Marc Rebillet is awesome
Yes. It is up to us to be ultimately responsible for our essentials. I just wish I had this aim and knew the importance of it from an earlier age.
I hope my kids donāt just hear the wah wah wah like the parentsā voices in Charlie Brown cartoons when Iām trying to teach these lessons. People rarely learn the important lessons without the pain associated with ignoring them.
Just need more space, and to free up more of the 50-55 hours a week that Iām currently burning up in the fiat mine lol.
Yeah itās cool how many beets you can produce on a single 6x6 bed.
Looking forward to these beds being a secondary source and having a primary garden plot 20yd x 40yd so we can do more.
And we have to get some protein production going. I have the materials to build a quail setup. Just need the time once hunting season and canning are done for the year.
A family that wholly outsources its potable water supply, food supply, energy security and physical security cannot be free.
What other key responsibilities have we outsourced by default?
Itās time to purposefully and methodically take them back to as great a degree as possible, and disentangle ourselves from the fiat matrix.

Fingers held horizontally at the end of an outstretched arm, between the horizon and the lower edge of a setting sun, each count as approximately 15 minutes to sunset. If itās further than 4 fingers, you can move your hand up to āstackā fingers and keep counting.
Good job. Nice bit of meat in the freezer š¤š½
I canāt see myself ever dropping 2500 bucks on a unit like this Traeger unless I had a lot of disposable income. Itās completely non functional without power, and to utilize all of the features with the on-phone app, it has to connect to your router instead of direct via Bluetooth. Itās pretty fiat.
Your post from this morning actually inspired me to drag out the charcoal smoker rather than cheat and use the Traeger my buddy left at my house for a few months lol. š¤š½
Whitetail backstrap smoked for 3 hours at 225Ā°F on a PK Grill charcoal smoker with a combination of Maple chips, Hickory and competition blend smoker pellets. It turned out so tender that I could have cut it with a butter knife.
Iām pretty stoked that I went out and set up a 4 day tenting camp in the bush by myself, tagged this animal, dragged it 2km back to camp on foot, butchered it on my own, and was able to serve it up to my family. #foodstr #huntstr #carnivore

It can be fun. It can also be really not fun. Beneficial for seeing things for a short time with your ego stripped away. But not worth the negative short term side effects of nausea and itchiness in my experience. And I wouldnāt recommend doing it if you have anything important to do the next day. Because youāre not going to sleep until the birds have already started chirping at 4am.
BTC Sessionsā tutorial on Alby hub with Start9 is helpful. And some other resources he has on his channel about setting up a standalone lightning node from scratch and opening channels.
I think some of your concerns will be addressed by gaining an understanding first about how inbound and outbound liquidity work with lightning nodes. You will also learn some background knowledge that will show you how layer 2 technologies work while indeed still remaining Bitcoin.
Lightning is complicated. Lightning development is hard. Rolling out a consumer focused product and providing enough tool tips to fill in usersā knowledge gaps about how lightning even works is unrealistic.
Once you gain some of the background knowledge about Lightning, opening/closing/balancing channels, and recovering your funds in the event that you have a catastrophic issue with your node hardware, you may come to the conclusion that, for the minuscule sat balances most Lightning users are maintaining for sub $100 purchases, Albyās cloud hosted option for under $10/month is actually a good value if youāre transacting in BTC day to day.
My experience with Lightning has pretty much left me with the impression that itās best treated like the walk-around cash in your pocket. You have liquidity that will support buying what you need for a dayās outing, but if you lose your billfold or your node goes down, you arenāt going to go hungry. You can just reload an alternate wallet like Speed Wallet from one of your main stacks on chain and keep trucking until you can sort it out.
Being your own bank using a monetary instrument that isnāt constantly losing purchasing power is not easy. You instantly take on the role of bank manager, teller, head of security and head of IT. Itās why most people are quite happy to ignore the inflationary theft and counter party risk of having their life savings in banks and retirement investment accounts.
I canāt wait to see the first bird that meets its end flying into that thing Final Destination style.

I was thinking about restacking the layers on my potato towers, and layering in leaves and greens and some excess soil from the beds in there and putting a lid on them. Since I donāt have a Johnson Su built yet.
Got all the neighbourās leaves raked up today lol. In a separate story, had to rescue the lady down the street from the other neighboursā pit bull last night. She came to feed the dogs across the alley at this place, and encountered the other neighboursā pit bull that had escaped their yard and had already made a run at me in my garage when I got home. Second time Iāve hoofed this thing under the chin with a steel toe in my own garage in the past year as I exited my vehicle. This dog had the lady down the street totally cornered and baring its teeth until I came out, got it to come at me again, and hosed it down with pepper spray, just as the owners were pulling around the corner to come home. I thought it was going to get ugly. But it didnāt. The joys of life in a town. I canāt wait till we get our own acreage.
