I'm being called.
Several hours before being required to verify using government issued documents, I closed my NiceHash account. I made the decision the moment I got an email saying I would eventually have to verify, though it took me a while to do everything I wanted to do before leaving.
I'm tired of having to "prove" my identity and my "liveness" to various services because government crooks are demanding it. I have nothing against NiceHash and was sorry to go, but it was time for me to self-host my stuff and this was as good a time as any to do that and move towards self-sufficiency in this regard.
My node is going to need regular maintenance, but I think I can now move onto other projects with a certain peace of mind. I'll be taking the rest of the day off and figure out what to focus on next.
See y'all tomorrow!
I've managed to set up a working LN node complete with a LNURL I can receive zaps on! 🍾
The server is running a full #bitcoin node, a #nostr #relay (using nostr:npub10npj3gydmv40m70ehemmal6vsdyfl7tewgvz043g54p0x23y0s8qzztl5h's https://relay.tools/), and a #ln node with #lnbits on top.
What a great way to end the week! Happy Sunday everyone!
I have no doubt they are corrupt in their own way, but when the EU says it it usually means they won't bend over.
Our government is all too happy to do that so the EU doesn't mind turning a blind eye to the corruption, I guess. At least on occasion.
It's that DST crap. Should be called DWT.
Most conformant of the Balkan nations, yes. I disliked the EU from the outset as well, even voted against joining. But in a democracy you get only what the majority wants, so here I am making the best I can to separate myself and my family from that crap.
*accidentally
Could be, I've deleted my DNS zone yesterday and after I recreated it it still even now isn't fully propagated.
There are limited grass-fed options here, true, but grain-fed is still good. Find a local butcher if you can, and go for it. Grass fed is like the ultimate superfood. Grain fed is lagging behind (though it can have nice marbling), but both are well ahead of anything else you can have in terms of nutrition and health.
My self-hosted lnurl still isn't working for some reason, all the transactions are just pending until they expire.
Will try to figure it out tomorrow.
Good night, #nostr
Going carnivore has eliminated all my rashes, allergies, asthma symptoms, hypothyroidism symptoms, and other issues I didn't even know were issues until they were resolved through this WOE.
I can't recommend the carnivore WOE highly enough.
Already had one running for a while, but had to reconfigure my services so I'm just testing if my new configuration works.
Looks like it's working fine.
Relay test 2
That feeling when you want to remove a DNS record and then you accidentally delete the whole zone.

I'll be temporarily taking down my relay because I need to reorganize the services I'm running on my servers to be able to host my own ln wallet. I'll likely start in the afternoon today and I have no ETA on when I'll be done. It might take a while, but hopefully I'll finish by November 1.
Question for #nostr about #ln
I want to set up my own symbolic ln wallet address on my server. I want to use it to send/receive zaps here on nostr. What lnurl service is good to use out of the box? Tried one but it's got a bug... could fix it but I don't want to get into it that deep (for now).
Suggestions?
SpaceX estimates the trip to Mars will take about 6 months - and this has been roughly true for unmanned missions so far - meaning roughly the speed of the ship traveling there is 119000 km/h. At this speed, the relativistic effect takes place, and for the crew, the trip will appear to take less than 6 months, or around 5 months, meaning they would measure their approach to Mars to be at roughly 144000 km/h.
After a round trip, they will have perceived to have traveled for only 10 months, rather than the 12 months as measured on Earth.
These are rough calculations, and based on the average distance traveled by unmanned missions to Mars so far.
I have one too. Here it is:

Eat meat. Your mind and body thrive on it.
