I plan on building my s9 heater tomorrow.

I need a normie currated npub + onboardstr. Any suggestions?

I avoid talking about politics, especially about fiercely debated issues, but here is one of my hippie takes. I prefer The Virginia Declaration of Rights alternative to the second amendment.

"That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power."

I don't know what the Open AI controversy is and I don't care because I use https://home.plebai.com/.

Corporate/government controlled social media has eliminated privacy to the point where we no longer have an open society. This causes people to get stuck in echo chambers. An open society, with free speech allows for error correction. If you say a racial slur or an anti-semitic

joke in a free and open society, it won't get censored, but someone will be there to tell you your out of line. In a closed society, this error correction doesn't exist. You just see more racial slurs and anti-semitic jokes and your opinions get reinforced.Banning this speech makes it worse because the people banned from one platform migrate to another platform that will not ban them, making them concentrate in even more closed echo chambers.

I want privacy because I want an open society. I also don't want public speech censored anymore. The unintended consequences are too great. That's why I'm bullish on nostr.

https://www.devuan.org/ FTW!

Very, very similar to Debian and Ubuntu, but without PID 1 trying to be God.

Best range of FOSS software, supports everything from old desktops to supercomputing clusters.

Thanks. What's the advantage of having no systemd?

You can swap them back in with ride the lightning, but I'm not sure what the fees are these days.

Looks like fungus, but I don't know what kind.

We have recently disabled the ability to zap nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 wallet users from Mutiny. You may still pay their invoices or LN addresses normally but a big problem we were seeing was force closed channels due to stuck payments to Zeus due to their work arounds with locked payments. Which harm both the user experience and other lightning nodes on the network.

Since nostr users are mostly unaware if they're zapping Zeus users or not, we are taking this step proactively to protect users from having a 10 sat zap costing them serious on chain channel closing (and reopening) fees.

The approach we are working on for solving lightning addresses on mobile wallets is a fedimint hybrid approach where the sats end up at a federation if you are offline but get swept to your self custodial channel when you come online. Payments will settle instantly with the federation and it won't lock up unnecessary HTLCs on the network.

Ideally we get the ability to do offline receives normally on LN but that future is looking really grim with LND's continued priorities on shitcoins instead of features, and offline receives depends on a network wide upgrade.

We petition Zeus to move to a more responsible node implementation like LDK unless their plan is to add shitcoins or break LN further.

I was outraged by the no bullshit bitcoin headline, but after reading the article I was like, oh...is this why my channels get closed after sending 21 sat zaps?
