Also for PGP and git commit signing, great extra feature
Not tried it for ssh auth (yet)
Holy shit that’s a lot of love for Lionel ❤️
More than 1btc sent already 😮
For on-chain, Tapsigner https://tapsigner.com/ is a NFC hardware wallet.
Works with Nunchuck on your phone, and now also Sparrow on desktop as a backup (ofc you’d need a USB NFC thing for desktop)
And there’s a BTC Sessions vid for it: https://youtu.be/xKHy1HMw5iU

We onboarded Copper Pot Coffee in London during Advancing Bitcoin last week.
They're using our LNBits powered PoS. 💪
The Pay Merchant button has also been enabled for tips.

Argh! Another one of those where Square doesn’t support Lightning yet 🤦♂️
Should be a fair bit easier to 💊 shops if they’ve already got the PoS

How does “Pay Merchant” work? Can’t see an OSM tag with a LNURL in it so I’m confused 😅
The “Saif’s Fiatbrained Soyboy Moron Club” 🤣
(I’m not an Umbrel expert)
Is the SSD mounted automatically at `/run/media/…` or manually? If manual, I think you could ‘just’ set the mountpoint to `/home/
(Assuming you’re running Umbrel on a not-RPi, my guess is it does something special if it thinks you’re doing the Pi+USB Drive setup)
NACK, given it’d presumably be an event you’d effectively be auto-saving-forever what I was thinking about replying to but didn’t end up - there’s a loss of privacy angle. Doing it Damus only out-of-band would probably be fine
IMHO, better would be a view of what people I follow have 🤙’d as an alternative to Universe for finding people to follow and stuff to interact with (given universe is a biiiiit spammy)
Yes, I think most people would strongly recommend always running a Lightning node with a Bitcoin full node alongside — otherwise you’re having to trust someone else’s node to spot a peer force closing a channel or broadcasting stale state, which could lose you money if your Lightning node doesn’t react in time.
This is also why the drives recommended above are 2TB, most of that is for the Bitcoin node. Lightning nodes don’t use much storage at all.
(1TB would work too but 2 is very future-proof, gives years and years of available space)
This is a good value for a home self-sovereign LN node.
* CPU much faster than RPi.
* 8GB: you should add another 8GB (DDR4 SODIMM 2400 or faster) or replace to max out at 32GB RAM.
* That's a 1TB SATA HD. You could add a nvme 2280 SSD to gain storage redundancy for your critical LN database. SSD's are at an all time low price now. I recommend TLC drives without HMB like Samsung 970 Evo Plus, Teamgroup MP34, or Crucial P2. 2TB is very affordable these days.
* You could also replace the spinning hard drive. Elimination of moving parts improves reliability. For 2.5" SATA I recommend the 2TB Crucial MX500 that's been below $120 recently.
* Most of the cost is your new drives. These drives will outlive the machine. If the machine dies you can simply move the drives into another machine. Linux won't care about the underlying hardware. It should work with zero or minimal reconfiguration.
I've been testing a similar model here. The screen and keyboard are of lower quality and music sounds bad from these speakers. These economy business laptops make excellent servers when you're able to buy them cheap enough which often is possible when fleets of corporate machines are liquidated.
There is risk in buying used. You want to immediately stress test the device including CPU, RAM, and disk after you receive it so you know if it needs to be returned. You want to flash the firmware to get security updates. That however has risk of bricking which would become a complicated discussion with the seller.
Note: Several other models are suitable as dual internal SSD home servers. I don't often post about them though because quantities for sale are not high. In this case the seller seems to have many for sale and the price is good.
Please follow and zap if you want more self-sovereign LN advice like this. I could be convinced to write a guide of what to do after you receive a used Thinkpad. I've lost money buying and testing non-refundable duds so you don't have to.
