Be Digitally Sovereign! The computer movement where we make it easy to run your own Bitcoin/Lightning Node, private Bitcoin point of sale, private cloud, private messaging with voice and video calling, private website hosting, and private Bitcoin buying and selling to name a few all on one device called the Sovran Pro.

We make running your own lightning node super easy!!! Be Digitally Sovereign!

It is not that difficult to run your own node!!! Come on people!

Haha, yes, Caddy rocks! nginx is for the birds. Yes, hardware bottlenecks are no fun.

My Spirit Animal. This guy can `sudo`. Go get it!

That is so cool in my book! I see that you also contribute to Nix-Bitcoin. Rock on brother!

looks like nostr:npub1fgz3pungsr2quse0fpjuk4c5m8fuyqx2d6a3ddqc4ek92h6hf9ns0mjeck got our nix dev shell working on macos. So if you want to hack on damus android from your mac you can do this now 🙂, as cursed as this may seem.

If you’re rust-mobile-curious I recommend trying it out, let me know if you run into any issues!

I totally forgot nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s you work with Nix. Very cool. Keep up the good work!

https://phoenix.acinq.co/server fixes it

It takes care of liquidity and channels management for merchants while being non-custodial

Yes, super easy, but it has too much centralization for my taste.

Yes, I do not know your experience. This sounds like you have some fine expertise in this area.

I see it as there will be more folks that will be wanting to pay in bitcoin and the business owners will need to have options.

I think there will always need to be energy and options for self-sovereignty. If L2 or L3 keep moving further away from self-sovereignty to "fix" the easy of use problems, this will end up creating trouble later.

I hear ya. At the same time, running a lighting node does not have to be that difficult. We make it easy for folks. It is because Nix-Bitcoin is top not software. The balancing of channels, yes, a bit of maintenance. However, as with anything, there does need to be energy to maintain things. Also, the power of Bitcoin and what it means for their financial freedom out weighs the "burden" of balancing a channel.
