It’s actually not as bad as I thought it would be. I’m running bitcoind, cln (with no channels, only for gossip), mempool, fulcrum, and elementsd on a single computer that costs easily costs less than $300 used with ~$150 2TB NVMe upgrade.

No idea how long I will run it. My main motivation is to experiment with peerswap via liquid.

I had trouble finding system resource information about running a liquid node so I’ll document some info here:

~27GB disk space

~6GB RAM free for IBD

The IBD is RAM hungry, so best to have spare free space and swap setup.

Is that web interface created by Start9 or Blockstream? I think it’s Start9, but not sure.

The worst kind of picky eater is the one who doesn’t admit to themselves or others that they are a picky eater. At least own that your a picky eater if you’ll only eat like 10 things on earth.

I wish Apple would build into iOS a way to allow users to configure individual apps to force network traffic over their relays (iCloud Private Relay) and not just limit it to Safari.

Not bad for 2 external drives in software RAID 1

Migration complete! Everything is up and appears to be working. I have a few concerns but will address/research tonight.

The copy has slowed and kids are awake! I’ll have to resume migrating tonight.

Node migration in progress. Moving to a RAID 1 SSD setup. 1.2TB copy estimated to be done 70 minutes. Wish me luck.

I had to replace the heat bed on my A1 under recall at no cost. Kind of a PITA but the instructions were very straightforward. I’m impressed with the build quality of these thing.

This mornings harvest of white alpine strawberries. My daughter loves these things. Thankfully they grow like crazy under the blueberry bushes.

Last time I played I hit on the green and this happened 😂

I’m a big fan of federations with explicit expiration dates. I really hope this becomes normalized behavior by mints and users of mints.

It does bring up all sorts of interesting convention points around how to ethically and/or legally turn off a mint. Should deposits to the mint be turned off days/months/years before its shutdown? How many days/months/years should users of a mint be given notice before shutting down? Etc, etc
