirm it.

Both OS have trade offs. I run Umbrel and I will stick to it until I see clear disadvantages. I have zero issues with Umbrel right now.

I prefer to focus on learning LN node management. 🤙🏻

So, everyone FOMOing into XRP today?

I’ve tried ‘em, didn’t work for either doxie.

You absolutely can, though we do not recommend using external drives with the Pi unless you have a 5W power supply (not the default Pi power supply), the SSD is self powered or uses a powered USB hub, and the cord connecting the SSD to the Pi is very high quality.

This is becuase the Raspberry Pi 4 is notorious for not providing enoguh power to the external SSD, which can lead to unreliability or even data corruption. That is why Start9, Umbrel, MyNode, etc have all moved away from the Pi to other hardware.

HOWEVER, the Pi is perfectly fine if you do not use an external SSD. Instead, we recommend using a 128GB or 256GB high endurance microSD card, no SSD at all. Start9's Server Lite is exactly that, a Raspberry Pi 4 (8GB) running entitely off the microSD card. Pretty cool.

Obviously, you cannot fit the entire Bitcoin blockchain on 256GB, which means your full node will be running pruned, which is perfectly fine. It will prohibit you from running Electrs and Mempool, that's it. Everything else on the Martketplace will work great, including LND, Core Lightning, BTCPay server, etc, etc

Can I run start9 and lnd on the 8gb pi 4 with 2tb without any problems?

I was looking at their websites and the configuration they sell is much superior.

Trying to keep this place clean is my greatest challenge

Anybody know why it replaces my text with this nostr code?

This is the third time and I have no idea why. nostr:note1qre7vleqf75mep6u6fk7jkvfmvx0e422nxjackfdqdvzjvcsrrdqnj4jg8
