MoNGMI could be a real thing. But it'll be more Peter Schiff than peanut butter.
I've apparently butt-dialed my way into discovering a gorgeous Amethyst feature I've never seen before!

Imagine if I was buying bitcoin in 2012 instead of bullshit low sodium, low fat chicken soup?!
This was FIVE YEARS before my first sats!


It's ranch dressing. I assume this used to be white? Okay, first thing that's actually grossed me out.


First ingredient.

Ha, I knew someone would spot that!
Welcome to my cupboard.

Once you have the hardware, it's easy to experiment with different ubuntu installers on a USB stick.
I haven't done Umbrel tests yet, but my guess is the non-desktop Ubuntu is fine because Umbrel's UI is all web based anyway.
Wouldn't a direct intra-LAN `signthis` api/rpc call be simpler? Why use nostr protocol comms to interact w/my own infrastructure from within my own LAN?
8yr old laptop (i5-6200U cpu) running a whole bitcoin suite of tools in their own Debian VMs. Easy to snapshot and restore at the VM level and set up regular backups of their data partitions.
nostr:npub1r7psmkr4zv93xnal8un6d8hvmpsn5jvhfzn3kk38rfcel6awznks7znspg said that he went to a talk at TABConf, took a snapshot of his bitcoind VM, f'ed around with it to follow along during the talk, and then just restored it back to the pre-talk snapshot state when he was done. Pretty awesome.
Can even move live VMs running on one hardware device to a different one in the cluster with no downtime. This old laptop is just a testbed, but I'm getting more powerful mini PCs into the mix and should be able to move these over as-is and leave the laptop for more trash-this-system experiments.

I'm exploring ProxMox to containerize everything and eventually have a redundant cluster of hosts at the physical hardware level. So far the early steps are blowing my mind with how well it works.
Oh, that's fixable! You can force Docker to emulate amd64 in a couple of different ways. Look for PLATFORM(?) cli arg. Can also specify in the Dockerfile and in docker-compose if that's used.
Wait, looking at it now, there's a docker option. So physical architecture shouldn't matter.
Yet another reason to head down the used laptop / used mini PC route!!!
What are my options for remote nostr key signing running on my home server?
nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft's nsec bunker is overkill for me (I'll just stay VPNed into my LAN so would prefer a more direct approach).
Would ideally be able to sign events for web clients ( nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg, nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7) and Amethyst on Android.
