What I specifically like about Umbrel files is the ability to remote mount media for access.

This is not the same as building a robust self hosted cloud solution, which is also possible, but with more complexity.

My two Umbrel nodes sit on two different Islands which is separate to where I live.

I also do backup by replication to another NAS I have in another part of the world.

Downloaded and started using it last night on both my Unbrel Home and RPi nodes.

I will be using “Files” to storage stuff in my own cloud which I had attempted to do twice before with Nextcloud with catastrophic results.

When I say Catastrophic, I had backups, all was good 😂 nostr:note15m3zzzl8vacmxq8c7l9ay72h8cryv0l5m9re39r0j8zym6c6q3sqq9grj3

So, I had this science fiction story in my mind for over a decade, but never had time to write it due to everything else I had to work on. It was always on my long-term to-do list.

When AI started to take off a bit over the past few years, I was like, "Jeez, I don't know if it'll be any good, but If I don't write this thing, it might turn into historical fiction rather than science fiction." More realistically, I'd have to keep adjusting it every five years because the future is now.

But things have a tendency to align. Or maybe I just look on the bright side. Because another big component of the story is about social media causing increased social isolation if we're not careful with it, etc.

Since we're doing some large construction work in Egypt over this past year, my husband and I have had to spend more time apart than ever (he's managing the project there, while I have to manage our obligations here, and we travel to each other when we can).

I work from home. So, sometimes during this period I have days where I wake up, go for a walk, work, do an interview about finance online, exercise, go back to work, then go to sleep, and never speak to someone in person. Just me in the house and being the weirdo trying to get 10k steps in the sun around the neighborhood.

That both gave me insight into how that type of isolation can affect people (luckily temporarily in my case), and also ironically gave me time to finally write the thing, which helped me deal with the aforementioned isolation.

Like we always say, "When you're here, you're family."

Wait…no, that's the Olive Garden slogan.

Like we always say, "The family you choose!"

During interviews, I get a lot of questions about the potential for a strategic bitcoin reserve and how it may affect price.

I typically answer by talking about how I tend to take the 'under' on the prospect for a bitcoin reserve. In other words, as a base case they might recategorize currently-held bitcoin, might add a bit, etc. My lesser case is that they go and actually buy a lot, which would positively affect price, sure. I then go on about how, my long-term bullishness of bitcoin is not dependent on that, and I'd rather structure my view to assume a baseline and potentially be surprised to the upside on price within a given period, rather than focus on singular bullish catalysts and then be surprised to the downside if those specific things don't materialize.

That's Lyn Speak for "I find this question really boring, please stop asking me it."

The redacted version of the latest Epstein client list so far can basically be summarized with:

Dear Americans,

Is this the first time a vice president has had such a prominent role. As far as I've been aware all previous VPs have sat in a back office somewhere waiting for the President to die.

Brave is a shitcoin browser. Absolute garbage (not that any other browser is much better).

Mozilla just changed the Firefox TOS. If you're a privacy person, might be time to move off.

Goodnight
