You understand Bitcoin at the time your deserve. Don’t get mad at people for not listening to you when you talk to them into it. Let them feel pain first

I’m am close to reaching the debt ceiling with MasterCard. We are in negotiations to raise the debt ceiling to avoid a default. They have been unwilling to come to the table with fair compromises so far. No one wants a default, but if they can’t agree to meet in the middle it’s on them.

By popular demand, Start9 has provided a brief compare/contrast between StartOS and Umbrel.

HOW ARE THEY ALIKE?

Both Umbrel and StartOS dramatically simplify the process of discovering, downloading, and installing services onto a private server, and that is where the similarities end.

HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT?

**Appearance**

Umbrel uses MacOS's aethetic. The user interface is clean, colorful, and customizable. StartOS offers a functional design with little color or customization.

**Services**

As of May 30, 2023, there are approximately 100 services available for Umbrel, and 40 services available for StartOS. Both offer developer docs that permit anyone anywhere to package anything, and neither is capable of gatekeeping.

**Architecture**

Umbrel itself is an *app* that can be *installed* onto most Debian or Ubuntu computers and virtual machines. StartOS is an *operating system* (Linux distro) that can be *flashed* onto most computers and virtual machines.

**Config**

Services often provide config files, such as Bitcoin's bitcoin.conf. On Umbrel, updating config files requires using SSH and the command line. With StartOS, config files are presented as rich forms, including descriptions, downdowns, toggles, validated inputs, etc.

**Backups**

When it comes to self-hosting, nothing is more important than making backups. With the exception of LND, Umbrel does not provide a means of backing up services. With StartOS, encrypted backups can be made by pushing a button.

**Encryption**

On Umbrel, communications over the LAN are done over plain http. This means that anyone connected to your home WiFi network can trivially steal your passwords and money. With StartOS, communications over the LAN are done over encrypted https.

**Monitoring**

Umbrel does not provide tools for monitoring the health or performance of services. SSH and the command line are needed to view service logs. StartOS offers custom health checks that display service health, and a live screen for viewing service logs.

**DIY Options**

Both Umbrel and StartOS can be installed for free. As an app, Umbrel can be installed on the Raspberry Pi and devices running Debian or Ubuntu. As an operating system, StartOS can be flashed on just about any computer or virtual machine.

**Price**

Both companies offer plug and play devices. Umbrel offers a single device for $700. It has a 2.9GHz processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 2TB NVMe SSD. Start9 offers the same device for $563.

Start9 also has other options ranging from $199 to $1546

E-thots, coomers, and hentai artists are all to blame for the degradation and perversion in our society.

She said she bought some at the 2017 top and rode it for a while. I’m assuming she couldn’t stomach it and sold for a loss. I reminded her that it’s higher in USD value today. Complaining about volatility is so pedestrian.

Peter Schiff wants you to buy Bitcoin so that you can now buy his Inscription. 🤣 So, to him, Bitcoin isn't good enough to buy to use as a store of value, but you can buy Bitcoin to use it for money apparently. Bullish.

She’s my friend’s girlfriend so I went easy on her. She thinks the government can stop it. I asked if they couldn’t stop it in 2013, how could they do it now? I just plant seeds. 🌱

Binance AUSTRALIA selling #bitcoin almost $10,000 cheaper

Good morning!

I still think Kevin McCarthy is a douchebag, but if this one compromise turns out to be legit, I see it as good news.

The cost to protect the USD since 1975:

- 7k dead US soldiers

- $10T in military costs

- 1.2B metric tons of greenhouse gases (2.8% of global emissions) by the US military

Crazy how we all gonna die and Bitcoin will still mine the next block in 10 minutes on average

What’s everyone so upset about? Bitcoin is fast as hell!

Controversial thought:

I like ordinals. They help stresstest the network while paying stupid high fees for jpegs and giving miners more incentive to turn those babies back on.
