No, it’s entirely self hosted. WireGuard is native to the Linux kernel which is kind of awesome.
Unless you specify otherwise, your traffic to the internet goes out of the default gateway that whatever client machine was using before, eg your home router. But if you configure your client a certain way you can force all outbound traffic from that machine to go through another on your WireGuard network, making it similar to an exit node on a Tailscale network. There are tons of things you can do with WireGuard!
Interesting that based on these stats, the average zap is ~14k sats. There must be some high rollers out there propping that average up. I wonder what the distribution looks like…
💯💯💯
if you're looking for a pretty vanilla wireguard setup and don't need to worry about more complicated constructs like a site-to-site tunnel, IP restrictions, interface MTU or anything like that, then I'm also a big fan of wg-easy because it puts a UI around it which makes the whole experience comparable to Tailscale:
This is the way. Once I wrapped my head around it, it's actually quite simple and elegant.
I think it’ll get a bit smoother when clients begin to feature direct payments, hopefully with an option to use an in-app custodial wallet a la Fountain (podcast app). That way the burden is not on the user to go and find a separate lightning wallet app and learn how to get their Nostr profile set up with an NIP-57 compliant address etc.; it would be turnkey.
Users should be able to start accumulating satoshis from zaps without taking any action at all. For people that don’t care about bitcoin, the satoshis might as well be a relatively meaningless social currency similar to the “likes” they’re used to on legacy social media. But if the user accumulates enough bitcoin to be meaningful and wants to take custody of it, they can do so if they choose.
I'm definitely not denying that possibility, but the question is: should I trust my own very limited abilities as a hobbyist sysadmin to provide a more secure environment than what I might pay for with the likes of 1Password?
There are different risks either way. I think the specter of "it's me vs. an entire internet full of baddies" should be rightfully scary to any prospective self-hoster that takes privacy and security seriously.
My favorite part of this meme is the nuclear power plant asset from SimCity 4 lol. Recognized it instantly.

As a dem I 100% agree. Wtf is this clown show.
I thought the same at first but I ended up with a lot of wallets. I wouldn’t store my seeds on Google drive but 1password is E2E encrypted and the data is only viewable by people that have the account key. Honestly it’s probably more secure than self hosting bitwarden unless you’re a security guru. But I’m just having fun tinkering with it.
Just did the same. The thing I miss the most about 1password is that it supports more record types (like ssh keys and crypto wallet seeds for example) whereas Bitwarden only offers more basic record types like login, credit card. Also the fact that one time passwords are a paid feature on Bitwarden is annoying but I suppose a year of it is cheap so 🤷♂️
I don’t know what this does but TIL that LNBits has hardware devices?
Speaking as a product leader myself, PMs who prioritize delivery over everything else, absent a specific business mandate to do so in the short term, are shitty PMs that I would not endorse for promotion. That kind of shit is wack and I hope never to work in a fiat mine with that kind of product culture.
I you oh too 🫂
🌋 nice hot cleaning burn 
I’m a product owner in the IRL fiat mines and I feel this deeply and am also powerless to stop it. Too often it’s underlying business pressure that creates this dynamic. I could write your post from a PM’s perspective but replace the words “product owner” with “bizops” and have something equally accurate. The truth is that quarterly revenue pressures are a bitch for shipping good product.
Tried my hand at smoking/braising beef shanks. Definitely will repeat. I love the cheap cuts of beef that turn into something incredible with a bit of smoke and fire (and a lot of time) #meatchain
