You should not need an account on a corporate server in order to use software.

family member slid in my DMs asking for advice about where he should store his CRYPTO gainz. He's apparently worried that Coinbase might rug him..

so obviously I'm trying to dissuade him from holding that junk and self-custodying Bitcoin. What's a good article or video I can leave him with to all that off with?

Test strfry-policies without using `deno task filter`

```sh

head -n1 /tmp/test.jsonl | \

}' | doas -u strfry ./complex-entrypoint.ts

Got cashu running on my nix laptop. This is a basic FHS environment that lets python build secp256k1:

```

{ pkgs ? import {} }:

(pkgs.buildFHSEnv {

name = "nutshell-fhs-env";

targetPkgs = pkgs: with pkgs; [

autoconf

automake

gcc

libtool

pkg-config

tmux

];

runScript = "./run-cashu.sh";

}).env

```

`run-cashu.sh`:

```

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e

# Default values (can be overridden by command-line arguments)

SESSION_NAME="${1:-cashu}"

if tmux has-session -t "$SESSION_NAME" 2>/dev/null; then

echo "Session '$SESSION_NAME' already exists. No action taken."

exit 0

fi

# Create new detached session, specifying fish as the default shell

#tmux new-session -d -s "$SESSION_NAME" -x "$(tput cols)" -y "$(tput lines)" "fish"

tmux new-session -d -s "$SESSION_NAME" "fish"

# Activate virtual environment inside the tmux session

tmux send-keys -t "$SESSION_NAME" "source .venv/bin/activate.fish" C-m

# Source the configuration for cashu

#tmux send-keys -t "$SESSION_NAME" "source .env" C-m

# Start the open-webui server in the new fish shell

tmux send-keys -t "$SESSION_NAME" "cashu --help" C-m

# Attach to the session

tmux attach-session -t "$SESSION_NAME"

```

Woo! I'm flying in tomorrow night.

racknerd is a bargain and uses coinify. just be aware that they change provider at least once a year. last year it was coinbase. they never take down their blackfriday or newyears deals.

is the news coverage you're following as good as Channel 4 in the UK? Cause afaict they've been doing a freakin' good job of showing how perplexing the situation is. Genuinely curious if there's other media out there that's this good, because I'm not used it.

Just installed my first nix flake. It's nix-bitcoin! And no krops either. Total standalone machine.

I'm copying over blocks now and next will fiddle with settings, then try activating secure mode (had it on previously when I installed via krops, so the config should work).

```

{

description = "NixOS configuration with nix-bitcoin";

inputs = {

nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-24.05";

nix-bitcoin.url = "github:fort-nix/nix-bitcoin/release";

nix-bitcoin.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";

# nixpkgs.follows = "nix-bitcoin/nixpkgs";

# nixpkgs-unstable.follows = "nix-bitcoin/nixpkgs-unstable";

};

outputs = { self, nixpkgs, nix-bitcoin }: {

nixosConfigurations.quilladin = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {

system = "x86_64-linux";

modules = [

./configuration.nix

nix-bitcoin.nixosModules.default

# Optional:

# Import the secure-node preset, an opinionated config to enhance security

# and privacy.

#

# (nix-bitcoin + "/modules/presets/secure-node.nix")

{

nix-bitcoin.generateSecrets = true;

services.bitcoind.enable = true;

nix-bitcoin.operator = {

enable = true;

name = "fiatjaf";

};

}

];

};

};

}

```

The lore says he planned it. The guy has a plan for everything

The green part is the available system memory. This is while I'm running almost absolutely nothing except a pipeline for upscaling video in comfyui. Oh the vram on the GPU is maxed out at the same time!

btw comfyui is one hell of a rabbithole

You'll never use all that ram they said

This is fine
