Also, I’m shying away from umbrel in favor of start9, but I’m experimenting with Nix-Bitcoin. Such a pita, hope it’s worth it. Pretty sure it will be, but not for the fainthearted.

I can recommend Hp & Dell business models too. Stay away from home consumer devices and you can expect some longevity. Also, stick with a model that has upgradable ram/ssd instead of scraping the bottom of the barrel (like a chromebook).

Old laptop node.

Built-in wifi, bluetooth, camera, monitor, keyboard, and a battery backup.

What a fucking swing and a miss. nostr:note1qcfgdtkhcllgac3wskjlgyp953tpun7fxet38elfl9um59v2mllsljrrsj

Also, “deeper into Linux than me” lol. That’s bizarre to hear since I’m coming from the windows & related closed source tech stack world 🤣

I absolutely recommend a hypervisor! Adding an extra abstraction layer is very powerful & helps to better separate workloads. Sometimes containers are more appropriate, sometimes full vms are, and proxmox gives you the flexibility to do both.

My dayjob uses ESX, and I was able to migrate a vm to proxmox with barely any work.

The gui sucks, but the product is great.

I miss their custodial lightning offering 😢

That’s my bread and butter.

I’m just gonna say rip now. 🫡

That’s one swanky ass knife. Brand?

How much ram did you end up going with?

One of my four was returned last night

IT is the only place you don’t wanna see a dirty rack.

None of us do 🫡

I’d suggest checking for invoice expiry more often. A ln invoice contains the expiration date, 2 of my invoices expired after 3600 seconds so there’s no reason on my end why it’s still stuck, general support was blaming pathfinding.

I learned to build in some time for troubles, so it’s ok for now. But end users can’t have this much friction.

Maaaaan, #cashapp sucks for lightning payments for me

I have 4 lightning invoices stuck, won’t get the money back for 2/3 more days. It was a significant chunk of my paycheck
