8gb is enough unless you were using more on your Pi already. Using 2gb running btc node and lightning wallet. My Pi uses 4.5gb with much more Apps.

Ubuntu OS needs about 700mb-1gb of RAM.

This might be helpful:

You can run it either as the Pi on SD card with external drive or OrangePi provides a Pcie connector.

Perfectly. Even faster given the better hardware.

The only think to keep in mind is that you need to maintain the ubuntu os (updates) in addition to updating umbrel and its apps only.

Multiple technologies that have developed in parallel/separately are now suddenly starting to converge and accelerate not only each others development further but also enables new ideas and approaches.

Hence, we likely experience a "hockey stick" moment in tech.

And technological changes have always changed society too; how we life, institutions etc need to adapt to the new realities fueled by new tech.

What's different imo is the speed of change (technological advancement), which has got too fast for people/society to adadpt within one to two generstions. Historically, change happend more slowly and gradually which allowed the young to adopt and become profiecient in the new tech while the older generation to die off.

Let's see how we address this challenge this time.

... and Saturday too, of cause β˜•.

πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹.. Delicious. Enjoy πŸ‘

Good morning Alan πŸŒžβ˜•.

Have a great day.

Ledger should immediately make all of their software open source.

That's the only move to reinstill trust imo.

Thoughts on this by Balaji? Pasted from his tweet below:

STOPPING THE BACKDOOR ATTACK

In 2010, even after Twitter and Facebook helped catalyze the Arab Spring, people still would have thought it implausible if you'd said "in ten years, the most important political issue in the world for a few days will be whether the President of the United States could tweet."

But it was.

Similarly, in 2023, even after El Salvador has adopted Bitcoin, people still think it's implausible to say "by the end of this decade, the most important political issue in the world may be whether bankrupt governments have sufficient Bitcoin to fund their operations."

But it could be.

And in such a circumstance, what will desperate governments do? As of 2023, I don't think the conventional 51% attack by mining is something the US government could easily pull off. Maybe China could, but most mining is now outside China.

Instead, the federal government may try to compel Apple and Google (and other tech companies) to hunt for private keys on the servers, devices, and browsers they control. And to remit any stolen funds to a cash-hungry federal government.

This isn't cyberterrorism, it's cyberwar. It's not some random hacker who manages to sneak out a file. It's when the CEO of a company gives the lawful order to to hack their customers. This is similar to what happened to 140M Russians designated enemies of the state in early 2022 β€” every tech company turned on their former customers.

What's the possible target? We're talking billions of iPhones and Android phones, Mac laptops and Chrome browsers, Google Docs and Gmail. China could do the same with the Chinese smartphone manufacturers.

What's the possible defense? This is a tough situation. It's quite possible Tim Cook stands up to the pressure. He's been good on end-to-end encryption and stood up to the establishment on the CSAM on-device scanning initiative[1], which was an obvious way to get the snout under the tent.

If you can't trust the operating system itself, things get tricky. Linux is an answer but Linux devices may not scale in time. Exchanges built on Linux are another possible answer, but those are of course custodial and possibly also vulnerable to similar attacks.

I don't have all the answers, but I want to raise the question to get us to start thinking about it. It's possible that the answer here is in part social or political, not simply technological.

Plausible.

Apple and google with their own chips already can read data before it's encrypted on devices. They sell it to us with better image recognition, text to speech etc. functionality. The biggest backdoor is the smartphone. Hence keep only bitcoin on your device that you csn afford to lose.

Nice.. Enjoy πŸ‘

What model is it?

I got most inspirational moments outside walking in nature leaving the mind flowing, looking at surroundings... And in the shower. πŸ˜„
