Oh wild, I didn't know that other states had that kind of tax. CA has no tax on food items, unless it's hot prepared food or drinks.

These tiny computers rarely go above around 40 watts. They're so small, they wouldn't be able to use too much power without kicking out a ton of heat.

Yep everything is the government's fault, companies are incapable if maing pro-human decisions for themselves.

When CEOs are more powerful than governments, but are unable to be voted out, what is a society to do? 😆

Nah, just thought we were talking about the original meme. Didn't know she ran a scam

I recently started using it again. It's a much healthier way to consume news than scrolling reddit or social media sites.

I've also rediscovered some old favorite web comics, since most of them still post to their RSS feeds 😁

I love the idea of the #lightning network, but it's super unreliable outside of trivial amounts of money. And worse, the error messages when it fails are incomprehensible.

For example, I just tried to buy a gift card from bitrefill with nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmnyqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskueq555fk2 and was told I didn't have enough local funds. The balance is Zeus is larger than the amount I'm trying to send, so that seems like a terrible error message.

The amount is more than I have in any single channel, but that's why I have multiple channels and even a multi-path payment fails with that same error. If I need a bigger channel, 🙄 fine. Tell me that. And tell me how I can increase the size of an existing channel with Olympus.

Here's my point: If I have the #sats, in self-custody in lightning, I should be able to send as many of them as I want. In the event it does fail, I should be presented with an error message that clearly explains why.

This doesn't seem like it is too much to ask.

And, yes, I plan on setting up an always-online lightning node soon enough so I can complain about more lightning software failures, or sing their praises, whichever is appropriate.

I think we're always going to have to accept some jank when self-hosting infrastructure. This includes LN.

My life would be so much easier if I ditched nextcloud, homeassistant, LND, and all the other stuff I self-host. I just can't help but create problems for myself 😅

but it's the misinfo *I* like!
