I want to say thanks. Your suggestion seems to be the only #Linux option my computer will interact with off the USB to install it
I thought I was being safe #BitLocking my #pc, so now I have to wait for my 1TB drive to #Decript, and I'll try the install tomorrow after I wake up
This is appreciated for the advice, my friend. Thanks again
I forgot #Windows had #Linus backed in from #Windows10, so what I am now attempting with the download of #Ubuntu from #MicrosoftStore and using the command curl -L https://umbrel.sh | bash from #Umbrel is to see if I can install and run it on windows without #DualBooting
why thank you sir
So trying to dual-boot my PC right now so I can have #windows11 and #ClearLinux do that my windows will be for things #Linux can't do and my Linux will be my every day use running a #lightning and #Bitcoin #node with my own #Nostr #Relay
But why it's still a good way to talk to friends privately and promisingly
Raw on my way home, and all the police are out in my local town, and something major has happened, but I had no idea what
Listen to #TheBrakedown and get your weekly breakdown https://fountain.fm/episode/1YXq1mlelaIjzSuYC8nG
GM #AskNoster any good relays specific to #Bitcoin
Yer, I mean I second that Idea.

🔥 The dream of # Decentralization, a world where transactions are transparent and free from the shadows of traditional finance, seems more like a distant utopia today. Despite the promises of #DeFi to safeguard investors with transparent, automated systems, the reality is starkly different. #Blockchain was supposed to democratize finance, yet here we are, witnessing a scenario where centralization creeps back, masked in the guise of innovation. 📉
The collapse of giants like Voyager and Celsius and the FTX scandal exposes the fragility and illusion of decentralization. High yields tempted many, but at what cost? Security breaches and a market downturn have led to a significant decline in DeFi's allure, with assets falling to levels comparable to a mid-sized bank. 🏦
But let's talk about the elephant in the room: centralization in disguise. The #51PercentAttack, governance token concentration, and regulatory crackdowns like the case against Ooki DAO reveal a sobering truth. Despite blockchain's potential, real-world challenges and governance flaws lead to a scenario eerily similar to the old financial systems we aimed to transcend. 🚨
Decentralization was not meant to be an immediate reality but a goal to strive towards. Yet, the pace at which we're moving, with backroom decisions and concentrated power, feels like a betrayal to the community. The rise of centralized controls within DeFi, the enforcement actions against Tornado Cash, and the overarching shadow of regulatory challenges show that we're far from the decentralized dream. 🛑
The decentralization narrative is being hijacked by those seeking to replicate traditional governance structures under the banner of blockchain. It's time for a reality check and a return to the drawing board. We must push for genuine decentralization, transparency, and community governance to realize blockchain's transformative potential. Let's not let the vision of a decentralized future be bulldozed by the very structures we aimed to dismantle. #Crypto #Governance #Transparency

This tweet got me reflecting on my journey into cryptocurrency and Bitcoin; it's fascinating to see how my technical background played a pivotal role in sparking my interest. My adventure began in earnest during the unprecedented times of 2020 amid the global COVID-19 lockdown.
I was employed at a DIY store deemed essential at that time and hence remained open. Despite the longer operational hours, my shifts were relatively short, leaving me with ample free time on my hands.
During these moments of newfound leisure, I delved into the world of technology through countless videos on YouTube.
This exploration led me to stumble upon a particularly intriguing video by CoinBureau about the Polygon network.
The video offered insights into the complexities of blockchain technology, igniting my curiosity and prompting me to explore the subject comprehensively.
This intense learning and discovery period stretched well into 2022, during which I also uncovered the fascinating world of Bitcoin.
Although I'm not a programmer by profession, my understanding of technology has deepened significantly, allowing me to grasp these concepts relatively easily.
I've since taken it upon myself to share this knowledge, educating friends and family who show an interest.
My investment portfolio is predominantly composed of Bitcoin, alongside a selection of other tokens.
My support for these tokens is not only financial but also based on my belief in their underlying technology and potential for generating income.
I'm always eager to hear about others' paths to discovering cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. How did your journey begin? I'm genuinely interested to know.

Today will be a week on #nostr, not including the last account going wrong,
Already, I am finding I am preferring over Twitter as it less noise and I have control over my information and I can be me without worry of being shadow baned for no reason
I love posting my thoughts I use social media like my diary and we can have conversations about it and nostr has made it work
Any Nostr app I have used all does that, and yes, it isn't very pleasant
