Right, well, I seem to have managed to connect a wallet such that I can send a zap now but my .onion "lightning address" isn't apparently valid for putting in my profile to receive them.
Maybe have to do some kinda proxy, guess it ain't gonna work behind TOR.
humm, I think I made my first zap work and obviously it didn't look like I had so I retried and then it did it twice. Ha.
Well exactly, if you want to be able to add an extension then renting isn't gonna work. Best not have a baby or whatever.
You gotta admit that "Strategic Shitcoin Stockpile" has better alliteration than "Strategic Bitcoin Reserves". 🤣
Well, at least I managed to upgrade Debian and the Lightning Node and the Bitcoin node and LNBits, so my wallet will no longer complain lnd is out of date.
I feel like such a sucker having installed #Umbrel a while back only to apparently have them rug-pull the entire system and now (well, since April apparently, it's not supposed to need constant attending to here) they want me to wipe and reinstall it all.
What is all this bollocks? I want to run Debian man, not some custom distro. I don't wanna download the entire blockchain again. I have no idea how to back up my lightning channels.
Fuck off, not gonna reinstall a thing which already rugged me once am I? How long till they decide to only support their own hardware anyway? Meh.
Guess I do have to figure out how to back up these lightning channels then.
Property as an investment is probably a bad idea, but thinking your landlord is going to maintain your home properly seems like a pipe dream. Landlords suck. They're unresponsive, unwilling to spend even on repair let alone improvement. Plus they're nosey, always coming around inspecting and placing rules on what you can do. Want a dog? Gotta get the landlords permission I'm afraid. Want to build an extension? Gotta get the landlord's permission I'm afraid. Want to repaint or improve the insulation? Gotta wait til the landlord will pay, if they'll do it at all.
Landlords suck.
Watched "The Ark", a SyFy show about a space-ship fleeing a doomed Earth, which is damaged by an accident killing half the crew as the rest come out of stasis in the opening scenes.
The science is, uh, not great. Worse than Trek even, just barely even making sense. It sure ain't hard sci-fi.
But its a fun space-opera. The story is pretty engaging and the characters are good archetypes. Captain's dead, everyone on-board seems to have a secret, and everyone's fighting for control and to hide their past. Lots of betrayal and plotting and political maneuvers.
Watched the first two seasons. Seems like they are planning more but that'll have to wait till after the summer presumably.

Something like this will happen to Sol next cycle.
Everyone gets a pardon today! Democrats all pardoned by Biden, Republicans all pardoned by Trump. It's a complete crime reset! A crime jubilee!
Well, except for the whistleblowers, obviously.
Nobody will pardon Snowden or Assange because in the corporate kleptocratic government the only real crime is reporting the crimes.
There's people saying Trump's worth is 90% in crypto now, that he's a crypto whale, that this coin of his means he's one of the richest people in the world
But really, there's no liquidity in the market at all. Selling 30 million dollars worth yesterday crashed to price 50%.
There's "only" like 50 million dollars there really, not the market-cap of 50 billion.
Which is a nice little earner from nothing but a few scam entries in a distributed database, but isn't really 90% of Trumps real net worth and doesn't actually mean he's a crypto billionaire.
Oh, here comes another one, for Melania now.
Is that one real? Is anything real?
Will Melania's coin also pump 10x and then dump the next day? Probably?
Maybe all money is just made up unless it has proof of work?
Trump:
> "I would like the United States to have a 50% ownership position in a joint venture... Keep it in good hands... Without US approval there is no TikTok. With our approval, it's worth hundreds of billions"
It's exactly a kleptocract mafia protection racket.
Nice app you got there. Be a shame if we banned it. We might not ban it if we have 50%. Just half.
USA is the Mafia man. For reals.
Sounds like TikTok have agreed terms, Trump has saved the day. What a glorious day for Trump and TikTok!
His inauguration will surely be the most viral inauguration on TikTok in history. Democrats will get the blame for the ban (Which was initiated by Trump in his last term), Trump will get the glory, America will get half the money, and the USA will get control over their algorithm so it never again allows Bin Laden's speeches about American Imperialism to go viral or promotes anything implying Palestinians are real people.
Hurray for the corporate web. 🙄
The USA is the Mafia now. Pay the protection money and you get to stay alive. The price is the same as Putin's price for operating business in Russia: 50%. Half.
Some people were worried today that Trump's twitter had been hacked to announce a fake Trump crypto shitcoin scam!
But it turns out it's a genuine Trump crypto shitcoin scam.
The crucial difference being which scammer gets the scam proceeds.

But there are so many trump shitcoins now, how am I supposed to know which one to buy?
It has at least clued me in to why my verification .well-known isn't right. CORS stuff. Might try and address that at the weekend maybe.
Always seems to happen on satellite earth too, and often on snort. Devs not testing in Firefox probably? Let alone Librewolf.
