Happy New Year Nostr! May 2026 bring you many zaps!
Ha! The Display unit for the Legion Z2 GO is running Ubuntu in the background instead of SteamOS. Lol. Can't really click on the interface though so I don't know which version it runs. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/3005022600d525fcd8f9d99da2266b3dfd91b625bf0d41cfb0e7f16b874882fe/4656c29055409081be3c82685e7da89bdda2970709de93f7acbb7e175c0a43c2.webp https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/3005022600d525fcd8f9d99da2266b3dfd91b625bf0d41cfb0e7f16b874882fe/3a99dd8c64a339e543678667ad9c90cd63334a6845d4b3e073659e47156bfb83.webp
Merry Christmas everyone in the Fediverse, Nostr, and Bluesky! I hope you have a great holiday!
What do you mean by value blocks with the auto boost in your v4v music app?
nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 you guys need to work on making sure fees are being clearly stated cause it wasn't 0 sats, but 6 sats. This was with the external wallet via nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm
Sigh... Its just wet cold and windy on the east side of the state. Winds didn't cause too much damage. Definitely not what y'all are experiencing over there. Stay safe!
Also a b-day boost since you released the episode on the same day.
You know what would be an awesome feature for nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 , nostr:npub1unmftuzmkpdjxyj4en8r63cm34uuvjn9hnxqz3nz6fls7l5jzzfqtvd0j2 ? An autoboost feature where it would combine both the features of boosting and sat streaming. I think the scope would be similar to sat streaming with a per/minute sat metric and then you would have an option to boost on pause or boost at the end of the podcast. It should keep track of the splits, so music podcasts can send sats to the correct wallets, but also can attach a message at the end and even share it on nostr like a normal boost.
I think I this feature would be good in keeping the sat fees lower. I've noticed that with normal sat streaming, you pay about 5-10 sats per minute and that adds up fairly quickly especially where there are a fair bit of splits in the RSS feed. I understand why those fees are there, but this would keep the fees lower.
I know nostr:npub15z2javq62eh2xpms7yew0uzqsk4dr7t3q3dq4903uuxdyw2ca3kstx6q95 's nostr:npub17pguadnuq8t9umtpdrumkntkygkyg58g2atujwf3454ux9ktc89st95h5r dose this with individual songs, but I'm not sure how it handles music podcasts and the feature.
Idk just an idea, and I know there's millions of those. Just something I've been thinking about as I'm catching up on my podcasts. Y'all have a wonderful day!
Opp I double boosted the song nostr:npub15z2javq62eh2xpms7yew0uzqsk4dr7t3q3dq4903uuxdyw2ca3kstx6q95. Oh well, they deserved it!
Welp, and once again, I keep misspelling shit. GM Nostr!
Honestly I would call it a right of passage to get a CVE. It means you are being taken seriously when it come to the kernel.
This is a good ready if you want yo understand what Rust's first CVE means.
Okay the new Avatar movie is an endurance challenge. Its a good movie, but after three hours with a full theater, I was glad to get out.
Yeah I have to be careful during the holiday season as well. My little sister is a heart patient and we have to be vigilant. Unlike last year, she was down for the count for nearly a month. And I think she also caught pneumonia in the process too. So yeah, I understand your vigilance when it comes to making sure you're not getting sick as much as possible, and especially with the norovirus.
Anyways, I hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving. This is a back in time boost, so I'm still catching up.
Back in time Boost - During our Thanksgiving Honday, we ended up qualifying for two turkeys at our local WinCo. Sad part I didn't realize this till I got back with an item we initially forgot. So I had to run back again to grab another Frozen Turkey. It still sitting in the freezer to this day. We'll probably cook it for new years or Christmas.
Anyways have a Happy Holidays! I'm about a month behind in my podcasts, but I am catching up!
I meant "didn't split correctly with the long track." Ugh I wish we could edit notes.
nostr:npub1awyzkzaktxlhyg6syzst3pxy5lvp0c908yphz4ekk9rp3zcapp5qxn79n4 I think my boost split correctly with the longy track at the end of the episode. I'm also sat streaming from my alby go wallet via Fountain. So I don't know if that was a me issue or the split didn't change when I hit the boost button.
Ugh and I'm a month behind in all my podcasts... It fun trying to catch up.
I'm also testing the paid notes feature of nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q
Love Longy! Definitely check out the interview he had on Phamtom Power Music Hour Episode 26! It's over a year old but still a good listen.
Yeah I gotta deal with network outages at a lake nearby for one of my works network relays, I guess the battery decided to kick the bucket. It was slated to be replaced but the winds kind of made that go quicker.
Yeah, I'm closing my account after I get my tax documents from them for 2025. I wasn't getting much from with the subscription and billpay rewards.
With today being my birthday, would it be much to ask for Sats and Zaps?
I think in artists case, it really about getting direct support from her fans regardless of the funding source. No need for gatekeeping from this aspect.
Ugh, I hate that life is pay to win.
Nothing like a Friday night emergency service call for one of our towers that decided to give us the middle finger! Our primary link decided to go down and so did our backup link. Hurray!
Well, I'm gonna give you the middle finger right back because you ruined my Friday night date!
Meep
Next batch of stickers to be converted to magnets. These were from the Tri-City Comic Con in Pasco WA a couple months back. Just now getting around to doing this. Plus the our local renaissance fair is happening tomorrow, so I will probably have another batch of stickers to do as well. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/3005022600d525fcd8f9d99da2266b3dfd91b625bf0d41cfb0e7f16b874882fe/15a8b6661a2f29a493048ccb15bb401f4ade950d017ba16c56bb981ecde04ac7.webp
GM(well its actually afternoon😅), Nostr!
Enjoy your Friday while you still can!
Well, this sucks. The rack we ordered is too small length wise. So we're going to have to get a side mounted rack... Frustrating, but it is what it is. On the bright side, the switch is awesome.
New we are installing at our shop today. It's the Unifi Pro XG Switch.

