Could you tell the difference if i installed it through obtainium or got the apk directly from github releases? (Like with a browser or cURL)

You can still buy those? I am looking for something tv size but that is basically a computer monitor. Bunch of inputs and a remote to switch between those inputs and i would be super happy. Do these come above 50"?

And wrong buttons were pressed ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Thanks! Daar moet ik even een keer tijd voor maken.

Yes, it's a problem-avoiding addiction. In that sense you could exchange the weed with anything that draws the attention away from a nagging battle going on inside your head, like watching tv or playing videogames.

Most people learn over time that these issues do not go away because you can avoid them for a while. In the end they grow and need resolution. Might as well get it over with asap.

This is the case with many people. I often hear you cannot get addicted to weed yet i can't find a better term to describe it if you use it on a near-daily basis.

Something starts nagging at you to do something, then you smoke and that feeling disappears, escaping that nagging feeling for the day. The next day it will be there again probably.

I'm happy to hear you overcame your barrier!

There's pro's and cons like with everything. What for some people is a downside is an upside for other people, depending from person to person. I don't think there's a single general benefit that fits every person.

However:

- Because your thought patterns change you can become more creative or it can help you relax.

- It can either remove (social) anxiety but also induce it.

- It can give you an overall better appreciation for things.

- It can increase your appetite, which can be either good or bad again, depending on the situation.

Like with most things moderation is key here if your intentions are to try to improve your life and not escape (the problems in) your life.

Later this year we are planning to start offering plug and play nodes and payment servers. We are currently testing nostr:npub1l5pxvjzhw77h86tu0sml2gxg8jpwxch7fsj6d05n7vuqpq75v34syk4q0n beauties. The ronindojo bokuto and btcpayserver enclosure. Hack0 hardware with 2TB for the node and 1TB for the nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg. This hardware should last longer (~decade) than our raspis (1-3 years they only lasted).

We’ve been testing quite some setups but these are real beauties, proper proof of work which i can really appreciate.

The node took ~5 days to sync the bitcoin timechain. There were some issues with starting the plug and play btcpayserver, which we’ll solve soon.

It’s great going through these testing cycles and be in toch with fellow pleb builders in Europe. I’m really happy to see the free open market is so decentralized. Can’t wait we start supplying more plug and play sovereign devices soon. We are most likely going to need them in the future.

Do the rpi's actually malfunction or is it maybe just the sd-card that breaks down? I know (from experience) that sd-cards are notoriously bad if you write to them often. I've had an rpi setup that lasted only about 9 months because i was capturing my (electricity) meter every 10 seconds and writing a small file (~100 bytes) to the card.

After i changed it to write that file to a memory disk it ran fine for about 6 years and all i did was occasionally install some OS updates.

However i think for your setup it might be wise to upgrade it anyway. The bare boards are relatively cheap but that is only if you don't count all the peripherals you have to additionally buy to make them actually work, like adapters, sd cards, maybe some kind of enclosure..

Like this "strategy" that nobody ever needs or could possibly understand, unless you are some kinda masochist and love conflicts.
