⚡️ NUEVO VÍDEO ⚡️
Un Dispositivo de Hombre Muerto (Dead Man's Switch) basado en la aplicación NTFY.
* Aprende a auto-hospedar un servidor NTFY para entregar mensajes en tu móvil con notificaciones PUSH funcionales.
Ntfy is amazing. If you go through its options you can do amazing things. In my Linux course I have a class exclusively about ntfy scripts. I love it.
⚡️ NEW VIDEO ⚡️
A Dead Man's Switch based on the NTFY app and (to a lesser extent) e-mail.
* Even if you don't care about the DMS, you can learn how to self host a NTFY server, to deliver messages to your mobile with working push notifications.
Enjoy!
Do you have one about how to setup a node with a wireguard VPS tunnel?
You should share your excellent videos on https://stacker.news/
Part 5 of my Wireguard video
I will probably make a video about setting up a Dead Man Switch.
It must be easy, but I don't like email for this short of thing. You can do everything right with a Postfix server, and then Google (or whoever) can change their minds over the weekend and REKT your deliverability. https://nostrcheck.me/media/6fd3915a55ad0c2eae64e2b818acbbae9c6b3d9b5ee44e19aa040fb09f0d3cdd/933cc18eea857ae7851c738293a486586a95ede11cbcee33148cf68203dc9be8.webp

I learned all this bottom up, so my channel is actually a good starting point to DYOR. Also, read the comments below the videos. There's a bunch of smart people there mentioning other resources.
My Experience with nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9
**TL;DR Strike is garbage.**
I started using Strike in the middle of March this year.
My first impression was that it was a great app. It had Lightning integrated, on-chain withdrawals were free, and the setup was pretty easy, even though I had to do a full KYC. After all, they are regulated and that is to be expected.
I began using Strike to send and receive BTC and buy gift cards directly within the app. I was pretty amazed at how easy everything worked. I loved the app. I even recommended it as an onboarding app for pre-coiner friends. Well, not anymore.
One day in May, about two months later, I wanted to send some BTC to an exchange or buy a gift card (which was basically all I did with the app in those previous two months). However, the app denied access to my BTC. All I got was a cartoon lightning bolt saying, “We need to review your account. Contact support.”
At first, I was shocked. I didn't have my life savings in the app, but it wasn’t a trivial amount of sats either. So, there it was, right in my face for the first time: Not your keys, not your coins. I got angry with myself and with Strike too.
I contacted support.
Support wrote that to comply with regulations, they needed additional information (remember, I already did full KYC), like a pay stub, signed employee agreement, or tax statement.
This was my response:
Hey, the Bitcoin with which I funded my Strike account are savings from the past. I don't work currently, and I also have no tax statement because I just moved to Brazil last year. What exactly is the problem? I didn't do anything illegal or wrong. I expect this issue to be resolved immediately or you will lose a customer. I already regret using your service. I'm very disappointed.
Yeah, I was really pissed because I couldn’t access my sats. They locked me out. Just like that.
Strike answered:
Dear User,
Upon careful review, we have determined that your account has engaged in prohibited use. We regret to inform you that we can no longer provide you with access to our service.
At this time, your account has been permanently disabled. Please withdraw all remaining assets from your account within one week from receiving this message, and confirm with us when the withdrawal has been completed. After this timeframe, the account will be closed permanently. Please be advised that this decision is final.
Best regards,
The Strike Team
Okay… So now Strike accused me of “prohibited use” of their app.
I asked them to be kind and specify what prohibited use I engaged in. Because obviously, I don’t want to get in trouble or do anything illegal.
Their answer:
This decision is based on an assessment of different qualifications. Our customer support team can only confirm that we sent this message and assist with technical issues only. Support cannot reverse this decision, nor can they share any more details related to this matter.
Thank you for that great answer. I can really see you care about your customers and their experience. But I guess at that point, I wasn’t their customer anymore anyway.
Still, I sent them another message and asked who I could talk to. If there was anybody who could clarify what I did wrong. Remember, all I did was send and receive BTC and buy gift cards.
Their answer? Well, they never answered again. Just like that. That was it.
After this beautiful experience, I posted about it on Nostr.
And guess what? nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle answered.
Woohooo!
He said I should send him a DM and he would happily look into the issue.
Cool! Now that’s what I call customer service.
So, I did. No answer.
I sent him another one. Again, no answer.
I sent another one or two. Still no answer.
This was 5 weeks ago.
I guess he is very busy.
What a joke Strike is.
I've had the privilege of meeting Pupusas Game (@PupusasG in birdsite), a truly beautiful human being and 100% legit bitcoin educator.
I am humbled by his personal story and convinced that his work and contributions will be paramount in moving El Salvador into a brighter future.
No small feat.
Uncannily accurate. Those who have never witnessed serious mental health issues would disregard this phenomena as 'weakness' or 'low emotional intelligence'

I suppose nostr:npub1dlfezkj445xzatnyu2up3t9m46wxk0vmtmjyuxd2qs8mp8cd8nws8mcdx0 only goal is to let people become smartest by installing applications by themselves, not by clicking on a button and let the magic happen 🎉
The audience of my channel is different. I like Start9 hardware a lot, but if you can (and I know it's a lot to ask) adopt a paranoid stance by using extremely well reviewed stripped down distros, avoid GUIs, install what you need only, learn how to harden/setup a server and manage users/processes, verify manually, keep bitcoin software segragated from other stuff, and keep yourself well informed about technical/political issues that might require individual decissions on your part as a peer in the bitcoin network.
I'm not here for 'simple', but for 'sovereign'. I don't want a third party serving me free software that I can install myself, specially when bitcoin is involved. Running thousands of lines of unneccesary code next to your bitcoin node is not a good idea.
The instructions are outdated, but just follow their current guide, as I did when I recorded the video.
