Intel NUC with Core i5 processor, 16 GB RAM and 2 TB SSD.

Node runners, what kind of hardware do you run your node on?

There seems to be genuine confusion about how open source works. In particular some people believe that Bitcoin Core developers have a fiduciary duty, either towards them personally or towards some general notion of the Bitcoin network. They are surprised that I and some others respond to this rather aggressively.

Remember that this is the argument Craig Wright tried to make. He failed, but not after millions of dollars were burnt on defending these developers. And not after several quit because of the stress. Don't go down this path.

To put it as a catchy phrase: open source means you can do whatever you want with the code, not with the people who write it.

Open source lets you fork code, and modify it to your liking. That's pretty much what I do every day, which isn't to say that I don't also try to make sure other people like it. I get paid in Bitcoin and OpenSats keeps their whole treasury in it, so the idea that I want destroy potential future income is rather retarded.

Part of CSW's demands was that Bitcoin Core wrote specific (confiscation) code for him. Eventually he just hired people to write it for him, as one should, but somehow that still wasn't enough for him. I get a very similar vibe from people who run Knots but yet don't find that enough. Should we worry about a new round of lawsuits?

Currently I post more detailed Bitcoin stuff here, less detailed Bitcoin stuff on Twitter/X, and music on BlueSky. Should I start posting music here or would people be annoyed cause they just want Bitcoin content?

This pretty much sums up primal devs. They will record all of your searches tied to your pubkey, when you call them out on this they laugh at you and claim you are stirring up drama. They will even set an “NRO” profile picture to laugh at you some more. No longer going to recommend primal to anyone. It seems they couldn’t care less about your privacy.

My husband discovered Baldur’s Gate 3, and I think he has become one with his computer now.

Stanley Tucci for Pope?

Being an American means we can say whatever the fuck we want. Whenever the fuck we want.

I feel pity for the euros either they are so brainwashed they think they have free speech lol or they are painfully aware and the dissonance is tearing them up inside.

Not good. Something needs to change in Europe.

or just use firefox?

THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ONLY FANS GIRL AND A BITCOIN BLUE CHECK IS THE OF GIRL HAS MORE COIN.

SHOULD I STOP SAYING GOOD MORNING?

First post on Nostr. Still lots to learn!

I am a slut. You give me a million sats, you can get whatever you want on Amethyst.

I’m here because of nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx wouldn’t stop talking about it.

Next step is to figure out Zaps.