Check and play with your router's or PC's DNS... I removed one of cloudflares DNS IP and added in Google's DNS to test and it's being more consistent.
Oh yes, I would love a music podcast-focused app. And I would 100% support it.
I love Fountain, but it's starting to lack in features for music.
#GM everyone. Just here to let you all know that today is a new day, a new week, and no matter what happens in your own life or in this world, it's going to be okay.

As one door closes, another door opens.
I remember the relief of signing the settlement papers — the calls stopped, and I finally had certainty. I owed $24,664.40 and settled for $8,920, paying $518.45/month into escrow for 37 months (~$19,198 total). Debt gone, peace bought — but no assets gained.
Then I had a what-if moment.
If I had DCA’d $518.45/month into Bitcoin from Nov 2022–Nov 2025, I’d have put in ~$19,182 and accumulated ~0.74 BTC (avg buy ~$25,855). At today’s price, that’s ≈$82,780 — an unrealized gain of ≈$63,600. Enough for a car, truck, or even a solid house down payment. And this is just an average, and not mathing in month spot check, so It's probably off, but still conveys my example.
Debt relief has real value, but once I ran the math, I realized the group that “helped” me made about $10K off me. That’s close to just paying the settlement amount directly, except they effectively charged me ~22% credit card fees.
I can’t change the past, but I can redirect the lesson: once my final payment is done in Nov, I’ll take that same $518/month and put it into Bitcoin. Playing it safe bought me certainty, but it also cost me big. Over time, Bitcoin’s highs and lows have always trended upward.
Lesson: quantify the cost of certainty. Sometimes “playing it safe” costs more than you think.
(Clarification: I used an LLM to help summarize and run the numbers, then edited it into my own style. Tools like Duck.ai and Warp Terminal are pretty great tools for this.)

I think that might help some people realize the value of an asset like bitcoin.

I noticed it disappeared with the latest beta? That was the one thing I loved about the app. 🫤
Honestly, if it wasn't for the $600 price tag for this case, this would be a pretty sick setup. Just take it around with you for lan parties, cons, or LinuxFests in general.
So I will probably wait for a third party manufacturer to bring the cost down for this thing. I am probably better off just buying an MATX case that has a handle on top instead.
yeah I was a thrift store kid too and even got into those tie-dye and paisley pattern shirts back in the late 90s too. Nowadays I still wear branded t-shirts but mostly now either gaming centric comic-con, or from you guys. Like I still have that patch ypur shit t-shirt from techstep Back when ya'll first started with Teespring.

For me I have it as my moral code, so there is some use to have a belief. With that said my gripe isn't with some who believes in something, or themselves, it the organization religious grouos which screw with the truth to get what they want. That what pisses me off the most.
Angela, you lost me when you said Jack in the box. Ugh.. I don't know about your guys this area but the ones in my area are... Not great... 🤢🤮 To say at the least.

Hey, would it be possible for you guys to shout out the Sat streamers who've stream over 2000 sats? I don't know how feasible that is, but that world be cool. My opinion is that sat streaming will probably be more important for live streaming and podcasts. Especially music podcasts. I don't like picking one specific artist to boost. I like them all sometimes.

Its been hit or miss for me lately. Mainly when I try to reply on notes and boosts within the app.
